HI EVERYONE!! I'll admit I've been quite excited to post my first haul, I'll just get straight into it...
I've actually not even used this, I've purchased it for someone I know struggling with acne and after reading some reviews and watching a few youtube clips as well as seeing it ranked the same number on the iHerb site as the Black African Soap I decided to buy it. There is a larger tube of 227g available on the site for £2.59 but this 57g one is perfect for sampling first. Click for Onika Beauty's full review.
This is a repurchase because omggg I love how small and sand like the scrub is, It gives a massaging effect and I felt the difference from the first use. My face was just deeply cleansed and felt fresher then ever. I used to have to cleanse and tone every night to avoid breakouts but ever since I started using this there really isn't any need for the hassle, every. single. night! Yey! Also, this to me, smells like green tea.
I had seen the papaya enzyme mask from Alba Botanica (also available on iHerb for £7.50) before, since the majority of face masks I've tried cause severe facial swelling, I thought it's best not to risk it and so bought this to try out from the range. It's oil free so is not greasy at all. I'm not a huge fan of lavender scented things but this is so subtle I actually liked it. It moisturised well and left a smooth matte finish. Unfortunately with my super sensitive skin, I did have a reaction once I went out with it a few times so I've passed it onto to my sister who likes it but isn't fond of the smell.
My sister has suffered from acne for about 11 years now. I'm not sure how many things she's tried but after seeing the lovely Malak mention this a few times on her blog for acne prone skin it ended up in my basket. Within the first week of using this soap morning and night her spots were practically all gone. It's magical I tell you. It can also be used on body acne, perfect for anyone who isn't into all that chemical stuff. I bought two more just to stock up. You can also purchase African Black Soap here.
I've only recently got into highlighting so I've started with really basic products. One thing was missing, a fan brush, so here it is. I've only used this once so far and I really like it. I think we'll remain on good terms unless it sheds after I wash it but I don't see that happening so we're good.
iHerb also sent me a company nail file with my order, a pleasant surprise as I had been looking for one of my 23939 that I've lost around the house and couldn't find one when I needed it.
I highly recommend reading customer reviews on the products before purchasing, they're super honest and very helpful.
P.s don't forget to use the discount code HPK047 to get $5 off your first order or $10 if you spend over $40 - you might be charged customs in that case although I'm not entirely sure, I usually try and stay under £18 to avoid that.
