Lips for Summer

By

For just over a year now I have been totally obsessed over the Woolworths Hydro range and Pink Rouge has been my favourite color. Not only does it give your lips a subtle hint of color , but it leaves your lips feeling hydrated for quite a while. I just wish the Elizabeth Arden Lip repair balm would also be available with a hint of color. I’m yet to try out the Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream which has a hint of color. Anyway , this definitely makes the list for my summer essentials.

Lush Experience

By

So after a lovely day of stuffing my face and a little bit of shopping I had to do just a little more , towards something which would make for the perfect end to my day . I walked into the well spoken of Lush store in Gateway and was welcomed by some sort of enchanting scent and the warmest energy by the staff. I was super fascinated by all the colors , the set up and how much variety was available . It’s pretty cool that they’re really reasonably priced too! What caught my eye the most were the luxury bath melts or rather the bath bombs as I’d prefer to call them. They’re said to leave your skin looking and feeling well moisturized from the natural butters and oils used when producing the product. My two favorite picks I made by their scent and special effects , yes ..…

Midnight Blue

By

As we enter the summer season and well pretty much the end of the year, I really need to take a moment to decide on a look and feel for summer. With this of course comes a hairs and Color change which will be best suited for the season as well as my character. I never ever decide on hairstyles according to how well they suite other people (well maybe I do if we have the same oval shaped long face). However , my main priority is ensuring that I can maintain the look with all the care it requires , ensuring that it will go well with my face shape ,  my skin tone  as well as considering if it compliments my wardrobe. I have always enjoyed bob hairstyles and the amount of transformation the traditional bob has had over the years. I love my hair bouncy, well textured…

Daily Essentials – Johnson’s

By

Take care of your skin as best you can without over exposing yourself to products which will be harmful to your skin in the long term . Learn what skin type you are and which product would be better suited specifically for you . What works for another may not necessarily work for you . My personal choice by default has always been to use Johnson’s products because I grew up using the Johnson’s baby Jelly .One day however ,my aunt made me aware to the fact that I should not take for granted that I have good skin and should start taking better care . I’ve since started using the Johnson’s oil balancing gel wash as well as the gentle exfoliation wash . I use the exfoliation was once a week although it is said to be safe to use daily . The gel wash I use day and…

Summer Nails

By

A few days ago , I took to my Instagram ( @IAMTHANDOLWETHU ) to get a few suggestions on which nail color I should try for the Summer , as well as which brand ladies are most loyal to and trust with their all. Interestingly enough , this question turned out to be rather informative for me . Get this , most of this information came from a male ! So yes , the urban male does know quite a lot more than we often think they do when it comes to personal grooming . My personal experience is mainly of the Revlon and Essie range , which is the range the ever so trusted nail bar Fancy Claws in Durban is known for. Morgan Taylor as well as the new Revlon gels also came into mention which I am yet to try . The suggested colors were…
