NEW VANILLA BUTTERCREAM LABELLO
07 February 2018
Hey Ladies!
Are you
ready for this week’s beauty scoop?
Well,
grab a cup of tea and sit back, cause you in for a treat.
Labello
has launched a brand new Vanilla Buttercream lip balm just in time to get your
lips in top shame for Valentine’s Day. I have been using it all weekend long
and it certainly smells deli'sh, it was actually kinda difficult to stop myself
from licking my lips every time. The vanilla scent and taste reminds me of
“Ouma’s groot gebak” or in my case my favourite aunt’s sweet treats on a Sunday
afternoon tea. Yet, this is even better because Labello’s extra care formula
moisturizes lips and protects it against the weather, using natural oils like
Shea butter.
You
can now find this scent at your nearest supermarket, Clicks and Dis-chem Pharmacies and retails at R 24.99 per 5.5ml. BUT WAIT!
Labello and Ruby Box are currently hosting an amazing competition.
You could stand a chance of winning R 2500.00 by simply voting for your favourite vanilla treat here.

My LauGem Experience
20 November 2017
Hey
beauties!
Hope
you ladies are doing fab and if not, then I hope this short review will leave
you inspired to get “beautified”.
For
most of my life I have been suffering of having short brittle nails which was
mostly because I had the habit of biting my nails. During my teen years I would
battle to get rid of that nasty habit, but eventually I did. My nails then
started to form shape and grew to a maintainable length, which I like. However,
during season changes my skin goes dry and my finger nails and hair misbehaves
until the weather has settled. So, for a
few weeks my nails has healed with no sign of chipping, that’s why I decided to
get a gel overlay on my natural nails
two Saturdays ago. I also knew I had an event coming up and wanted to
look a little more polished which was not a problem because; Lauren from LauGem
nail bar invited me to try their services. You might think… “How was their
service?” Well Darling, keep on reading. Winx
Lauren is a professional and
passionate nail technician who is amazingly friendly and warm hearted. She made
sure I was comfortable before starting with the treatment. At first, I was tad
indecisive of colours and styles for my nails but Lauren was open to ideas and
also allowed her creativity to flow.
We eventually jointly decided
that a chrome effect will compliment a light greyish colour I chose. Lauren
showed me some of her previous nail art that lead me to decide on a design that
will make a statement. She mostly uses Gel-It on client’s nails which is a
well-recognised brand and used by most nail techs. However, I personally don’t
like the brand as it doesn’t stick for too long and chips after a while. I have
had this set for over two weeks and today my nails are starting to show signs
of peeling and my thumb and , it looks beautiful! Having this done on my own
nails makes it more comfortable and less damaging. I personally also believe that
if the product is applied correctly you will have more benefits out of it and
Lauren did just that!
LauGem prices are reasonable
and worth every cent. A set like mine will cost you about R300.00 including a
hand treatment consisting of exfoliating scrub, 15 min massage and moisturising.
If you do get tired of the same nail colour, you could book a soak too for R 55.00.
LauGem
is situated in Diepriver Cape Town and maintains an inspiring Instagram
account. Check it out here. Thank you for reading!

Blessings

Summer is about to hit us and there is no better way to be prepared than to stock up on useful must have beauty products. Kangol's latest summer goodies landed on my vanity table and I thought of showing all of you what's new.
This season my beauty routine will defiantly be more natural (keeping the heat in mind) with a minimal splash of colour either on my nails, lips or eyes. I will be creating a look with these products and upload it on my Instagram feed. I have however tested the "paradise party" nail polish (gold glitter in the picture below) and I absolutely fell in love. It's perfect over any of the other bolder summer colours or even a nude nail polish.
You can try it too! Pop in to your nearest Truworths store and if your purchase is more than R350.00 you will receive this beach bag absolutely free. Which is great because you were going to buy a new beach bag anyway right... I know I was. winx

YOUGHAZI BEAUTY HOSPITALITY COLLECTION - REVIEW.
18 September 2017
Hey Guys and Happy Monday!
It’s a beautiful spring day in
the “Mother City” and while typing this I am snacking on a delicious fruit
salad. Topped with some crunchy almonds and blueberries, putting me in a summer
mood.
Having that said, I recently
popped into the Youghazi Beauty Bar in Woodstock for a 60-minute full body
massage. It was amazing! And refreshed me for the season ahead along with their
hair and bath products. Ever since I visited them I have been using their
products which I LOVE, but not only me Justin too. Whenever, I moisturise my
hands with their “No 6 Refresh” body creme it smells so divine… he even thinks
I am spritzing on some perfume. Speaking
of which, I have also been using their refresh fragrance and I think I will be
making it my signature scent. The hospitality range are manufactured in cute
little 50ml bottles perfect for my hand bag, to keep in the car or to add something
extra to the bathroom when having guests over.
Their products are made with
natural ingredients such as aloe, ylang ylang oil, etc. and each range has its
own sense of freshness. Youghazi is a proudly South African brand with a lab
based in Cape Town and founded by an award-winning entrepreneur, Rushana Meyer.
This brand has the ability to make you feel and smell good, but that’s not all.
Youghazi also empowers individuals by giving them the ability to sell their products
and register as agents.
RATING:
5/5

Kangol Matte Mousse Foundation Review Ft. Video
11th August 2017
Hey beauties!
I hope that you are well and
ready for the weekend. Before we sail into that, let me tell you all you need
to know about Kangol’s newest lightweight matte mousse foundation. I spoke
about it a few weeks ago on my Instagram story when I received it. I have been
using it and made the following observations.
Application:
Mousse foundation applications
differ slightly from how you would apply a liquid foundation, mainly because
the product differs in texture. Usually, with a liquid foundation you would dab
the product with a beauty blender. However, I found that using a foundation
brush is much easier with this particular foundation. It is packaged in a jar which makes accessing
the product easy especially when it starts running low, but still mess
free. I have included how I apply this
product in my video below.
Texture:
A thick texture which stays
true to the word “mousse” in every way by being soft and light on the skin.
Kangol’s formula of ingredients makes it very easy to remove and able to give
you full coverage that is required to leave skin flawless.
Benefits:
This foundation is perfect if
you have an oily skin like me and it will allow you to decrease the shine that
you might get when using a liquid foundation. I have also found that with it, I
don’t have to apply any press powder when initially applying and throughout the
course of the day. This is great and something I like, because it means you
would be saving on time and money. I struggle with shine the most during summer
and no I am not speaking about that healthy glow, but that unwanted shine when
the weather feels like 40 degrees lol. Therefore, I think that this foundation
will be my go-to- thing during the coming summer season. It also contains SPF
15.
Kangol has released a range of
four shades that is available at all Truworths stores nationwide for only
R159.95.

