Bring a pop of colour to your lips this Spring with Clinique Pop Lip Colour & Primer!

Last week I talked to you about the new Clinique Pop Lip Colour & Primer  and honestly I couldn't wait to get my hands on them to try them as they sounded so good..
..and they really are good, in fact too good! You will want all of them! 
When I hear the name Pop coming from Clinique I listen! After the success of the Cheek Pop, Clinique is launching Pop Lip Colour + Primer.









Wonderful rich colour lipstick and primer in one amazing product? Wow I am impressed! I have tried them for myself  and personally love the smooth, creamy texture of the Pop Lip Colour & Primer. I also found it quite moisturizing thanks to the Shea Butter and Murumuru Butter so no more dry or flaked lips as the primer has also a smoothing action. After a few hours from application my Pop Lip Colour was still going strong as it is very longlasting.
The 16 gorgeous, flirty shades are all  very wearable and perfect for Spring/ Summer,  just choose your favourite as there is really one to suit everyone!
The package is really inviting and love the reflective case which I use as a mirror on the go..and my name is on it..!!!
What are you waiting to bring a pop of colour to your lips?
Don't forget the  #CliniqueSmileWeek competition on Clinique's facebook page is still going on, so post your best Smilefie (Smile + Selfie) on their page for your chance to win a Pop Lip Colour + Primer

Summer is coming and the sun is getting warmer, which is all positive but the sun unfortunately can cause a lot of troubles to our skin if not protected properly. MAC has launched the perfect product : Lightful C Tinted Cream SPF 30 with radiance booster.
This great product not only protects skin from the sun but offers a variety of benefits in a colour correcting cream that reduces imperfections while increasing the natural radiance of your skin instantly and over time.

Denim and leopard! ROAR!


On Saturday, we went for a nice walk around the lake to take advantage of a bit of sun that came out  for a little while. 
Although the weather wasn't great I enjoyed seeing my hubby and have a nice walk with him and Jasper. 
I worn a casual outfit with my jeans shirt and green 7 For All Mankind Jeans and a baseball's style jacket. My Hipsters for Sisters leopard flat bag was the perfect choice for the day as it is ideal for when you are walking around and you want to have your hands free and not carry many things with you. The leopard flat bag helped to give my outfit an edge as well as my B.Shou statement necklace.
Hope you all had a nice weekend!

The Good Nail Philosophy:Kure Bazaar

Nail Bazaar is the first Nail Lacquer which combines the ethics of an Eco-natural formula with vibrant colours created by model Kartika Luyet in 2012.
While pregnant she started paying attention to the food she ate and also on the products she utilised. From there the idea  to create a Nail Lacquer made of natural ingredients.

Kure Bazaar is really the "The Good Nail Philosophy" healthier nails in fashionable colours which is eco-trendy , ethical and also not tested on animals. The inspiration for the colours comes from the trends spotted in the streets of Paris.
Kure Bazaar are 85 % natural based on wood pulp wheat, cotton potato and corn. Kure Bazaar Nail Lacquer also preserves the vitality of nails respecting their natural cycle of regeneration.
After years of research, they were able to dramatically reduce the use of chemicals with no compromise.

A radiant complexion with Dr.Hauschka make-up!


It is no secret that I am a huge Instagram fan and spending many hours on the social I keep seing wonderful pics of make up brushes. There seems to be one for everything and many of you have so many, also of different makes. I soon realized I needed to up my game and got myself these two brushes from Dr. Hauschka.
One is a Rouge Brush and the other is a Foundation Brush. I like the look of both brushes, they look really smart and glamourous with their black and gold colour combination.


Rouge Brush

This in my opinion is a really good quality brush which allows a smooth application of your favourite blush. I have tried Dr.Hauschka Rouge Powder which blends easily and warms the cheeks with a healthy glow.
The smaller head provides a fine, even application for shading and highlighting. Whether you want to create rosy cheeks or accentuate your countours this brush will be a great helper. It picks up powder so well and ensures a uniform result.
The bristles are made of  soft, natural goat hair for exceptionally smooth rouge application.





Foundation Brush

This soft brush is made of vegan, synthtetic fibres. The large-area of the brush allows for easy application of make-up but also of masks and other liquid products.
I used it to apply Dr. Hauschka new foundation nr. 1, which is Macadamia for light skin tone. The foundation gives the right coverage without being too much, and balances out skin's imperfections and uneveness for a smooth and radiant complexion.
The brush is suited for applying foundation but also for shading and highlighting. It can also be used to correct any eye shadow residue under the eyes, which with the brush can be easily corrected.
It a true versatile brush and it really helps in giving the complexion a radiant look without imperfections.

Braun Satin Hair PowerPerfect dryers: powerful, compact and lightweight!


The face of the campaign of the new Satin-Hair PowerPerfect Hair dryers is non other than gorgeous actress Jessica Alba..which is a very good start. She always looks immaculate and her hair is so shiny and beautiful of course  I had to try the new Satin Hair 3 for myself!
She has fairly long hair like me so at the end of the day she must have the same issues as me?? I always found it hard to  find a good hair dryer that is both powerful and lightweight.  Drying my hair can take more than 20 minutes and using a heavy hairdryer can leave me with an aching arm. The new Satin Hair dryers are powerful but lightweight which is great.
Some women use their hair dryer daily so it is important to make sure that is also gentle on the hair. Hair dryers are also the number one styling  for any cut and style. Braun Satin Hair dryers are engineered to give you perfect styling results without damaging hair!







Braun Satin Hair 3 is quite compact but ultra powerful so makes  drying hair fast and easy! All the Power Perfection Hairdryers combine power and lightweight  design for no compromise styling capabilities. 
The ergonomic design makes using the dryer really easy as it allows 360 ° handling.
Braun Satin  Hair 3 combines optimum temperature with high air volume making drying really a quick process.Thanks to the ionic function and the active ions  it helps to boost shine and combat frizz.
Enjoy great styling and beautiful shiny hair with Braun Satin Hair dryers!
