    Beauty Review | Down to earth

    Another beauty review is here! Beauty Review | Down to Earth and we are particularly excited about this one.

    LR SVZ 0887

    Down To Earth is a smart, simple skincare and wellness solution that harnesses the healing goodness of plant extracts. The Down To Earth range of products is designed to enhance skin health, and physical well-being, and alleviate the symptoms of a range of common ailments. When you look great, you feel great – and Down To Earth’s goal is to help you and your family experience both, enhancing the quality of your life.

    Down To Earth started out in 1997, originally founded by Anthony Rees (of The Traditional and Natural Health Alliance), a trained herbalist and environmental activist, who wanted the company to reflect environmentally conscious ingredients and choices.

    The company’s flagship product featured African potato extract – a powerful plant extract rich in phytosterols, with potent anti-inflammatory properties and packed with antimicrobial and antioxidant-rich compounds. We can vouch for this. The product it pretty amazing!

    Practical and user friendly beauty

    PRACTICAL AND USER-FRIENDLY – Down To Earth specialises in natural daily skincare and skin ailment solutions that harness the healing goodness of plant extracts. Fuss-free, and multi-purpose products to help simplify your daily life and to give you peace of mind.

    If you’re seeking relief from pain, inflammation, skin conditions, or abrasions – or simply want a healthy, natural skincare range to maintain the health of your skin as part of your daily routine – then this range is for you.

    The naturally active plant-based skincare range, inspired and assisted by nature, is designed to provide you with a planet-friendly choice that is healthy, safe, and incredibly effective.

    The Good Stuff

    Bodycare

    Incorporating the Down to Earth products into my daily routine has been a breeze! Like the All Over Wash and Body Lotion has completely replaced my night time moisturisers for my body and body wash.

    Formulated to nurture while it cleans with the help of aloe ferox, honeybush, grape seed and palmarosa oils, it works to prevent moisture-loss, and protects sensitive skin and scalp. If there is one thing that this body lotion does, is that it leaves skin soft and plump, nurturing those with sensitive skin.

     

    Keeping it Down to Earth

    Okay, I’m going to keep it real with you guys. A lot of beauty products have come my way and I would like to think I have a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to skincare. So when Down to Earth landed on my beauty desk, I was sceptical.

    I thought here is another brand that is all organic and natural and will never show results. They proved me wrong. This brand has by far surpassed my wildest expectations because I am actually seeing POSITIVE results! The Lotions and Body wash have been extremely gentle on my skin and actually repairing it the more I use it! It really is such an amazing product and they even have an award to show for it! Woman and Home Bodycare Winner for 2022!

    The dynamic team have gone above and beyond to offer us what we need for keeping our skin, simply healthy. Giving us peace of mind in choosing products that are all-natural, safe to use, and free from any harmful additives or chemicals.

    SVZ 0904 1001x1500 1

    Bundle for the Whole Family

    I have truly loved everything single product in the pack. The Down to Earth Team has set up Bundles that will make your life a little easier when deciding on what you need, which is something I find so helpful when starting out with a new skincare brand. You can check out the bundles here. I wont doubt you will find one that’s perfect for your family.

    If you are looking for simple, no fuss, natural body care products that will offer your skin visible results, then I urge you to give Down To Earth a try. A brand that will be taking residence in my beauty cabinet for the years to come.

    A very popular Russian cosmetic brand that was launched in 2010. The brand is owned by Pervoe Reshenie, a well-known cosmetic manufacturer. Organic Kitchen is one of its newest series to funky brand. The series comprises a wide range of personal care products, from face creams to foot scrubs.

    The name of the series reflects its essence. Organic Kitchen products really look like they could have been made in some magical kitchen.

    Our Review

    These products really do stand out due to their unusual and very funny names, but apart from the catchy branding, the products were really good. And not just one of them. All of them. I adore that these products are cruelty free and completely vegan. So that means 100% natural ingredients that are perfect for sensitive skin gals like myself.

    I’m yet to see any lifting happening in my derrière region from the “Pop Art” cream, but here’s hoping..

    My skin feels super supple and deliciously soft. I especially find that with body washes, it strips your skin from all moisture and this one certainly doesn’t which is a  huge win for a shower gel!

    All in all, I am super chuffed with the brand.

    From skin and hair to body care, The Organic Shop have a product just right for you, your family and your furry friends. With the websites easy navigation and beautiful layout, you are bound to get lost in all it has to offer. How magnificent is it that the shop stocks organic products right at your fingertips.

