JENNIFER HUDSON TALKS ABOUT HER WEIGHT

JENNIFER HUDSON TALKS ABOUT HER WEIGHT

In just 2 years Jennifer Hudson has lost about 37kg (80lbs) and now she says she is done!

Many people may think that she lost the weight very slowly. Honestly, think about it, 36 in just 2 years with personal trainers, chefs and motivational people at her disposal is quite a long time. But don’t think it is a bad thing! If you lose weight slowly, it’s more likely to last, because you’re not…

What Is Jungle Juice???

Right, so now that I am a mommy, I’m going through more things than just finding out the latest beauty products, tricks and tips. Motherhood goes beyond that. It’s now whats best for your child, and of course yourself. How on earth can a mother look after her child if she doesn’t look after herself first.

So if you’re a mommy, you know or have heard of jungle juice, haven’t you?  It’s a ‘magic’…

THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: CIPRIA MILANO

THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: CIPRIA MILANO

A few weeks ago I was fortunately invited to attend the launch of Cipria Milano in Cape Town at the exquisite Nobu at the One and Only.

How amazing is this invite? Colours for days!

Cipria Milano was a brand I was not familiar with – and so I listened very intently to the details. It’s refreshing to come across a fresh approach to beauty, strength and confidence at a valuable price. All of which…

CREAM OF THE MAKEUP CROP!!! – UPDATED

Cream of the crop, Makeup Crop that is.

Are you a  lover of makeup, its application, products and just what it can do for a woman?

There are so many great makeup artists out there that are really good at this art.  Being a natural artist myself, I find drawing, blending and the  artistic flow quite natural.  But, I always want to learn more.  Makeup artists like to have little secrets for sure,…

The Fine Line : Business

The Fine Line : Business

What defines the invisible boundary that we are all bound to cross at some point? The line I’m referring to today is that one that we experience in business in terms of service delivery or lack thereof. I understand there are various ways to approach this, but without throwing my toys out the cot now I feel as though I got taught a common decency skill that others seem to lack. This common…

The Long Hiatus : Life Happens...

In case anyone wondered what happened to me? Read here...

*enters stage left*

Is this thing on?

Does this blog thing even work?

From someone that went almost everyday keeping updated with my favourite blogs I appeared from the outside to have fallen off the interwebs completely for the last year or so… life happened outside the internet. Many challenging things happened, but most of all, I’ve got a lot of stuff to write about now.

Rain Africa Biologie Kalahari Melon Hand Lotion

Johnson's Hydration Essentials 2 in 1 Facial Gel/ Mask

Johnson’s Hydration Essentials 2 in 1 Facial Gel/ Mask

I have a huge love for skincare products, and like to try out everything. My skin is not sensitive at all, so I pretty much try out all products that fits my combination type skin. With that being said, I was very excited to give this product a try as you can use it in two ways.

This nifty little product acts both as a face mask and a daily moisturiser. It is light blue in colour and smells…

When I received this product for reviewing purposes, I realised that I am in no way the correct candidate to test this product and review it properly as my hair is naturally straight and I have to curl it. So I decided to ask a friend with naturally curly hair to give this product a try for me and report back.

Rochelle (my friend) was super keen to try it as she has extremely natural curly hair and struggles with issues such as dryness, no bounce, minimum shine and very little to none definition in her curls.

This is the before picture. Rochelle opts to wear her curls loose and natural every day and occasionally she straightens them.

This is the after picture. I noticed a definite change in the appearance of her hair that morning when she walked into the office.

Rochelle was super happy with the noticeable changes in her hair from using only one styling product that is meant for her hair type. She said her hair does not feeling sticky or crunchy at all from using mousse. Her hair looks shiny and more healthy without feeling or looking greasy at all. Her curls are more curly and bouncy.

All in all, she loves this product and have repurchased another can of this. This product lived up to each and every one of its claims for her and that impressed her immensely.

If you are having the same issues with your curls, pop into a Clicks is store and have a look see at what they have to offer.

  Love,

Leandra

NYX Butter Gloss

Let me start off this post by saying that I am in no way a lipgloss lover. I prefer lipstick in general.

Then I received one of these butter glosses and still I was sceptical as it is just another lipgloss with a catchy name.

My main problem with lipgloss is the feeling it leaves on my lips. My lips feel sticky and superficial in a way. I want to wear something on my lips without having to feel…

I was sent this lovely little palette to review earlier this year, but fell instantly in love with it and it quickly became a  permanent fixture in my makeup bag. So much, that I had forgotten to write a review about it. So when I was using it once again Friday morning, I realised that it is very close to hitting pan, and that I should tell you how I have been experiencing it.

E380B – Walking on Eggshells

Now let me tell you why I love this little palette so much.

The colours are simply beautiful.

It blends easily without a fuss.

No fallout of product at all.

It does last a long time. Seeing that I have been using mine for nearly five months every day and it still has not physically hit pan yet.

The shades in this palette are right up my alley and I have been able to pull off many different looks with it.

It lasts most of the day, but I have found that if I apply an eyelid primer that it extends my wear to the whole day.

As you can see they are marked eyelid, browbone and crease. I have tried applying it as they indicate and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I prefer to wing it each day and see what looks I can come up with.

I know this picture does not do a lot of justice as the lighting is just so bad, but as you can see I used the browbone and eyelid shade to create this look. It is a very natural everyday look for me. And I use the crease shade a lot when I want to add a subtle smoky eye. The gold undertones in the brown is just perfect.

Anyway, I will definitely be repurchasing this product. You can find all Wet ‘n Wild products at Clicks stores nationwide and this little gem will only set you back R49-95, which is great value considering the great quality.

Till next time

Leandra
