My new favorite lipsticks and the shades are so perfect . Recently I have just started using very light shade lipsticks . It just goes so well , and yes I am fussy with light shades as well as brands .
So I will be doing an in depth post on each  lipstick soon.
The lipstick brands I enjoy :
@hudabeauty
@lagirlcosmetics
@avonsouthafrica
@yardley
@kyliecosmetics
These brands have the best texture and color intensity , although they light but so pigmented
Face steaming … I purchased the Vitek face steamer from Dischem , price R320, I have it for 3 months, and Iâm seen really good results. I went for a facial at A beauty spa, so steaming was done and I liked it cause the benefits were good, so I decided to purchase one which I could do myself and cost effective.Â
Benefits: steam opens up the pores, it cleans out any dirt that is clogged, this is deep cleaning. It also helps to soften black heads which is easy to extract. Steaming promotes circulation.Â
I steam my face for 8 minutes , I wait till it cool I do not rinse. I apply mask to my face , rinse off and continue with my skincare routine.Â
It makes my skin very soft and smooth , not forgetting clean .Â
Thereâs 2 settings low & high, I mainly use low its medium heat, the high level is much more hot and the water boils faster. I steam my face 3 times a month, depends on my skin. Too much steaming isnât good as it will dry your pores.
Overall Iâm really happy with the product.
Have you ever steamed your face ? Any questions please comment below.Â
Beauty winter essentials
Winter has started , this mean you have to pay more attention to your beauty routine.
Cold winter air, switching from cold outdoor to a warm indoor can be very harsh leaving your skin dry,flaky and irritated . This will also cause your appearance to look dull then usual.
So during winter we have to take extra care for our skincare, a little change to your beauty products , adding some products for dry skin.
đUsing a serum to start your skincare routine, a hyaluronic acid base serum makes an ideal lightweight yet highly effective way to step up your wintertime
đA moisturizer that is heavier , which will really hydrate your skin. Cold and dry weather results in loss of moisture in the skin so your skin becomes dry. Dryness will look abit red and flaky.
đAdding a face scrub to your routine will also help to remove all dead cells, making your skin smoother and softer .
đFacial oils will also add an extra hydration to the skin, these oils constant of many good vitamins which help the skin to rejuvenate .
đSunscreen is still essential in the winter. Sometimes it’s so cold out that we don’t even realize our skin is being exposed to the elements, leaving it more susceptible to damage.
đUsing a good lip balm will prevent chappy lips, as well as exfoliating . Using plain brown sugar will help to exfoliate any dry skin on your lip
Some of my winter products , I do use a lot more then this, I try to take extra care of my skin in winter , I hate the feeling of dry and uncomfortable skin. Also it doesnât make my make up set well, your canvas got to be hydrated to have a smooth finish.
Happy winter đ, hope this post helps , please share your skin care routine during winter, will love to hear your routine.
Eyeshadow palette – Morphe350-2
The Morphe 350-2 palette consists of 35 colors , wow I love that there so many colors which also becomes affordable. So many colors to create many different colors.
Thereâs a mix of matte and shimmery colors, bright to nudes. Also it includes a black shade to create those Smokey eyes with lighter shade. It has such gorgeous colors.
My go to look is always light colors I donât go for those bald looks all the time , occasionally or when Iâm in the mood. I donât like to bright colors which makes my face look to out there. This palette makes me so happy to create my looks cause it has a lot of light/nude shades..
The colors are very pigmented so when blending add a little onto the brush. With blending it so easy to work with , blends really well, able to mix colors which still look pretty. I highly recommend to purchase this palette if you like simple looks , but there are brighter colors as well to add more color.

Human kind cream!
Winter skin can be very difficult to manage. In winter the skin becomes very dry and dehydrated, which makes it so difficult to find a product that will lock in moisture and not dry quickly . During winter our skin gets dry, why? The humidity level drops , the air outside is cold and dry, the water in our skin evaporates quicker, which makes it dry and have the flaky look.
This is when we look for many products to help with moisturizing . I purchased the human kind cream, I use this on my face and body. I mostly use it during winter it helps to lock In moisture , keeps my skin very soft and smooth.
Human kind cream has many exotic Africans oils , it also has tissue oil , I use this on my entire body. It doesnât make my son greasy that what i love but it still moisturizers.
Some of the ingredients are :
Baobab,Kalahari,melon,Mongongo nut and marula.
The scent of the cream is so fresh and earthy.
Avon recently launched a new range of lipsticks , NUDE COLLECTION.
The selling price is R95
I purchased one lipstick to test if I like it especially the shade and the texture. The shade I choose is NUDE SUEDEÂ
Firstly I love the shade Iâm so impressed with the color, nude lipsticks doesnât always suit me so I was a skeptical when When I picked the shade. Itâs very lovely goes so well with any look. It will always be perfect for everyday use.
When I saw the launch pictures of the lipstick the one thing that attracted my eyes was the package . It so cute , goes very well with the theme of nude shades. Very elegant package.
Each shade is made to match different skin tones, on the Avon site or the catalogue it will show you skin tones, this has made it easier when selecting your color. The texture of the lipstick when applied , it makes my lips feel very smooth and soft, it doesnât give a dry look, it very moist but Matt. Â The color is pigmented well donât need to keep going over and over. I applied it once in the morning , it stayed the entire day, when I ate it did come of alittle so I just had to touch up.
If anyone has tried other shades please share your thoughts in the comments section. Please like and share . TIA
Skin republic eye mask!
Most women have issues with dark circles and puffy eyes , some are genetic which is a bit  more difficult to take care yourself , you will need to see a professional person to do proper treatments. Iâm a mom so I do have those days of been tired , my eye area will look a bit dark and puffy well I just do my own skincare at home.
I always use skin republic sheet mask mask I find them to be so effective, the masks are loaded with so much of serum this makes the product to absorb into the skin and it does show the results .
I purchased the brightening eye mask about 2 months ago, in the pack you will get 3 pairs of eye mask. When I bought I used one the same time, after 2 months I still have , the packaging as a good ceiling system so my mask are still the same , no dryness to the product I can still use them, I felt this to be very good as you not forced to use all the same time.
The eye mask has a triple action formula , the serum on the mask targets the entire eye area , it is many good ingredients that will help with dark curls , puffy eyes and refresh the eye. Some of the ingredients are vitamin c and b3, coffee bean and green tea , this helps to brighten dark circles . The cooling serum also helps with puffiness. The down time to leave the mask on is 30 minutes , do not wash face afterwards, excess serum can be applied to face and neck .
