So, during every month we come across certain products that just make the month even more special for us and we have decided to combine all the things we've been loving each month into one post and share them all with you.
And here they are!
And here they are!
Garnier BB Cream
There has been quite a craze for some time in the world of makeup over "BB Creams". So what are BB Creams?
BB, also known as beauty balm is an all in one miracle skin perfector. It works as a moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, skin treatment, a light concealer and light foundation. Just like us women, a perfect multi-tasker.
There are many different high end and drug store bb creams which cater for different skin types but being a regular college student, we have to stick to a budget and always have to look out for quality yet affordable products.
This product is no less than AMAZING! Garnier skin natural is known for using all natural properties and active ingredients in all their formulations which ensures no harshness to ones skin. This BB cream in particular is oil-free and we purchased it for our combination/oily skin type. This product helps to control any oil/shine on the face, blurs imperfections on the skin and also gives you a naturally even skin tone. This BB cream also blends perfectly well on the skin and is available in the shade light, medium and dark. We love how this product gives us just the right amount of coverage for a flawless fresh faced look and a radiant matte finish. The best BB Cream we have encountered so far!

Esse nce 'So Glow' Highlighter
WOW! Being such a fan of highlighters and having tried quite a few, we couldn't resist the temptation to try out this one. and boy, we're ever so glad to have bought it! This has a cream to powder formulation which ensures when applied to the skin, it dries to a shimmery powder finish which makes it suitable for all skin types. This product just adds an extra bit of glam to your entire look and for a drugstore product at just R54, we are so impressed. This highlighter is suitable for any season and is such a versatile product that it can be used as an eyeshadow as well. It gives you that stunning luminous look that's currently trending all over the globe. You can also use it above your contour to pick up your whole look or it can be used on it's own without any contour at all. Go get your glow on! |
The Body Shop Baked Bronzer - 02 Warm Glow
This baked bronzer from the body shop is a dream. Unlike other bronzers, this one has no "Orange" effect to it and gives such a healthy, warm and sun kissed glow to the skin. This product is also quite pigmented and shimmery and can be used during both day and night. Be careful not to use too much on your face to prevent yourself from looking like a discoball. Another reason why we love the body shop goods is that they use all natural ingredients and don't test products on animals.
-Beauty Tip - If you have a shimmery bronzer that accidentally broke into little pieces, don't throw it away! mix the crumbled pieces away with a body lotion and apply it on to your body for an all over sun kissed glow

Classic Black Pointy Pump
This month we've been loving the classic black pointy pump. We don't know what it is about pointy shoes but we've just been drawn to it! These pumps can literally go with any look which makes it a universal must have in every girls walk in shoe closet - (haha don't we all wish we had one).
Kimono
The most fab, versatile item that had entered the 2015 Fashion Market. This trendy product has been a fave due to it's ability to throw it over anything and jazz up the whole outfit. It keeps you cool in this SA heat and can be worn anywhere from going out for coffee with friends to even a relaxed day ( or night ) with your guy and all you need are a pair of jeans, a tank top or cami, a pair of sandals and voila! Outfit complete! Don't you just love the modernized version of the Japanese kimono? We definitely do!
Kair Smoothing Anti Frizz Spray
This wonderful spray is simply a game changer for me. For a girl with thick curly frizzy hair living in Durban, Frizz due to the humidity is my main problem and I've often been sitting with a big poofball on my head *Cringe*
I had tried so many products previously only to be disappointed till I came across this and for the price of only R52, it's definitely worth it.
It kept to it's promise of transforming frizzy hair into smooth glossy lustrous hair that keeps my hair manageable all day long. My dream come true product.

Bobbi Brown No IV Bath - Eau de parfum
This Parfum is simply amazing and breathtaking. It gives you that ' just out of the shower' scent, a lovely clean fresh scent that lingers all day long. This fragrance literally makes us happy. An instant pick me up. it contains Water Hyacinth & White Lily for a calming crisp scent. Its packaging does justice to it's name and scent - A clean Sleek clear bottle with a modern style of font. My February fave. My Forever Fave
