Bellabaci SOULFOOD for mind, body and spirit

by Melain May 18, 2020

Bellabaci the leaders in modernised cupping therapy recently launched their Soulfood range and it’s just delicious!

The Souldfood range consists of 5 beautifully formulated aromatherapeutic essential oil crèmes designed to target specific concerns and address daily stresses to balance mind, body and spirit.

It is 100% vegan, paraben-free and animal cruelty free (win!):

The range at a glance:

Quench:

Formulated for dry skin boosted with Rosehip Oil, Frankincence, Neroli and Palmarosa, to hydrate, uplift and restore.

Firm-A-Cell:

An aromatherapy slimming crème boosted with Marula Oil, Juniper Berry and Sweet Orange. All naturally firming to target cellulite.

Energize-Me:

Enriched with Macadamia Oil, Black Pepper , Ginger and Lemongrass with energising properties to uplift mind, body and soul.

Hurt-Less:

Comforting crème made with Arnica Oil, Exotic Verbena, Sweet Majoram and Thyme to comfort tired/achy muscles.

Inner-Peace:

Relaxing aromatherapy crème enhanced with Hemp Oil, Atlas, Jasmin and Neroli to nourish skin and soothe emotions.

My thoughts:

I was sent a full size (180ml) tub of the Quench along with the starter kit, consisting of 5, 50ml mini’s of each to try.

I have been using the Quench as part of my night time after shower routine for over a month and I am in love. It smells so good and leaves my skin feeling soft and silky smooth. It absorbs really well without leaving a greasy film.

I’ve enjoyed them all but Quench and the Energise-Me are my favorites, both containing Neroli and smell divine!

Cost:

A 180ml tub costs R790.00 and if you’re not yet ready to commit to a full-size tub, you can buy the starter kit for R499.00 and give them all a try, it’s also great as a gift for a loved one, needing a little pampering.

You can purchase yours here.

Ponds Age Miracle Double Action Serum – Review

by Melain September 16, 2019

Ponds, a brand most of us are familiar with, one we’ve grown up with, having memory of at least one product on our, mother’s, aunts and other women in our lives side tables. It’s a brand that’s been around forever and is a well-known and loved drug store skincare range.

Considering the above it’s crazy that I have never actually used any of their products, other than their recently launched face masks, which FYI, I love!

The Vampire Facial/AKA Dermapen with PRP

by Melain August 6, 2018

I have been doing Dermapen treatments for about 2 years now, having had my first treatment with Dr. Wade back in August 2016 and I can honestly say it is one of my most favorite treatments. I absolutely love the results.

But as it’s gradually become more and more popular there seems to be quite a lot of confusion about Dermapen and the vampire facial, so I decided to try out the “vampire facial” and do a post outlining the differences based on my own experience and understanding. Interested?… Read on and watch my experience.

Pillow talk – Get your best beauty sleep

by Melain May 10, 2018

Bedhead and wrinkles got you down? Not so keen on sharing that “I woke up like this selfie”? Your pillowcase (if not satin) is part of the problem. It’s time to toss out the cotton guy and replace him with the latter. Wanna know why? Keep reading…
