What if I told you that you can use the Skin Creamery Everyday Cream all over your Face and Body?

What if I told you that there was a product that you could slather all over you, from head to toe. Literally. A product that softens and smoothens your hands, and at the same time, light enough to use on your face. Wouldn’t that be the perfect moisturiser for someone with time they couldn’t afford to waste or spend? Wouldn’t that be value for money?!

Incidentally, this product exists! Yes, it surprises me as much as it does you. I know what you’re thinking “How on earth can a moisturiser for the hands and body be suitable for the face?! You must be joking!”

Well, Skin Creamery isn’t. The Skin Creamery Everyday Cream promises to do just that – be the all-in-one moisturiser for face and body. I was as sceptical as they come, as you well know, so when I was presented with this by Skin Creamery’s local distributor Savanna Goodness, I confess, I couldn’t help a snicker of derision. Yet, I was curious enough to try it, and I’m glad I did! (You’ll be glad I did too coz now there’s a discount code for you 😛 )

Save and Splurge on coloured eyeliner: Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof and Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner

August 19, 2016 Paris B 30 Comments

I go through phases with my makeup, and I’m currently in the “lazy girl” phase. I’ve been keeping things light and easy (with emphasis on easy!) with my makeup, so when I wanted to cut back on eyeshadow, I decided to take a very simple way out. I’d wear just coloured eyeliner!

It pretty much started out because I was in a hurry one day and didn’t want to spend time putting on eyeshadow. I do have my go-to palettes and products, but you know, sometimes, even those can fail you. So, I found myself reaching for a Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof eyeliner in a bright blue from one of the past seasonal collection, to add a pop of colour to the eyes.

Little did I realise that it was the start of a new obsession for me! LOL! 😀 I did end up with a save and splurge option so I wanted to share them with you. If you have brands with coloured eyeliner that you love, please share it with me? 🙂

Got it on a whim but keeping it as a staple – the miracle of the SU:M37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick

There are some things you come across, pick up on a whim and then, wonder why you’d never heard of it before, because it’s so good! Well, let you not make the same mistake I did, because you NEED this SU:M37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick. Ok, I say need, you probably only really want it.

But if you’re a skincare addict, like me you probably NEED this! 😀

I picked this up on a bit of a whim one day, when I discovered that iHerb now carries a small selection of Korean skincare products. It’s a small selection and perhaps, some items aren’t as cheap as they are on other sites, but I browsed nonetheless. That’s when my eyes fell on this very interesting product – a cleansing stick.

Cleansing stick. I’d never come across something like this! Naturally, into the shopping basket it went, and when I received it, I quickly put it into rotation. Come on, wouldn’t you?! 😀

If high coverage foundation’s your thing, the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Makeup Foundation is brilliant

August 15, 2016 Paris B 19 Comments

It’s easy to get caught up in the lure of all that’s new and wonderful when you’re immersed in the world of beauty. As bloggers, it happens all the time because that’s what we’re often fed – the new. So, when a long time reader, pondsandleaves, steered me not-so-gently in the direction of something not so new, I thought it was a good idea to see how good it was.

The product in question was a foundation – the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Makeup foundation. For some reason, this one had slipped right under my foundation radar (yes, I have a foundation radar – it’s one makeup item I tend to gravitate towards) and I was very intrigued!

What the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Makeup foundation claims is a luminous and hydrated visage, with medium to full coverage. I will attest to the coverage. I don’t usually wear high coverage foundation, so it took me a while to get used to this one. As it turns out though, I think it’s a brilliant foundation and deserves a little more hype! Come on, give it up for the future! 😛
