New Year’s resolutions…do you do them? Do you stick with it? I don’t (well, I usually have ideas but I never keep to them for long). So I thought, let’s rather set some goals for 2019 (Isn’t that the same as a resolution? Am I just trying to trick my brain? Maybe…). Beauty goals: Improve… Continue reading Goals Goals Goals
I see items I would like to try out all the time, whether new or old. So I thought I’d put together a short list of some of them and call it a Christmas wish list!
I am a subscriber to the US service called Boxycharm. It’s a beauty subscription service where you get a box of cosmetic items every month for $21 (excluding shipping because we in South Africa use a freight forwarding service to get it here). Each month the box contained 4-5 full size items and feature major… Continue reading Boxyluxe (the upgraded Boxycharm)
At the Dischem Beauty Fair I recently purchased the (newly available in SA) L.A Girl PRO.matte foundation. I’ve been waiting for this foundation to be released here since I first heard of it! I have oily (recently somewhat combination) skin and if this works like it’s been said to, it would be a God send!… Continue reading LA Girl PRO.matte foundation

But sometimes we need all the help we can get. Enter facial mists! Not that you should totally forego water, go drink some now! Immediately!… Continue reading The Body Shop Face Mists
Yoh, that is one long title for what will be a super short post! I recently saw this primer at Dischem and thought I'd give it a go. This range had quite a few products, including other colour correcting primers, primer sticks, concealers, powder pearls, loose powder, lip primer, mini makeup sponges and nail polish.… Continue reading Essence little beauty angels Colour Correcting soft brightening face perfection primer
Ever walked around during summer with your pretty dress/top on and upon lifting your arms suddenly realize you forgot to shave...or on your way to the beach? (only me? Eish...) A while back I started on my laser hair removal journey. I have dark hair and decided to have my underarms lasered. It’s just easier… Continue reading Laser hair removal – how it REALLY is
I know this isn't exactly a new product, but I've had it for a while now and thought I'd give you a quick lowdown. I have two shades - "07 1 second to mars" and "03 galaxy rocks". The tube says: "creamy eyeshadow for an incredible metallic and vibrant finish" and that it definitely is!… Continue reading Essence Metal Shock Eyeshadow
Due to the fact that I regularly wear gel polish on my nails and have to soak it off, my cuticles and surrounding nail area can get very dry. I'm always applying nail oil - usually Essence nail oil. Recently I saw this in an Avon catalog and thought I'd give it a try. I'm… Continue reading Avon Footworks Nail and Cuticle Serum
About a year ago I decided to start trying to do my own gel nails. I used to go to a salon to get my nails done, but having to go every 3-4 weeks at around R300 a shot started adding up. I’ve seen and heard about the Maskscara brand of Gel-It polish and thought… Continue reading Gel Nails DIY
