Pink & Purple Dots

  Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How has your week been so far? I'm crazy busy at work at this stage, and writing my own final exams made my schedule for this time of year even crazier. A work colleague subscribed to the Papery boxes and showed me this box at work one afternoon. I knew as soon as I got home that I needed to order one myself too - and boy, it didn't disappoint.  Today I'll share my box and thoughts with you. I decided on the once-off box option to just try out - which I feel is an excellent option if you aren't sure or just want to treat yourself to a box or two. I paid R595 and that included delivery. So let's jump into the products in the box : A cute mini notebook  A set of gorgeous pastel highlighters A cute set of flower sticky notes Fynbos Incense Cones Cute flower stickers  Kores Correction fluid Tweezers for easier sticker placement Two blue pens and index tabs Pastel colouring in pencils Colouring in cards Happiness journal  Overall if you ador...

  Hi guys! Happy Thursday. How has your week been so far? A little while back Essence did an excellent collection with Jurassic World, and since Alex and I ADORE the film franchise - I knew I had to jump on this collection and get as many of the items as possible. Luckily I hit the website just as it was uploaded so I got the collection and decided to do a full review for you guys.  Again - I don't usually buy full Essence collections anymore - but this was an exception and for good reason. Who doesn't love dinosaur-inspired make-up? First up, the make-up tools in this collection. Pink Make-Up Sponge in Bingo! Dino DNA R82,95 Highlighter Brush in Must be a fast Runner R82,95 Powder Brush in Stay in the car! R99,95 Again, I love Essence brushes and make-up tools - and I love the colours on the brush handles. Did I really need new make-up brushes? No... But who can say no to these cuties?  Essence brushes are fantastic quality and affordable - so you can't go wrong with the...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been? Mine has been insanely busy, the last two months in general have been insanely busy. I started studying earlier this year again and had a few exams and assignments due, and I'll be honest I just had too much on my plate. Luckily things have calmed down a bit and I can finally sit down and write my review for a product that I have loved non-stop for the last month and a half - the magical Filorga Oxygen Glow CC-Cream.  Now it's no secret how much I adore this brand in general, but as I usually wear foundation daily, I wasn't sure if this would be 100% my cup of tea. But this product has impressed me so much that I ditched my foundation for this CC cream instead.  So let me tell you more about this Filorga Oxygen Glow CC cream. Firstly - it has an SPF30 - even though I wear sunscreen daily - another layer of protection never hurts anyone. The Filorga helps fight the factors that contribute to tired-looking skin that is deprive...

  Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far? I won't lie, the chillier evenings are getting to me now that we are officially moving into winter - I'm not ready to come home in complete darkness yet! A little while ago I decided to splurge and treat myself to the Lanolab products as I have been eyeing them forever. (And with winter coming up investing in some pamper treats is always a win! ) I got the intense body butter and multi-use natural balm from the brand to try out and man oh man, I'm really impressed and blown away by them so far.  So let's jump straight into the review on these products : The Multi-use Natural Balm : Lanolab multi-use balm is best known to soothe chapped and dry lips. It’s locally made in South Africa and 100% natural with no added fragrance. The hero ingredient, lanolin, locks in moisture while the papaya extract is packed with anti-inflammatory properties. Lanolab assists with soothing everything from dry lips, minor skin irrita...

Hi guys! Happy Thursday? How has your week been so far? I won't lie, all these public holidays have thrown my week haywire and it feels like I'm constantly forgetting what day it is.  Filorga recently celebrated 10 years of their Iconic Time-Filler Formula - one of their BEST anti-ageing moisturisers out there. The new formulation is specifically designed to treat all five types of wrinkles namely deep wrinkles, lines caused by dryness, surface wrinkles, neck wrinkles and those sneaky little expression lines. I turned 36 at the end of March - so it came at the perfect time to help me tackle all my skin ageing concerns . While it definitely is a privilege to grow old - you don't exactly want your skin to show your age. I know I would like to look as young as possible for as long as possible - so I can see why in the past 20 years the demand for non-invasive anti-ageing procedures has increased by 174.6%.  The new Filorga formula is inspired by the 5 expert aesthetic medicine...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far ? As you know - I love my goodleaf subscriptions. In the meantime, I added some of their CBD waters to my subscription as well - and recently they sent all the February subscriptions 2 of their new goodleaf Multiseed CBD snack bars to try out.  These  Snack Bars uses plant-based ingredients combined with the power of pure CBD for a dose of calm on the go. No chemicals added sugar or harmful ingredients. Just the magic of nature. The two flavours in the range are Cocoa & Almond Multiseed CBD Bars and The Vanilla Macadamia Multiseed bars. If you know me you know I adore all things Vanilla, but the Cocoa and Almond is the favourite of the two by far.  These are super delicious bars, and unlike a granola bar or seed bar you are used to - these are moist and isn't dry at all. These are EXTREMELY delicious and I can 100 % recommend them if you love goodleaf products.  These bars are also :  No added   su...

  Hi guys! Happy Thursday. How has your week been so far? We didn't have any electricity since last week Friday as a Power Cable got damaged and let me tell you that was no fun!  Last year I got sent some Ellips goodies to try out. I have already used the capsules before and loved them so I was extremely excited to try some more goodies from the range.  I got sent the hair mask, Ultra Serum, Cuticle Serum and some of their famous hair capsules. Honestly, with the hair capsules, I don't have a favourite. I prefer the scent of the purple ones, but I love and adore all of them.  So let's jump into the goodies and my thoughts : ellips Hair Treatment Capsules: Now I'm pretty sure you have seen these beauties all over social media. And for good reason. These capsules come in five different variants. They all help restore strength and vitality. All the capsules are Argon Oil-based and they all contain Pro-Vitamin B5 along with Vitamin A & Vitamin E. They are SUPER easy ...

Hi guys! Happy 2022! I hope you all had an amazing break and are ready to tackle this new year. I for one is soooo happy 2021 is over and done with - and hoping 2022 brings everything magical. In December the lovely Filorga sent me one of the products from their new Skin- Unify Range. As you know I love all things Filorga and this brand is 100% worth the splurge to keep you looking amazing and tackling ageing gracefully. And let's be honest - that's always a bonus. While I don't mind ageing - I definitely want to keep looking as young as possible for as long as possible. Over 200 million women worldwide are affected by pigmentation concerns and the Skin Unify range was designed to reduce dark spots and reveal even radiant skin. This range is perfect for women who want to treat dark spots, uneven complexion and lack of radiance - and let's be real after December we all need a little radiance for going back to work.  So how does the is magical range work?
