Today I have a review for you on the new
Revlon Ultra HD Lip Mousse Hyper Matte.
The claim:
Revlon claims that the Ultra HD Lip Mousse Hyper Matte is a velvety
matte high definition colour with a creamy whipped mousse texture for a
lightweight, moisturizing feel.
They say the formula is ultra-matte without drying, flaking or has that
uncomfortable feel.
The product:
If you are familiar with the Ultra HD Lips from Revlon then you
will love the Hyper Mattes. I will be honest here and say I never
tried the Metallics from their range (because I'm not a huge metallics fan)
however the Hyper Mattes I am certain that I will enjoy them.
I also have noticed that they made some changes to their applicator,
application is also better however they did not have to change it because it was okay
the way it was.
the way it was.

| Shades: Crimson Sky, Dusty Rose, Red Hot, Spice, Death Valley, 100 Degrees Rocky Plum, Sunset |
My thoughts:
There is just something about Revlon's Ultra HD Lips, the smell
reminds me of vanilla Ice Cream and anything that smell's like that
is a great on my books. The claim is true that the lippies are non drying
but have that mousse-ish feel.
On the first swatch some shades do come of vivid (however Revlon does mention that
they are vivid) for me I think a build-able vivid shades.
My verdict:
Revlon has created 8 shades for this collection, because I'm
a collection person I would say get everything. If I would leave out
one shade I would say Dusty Rose however my sister will disagree with me
on this one as she likes the shade.
Overall it's a great collection, great job Revlon

MY THOUGHTS
Adding that Melanin shade
to the Even Complexion and Stayfast foundations because
an expanding shade range to my firm favourites is always great.

would be in round 2 who know (".), Overall I'm happy with the collection
and congratulations once again Bonnie this range is awesome.

Cindy here (Zanele's Older sister) last month we received a Royal Baking Powder PR package
containing some baking powder and a recipe book.
Zanele is not much of a cooker nor a baker LOL as I am.
Being a big sister that I am who loves baking and cooking,I loved that the
PR package came with a recipe book so it was game on.
Challenge accepted.

I substituted the Cinnamon with Mixed Spice as it is delicious with baking and also has Cinnamon.
Baking doughnuts for the first time was very easy and very quick.

You just have to make sure that your oil is hot enough, and no kids in the kitchen (please).
Can't wait to bake other cakes on the recipe book,
as most of the cakes contain everyday ingredients that are already in the kitchen cupboard.

Today I got to attend the Eucerin Even Pigment Perfector Launch Event at the beautiful
Summer Place in Hyde Park.
At the event we got to learn more about hyperpigmentation and the main cause.
(I would like to venture more into this topic of hyperpigmentation so I'm doing more
research on it for you guys, once I'm happy then I will share my findings).
Eucerin then unveiled new products containing a thiamidol
(a new formular which Eucerin claims to be the next best thing in skincare).
(a new formular which Eucerin claims to be the next best thing in skincare).
I will share with you the product claims and at a later stage I will share with you my review.
Claims taken from https://www.eucerin.co.za/
Hyperpigmentation serum
Melanin is a natural pigment that gives color to skin. Exposure to sunlight, hormonal influences and aging can cause an increase in melanin production and trigger hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation appears as dark patches and age spots (also known as sun spots) that make skin look uneven.
Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Serum brings together two serums that work in different ways:
- Thiamidol: an effective and patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation is clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation, preventing its re-appearance with regular usage
- Concentrated Hyaluronic Acid: one of skin’s most effective moisturizing substances helps skin to attract and retain moisture
The light emulsion is clinically and dermatologically proven to reduce dark spots and prevent their re-appearance while renewing skin’s look. First results are visible after two weeks and improve continuously with regular use. Skin is smooth and looks renewed, even and radiant.
Pigmentation day cream with SPF 30
Melanin is a natural pigment that gives color to skin. Exposure to sunlight, hormonal influences and aging can cause an increase in melanin production and trigger hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation appears as dark patches and age spots (also known as sun spots) that make skin look uneven.

It is clinically and dermatologically proven to reduce dark spots and prevent their re-appearance. First results are visible after two weeks and improve continuously with regular use.
With UVA and UVB filters (SPF 30) the moisturizing day cream offers effective protection from the sun and reduces the chances of skin developing sun-induced pigment spots. Skin appears even and radiant.
Sun spot night cream

Hey guys, hope you are well this evening I got to attend the Mr Price Home 2019
Winter Collection Event.
It was held at the Mr Price Home Store in Sandton City.
When I got there around 6.30pm the shop was still opened as most shops at the
mall close around 9pm.
We where served cheese and wine plus a few appetizers.
I used to work in Sandton City and I never thought that one day
I would attend an event where I got to drink
some wine while shopping at for the latest trends at Mr Price Home.
Mr Price Home held an intimate session with some of their loyal shoppers as they got to unveil
their latest winter collection, at first glance I thought it would be earthy tone but nope,
we are in a Coral and Velvet season
and my thoughts (how different).
There are navy blue velvet pillows that I have been eyeing and I think
it is now the perfect time for me to get some color.

