  • If you ask me what is the one make up item I love the most my forever answer will be mascara. I just think it makes the biggest difference on ones face, eyes are the window to the soul and all that jazz. 👁 These days concealer is heavy in second place though! ☕️ I’m also very fussy when it comes to mascara from the wand to the consistency I know what I like and I know what I don’t. So it’s very rare for me to find a mascara that ticks all my boxes being; volume, length, definition and blackest of the black with no transfer! -ain’t nobody got time for panda eyes 🐼 The new #happygolash mascara from @thebodyshopsouthafrica is incredible, it has a lovely wand that’s not too fat or too thin the formula isn’t too wet so no transfer and it lengths without compromising on volume, it’s definitely going down as one of my fav mascaras! Swipe to see it in action aswell as my top tip to mascara application 👉🏻 PS if you want to read my many mascara round up reviews head over to CARAFAY.co.za and search mascara ✌🏻 #gifted #thebodyshop #mascara
  • Let’s talk about nails.. for most of my life I’ve been a nail biter it’s a nasty cycle of biting followed by immediate regret at how ugly they look. To me there is nothing more put together than a beautiful manicure or pedicure. Unfortunately because I am a nail biter if my nails aren’t ‘perfect’ (same length, shape and clipped cuticles) then I have an excuse to bite. 💅🏻 I’ve recently been nibbling away and my nails have really taken flack by being so weak, thin and dry. That’s why I decided to give @bio_sculpture_sa a go; basically Biosculpture is form of gel that is strong, flexible and breathable to allow the natural nail to gain strength there is also minimal buffing when removing. The system works by adding 2 layers of clear gel onto the natural nail, a Colour and then sealing off with another clear coat of gel. 🦢 Another plus is when my nails have grown out a little I’ll go for a fill and change up the Colour so I won’t have to do a full soak off. Swipe to see my nails before you’ll notice when you swipe that my nails are all different lengths and the thumb is defo nibbled. So far I’m really loving Biosculpture and am really looking forward to having healthy nails again! #hosted experience at Sorbet
  • Here’s a look at what’s in our shower! First up the stick on shelves are from @ebay aren’t they just so much better than those yuk metal ones 💁🏻‍♀️ Starting from the top I have a honey comb exfoliating sponge 🧽 I always use a shower gel from @thebodyshopsouthafrica they’re just really great, don’t leave the skin feeling dry have the best scents and last a while. I’m loving the cactus blossom variant at the moment it’s such a fresh scent 🌵🌸 Then there’s Eucerin face wash, this stuff is the biz for inside the shower it’s a huge pump bottle and works so well at cleansing the face and removing make up! 🧴 Then my @gillettevenus razor which currently has a Breeze soap blade on it which I’m really enjoying, way more than the Olay variant. Lastly we’ve got these two gorgeous @owaysouthafrica amber bottles of shampoo and conditioner, they’re perfect in the shower with their pumps and leave my hair feeling super clean. I was once told by a hairdresser that a sign of a good shampoo is when it doesn’t foam up too much, this guy has hardly any foam and you need a tiny bit. I do sometimes need to supplement with a mask on my ends as it can be drying on dyed hair but nevertheless loooove it! Also totes reusing these bottles when they’re done 💁🏻‍♀️✨ What’s in your shower? 🚿
  • Love this little nook in our home featuring this gorgeous sunburst mirror that @makeitraynex gave us as a house warming gift ✨
  • Let’s talk about exfoliating; it’s important to add some form of exfoliating into your skincare routine but please please don’t exfoliate your face daily with those harsh everyday washes 🤢 the premise of exfoliation is to remove dead skin cells that could potentially be clogging the skin and uncover fresh new cells below. This is not only for your face, your whole body should be exfoliated from time to time, you don’t want to be like a lizard! 🦎 There’s really no need to scrub away at your delicate skin with a harsh scrub, it’s amazing how effective a gentle exfoliator can be; not to mention the crap that is in those harsh exfoliating beads (which often end up in the sea!) so I always opt for a liquid exfoliator or a sugar scrub like @lorealskin ‘s new sugar scrubs! 🍭 #SugarScrubIt - Glow scrub ✨ a smooth scrub with açaí powder, grapeseed and monoi oil this one is about the glow, skin texture and complexion. - Clearing scrub 🥝 a slightly gritty scrub with kiwi seeds, peppermint and lemongrass essential oils. This is my personal favourite, I find that my skin feels clean and smoother without feeling tight. - Nourish scrub 🥥 a super nourishing fine scrub full of cocoa butter, coconut oil and cocoa grains. I’ve loved using this on my lips it’s made the biggest difference as it moisturizers at the same time 👄 do you exfoliate?
