Review: L'Occitane June Beauty Box



Good afternoon lovelies,
 Hope you are enjoying Ramadhan & Gergean too. Hehe. ;*


So as you know L'Occitane has thankfully sent me my FIRST BEAUTY BOX last month. It came in a very nice blue box. I wanted to try and test the products for awhile before writing my experience to give it a fair call. 
So just to tell you more about me, I usually use my mom's skin care products - if I love them I'd use hers or maybe buy my own. So with l'occitane, which is my mom's FAAAVOURITE BRAND, we are always testing out perfumes, skin products or the mini hand creame tubes. 

So with June Beauty Box, it was the first time to own their products independently hehe. I get to review them first before mama does. 

June was all about shea butter. In the box was four products which were, Lavender with shea butter soap(the box smelled lavender all the way), shea butter hand cream, ultra rich body scrub - rich in shea butter & pure shea butter. 


Let me start with the hand cream: I have tried many before but I love this because of its soft fragrance and the way it lets your hand feel soft and moisturized. 

The  scrub is OMG! It leaves the skin really soft like a baby's skin - SERIOUSLY! Like you are having a new layer of skin or really you have your baby skin remaining. MUST MUST MUST TRY

After the body scrub I love to put on some pure shea butter. You can use it in any dry area in your body, even your hair. Try it on your elbow and feel the magic. The moment you open the container you'll feel it is very heavy, superizingly it is not heavy at all. Instead it is enriching & light. 
 
Last but not least, with the lavender with shea butter soap, the smell is so soothing & relaxing. Bath in it before bed time and have a good night sleep. It is proven that lavender is a very useful is making us relax and make us in a better mood. 


Bottom line, the shea butter line is MUST TRY if you wanna have a smoother skin and to keep it young and moisturized. 

Hope you loved my review, 
See you soon,
M.

BONJOOM: THE INTERVIEW.






Hello from London. 
Hope you are enjoying you summer as much as I am. 


So, I know, I know I have kept you waiting for this interview. Sorry but you know life and its busy days. ;(

Any way, here is comes my interview with the founder of BONJOOM. 
Let me first tell you that since I began posting and writing in my blog. She has been a great supporter & helper. You know those little thing people do that you reaaally appreciate a lot. Small in action big in heart to me. I really appreciate her kindness and presence in my life.  Thanks Sharifa. ❤

So let me tell you first I have been editing this interview for weeks now. A new idea with each edit. And I have finally decided to let it be that way. Basically "A one word question Interview" which revolves around these 4 words:
WHO?  What?  Why?  Where? 
I have met her for the interview and she was so kind and gentle. I have really enjoyed my time. You know when they say time flys when you are enjoying your time, that was what I felt. A racing & faster than a Ferari running time with her. 

Let me start then. 

WHO?
She is Sharifa Al-Asousi, one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Maybe because she is a sugar box bakery. I bet this is not the only reason hehe. 
She is so ambitious mashlllah. And will be fulfilling whatever she desires from her dreams. Turning them to reality. - And I wish her all the best. <3


WHAT?
BONJOOM, BONJOOM, BONJOOM. Wonder no more you now get to know what it is. She calls it her place where she can be creative and turn her ideas, which are creative and modern, to reality and touchable things. Basically it is not what your normal "IN".  Meaning it might be a bags or a dress depending on the year, season &basically her ideas. Enshallah a few years from now, you will be having those BONJOOM line which might range from bags to maybe one day space bags or school lone. Hehe. That is what I loved the most about it and found it interesting, that it has a major factor of surprise you will keep wondering and asking "What is next?". Unlimited ideas inspired by everything around us in planet earth. So can probably guess the number of stuff she could apply to reality. Personally, I will be anticipating it every season to look for whet next, new & beautiful. 

 WHY? 
From our more than one hour talk, I will be answering this question summarizing what has she said. The idea is simple came out of nowhere, and developed by the love of her supporters. Which I find cute. Seriously, for me I really appreciate such delicate action if it was for me to say. 


WHEN?
She has set the date to July, 7th. 


My last words in this post would be a sincere wish of luck to Sharifa, wishing her all the luck in this world. And for her to keep doing what she loves and find those unlimited ideas in the world to tranzilate into actions amd tbing. BIG LOVE TO YOU, SHARIFA. <3


HUGS & KISSES,
M
