Mecca Maxima Beauty Loop Spring 2015: Level One

Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face Superscreen SPF 50+
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE? This sunscreen is just downright amazing. It is by far the most lightweight sunscreen I have ever; tried to the point that it feels more like a light moisturiser instead of a sunscreen. It doesn’t even smell like sunscreen and instead has a really delicate fresh scent. This SPF 50+ protects from both UVA and UVB rays and goes PERFECTLY under makeup. The rate that this absorbed into my skin was also astonishing; it was like I hadn’t even applied it. If you’re one of those people that don’t wear sunscreen daily because you don’t like the heaviness, greasiness or the way it leaves your makeup looking, then I’m urging you to pick up a tube of this and try it for yourself. I thing it might be my favourite product of 2015! I’m beyond excited to pick up a big tube of this for the summer. Cruelty Free.

Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Eye Treatment
I’ve received a few samples of this Clinique product before and like all the other times, this has again done nothing. While it is lightweight it doesn’t feel hydrating and it doesn’t do anything that couldn’t be achieved by using your normal moisturiser in its place. This is one I would definitely skip if you were looking to splurge on an eye treatment. TESTS ON ANIMALS.

Josie Maran Cosmetics Pure Argan Milk Treatment
I was so excited to receive another Josie Maran product in my beauty loop because the last product sample I received was the Argan Oil SPF 47+ Daily Moisturiser and it was seriously amazing. So my hopes were high but they were quickly dashed. This is meant to be used as a daily serum after cleansing and before moisturizing to nourish and hydrate the skin for a ‘luminous lit-from-within glow’. The product is very runny and once applied to my face it just felt greasy instead of hydrated. I would pass on this one only because I’m probably not the best skin type to use this as it would be better suited to someone with dry to very dry skin.Though it did work really nicely with my moisturiser. Cruelty Free.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil
I’ve heard all the rave reviews of Bumble and Bumble products but never got around to trying them until now! Ah the wonder of sample boxes! This is a hair serum that you brush through damp hair to add shine, reduce frizz, tame fly aways and protect from heat styling and UV rays. I sprayed and brushed through a generous amount of products through my hair and let it air-dry. My hair felt so glossy and nice but I loved this product because it protects your hair against the harsh sunrays and it also smells amazing. What I don’t love about this product though is the fact that Bumble and Bumble test on animals, so it is one product I will most definitely be not repurchasing. But it has now motivated me to find a similar cruelty free product to protect my hair from UV rays. NOT CRUELTY FREE.