Avon Advance Techniques Supreme Oils Shampoo and Conditioner review.
19th April 2017
Hey Huns!
I hope your second day of
the four day week has been off to an awesome start! As for me, I have been grinding the grindstone
and sacrificed most of my days over the Easter holidays. However, to keep in balance, I thought I
should write a little and think it’s the ideal time to share my latest hair
care products.
We are transitioning from
summer into autumn and everything is changing. My hands are dry, my lips are
dry and I can’t help to believe that my hair will soon be going into some kind
of transformation too. That’s why I love changing up products especially in
between seasons and more so, because my MK Brazilian treatment I had done last
year is slowly growing out. After I made
this discovery, I thought that it would be a perfect time to give Avon’s
Supreme Oils Shampoo and Conditioner a go! I have been using it for a couple of
weeks now and I have been receiving so many hair compliments, I thought I
should let you in on it.
The Avon team sent over
their full Advance Techniques shampoo and conditioner range a while ago and
after I read the catalogue I immediately knew that I would want to try the
Supreme oils set first. It’s
manufactured for dry hair which is perfect for my current state as we move into
winter. The shampoo’s marketing material guarantees to restore intense
nourishment to hair, making it look smoother, stronger and healthier. And guess what! It does exactly that along
with the conditioner, which leaves my hair soft and hydrated. I usually shampoo
my hair twice because, one shampoo is to strip all the excess oils and dirt
from my hair and the second to wash and polish. Yet, I have discovered that by
the time I do my second shampoo using this range it’s usual not necessary. This
is an indication that the product will last longer and save me some time while
washing too. However, on the flip side, because I naturally have an oily scalp
my hair tends to become greasy by day three after washing it and usually this
happens on day four. Even though during this season my hair feels dry at first
before it goes back to its natural state and becomes dirty quicker than usual.
Which I guess is a small price to pay for hair that’s smoother for longer.
BUT
THAT’S NOT ALL!

Scarlett Johansson- Oscars 2017
Inspired MakeUp Look ft. Kangol ZA
3 April 2017
Hey Beauty lovers, I’m happy
to share my latest make-up review and look with you using two of Kangol’s eyeshadow
palettes.
A couple of weeks ago I spotted
Kangol posting about their favourite make-up looks worn by a few actors to the
Oscars on Instagram. I immediately felt like recreating some of them and unfortunately
only got to do this one look. However, I thoroughly enjoyed only using Kangol
products and playing around with various colours to create something natural. Scarlett
is known for her soft and whimsical beauty looks which are super easy to
recreate or even jazz up a bit. I used the lightest pinkish -nude shade in the
“primal” eyeshadow palette to prime my eyelid moving from the inner corners of
my eye in a windscreen wiper motion (see Instagram video). Thereafter, I used
the bronze shade in Kangol’s newly launched eyeshadow palette called “Nocturnal”
to define my crease and the light pink shade to highlight my upper-crease. To
complete everything I added some blush to my cheeks, liquid matte lip stick in the shade "whispers" and the “wonder” mascara
to define my lashes.Lately, I can’t live without
tote bags and thankfully received another one with this press kit. I love that
it’s stylish and super easy to handle for a girl on-the-go. In my opinion Kangol
products are always reasonably priced and a freebie is always added with a purchase
over R250.00 (don’t we all love free stuff lol.) I would recommend their nail
enamels which last a while and their mascaras too. The textures of the
eyeshadows are quite light and needs more than one application to blend in
well.
All kangol products are available from Truworths stores.

Little "Lace" Dress by Avon Fragrance Review
14 February 2017
Happy Valentine's Day my
lovlies!
I hope that someone will
make you feel extra special today or that you may go the extra mile to make
someone else smile. After all, beyond the teddies and chocs that’s what this day
is ultimately all about. I have tried out a brand new perfume by Avon over this
past weekend and have to tell you all about it.
Little Lace Dress is the
type of fragrance which is ideal for this Valentine's Day, any evening out with
Bae or even if you’re simply finding yourself in a flirtatious mood. Its
timeless elegance will have him or her fall in love with you all over again.
This fruity perfume has a feminine scent which comes from a wide blend of ingredients
like blackcurrant, jasmine touched by Indonesian bark patchouli, vanilla and
musk. It had me after the first spritz and I am only keeping it for very special
occasions. I even asked Justin his opinion and he likes it and gave his stamp
of approval. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous as you can see in these
images below… I hope you agree? It’s also the perfect size to pop into my
handbag. I own a number of Avon perfumes and I can honestly say that the scent
lasts all day long, which is exactly what I need from any perfume. However, I
do have a problem of not smelling it if I wear one scent continuously, but this
occurs with any other perfume I use. Therefore, I try to use a different scent
for every day from various brands so that I don’t get immune to any smell.
This perfume sells for
R370.00 and has an accompanying body lotion and a purse size spray for R71.90
and R115.00 respectively. However, if you place your order for the 50ml Eau Du
Perfume this month you can get it for a discounted price of R209.00 and that’s
not all! You can now buy the full set for only R259.00 from your Avon
representative or visit their website here.
Thank You for reading.

