Two of my favourites over the past year or so have been from the Sublime range, which is an innovative line of perfecting skincare products aimed to give the skin a sublimated, flawless and smoother appearance. 
A smoother skin will immediate allow the light to reflect better, giving the skin a more radiant and rosy appearance and having a mature skin I welcome any help from products that can achieve that.

I recently reviewed the Pivoine Perfecting Cream and combined with my anti ageing Divine cream, it really has become my perfect skincare Duo.
Two other great product from this range is the Pivoine CC Cream,so if you would like to read my previous reviews then just click on the links below

SUNDAY SAMPLE - L'OCCITANE DIVINE MASK

My sample jar is literally overflowing, due to me not posting any Sunday Sample posts recently.
 I am however really looking forward to experiencing this weeks Sunday Sample, 
as it's from one of my favourite French brands 
L'Occitane

L'OCCITANE DIVINE MASK



The Divine Mask is a recent addition to this award winning Anti-Ageing line up of the same name,
which just happens to be my range of choice and has been since its launch onto the beauty scene some 5 years ago.
I have used and still do you use many of the products from this range.

I was recently given several samples of the Divine Mask, so I will only post my review on a Sunday in the future, once I have finished all the samples.
This mask does come with a hefty price tag of R1,790 (yes you did read correctly) and hence why I want to trial this product over several applications before posting my thoughts.

If you would like to know more about the Divine range then I do have several product reviews on my blog (links below) and a very amateurish video on youtube.

Enjoy!

MY 3 CURRENT FAVOURITE WINTER NAIL POLISHES

You will never see me with chipped nails or even worse without nail colour on my fingernails and after all these years, I would feel utterly naked with bare nails and the same goes for my toenails. 
I have several brands that I always gravitate towards and I look within these brands for colours that I like, rather than being attracted to colours in another brand. 
My go to brand for many years has been Essie and over the past 3 years or so I have built up both a good collection and a love for the UK brand nailsinc. 
(Unfortunately nailsinc is no longer available in South Africa, but my UK Kiddiewink feeds my nailsinc passion)

The weather in Durban has cooled somewhat and my summer nail colours have made way for more Wintry shades, that I can wear with most outfits, however they will still look good on the beautiful sunny warm Durban winter days.

These are my current 3 favourites:

nailsinc - Porchester Square
essence - Girl With A Pearl
essie - Merino Cool


nailsinc Porchester Square - essence Girl With A Pearl - essie Merino Cool



Today I am wearing an essence High Gloss nail polish from their recently launched 
ALL THAT GREYS Collection. 
The colour is a slightly off white/grey colour and this is a budget brand that I am going to try more polishes from, as they offer both value and quality for only R39.95
 (Below is only 2 coats, although I do prefer to apply 3 coats as with most colours that I apply)



essence - Girl With A Pearl

essence and essie are available from


nailsinc. unfortunately are no longer available in SA and have repackaged their polishes moving from the round bottle as shown above 
to the new square bottle.
