OPENING PR FROM INGRAMS | NEW SENSITIVE, ROOIBOS AND HEMP RANGE
Soweto, South Africa
Hope your day is going well. The word is out Ingrams has a new range in town,
todays post is all about unboxing their pr drop and also sharing some
of the product claims with you.
What is Ingrams saying about the product?
Not everyone’s skin is the same, the one-size-fits-all solution is a thing of the past. Whether your
skin is dry, normal or sensitive, everyone needs skincare products suited to the skin they’re in. That’s
where Ingram’s comes in. They have extended their range of functional creams and lotions to
include three new innovative, practical, affordable and on-trend variants – Sensitive, Hemp and
Rooibos.
The functions:
Ingram’s Sensitive cream and lotion:
:are enriched with moisturising glycerine and cetomacrogol.
Sensitive skin is more common than most people think, in fact over 40% of the world’s population
report that they have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is prone to itching and irritation and needs gentle
care. People with sensitive skin, may have strong reactions to chemicals, dyes and fragrances
present in products that come into contact with the skin. Ingram’s Sensitive cream and lotion are
fragrance- and colourant-free, while soothing and offering immediate relief and moisturisation to
irritated, sensitive skin. The cream and lotion are non-greasy, fast absorbing and leaves skin calmed
and moisturised for 48 hours.
Ingram’s Hemp Oil cream and lotion:
have intensively nourishing formulations, enriched with a
blend of omega 3 and 6 and organic hemp seed oil, which is extracted from organic hemp seeds
through cold pressing and filtration. This unique formulation nourishes, soothes and repairs dry to
very dry skin while instantly moisturising it. The cream and lotion are non-greasy, fast absorbing and
leaves skin deeply moisturised for 72 hours.
Ingram’s Rooibos cream and lotion:
have rich, restoring formulations, enriched with a special blend
of locally sourced rooibos extract, antioxidants and vitamin E. Rooibos contains unique antioxidants,
enzymes and compounds that improve elasticity and help skin look youthful and radiant. The fast
absorbing, non-greasy cream is formulated to deliver 72-hour moisturisation while the fast
absorbing, non-greasy lotion provides 48-hour moisturisation.
Ingram’s brand manager, Venus-Gene Jackson says "Ingram’s aims to evolve with their customers and with the latesttrends. “We want to ensure that Ingram’s continues to bring all South Africans natural, nourishingskincare that is both affordable and innovative.”
The three new variants complement the existing
Camphor, Moisture Plus, Tissue Oil and Men’sranges.
Final words:
I've seen an american vlogger using a product similar to the Ingrams Hemp lotion,
but it was ridiculously expensive
and let's not get started with the shipping headache. The Ingram’s Hemp Lotion is one
that I'm gravitating towards because it smells great, feels good to the skin and it is cost friendly
my baby will then use the Sensitive Lotion because of it's fragrance free benefit
and the Rooibos Cream will be for the family (p.s.we are big on rooibos).
I will continue using the products and will share with you my
final thoughts on a Favs & Not post coming soon.

Review | CLARINS Everlasting Foundation SPF15
I'm welcoming the Clarins brand on the blog today as I will be reviewing their Everlasting Foundation SPF15 30ml R415. This is long overdue as this is my second bottle, the first one I got as part of the test review for Beauty South Africa back in November 2015. I always wanted to review it but I wanted to test the foundation in Winter as I have dry skin. SO if you love full coverage make-up like me this one is for you.
I usually don't spend more than R300 bucks on foundations but this foundation made me splurge big time. The quality of this foundation has got me good, I have been wearing the Clarins Foundation on weekends only because it is that good.
Here are some reason why the Clarins Everlasting Foundation is great for me.
The packaging! have a look at the above pictures, really need I say more?
It comes in a frosted glass with a "gold' top.
It comes with a pump, and which allows for great control so that not much product is wasted.
I love the packaging from box throughout, I'm simply impressed.
The coverage is full, if you are looking for a full coverage foundation this one is for you.
I don't color correct/conceal when using this foundation guys. I only hightlight and contour (should needs be). When I say full coverage don't assume ooh I will look like I have a mask, no no no this foundation is light on the skin.
The finish of the product is semi-matte which is why I wanted to wait till winter to review the foundation, so that I can test the matte finish on my skin as other foundations tend to get ashy and cakey this time of the year. Guess what the Clarins Everlasting Foundation holdups, no cakeyness or ashyness here.
You know when you wear other foundations in the morning and by mid-day you ask yourself where did that foundation go?Well this one does not do that, the foundation has great staying power Clarins claims that the foundation lasts up to 18 hours though (but I will not be testing that) the 8-9 hours are just fine with me.
This is the first high-end foundation I get to review on the blog, and I must say I'm impressed with it and it is convincing me to buy more high end foundations to test and try out. So I will say if you are looking for a high-end product with a medium/full coverage, please do grab this one.
The foundation overall has set the bar really high for me.

Pictures of what the Everlasting Foundation looks like on my skin to follow on posts to come.

Steps for Taking Care of Your Nails this Winter
1. Keep your nails moisturized.
Hand moisturizes usually don't last long in winter and the best way I keep my nails moisturized is I use Vaseline; it is cost effective and gets the job done really quick. (On Wednesday I will be sharing other ways one can use Vaseline).
2. Style with care.
This year I tried keeping my nails long but last week they gave in (because Winter), and they began cracking and all. It is okay when they do that because it is winter and nails do that. My best tip is to keep them short.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals.
I try to stay always from nail polishes in winter and only apply one in weekends, as the acetone used when removing the nail polish can thin out ones nails, better yet use a nail polish remover without acetone.
