Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been? My week has been kicking my butt - I'm honestly a little overwhelmed with work and life - but I know a few down days isn't the end of the world.  One of my favourite things in the whole world is skincare - so I'm excited to share my morning Autumn skincare Routine with you guys and chat more about the products I'm using. As always - these are things that are currently working for me. I'm now 34 so one of my main concerns at this stage is preventing ageing faster - it's never a bad thing to look younger than you really are. Avon Micellar Gel Cleanser  I LOVE this gentle yet effective cleanser for the mornings - it doesn't strip my skin or upsets my skin pH balance -and preps it for all the products I will be using. I use a pump of the product - massage it into my skin for 60 seconds then rinse off with luke-warm water. This is one of the few gentle yet cleaning cleansers I have found - perfect to p...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ! And Happy March - Seriously can't believe that it's March already - that means my it's birthday month and next month the blog will be turning 6 .  I skipped out with sharing my #SampleSunday rundown for January , so I'm throwing them into the February mix today. If you don't know - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  So without too much chit chat - let's jump into them January & February samples : Chloe Eau de Parfum  (     ) I'm back with my first  #SampleSunday  for the year. Today's sample is Chloé Eau de Parfum. This is a soft feminine scent that smells like roses. Not too florally but the perfect girly scent. Nuxe Face & Body Ultra Rich Cleaning Gel (  ) Today's  #samplesunday  is the  #Nuxe  Face and Body Ultra Rich Cleaning Gel . Although this states it's a ...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday. How is your week been so far ? I have been crazy busy the last few days - hopefully next week I will be back to normal.  I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the  BeautyBulletin  Influencers to test out the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range - and I was pretty excited. As I've mentioned a million times here on the blog - I do suffer from dehydrated skin. The Hydro Boost range is specifically created to help combat the effects of dehydrated skin , and help nourish the skin . The Neutrogena Hydro Boost range consists of hydrating facial cleansers and moisturisers. Their unique Hyalurolic Acid Gel Matrix creates a hydration reservoir and works with the skin's natural moisture system to replenish , restore and deliver hydration throughout the day . It leaves your skin supple - and ready to bounce back to healthy hydrated skin.  One of the main reason my skin went from oily to more normal dehydrated skin, was most l...

Hi guys ! Hope your having a great week so far . This week has really flown ! As I mentioned earlier this week, today I will share some of my favourite nail items for at work (and at home ) . These are products that work amazing on me , if you have an awesome hand cream you love, feel free to give me a few suggestions,I always love to hear about new products. So enough about my rambling, let me get to the goodies.  1 & 2 - Oh So Heavenly Waterless Hand Cleansers  Here I am not to picky about the scent, I love how you can use this on the go and I always carry some in my bag . You never know when you might need to freshen up and won't be able to quickly wash your hands. (They retail for around R9 each ) 3 ) Essence Gel Nails At Home Super Rich Hand and Nail Cream -  First off, I REALLY like that these are budget friendly. (About R20) This cream is nice and moisturising and absorbs really quickly . For me this is another huge bonus, as I can't sit and wait f...