30th November 2016
Hey Beauties
On Thursday, 24th
November 2016 I visited the Bionic Hair and Beauty salon which is better known
as a one-stop-beauty shop. This establishment has been in the industry for more
that fourteen years and growing by the minute. Bionic is owned by two strong business
women who are also twin sisters, Rihanna and Rushana. These beautiful salon
queens know exactly what they want to achieve and by the looks of it, nothing
will be able to stop them. They invited me over to try the Micro Keratin treatment which is the newest Brazilian treatment
that has hit our South African shores. I have included more about this
treatment below under “my experience”, for now you can read up on each aspect
of the salon in more detail.
Staff:
As you might know the salon industry is female dominated
and most of Bionics’ stylists and therapists are women. They are well spoken,
very welcoming and friendly, well skilled, very sales driven and portray good
team spirit.
Services,
Treatments and Equipment:
Bionic offers a wide range of services
that’s why it’s known as a one-stop-shop. Services ranging from laser hair
removal treatment, to foot peels, to various manicures and pedicures, to
grooming, various massage treatments, both male and female haircuts, permanent
hair straightener, tinting and the list is endless. But if you are not in the mood
for anything fancy then try their wash and blow; I am sure you will enjoy the
head massage too. Bionic makes it easier for a busy woman like you and I to
stock up on the best after-care/home care hair products, because they offer a wide
range of world renowned products along with styling tools, that can be
purchased from them while you visit.
Location:
Situated at 10 Tulbagh Road, Monte
Vista Cape Town. Your point of connection to the salon would be from the N1 City
shopping centre which is 10 minutes away. If you are mobile and unsure about
how to navigate your way, first try your GPS
and if you still find yourself stranded try calling the salon for directions. However,
if you are not mobile and find yourself in transit (public transport) try
traveling to N1 City Mall. Then walk over the bridge and you will find an Engen
Garage on your left and a Shoprite supermarket on your right. At this point I
would suggest you ask around at the garage for further directions or call the
salon which is 2 minutes away. Bionic
also has various pop-up-stores at most Edgars branches around Cape Town’s leading
shopping malls, where you can stock up on hair care products and styling tools
using your Edgars Club card.
Added
benefits and Pricing:
We
all like “freebies” right? Well at Bionic this comes freely lol. Yes, from sipping
on a delicious coffee while getting your hair done to gaining rewards. However,
with this rewards system you don’t gain points! You are able to receive cash
back with every purchase (see Bionics’ website for more info). I personally
think their price ranges are reasonable comparing to the great service I received.
With massive voucher specials or cyber Monday deals on products, tools and hair
care you are guaranteed to win.
My
Experience and Rating:
My overall experience was great and I would certainly be
back for a colour treatment in the near future. The salon is situated a tad out
of my way, but I guess it’s worth the sacrifice. I loved how efficient the service
was and the advice that I received was professional and saved me from cutting
my hair. I was experiencing a chemical cut which means my hair was extremely
damaged and every time I brushed my hair the floor or my clothing would be
covered with it. I was really worried and thought I was facing health issues,
but Bioinic staff suggested that the MK Brazilian treatment would be all I need.
Up until now my hair reduction has reduced drastically and my blow-dry/style
time has reduced by 30 minutes. This means I now have more time to be my
beautiful self.
Rating: 8 out of 10

Tis the season...Summer is ''Full Bloom"
18 November 2016
Amidst me doing my makeup of the
day I heard a knock on the door and it’s a delivery guy. Being a bit sceptical
to open the door and looking super ridiculous with a half done face I go off anyway, to accept a new package from Kangol.
Packed with a matte lippie in the
shade Sunkissed which is perfect for a natural day time look. I used it
immediately and it lasted a couple of hours. This lipstick is smooth and soft
like a balm unlike, many other matte lipsticks it feels like there is nothing
on your lips. The rest of the package consisted of a wonder definition lash
mascara, the primal eyeshadow palette and red lip gloss which might just be my
summer go to cosmetics this season.
This summer will be about keeping
it natural with a bold statement lip. I also received these gorgeous nail
colours in four season blue and Beverly Hills yellow and retails at R65,00
each. I used both nail enamels to give my inner nail tech a-go and created this
nail art (scroll down) at first attempt. So, you can only imagine how easy it is meaning, you
can certainly do it too! I used some
tape, silver nail polish as well as a top coat of my own to set this design and
it lasted for more than a week. Find some of your best Kangol summer beauty steals at a Truworths store closest to you and show off your fab nails too.

New John Frieda In-Shower Colour Treatment Range Review
5 October 2016
Hey
Beauties!
Finally,
we can see that summer is upon us and I am sure you will agree with me that our
hair will have to “look on fleek”, because our outfits are going to be kept
simple and minimal.More
importantly, I always feel that a new season calls for a newer and fresher me.
Thankfully, the amazing rubybox.co.za team sent over this new John Frieda
product. These in-shower colour treatments are manufactured in a number of
variances, but I specifically decided to use the Brilliant Brunette in visibly
lighter shade. This you can hear and learn more about in the YouTube Video
accompanying this review above.
My immediate thoughts about this product was that it is a
major time saver and very easy to use. I absolutely love the packaging as well
as the applicators on the bottles/ tubes.My mom and I both treated our hair
with this products and love how it smells. She used the visibly deeper shade in
the brilliant brunette colour range and even mentioned that it smells like
“perfume” lol. Anyway, my impression about this product is that it’s more of
a natural colour treatment than an actual colouring product like the average
hair dye. I did not receive a major colour change, but I am thoroughly happy
with the amazing shine, softness and strength my hair has after using this
product. It can not only be used on natural hair, but coloured hair like mine and used on highlights or lowlights. This in-shower colour treatment is perfect
to use once a month to keep your natural hair colour looking vibrant.
This product can be purchased at your nearest Clicks store and further reviews can be viewed on the rubybox web page here. A side note from me would be that reading the
instructions on the package will guide you very well and
maximise your results. winx
This is a picture snapped on the same day before I used the product.
An after picture
You can probably notice the lighter shade of my ends. However, I am very happy that my colour did not change complete and that I still have a "rose gold" shade. I will certainly be posting more hair selfies on my Instagram. winx
Thank
you for reading and I hope you will be able to use the product with ease and be
as a happy with the results as I am. I will also be giving away the sheer
blonde colour treatment over on Instagram so do watch out for that.
With
Love, Light and Blessings.

