Make a statement with essie neons 2015

‘if you want an encore, i suggest you make some noise! -Essie

essie neon collection 2015 Groove is in the Heart, Vibrant Vibes, Make Some Noise, All Access Pass

I think that tagline is quite fitting for the essie neons 2015 collection; bright, beautiful and in your face.

The four shades I got to play with is All Access Pass (a boho violet indigo), Make Some Noise (a raucous electric blue), Vibrant Vibes (a vivid neon lime) and Groove is in the Heart (a peachy pink neon).

My favourites are All Access Pass and Make Some Noise, mostly because I don’t do pink and green and Make Some Noise is about as bright as I’m willing to go. Which is already quite daring for someone who’s favourite essie shade is licorice.

These happy and playful shades are perfect for summer and sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

Keep an eye out for these at Clicks, Dis-Chem, Foschini and selected salons. essie retails for around R125 per bottle.

Wake Wonderful with REN’s Night-Time Facial

I always get a little extra excited when I get to try something new from REN. Their products are great and my skin seems to really dig some REN goodness.

REN released the Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial a couple of months ago and I think it’s one of their best products yet.

Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial Review Pretty Please Charlie

What is it?

‘A transforming treatment that works overnight to leave skin visibly brighter, more luminous, refined and even-toned by morning.’

A unique complex of actives delivers a 3-phase treatment while you sleep: 

Phase 1: The exfoliating and brightening effect of the acid/enzyme complex is delivered to the skin on application

Phase 2: Next, Glycogen and Magnesium take over to revitalize and boost skin cell vitality

Phase 3: Finally, Sodium Lactate kicks in to gradually raise skin PH, leaving the skin rejuvenated and infused with plumping moisture

In a nutshell, it is a leave-on mask that exfoliates, brightens, boosts, revitalises and plumps. And does it? Yes.

My skin really looks and feels great after using this mask.

It is not recommended for sensitive skin, but my skin seems to really love it especially when it’s being particularly temperamental. You can apply it on clean skin or between applying your serum and moisturiser (which may be advisable if your skin is very sensitive). I feel my results are better if I apply it on freshly cleansed skin. There is a slight tingling, but it is extremely slight and it only lasts for a second.

This is a great mask and one I would gladly spend my hard earned cash on.

REN Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial retails for R620. Visit the REN website HERE for more info.

Two thumbs up!