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

Hey Mommies, hope all is well and okay.
Last week there was no posts because I'm trying to change the blog direction and there are alot of factors involved so please be patient with me.
so without wasting any of your time let us jump straight into this weeks post.
share with you how I use each product.
Seat back and enjoy.
My babies wash routine is pretty simple and then there are days when I like going
extra and those days are when I wash her hair.
I normally was Asanda's Hair twice weekly so I thought that I should share the routine using the products that were sent to me by PURITY.
 |
| HAIR |
She has her own conditioner oil water solution that I use on the daily to make sure her hair
is always soft and easy to comb out, this
makes it easy for me to untie her hair during wash days. Today to wash her hair
I'm using the Purity Detangling Baby Shampoo
a little goes a long way and the shampoo is not that drying however I will still
recommend that you go in with a conditioner after.
While she is still in her bath I like to comb out her hair then tie it there while it is still damp and while she is also pre-occupied with her toys, then I apply
some baby oil to her hair.
That's is it.
 |
| BODY |
After doing Asanda's hair I like to go in and use the Purity Special Baby Shampoo to wash her body, the shampoo is not heavily scented
however it does create a lot foam which I like.
Once she is dried up I like going in with a bit of baby oil and some aqueous cream and because it is winter now and she is at that crawling and walking age I like
going in with some petroleum jelly especially on the knee area.
PURITY Stretch Mark Cream, Nipple Cream and Insect Repellent
I will do a post on them in the coming future.
Have an awesome day.

Hey guyzies, one thing that I know when it comes to
content creation is that when comes to YouTubing
it is not as easy.
I'm currently working on upgrading my software and last night when I tried to purchase
my card was not enabled for online banking in 2019 (I KNOW RIGHT)
I apologize in advance that the quality will still be sub-standard
for only April I promise.
Overall I'm happy with the content that I'm producing I know
it's a bit far off but your girl is being consistent.
Today I have a tutorial for you and I hope that you enjoy it
as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Hey guyzies, hope all is well and okay.
The amount of pictures in this post are just ridiculous but I wanted for you to
see everything that I saw and did.
I first heard of Beauty Revolution (a beauty convention held in Sandton Convention Center 6th and 7th April ) event on radio, when one of
the event organizers was doing a radio interview on YFM
and I was like BeautyCon (A beauty convention held every year in the States and UK) is that you?
I then checked their site and Instagram pages for
more information and I saw their line up and I was like yeap.
This is it, this event I'm most definitely going to.
I kept an eye out on their Instagram page for specials and all.
Then they said if you are a Blogger, YouTuber, Instagramer you can
apply for a media pass which I did and I got it a week before the event.
I wanted to make sure that I arrived really early on the Saturday, because that is what I like
to do when I go to any event, you know just to take
pictures and stuff before everyone else gets there and that's what I did I'm sure
I arrived at like 9am and it was not that busy except for like the SwiitchBeauty stand (they were busy
throughout the whole day selling products #amazing)
When I tell you that the pictures that I took do not do justice to the set up that was there.
REVLON, NYX, SWIITCHBEAUTY, LUX POND'S,
SHIELD, TRESEMME, LÓREAL
every brand that I mostly enjoy within the drugstore realm was there.
Their set up was just beautiful, and well thoughtout, my expectations
were meet and exceeded guys.
What I can maybe add for next years event is the following:
An announcer especially for masterclasses and main events on stage,
if there was one I did not see/hear it.
Can we also get the main stage at the convention center, so we can see all
the brands thoroughly and because as the day
went on crowds grew and there was a bit of minimal space. (I'm sure even the brands themselves
would want to have some chairs within their display area so that they can have
a place were they can demo their products to their consumers)
More chairs at the main stage because the discussions/talks that were
there needed to be heard thoroughly as they were very engaging and I learned a lot.
Overall I'm really happy that we as the beauty community
have an event like this and oh oh oh the amount of influencers/bloggers/youtubers that
I met on the day was really awesome.
I will mention a few VONGAI, YOLZCHANNEL, SARA LANGA,
ILOVEMELMO, SANESH and my girl who
I was chilling with the whole day VANESSA.
Overall I was a very happy girl in make-up heaven.
See you soon

No Easter is complete without an Easter egg hunt, right? But the one we have planned is going to be a tad more rewarding than finding a couple of chocolate treats…
Our digital Easter egg hunt will take place between 19 and 22 April and gives Theme Park visitors the chance to win a share of R70 000 in cash and prizes.
Guests simply need to download the Easter app on arrival, solve the nine clues, find and then photograph all the Easter eggs hidden in the Theme Park in order to complete the hunt.
The first 150 visitors that find all the eggs each day will receive a set of headphones valued at over R100. Those who do not make the first 150 spots will all receive a small token of appreciation for playing.
All participants will be entered into the draw for R10 000 in CASH, which will take place on Monday 22 April in Town Square at 16h30.
So get to Gold Reef City this Easter weekend and join the Big Dash for Easter Cash!
