That time I got eyebrows
On March 24, 2015 In Beauty
Late last year I was very excited to go to my 1st Tweezerman launch. I’ve been using their tweezers (& nothing else!) for a while & since I bought them haven’t needed to replace them – and I’m talking some 6/7 years on… I watched Gillian from BrowXpress do a makebrow-over on a terribly shy lady & I wished
Lush’s Love Lettuce
On February 26, 2015 In Beauty
So a “fresh face mask” was a new concept for me and that alone meant I had to try it. I also (still) have a little obsession with exfoliators (face & body) so obviously I asked the lovely Lush people for a recommendation on an exfoliating face mask. Enter Love Lettuce. As soon as
Lush’s Sympathy for the Skin
On February 20, 2015 In Beauty
On one of my last trips to the coast (I think it was Durban) I walked into Lush and asked for (amongst other many, many other things) for the most moisturising body cream they had. I was handed Lush’s Sympathy for the Skin. The name pretty much convinced me. I lifted the lid, took a
A month with Kiehl’s
On October 3, 2014 In Beauty
Last week I shared that I swapped out my skin care for Kiehl’s last month (& half of the previous month really). I’ve split my reviews over 2 posts so if you missed part 1 looking at the cleansers, start over here. Overall no major complaints on any of these products and my skin took to
Olay Regenerist’s – 3 point super cleansing system
On September 26, 2014 In Beauty
This is an unexpected review for me. I was gifted the Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Cleansing System last month and as someone who used to use the brand (not Regenerist though, their Complete Care range – I was young then!) I was intrigued to see this addition to the Olay line up. Of course the first thing
Cleaning up with Kiehl’s Calendula
On September 25, 2014 In Beauty
Last month I started a new skin care regime after attending a really compelling Kiehl’s launch. That launch was for 3 moisturizers and I found myself wishing I had some cleaners to go with it so that I could be on a full Kiehl’s regime. So when these two arrived shortly after, I wanted to ululate. I’ll be sharing
How I lost my teeth & you don’t need to I Oral B Pro Expert review
On September 10, 2014 In Beauty
When Oral B (aka the band most dentists trust) got in touch to ask if I’d be one of three bloggers to do their closed trial for an upcoming launch it couldn’t have been 5 minutes before I replied “hell yes!“. I became a fan of the brand some 7/8 years ago when I was gifted their then top of range
Lush’s Stepping Stone
On September 5, 2014 In Beauty
I’m quite pedantic about the condition of my feet so when I got my Lush stash a while back I was sure to ask them specifically what products they did for feet. They do apparently do a foot cream but it was out of stock (& still is online – is it that good?),
Must watch: How the sun sees you
On September 2, 2014 In Beauty
As soon as I saw this video online I knew I was going to share it here. Just a few days later someone sent it to me as well & I took that as a sign that I really had to… I’m not writing this post because Spring/Summer is coming but because this is something I
Lush’s Aqua Mirabilis (what a mouthful!?)
On August 28, 2014 In Beauty
I recently told you about Lush’s Rub Rub Rub exfoliator (it’s a goodie!) & this inspired me to try out another one of their exfoliators, Aqua Mirabilis which translated loosely means water miracle/wonder. Looks a bit like the underside of a tennis biscuit hey? It’s about that size too… Aqua Mirabilis fits nicely in your hand, is about