Hey
Beesy Bees!
It’s
time for your weekly beauty dose and this week I tell you more about the
Premiere Luxe Gold Blush Perfume by Justine. You might have seen that I
mentioned something about this review over on my Instagram page a couple of
weeks ago. Now, I finally get a chance to reveal it to you in this exclusive
review.
I
personally am extremely fussy when it comes to purchasing fragrances especially
if I am unable to test it before buying. As you know, Avon and Justine are
brands which you usually have to order, either from their online app or a
representative. Meaning, it’s not like your usual fragrance counter experience
and most of the time we are not able to test the fragrances before ordering.
For many years this kept me skeptical and no matter how tempted I was to order
I rather opted to go into fragrance boutiques and pay an arm and a leg for
perfumes. However, after I started using this fragrance my perception has
changed tremendously! It’s something that is on my pedestal 24/7 and is more
like my “everyday scent”, from Monday to Friday and complements my work-wear.
Its
main ingredients are a luxurious fuse of pomegranate, peach and pink pepper
blended together with jasmine, rose and orchid. Believe it or not I searched
all over for peaches or even peach juice and eventually only found dried
peaches. Which I guess is because it’s not entirely the season for it just yet,
but I do find comfort in knowing that summer is on its way and that there is a
hint of peach in my perfume. It makes up a very original fragrance and its rose
gold packaging is right on trend.
I love fresh crisp feminine scents that can
make you feel like a million dollars in just one sprits. Well let me tell you,
this Premiere Luxe Gold Blush perfume does all of that and a whole lot more and sold for R199.00.
That’s not all, Avon and Justine has impressed me even more, because on each
page of their October brochure they added a little rubbing insert which allows
us to smell the perfume that they are showcasing on that specific page. All our
doubts are swiftly fading away and replaced with magical feminine traces
allowing us to choose our favourite fragrances.
Disclaimer: All pictures are my own and this review has been written in an honest and fair manner after using the product. The product featured in this review has been sponsored by the brand mentioned.
I hope
you enjoyed this insert and don’t forget to watch out for next week’s beauty

"Sometimes the eyes tell a greater story than the tongue."
17 August 2016
Hey beauties
Welcome back to
another segment where I tell you more about my latest KangolZA product. Well,
firstly I hope that you have been enjoying the nail routine tips I left you in
my last post. However, if you haven't had a chance to have a look at it yet,
don't worry you can scroll down to view.
Last Thursday, I decided to create a Smokey eye look using Kangol's
metal halo eyeshadow palette. This look is perfect for a night out and it can
be intensified as you progress with the techniques. I personally don't like a
very dark eye and prefer a more subtle Smokey look. This was easy to achieve
using the ah-mazing brush that comes with this palette (see video below).
I have only tested
three shades and already loving it! Certain shades are more pigmented than
others and turns out very well as soon as it has set. It's very shimmery and
adds a great sparkling effect to the look which allows us to tell the perfect
story with our eyes.
Having that said, I
can't wait to get my hands on their primal palette which consists of Browns and
Bronze. This will be fab to create a more natural day time look and as you can
see I am an absolute lover of pink. Therefore, California Dreams is on my
beauty shopping list too. This palette consists of pinks and plums which is
great for day-time, but what else won't I be able to create once I have them
all? Wow! I have some amazing ideas popping up. Stay tuned. ;-)
With Love, Light and Blessings.
PARTY FINGERS WITH KANGOL ZA 'S
Retro Girl Range Nail Vanish Review ft. YouTube Video
25 July 2016
Hi Beauties
I hope you had a fab weekend!
Mine was extremely relaxing, because on Saturday load shedding decided to make
a long lost come back in my area. This made me feel frustrated especially in
this cold weather conditions.
I decided to get back under the
covers for some much needed beauty rest, after all what is a girl to do? However,
in the back of my mind I at least had one consolation knowing that my manicure is
on point. One thing less on my
to-do-list for when the power was switched back on, but this would probably
have not been the case if I didn’t follow my regular nail care routine. I
ensure that I at least follow these easy
steps once a week especially, because during winter my nails are more sensitive,
brittle and my skin becomes extremely dry. For years I had a bad habit of
biting my nails until I grew older and realised our unappealing it looked. I decided
that it was time for change and as hard as the temptation seemed I didn’t give
in and followed this easy 20 min routine
(see video here).
STEPS:
1.
Neatly trim nails with a nail clipper
2.
File and shape
3.
Apply a few drops of cuticle oil to your cuticles to
soften and strengthen.
4.
Soak your fingertips in lukewarm water to sooth and
soften
5.
Push cuticles back. (Why? Cuticles are dead skin
that joins the nail to the skin of the finger and protects the finger from
bacteria. Therefore, it’s important to nurture it and ensure that it’s kept
clean. Pushing it back helps nails to grow, appear healthier and prevents it
from becoming dry and flaky).
6.
Buff your nails to get rid of excess nail polish, remove
ridges and add a natural shine.
7.
Moisturise your hands by applying a hand cream.
8.
Finish off with your favourite nail colour.
This time I used
two beautiful colours from Kangol ZA’s latest Retro Girl Range. The first
colour that I applied was forest green with a gel effect. I then painted my
ring finger and thumb with their intense Blue Glitter nail varnish. I applied two coats of the forest green colour
and left it to dry before applying the glitter one, which needs more than two
coats. Intense Blue Glitter nail varnish is fairly thin and works best over a

