So since the month of Spring is upon us I thought it would
be a good idea to share some of my favourite spring time products
with you.
I think that by now, everybody and their dog have heard of,
seen and jumped onto the L.A. Girl concealer wagon. I have too. These babies
come in an array of shades to fulfil your cover up and contour needs. Yippee!
This crease resistant concealer is lightweight but provides the coverage you
want, especially if you carry Gucci handbags under your eyes like I do, without
making you look like your make up was caked onto your face. The packaging is
super convenient with a simple squeeze tube and smooth brush applicator. I find
that the brush isn’t ideal for blending so I tend to use my own blending brush
for this part but nonetheless it does the job. I’ve only been using this
product for about a week or so and a little goes a long way, I can already see
that these are going to be a regular in my concealer drawer.
I tend to have unruly hair especially with the humidity in
the South African summer so some sort of frizz control product is never too far
from me. Currently, I have “oil of Morrocco, Argan oil” by Marc Anthony at
hand. It’s new on the shelves in that line of products so I figured I’d give it
a go. I am yet to be disappointed. It contains a unique combination of
ultra-light Mediterranean olive oil and Argan oil infused with Shea butter. I
think this equals a very happy head of hair. The Keratin in this product deeply
penetrates while the Vitamin E nourishes, leaving your hair glossy and smooth,
perfect for those hot summer days where the last thing you want to do is have
to deal with a continuous bad hair day.
Oh how I have raved on and on about ‘Oh so Heavenly’ bubble
balms, practically all over my social media feeds and you’re all probably so
sick of hearing it but let me explain to you why I’m raving: I have thick
Portuguese lips, I cannot ever part with my lip balm, I panic when I forget it
at home or misplace it. In turn, I have tried dozens of lip products to keep my
lips moisturized and happy so as you can imagine as soon as I saw these on the
shelves at Clicks I jump right on it. The first thing I love about these is the
adorable names, there are 3 to choose from, “Chocolate Caress”, “Strawberry
Smooch” and “Cupcake Kisses”. The names alone make you want to buy them, they
also have an uncanny resemblance to the “EOS” lip balms, I haven’t used those before
so I can’t really comment on their quality. I do however love these “OSH”
bubble balms, they are long lasting and really keep my lips moisturized and
their packaging is really cute. Of all 3 ‘Strawberry smooch’ is my favourite…
Since it’s the beautiful month of September I figured that
my nail polish should be bright and happy so I got my hands on Rita Ora’s
“Peachella” (408) from Rimmel®. There are several other colours in this range
but I think I instantly fell in love with this coral hue. This polish is shiny
and long lasting; I’ll definitely be going back for more. Thumbs up from me.
I think that every girl not only likes to look good but
smell good as well and that’s where these Nivea products fall in. They keep my
skin so moisturized and happy, not to mention that they smell phenomenal! I
have two in my bathroom right now. The first of which is “Happy Time” shower
cream, containing Bamboo Milk and an uplifting scent of Orange Blossom. The
smell of oranges in this product is lovely and so appropriate for spring. The
other is called “Powerfruit Fresh” shower gel, containing revitalizing Acai Berry and antioxidants of blueberry. I’ve only just realised
this but I think I may have a thing for fruity smelling shower gels… You won’t
regret putting these into your shopping baskets.
There you have it my loves, five of my spring favourites, I
hope that you find yourself purchasing some of these products and enjoying them
as much as I do
S
xoxo
