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.

Beauty Review: SAMPAR Glamour Shot Eyes

 I attended an Edgars/Redsquare beauty launch in Johannesburg a couple weeks ago; along with some great bloggers from all over the country (I was the only 1 from Durban #boohoo). One of the many new brands launching at Edgars was Sampar. The Parisian skincare brand which is ranked #13 in Europe. 

Glamour Shot Eyes is the perfect product for anyone who suffers from puffiness, dark circles etc. In 1 minute this product will make you look more awake & almost act as a concealer. I had tried this product at the launch & was instantly impressed. And you know me, anything to help mask my dark circles!

I have since used it at home & I tried it 2 ways; with & without concealer underneath. I find that if used on top of my concealer it created an odd texture under my eye & my eye seemed to look unconcealed. However, without any concealer on I could immediately see a difference. So my suggestion would be not to use it with a liquid concealer underneath.

I am travelling to New York later today & I am absolutely taking this with me. My work literally starts as we land & so I will need a pick me up for my eyes. 

SAMPAR Glamour Shot Eyes is sold exclusively at Edgars & retails for R295.

GOSH Cosmetics Review

Today I review a few GOSH Cosmetics products that landed on my desk. I am going to tell you a bit about my experience using the BB Cream, Waterproof Eye Shadow, Intense Lip Colour, & the Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen.  GOSH is stocked in Edgars & Red Square stores nationwide.  If you want to see more of what GOSH has to offer, click here.

GOSH BB Cream

I love BB Creams, & have been trying quite a few. This BB is SPF 15, & can also be used as a foundation primer. I use the 02 Beige color. It is not oily, & I didn't have to use powder with it. I still had to make sure I used concealer with it as it didn't cover my dark circles, although most BB Creams wouldn't.

GOSH Mineral Waterproof Eye Shadow

This is in the 003 Brown which I love! I love natural eye shadow colors. It is a cream shadow so there is no fall-out which is always good. It blends well.

GOSH Intense Lip Colour

This is in the 306 shade, which is a rich red color. It is a highly pigmented gloss, & I absolutely love that this comes with a light on the applicator which is a great for when you are out. I would suggest you use a lip liner with it as it does bleed out a bit. 

GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen

Colour is 001 Green. My fav thing about this liner is the applicator pen. I always prefer a pen appliactor as it is easier to apply. The liner is a dark green colour with a slight shimmer, but is subtle enough that you can use it in the day time. It is a great alternative to black liner.

Kiehl's 28 Day Challenge - Week 4 update

Hey guys, here is a look at my Week 4 update video.

More o come later in the day, just wanted to share the video :)

Kiehl's 28 Day Challenge - Week 3

It's been 3 weeks since I started my journey with the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate in the 28 Day Challenge. I have been reading up on many reviews online, & most reviews gave this product a 4/5 or 8-9/10 - Great right!? 

What I did notice in the reviews is that people with all skin types gave positive feedback.And that in itself tell you how universal the product is. There weren't only good reviews, there were a few where the person didn't see improvements in the skin or had minor issues - I address these in the video. So watch it :)

**I have been making an effort to get more sleep, so my dark circles are looking pretty good here :)

Kiehl's 28 Day "Change Your Skin" Challenge - Week 2

Week 2 of my 28 Day Challenge has been a breeze! Using the Midnight Recovery Concentrate has really become a part of my routine every evening. I have honestly not missed 1 night! Awesome right?!

So, while I am having a great time, I thought I would share with you how a few of my followers are going along!

Kamielle says " I advice all ladies to get a bottle of @KiehlsSA's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. #ChangeYourSkin"

And this is an email I received from Nooreen "I am really enjoying the product, winter is not the best season for my skin. I was having some issues with the skin on my forehead and around my mouth - it was dry, and the concentrate has really helped with that. Bonus my skin feels soft and smooth, other than my chin area issues, its a great product. Highly recommend"

End of Week 2:

Other than my usual "lack of sleep" dark circles, I am happy with the texture, & overall look of my skin. And yeah Im wearing a bathrobe - what can I say. It was bedtime!

Watch the video to see more of what I think about this product.

Kiehl's "Change Your Skin" Challenge - I'm ready!!!

Last week I shared with you this exciting Kiehl's "CHANGE YOUR SKIN" campaign using the Midnight RecoveryConcentrate (see post here). And this week I will embark on my 28 day journey, where I hope to see my skin look more radiant, & hydrated as we go into the winter season. So today, I thought I would tell you all a bit about my skin type, my daily routine etc.

As you can see in the picture, my skin is quite uneven. And I have freckles too. I also have constant dark circles under my eyes, which is why I almost always use concealer. I have poor sleeping habits so I just try to cover up rather than get enough sleep. I would say I have normal skin, it is not dry or oily. In terms of break-outs & blemishes, I have never really had problem skin. My skin has always been clear, although I tend to get a few spots from time to time. 

My daily skincare routine consists of the following products:

1. Kiehl's Oil Free Cleanser
2. Kiehl's Oil Free Toner
3. Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense
4. Kiehl's Oil Free Moisturiser

(See full video of my skincare routine here)

However, at night I don't use the Super Fluid UV Defense. I don't use a night cream, I now I should, & at one point I did, I just didn't keep up with it. And in all honesty, there are some nights I don't put anything on my face, but I promise with this challenge, I am going to be absolutely religious with the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

I cannot wait to share my progress with you all.

Perhaps this will convince you to try the product too :)

KIEHL's Daily Skincare Routine

Heard of Kiehl's? I'm sure you have! Well 2012 saw the launch of Kiehl's first store in South Africa - Sandton to be exact. I was super exited for the possibilities of a brand like Kiehl's being made available here.

Kiehl's sent me a huge hamper of goodies from their range, & I decided that I would try Kiehl's for 1 month & do an honest review based on what I experienced. I  figured I would start with the Ultra Facial Oil-Free 3 Step Cleanser, Toner & Moisturiser. This test trial started 2 days before I left for China, and I used it for the entire time I was there, and so for the past month & a half  have only used Kiehl's in my skincare routine. This is the only way I could give a proper product review.

And what do I think? Well watch my video review below to find out more!

I use these 3 products daily - religiously!

This UV Defense moisturiser is great! It's SPF 50+ !!!

Here are some pictures of the Sandton store...

And if you can't get to the Sandton store - fear not!!! Everyone in South Africa can get access to Kiehl's through their partnership with Edcon. All you have to do is call the Edgar's Fashion Hotline on 0860 692 274 to request the specific products they are looking for and choose to either have it delivered to their closest Edgars store (free of charge), or delivered to their homes anywhere in SA, at a charge of R50, within 5-7 days. The service is only available to customers in SA. So simple!!!

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!
