I don’t know about you, but I love discovering new beauty brands. Standard Beauty has been creating buzz in South Africa, with many raving about their affordable, high-quality skincare - but I had yet to purchase any myself, even though their products sound fantastic...
Oh my word, what is this?! A beauty post?! I know guys, it's been ages since I've done one but I'm really amped for my first quick beauty product reviews blog post. Kelli Clifton (one of the best beauty bloggers around) does them quite often over on her Instagram and...
If there is one thing I am not short of in my bathroom, it's face masks, hydrating face masks to be more specific; my dehydrated skin laps them up the same way that I down an ice cold Coke Zero on a hot (okay, any) day. With the change of season, pregnancy hormones...
When it comes to my skincare I am very much all over the place, par for the course when you write about beauty I guess. In saying that though, along the way I come across some absolute gems and today I want to share the affordable skincare products that I just love,...
I remember when I was in my early twenties, I suffered from quite bad breakouts on a regular basis but I still had pretty dehydrated skin. It's a bit of a conundrum because you want to treat the breakout but you also don't want to strip your skin or dehydrate it even...
There have been a bunch of new skincare products that I have been trying out recently that would all be fab additions to your summer skincare arsenal. This is going to be a fairly lengthy post (by my standards anyway) so no chit chat, let's get straight into it! I...
Now that we are really in the thick of things, winter-wise, I'm sure that your skin is feeling the effects. I know mine certainly was until I received these three products in the mail. Wondering which winter products you need in your life? Keep on reading, and HOORAY,...
A budget skincare brand that works is always a great find and I’m always on the lookout for a new “must-have” product that won’t cost me an arm and a leg. When these Celltone skincare products arrived a little while ago, I was so excited! Was my new favourite product...
Popping on a face mask twice a week is such a wonderfully relaxing experience for me and I've made it a bit of a ritual. There is nothing better than soaking in the bath (don't worry - we use the bath water for a host of different things around the house the next day)...
It seems as though plant actives are the new "must have" ingredient recently. The most recent addition to my beauty arsenal is the Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective mask, although I didn't end up using it on my face... The newest addition to the advanced skincare brand,...
New product launches, is there anything better? Definitely not, especially when it's from one of my favourite skincare brands! Lets get straight into what Dermalogica is bringing your way... HydrablurTM Primer: If you’re a Dermalogica fundi, you’ll know that they...
There’s been a definite emphasis on supporting local businesses and incorporating cruelty-free products into our daily lives recently. These are definitely two causes that I can get behind which made me pretty darn excited to try out some Skoon skincare products. A...
Aaaaaah, I love new product launches. Its like my drug of choice, I can’t not have what’s new on the market. When the Dermalogica invite landed in my inbox a while ago I was pretty excited, that excitement only increased when I realised that Dr Diana Howard all the...
I think I will always be on the search for those elusive miracle products that will magically transform my skin from drab to fab. Surely they must be out there somewhere?! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to have a Lamelle facial as well as try out the...
I hope that you didn’t think that I had wondered off and gotten lost somewhere, never to return. No, no, I just took a bit of time off last week to spend with my Mom who was in the country for a little while. But I’m back in full force! I’m sure a few of you have...
You’ve probably noticed the 2 and a bit week gap between the last [skincare 101] post and this one...oooops sorry! Sometimes I get so excited about another post that I just push other things back because I just can’t wait. Anyway, we are back on track and are tackling...
