Pink & Purple Dots

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 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 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? This whole range...

  Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far? Mine has been super busy - Alex has 2 million school activities and I'm super busy at work. Luckily my spider bites are finally on the mend - I am just left with a scar that I'm treating now. In April Filorga sent me the new Age Purifying Intensive Double Correction Fluid to try out - and it came at the perfect timing. As I mentioned, I usually have dry to normal skin - but after the spider bites my skin, I was freaking out majorly and had non stop breakouts. As you know most skincare lines are usually just aimed at either anti-ageing or anti-blemish - so you were always forced to pick which to treat. I had small little breakouts and wearing a mask at work didn't help this out either. And to make it all worse it ended up being extremely painful too.  The new Filorga Age Purifying range is the perfect blend of both to combat wrinkles and it helps to tackle blemishes and imperfections too.  All four products in the ...

  Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How was your Valentines day on Sunday? I spend some quality time with the family and chilled with Alex. Today I'm sharing my review of the Filorga Global Repair Eyes and Lip Multi-Revitalising Eye and Lip Contour Cream. Like all the other products in the Intensive Anti-Ageing range - the new concentrated eye and lip contour cream have been designed with global anti-ageing action for a visible and intensely rejuvenating effect. The core formula of this targeted anti-ageing cream contains 50-meso-factors, super nutrients and cellular boosters. As you know -  I'm turning 35 this year - and lack of sleep/work stress and homeschooling in between a crazy busy routine is hard on my skin. I love to use specially targeted products that can slow down the ageing process and keeps me looking younger for longer. (Let's be honest we all want that ) This targeted cream is full of super-ceramides that attach themselves to the epidermal lipids to restore the skin...

  Hi guys! Happy Monday and Happy February! I was a little quieter last week as it was the kiddos birthday on Monday - he is already 11 and I'm blown away that the small baby I was handed many many years back is almost a teenager. Eeek! Today I'm sharing some new products on my Beauty Desk I will be trying out the Month of February. Some of the products (the Vitamins and Filorga Cream ) I have tried .. so I'll give a mini-review on them but expect a full review on them soon too. I'm on a low buy at this stage so I will have more products to share with in the future once my no-buy is over.  First up is some Aafiyah Healthcare Goodies.  I got the Collagen with Curcumin. I'm excited to try this out as I have been suffering from joint inflammation in my right hand from when I turned 16, and the last year it got significantly worse. So I'm excited to see how this can help with the stiffness. And collagen has so many beauty benefits as well - and who doesn't love ...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. Hope you are having a great week so far. Today I'm sharing a round-up of the most magical stand-put products of 2020 that I discovered. Some I have done a full-on review on the blog - and others will have a review on soon - but none the less these products are all pretty magical in my eyes. The 5 products that made my 2020 list are : Filorga Lift Structure Ultra Lifting Rosy Glow Fluid Filorga Flash- Nude Pro Protection Tinted Fluid SPF30 Swiitch Beauty WaterGel serum Swiitch Beauty Super Hero Spray - Glass Skin Edition Ellips Purple Nutri Colour Treatment Hair Capsules First up is the Ellips Purple Nutri Colour Treatment Hair Capsules : After hearing Simone on an Instagram rave about these little gems over and over - I decided to take the plunge and try them too - and boy am I glad I did. These are little magical capsules filled with a serum to treat a range of hair concerns -  even though I don't colour my hair at this stage -  I prefer the Purple c...

  Hi guys! Happy Monday. Can you believe we quickly counting down to Christmas and the end of 2020? This year feels like it has flown by and taken forever. Alex is starting exams today and work is intense crazy now - so much so that I am struggling to find my feet - in combination with the normal year-end burnout - which somehow feels a little more intense this year. Today I'm sharing one of my favourite everyday essentials with you guys - The Filorga Flash Nude Pro Protection Tinted Fluid with SPF 30. I was sent a few samples to try out along with the Primer - and let me tell you I quickly fell head over heels for this magical foundation formula.  My whole life I have basically been a full coverage gal - until lockdown when I switched my normal full coverage foundation for a BB-Cream. Honestly - I'm over the feel of heavy foundations on my skin - so I was glad when I was sent this foundation to try out. My focus this year is more skincare and when colour cosmetics have those ...

  Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been? I'm not going to lie - September has been a busy month with my dad's birthday and homeschool and work being extremely busy - it didn't help that I got a horrible ear infection/sinus infection in the mix which I'm only now slowly recovering from. As I mentioned in an earlier post - I won some Filorga minis in a Give-away on For The Beauty of It Instagram give-away and I have honestly been enjoying testing out these minis so much.  This time around I will be chatting about the Perfect Skin Effect 1 Week Programme. Although yes some of these minis I still have a bit left that I'm using. I adore this range overall - and was pretty impressed by this mini perfect skin set. So let's get chatting about these minis : Filorga Oxygen-Glow Super- Perfecting Radiance Cream : This is overall an amazing hydrating cream. I preferred to use this at night time when my skin was extra dry and sensitive from wearing a mask at work all...

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How has your week been? The last few weeks has been pretty crazy and intense this side - but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  A week or two ago I won a Filorga giveaway the lovely  ForTheBeautyOfIt  ran on her Instagram page and I was one of the lucky three winners to get gifted some products. Honestly - I have never tried anything from the brand so I was EXTREMELY excited to try it . And it came just before the Woman's Day long weekend - and for a change, I had the Saturday off so it was the perfect time to play and try out new products. Yeah! I'm splitting up the minis reviews into two batches - these are the first products I tested out so far - Filorga Anti-Aging Micellar Solution & Meso-Mask So let me start with the Micellar Water. It's a pretty decent Micellar water - didn't burn or sting my eyes which is always a bonus. Overall - I wasn't blown away by the Micellar water - but it did a decent job of removing my ma...
