Beauty Review: Skin Repbulic Neck & Decolletage Repair


Skin Republic sent me this Neck & D�colletage Anti-Aging Treatment a little while ago, & I only just tried it this week! I usually take very good care of my skin but I must admit that I never really pay attention to my d�colletage area. Well not special attention at least.

Ok so let me tell you a bit about this treatment.

This is a 20 minute treatment where by you place a mask over you neck & d�colletage area. The mask is something like a wet-wipe, except it has all sorts of ingredients in it like Vitamin C & E, Aloe, Green Tea, Witch Hazel, & Marine Collagen.

As this is an anti-aging treatment, it aims to improve tone & elasticity in this ever so delicate area. It is also said to visibly lift your skin, as well as reduce the appearance of freckles & age spots. 

Now while I am quite young, I don't usually use anti-aging products, and so I cannot comment on that aspect of the treatment, however, I can tell you about my experience with it.

I loved how moisturized my d�colletage area was after usage. As I mentioned before, I don't pay any special to this area of my body so this was a treat. The skin was also very soft & supple, with a glow. Like that feeling after you leave an amazing facial?! Well like a facial except just for my neck & d�colletage lol. 

Most products will not give you instant results with regard to anti-aging, however with continuous usage you may start to see a real improvement in the elasticity & tone of your skin.

Kiehl's "Change Your Skin" Challenge


In case you didn't know, I am 1 of 4 SA bloggers involved in the Kiehl's CHANGE YOUR SKIN Challenge. And what is this? Well, Kiehl's has challenged us to a 28 Day Challenge where we document the change we see in our skin everyday while using the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I love this idea, because you as my reader can see exactly how my skin is reacting to the product. And I get that not all skin types are the same, & that's why I have chosen 5 of my followers to join me on this journey. We will be tweeting & facebooking, & I will definitely be doing a few videos too.

Although they have been in South Africa for less than a year - Kiehls has in fact been around for 161 years!! Yes that is correct. Founded in the New York East Village back in 1851, Kiehl's has always been dedicated to high service standards & developing quality formulations. What i love about Kiehl's is that they offer their customers a "Try Before You Buy" sampling program, giving their customer the opportunity to trial a product before actually making a purchase.

From what I have heard, the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate is flying off shelves here in South Africa! This gives me the sneaky suspiscion that it is amazing, & I am super excited to trial it. 


Kiehl's Midnight Repair Concentrate is a lightweight repair treatment. 
  • Regenerates, repairs, and replenishes skin for smoother, healthier skin
  • Works with the skin�s natural nocturnal activity -when skin is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors - to dramatically restore skin
  • 99.8% naturally-derived and paraben-free
  • A customer favorite

I cannot wait to share my journey as well as that of my readers with you all.
If you have tried this product do let me know what your thoughts are.

Beach Daze with ROXSTAR BIKINI

Bandeau bikini (Roxstar Bikini) | Shirt (Mr Price) | Hat (Truworths) | Necklace (Hong Kong)

This is leopard print perfection!!! I am absolutely in love with this bikini - you have no idea! After not going to the beach for what seemed like forever, I decided to take my fab new leopard print bandeau from Roxstar Bikini for a swim! And other than my legs being covered in bruises from my clumsiness, I had a really lovely afternoon. 

I generally opt for the common triangle shape bikini top, so this is a welcomed change for me. And it has cups so its very flattering. So excited to also share the other bikinis Roxstar sent to me. You will love the colors :) To get your hands on this bikini or to find out more about Roxstar, go here. PS. Delivery is FREE

NEW IN: Melissa Shoes!!!


As soon as these babies arrived, I could not wait to put them on! Melissa Shoes sent me these gorgeous gorgeous heels & seriously guys, even before you lift the lid off the box, you get the sweetest candy floss / marshmallow smell that is soooo yummy & enticing! So, other than the fact that I find them absolutely delicious, here are a few reasons why I think they are AMAZING!

