Beauty: My favourite favourites of 2015

My sister often gets upset with me when I tell her about a product that I love. ‘But you said that one is your favourite?!’ She likes to give me the third degree. I try not to use the word favourite too often when talking about the things I love as there is just too many. There are a few products and services that stood out last year, so I have decided to share my favourite favourites of 2015 with you today. Let’s jump right in with my Beauty Favourites of 2015.

Beauty Favourites of 2015

Dermaceutic Mask 15 (and pretty much everything from this brand)

If I had to choose just one skincare brand to use for the rest of my life, chances are that Dermaceutic will come up tops. I have raved about Mask 15 many times and I am still amazed by the results. Every. Single. Time. You can read my thoughts on the mask HERE. I have also been using Activ Retinol 1.0 and Turn Over. I will be posting a review on these two shortly. Keep an eye out as these products are amazing.

REN Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial

Want to wake up with smooth, bright, fresh-looking skin? Then this product is a must have. I love it. Pop over to read my full review HERE.

BABOR New Skin Fluids Ampoule Concentrates FP

Love. That is what it is. I used these ampules when I started at home derma rolling and my skin loves it. This product is definitely one of the top 5 best skincare products that I have ever used. Visible results almost instantly. Fresh-looking, plump and radiant skin. I would use these ampoules every night if I could. I can’t wait to try the other ampoules that BABOR has on offer. Full review over HERE.

Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control Dry Touch Face SPF50+

If you struggle with oily skin, this sunscreen is a must try. LOVE IT! I am really struggling in this heat and a heavy sun protection cream just makes it worse. I hate that ‘aangeplakte’ feeling. My skin needs to breathe. If you feel the same way, then this is the SPF for you. Read more HERE.

Rain Biologie Winter Therapy Bath Soak

This stuff is awesome. The fact that I am including a bath product in this post already says a great deal. I don’t really enjoy lying in the bath. There are also only a handful of bath goodies that I truly enjoy as my skin (and nose) is very sensitive. I think I may be the only woman in the world who is not crazy for Lush. But this Rain Africa soak is amazing. I would buy it by the bucket if I could. More about this beauty HERE.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Hair Care Range

This range has been my best hair discovery since I started blogging. I have tried amazing high-end products that I would recommend in a heartbeat, but I am always on the lookout for a budget alternative. I rate Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula range up there with the best of the best. The shampoo is amazing. I don’t think I will buy another shampoo again. If you have dry, damaged, colour treated and/or curly hair, this is a must. Since posting my review (HERE) I have also tried more products from the range and I have not been disappointed. Hey Palmer’s, I spotted Hair Pudding on the web! When are you bringing it to our shores?! My curls are waiting…

Style Bar is my no.1 choice for highlights

I think my colour and smile says it all. It is perfect every, single time. You have one extremely happy customer Style Bar.

BambiShoes Semi-permanent Hair Colour

A full review is coming your way shortly, but I had to mention it as it is one of my ultimate favourite finds. BambiShoes semi-permanent hair colour is an all natural, vegan, cruelty-free product that gives you vibrant colour without any damage. And it is very affordable. I am obsessed. The pop of colour in the selfie is thanks to the pink in the above pic. Keep an eye out for that review and pics of how stunning the colour truly is.

Win a Veaudry International Limited Edition Pink Sapphire myStyler Colossal!

Congratulations Megan Kelly Botha!! I’ll be in touch.

Hope you have an amazing Christmas xx

I spent a lovely morning with Veaudry International and Tosca Salon Hair & Beauty earlier this week learning a bit more about Veaudry and their limited addition Pink Sapphire myStyler Colossal.

When you listen to the people behind the Veaudry brand, you can’t help but get excited and swooped up by the passion that this brand has for the industry, their products and their customers. Here’s a little more info on the brand.

Established in 2006, the Veaudry brand has been built on the philosophy that people are more important than the products themselves. This has clearly resonated with Veaudry customers, as the brand has evolved from one salon in East London in 2008 to a rapidly growing business that today includes an expansive hair and beauty concept salon in Fourways, Johannesburg and an internationally recognised heat styling product range.

At the heart of it all is Michelle’s commitment to finding innovative, more natural ways when heat styling, straightening or curling. “When I first started out as a professional stylist more than 12 years ago, I was struck by the demand that women expressed for more beautifully styled hair. But all the tools of the trade relied on heat to do this; hot, dry damaging heat that left hair dull, brittle and lifeless. I thought there must be a better way to heat style hair, and found the answer in the semi-precious crystal, tourmaline,” Michelle explains.

Tourmaline is a semi-precioius crystal that when heated, produces vital ionic and infrared properties. Veaudry’s technology uses the properties of tourmaline to heat the hair from within preventing damage to the cuticle ( outer ) layer of your hair with breathtaking results.

After discovering this breakthrough natural technology in 2006, Michelle launched the first ever ceramic tourmaline hair straightening tongs in South Africa – the Veaudry myStyler. Designed to preserve the integrity of the hair while straightening it, the myStyler heats the hair shaft from within, locking in its intrinsic moisture and enhancing its natural shine, leaving it perfectly straight with a healthy, glossy sheen.

If you are a regular reader of Pretty Please Charlie, you will know that I prefer to wear my hair naturally curly. I think a hair straightener or styler has only touched my hair 5 times. Ever. And that was only in salons. Honestly, I don’t know much about stylers, but what I do know, is that a Veaudry styler is on many a wish list. More plus points of Veaudry myStylers (than already mentioned)… is the super long cord (the ladies who travel often with attest to why this is so important), the complimentary travel bag and heat resistant tail comb.

The Pink Sapphire limited addition Colossal styler has just been unveiled for Summer 2015/2016 and the sparkling pink plates are simply gorgeous.

This beautiful styler is available for only R1 550 (recommended price R1 950) until the end of December ’15 at Tosca Salon Hair & Beauty and other selected salons and online at Veaudry International and Retailbox.