  • The Secret to Youth- Youthology Collagen

    The Secret to Youth- Youthology Collagen

    the secret to youth – youthology collagen

    There I sat, looking into the mirror thinking, “How did you age so quickly?” Apart from a great skincare regime, mother nature and stress has deepened my fine lines to actual crevasse’s. Looking for every option under the sun, I think I may have found the secret to youth- Youthology Collagen.

    DSC5181 2

    I thought I would document the appearance of my skin before starting with the Collagen. Brace yourselves for extreme close-ups of my face. 

    Skincare Routine Instagram Post 1

    It’s no secret that collagen has hit the beauty world by storm. Who doesn’t want beautiful glowing skin at the age or 30+? So I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone has tried some sort of collagen supplement. Me included. I was delighted to learn about another brand, Youthology, and was eager to put the product to the test. 

    Youthology Contains Type I, II and III Collagen

    Type I and lll collagen is found throughout the human body: it makes up more than 90% of organic bone mass. As well as comprising a major part of our skin, tendons and ligaments.

    Youthology Pure Collagen Powder consists of specialised collagen peptides Type I and II – important components for supporting healthy skin. Administered orally, it influences the skin’s collagen metabolism directly from the inside.

    These specialised peptides in YOUTHOLOGY COLLAGEN POWDER increase collagen metabolism to counter-balance collagen degradation in the dermis.

    Supplementation of YOUTHOLOGY PURE COLLAGEN POWDER counteracts skin aging and improves the visual skin appearance.

    DSC5160 1

    this collagen is different

    Youthology’s unique formulation includes further powerful anti aging ingredients : Hyaluronic Acid with its amazing ability to retain water. It effectively increases moisture and lubrication in skin and joints. Chondroitin Sulphate an important building block of cartilage, can prevent the degradation of joints.

    the claim

    Containing specialised bioactive collagen peptides, types l, ll & lll, which are clinically proven to:

    Significantly reduce wrinkles by up to 50% after 4 weeks.
    Increase collagen in the skin by 60% with continued use.
    Increase skin elasticity by 30%.
    Improve growth and condition of nails and hair.
    Improve gut health.
    Increase lean muscle mass while decreasing fat mass.
    Significantly decrease cellulite in 3‑6 months.
    Improve joint mobility and reduce pain and inflammation within 3 days.

    DSC5174 1

    the result

    This collagen is odourless and tasteless which is great because you can add it to just about anything. I add mine to my Chai Latte Teas and smoothies. I have been receiving tons of compliments from my family about how my skin is looking so it’s definitely improved my skin in a great way! Some may think it’s a gimmick, but I truly believe collagen does help supplement the body. 

    If you’d like to give YOUTHOLOGY a go you can use my code LITTLEGURUYOUTH15 to save.  Expect some incredibly speedy service and an impeccable online shopping experience. These guys are top notch. 

    Are you ready to discover the secret to youth with Youthology?

    Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare

    Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare

    For those not familiar with the brand, Litchi & Titch pride themselves on their ‘all natural’ tagline. Developed using oils and extracts from plants, seeds, fruits and flowers. No chemicals, fragrance oils or toxic ingredients are found in any of their products.
     
    The brand is all about creating authentic body and skin care, which is as indulgent, as it is effective. So here is the Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare.
    Litchi & Titch

    Plant-based skincare products can deliver excellent results, thanks partly to the fact that their active ingredients are found in nature. 

    The Skincare Range in Review

    Nourishing Body Oil Lime & Coconut- R375

    DSC5136 1

    I can’t resist a body oil, and this one did not disappoint. Absolutely love the all-natural scent of coconut with a hint of Lime. Applying body oils onto damp skin (they absorb better) are great and found this one to be very hydrating. The key oils include Baobab, pawpaw & sweet almond. I also like that it can double up as a bath oil. This is a real bliss-inducing oil that is a treat to use.

    Rose Water Face Mist- R160

    DSC5141 1

    A beautifully hydrating and uplifting fine mist spray, that can be used on your face as well as on your linen. Because of the inclusion of Colloidal Silver in this product, the Rose Mist is also soothing and gentle, healing skin inflammations. It too assists with skin tone and is a fabulous ‘pick-me-up’ on a low day.

    Mini Skincare Hydration Set -R890

    DSC5149 1

     

    If anyone knows me well enough, they will know that I go absolutely nuts for MINI’s! I adore mini’s as its ideal for people  wanting to sample products from the range. What better way to see skin benefits than to experience the perfect selection of products – together from the start!

