Fenty Skin Start’rs Review

By

It’s that time of the year again where one thing’s for sure – we’re all trying to get in as much sun kisses as we can! For me, this meant making a short left home to Durban. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not only the time of year which determines which skincare routine to follow, whether you’ll be spending your time along the coast or more inland is just as valid a reason to switch up on the products you use. Durban is quite humid all year round, but more especially now that it’s Summer. As a result, I navigate most of my days make up free and desire that ultimate coastal skin glow! The Fenty Skin Travel-Size Start’rs set has been my ultimate go to while in Durban. I loved how perfectly they fit into my vanity case and how the 3 step set made for an easy to…

NEW NIVEA Q10 POWER Range

By

Hey lovers, I don’t know about you, but my skin has been going through the absolute most as we get closer to the winter season. It’s been  dryer than usual, leaving me with the most uncomfortable feeling through the day. Just as I was voicing my skin  frustrations online and how I would be masking that very evening, I received a lovely gift at my doorstep from NIVEA South Africa that I thought I should tell you more about. As some of you may know, NIVEA was the very first brand I tried out  when I decided to officially jump on a solid skin routine. Not only is it affordable, it is widely accessible and has various ranges that addresses skin concerns specific to the South African climate.  In this never ending journey of figuring out my skin routine, I’ve had the opportunity to try out quite a few of…

Browns Jewellers Gala Launch

By

Last week Thursday, the 24th of October, I had the pleasure of joining in the festivities with Browns as they launched their newest collection and announced their Alpha Woman Competition. Held at the beautiful Summer Place in Hyde Park, the evening was a magical affair filled with glamour and luxury. Upon arrival, we were given a very warm welcome by Mr Larry Brown himself, who many of you may know is the co-owner of Browns.

By

MUA, RAINE TAUBER, TALKS AFRICAN FASHION WEEK MAKEUP TRENDS WITH AVON African Fashion International (AFI) Fashion Week kicks off on Thursday, 10 October, at the Sandton Convention Centre with over 30 designers showcasing their Autumn/Winter 2020 collections. When thinking about the runway, it is impossible not to marry new design collections with trendy and seasonal makeup looks. In preparation for AFI, Avon – the makeup sponsor for LMDA Beauty Ateliers at AFI 2019 – spoke with Director Raine Tauber about the makeup looks guests can expect to see on the runway. 1. It’s not always about dewy and glowing skin When it comes to Autumn/Winter makeup, we’re expecting natural looks that don’t focus too much on the glow of one’s face. During AFI, we’ll be using matte textures more strategically to ensure there is no unwanted shine. Expect to see an element of the rawness where imperfections are allowed to…

AVON Power Stay Review

By

https://www.instagram.com/p/B21d5AzAZqB/ Hey lovers, This one’s for all the beauty lovers, who like me, want a reliable product that you can start bold with, and stay bold in all day! A product that is comfortable and lightweight, so much so that you even forget you have something on. I recently tried out the Avon True Power Stay Long-wear make-up range and was definitely impressed! I usually have a problem with most matte lipsticks, they often leave my lips feeling dry and cracky. This wasn’t the case with the Avon True Power Stay 16 Hour Lip Color. My lips didn’t crack, and the lip color sat comfortably all through the day. I’m such a coffee lover, and I just can’t compromise on getting my love in a cup first thing in the morning! I was pleased to see that my Power Stay Lip Color didn’t stain my mug or alter in pigment…
