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.
