MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MARCH/APRIL 2017}

I have tried so many good and varied products during March and April, but I have narrowed my "faves" down to these four that are all very worthy of a purchase.

1.

If you are looking to invest in some new make-up brushes, then check out the 

Real Techniques selection, as they have a brush, in fact many brushes, for every type of make-up application you will ever need...

This next monthly favourite is no surprise, as it's from one of my cosmetic brands benefit.

Odd name I know, but I just love using my PUFF OFF! and if you would like to know more about this product then read my review below...

This Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector is in my opinion another winner from the French brand Clarins and my 2nd purchase is imminent...

This next "fave' was a pricey one, but well worth it.

The OralB GENIUS 9000 Electric Toothbrush gets a 10/10 from me.

I just fell in love with the Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara from Lancôme during the last month and I'm about to buy the full size.I enjoyed the curl and lift that this mascara gave to my lashes...

BENEFIT PUFF OFF! {REVIEW}

I've recently bought my second tube (which is always a good sign) of "Puff Off!" from benefit and I've been using it for the past 5 or 6 months, under the belief that I had posted my review, only to find that the half written post was sitting in my drafts folder, so finally after a very long trial period I bring you my findings and opinions on this strangely named beauty product.

PUFF OFF! ,as do many of the benefit names, sounds "gimmicky", but I discovered a couple of years ago that often behind those "gimmicky" names lie really good effective products that have become firm favourites of mine.

Puff Off! is an under eye gel that helps to reduce both puffiness and helps to soften and smooth out those fine lines around the eye area.

The packaging and applicator of the Puff Off has to be the most unusual that I have ever tried, as you are mimmicking ironing the skin under the eye.

benefit PUFF OFF!

Iron on…puff off! 

Puffies & creases look “satiny smooth” with this innovative under eye gel. The custom “ironing” tip instantly helps to cool and smooth the look of under eye puffies & fine lines.

Squeeze once and dot under each eye…then go back and glide on with “ironing” tip. This product can be worn alone or over makeup with a gentle pat and blend action.

The iron metal tip has a cooling effect and glides surprisingly easily over the skin, with no dragging. However if you wanted to, you can just apply Puff Off! to your ring finger and dot under the eye.

I found this product a pleasure to use especially on those mornings where my under eyes definitely appeared to be puffier than normal and applied in place of my morning eye treatment it both smoothed and tightened the skin and literally de-puffed the area, enabling me to apply my concealer and foundation far easier.

As with most benefit products it comes with a hefty price tag of R415 for 10mls, but it's a unique product that tackles a specific issue that is a concern for many 
those pesky - Puffy Eyes.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {FEBRUARY 2017}

Due to the fact that I have so many reviews to write and post on my blog on products that have been under review since November, I've decided to only review 3 products in February, just to enable me to catch up, but I must say they're all good ones.

CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW


1.

First up is a set of make-up brushes, but not just any old brushes, these are by 
Real Techniques, who just happen to have a brush for every make-up application occasion.
(Samantha and Nicola Chapman are make-up artists and have an extremely popular YouTube channel called "Pixiwoo" and through this Real Techniques brushes came about) 

They're available from Foschini here in SA, but I bought these on my recent trip to the UK from Boots and I have only really had chance to use them during the later part of January.

I opted for this basic set, as it seemed to have all the sizes of brushes that I normally use and it came in the very handy silver travel case.

I have heard such great things about my next review product, that I have finally purchased one.
The Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector has been around some time now and it already has a cult following, so leave me to use over the next few weeks and as always I will let you know as to whether its worth a "buy" or not.
There are 7 shades available and I opted for shade 07

Huge apologies for this next product, as I've been happily using it for over 6 months now and I have just realised that I have never written a review!!

So it really doesn't fall under this blog post title, but just to give you a "heads up" my full and rave review will be up during February.
