ITS HOLIDAY TIME


I'm off on my hols today for 2 weeks to see my London "Kiddiewink" and I will be visiting Belgium for a few days. Whilst I do agree with most of the below I'm not sure about the love of airports though!

I will still be posting on my blog, but if you want to see some of my holiday happenings then be sure to follow me on my social media platforms by clicking on the pink links below:

CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {JULY 2107}


I'm only reviewing 3 products this month as I am away overseas for half of it, but hopefully I will post my findings on my blog before the end of July as they're all pretty straightforward quick use products to review...





1.

The Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour Lip Colour is a bit of a wild card for me, as I am not generally too adventurous with straying away from my usual safe brands of "lippies", so I hope I haven't wasted my money on this dual lip colour.

The L'Oreal AGE PERFECT Cleansing Milk has been on my radar for a little while and as you know I'm constantly on the look out for good affordable cleansers that help to free-up cash in order to be used for the more important skin care purchases like serums, eye and face treatments.
Not that I'm saying cleansing isn't important as it is, but so is the budget and as always I'll put it to the test as to whether its worth buying or not.

If you have followed my blog for sometime you will already know how much I love a mineral water spray and use one daily. My go to favourite is the Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray from the French brand Avène, so even I'm very interested to see how this compares with the Vichy Eau Thermal Spa Water, which is also a French brand, so let the  battle of the sprays begin.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MAY/JUNE 2017}


For the past 2 months I have discovered and tried some really great products and a couple of these items featured below may well make it onto my 
Top 5 Skincare Products of 2017 list that I compile every year.
(Unfortunately though two of the below are not currently available in South Africa)




1.


This product was not on my beauty radar even though I love the French brand NUXE.
I was given a sample of their rêve de miel Face & Body Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel and I was so glad that I tried this amber coloured, honey fragranced gel, as it gets a huge thumbs up from Moi...

I'm now onto my 2nd box of these Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery Eye Masks and I adore them.
Unfortunately they will not be available in South Africa and that's a pity, as my future supplies will have to be via my UK based "Kiddiewink".
If you can get your hands on a box, even though they're pricey, they are well worth it for the instant "pick me up" radiant effect for eyes.

Another skincare favourite from the past 2 months has been the PIXI Glow Tonic Exfoliating Tonic that contains 5% Glycolic Acid.
Again this is a product that isn't available for sale in South Africa, but again well worth the effort if you can get you hands on one.

I didn't mention this next product in my March/April favourites,but I think it needs to be added to this favourites list for May/June.
I don't often dedicate a full blog post to a nail polish, but this one from the recently launched (in South Africa) LOV brand got just that, a blog post.
I have since bought another shade and my collection is growing, but read my review to find out why I loved this polish so much...
