New Summer Scents: Floral, Fruity and Feminine (Part 1)

New Summer Scents: Floral, Fruity and Feminine (Part 1)

With a new season, comes the opportunity to not only update your wardrobe, but change your mood. And what better way to do that than with a new summer scent? If you love soft, feminine, floral or fruity scents that scream summer and leave you with that feeling of spring in your step, perhaps one (or more) of these new scents will be just the fragrance you’re looking for to capture your summer 2015/16 mood. Fruity and Sparkling Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet (50ml EDP R895) launched this September and is the latest addition to the Emporio Armani Diamonds “It” Girl collection. A line of fragrances that pays tribute to cool, dazzling stones and captures the vibrant colours and sparkle of the young, “Emporio Armani Woman.” It’s a scent that is bright, young and dazzling, with prominent fruity notes of passion fruit, lychee and raspberry, combined with sweet elements of praline, vanilla and patchouli. YUM! Escada Joyful Moments (50ml EDP R865) is another sparkling and floral-fruity fragrance that’s creation was to inspire the thought of savouring the indulgent moments of joy in life. It bursts to life with sweet notes of lychee, followed by clean notes of pink peony and a drop of honeycomb that adds warmth and playfulness. Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Intense (50ml R1300) is Lancome’s newest fragrance, launched in September and the latest…

Lancome Hypnôse Volume-à-Porter Mascara

Lancome Hypnôse Volume-à-Porter Mascara

I have this thing with mascara… I love it! It’s the one essential makeup must-have I just can’t, make that, won’t live without! It’s fair to say that the Lancôme Hypnôse mascaras are among my faves. They just seem to get it right, better and better with each new version, and the new Hypnôse Volume-à-Porter, Cashmere Sensation Volume Mascara is without a doubt one fabulous mascara. It’s the new Mascara for the woman who understands the power of her gaze! In it’s jewel-like lacquered bottle, Hypnôse Volume-à-Porter Mascara maintains all of its mesmerising curves, updated in sleek gunmetal grey packaging. In a single stroke it dresses the lashes in an elegant slick of volume, creating the blackest black, lushest lashes that still look incredibly natural and above all, feel comfortable! For me, I have okay length lashes (although I wouldn’t mind them being a bit longer ya know), but they are dead straight with no curve – something I always look for in a mascara, since my lids  face downwards, and I NEED the curve and the volume to open up my eyes. This mascara does a great job at coating the lashes and giving each one a lift. It separates each lash evenly, without a single clump, but at…

Currently Testing Skincare: Recover, Repair, Illuminate and Exfoliate

Currently Testing Skincare: Recover, Repair, Illuminate and Exfoliate

So let’s talk about something on everyones lips right now! Well, if you’re in South Africa at least… the cold! Dang! Baby, its cold outside! And your skin is probably feeling it to! I know mine is, or was at least – but I’ve added some new steps to my skincare regime and currently testing some great products to help skin recover, repair, illuminate and exfoliate this winter… 1. Lancome Advanced Genifique YEUX Light-Pearl Lancome make some of the best eye-care products in the world and their new baby, Advanced Genifique YEUX Light-Pearl is brand new eye brightening system that is simply amazing! Infused with light and a new flexible applicator (love it), this illuminating eye contour serum will add new dimension to your eye contours. It’s so special, the formulation is protected by seven patents! Regular use has shown that within a month, eyes look visibly bigger and those nasty eye bags, reduced. I’ve only been using it for about a week, and I can already see an improvement in my eye contours. Granted, I’ve been a naughty beauty blogger and haven’t been very good with applying eye care, so it was a bit of a happy shock to my eye contours that I started…

Sun Smart, Bright Skin Products for 2015

Today, I wanted to share some exciting new (and a trusty old) sun smart, brightening skin products for summer. If you’re skin has taken a beating after the holidays, been exposed to the hot climate, or if you feel that you may be in need of some “brightening up”, then look no further than my tried, tested and loved skin treats… Dermalogica PowerBright TRx First up, Dermalogica’s new range called, PowerBright TRx™. This range offers a C-12 Pure Bright Serum (R1200,00), a Pure Light SPF 50 (R895,00) Day Cream and their Pure Night (R1080) Night Cream. In essence, a complete system with powerful, brightening properties to tackle hyper pigmentation and dark spots caused by UV damage, age and hormones.

PowerBright TRx is designed to be layered onto the skin, day and night for maximum benefit. So you would use it as a system; applying the serum under your day cream with SPF in the mornings and layering the night cream over your serum at night. The range absorbs beautifully into the skin, with the night cream being slightly richer and totally…