MANGWANANI AFRICAN SPA
MILK AND HONEY PRODUCT RANGE REVIEW
20 May 2016
Hey Guys!
Happy Friday unto you all! May
you have a great weekend and if you have to work this weekend I totally know
how you are feeling, but hay! How else are we ever going to get to those goals?
So let's just think of the upside of it and release some positive vibes.
After being busy the entire week
I don't blame you guys... You will become tired and fatigue. This is me every
single Friday and I have made peace with it and decided that I will treat
myself every Friday evening even if it's just by laying in the bath a little
longer than usual. If you have been
following me on Snapchat you might have seen my bubble baths I have been
enjoying for the last two weeks. This has officially become my new ritual and
now that we moving into the colder months a delicious hot chocolate will
certainly follow thereafter. It has become my way to do what I love without
rushing as everything during the week is tightly scheduled and most things
being done is often just to get to the next thing. With this new ritual I am
able to create my favourite spa in the comfort of my own home by using my
Mangwanani African spa products.
Apart from a wide range of in spa
treatments Mangwanani offers, they also have a host of spa products that can be
purchased at the spa. I visited the Mandela Rhodes Place spa recently and picked up these
while I was there. I never knew that it’s so affordable and smells absolutely
amazing. It's made from natural ingredients and very gentle on the skin. See below each picture for my thoughts around it.
Milk and Honey Two Phase Foam Bath
This foam bath is much more
liquid in texture as what I expected and is more like bath milk. It makes
the foam you need for a great bath once you have poured it into your bath while
the water is still running. This makes my skin feel soft and I love the way it's been packaged.
Looks like milky hay?
Milk and Honey Body Butter
I love the scent of this, but I
love the quality of it even more. This is truly a butter that's thick; I hate a
liquid cream that runs out to much. I have very dry hands and feet and this has
solved that problem since I have used it daily.
This is my ultimate favourite out of everything I got, because I love a good scrub especially if its with something that I can feel the granules. This milk and honey range has a distinct clean smell that's undescribable . You don't have to use much of it and I only use it once a week which means this is going to last a long while.
Thank You for reading!

MY NIMUE SKIN TECHNOLOGY DAILY ROUTINE
Nimue Skin Technology Product Range Review
04 March 2016
Hey beesy bees!
I have been using the Nimue Skin
care range for problematic skin and I thought I would chat to you about it and
also let you in on my recent experiences. Firstly, let me explain to you more
about Nimue, well known for its innovative formulations and cutting edge
technology. Speaking about technology,
Nimue has a mobile app which I personally used to check which skin type you
have and the suitable products to use from the various Nimue skin care range.
The diagnostic tool on the app assists you in this decision, which I think is
perfect because you do not need to go to the store to find this info, it’s at
the end of your fingertips. That is exactly how I knew that I needed the range
for problematic skin which is also classified has acne and after the app
displayed the results it showed me the reasons why I need to use certain
products. I think that knowing your skin type is an extremely important thing
whether you are using Nimue or any other skin product.
Ever since I turned sixteen I have
been suffering from acne and you can obviously imagine that I have tried an enormous
amount of skin care products already. Suffering from acne is one of the things
which negatively impacted my self-confidence the most and I have been on
medication prescribed by my doctor which tends to make me feel ill.
While using the Nimue Phase one
home-care products I was not using the prescribed medication at the time and
during the first three weeks of using the products I had unbearable and painful
breakouts on odd place in my face L
. At this point I fully understood why it was happening. It was a new product
that I started and it was as if all the underlying oiliness, deep underneath my
skin was being removed (“detoxified”). Thereafter, I experienced no breakouts and
not a single new zit J
yay! My skin was not feeling tight after I completed my daily routine and the
amount of oil decreased drastically. For the very first time I could allow
Justin to kiss me on my cheek without being afraid and weary of my skin
condition.
However, I saw that I still had scars
and previous marks in my face especially on my cheeks which you will see in the
video below. I might be expecting too much from this product and wished for a healthier
glow. Moreover, at this point in time the cleanser and conditioning spray were
close to being done, meaning I had to opt for a quick fix. This is not good at
all because when using skin products to expect results one needs to be
consistent. Using this product range was one of the most time consuming ones I
have ever tried but as I am growing older I have realised that investing in
good skin care products is important. More so taking time to do it properly. This five step ritual had become my daily dose
of “me time” and I enjoy performing this skin care routine no matter how tired
I am. Overall, I absolutely love these products and give it a rating of four
out of five. However, this brand is expensive but value for your money. I will
be stocking up on my cleanser and conditioner very soon to continue my Nimue
journey.
Cleansing Gel: Soap free 2-in-1 Creamy Gel
Exfoliating Enzyme: I use this twice a week to gently detach dead skin cells and to promote cell renewal.
Conditioner: Used to promote skin restoration
Moisturiser Lite: Fresh smelling day peparation cream with multi-functional properties formulated
to restore and rejuvenate.
Purifier: A skin clarifying night preparation cream for the control and management of problematic skin conditions.
Nimue SPF40 Cream: Light-weight, non-oily emulsion
base that offers a dual focus in providing a certified high broad spectrum
UVA/UVB protection and anti-aging benefits to assist in reducing and preventing
the visible signs of photo aging and to effectively compliment the Nimue Skin
Health Programme. Formulated to aid in DNA protection and repair which lastly is applied to the face.
I hope you enjoyed this insert.

I GOT 99 PROBLEMS BUT MY MAKE-UP BRUSHES AINT ONE OF THEM!
18 December 2015
It’s been a very long while since
I actually did a how to / reviews article and I thought of doing something that
is extremely important to me. Even though it’s so important to me I often
neglect to clean my make-up brushes on a regular basis. Yes, I know this might
seem as if I am super lazy or just don’t care but, the reality is I never knew
how to clean them and always struggled.
The festive season is upon us and for most of us girls we will be dressing up to the nines for all the parties. I hope most of you would agree, all these parties are always planned so close to each other and we tend to be rushing to them all. I also think that because, applying make-up takes such a lot of time we over look the important factors. Therefore, I would like to share this tip with all of you ladies.This personally affects my skin
tremendously but, for a very long time I have been struggling to find the
correct materials to clean it. Believe
me I have tried everything under the sun but ended up extremely dissatisfied. I
even used washing powder once because I thought that it would be soapy enough
to remove all the make-up in-between the bristles. However, it really did not
work and made my brushes feel hard which is unpleasant to use on your skin.
After all the research I have
done regarding this I finally, randomly tried cleaning it with my hair shampoo.
To my major surprise it worked like a bomb! All I did was the following:
* Squeezed some shampoo on my palms and
individually rubbed my brushes in it and then washed the bristles like I would
wash my hair. All the make-up washed out very easily which you will immediately
see when the water becomes discoloured.
* Thereafter, I rinsed all my brushes by holding
it under the running tap for a second to see if the water does not become
discoloured. This is to determine if the brushes are actually clean and to make
sure there is no residue on them. If the water was not clear and clean I would
wash my brushes once more.
* I left the brushes on a clean towel to air dry
before I used them again. (This might take a while so do it way in advance of
using it.)
Hay!!! Before you go... I have a little festive surprise for you.

