If you’re looking to spoil yourself with something beautiful, I’ve rounded up my seven favourite high-end beauty products, that are totally worth the splurge! Clarisonic Plus Yes, yes, I know! A Clarisonic is a pretty pricey beauty splurge, but trust me when I say there is nothing else like it on the market. Or at least, that I’ve tried anyway! If you’re planning on investing in one (remember Christmas is just around the corner so don’t forget to ask Santa) then I’d really recommend that you put your money towards the Clarisonic Plus.  It’s the Crème de la crème of Clarisonic’s and although it’s the most expensive option, the fact that it has two brush heads that you can use on your face and body, makes it worth it. I love using mine to cleanse all the makeup gunk off my face at night and I use my body brush to polish my shoulders and arms, which makes them feel soft and beautiful. To read more about this fabulous device, check out my blog post on it here. Price: R3499.00 Available at Stuttafords Chanel CC Cream Without a doubt, Chanel CC Cream is T-H-E best CC cream you will ever come across. I’ve tried a ton, and while there have been good…

It’s been an amazing four weeks of skin transformations thanks to Kiehl’s and the final results are in! I think we’re all pretty impressed with not only the texture of our skin, but the fact that we all still have loads of product left over. Even though these products are quite pricey, they are worth every penny because they work and they are so highly concentrated, that they last and last! Here’s a little more detail on how we’re all doing after four weeks on the Kiehl’s #ChangeYourSkin Challenge.. DIMI (33) says I am so, so glad that I got to take part in this challenge! Being a “beauty blogger” I get to try and test out many different skincare products, but it’s amazing to see the results for 28 days – start to finish! These two Kiehl’s products; Midnight Recovery Concentrate & Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate are just amazing! My skin has never looked better. After using the two religiously for four weeks, I can honestly say that they live up to their standards, and then some! I didn’t expect such good results in just four weeks. I’ve been battling with pigmentation for years, and this combo (I’ve used nothing else) has drastically reduced the appearance of those annoying patches. Yes,…

Three weeks down, one to go in the Kiehl’s 28 Day Change Your Skin Challenge and the results from my fab five and I are in! For the most part, we are all seeing good results. Two of my fab five are finding their skin a little oily after the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. My suggestion would be to use as little product as you need. It’s very easy to over-do product as we all think more is more, but in the case of high quality, highly concentrated products (like the MRC), less is always more. I myself “overdid” the oil in the first week, but since dropping down my dosage to three drops (instead of five) my skin has really started to soak it in. I also don’t use any moisturizer as I find I don’t need it. My skin gets enough moisture from the MRC, so I don’t feel the need to load on more product. Here’s a little more detail on how we’re all doing after week 3… DIMI (33) says Three weeks into this challenge and my skin is looking GLORIOUS! It has seriously never looked or felt so good! From my late 20’s I started using only high quality products on my face. Since your skin…

So, my fab five and I are into our second week of the Kiehl’s #ChangeYourSkin Challenge. And, judging by the feedback, including my own experience, these two products are a super award worthy combo! One thing more than half of us have noticed is how much easier it is to apply our makeup! Read on to discover how else our skin has changed after just two weeks… Dimi (33) says Let me start by saying that I am in LOVE! My skin is looking freaking fantastic! I can’t get over how great it looks, despite the massive shock it must’ve received going from Durban’s humid climate, to dry and itchy Joburg winters! I’ve been using the Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate twice a day (morning and night), followed by the Midnight Recovery Concentrate in the evening. I’ve fine tuned my routine to two pumps of the Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate and three to five drops of the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, which I found works best when “dabbed” into the skin. My skin is not oily at all, and even though I do have combination skin, I found that during the day, I haven’t felt any oiliness in my T-Zone. This is a huge plus for me, since my makeup is staying…

It’s been just over a week since my Fab Five and I started our Kiehl’s 28 Day #ChangeYourSkin challenge. Overall, the results have been positive and we all seem to be loving the powerful effects of this winning duo; Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Here’s a round up of how we’re all doing so far… Dimi (33) says I’ve tried to be good with this challenge, and use as little “extra” lotions and potions, so that I can give these two products a real go! My routine in the morning includes cleansing with my Filorga Foaming Cleanser, then applying two pumps of Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate on my skin. I follow up with moisturiser. At the moment, I’m using Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Tint, since it has an SPF of 30 and it’s a good idea to always wear sunscreen, especially when you’re using Vitamin C on your skin. At night, I have a similar routine; I pre cleanse (to remove the day’s makeup) with Filorga Skin Perfusion Cleansing Gel followed by my foaming cleanser. Then, two pumps of Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate and four drops of Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate layered over that. At night, I skip out on moisturizer since my skin feels hydrated enough. I absolutely LOVE…

Today is the start of challenge day! Together with my fab challengers, we’re starting a challenge to change our skin in 28 days with Kiehl’s! The two products that are going to change our skin include the iconic Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate as well as Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate. We’ll be adding these two products to our daily skincare regime for 28 days, and over this period, the five of us will be sharing our experience on StyleScoop! It’s not so much a before and after challenge, but rather a tried and tested routine on how these two products have improved our skin. I started with the Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate this morning and can see an instant glow, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens after 28 days! Ok, so let me introduce you to my challengers… Dimi Me! I’m 33 years old and have never had a major problem with my skin, but I do suffer with pigmentation that drives me mad! I’ve tried everything under the sun, but it just wont go away! I’d love to make it disappear, however, I’m willing settle on blurring it out! I’ve also noticed, the older I get, the more difficult it is to keep…

I’m taking part in the Kiehl’s #ChangeYourSkin 28 Day Challenge and I’m not doing it alone! Since moving to Joburg, my skin has gone from being beautifully hydrated (thanks to Durban’s warmer weather), to dry and depressed thanks to the cold, dry weather in Jozi. I need a change, so I am keen to get started. I’ve been asked to invite FIVE fabulous StyleScoop readers to join me on this challenge. If you want to change your skin and have been looking to try out Kiehl’s products, then read on to find out how you can be one of my fab five! The Challenge To change your skin in 28 days! How Each of my five readers will receive 2 full sized Kiehl’s products that will help you change your skin. You’ll get to try out the iconic Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (R615) as well as Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate (R645). The idea is to try out these two products for 28 days and document your changes every week for the duration of the challenge. The challenge starts on the 28th July 2014. I’ll be posting weekly updates sharing my experience and that of my five readers…

Kiehl’s is an internationally renowned skin, hair and body brand for both men and women. Although it has been around since 1851, it is fairly new to the South African Market, having only launched in SA in September last year. Being the beauty junkie I am, I’ve been dying to get my hands on some of their products to test them out. I was sent a few products from the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Range as well as some products to try from their Midnight Recovery Range. The products I received were a really great size – perfect for me to pack in my travel bag when I went to Cape Town earlier this month. Sadly though, I’ve been informed that the travel sized products will be discontinued, but still great products nonetheless. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser I am very much a “cleanser snob”. I’m very wary about trying out most cleansers (especially when they say “for all skin types”), because my skin can become sensitive if I use the wrong one. Over the years of beauty testing, I’ve discovered that I am anti soap cleansers and very pro ones that are cream, gel, milk or foam cleansers. I was quite impressed by the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser, considering…
