2012 has been a year of reflection and bargain hunting. My
favourite spot for makeup Face Value has moved away from Umgeni road L they are now in
Pinetown so I will have to make a trip there. Luckily last time I was there I
stocked up on Maybelline lipgloss and eyeshadows. I now realise , after
creating my makeup database on Excel that I have quite a lot of makeup and
because I store it really well and not in any level of sunlight that my makeup
will be fine for a while.
In the rest of makeup news I am loving the lip balm range
from Woolies, especially the lime one. I only like citrus fruit flavoured stuff
so lime was my only option but it was a good one. The Chocolate lip butter from Body Shop is
also cool but gives a slightly white sheen to the lips; so best if covered with
gloss to cover that up.
I have been using the Oh So Heavenly Ribbons cream since May
, when the air starting getting a little drier and it was somehow on special
for R10! I feel so silly now for not buying an extra bottle. It is a lovely
smelling cream and very luxurious on the skin.
In showering news, I received a tester box from Hometester
Club of 10 travel sized Dove shower gel and 10 shower gel for men; plus coupons
for purchases of the full sized bottles. I will keep my eye out for when they
are on special and then use the coupon ( Thanks to Extreme Couponing on TLC).
It is a lovely shower gel, the mens and womens, and I felt my skin was quite
soft straight out of the shower. So I think it is pretty cool that Dove went
into the market with Shampoo, Conditioner, Body cream and Showergel within a
year. The products are great and I will be giving the body cream a go next
week.
I have been working infrequent hours which has led to me
being at home and working odd hours, so therefore my daily makeup regime has
slowed down. When I go out now I tend not to overdo my makeup and keep it all
quite simple for lunches on a Saturday , such as simple highlighter and
eyeliner for my face and lipgloss. I have been finding the most amazing
lipglosses such as The Body Shop new range which has an awesome scent and not
overpowering colour. I was really impressed with it.
That is it for now. I hope to blog more often about other
products I have been using and my sincere apologies for being absent… I now
have a reminder on my phone for a once a week blogging session!! xx