Thank you for reading and feel
free to leave your comments below.
There are many festive experiences I would like to share with you but then you will be reading things like strawberry picking to dinner dates etc. Which will leave less space to talk about style and fashion <3 but to round everything up I will just share a short insert of my holidays with you. I hope you heard about Lush Cosmetics before which is situated in Canal walk the ultimate shopping centre in Cape Town. I randomly popped in just to see what is to offer but my gosh! I probably stayed in the store for an hour if not more. I had no intention on purchasing anything but left with gifts for two of Miss2Beesy’s social media fans and goodies for myself yay! Like this shampoo soap bars that is totally amazing as it is handmade just like all the Lush products in store. This shampoo bar comes in a wide variety catering for many hair care needs. I for one was looking for something to stimulate hair growth and the cinnamon bar offered just that. (Has real cinnamon sticks in it #naturalgoodness)
For the number one fans I managed to get something called
bath bombs which Lush is actually very well known for. I would describe it as a
fuzzy ball with a little secret inside lol because once it has whizzed away in
your bath water. It either leaves your bath with rose petals or candy depending
on the type. Lush Cosmetics does in store demonstrations and showcases the
effects certain products have. I honestly think it’s a brilliant idea because this
shows you exactly what you purchasing and all the benefits before even paying
for it. At that moment they were demonstrating the sex bomb which is very
inexpensive and adds colour to your bath with lots of lusciousness. Not
forgetting the individual aroma each one has. It’s such a shame you guys could
not be with me while watching the demonstration but here is a little clip
courtesy of the Lush Cosmetics YouTube channel.
Most of the products at lush ranging from skin care to hair
care comes in cute shapes and sizes with fun packaging. Yet besides the great
prices the staff treated me well and I had an opportunity to speak to Carmen
Van Wyk after Justin recognised her face just after attending the Odyssey
Fashion Project the previous evening. One of the official organisers of the #OFF2014.
I hope you will stop by for your own lush experience very
soon and please let me know what you will be getting by commenting below. I
will keep you posted on how great the cinnamon shampoo is and as soon as I have
my luscious long locks I will do a review.
Below I inserted a little video
clip to demonstrate how to do it and a few pictures of how it turned out. You can also
find my do’s and don’t’s tips below and feel free to let me know what you
think.

LANDE'S NAIL AND BEAUTY STUDIO
Hey beauties
You might have seen
on snapchat or the other social media sites that I am somehow always ranting
about my manicures from Lande’s Beauty and Nail Studio or you might have seen
the competition on our Facebook page a while back. Well, I thought that I will
tell you more about them and also leave you with a little review, seeing that I
have sometime on my hands and that Andrea Ruiter does an absolute incredible
job.
Tell us who is this
Andrea Ruiter? Well you can find her at the Mitchell’s Plain Promenade mall
branch between 9am-6pm daily but you should certainly call to book your appointment
because she needs some pamper time too and might just be off when you visit. What
make’s her so incredible? Oh she a complete creative soul where nail art is
concern and knows exactly which nail style to choose that matches with your
personality or a special occasion. That’s if you don’t already know what you
would like and become too overwhelmed with the amazing full range of Morgan
Taylor or Orly. However, besides that she is a complete fashion freak which
means you can pick up a conversation on the latest trends while getting your
nails done.I had a number of various full set acrylic extensions done before and lasted me almost up to a month if I treated them well.
With reasonable
prices but better yet very welcoming staff Lande’s Beauty and Nail Studio
invites you to enjoy their services at the time most convenient to you. Now hop
on over to your Facebook and give their page a like where you can also find
reviews written by previous customers. ;-)

MY NEWEST HAIR CARE BESTIE
HANNON ARGAN OIL
06 July 2015
Hi beauties!
Ready to be told about one of the most amazing products you might ever use? Then sit back and enjoy. ;-)
Ready to be told about one of the most amazing products you might ever use? Then sit back and enjoy. ;-)
To me hair care is extremely
important and as I have mentioned before, my hair plays an important role
especially when putting a look together. Without my hair being beautiful and
healthy I feel untied, frustrated or find myself unattractive. My outfit
becomes more alive when my hair/hair style has been done to the “TEE” and I
often find that I just need the basic make-up essentials. I have been using Hannon Argan oil (Produced by Hannon from Galm Guru on KykNET) for the past two
months and it has made myself and my hair very happy lol. I normally apply a
drop of this leave-in treatment to the palm of my hand and massage it through
my towel dried hair from root to tip. After I have rinsed off all of my
conditioner and before blow drying my hair. This oil has an absolute amazing
scent and leaves no residue or oiliness. Hannon Argan Oil is suitable for all
types of hair and mainly acts as an anti-frizz, meaning my curly hair is now
much sleek and on fleek.
I have used many other oils
before, but this one really does the trick for me and just so that you know
this is not a sponsored post. My mom actually bought this and I have been
secretly using it…ssshh please don’t tell. We jointly use this product on a
regular and this 60ml bottle lasts us quite a while because, you only need one
drop at a time. Sometimes I forget to apply it and just start blow drying my
hair but, then still able to apply it afterwards. Hannon Argan oil gives my
hair all the shine it needs and I am able to just stroke my fingers through my
hair. When the odd occasion occurs and I don’t have a comb at hand.
I hope this
would be of help and be your solution to happier, healthier and smoother
looking hair.

