PRODUCT REVIEW: MARY KAY SKINCARE FAVOURITES

Image
One brand that I find is totally underrated is Mary Kay. The products are only sold online or through consultants, which perhaps is a reason, but even so, the brand has so many amazing products. So today I am going to do a rundown on some of my favourite Mary Kay Skincare products.. The Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover* quickly and easily removes even long-wearing and waterproof eye makeup. I love that this two-phase doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue, and that it is fragrance free and so super gentle that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes. RRP: $22 / 110ml The Timewise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask* is a super hydrating mask that is oil free, so suitable even for my combination skin. It has a lovely gentle chamomile scent, and feels so lovely and soothing on the skin, adding moisture and nourishment for a more plump, soft and healthier skin. RRP: $45 / 85g The Timewise Replenishing Serum+C* is a super lightweight serum with added vitamin c to help hydrate the skin while reducing the

One brand that I find is totally underrated is Mary Kay. The products are only sold online or through consultants, which perhaps is a reason, but even so, the brand has so many amazing products. So today I am going to do a rundown on some of my favourite Mary Kay Makeup products.. The Semi-Shine Lipsticks offers full-coverage with a lovely luminous shine, The are long-wearing, but as they are also very moisturising they feel so soft and comfortable on the lips, just like a lip balm. My fave is the dark mauve shade, Rosewood, though the lighter dusty pink shade, Raspberry Ice, is also great for daily wear, and the bolder brighter pink fuchsia shade, Powerful Pink, is great to brighten up the face. RRP: $25 / 3.6 The Lip Liners are soft and creamy waterproof liners that applies easily and smoothly to define the lips and prevent lip colour from feathering and bleeding. The slim, retractable pencil has a built-in shaper cap, which I really love too. RRP: $18 / 0.28g The Chromafusion Eye

PRODUCT REVIEW: PJ MASKS ROLLING LUGGAGE FOR KIDS

Image
When you go on a holiday there is always so many things you need to think about, especially for me, who is a serial over-packer. And this time, I am going to Europe for four weeks with my two little boys in tow. Tell me there is not a lot of things to remember bringing this time. Time to reduce the things I bring for my self, to make room for their stuff too!  But at least, as we navigate the airports, they will be having their own little PJ Masks Rolling Luggage*. These little Hard Shell suitcases, are like any other carry-on rolling luggage, except that these are super lightweight, in kiddie-friendly sizes, and of course come with the adorable PJ Masks featured on the front. One of those TV shows my two little boys have been loving for some time is the PJ Masks, and no wonder, as don't all kids love super heroes. The PJ Masks trio includes two boys and a girl, the 6 year old Connor, Greg and Amaya, who during the day go to school. But when something happens in the little town, th

PRODUCT REVIEW: PETER THOMAS ROTH WATER DRENCH HYALURONIC CLOUD HYDRATING TONER MIST

Each autumn when the temperature drops, but otherwise combination skin always seems to get a shock and goes a little dry. But this year, I’ve got the newly launched Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hydrating Toner Mist to help out.. One of those most recent discoveries, is Peter Thomas Roth, and I’ve simply been amazed at the quality and efficacy of the products. I’ve recently talked about the Rose Stem Cell Range which you can read more about here , and the Glycolic Range, which you can read more about here .  Having combination skin, prone to breakouts, it is not usually intensely hydrating products I am seeking out, but with my skin going drier with the cooler weather, plus a planned trip to Europe next month (and we all know what long haul flights to to the skin!!), needless to say that I was excited when the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hydrating Toner Mist* landed on my desk.  The Toner Mist is designed to drench the skin with hydration, also helping to visibly reduce the appear
