Hand & Nail Care

By

For the longest time, taking care of my hands hasn’t been at the top of the list of my priorities. I don’t seem to enjoy how any moisturizer, except for Vaseline, feels on my hands. However, of late I’ve been making a conscious effort to moisturize and care for my hands as I do for my face and feet. I mean, who wants crusty hands and feet anyway? Aside from looking crusty, the long term benefits of taking care of your hands by using a hand cream are definitely worth it. Our hands are our everything. Not an hour of the day goes by without us having to use our hands, and so this important tool deserves our attention. Our hands go through the absolute most, touching and handling all sorts of surfaces, shaking hands and getting in contact with harsh chemicals which have a harmful effect on our skin.…

Skin Protection: Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme

By

Day in and day out, we are exposed to the sun’s harmful radiation also known as UV rays. Contrary to popular belief, whether it’s scorching hot or not, it’s important to have sunscreen as part of your skincare routine. This is an important commitment for you to take through all four seasons. Sunscreen, otherwise known to many others as sunblock, reduces your risk of getting skin cancer, sunburn as well as premature skin aging. I personally used to shun upon all these facts and take skin care for granted until I took the time to educate myself. Only now am I more conscious of the benefits of using sunscreen as part of my skincare routine. With technology developments, dermatologist have been able to formulate skin care products which are specific to ones skin types as well as different SPF levels. I believe this is a brilliant way forward because now your skins…

#LabelloSmileChallenge

By

When I was much younger, my mother found it very important to educate us about all things health in a way we would best receive it. One day, she brought home a children’s read about a boy with a facial anomaly called a cleft lip. Now this was something I’d definitely not heard of or seen before, nothing I’ve ever heard of in the news or in the classroom. You can only imagine how smart I was feeling after reading the book and educating all of my classmates on the playground! Fast forward a couple of years later and once again Im confronted by the reality of a cleft lip. Now however, I’ve been exposed to a brand which is raising awareness and more importantly contributing to helping those in need. Labello has partnered with Smile foundation to help children who have facial anomalies by providing funding their corrective surgeries…

Chelsea Beautique Review

By

Hey guys! I’ve got some exciting news for all the ladies who struggle just as much as I do in the eye brow department. We all know that ones look is incomplete without the ultimate eye brow slay! I got the opportunity to try out the brow kit from Chelsea Beautique. New to the SA market, Chelsea Beautique offers a range of luxury eye and brow essentials. My experience : The brow kit arrives with the offering of 3 eye brow stencils,powder and a brush. Firstly, I must point out how important it is that you choose an eye brow powder which is as close as possible to that of your natural eye brow color. My color selection off of the smudge and water proof eye brow powders is called Midnight. It’s rather BOLD so you would have to wear it with make up, so choosing a more browner tone…

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…