VOLUM-BUST BY WONDAYOU
Hey all my beauties ☺
I have something special and exciting to share with you. It might seem a little different to the usual beauty products I use and speak of but, I think this one can and will come in very handy.
I was approached by WondaYou Distributors not so long ago and sponsored with a few products to try at my leisure. At first I was very unsure and thought that I don’t need and wondrous thing for my bust. I could not comprehend how it can help me as have not been blessed with many in that area and even told my mom about it before accepting the invitation. After a very successful meeting with the representative of the Company in SA. I felt very enlightened and extremely excited for my WondaYou journey.
What is WondaYou Volum Bust?
It’s a moisturizer, which needs to be applied daily to your bust to act as an anti aging crème. It has the effect of making your skin softer and firmer. It’s great for mothers after birth to bring bust back to normality. The firmness allows it to lift, but unfortunately the sad part is you still need a bra. Yet, your cleavage will look much more firmer natural. The anti aging effect is great for the chest and neck area which often becomes wrinkled with age. WondaYou caters for all women and I think it’s better to use it over time to see gradual results. I have to be honest with you I have been using it for about three weeks now and my bust still seems the same but my skin around that area is much softer. With ingredients such as Aqua, Glycoproteines, Phospholipides and more used to work actively together for natural results over time.
Where is it from?
WondaYou distributors, was established in 2014 in Cape Town with the manufacturer, VOLUM-BUST cream - IMP Pharma, based in Holland. Natalia the representative in South Africa was first introduced to the product while on her travels in Spain and was pleasantly surprised with its results. It's been in the European Market for the last 15 years, but has never reached our South African shores and we are delighted to be the first to introduce this amazing product.
Where can it be found?
Volume Bust is currently being sold at salons across Cape Town such as Century spa Canal walk, Flava hair designs, Susan’s nails and beauty, Lande’s nail studio, Lande’s health and beauty, Beauty point. You can however also get in touch with them via their Facebook page or Instagram to find out more about WondaYou.
Competition Time!!!!
Would you like to stand a chance to win this Volume Bust Product valued at R300.00?

Do you have lashes or lashies?
Hey , my lovelies
I am just hoping over to tell you
all about my newest beauty experience. Earlier this week I had an appointment at the Queen Bee Hair Boutique for some lash
extensions. This was my very first time and was a bit unsure if it would suit
me or be uncomfortable. I always wondered how I would look with it as I have
tried applying my own strip of false lashes, but failed dismally.
I am only writing this post today
as it is my fourth day of having it and wanted to give you guys a fair and
accurate inside look. Mainly because if you do decide to have it done you will
have a clearer understanding of what it could be like however, still bear in
mind that we are all different and you might just have a different experience.
As I was saying, I popped into
the salon and Monique Governeder (head stylist and beauty therapist) was ready
to see to my needs. The salon staff was friendly as always and welcomed me with
smiling faces. I entered the very relaxed beauty room and Monique explained to
me the process before we commenced. After she complimented me on my natural
long lashes she started by grooming my eyebrows which consisted of a wax and eyebrow tint. She then started with my lash
extensions which was absolutely pain
free. Monique checked which style I would prefer allowing me to choose between
mink lashes which is less fluffy and more
straight (Kim k inspired) or if I would prefer a more fuller looking, curler
set. We eventually decided on the fuller and curler set which now leads to no need
to apply any mascara yay! Major time saver for Miss2Beesy J
I have been receiving loads of
compliments from complete strangers in the street, family, friends and not forgetting
you guys <3. My lashes which now are lashies lol transformed my entire look
and enhances my face and the minimal make-up I wear. It makes my eyes look more
appealing and flattering, but the best part is that it looks 100% natural.
In order to keep your lashies in
shape you need to maintain it just like any other part of your body. Therefore
Monique recommended that when I do wash my face I need to carefully wash around the eye area. I also would suggest
that you do not rub your eye at all and use oil-free make up remover wipes to clean the eye area. Try not to sleep
on your tummy if possible as sleeping with your face down could damage your
luscious lashies.
Queen Bee also has many other
services that they provide along with hair and spa treatments. I will tell you
all about this in my next post.They are
also running an exclusive offer on eyebrow wax,tint and lash extensions for
only R350.00 throughout the rest of this month.This last up to two weeks of glamorousness or more
before you have to get it refilled as Lash extensions sheds along with your natural
lashes.
For more info on Queen Bee Hair Boutique check their Facebook
page or feel free to give them a call.

RUBY BOX
Subscribe to your surprise now with #rubybox #supriseyourself xx.
Have you ever had a stressful day and feel extremely drained after a hot sweaty day at work? Feeling relieved that home time has hit the clock and now ready to relax for a while. When you finally step in the door at home, you hear the news that something has been delivered just for you. Now that’s the start of my ruby box surprise yourself experience.
As a little girl I always loved lucky packs, party packs, gifts, etc. I would want my mom to get me some even if it was not my birthday. I remember how one of my aunts would not give all my luxuries she has bought for me until she placed it a packet lol like a party pack to surprise me. That’s why the Ruby box concept lies very close to my heart because it tingles the exact same happy feeling I had as a little girl, but now just surprising me with goodies that a young lady is destined to own.
I was surprised with this ruby box a few weeks ago and first wanted to use my gifts to its fullest potential before sharing it with you. Just so that I am able to give you a clear perspective of all the amazing sample products I received.
In my box was:
- Ruby box beauty smoochstick… mwah (My Number one Favorite) priced at R129.95
- Ruby box beauty Nailed IT Lacquer in light gray that is long lasting and dry’s quickly, which I totally love because I am always in a rush costing R74.95
- Lanolin -Agg Tval which is an egg white facial cleansing bar which deep cleanses the face for a radiant complexion and more at R39.95
- NATURAL LAB CREAM SPF 30 cream. I tried using this one sparingly and when I first opened it, I actually closed it again because I thought it was makeup, but it’s actually a tinted cream to moisturize your skin underneath your make-up and to suit all skin types. The only downside about this product for me was that Justin didn't like the smell of it so I tried using it when he's not around, but I know my smoochstick made up for it lol wick wick priced at R199.95
Oh but before I go!
Allow to add that It comes in very pretty packaging to give it the extra feminine touch. Comment below if you enjoyed my experience or if you will be having one too.
Thanks for stopping by!
Lots of Love
Hellooo everybody!
Welcome to my first post for 2015. I know I might sound a
little delayed but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May the year be filled with much success
and enjoyJ.
Forgive me I was on a little holiday break and took some time out to relax, do
new things and of course shopping. There are many festive experiences I would like to share with you but then you will be reading things like strawberry picking to dinner dates etc. Which will leave less space to talk about style and fashion <3 but to round everything up I will just share a short insert of my holidays with you.

