L-R: Versaille, Santiago, Quebec, Bergen,
Walnut Grove and Windsor 

I am really not enjoying the fact that it is now autumn and winter is fast approaching. , but what I do like, is that chance of season, means that the makeup brands often launch new exciting colour collections, and some of these new collections for the autumn and winter 2019 include the Mavala Heritage Colours Nail Polish Collection and the Mavala Legemd Lipstick Collection, which are available from April 2019. 

PRODUCT REVIEW: AFFORDABLE YET HIGHLY EFFECTIVE COSMECEUTICAL SKINCARE FROM SKINSTITUT YOU MUST TRY

My skin has always been trouble some. Even today where I should be focusing on anti-ageing, warding off lines and wrinkles and reducing pigmentation, on top, I am forever battling hormonal breakouts. That can often be a tough cookie, as often anti-ageing products are simply too intense and rich for my combination skin.

PRODUCT REVIEW: TIGI COPYWRIGHT CUSTOM CARE REPAIR FOR HEALTHIER HAIR WITH LESS BREAKAGE

My hair has seriously suffered this summer. It is usually in a petty good condition, but for some reason, the summer sun has really taken its toll on my long, thick coloured hair, and has left it looking a tad dull and dry and frayed at the ends. But then I put some haircare products from Tigi Copyright Custom Care* to the test…

PRODUCT REVIEW: LADERA, THE ULTIMATE EVERY DAY HANDBAG FROM THE SAK

These days I am always on the go, it seems. Between school drop-offs and pickups, it seems I barely get home before it’s time to leave again. And for the past year, I’ve pretty much reached for my beloved The Sak Pax leather cross-over handbag daily, as it simply incredible, and in spite of using it so much, you’d never know. Speak of amazing quality!
(you can read more about here). So needless to say that when I was kindly gifted a new The Sak handbag, I couldn’t have been more excited.

PRODUCT REVIEW: ENBACCI SKINCARE VITIS VINIFERA REJUVENATING ESSENCE

I admit that, while I am a total skincare junkie, one step I am notoriously bad at skipping, is toner. I am not really sure why, as I do love not just that a toner can remove any remaining cleansing residue, but also refreshen the skin, and prepare for the subsequent serums and moisturisers. So when the Enbacci Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Essence* landed on my desk, I couldn’t wait to try it..

PRODUCT REVIEW: ROSE QUARTZ FACIAL ROLLER AND GUASHA FROM NATAUSSIE F0R MORE YOUTHFUL GLOWING SKIN

Quartz facial rollers have shown up in my social media feed more and more frequent in the last few months, and you got to admit that they do look pretty. I’ve always loved beaut gadgets, so needless to say that I have been curious about them and the benefits of using them. So naturally I was excited went the most beautiful pink box arrived from Nataussie contains both a face roller along with a guasha handcrafted from Madagascan rose Quartz.

PRODUCT REVIEW: SKIN79 SUPER PLUS ORIGINAL BB CREAM FROM STYLE STORY

Since having kids and no longer working in the corporate world, I’ve found I’ve changed the type of makeup I wear, and its become less, and always having kids around my legs, it is also a lot quicker than it used to. In terms of foundation, I actually don’t wear foundation that often anymore unless I’ve got something major to cover, but for the usual school drops, trips to the playground and supermarket, I am usually just reaching for a tinted moisturiser or a BB Cream. And one of those brand that I’ve long had my eyes on, is Skin79, so needless to say that I was excited when I was offered to try one via Style Story.
