Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Sorry for the radio silence the last two weeks - my mom was admitted into ICU and I didn't have a free minute to spare. But luckily she's out now and I can continue with my normal level of craziness.  A little while back I did a review on some City Girl Beauty Lippies - and a little after that I placed an order for their Beauty Sleep serum (which my mom swears by ) and decided to pick up one of the new masks in the range. I love that Jess is another fellow blogger with her own range of beauty products . She created 4 new awesome masks and I was extremely keen to try one out . (Side note - I didn't need a new mask - but I love masks / sheet masks in general so I'm always tempted to try a new one ) Plus they are pretty affordable at R90 a mask - as the container does pack a punch and you get about 8/9 uses from the container.  I decided to try the Bees Knees variety as it helps with signs of ageing , scarring , acne and even hydration. With ...

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. Anyone got any fun weekend plans ?? A little while ago I got this great Babor Deep pore cleansing mask to try out. This acts as a scrub and a mask ... And being super busy (and lazy sometimes ) I like a great multi tasking product.  What their website says about the mask : BABOR’s in-house laboratories have developed a deep-pore cleansing mask that not only has an exfoliating effect but also refines the complexion. Salicylic acid opens the pores and prevents skin blemishes, while kaolin reduces shine and mattifies the skin. In addition, pro vitamin B5 helps to regenerate the skin’s protective barrier. Skin is cleansed deep down and refined and has a fresh and rosy appearance. This mask is a perfect twice a week treat to help keep break outs at bay as well as he helping existing blemishes heal quicker.  Although the mask contains exfoliating beads, they aren't too harsh on the skin at all and your skin feels soft and smooth after the mask. How...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ! Hope you're having a great week so far.  I mentioned it quite a few times, but I'm really obsessed with good skincare routine. When you have great skin , make-up products applies better and makes it last better. While I suffer from dry skin in winter, I still have a oily t-zone year round , and extremely painful break-outs and bumps lately from stress  .  Dermaceutic Mask 15  is an oil reducing mask that targets oily and acne-prone skin. This astringent clay mask removes dead skin cells, purifies the skin and removes excess oil. Take note: it contains 15% Glycolic Acid. 15%! That is powerful stuff. It also contains Salicylic acid which further aids in the exfoliation process and Bentonite which is a highly absorbent clay. So basically, this mask contains ingredients that penetrate the pores, tightening the pores, loosen all the nasty stuff , and helps clear blemishes quicker.  This is a mask that you need to foll...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday ! Hope you all had a great week. My week was super busy, but eventful . As I mentioned on Wednesday post, my skin goes crazy in winter. It goes scaly and flaky so quickly ... And I REALLY hate it. So in winter time I try as much as I can to boost my skin with hydrating serums and masks. As always, Clicks has amazing specials from time to time , their 3 - 2 specials, and when I picked up some Sorbet skincare goodies, I decided to get some sachet masks from Sorbet. I usually get these masks when I travel or go on holiday (or when my skin needs a boost from time to time ) , as it contains a serum to apply first, and then a sheet mask (which looks scary the first ) and comes in this easy to use pouch . This time I got 3 different masks ( I usually just get the hydrating one , so keep an eye out for a review on the other two later the month ) As mentioned, this mask has a 2 step system. The top part has a serum, which you open and massage into your skin for abou...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ! Hopefully you are all having a great week, I'm so glad it's finally a little cooler this morning (And I LOVE the rain )... The heat was killing me. So today I will be reviewing 2 great Juliette Armand masks that is PERFECT to get you back into the work mood. First off - The Exfo Line Mask : This mask boosts the skin's natural defence system and helps the skin regain it's natural balance , smoothness & texture. This is a GREAT anti-ageing mask , as well as a great gentle exfoliating mask after a peel. The mask goes on pink with little black beads , and dries clear (with the little beads still visible.) I have been using this mask for over a month now, and I find it perfect when your skin feels a little dry / dull and needs a boost.  Mud Heilmoor Mask : This is a GREAT firming mud mask - it contains special mud from  Reichenau – Austria with healing properties, It contains amino acids that helps  alleviates irritation ...

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week so far . Today I'm going to share my thoughts on 3 awesome REN masks I received to review. I'm a BIG fan of masks and I do use them weekly in my routine. These masks came at a great time, as my face was acting up a little from the season change.  Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask (R520 ) This is one of my favourites. This mask really helps to make your skin look brighter , radiant and healthy. This mask does have a little bit of a tingling feeling when you put it on but nothing intense . I really love to use this mask once a week and makes my skin looks really healthy and super smooth.  Clarimatte™ Invisible Pores Detox Mask (R360 ) This is a detoxifying clay mask that is designed to reduce the appearance of pores and leaves your skin smooth and soft. This is really great to use when you want to give your skin a good "cleaning" mask . I did notice after a few uses my pores looks a little smaller . What I l...
