New to Garnier , is their SkinActive mask range. They come in a few assortments and theyre available at Foschini. Masking is so important, and this doesnt need to be done every single day, you should mask at least 2x to 3x week maximum as this helps your moisturiser and serums to penetrate deeper into the skin (better product penetration). As youll benefit better from your skincare products and products arent cheap now adays. Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb masks are water- based sheet masks which offer benefits of haf a bottle of a hydrating serum.  Three lovely Masks that Garnier provides are as follows:  1.

Over time a person’s skin ages drastically if we don’t take the initiative to look after it. We only have one skin, if that makes sense to you. I introduce to you the  New and improved formula. FUN FACT The Epidermis is the most important layer of then skin considering the external application of skincare cosmetics and make up due to the appearance. Why do we need to start early? Research has proven that its not to say skin ages as time flies by, but rather environmental factors, inflammation and weakening of the skin structure, which results in the momentum of the skins aging process. Sun exposure has shown to be one of the culprits to several signs of ageing, if not protected due to sun exposure.  Which is so important to always use sunscreen even on days that may not be sunny or you don’t even step out the house. Always shield your skin from the sun.  L'Oreal  Revitalift is enriched with: 1.     Advanced Pro- Retinol – wh...

It's new foundation time... Shall I spill the beans my beauties... Rimmel you beautiful thing, has done it again and has made us proud. I don't often play around with new foundations. Just for the fact that its quite difficult trying to find something that matches my skin tone and finding the time to try every foundation in the store till you've found a match. So Rimmel now relaunched their new foundation. I feel as though, once I've found the perfect colour of foundation, I can now conquer the world therefore I'm capable of pursuing anything that flies my way. Maybe being adventurous finding something new. hahaha, not! Rimmel Long Lasting 25hour foundation has an added comfort serum. The consistency of it is thick, but its better when you've applied a primer before hand. This foundation is perfect for people with oily skin. What's nice about it is, that it has the ability to provide you with a natural look without you looking cakey or flakey. Il...

There has a been a stage where, all I could do is to try finding the perfect translucent powder. No mater what store I went to I was always just too afraid to make a purchase and then yet regret what I had bought. Have you ever been through that, or still are. Iv been wanting to find something that would suit all my clients for special occasion makeup sessions. Trying to find some thing that would be light but also not cake once applied. So then I've ended doing research, this took months till I finally figured out that this product I'm about to talk about came recommended by couple youtubers and bloggers. The amazing RIMMEL Long Lasting Pressed Powder I then grew the courage to head to Foschini and purchase this beauty once and for all and see what the huge fuss was about. I paid about R 100 for this baby. Yup! what a bargain. I don't regret at it all.I use it for all my clients. It doesn't make the face white like a Casper the ghost, as it is translucent. it ble...

There comes a time when whatever product we want to use, has unfortunately come to an end. Or if you're like me, break the entire bottle or by complete accident you spill everything everywhere and leaving nothing behind to even salvage, then you're named the world class cluts, have no fear you're not alone. Over a long time I have been using Coconut oil, and I can say its amazing. I keep repurchasing it. Its a product that can found easily at the drugstore and inexpensive if you're on a budget,so don't worry my love I've got you covered. Just a little bit of history: Apparently the coconut tree was used for many years by the people around the Pacific and Asian countries. So, the meat of the coconut had supplied these people with food. Also, how interesting they used the leaves to weave baskets. The syrups they had was made from the flowers. Now a days people use it for homeware, beauty and skincare. Here's a few uses...

I super-duper enjoy this palette. Might I add it’s my first of its kind in my collection. I've been contemplating many before this product, but I never had the cash to even afford those high-end products. So, let me stop rambling, and work my magic in persuading you to give it a try. This palette comes in 4 contour shades and 4 highlight shades. If you want to go for a hella bronze look go for it, you’ve got all the shades to make it happen. You may not always need all those shades but as soon as summer comes or goes, you can always use some of the shades as an eye shadow. I believe these shades will long time. CONTOURS: The contours are suitable for most skin tones, which so compact and such a pleasure. Thanks NYX, you’re amazing man. Anyways as I was saying, till I went of a tangent. They’re pigmented, so usually just use little at a time, coz I’m that person that just has a light hand and build it gradually. I’ve researched and I found that some foun...

WHATS IN MY MAKEUP BAG? So, like every girl on this planet, I think we all leave the house without a stitch of makeup and when we finally reach our destination at work, do we do our make up in a rush. The key I learnt over the years of working is to not over pack my makeup bag. But to carry along the most essential of essentials. You will notice I’m into affordable makeup products from the drugstore. So, let me take you through my Makeup bag, I hope you enjoy my post. Foundation I often reach for my Garnier BB Cream for days I want a subtle no makeup - makeup look, but for those days I want to add that extra effort to my look I’ll use my Loreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation, it adds that extra coverage without that horrible cakey look that some foundations leave you with at times. Powder My favourite powder in my makeup bag is the Yardley loose powder. Not a lot of people rave about it. But I guess its different strokes for different folks. Its pretty effortless. Als...

Pureology to the rescue So recently I purchased this shampoo and conditioner, (Powerful duo in my opinion). I REALLY LOVE IT!!! My new favourite for this month by far. For the past couple of months, I have been struggling with my hair in a sense that the shampoo and conditioner I had been using has been weighing my hair down and making it way too greasy too quickly. It made me super frustrated, after recently treating my hair and colouring, I needed to make a quick change so my stylist recommended this duo to me... Packaging: They’re in a sturdy and turquoise bottle. The Print on the bottle is informative for the customer purchasing it, which is always nice when you considering a brand-new product you know nothing of, that’s one thing I do appreciate. Texture: Pleasant fragrance, shampoo lathered up quickly for a sulphate free shampoo, Rinsed out nicely. The conditioner smelt amazing, didn’t feel greasy at all. How to: apply quarter sized amount to wet h...

REVIEW : Moroccanoil I just can’t get enough of this product, it literally is like magic in a bottle, but in this case a small bottle. At the salon where I work, I'd usually get my hair done by them. And every single time the lady would end off the blow dry using this Moroccanoil original treatment oil on my hair, and my hair would feel so smooth. I decided to go ahead and purchase the mini size, just to see how my hair would cope, if I do it m own blow dry, because it would’ve been pointless to spend so much money on something and the results never remained the same. A little bit of history of how this product came into existence: Moroccanoil Co-Founder Carmen Tal, went for her routine colour service which took a turn for the worst. Carmen Tal then later stumbled upon a salon which she then experienced a Moroccanoil Treatment whilst on holiday. She absolutely loved it and then decided to take it full stream. Moroccanoil is another name for Argan oil w...

REVIEW L’ Oréal Skin Perfection Correcting day moisturiser and the New L’ Oréa l Pure Clay Glow Scrub Never did I think I’d move away from my Neutrogena moisturiser, but I just couldn’t help myself in trying this loreal skin perfection correcting day moisturiser. I’ve heard and seen so many positive reviews I had to just check it out for myself. So here I go. (laughs) The product line is about 1 -2 years old and offers a day and night cream, correction cream and a serum. It’s difficult trying to find a skincare line focused on 20-30 year olds, as everything is focused on anti-aging or acne skins. Packaging: I absolutely love the luxury you feel with this product. It looks really fancy for something that’s not expensive at all. The pink as a pop of colour, drew my attention right away. Feeling the weight of the container was little bit heavy due to it being glass which I had no problem with at all. It also contains about 50ml of product with a removable i...
