Rain Africa Biologie Hand & Body Lotion

Ok so no I have not been lucky enough to receive one of those large perfectly packaged packages from Rain Africa yet, but when I opened my gift bag at the #CPTBloggerMeetUP I was so excited to see one of their full sized products inside. I had to restrain myself from opening it then and there!!

A little bit about the company: Rain Africa is a South African company situated in Swellendam but also have affiliates in New York. They specialize in creating handmade bath and body products as well as hand crafted home ware using only natural ingredients with African origins. Rain products are responsibly handmade with love and care for all their customers, craftspeople and the environment.

About the Biologie Range: Biologie products are eco-ethical, biodegradable, environment-friendly products designed to care for hair, feet and hands. This range is multi-tasking designed to help protect the skin from sun damage and delays ageing, revives skin tone, smooths skin texture and restores vital moisture to tired skin and hair. Some of the key ingredients include organic oils from indigenous African plants high in vitamins and omega fatty acids to nourish and protect the skin against free radical damage.

Biologie Hand & Body Lotion Review:  As a hand lotion I absolutely love this product, it has a really hydrating, light weight texture that is soaked into the skin really quickly. It doesn't leave any greasy residue behind and moisturizes the skin from the first application. After I do dishes or clean I am normally left with really dry hands and I have been using this cream almost everyday and it takes the dryness away immediately and doesn't come back once the lotion has worn off. The only thing that I would fault this lotion on is the scent, it has a really strong herbal scent that reminds me of a chemist. The scent is so strong that I am now not allowed to use it around my husband, but the upside is once you rub it in the scent disappears really quickly so what he doesn't know wont hurt him hahaha I also love that it comes in a pump bottle because when I am busy it makes it easy to pump and carry on with what I am doing.

You can pick this lotion up for R99,00 at any one of their stores at Cavendish, Somerset Mall, V&A Waterfront or Willowbridge or you can shop online.

Lush the Comforter bubble bar

If it looks like candy and smells like candy then yes chances are it comes from the LUSH store! I've said it before but I never quite got the whole Lush craze until I walked into their store. Now I want to own everything from the Lush store! My husband and I received a few Lush products for Christmas and now that the weather is finally cooling down we are able to use it.

What Lush has to say: When life is getting you down, crumble The Comforter under hot, running water for passionately purple water and creamy, comforting bubbles. This massive slice of vibrant fruitiness gives you the feeling of being enveloped in a warm hug and gently consoled by the friendly fruity aroma of a blackcurrant candy. It was created to bring a real sense of comfort to people, just like a real comforter would. Snuggle in and stay undercover until you're ready to face the world once again. Even better, each bar creates two baths of fruity comfort.

The comforter is one of the most highly recommended products from their regular range so naturally this was one of the first products I purchased. Its like a compressed bar of candy floss because once you start crumbling it under running water the bubbles and scent that starts forming is like a candy floss machine swirling around in your bath. The one thing I hate about normal bubble baths is that the minute the bubbles form they already start dying and disappearing and the minute any soap is added its like a nuclear bomb that just eradicates any bubbles in its path. With the Lush bar its totally different, the bubbles form the most moisturizing foam I have ever felt even rubbing this on your skin is the most moisturizing feeling. And the fact that my water was PINK and smelt like I was covered in candy milk was not that bad either! One of the things that I love the most is that once you get in the water it feels like you are covered in moisturizer and you can immediately feel the soft feeling when you rub your skin. Adding more water doesn't mean your diluting the water it just forms the foam all over again with every bit of water added.

The Comforter goes for R54.50 for a 200g bar, and Lush claims you can get two baths out of this. This might sounds a bit steep but you can stretch it to at least 5 - 6 baths out of it because it is quite a big bar. This is one of my favourite bubble bars from Lush and is definitely a must try.

Nails of The Day - Sinful Snow Me White

I've never been really big on the whole white nail polish thing some how it reminds me of tippex but lately I have been rocking it allot from jelly to solid whites. I find that white nails looks so sleek and clean and if there's one way you want your skin to look tanner rock some white nails! I have Sinful Colors in Snow me white on here, this is a solid white and only needs two coats to get a really nice eye popping white.