    It’s delightful, very generous for a mini and so incredible on the skin. So much so that I purchased a full sized foamer and body wash.

    Each MINI’s Set contains the following products:

    50ml Foaming Cleanser- Buy here

    50mml Cleansing Oil- Buy here

    30ml Exfoliator- Buy here

    30ml Day Cream – Buy here

    10ml Serum- Buy here

    Thoroughly enjoyed everything single product in this range and cannot rave about it enough. My absolute favourites from the mini set is the cleansing oil and foam cleanser. I’m very into cleansing oils and balms as they are fabulous at removing long wearing makeup effectively, without drying the skin. This one contains a blend of plant and fruit oils that bind ‘dirt’, make-up and excess sebum on the surface of the skin, effectively cleaning away impurities.

    DSC5145 1

    Why We Love It + DISCOUNT CODE

    Quite simply, it’s PURE, CLEAN SKINCARE . Litchi & Titch focuses on Skin Need as opposed to Skin Type which to me, is a unique way to look at skincare. I am SO for it and VERY impressed by this skincare brand.

    Use discount code MYGIFT – 20% discount valid until the end of March.

    I received some gorgeous products that I simply cannot wait to share with you! 

    The Goodies

    The Little Guru Photography

    Talk about eye-catching- WOW. Although it’s not like your ordinary basic, neutral skincare packing, the SKINFRÉSH brand is bright and bold and simply beautiful, just like it’s contents. 

    We trialed the Balancing Facial Mist, Face Cream, Detoxifying Mud Mask, Exfoliationg Clay Cleanser & The Brightening Face Oil.

    Product Review

    Organic Love

    Starting with the skincare regime-

    Exfoliating Clay Cleanser
    Detox Mud Mask
    Balancing Facial Mist
    Morning Face Cream
    Brightening Face Oil

    There are so many other ways you can use these products!

    Organic Ingredients- Highlighting my favorites

    Face & Eye Oil is extremely hydrating with brightening properties. Using a good facial oil on acne-prone skin can be life-changing. The reason for this is.. a pimple is basically dead skin cells and oils (sebum) mixed together that clogs pores. I experienced absolutely no breakouts! 

    Ask yourself this, does oil and water (water-based product) mix? No it does not. Do oil and oil mix? Yes, it does. So, by applying the facial oil will ensure that the oil mixes into the clogged pores withdrawing and cleaning out impurities.

    Why we love it

    Jojoba oil mimics skin sebum tricking it not to overproduce oil. This balances oil production in the skin.
    Treats dryness, skin inflammation, dark spots, and scars.
    Anti-Aging, Anti-Bacterial Anti-Wrinkle
    Softens and smooths the skin.
    Helps inhibit melanin pigmentation.
    Evens out skin tone and texture.
    Skin Brightening properties thanks to citrus oils.
    Anti-Oxidant
    Extremely hydrating

Rich in essential fatty acids, trace elements, vitamin E, and mineral salts, rice bran oil helps moisturize the skin and promotes skin microcirculation. Rice bran oil has healing, restructuring, soothing, cicatrizing, repairing (reduces skin inflammation), and decongesting properties.

    Facial Cream

    Why we love it

    Properties of active Ingredients:

    Clay Mask

    Why we love it

    I was quite nervous trying this Clay mask as I had such a bad experience in the past. But I tried it and I loved it! This formula is super gentle on the skin and truly gives it a deep clean. This combined with the exfoliating mud, in the shower is magic!

    Our Review

    If you are looking for an at-home spa-like skin treatment then Skinfrésh is it. Sensitive skin gals need not worry, as the products are super gentle on your skin with no irritation. I was excited to learn that all these products can be used in different ways. Like using your facial oil as a makeup remover. Or by mixing all the above products, you can create an intense hydrating mask. I think that’s what I like most about this brand. Products that are so versatile! It makes you feel like it’s worth every penny spent. 

    All in all, SUPER impressed by these products and can’t express enough of how spa-like quality the products hold. It’s simply beautiful. xx

  • Skin Functional Oil Based Vitamin C

    Skin Functional Oil Based Vitamin C

    Skin Functional, an affordable South African skincare brand that has come into my life, stolen my heart, and enriched my skin. I introduced you to them almost a year ago and I was so impressed by the performance and results of their serums, that I swapped my personal skin care products and use only the Skin Functional, and let me say, my skin has never looked better. Skin Functional has done it again! A product that I have been wishing for them to introduce to the brand and the time has finally come… Introducing Skin Functional Oil-based Vitamin C.

