Benefit Cosmetics

With spring finally here, invites the launch of Benefit Cosmetics in South Africa. I cannot put my excitement into words, I am super excited this brand returned to South Africa.



 I missed it the first time around as they were stocked in Woolworths and pulled out of South Africa in 2012. I’ve seen their products on websites, Instagram and Youtube videos, but I was always too scared to have them shipped to SA and being slapped with high duty tax costs.
Reading older South African reviews though, I’m scared at what the prices will be. For instance, in 2012, the Cha Cha Tint (Mango Lip & Cheek Stain) was priced at R315. On the Benefit website today, it’s priced at $30 and after factoring in 14% tax and profit mark ups, I’m hoping I’ll be able to walk out with an impressive.



This time around, Benefit is setting up fort in selected Edgars and Red Square stores. So far there are only Johannesburg & Cape Town selected stores but I’m sure they’ll be rolling out nationwide very soon.

So now on to my wishlist since its my birthday month. 

My first pick would definitely have been the POREfessional Primer that so many people rave about.

I would really like to try out the They’re Real Lengthening Mascara and Roller Lash Mascara to curl my super straight lashes. Trust me I’m not exaggerating.
And I’m a sucker for highlighters so I’ve got my eye on the High Beam and Girl Meets Pearl Luminizer.
And lastly from the amazing brow products and gorgeous blushes something fresh and bright for spring. That’s my wishlist for now… oh!  One day…






I really hope the selection of Benefit products are vast so I can try out a few different things but if you would like to see all their products you can head on over to their website.


LOTS OF LOVE!
Xoxoxo

The power of the Haldi Ubtan

 Lil spice never stop the sun from shining... 😂😂😂 In my previous post named "Turmeric for clear, bright and acne free skin" posted on the mid 2017, are some variations to this haldi ubtan, used for various skin types and conditions. I have been using and speaking about 'Turmeric Masks" before most people  and companies have been investing time and testing into turmeric and it's properties.. The new craze is the 'Golden magic of turmeric', and people are buying into it, without knowing the history and origin of it.  Here's a bit of Background: 5000 years ago on the Indian subcontinent, men and women took care of their skin and hair during rituals connected with religion.   In the ancient   Ayurveda   tradition, face and body masks called  U btan   were applied and adjusted according to the season. Ubtan masks are in fact the very first cosmetic product ever used in the world. Ubtan is a mix of various herbs, p...
