GrandeLash-md hits our shores

I recently spotted GrandeLash-md on Facebook and got very excited!

I had a chat with Dr Doma and this is what she had to say:

‘Like so many things in life, a good idea comes from the smallest ideas. A dear friend of mine, Alicia Grande whom I have known for going on 15 years met a man who knew a person, who knew that persons cousin, who knew the cousins girlfriend, whose brother had a brilliant idea – AN EYELASH AND EYEBROW SERUM TO GROW LASHES AND BROWS.

Now, my friend, being naturally nosey and a ‘health and beauty expert with her own radio show’ could not resist the temptation of long, lush eyelashes of her own, no messy eyelash glue and flapping false eyelashes, no more lash extensions whilst losing half of her own in the process, so secretly every morning and every night, most faithfully she would apply the lash serum to the root of her lashes and the brow serum to her brows… until one night, her husband, said ‘Alicia, what have you been doing to your eyelashes, they look gorgeous’.

Now, my beautiful friend, always one for a challenge trademarked GRANDELASH-MD and GRANDE BROW and voila a Lashalicious Company was born.

Having connected after some years, Alicia suggested I bring GRANDELASH-MD and GRANDE BROW into South Africa.  My business partner and I, both tomboys with long legged shapely blondes’ inside us, somewhere took on the challenge and tried her kindly sent samples. I myself suffer from Hypothyroidism, therefore my brows are sparse (that’s being generous) and to see my lashes, one needed a microscope, so I must say I started using the products with great trepidation, but faithfully followed instructions and being just slightly over 30, used it twice daily. Two weeks after using the product I had a meeting to go to, I ‘put’ my face on and nearly fell over when my lashes left track marks on the inside of my glasses, my lashes had grown so much.

Erika, the bigger tomboy nearly speared herself in the eye when she saw the amount of mascara she needed to use on her new lashes and so our GRANDE journey began. Two average, workalot, oddball mums with lashes to die for.

My medical background had to be tucked away whilst I showed off my ever growing lashes and Erika causes a breeze batting her eyelashes wherever she goes.  FINALLY – A PRODUCT THAT DID WHAT IT SAID THAT IT DID!!!!! And all natural. So of course, always up for a challenge we were granted the Agency for Africa and voila… We have arrived – watch for the little lash mobile doin the rounds in the northern suburbs.’

I received my GrandeLash-md yesterday and I can’t wait to see the results. Watch this space!

If you want to read up a bit more or see before and after’s, please have a look at the GrandeLash-md SA Facebook page or check out the GrandeLash-md website.

GrandeLash-md retails for R775 for a 2-3 month supply.

Do you want long, fluttery lashes to? Then have a look at my next post.

Naturalmente shampoo & conditioner review

The lovely people from Faithful to Nature saw my plight and sent me a couple of samples of hair products to try. Quick recap: my naturally curly and dry hair have endured many a highlighting session and that has resulted in crunchy, strawy hair that just looks horrible.

Naturalmente shampoo & conditioner

The first samples I tried were from Naturalmente. If you don’t know the brand, here is a quick intro:

‘Naturalmente offers a range of natural, organic and eco-friendly plant-based products – hair to body, baby to home – using natural best choice ingredients from the botanical kingdom. Naturalmente products are free of petrochemical by-products and synthetic substances, and are not tested on animals. Best for your wellbeing and best for our earth!’

Naturalmente Fennel & Geranium Shampoo

The natural ingredients in this shampoo have the following benefits:

Fennel Normalising, soothing, revitalising effects

Geranium Conditioning, anti-aging effects

Lavender Purifies scalp, heals, prevents hair loss

Chamomile Prevents allergies, soothing, calming

Lemon Stimulates, refreshes

Sage Anti-inflammatory, balances excessive perspiration

This shampoo is hands down the best shampoo that I have used to date. Really. It cleans my hair effectively, without leaving my hair feeling stripped. The condition of my hair has improved so much since using this shampoo. My hair feels super soft after I rinse the shampoo and I can feel that the softness is not because of something coating my hair giving the illusion of soft, healthy hair… it’s actually my hair that feels that way. My hair looks and feels so much healthier when I’ve styled it and my curls form beautifully. And I’ve had these curls for long enough to know when a product truly makes a difference.  This product is worth every cent.

Naturalmente Yoghurt & Millet Conditioner

The natural ingredients in this conditioner have the following benefits:

Mint Calms itchiness, neutralises infections

Lemon Stimulating, refreshing effects

Eucalyptus Anti-viral, kills germs

Jojoba oil Nourishes, gives shine

This conditioner is lovely. My comb glides through my hair when applied and my hair is left feeling soft and smooth after I rinse. It also doesn’t leave any coating or build-up on my hair.

I am really so impressed with this brand and I can’t wait to try more of their products. I badly want to try the Fennel & Geranium Deep Hydrating Conditioner and I am very curious to see if my curls would like the Styling Mousse. I am really intrigued by the idea of an all natural mousse.

You can purchase Naturalmente products on-line at Faithful to Nature. By warned: this website has so many beautiful products! My wishlist is a mile long.
