I had every intention of getting this "what to pack in your hospital bag" post up before Maia arrived but life got busy and I just didn't get around to it. Just as well though because now I can tell you not only what to pack, but also what not to pack, things that I...
If you're anything like me, you always want to know whats new from Dermalogica! I stalk their international social media accounts to see what should be hitting our shores soon and the past few months have not disappointed! There have been two new releases recently,...
You all know I'm a big Dermalogica junkie, and so when Dermalogica announced the launch of the Daily Superfoliant, I was really excited. Not only to see what this new powder resurfacer was all about, but also to see how it differed from the Daily Microfoliant....
I'm sure you've seen images of the Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil floating around on social media. I certainly had and was definitely intrigued when I went to the media launch a few weeks ago to find our more about this facial oil. It's always a treat going to the...
I mentioned a few posts ago (I can't quite remember where) that for the past few months I've been opting to wear BB creams instead of foundation. I'm not sure if it's because of the crazy heat waves that we had or just because BB creams feel lighter on the skin but my...
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...
When the clock struck midnight on 31 December, I’m sure we all had some resolutions or goals in mind for the new year. Mine is to be more tolerant, which may seem simple to most but it’s definitely something that I struggle with from time to time. Anyway, it’s great...
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...
June was a decidedly better month than May – hooray! I have a few ongoing love affairs with some products and have one that I am still undecided about. I’ve really tried to whittle things down a bit because I can ramble on and on in these types of posts. Here we go......
Welcome to the third installment of [skincare 101]! If you’re new around here, we’ve already covered cleansers and toners. Today we are going to tackle exfoliators, a crucial step when it comes to healthy skin, especially during winter. We read about exfoliators and...
There’s nothing like a new blog series to perk up a somewhat dreary Monday morning, am I right? I’m quite excited about this new addition because it feeds right into my absolute passion. As I’m sure you’ve picked up, I’m just a teeny weeny bit obsessed with everything...
To be honest, I would rather forget about May. Between the disappointments, doctors offices, heartache and hospital stays it was a pretty rubbish month. But I’m all about silver linings at the moment and what better way to make myself feel better about the month of...
It feels like the mid-year slump is hitting us early this year (or is it just me?) which makes every weekday seem a bit more blah than usual. The darker mornings are not helping either. When it comes to hating life because of a bad day, I am the champion! Not even...
This past Saturday I attended the Dermalogica consumer day at their concept store in The Zone, Rosebank. It was such a great afternoon learning about their new high performance products and being spoilt with an incredible microzone treatment. Dermalogica is a...
We all have different budgets and sometimes, some months are a bit tighter financially than other months. But that’s no reason for our skin care routine to suffer. I’ve put together a bit of a list of products to suit everyone's budget and still deliver on quality....
Those of you that deal with an oily skin every day know the drill - 11am shine check in the bathroom mirror, grasping at tissues to blot away the oil, a slip and slide on the sides of your nose by lunch time and your friends (or husband in my case) commenting...
