We say:
This quick yet effective, 60-second sheet mask is designed to be used in the morning to reduce puffiness. It contains apple fruit acid, peppermint extract, cucumber extract, tea tree leaf oil. Grapefruit leaf oil, collagen, hyaluronic acid, orange oil, avocado extract and honey.
You say:
“This mask is used for the morning in place of washing and moisturising! Amazing! I have been using this mask every morning during the week. This will definitely form part of my AM routine going forward now. I always dread washing my face and moisturising in the morning. With this face mask it saves so much time and wakes me up instantly! I read somewhere it is meant to be “breakfast for your face!” – bh member jlsta
L’OCCITANE Immortelle Divine Cleansing Balm
We say:
Looking for a cleansing balm that effectively removes impurities, pollution and all traces of makeup? Then this one’s for you! It transforms into an oil on contact with the warmth of the skin, and melts onto the face. The formula is enriched with immortelle essential oil, anti-ageing properties as well as Vitamin E, leaving your skin looking smooth, clear and luminous.
You say:
“I find that the longer you use this balm the better the results are. It’s claims of brightening the skin, making the skin visibly smoother and more even-toned are certainly accomplished. In the mornings when waking up my skin was progressively more luminous, bright and deeply nourished. The more I used this balm the more I love it! It is quite expensive for a cleansing balm. But oh boy, it is worth every single cent. Having used every night now for just under a month I have only just scraped past the top of the container! I still have a lot of product left to go; I imagine this will last at least another 3+ months, easily. This is very luxe cleansing balm, definitely worth the splurge!” – bh member Amazeballs16
Dermal Therapy™ Anti-Ageing Hand Balm
We say:
Formulated to help hands look visibly younger, this nourishing hand balm aids in improving skin elasticity, as well as lighten age spots and pigmentation. Using a unique plant based ingredient, plantago lanceolata leaf extract, the balm is designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as moisturise and protect the skin from the sun with added SPF 15.
You say:
“First of all, I love the smell. It’s a light smell, kind of like sunscreen but more subtle. I also love the texture, it sinks in relatively quickly and spreads in nice and hassle-free. It does remain a little tacky for a few minutes, but nothing uncomfortable. And of course, I love the fact it has an SPF factor! Such a genius idea that more hand creams should get behind. Would highly recommend!” – bh member Viki J
Eye of Horus Serpentine Goddess Eye Pencils
We say:
The Eye of Horus Goddess Pencils are formulated with beeswax, organic moringa oil and carnauba and candelilla waxes, which leaves the pencils with a creamy, yet still waterproof and long-wearing formula. It features a smudge tip which makes it easy to blend colour for a smudge effect. The eyeliner is paraben-free, non-irritating and suitable for sensitive eye areas.
You say:
“I was lucky enough to trial this product in the BH discovery bag. I got it in the shade dark olive which has beautiful dark olive pigments with just the right amount of very subtle gold & green shimmer to it. I applied this beautiful liner on my lash line and I instantly noticed how creamy the formula is. The colour payoff is just Ah-mazing! It has rich velvety metallic formula which makes the application very easy. The pencil just glides on effortlessly without tugging the eye area and stays on all day without smudging at all. I love how on application this enhances the look of my eyes.” – bh member Sweety7
I tried a Saborino sheet mask for the first time this morning. They are so refreshing!
