August 2014 Favourites

My Top Picks for August 2014

Hi friends!

So I know this post is a bit late, but as some of you would have read, I need to take a little blogging break for a few days. There are only a few products that I really loved in August but I know that September's post is going to be a big one!

These three products I received at the end of July at the Bloggers Who Bless Christmas In July party and I've really enjoyed using them. I have already reviewed them so here are the links for them and the reasons why I love them - Dermafix Vitamin Therapy Masque ; Blendbox Firm Body Scrub and the Suigo Vital Nutrition Hair Care Range.

I won this nail polish from Toy South Africa a few weeks ago, along with a purple nail polish & a multi-coloured glitter nail polish but I've been loving this colour for winter and think I will even be rocking it in spring & summer! Toy Nail Polish is 3-free and they use recycled glass for their packaging so I love that they are green! This shade is called "Mojito mood". Here is the link to my instagram pic of my nails.

I mentioned this candle on my Christmas In July Wishlist and my secret santa aka Irina from I'll Take It All bought it for me *yay*. I love burning this candle while I'm working - my whole room smells divine - just like vanilla cupcakes. I think Yankee Candles are such a great gift to give - who doesn't love a scented candle?

Hope you enjoyed my choices - let me know if you've tried any of these products?

REVIEW: Firm Body Scrub

Firm Body Scrub from Blendbox

Hi beautiful friends!

Today I want to share with you on the blog, a divine body scrub that I received at the Bloggers Who Bless (a blogging group that I'm part of) Christmas In July party. It's the Firm Body Scrub from one of my favourite cruelty-free South African brands, Blendbox. You can read more about the brand here. 

Last year I got some Blendbox goodies and I loved each product, especially the Calm Room Spray & the Calm Body Scrub. I had been saving my Calm Body Scrub as it's one of the best scrubs that I've used lately and sadly a few weeks ago it finished *sob* so imagine my delight when I received this new scrub.

First of all it says that it helps firm skin, um hello summer body! From that statement it was already in my good books! Made from essential oils to tone and firm skin, detoxify your lymphatic system as well as help get rid of cellulite, this scrub is just what I need ahead of the upcoming bikini season.

With ingredients such as Shea Butter; Avocado Butter; Cocoa Butter and Citrus Oils, not only does this scrub hydrate your skin while getting rid of dead skin cells, but the citrus oils also help your immune system. 

The reason why I love scrubs from Blendbox so much is because of the fact that they use so many essential oils, so there is no need to apply moisturiser after you've stepped out of the shower!

Although I like the citrus sent of this product from the firm range, I will admit that the Calm range has the best scent for me. Apparently Blendbox have launched a new range, the grace range which sounds divine!
