Pink & Purple Dots

  Hi guys! Happy Thursday. How has your week been? I got bitten by a poisonous spider last week - so I haven't been having the greatest two weeks later. My poor skin is still recovering from all the poison and constant meds. Today I'm sharing a fun self-care inspired post with you guys. Avon recently launched some more Planet Spa collections (and I have ALWAYS loved this specific range from them ). The Ayurveda Ritual Collection contains three products -  A multi-use Soothe and Balance Oil, Soothe and Balance Body Butter and the Soothe and Balance Face Mask.  Ayurveda means ‘the science of life’ & is inspired by an ancient Indian tradition. Enriched with ‘GOLDEN MILK’ - a soothing blend of Indian turmeric root & coconut milk – this self-care ritual will help nourish your body, mind & spirit while leaving your skin glowing. All three products have an extremely calming and soothing smell and effect on the skin - and is the perfect self-care treat if you can't ge...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ??? Today I am sharing my current skincare routine with you . Some of these products only recently came into my life - some are firm favourites but I'm sharing what I use today and why I love these products. For reference my skin is usually normal / combo in summer , but in winter my skin is a mess. I suffer from extremely dry dehydrated skin that gets dry patches super easily especially since it's cold and flu season and I have been sick quite a lot in the last few weeks. Justine Oil Control Face Wash  I already did a full review on the whole Justine Oil Control range  HERE  - but this face wash has stayed a firm favourite in my routine. I'm already on my second bottle and have a back up ready. As I mentioned yes my skin is currently a lot drier and dehydrated - but this face wash doesn't irritate my skin and keeps any blemishes at bay yet gives me an effective deep cleanse morning and evening.  Sorbet Hydro...

Hi guys . Happy Friday. How has your week been ? My week was super busy - my gran ended up being admitted to ICU on Monday - so this week has been crazy busy running from one place to the other. On another note - If you follow me on social media you know I was tempted to colour my hair a different colour for a while now ... and I finally bit the bullet and went back to brunette on Wednesday.  This month I have some awesome new products I am testing to review for you guys. Some are for specific posts I will be doing this month - some are products I really want to try. So without further chatting from me let's jump into the products . Almay Smart Shade Powder Blush in 10 Pink Can we talk for a minute how cute this looks ?? Look at the pretty ombre and the lovely stars ... swoon - this is blush heaven. I will be doing a few top pink items from brands soon - and you can bet this beauty will be featured in that post. The colour is GORGEOUS too.  Avon Mark Liquid Lip La...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? A little while back all the bloggers were raving about  TheBeautifulStore  Tara and Jack face masks - and at that stage I was pretty intrigued to try it out myself - but I had tons of sheet masks in my pile and let's be real - I'm a little lazy with masks that needs to be washed off , wiped off or peeled off. But I decided to bite the bullet and just try the masks. When I ordered the Tara and Jack masks where buy any amount get the same amount free. So why not? That makes the masks a better deal since they are pricier (and with good reason - these masks are amazing ). I have in the meantime repurchased a million more of these masks and a few other variants too - but those I will do in a separate review soon.  Tara & Jack Shaker Mask with Apple Stem Cells Okay , I was sceptical about this masks the most. You get sent a little plastic container with your order - and you have to open the sachet, put the powder in...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? I took a little blogging break last week as I had the week of and Alex was on school holiday - so I decided to spend time with family and friends . Today I'm sharing an awesome new mask from REN with you guys - when I got sent the mask earlier in September it came at the perfect time. The mask promises #skinzeninten - and I was keen to try out the claims.  With the season change and me adding a chemical defoliator to my skincare routine once a week , my skin was a little dry and sensitive. Thrown into the mix the daily day to day stress and not drinking enough water - my skin was dehydrated and over sensitive.  The REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask is specially developed with REN exclusive complex of original ingredients to combat over sensitivity , this rescue mask will calm , soothe and moisturise helping to instantly alleviate the key signs of sensitive skin. It will increase the skin ability to cope with st...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday ! How has your week been ? I am loving the colder weather this week - so I'm taking full advantage while it lasts with scarfs... hot chocolate ... And cuddling with a warm blanket. Did I mention cold weather is my FAVOURITE weather ?? While I was on vacation , I was lucky enough to be close enough to a Lush Store ( YEAH !!) and while I usually only order online - I got the chance to go in and sniff everything ! Let's just say the people working in the Gateway store is some of the coolest people ever.  While I was in-store I knew I had to pick up a Lush Fresh Face Mask , as you can only get them in-store and not online to try. The one I got was Ayesha - and let me tell you I couldn't wait to try it that evening.  As you know - I LOVE skincare products. I feel it's very important to take care of your skin - because let's be real make-up can't cover everything .  This mask might look a little gross in the pot - but don't le...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . Hope you are having a great week so far. A little while back Avon released a new BB Perfection haircare range, and as always I knew I needed to give it a try. I'm super picky with haircare, I have thick coloured hair , that gets frizzy , but then again can get super greasy quickly.  I was SUPER tempted to try this range, so I decided to go big and try everything in the range. The range includes a shampoo, conditioner , beauty balm and mask. I was scared to get the conditioner, mask and beauty balm, because I know my hair ... It's either going to love it .. or it was going to go down horrible. (To be honest I thought it was going to go horrible.. since I know some products that claims to nourish is too nourishing on my hair ) I was pleasantly surprised when I use these combos together. The shampoo is AMAZING ! Hydrating, but not too hydrating, cleans my hair very nicely and keeps the frizzy hair at bay. The conditioner is nice too ... I like ...
