  ‘Thanks to SKIN BOOSTERS by Juliette Armand, your appointment with plastic surgery is postponed!’279619_220627204640626_4840230_o

According to the brand this line has the following advantages:

  • A stamp of responsible safety: parabens free, propylene glycol free, mineral oil free, allergen free and dermatologically tested
  • Complete individual therapies with strict Treatment Protocols
  • Extremely precise therapy system, assuring highly efficient, predetermined results.

I received the Opsis Therapy Eye Brightening Gel and I was very keen to give it a go as this was my first time trying anything by this brand.

First off, how can you not love the gorgeous and novel packaging? I mean really. It is such a treat to use… just because it’s so cool. Moving on. The packaging is very effective too as you can dispense the exact amount you need and there are no ‘dirty’ fingers spoiling the rest of your product. The rubber cap also doubles as a massager as you can use it to massage the product into the area. Honestly, I still prefer using my fingers, but it’s there if you want to use it.

The product itself is said to immediately and visibly reduce dark circles and swelling in the sensitive eye contour area and it moisturises, tones and refreshes the eye contour.

The gel has a balmy consistency which spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. It leaves the skin under my eyes feeling soft and smooth which makes it great to use before applying make-up to the area. It also has an immediate cooling and refreshing effect which is lovely, especially after a rough night with Cara. And I am glad to report that dark circles are brightened. Moms rejoice!

Opsis Therapy Eye Brightening Gel retails for R725 (10ml).

Optiphi Classic Complete Therapy

I received this moisturiser at the Cape Town Blogger Meet in Jan and I have been waiting for the colder months (when my skin tends to be drier) to give it a try. It is a no-frills moisturiser that beautifully hydrates my skin. It also creates a smooth base for my foundation. I am really enjoying this moisturiser right now and I love the fact that it has a SPF20.

The Victorian Garden Rose and Chamomile Toning Freshener

Browsing the isles in a big pharmacy about a month ago, I spotted this spritzer and couldn’t resist. It’s aimed at dry skin and it has been a lifesaver of late. I keep it on my desk in the office and give my face a spritz when my skin starts to feel tight. Our offices are very cold so the heater is constantly on full blast. Great for my feet, but it wreaks havoc on my skin. This tonic instantly relieves that parched feeling and my skin looks fresher too. And it smells lovely. I bought it for R60.

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector Eye Roll-on

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one of these as I’ve read so many good reviews. It is said to cover and treat dark circles, bags and fine lines. I need industrial strength products to conceal my dark circles and I really struggle. Problem is that most products that completely conceal, also accentuate my fine lines. So most of the time covering my dark circles can actually make me look older. What I like about this product is that it doesn’t do that at all – the formula doesn’t settle in fine lines. And even though it doesn’t fully conceal, it does highlight the area and make me look less tired.  I really like it and will most definitely buy it again. It retails for R70 and is available in Light and Medium.

Hey Gorgeous Marshmallow Whipped Mousse

What can I say about Hey Gorgeous that you don’t already know?! The cream is packed full of natural goodness and you can feel it the moment you apply it. It’s light, but still very moisturising. I love all the Hey gorgeous body creams I have tried and this one is no exception. And it smells like pink fizzers. It’s divine. R100 for 250ml.

Last but definitely not least…

27Pinkx Mini Organiser

If you are a make-up and skincare junkie like me, you know that storage is always an issue. My husband constantly comments on the state of my ‘cosmetics corner’. Well, it’s been looking a lot prettier and neater of late thanks to my gorgeous organiser that I received from 27Pinkx. Their organisers are made of durable acrylic and it looks super stylish. There are several styles to choose from and prices range from R390 to R1800 – so there’s something to suit all budgets. The mini organiser retails for R1 200. I just browsed their website and there a quite a few other items that tickle my fancy… the Naught Nudes eye shadow palette and The Make-up Bullet come up tops.
