Radiant skin thanks to REN Skincare

I am seriously crushing on this brand right now. I have only recently started using their products, but have been lusting after REN for years. Also see my previous reviews HERE and HERE.

The number 1 product that I have been wanting to try is the GLYCOLACTIC RADIANCE RENEWAL MASK. Off the bat I knew I was going to be impressed as so many bloggers give this mask rave reviews.

A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone. Results: Skin looks brighter, healthier, more radiant. Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combats congestion, blackheads and blemishes.

A generous amount of the gel-like mask is applied onto clean skin and left to do its magic for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes my skin looks radiant and bright and feels silky smooth. I love using it when my skin needs a little extra boost. It also works beautifully after a deep cleansing mask. R490.

RESURFACING AHA CONCENTRATE

When I see AHA I always get excited. Love me some acids, ha-ha.

resurfacing-AHA-concentrate
A concentrate formulated to resurface the skin and renew the complexion giving a radiant, youthful glow. A complex of Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric and Citric acids promotes skin-cell turnover leaving skin looking revitalised, brighter, smoother and more healthy.

I apply this product at night after I’ve cleansed, before applying my serums and moisturiser. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I think it’s worth every cent. My skin is left smooth and radiant and I wake up looking fresh. My skin looks brighter and more even since I’ve started using it. Great stuff REN. R480

MICRO POLISH CLEANSER

A two in one formula that deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates the skin to leave it looking purified, renewed and radiant. Results: Skin feels purified, smooth and soft. The complexion appears brighter, radiant and more energized. Helps reduce the appearance of pore size and fine lines.

I prefer exfoliators that come in liquid or mask form as my skin can be very sensitive to abrasive scrubs. Luckily this one has not irritated my skin at all. I use it once a week and usually follow with a deep cleansing mask. As far as scrubs go, I really like this one. R320

Pylones brings “la bonne vie” to the V & A Waterfront

I know, I know; I stole the title straight from the press release. Shoot me. On a side note: anyone willing to pay me a salary for blogging?? I keep on missing these fabulous launches. I didn’t make it to the opening of Pylones at the V & A Waterfront, but just from everything I saw on Instagram, Pylones is the place to shop if you like unique, quirky and fun.

Barry Berman says ‘Pylones wanted to create objects that would make customers smile, and take them back to childhood.’ I think they got it right. And with over a 120 stores worldwide, I am definitely not the only one who thinks so. Have a look:

I can imagine myself getting lost in there!
