Fashion and Style Police Reviews Beauty Caffe & Aveeno

August 8, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 30 Comments

I am always looking out for new great skincare products to try. I have heard a lot of good things about Aveeno. So I knew I had to try some of the products and see for myself. Beauty Caffe Beauty Scrub also landed on my doorstep some weeks ago, and I was keen to try that out too!

This Coffee Scrub is natural and organic. It leaves the skin soft, smooth and hydrated from head to toe. This product is very high in antioxidants to nourish and protect your skin, helping to repair and rejuvenate your body.

I have used it a few times now and I really like what it does to my skin. I apply it all over my body in the shower and it leaves my skin feeling soft and supple.

The Coffee Scrub is made with fresh ground coffee beans, brown sugar and Himalayan Rock Salt which helps scrub away the dead flaky skin.

 

PROS
  1. It does all it promises on the pack. I love how smooth my skin is after using this scrub.
  2. It contains only natural and organic products which is amazing.
  3. I like the light RRP of £12.99.

CONS
  1. The packaging is not practical. It can be a bit messy to use.

 

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion

I have heard a lot of good things about the Aveeno brand so I decided to test some of the products for myself. I got this Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion some days ago and I have been using it everyday. This lotion is clinically proven to go beyond 24 hour moisturisation and replenish the skin’s natural barrier function, to significantly improve the condition of dry skin in just 2 weeks. And I think it does just that.

I got this lotion from my local Boots to help with my dryness after having a facial treatment – Crystal Microdermabrasion Treatment. It is a treatment that sheds off the dead facial skin but more on that treatment later.

PROS
  1. I like the packaging a lot.
  2. It smells great.
  3. It moisturises my skin beautifully. And I love the texture of the lotion.
  4. My skin looks a lot smoother after daily use of this moisturising lotion.
  5. It absorbs quickly and just sinks into the skin.

 

CONS

None. I love this product a lot.

 

 

Aveeno Daily Moisturising After Shower Mist

This Aveeno Daily Moisturising After Shower Mist is made from oat axtract, which intensely nourishes dry skin in one application. I have been using it for some days now and I really like it. Never used anything like this shower mist before.

PROS
  1. It is easy to use with the spray bottle. You just spray all over the body after a shower/bath and rub in.
  2. I like the fragrance a lot.
  3. It leaves my skin looking and feeling soft/smooth.
  4. This product leaves my skin moisturised for about 48 hours.
  5. I like the fact that it is non greasy and fast absorbing.

 

CONS

None

Fashion and Style Police Reviews Fat & the Moon Mermaid Mask

July 28, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 32 Comments

I have recently started using this Fat & the Moon Mermaid Mask and I have quite a lot to say about the skincare product. This face and hair mask is one of the products I have been trying this month. I am always interested in any skincare product that promises to improve my skin so this Fat & the Moon Mermaid Mask had my attention as soon as it landed on my doorstep. This Mermaid mask was inspired from a raw dessert that went wrong. The mask promises to tone and moisturise at the same time.

Product Ingredients

– honey powder* (honey* and maltodextrin)

– rhassoul clay

– aloe vera powder*

– lavender essential oil*

– organic*

 

Here are my thoughts on this face mask –

 

PROS
  1. It left my face feeling smooth and soft.
  2. My face felt very clean after using this Mermaid Mask.
  3. It is quite affordable at £16.50.
  4. A little goes a long way. I only needed to mix 1 teaspoon of the mask with a few tablespoons of hot water and massage into your face. Leave on for at least 20 minutes.
  5. My face felt moisturised after using this mask.
  6. It is a multi tasking product. It can be used as a face and hair mask.

CONS
  1. It can be a bit messy when mixing and applying so ensure you do this in your bathroom/shower room.
  2. I am not a fan of the smell.

 

Overall, I like the Fat & the Moon Mermaid Mask as a face mask. I can see myself using it again and again. I am yet to try it on my hair because I currently have cornrows on but I will be trying it once I take them out. It is definitely a product worth trying if you are in need of a different type of face mask. It does all it promises to do and more.

My Natural Hair Journey With Cantu

July 10, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 25 Comments

*Collaborative post.

I started my natural hair journey about 2 years primarily with SheaMoisture and African Pride hair products. And I have not really looked at trying any other brands until recently. Lately, my hair has been breaking thanks to some silly protective hairstyles I have been doing. I knew it was time to test out other natural hair products to help grow my hair. In my pursuit of the right hair products to save my hair, I met Cantu.

Cantu is a 100% pure shea butter and coconut oil-infused range that includes a complete regimen of Cleanse, Condition, Curl, and Control products.  Cantu natural hair products provide moisture, nourishment, and protection to meet the daily demands of natural hair.

I tried Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Deep Treatment Masque, Leave-In Conditioner Repair Cream, and Tea Tree & Jojoba Hair and Scalp Oil.
