Bye Bye 2015

Time to unwind as we get closer to the end of 2015. Festive/ holiday season has hit Cape Town and the holiday season has begun. Most of you beauties are probably on holiday already and to those working I hope your day at work is flying by because I know you would probably want to ditch the office and rather be relaxing on the beach.

2015 to me personally went in a blink of an eye. I'm not too sure if I really accomplished much this year or if I did I cannot really recall at this moment like I said 2015 just went by too fast. 2015 had its cries and laughs, tragedies and memories but I'm grateful to have gone through another year.

This time of the year is so much fun and chilled and there is such a great vibe in the Cape. What I will be doing this holidays is simply relaxing and some de cluttering before the new year begins (hopefully).

My look below is a very chilled , give me a jean , tee and sneakers I will be more than happy. I feel that my vibrant printed tee is symbolic of how alive this time of the year is and my messy half up down effortless hairdo is how carefree everyone will be and the sneakers and jean is simply me.. oh and the accessories for some fashionable funk.

If you reading this post Thank You for coming back I really appreciate it , I really hope to be more consistent next year on the blog(no promises lol). I also hope that you enjoy your holidays and time off before the new year begins, oh and please be safe on the roads if you are travelling. This will be my last post for the year, I do have a few reviews sitting in drafts which I will be posting next year :) .

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 

Till next year...bye

What I'm Wearing:

Sweater : Mr Price pop up store

Jean : Mr Price

Jewellery : Ring -Gifted, Bangle H&M

Review : Blistex Daily Conditioning Treatment

Hello Beauties,

Okay so this product may have been on the market for ages I don't know, but I thought I'd share a little review because it really worked for me when suffering from some sort of unexpected dry cracked lips which I never have. I don't know the actual reason for having these dry cracked lips maybe it was that I was washing my face with very hot water(oops) and it caused them to dry out or it could be that I suffered from a mild cold or maybe it was just because of the medication I was on.

Anyway... I then used my normal lip balms such as Baby Lips which I adore but it did not seem to work and cure my problem completely(But its my fav for everyday use). I went to the pharmacy and purchased BLISTEX Daily Conditioning Treatment for about R75 after my cousin said I should give it a try as she used the product before.

I can definitely say that this particular lip balm has worked after using it for about two weeks and cured my dry cracked lips completely and would recommend this product if you suffer from extremely dry lips.It should last for some time as I only use it if my lips are super dry but otherwise I use my daily lip balms.

Why buy this product?

• Extra conditioning.
• SPF 20.
• Heals lips quick.

I rate this product 5/5 and a plus is that it has a SPF of 20.

Let me know what you think if you have used it before. You can find this at a pharmacy , Dischem,Clicks or PNP stores.

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??
