A couple weeks ago Dale and I went to the Midlands for the weekend and spent sometime in a secluded place to relax and enjoy his birthday. I managed to take some snaps of the beautiful scenery and the outfits I wore. I hope you enjoy.

With a great response and requests to my Blogger on a Budget YouTube videos I have decided to host a Beauty Workshop which will allow you to recreate makeup looks and the products I use. You will also be able to do the looks on yourself with your own makeup so you can become familiar with the uses of the types of products and its application process. I needed to finalize all the plans for the morning. Please find attached the Invite for the Beauty Workshop which will be held on the 5th of September 2015 from 8am - 11am (3 hour Workshop) at The Emakhosini Boutique Hotel for only R250 per person.

What would a ladies function be without a theme?
The Theme is: Denim & White.

Topics I will be covering:
❥Contour & Highlighting/Strobing
❥Perfect Eyebrow Tutorial

Can I get a yesssssssssssss! Finally these products that most Beauty Blogger have been raving about are in South Africa. Over the weekend Dale and I popped by Dischem and to my surprise was the LA Girl Cosmetics stand screaming my name.  I stood around waiting for the assistants to find me the limited edition Nudes Brick Palette and Matte Glosses. I was super excited when the lady finally came to me with the palette that someone did not pick up. Screaming inside I selected the products I wanted to and proceeded to checkout.

 LA Girl Nudes Brick Palette - R90 (Dischem)
Yes finally they have arrived, and if you follow my Facebook page you know when I posted a picture of these products and where you can purchase them. I have yet to test the shades out as I am planning to do a full video review and makeup look using this amazing palette.
 LA Girl Blush Collection SPICE - R89.99 (Dischem)
Pigmented YES, colour payoff YES. This beautiful blush palette almost remind me of the BH Cosmetics Blush Palette or Contour & Highlight Palette. The palette offers both blushes and highlighting colours. For the price I would say it is a must have especially if you looking for something affordable.

About a month ago I was sent these lovely products all the way from Paris, France to review. One of the students doing research on the skincare brand approached me to test out the product because is suited my type of skin.  I started testing the products from the day I received it and its been already a month. I found that the results aren't overnight, they do take some time to adjust your skin but I have seen a difference in the condition of my skin.


 I used the Cleansing and Unifying Gel in the morning and evening after removing my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water. I found that the gel does not foam when you lather onto your face but it does cleanse the surface of your skin.
 I used the Exfoliating Unifying Lotion in a cotton bud and wiped my face and neck to remove any access makeup residue on my face. I found that this lotion in the form of a spray was very refreshing and cleansing leaving my face feeling clean and supple.
 The Mask Peeling I used once a week. When applied to the face I found a tingling sensation on my skin. Apparently this means it is working and seeping into the pours to get rid of bacteria or skin irritations. It is a scream type product which I applied with a makeup paint brush and left to dry for 15-20 minutes before washing it off.
 The SOS Perfect Complexion serum I applied just before I out my foundation on. This became my daily moisturizer. The consistency is not sticky or thick and left my face feeling fresh and cleansed. I did however mix it with the Anti-Blemish serum due to the fact that the smell of the serum was not very pleasing to the nose. One Pump of each covered my entire face and neck area.