    Photo by Nicole Coutinho- TLG Blog Skin Functional

    Why the Vitamin C Hype?

    Vitamin C serums are legendary for a reason: They really work. Uneven skin tone, rough texture, fine lines, acne scars, general dullness — you can name just about any common complexion concern and there’s a good chance that vitamin C is a recommended treatment.

    What is Vitamin C?

    As far as your skin is concerned, vitamin C is “a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals,” explains dermatologist Patricia Wexler. “Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells.”
    So, in the same way that consuming antioxidant-rich foods aids your body in fighting off free radicals, topical antioxidants do the same for your skin. Keeping skin cells healthy.

    Why SF’s Vitamin C Formula is special

    Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A Stable & Effective Form of Vitamin C

    It’s a mouthful, I know, but it’s also the absolute best type of vitamin C. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (TA) is stable and lipid-soluble. TA is also less irritating than ascorbic acid, so it’s especially ideal for sensitive skin types. (YAY for us sensitive babies). Because it’s lipid-soluble, TA works well with skin and is able to visibly brighten and reduce the visible signs of aging. TA won’t degrade as quickly as other types of vitamin C. It can last up to 18 months in the bottle, in fact. This stability is crucial if you want to make sure your skincare product can really be effective in the long run.

    Our Views

    SF can do no wrong in my eyes. The Vitamin C Serum has exceeded my expectations. The formula is incredible and fast-absorbing on my skin. The science behind it proves that SF delivers astonishing products for noticeable results!
    Bravo Skin Functional Team- this one is a winner!

  • Defy Grey with John Frieda

    Defy Grey with John Frieda

    It was a hot summer’s night. “M” and I slumped on the couch catching up on our TV series. Feeling the cool breeze coming in from the front door, my long brunette hair glides like silk onto my face obstructing my vision. The laziness has taken full force as I ask “M” to gently stroke my hair away. He leans up close, moves my hair away and continues to glide my locks back. I slowly melt into the couch feeling total relaxation. Suddenly, I feel “M” searching my hair as If he had discovered gold. My heart quickens as I can sense he found something that was not welcomed on my head. I swiftly look up at him and in a calm and gentle voice, he says: “You have grey hair babe”.

    I have always considered myself lucky in the sense that my brother and I inherited “good genes” from my dad. My pops is 75 years old and he looks 60. People almost always say we look younger than we really are and I ain’t complaining about it, but it seems my fountain of youth is running dry. I’m getting older and turning grey.

    DSC1738

    To Colour or Not to Colour…

    Your first visible grey hair is a rite of passage and a gentle reminder that you are getting older, wiser and embracing a new chapter in your life. Like our scars and wrinkles, grey hairs are a symbol of a life well-lived. But of course, even though some may choose to embrace their grey hairs, others defy them. John Frieda premium haircare brand has broadened its line of hair care products to include the latest in hair management – the DEFY GREY Brunette Blending 3-Step System comprised of Shampoo, Conditioner and Blow-Dry Foam.

    Having dark hair brown, almost black hair, these silver strands will stick out like a sore thumb. As of late, my hair has been falling out by the handfuls. I don’t think colouring my hair will make the situation better. So keeping that in mind, I couldn’t be more grateful for this haircare pack landing on my beauty desk to trial.

    Defy the Grey with John Frieda…

    DEFY GREY Brunette Blending Shampoo gradually infuses brunette tones to blend away first greys. Designed to be used daily, the Shampoo contains unique direct dye technology, which deposits an instant layer of colour onto the hair strand. These camouflage grey strands without that unnatural opacity that you get from permanent dyes.

    DSC1742

    DEFY GREY Brunette Blending Conditioner designed to be used alongside the daily shampoo. Defy Grey Brunette Blending Conditioner works on the surface of the hair to add depth and richness to the grey strands. This results in a veil of colour which blends seamlessly with a wide range of natural brunette tones.

    DSC1743

    DEFY GREY Brunette Blending Blow Dry Foam colour depositing foam helps blend away grey hairs to reveal the beautiful brunette colour. The foam offers a longer-term result by creating a durable colour gradually inside the grey hair strand. The colourants in the foam create a natural brunette colour from within the hair strand itself.

