Summer Wardrobe Shopping Guide

Hi lovelies 

Summer has started and I'm sure everybody is in the holiday mood , I know I am. My mood currently is just to relax and be 100% lazy. In my post today I thought I could put together some pieces that I came across online for those that need help to get their summer wardrobe up and going. So here are a few items that I found that I liked and think its a must to have in your wardrobe this summer.

1. Straw hat R79.99 - Mr Price

• Face protection is a must , we don't want to look all burnt at the beginning of summer do we? A big hat is a cool summer essential and perfect to complete a look.  

2. Basic white tee R149 - H&M

• My mood lately is shop basic , A white tee is a must have for summer you can never go wrong with having too much. It is great for chilled looks especially if you rocking your shorts or jean.

3. Shopper Bag R99.99 - Mr Price

• I love the fact that these shopper bags are coming in lovely bright and vibrant designs. You can use this accessory as a way to jazz up a plain outfit and is also great to carry along if you hitting the beaches this summer. 

4. Shift Dress R119.99 to R139.99 - Mr Price

• What is your wardrobe without a funky printed dress. I think having a dress especially a shift dress because its so versatile you can dress it up and down. What do you think? 

5. Kaftan R139.99 - Mr Price

• Bring on the word effortless , yes a kaftan is really a good fashionable wardrobe must this summer. If you not one to go for prints Mr price have a cool plain one in stores. Add funky accessories to spice it up.

6. Mirror Avators R49.99 - Mr Price

• Cannot go wrong with some avators or any sunnies, but a mirrored pair of sunnies is defz a go-to-accessory. 

7. Sandals R499 - Poetry Stores

• When browsing poetry online I loved these peach sandals so cute and simple. I am a huge sneaker person but I would really love this pair from poetry.

I really loved putting this summer guide together and I hope you did too, if soo then I will be putting monthly one of these together to show what items I think are cool to have or things I like from our stores. 

Have a great day.

Review : Essence Mattifying Cream

Hello Beauties

After using the Essence My Skin Mattifying cream for a while now, about two months I thought it would be cool to write a little review on it because I find that I use this product daily. When walking into clicks stores I always find myself walking to the Essence section to see what's new and always looking for some budget friendly products. When browsing I spotted the essence mattifying cream and bought it because I did not have a daily moisturiser at the time.

I find that the mattifying cream is a great moisturiser for everyday use even when I'm not wearing any make-up the day. It is also perfect to use as make-up base as stated on the packaging. Most people will most likely use primers(which will most likely be more effective than the mattifying cream) before applying make-up but if you looking something really affordable you should try it. I also see that it does reduce shine in certain areas on face which is great!

I will probably buy this product again because its inexpensive.

Why try this product:

• Budget friendly make-up base
• Great for a daily moisturiser

Have a lovely week ahead.

Review : ALOE Range from The Body Shop

Hello All 

I'm so excited to discuss these few products I purchased at The Body Shop event I attended (The Body Shop New Look Boutique Store Event). I found the perfect range for my skin finally! I think its called the ALOE range I forgot what the lady that assisted me said, but all I remember is that when I asked for something for sensitive skin she directly pointed these products out to me.

ALOE GENTLE EXFOLIATOR: 
Skin-kind polish proven to reveal smooth skin without irritating.
The exfoliator seems to have rougher texture to the Garnier Even and Matte Radience Scrub which I find also works well because its not that harsh on the skin. I recommend this exfoliator to those who love no scent in their facial products. (Price R130)  

ALOE SOOTHING MOISTURE LOTION SPF15:
I love the fact that the moisturiser has a Daily Protection from UVA/UVB and helps to sooth the any signs of sensitive skin. The only problem I have is that when after applying I might tend to rub my eye and it then causes a burning sensation to my eye but otherwise I find the soothing lotion to be perfect. (Price R170)

ALOE LIP CARE: 
Great for those suffering from super dry lips it helps condition and soothes.(Price R75)

Have a wonderful Thursday.

Trend : 70's Fashion

Hello Lovelies



The trend which is strongly alive right now is the '70's Trend'. Every shop you walk into you bound to find some fringe , tassels , round sunnies, chokers and not forgetting those flare pants catching your eye. There are so many pieces you can add to the list that will give you that 70's feel.

My opinion about the whole 70's revival this season is that I absolutely LOVE it, the look is super laid back. I love the different textures , retro prints , layered jewelry and effortless hair.

What do you think of the 70's trend? Have you purchased any cool pieces let me know or tweet me some pics.

I spotted some awesome pieces at Mr Price , Fashion Express , H&M so go check it out.

Have a fab Tuesday.

Review : Garnier Even and Matte Radiance Scrub

Hey Lovelies

After using this particular face scrub (exfoliator ? Scrub? same difference right?haha) for awhile now I thought it's time to write up a review. Recently I've been trying my best to keep up with my skin routine.

I came across the Garnier Even & Matte Instant Radiance Scrub while walking in the supermarket and could not walk past it because the word 'even' caught my eye as my forehead typically the T-zone area which was not matching up with the rest of my skin tone.

My thoughts on this product would be that when I applied it to my face I could not resist the fresh smell which was somewhat exactly close to the scent of the Garnier BB cream .

The exfoliation process seemed more smoother than previous exfoliators I've used. What I loved about this product is that I have noticed is that my skin became more even especially my forehead.

The only thing that I have noticed is that my face had some sort of reaction of fine pimples , no burning or irritation to my skin its probably because I've used a different face wash and not the Garnier range.

Why try this product:

• removes dead cells
• reveals radiance
• smoothes skin

I rate this product 3/5 ..but I will be purchasing this product again as I saw improvements in my skin tone.

You will find this product at clicks , pnp or dischem stores.

I'm a huge fan of testing out different exfoliators so expect more reviews. What is your current face scrub??

Event : The Body Shop New Look Boutique Store

Hello lovelies , about two weeks ago I was invited by one of my favourite brands "The Body Shop" to view their New Look Store in Tygervalley mall. 

As this being one of my first events I was extremely nervous because I did not know what to expect at all, nevertheless upon arriving I spotted the store with its green balloons and surrounded with many other Body Shop lovers and the lovely Liezel Van Der Westhuizen as the host for the opening. 

When the ribbon was cut everyone immediately headed into the new store and my first thoughts was..  that it looked absolutely stunning ,chic and oh so fresh to the before look I love it!

Music was buzzing , people were socializing and the atmosphere was just lovely and the shopping experience was fantastic.

Also nice meeting Amina (Digital Brand Manager for TBS)  

Lovely meeting Leigh blogger behind Lipgloss is my life.