1. They're cute & funky - I especially love the Rainbow collection which includes both pairs of shoes pictured above. The collection includes many other colors & styles, see them here. 
2. Free delivery & returns if you order from Melissa South Africa online shop. Yep, Im sure this one has you sold!
3. They're easy to clean. A little soap & water  does the trick.
4. They're comfortable. Melissa shoes are made from the company's signature MelFlex rubber technology which helps make the shoes more comfortable & flexible. I usually use the gel inners in my heels so that on a night out my feet are able to survive. This is not necessary with Melissa shoes. I walked around the house last night for over an hour in the pink heels & my feet were perfectly fine.
5. They're green - made from recyclable plastic, the company is known for exceeding Fair Trade benchmarks. And if you remember I was reading Eco-Chic by Matilda Lee, so I am all for sustainable fashion. Brands like this are vital in setting an example to other major players in the industry.
6. Designer collaborations with Jason Wu & the avant grade queen Vivienne Westwood.


I have you sold don't I?! Lol. Well then the next step is for you to visit the Melissa SA online store here. And if you are lucky enough to live in Johannesburg - get down to Eastgate to the pop-up store on the ground level close to the Ster-Kinekor Cinema.







If you decide to get a pair or 2, let me know. Comment. Tweet. Email. Or Facebook!
Until then, you'll see me sporting these in upcoming Outfit Posts :)

Review: Nicki Minaj OPI Nails


 


I bought this super cool OPI Nicki Minaj Mini nail polish set when I was in Hong Kong, & I did my nails using 2 of the polishes from the set: FLY (Turquoise) & METALLIC FOR LIFE (Glitter).

OPI is one of my favourite nail polish brands & this is just what you expect from OPI quality  nail polish. I love that the names of the nail polishes are inspired by some of Nicki's songs. I only have 4 of the 6 polishes in the set, and my favourite has got to be Metallic For Life. What can I say, I'm a sucker for glitter :)

 
Have you tried any of the polishes from this collection? What do you think?

BLINK Mints GOT STYLE!!!

 
In case you haven't heard of the super awesome taste sensation that is Blink Mints - now you know! These sugar free mints are tasty; they come in a variety of fabulous flavours (my fav flavours are Green Apple & Cola); & they are packaged in a stunning tin. I kid you not - when I'm out & I take my Blink Mints tin out, the people around me always ask what it is. So let's also add 'conversation starter' to the list of why Blink Mints is awesome!
 
Because this product is oh so fashionably packaged, I thought I would do a post on dressing according to the Blink Mints flavours. You like?

This look is inspired by the Green Apple flavour. I love green & gold together (just like my Springboks), and so this is an obvious combo I'm sure. Casual Chic in jeans & a comfy blouse. I love!
 

This look was inspired by the Peach Berry flavour from Blink Mints. Now I know this is a bit bold for most of you - but I think this sort of colour combination & the mix of textures is simply stunning. Not for the faint-hearted, but it certainly works.
 

Now for the ladies who are a little more edgy than the rest - this is for you. Inspired by the Liquorice flavour, this look is all ROCK-GODDESS-GLAM!
 
 
BLINK MINTS has been seen around town in all sorts of promotions. If you haven't tasted them yet - this is the perfect opportunity for you to do so.  Here are the lovely Blink girls out & about.



You can buy Blink Mints from CNA, Clicks, Spar KZN, & most garages!

Product Review: Busby Natural Oils PURE Tissue Oil


In my opinion - Tissue Oil is one of the most important skincare products. I have used various brands of Tissue Oil & am always eager to try new oils so that I can find the one that is right for my skin. Because let's be honest - we're all different! That being said - I was super excited  to find a lovely package from Busby Natural Oils on my desk. Busby's LIQUID GOLD Pure Tissue Oil is all natural & suitable for sensitive skin - which is especially cool if you're a mom. This tissue oil is suitable to be used for Scars, Wrinkles, Dehydrated skin, & even for facial application.

I have been using this product for a few days now, &  must tell you that I am impressed. Going from Winter to Spring - my  skin has suffered, & i am loving how soft & moisturised my sin has been since using Busby Tissue Oil. I have a scar on my arm from a tempered glass TV stand incident & for me, that will be the true test of this product. So, for the next month - I will let you know exactly what the results & final verdict is.

You can look forward to my review in no time!
