Review: Filorga Nutri-Filler Lips

Review: Filorga Nutri-Filler Lips

I’ve become increasingly aware of how badly I treat my lips. All the trying and testing I’ve been doing, along with the long wearing lip products I’ve been into lately, plus the fact that the season is changing, has left them feeling a little neglected. No more thanks to the new Nutri-Filler Lips from one of my favourite skincare brands, Filorga.

6 in 1 Multi-Corrective Eye Cream

6 in 1 Multi-Corrective Eye Cream

Introducing the latest skin innovation from FILORGA, the new EYES-ABSOLUTE six in one multi corrective eye treatment! I don’t think I need to tell you gals how much I LOVE this skincare range, but this little gem is just another reason to tell you again, how much I adore FILORGA! Being a completely skincare-focused range, and one that specialises in anti ageing, FILORGA are always top of their game when it comes to smart skincare that targets all the signs of skin ageing, to help you live in younger looking skin for longer. As we get older, our skin requires more TLC. Which means an overload of product layering to target and combat every concern under the sun. The problem with too much product layering can result in a filmy layer of skincare, products don’t “gel together” and my worst, is that it’s very time consuming! With the new EYES-ABSOLUTE, FILORGA have packed in six anti-aeging benefits so that you can get it all with just one eye cream!

Protect Your Skin Against Pollution

Protect Your Skin Against Pollution

We are all quite aware of how damaging UV rays are to our skin, but are you aware that while the sun may be the skins’ worst enemy, another enemy lurks; resulting in signs of premature ageing? This my friends is called pollution, and with pollution levels at the highest they’ve been in history, it is quickly becoming one of the most widespread threats to human health.

Filorga Time-Filler Eyes

Filorga Time-Filler Eyes

You’ve probably heard me rant and RAVE about Filorga’s amazing Time-Filler Ageing Cream? And just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, they bring out this little gem! Filorga Time-Filler Eyes! The ultimate anti-ageing and absolute correction eye cream! Praise the skin lords! To be honest, I am pretty lazy when it comes to using eye cream. Don’t ask why since I have no idea myself! But after testing this new product, I am back to being a full on eye-cream junkie, and I don’t think I ever want to go back! Like Filorga’s Time-Filler for your face, Time-Filler Eyes blew me away within the first couple of days. I mean, I don’t have any serious ageing issues with my eyes, and while mother nature is a hard contender to beat, I do believe that prevention is better than cure! What I noticed is that my eye lids, which are normally creased, filled up nicely and the dark circles (from hours blogging way into the night) were reduced. The biggest wow factor for me, was when I applied my eye makeup the next morning. My eye shadow went on far smoother and stayed on for much longer, without the need for eyeshadow primer. And that’s…

POND’S is one of those skincare brands that has been around for ages, with a trusted a loyal following. And even though they have been around for so long, they continue with cutting edge research to produce even more effective products using the latest technological advances – and at affordable prices!

My Filorga Favourites

My Filorga Favourites

Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts This is a really fantastic cleanser and doesn’t require any water. So if you suffer with sensitive skin, then this might be for you! To apply, all you need to do is put a small amount of product on a cotton disk and work it over your face. No rinsing necessary! Use another, clean cotton disk to remove any product that’s left over. You could also soak the cotton bud in Filorga’s Toning Lotion if you like that squeaky clean feeling. It leaves your face feeling moisturized straight after cleansing – which I like. It’s also great at removing makeup, but if you do heavily made up eyes, you may want to use an eye makeup remover beforehand, to ensure you get it all off. Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts combines cellular DNA precursors, collagen, elastin, omega 3 as well vitamins A, C and E. It’s designed to reconstruct the skin by focusing on the issues that cause your damage to cells and tissues in your face.   Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts Much like the Filorga Cleanser with Cell Extracts, Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts has been designed to protect the skin from aging and to target degenerative damage caused by the aging processes. Much…

Piz Buin Summer

Piz Buin Summer

The past week has been an absolute scorcher and I’ve been spending many blissful hours outside by the pool, soaking up the sun and working on my tan! Thankfully I had a whole bunch of sun protection goodies from Piz Buin to review I’ve always loved Piz Buin products; they all have a distinct, yet pleasant smell and the brand has been around since I can remember, so I trust them completely to keep me sun-smart safe. Piz Buin Active Long Lasting Spray This has got to be my favourite! I love aerosol sunscreens because I find them the easiest to apply, especially while you’re sitting on the beach, in the blistering heat. It has a non-greasy formula and is water and sweat resistant with a long lasting effect. I also love the high pressure of the aerosol when spayed, because it comes out nice and cold! Great for cooling down in the heat and an incentivized way to keep applying more protection. Piz Buin Tan Intensifier Spray If you’re a sun worshiper, like me, then you’ll love this one. A protecting spray that has been made with tanning in mind. While it protects the skin with UVA and UVB,…

Here comes the sun! Get sun smart with these face and body sunscreens

Here comes the sun! Get sun smart with these face and body sunscreens

Summer is here! Well, almost. Soon we’ll be ditching the boots and long sleeves for good, (at least I hope we will) and we’ll need to stock up on some sun smart products, to ensure we stay safe and protected all summer long! Check out our top picks for a sun smart summer for face and body… For the face Remember whether you’re spending time in the sun, catching a tan or plan to spend most of the day mostly under your umbrella, don’t leave the house without protection. Your face is exposed to sun rays pretty much all the time, regardless of whether the sun is shining or it’s overcast. For days on the beach, by the pool or when going for walks, a wide brim hat is a must! We love this floppy hat from Woolworths (R99.99). Your eyes need protection too! Don’t compromise style by investing in a pair of these trendy, blooming beautiful over sized sunnies from Dolce & Gabanna’s ‘Garden Party’ themed collection. Get them at Sunglass Hut (R2290). Protect the skin with an element barrier. Nimue Barrier is a dual skin barrier that helps to protect and strengthen the skin’s natural lipid barrier resistance…

Elizabeth Arden Prevage SPF 15 Ultra Anti-Aging Eye Moisturizer

Elizabeth Arden Prevage SPF 15 Ultra Anti-Aging Eye Moisturizer

If you’re looking for a super cool eye cream (and I do mean super cool), look no further than Elizabeth Arden‘s brand new PREVAGE Ultra Protection Anti-Aging Eye Moisturizer. It’s advanced Idebenone technology nourishes the delicate skin around the eye and you can feel it instantly. What I love about it is the little applicator it comes with. Its made of metal, with soft cushioning in the middle, so it wont damage your delicate eye area, but because it’s metal, it helps add a cooling effect which is great for taming down puffiness. Get it The entire PREVAGE range is available at Woolworths, Red Squares, Edgards, Foschini, Truworths and selected pharmacies. Price R795.00