I for one was looking for something to stimulate hair growth and the cinnamon bar offered just that. (Has real cinnamon sticks in it #naturalgoodness)
#FACT: Shampoo bar is equivalent to 3 regular bottles of
shampoo.
I then told one of the very friendly sales ladies that I am
also looking for a conditioner and took me through a few that met my needs.
However I decided to go with one that is called American Cream and smells divine.
Even after I rinsed off my hair and blow dried it I still get the scent of it
especially when the wind blows through my hair.
Thanks for reading and bye bye now.

YARDLEY LONGWEAR LIPS
Hi there Beauties :-)!
There is something I have to tell you ... Unfortunately I am not able to tell it to you from my lips but from my finger tips . I have to introduce my newest bestie Longwear Lips by Yardley lol.
For many years even while growing up I never liked lipstick. As a little girl I thought it was yuck! And hated the lipstick mark on my cheek once older aunts kissed me. I tried my moms "secretly" ssshh! dont tell and always rubbed in off immediately because I just could not stand it. Up until six months ago when I was introduced to this beauty. I tried it after several other lipsticks and just loved the shade as well as the feeling on my lips. I was generally looking for something that lasts a while meaning a lipstick that will last from the moment I left home up until about after church..kind of thing. Longwear Lips offered that and was affordable ( R99.99 each). at the time. I have also noticed that during eating and drinking it fades which decreases the wear time period.
This lipstick is filled with vibrant colour that goes softly and smoothly.This may be the reason why I like it so much as I can hardly feel it when its on my lips. I sometimes have to check in the mirror just to make sure it's still there. It contains vitamin E extracts which replenishes moisture. However I have found that it leaves my lips a bit flakey after a while but the colour lasts that I can assure you.This can be found in fourteen different shades yet I am currently using seductive rose. mwah!
I have been playing around with the colour and I have noticed that I can either tone it up by applying more than once. This gives a bolder fuller look to my lips or I combine it with a pink shade which gives a total different feel. I would advice you to head over to your nearest Foschini or Edgards store to get your shade or Zando.
I have wore my Longwear Lipstick in the following posts previously...Have a look :-)
IN THESE SNIPPETS TOO!
Brendon Groenewald ( EFC AFRICA MMA CHAMPION ) AND I
Tracy Lange (Radio and Tv Presenter) AND I
Justin Smith (My Boyfriend) AND I
So look no further and get your favorite shade today!
Hope you enjoyed my review.
Please let me know if you have experienced anything else so we can share it together.I will be showcasing some of my very own lipsticks soon :-) #watchthisspace
Much Love

SH'ZEN
NATURAL ESSENCE RANGE
Many females
as myself would say that their hair on their head is their crown. With it
not being freshly done they feel uncomfortable , not very confident and seems
as no matter the amazingly gorgeous
outfit they wearing it just doesn't seem good enough.
Well allow
me to add to all of that my panache and lies not only in my hair
but also my face. The part of my body that’s always exposed and which says so
much to people without having to say a single word. Therefore I take full pride
in taking care of it by just using the best for my skin … THAT’S WHY I HAVE CHOSEN SH'ZEN.
I have an
extremely oily skin type and having a greasy skin especially, when having to
take those snippets of what I am wearing has become a huge de-motivating
factor. For many years I have searched to find something natural, soft,
soothing and healthy for my skin but to no avail. Everything I tried either
gave me a horrible break out or just irritated my skin completely.
This is one
of my before pictures on my 21st Birthday I didn't even post about
this because the pictures was good but certain parts of my face I just could not Photoshop
away lol.This didn't leave me very confident and I didn't feel like applying any
make-up, as I was too afraid it would damage my skin even more.
I searched
for something close to home something homeopathic almost something my grandma
would make with herbs etc. lol Until I was introduced to Sh'zen not so long ago
my search was over. This range is also part of Sh'zen's best sellers so you can be assured its worth trying.
I
FOUND AND GOT MY SELF THE FULL RANGE STARTING WITH:
STEP 1 :
Clarifying exfoliator - A soft skin
formula with gentle fruit acids. Walnut kernels to deep cleanse and nature the
skin allowing it to recover an even texture. Leaving it healthier, glowing
while unblocking my pores to sooth my skin.
STEP 2:
Purifying Cleansing face wash- This is an amazing light gel cleanse with the
delightful fresh scent of fruit which gently dissolves my make-up which I can
now confidently use. It also has the ability to dissolves impurities from my face
and eyes. Its extremely light I can even wash my face with my eyes open as
there are no chemicals in it that can burn it. This gel only needs a small
squeeze and a light bit of wet hands to get it foaming. It has a combination of
grapefruit, bergamot, camphor and many more of natures goodness in it t leave
my face feeling fresh.
STEP 3:
Balancing Toner – An aromatic toning liquid
with bergamont and many more essential oils in it. Which helps
to purify and re-balance my active skin with a energizing fragrance. This just needs min of to sprays on to a soft cloth or even some cotton wool and wiped
over the entire face especially my oily t-zone to complete the cleansing
process and remover any excess bacteria.
STEP 4: Matifying
day cream SPF 30- A refreshing , re-balancing and soothing non-oily day cream
for combination of skins , which contains sebo regulating plant(a natural cleaning agent) to ensure a
clean and glowing complexion. With natural regulating essential oils to
support the skin’s natural functions and if you ever wondered how my make-up
forms such a matte effect , well it’s all thanks to this cream. This is my most favorite product and part of my cleansing process.
WATCH THIS..
My facial
routine in defiantly my best part of my day that’s why I am happy to do it
twice daily. All thanks to Sh'zen natural essence!
So I guess
the saying which says…’’IF YOU SEEK YOU SHALL FIND” is actually true because I
was looking for something natural and close to home and I found it in every
sense of the word. As Sh'zen is a South African based company situated in the
beautiful Cape Town Ottery not very far from my home.
There are
many more products I am hoping to try soon and part of my very long wish list.
