One of those brands I was introduced to not long ago was Genie Beauty, and I seriously cannot rave enough about their Nutratanicals Antioxidant Foundation (read about it here ), Line Smoothing Concealer (read about it here ), and Make Me Blush (which you can read more about here ).  So I was very excited to put a few more products from Genie Beauty to the test, including; Instant Line Smoother Million Dollar Lash Booster Million Dollar Mascara Superglide Gel Eyeliner Let’s start with the Genie Instant Line Smoother , which is a really unique product that promises to instantly smoothes away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, bags and puffiness.

I have always tried to look after my skin the best of my ability, including trying to use the best possible skincare for my skin type, as well as try to be as healthy as possible with lots of fresh fruit and veggies, and drink a considerable amount of water. But that doesn't mean that I am completely satisfied with my skin, but I guess most never are. But lately there has been an increasing amount of beauty supplements enter the market, that claims to feed your skin essential complexion boosting nutrients that optimise the skin’s health from within on a cellular level. One of those brands is Beauty Boosters, which I have put to the test for the last few weeks..

The Collagen - C contains Vitamin C to supports the production of collagen and connective tissues withi

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more and more aware, that good skin is not just about the topical skincare products you use, it also comes from with in. I’ve put some the Hivita The Ultra Skin Lightening Collection to the test, which contains two clinically proven formulations.   The Hivita The Ultra Skin Lightening Collection contains;  Hivita Luminous White The Ultra Skin Lightening Booster - 30 capsules Hivita Luminous White The Ultra Skin Renewal Cream The skin renewal beauty cream and skin-rejuvenating supplement work in harmony above and below the skin to help support brighter skin, wrinkle reduction, the formation of collagen, visible youthfulness, and more even complexion.

Today I am going to talk about a brand called Colorescience, with products designed especially for sensitive post-procedure skin, offering 365-day protection against UV rays and other environmental stressors. The makeup products are made with custom-refined minerals and nutrient-rich ingredients that are bendable while allowing the skin to breathe, and offering both immediate and long term benefits for the skin.  One of my long-time faves is the Colorescience Sunforgettable Tint Du Soleil™ SPF 30. This is a mineral-based lightweight foundation that combines makeup and sun protection into one wonder product. The antioxidant-rich formula blends easily and naturally into the skin, giving it a sheer coverage that is still covering any redness and minor pigmentation, and overall making the skin look more even, flawless and glowing. It can also be built up slightly where required. The foundation also adds intense hydration to the skin - but without ‘drowning' my combination skin, and is

Less than a week until Christmas, and if you're still stuck for some great ideas, here's a few more for you... These days we all have our phones with us pretty much around the clock, and yes, using the calendar in the phone is handy for reminders on the go - and while I am certainly also making use of that - for me there is still nothing like making to-do lists and ticking them off, and simply seeing things right in front of me in an ‘old fashioned’ planner. And if you’re the same, I have got the most gorgeous one to show you.  You’ve no doubt heard of Collins Debden , the Scottish company that’s been around since 1819, and known for their notebooks, organisers, calendars and diaries. And this year they’ve got a special diary edition out which has been made in collaboration with Savile Row.  Named after the famed suits from Savile Row, this all new bespoke Collins Debden Savile Row 2019 Diary is definitely one for the fussy one like me. The design is a combination of genuine l

The other day I telling how my little boy is so excited to be starting prep at school in the new year, and going to the school and meeting his new classmates and teacher the other day, just made him even more excited. Yes, after a year of kindergarten, as a mum, I am already used to the making of lunches, but now in school, it has to be done five days a week, so the variety is even more important, especially for someone like my boy who has never had a big appetite. The other day I was also talking about the new Smash Bento Lunch Kit, which you can read more about here . As you’ll read, I did find that lunch box and bottle a little on the smaller side for a school kid, but perfect for kindergarten, so today I am excited to be talking about the new Smash Bento Bite Lunch Box and Dual Wall Glow in the dark Bottle. The Bento Bite Lunch Box is bigger in design, and it has lots of features, including; Removeable inner tray (1100ml), with 6 deep compartments for a variety of food, fruit and s

How quickly has this year gone! A year ago my big boy was over-excited about starting kindergarten, and now in the new year he will be starting school, Prep to be exact, and while he is sad to be leaving some of his friends at kinder behind, he is so excited about going to school. But longer days at school, also means it is time to really get stuck into the lunches for him. He’s never been a big eater, so variety is definitely key to keep his interest, and the new Limited Edition Smash Bento Lunch Kit from Smash is a great as it allows for a large variety of food, thanks to the two compartments that are perfect for separating and storing sandwiches, fruit and snacks. The Smash Bento 4 piece Lunch Kit comes with: Smash Duo Bento Lunchbox 450ml BPA Free Drink Bottle Novelty Sandwich Cutter Printed Name Sticker Sheet My big boy absolutely loved it. And the cute bottle and sticker sheet with 17 cute stickers and name stickers just added to the fun. The name stickers also eliminates lost l
