    Verso Skincare Review

    October 17, 2013 in Beauty, Reviews, Skincare

    I am very rarely blown away by anti-aging products as most contain so little of the active ingredient to make an actual difference. Yes they can assist with hydration, fine lines and boost ones glow but turn back time… well I can only pick out about 5% of all the anti-aging products on the market that truly make a difference.

    When the Verso range arrived I was intrigued, the look is very clean and sleek and the range has been featured in Vogue. So can this stylish range do any heavy lifting? I have been using the full range numbers 1-5 every day for the past three weeks and one word “wow”!

    Every single product in the range is top quality and does an amazing job. My skin feels soft, doesn’t feel tight or dry and any fine lines have vanished. Sounds impressive and it is, if after only three weeks of use these are the results then I can safely say long-term use will change your skin dramatically. Verso in Latin means reverse, and so it certainly does.

    1 is the Foaming Cleanser and after first use I was already considering swapping out my usual cleanser for this one permanently. It takes off all make-up but is gentle on one’s skin and when rinsed off there wasn’t any oily residue or tightness.

    2 is the Day Cream and I loved how balanced my skin felt after using this, it is sufficiently hydrating without feeling too heavy. The day cream contains Retinol 8 as well as an SPF of 15.

    3 is the Night Cream which is slightly richer than the day but still isn’t too heavy. Waking up without any oiliness was wonderful as is the case with a number of other night creams.

    4 is the Super Facial Serum which is healing and strengthening and also contains Retinol 8, in fact every product apart from the cleanser contains Retinol 8 . Retinol 8 is a complex of a vitamin A derivative and polyphenol extracts which is eight times more powerful than traditional retinol, gentle on the skin and safe to use in sunlight. It is known among beauty bloggers and editors to be the most effective form of vitamin A and the results back this up. Retinol 8 is clinically proven to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce hyper-pigmented spots, and supply the skin with more energy and oxygen which results in finer more radiant looking skin.

    5 is the Super Eye Serum and my favourite of the lot. I have fine lines around my eyes that have only recently appeared but bug me tremendously and after using a tiny amount of this serum for the past three weeks they are already far less visible. Like I said this range is Impressive with a capital I! Verso states the positive effects are typically visible after 6-8 weeks of use so I am excited to see the further effects by then.

    Another plus is that the Verso range contains no dyes, no parabens, no mineral oil and no other harmful substances.
    This review may sound like an advertorial but I am genuinely head over heels in love with this range and the effects I have seen so far. The range is exclusive to the Rubybox store and retails from R599.95 for the Foaming Cleanser to R1499,95 for the Facial Super Serum. This is actually extremely well priced considering you are getting 8 times the strength of the active ingredient compared to many other similar priced brands.

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.

    After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m trul After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m truly hoping for a few more sunny pool days! Mostly because Rocco wanted to spend the majority of last night outside in the rain 🤣🙈

He lives for water. So “splashy pool days” is heaven for him. Even if I’m making him pose… “Look at Daddy for the camera! “

He LOVES water though to the extreme. Even though he is a rescue, every animal behaviourist etc has confirmed he is most likely an Irish Setter.

He can’t swim, due to his build. Large upper thick coat and slender but furry legs. Ideal for trudging through bogs/wetlands in Ireland and the shallow parts of a pool 🤣. I have to be on full mummy duty though. As when he spots water he will go in and follow me. 

Anyone else have an Irish Setter? 

@oneroccoatatime is such a bundle of affection. Check out his Instagram for a Reel of him in his own Kiddies Pool 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
