I review my favourite Mandy’s and Julienne products and you can WIN! (CLOSED)

I haven’t visited a salon for a lip wax or brow tint in years. Why? Because Mandy’s hair removal products and Julienne’s dye kits make it super quick and easy to do at home. And at only a fraction of the cost I might add!

Let’s start with Mandy’s.

Mandy's Long Live Smooth Pretty Please Charlie

Mandy’s comprehensive range of at-home hair removal solutions will leave you looking great and feeling fabulous. Our products, with beautifully fragranced natural extracts and step-by-step instructions, will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and pampered. Mandy’s affordable range of the finest quality hot & warm waxes, soft waxes, lotions and creams are designed to suit your needs, preference and lifestyle.

My favourite Mandy’s product is their film wax. I have been using it for years to wax my lip, as well as those of most of my family members’. And in all honesty, the chin also gets a wax now and then. We are a hairy bunch of women. Mandy’s Film Wax is extremely easy to use (it’s a microwavable wax) and it works very well with our sensitive skins. Once you get the hang of using it, you’ll never look back. The product comes in a small tub for use on the face and a big tub for legs and body.

A friend of mine swears by Mandy’s Wax Strips. Once again, easy to use and very effective.

Mandy’s offers a hair removal product to suit everyone’s needs. The product ranges include hair removal creams, wax strips and a variety of hot waxes. Mandy’s also has a cream bleach for ladies who prefer to lighten instead of remove.

Mandy’s has saved me so much time, effort and money over the years that I can’t imagine getting rid of my hairy upper lip any other way. Learn more about Mandy’s HERE.

Did you know that you can tint your own brows and lashes at home? I have been doing it for years. Julienne Permascara Lash and Brow Dye Kits is another product that has saved me so much money and effort. Why go to a salon (and honestly pay a fortune in comparison) when you can tint your own brows or lashes?

I haven’t tinted my own lashes in a while as I wear mascara every day, but used to love it when I was younger. Beautifully dark lashes during the summer holidays and never having to worry about applying waterproof mascara when you go swimming, sounds very good, doesn’t it?

Julienne Permascara Lash and Brow Dye Kits

I have been using Julienne Permascara in Dark Brown to tint my brows for what seems like forever. It is so easy. The kit includes the tint/dye, cream developer, a mascara wand, a plastic insert that can be used as little mixing bowl, protective tint pads and step-by-step instructions. Tinting your brows can’t be easier and the whole process only takes a couple of minutes. These kits come in Light Brown, Dark Brown and Midnight Black.

Dora, Boots & Diego are setting sail to South African shores this July!

Dora's Pirate Adventure is coming to Cape Town and you can win tickets!

Nickelodeon has teamed up with Life Like Touring and Blu Blood to bring pre-school heroine and intrepid adventuress Dora the Explorer and her friends to South Africa this winter.

Dora the Explorer Live! Dora’s Pirate Adventure, the ultimate, fantastic family-friendly theatrical experience, opens at the ICC, Durban (1-3 July), before moving on to Emperors Palace, Johannesburg (7-12 July), and finally dropping anchor at the Grand Arena, Grand West Casino, in Cape Town (15-17 July).

Families and kids are invited to join Dora and her pals Boots and Diego on a voyage of discovery as they embark on an exciting trip to Treasure Island in search of the ultimate pirate party. Help them navigate over the Dancing Mountain and through the Silly Singing Bridge in pursuit of the Pirate Piggies. Along the way, Dora the Explorer fans will use their map-reading, counting, musical and language skills to successfully help Dora reach Treasure Island and avoid that pesky fox, Swiper!

Tickets for Dora’s Pirate Adventure is available at Computicket outlets, on www.computicket.com or 0861 915 8000 and at Checkers and Shoprite stores nationwide.  Tickets are also available at the Emperor’s Palace Box Office and the Box Office at Grand West Casino. Tickets are priced from R185 to R385.

Cara’s eyes light up every time she sees the Dora’s Pirate Adventure ad on TV and I have to admit I am also green with envy as one lucky Pretty Please Charlie reader will get the chance to take their little one to see Dora live on stage!
