Hey lovers! Just yesterday, I had the exciting opportunity to be part of the exclusive reveal of the Advanced Génifique serum. The informative press event held at the L’Oréal South Africa Head Offices was led by Namate Moyo [ Marketing Manager for Lancôme ] , Ashley Fernandes [ National Education, Retail & Services Manager, L’Oreal Luxe ] and Dr Heidi [ Advanced Research Manager Sub-Saharan Africa at L’Oréal ] I must say, the best thing about this session was having Dr Heidi in the room. Dr Heidi’s portfolio covers South Sub Saharan Africa, which includes raw portfolio ingredient and technology support towards skin and hair. She is also in charge of the incubator and the open innovation L’Oréal does within her region. She did a great job at helping us understand all the scientific terms and how the skin works beyond what meets the eye. Now back to the product.…

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.…

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.
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 ..…