    DSC1744

    Why we love it…

    This range is the most genuine way to embrace your changing hair colour and allow you full control over your natural look. As the range seems best suited to less grey hair, where strands are more isolated and peppered rather than patchy. It definitely works and allows you to embrace those silver strands and I think I’m going to do just that. For someone who is hesitant to start dying my whole head of hair, I think this is the perfect solution.

    DSC1747

    Where to Buy it…

    The DEFY GREY Brunette Blending 3-Step System range is available exclusively at Clicks stores nationwide.

    Here’s to embracing the grey! Read more here about JF Haircare range

  • Mini K-Beauty Haul!

    Mini K-Beauty Haul!

    Let me just start by saying I’m  a sucker for all things cute and gimicy.
    Cute packaging? “Sold!” If it has the word ‘Mini’ in it-  “Put ’em in my basket please!”

    Yip, Im that person!

    So did my need for all things cutesey cloud my judgment on my recent beauty haul? Maybe a little.. But I dont care because I have been itching to get my hands on some K-Beauty products and that I did!

    Image result for no ragrets meme

    Korean Beauty is slowly becoming the ultimate regime for soft, glowing skin. K- beauty routines focus on perfecting the appearance of your skin, to have you looking healthy and glowy, therefore, makeup application is kept light and minimal.

    IMG 20180910 214305
    K-Beauty Mini Haul

    Korean skincare and makeup products are well beyond most western technology and the quality and innovation of Korean products supersedes many popular western brands we use today. A proper K-beauty routine takes time and commitment but rest assured your skin will see the results.

    My mini K-beauty haul consisted of the TonyMoly and the too cool for school brands. The packaging is just adorable and as for the products, pretty damn impressed to say the least! So here is what I bought:

    TonyMoly Pocket Bunny Mist

    IMG 20180907 181505
    Bunny Gloss Bar – ( Retails for R100 ) Pocket Bunny Mist (Retails for R180)  from Luxe Loft

    This packaging is just!! (Insert heart-eyed emoji) How could you not want to own these adorable little bunnies, especially the sad faced one!? The Pocket Bunny Hydrating Mist is amazing. It is infused with raspberry, strawberry, peach, and baobab tree extracts for long lasting hydration. Created with the celtic waters from the French park Vosges du Nord, your skin will receive ample nutrition though the included minerals.

    It’s beautiful fragrance adds to the delicate mist when sprayed on your face. I like to apply it after I’ve cleansed my face in the morning and sometimes in the evening for a little extra hydration. My skin is feeling so dry lately and this is the perfect little added hydration that it needs. It’s also great to use throughtout the day just to give your skin a little wake me up leaving it dewy and fresh!

    The Petite Bunny Gloss Bar

    IMG 20180910 213813 e1536665374969
    Look at that Shimmer!

    The Petite Bunny Gloss Bar is the cutest little gloss you could possibly own!  It leaves a delicate gloss on your lips. It’s not an overpowering gloss at all which is suitable to use on a daily basis and it leaves your lips feeling super soft too!

    Too Cool For School Jelly Blusher:

    IMG 20180907 181425
    too cool for school Jelly Blusher- Cherry Squeeze (Retails for R150) from Luxe Loft

    Another brand that caught my eye was the too cool for school k- beauty brand. I added to my cart, this cute little blusher tin because I was intrigued on seeing what a jelly blusher looked and felt like. Upon recieving it, my first reaction was, “OMG I paid R150 bucks for this little itsy bitsy tin!” No guys, it’s small…

    The images on the website make it look bigger then what it actually is, but I quickly got over my little panic attack when I slid opened the tin to find the softest most squishiest cream like blusher I had ever seen and felt! The texture is incredible, the pigment is glorious and the colour on the skin is perfection! Well worth the ka-ching!

    Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch

    I had seen these lip patches all over Hollywood A-listers lips and I knew I needed to try it for myself.  The oversized gummy looking patch is a once-only gel lip mask and promises to make lips smooth, soft and kissable.

    IMG 20180910 213909
    Kiss Kiss Lip Patch (Retails for R50)

    Once out of the pack it was a little hard to manoeuvre into place as it’s quite a slippery little sucker. As indicated, the lip patch should be left on for 20 minures before removing, leaving your lips soft and moisturised.

    Well, it hydarted my lips in the slightest but that was pretty much it.. No plumpiness or softness what-so-ever. My lips are super dry, so maybe it’s not ideal for the super dry lips, but it was fun to take photos with!

    Apart from the lip patch, I have been loving the products so far!
