Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys. Happy Monday. Did you have a nice weekend ?? Mine was pretty busy as I am prepping for my kiddo's 8th birthday this week.  Over the weekend I was lucky enough to receive the Labello Vanilla Buttercream lip-balm from  Rubybox  to review for you guys. If you know me you know I love vanilla products - it's my all time favourite scent in the world - so I was really excited to try it. I prefer lip-balm daily with a lipgloss instead of lipstick as I do suffer from extremely sensitive lips. Labello has an extra care formulation with Shea Butter and natural oils - and this particular variety has the most amazing vanilla aroma.  This lip-balm immediately cares for your lips to leave them deeply moisturised and smooth . I prefer a thicker balm to use daily instead of one that absorbs within seconds - so I love that this lip-balm doesn't disappear from your lips within seconds.  Skin compatibility dermatologist approved. These lip-balms retails for R24,99 from Dis

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?? Since everyone is now back at work I thought I'd share what's inside the little make-up bag I take to work . I really don't take much as I apply my make-up early in the morning before taking Alex to school and going to work . I really carry the bare minimum as I trust the products I use on a daily basis to keep me looking great with little touch ups or a quick freshen up. So let's jump into my bag - Milani Even Touch Powder Foundation in Shell   bought this on the Milani website when they were running a combo deal (which is still available  HERE  ) . I love how this is such an easy convenient product as it includes a mirror and a pretty decent powder puff to apply at the bottom. I use a Gosh Travel brush I got as a gift with purchase a few years back to lightly dust on some powder on areas that might have gotten a little bit greasy during the day before I pick up Alex at school in my lunch break. I love how th

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday ! How has your week been so far ? I'm back at work now too, and Alex went back to school today so posting will be more regularly from today.  Today I will be sharing my favourite John Frieda Blonde haircare products. I was blonde most of 2017 and I really discovered that blonde highlighted hair does take extra care . I am back to brunette hair again now (and will be sharing my favourite haircare products for my Brunette hair soon too. ) I was lucky enough to get send the John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo and Conditioner end September last year thanks to Rubybox - and did a full review with before and after pictures  HERE   .  This shampoo contains citrus and chamomile to gently reduce colour pigment in the hair so that blonde hair is gradually lightened for a sun-kissed look. It contains no ammonia or peroxide, but rather uses a natural lightening complex. This product is suitable for all shades of blonde and can be used with the matching conditio

Hi guys. Happy Tuesday . How has your week been ? Back at work already or only from today / next week ?? I have a meeting at work on Friday but I'll only be back back at work from next week. My good friend Siobhan convinced me to do the whole #52weeknailchallenge this year (we did the last 4 themes together last year December ) and I decided to do a post on the current products I'm loving for doing my nails. These will include the basics... cuticle oil , base coat , top coat , polish remover and hand creams and hand sanitizers.   So let me jump into my current favourites and why I love them : Sorbet Condition Nail Polish Remover with Lavender Oil Acetone I have mentioned my love for this nail polish remover before ... but this one has to be my favourite. The scent isn't that strong ( which I did find with the more floral ones in the range) yet it removes polish really quickly without drying out your nails too much. I really love the pump bottle on it too . This m

Hi guys . First off ... Happy 2018 . I hope this will be a truly magical year for each and everyone of you guys. I hope you had a great Festive season and that you are ready to tackle the new year . A while back I got sent a very cute PR pack from Avon / Justine. As you guys already know - it's no secret that it's one of my favourite brands . In the pack was the Justine Oil Control range - and this was perfect timing.  As you know , I have dry dehydrated skin , but over December / January my skin freaks out and doesn't want to play along with my normal skincare. Which makes perfectly sense since it's extremely hot and humid . So I decided to give the range a try and see how it preforms - and boy oh boy was I surprised. My skin didn't freak out anymore , the range kept my skin matte , yet moisturised at the same time. I've been testing out the range for a few weeks now , and I can genuinely say this range has quickly became my new favourite.  Justine Oi
