St Ives - Blemish Control - Green Tea Scrub [#Product Review]








The St Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub is the next of the St Ives product that I've seen and hear people rave about.

I am a green tea lover and I like to try out products which are green tea based. 

I decided to try out this product and write a review about it. So, here I am:

Product Brand: St Ives

Ingredients: Water, Walnut, Corn, Green Tea, Salicylic Acid (1.0%) amongst others.

Net Weight: 133ml

Product Claims: Gently clears breakouts and calms redness

Purpose: Acne Treatment

Benefits: 
  • ·         100% Natural Exfoliants
  •       Paraben Free
  • ·         Oil Free
  • ·         2% Salicylic Acid
  • ·         Dermatologist tested
  • ·         Hypoallergenic

How to use?

Use a pea size amount and gently rub in on your wet face.

Rinse well. Use only 2 to 3 times a week.




I loved this product instantly. The scrub was not as rough as the apricot scrub but it did the same job. I felt my face to be very clean and less oily upon the first use of this product. It cleans pores thoroughly.

However, the Green Tea Scrub seems to be harsher on the skin. On constant use, I realised that it was quite harsh and I would sometimes get some dry patches of skin on my face.

If you have personally tried this product, do comment in the comment section below.. 

I would love to know more of your reactions.

Quelques Notes D'amour - Eau de Parfum 30ml - Yves Rocher [#Product Review]



The Eau de Parfum, Quelques Notes D’amour by Yves Rocher came out in September 2014. 

It is known that this perfume has been launched to portray Euphoria* and the feeling of falling in love.

The scent of this perfume opens with accords of bergamot and red pepper. The heart includes Damascus Rose, Guaiac Wood and Patchouli.

Many have voted this perfume to be long lasting and I share the same view. 

I found that the perfume stayed on for the whole day. 

The first time I wore this perfume I had many people tell me that my new perfume smells great. When I told them that this perfume is at an very affordable price they asked me to buy one for them.

I ended up buying 7 of these perfumes for my friends and they all loved it.

If you have tried this perfume, please let me know what you think in the comment bar below.

Restaurant Reve d'R - Petit Raffray Mauritius - [#Review]

I had been on my first official date at Restaurant Reve d'R. 

I instantly felt in love with the place.

Recently we went there to Celebrate our 5 Year of Togetherness and we managed to capture some pictures of the food and surroundings:

Upon reaching the restaurant we opted for a pool side table like below:

                            

We were then shown the catch of the day to keep our options open


On that day, the catch of the day was a scary looking lobster but I was fascinated by the looks of it.

We were later served with mineral water and our choice of drinks, which in our case was the Martini Blanco


While waiting for our food we had some bread and butter.



Given that our choice of food needed more time to be cooked. We were served with an "Amuse-Bouche" which was very delicious.

Finally the wait was over and we were served with our favourite starter : 
Gratin Fruit de Mer.


The gratin is served in a shell which is served on the plate. Most of the time the shell is very hot, so I would presume that the gratin is cooked in the shell. It has always fascinated me and I really wish to cook something in a shell some day.



We had ordered Seafood Lasagna for the main course and it was the first time that we were trying that menu.


The presentation of the food was funny but the food was succulent. 

No complaints this is the best lasagna I have ever tasted.


We ended our meal with our favourite dessert: Moelleux au chocolat. 

This is the best Moelleux I have ever eaten.

Le p'tit café Ebene - [#Review]

I discovered this little place during my working days in Ebene...

https://www.facebook.com/pg/Le-ptit-caf%C3%A9-ebene-224216374429297/reviews/

It is situated next to the terrace in the top Food Court..

The first time I went there I tried the Tagliatelle with Mushroom & Chicken in Creamy Sauce... I was very surprised with the quantity and taste...




Totally satisfied with the food.

The second time I went, I had Spagetti with Mushrooms in Creamy White Sauce... 


It was the same pinch... Very satisfied with the food.

I can't wait to try the next of many more...


The workers are very welcoming and very kind... Hence, that was a bonus...

Thanks for reading!
