Alluring Lush

I always walked in and out or just pass the door of a Lush store 100 times, for the aroma of their products. Wish there was a way that i could post it up on my blog, but, there isn't you will have to make a visit to the store to understand the  magical spell of the fragrances that roam the Lush store. It is addictive and heavenly of pure indulgence, seems wrong to lust over a heavenly smell but, you just do with Lush.

I am a fan of their Bath bombs and their shower jellies and have been using them for months on and off, as a personal treat to myself. Lately, Lush had launched the jelly masks and the hair treatments, the promos had me intrigued.

I dragged my partner in crime to the store In Rosebank Mall, for a look around, tester and to purchase a few of these new items to put on trial. He isn't one for shopping and standing in stores for long periods of time, he's such an online shopper, but, online shopping doesn't give you the Lush lust unless you hit by the fragrance of indulgence. The fragrance and the item displays of Lush had him hooked. He even tried feeding me a cupcake face masks, the horror, lol.

I purchased a few items from the store and this review is based on the jelly face mask


The birth of Venus

Retails at :R145-00
Available: online and in store
Range: Face, Body, make-up
Perks: Vegan approved, against animal cruelty and handmade
Website: https://za.lush.com


The birth of Venus jelly face mask, has light and milk jelly texture, smooth on the touch and an alluring smell of the ocean. I did the basic cleanse and exfoliation and then rubbed the mask between my fingers and applied it to my face. The application was easy and the instructions clear. Felt like a jelly fish waiting for the time to pass me by.


The product is for combination skin and assists in skin balancing, after 2 uses over 2 weeks, I can give an honest verdict. The first week my face felt soft and smooth but the oil build up was a lot more than i was use to on my T-zone, the sun burnt and dry areas were peeling and I felt uneasy about my skin and the product. I gave it a second try and boy oh boy was I impressed. My skin tone is evening out and the skin is finding a balance, my T-zone is not as oily as previously mentioned and my normal to dry areas feel more moisturized.  the areas that peeled the previous week are not blemished or burnt, they my natural skin tone.


So Lush is alluring for its scent but they are vegan approved and against animal cruelty which is a bonus. Well for added value their products are handmade, which means it has that personal touch. Lush runs a recycle promo, which is, if you collect 5 empty containers and return to the store you can receive a free face mask. Lush has so many reasons to make you come back to their store and I definitely want to live in one of them.

The Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition

Move over... Creamy  color  correctors! There's a new set of skin-evening formulas in town, and they now come in powder form.    Allow me to introduce you to the just-launched Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition set, which features,  count 'em ,  seven color-correcting powders. In honor of Shiseido's O.G. Rainbow Beauty Powder, which launched in 1917 almost 100 years ago , the beauty giant just dropped a gorgeous, limited-edition set of color-correcting powders, all neatly packaged in small satin cream-colored boxes reminiscent of sweet little  engagement ring  boxes. Sadly, no sparklers were stashed in these mini cases. Like other color correctors on the market, these powders are designed to cover specific issues. So, for example, white, which should be applied to the T-zone, brightens; yellow evens out the complexion all over; beige smooths texture; rose, which should be brushed on the apples of ...

An update on havoc, or maybe not... PART 1

OMG, This was typed out and I forgot to post it. So, as promised I would give an update on my new take on life for 2018. One month down the line and I have no words to associate with this way of life. It had strong points, weak points and points of pure surprise. Being un-ruled by uniformity and time limits, self given freedom, made days go by with such bliss. I would go to work and eat at odd times, do work in my own time and realized I worked better working at my own pace with no background harping from management behind me. How did I get management to back off my case, I didn't do it intentionally, it was a random out burst of frustration. I was handed a project to handle with a 2 day tight time frame, and, me going through a phase of rebellious change was not going to keep to this time frame, unless I truly wanted to, which at that point I didn't want to. I had brainstormed ideas and methods of completion of the work and choosing the quickest way forward. It was ...

Ever Beauty

I personally have never heard of  Ever Beauty® South Africa  , till I had come across the advert on Instagram. As a beauty and makeup addict, I was eager to see what the brand had to offer and if it was something to get excited about.  The brand was looking for brand ambassadors and MUA's to try out their products.  This is what the founder has to say about the brand:  "Ever Beauty® South Africa offers affordable, quality & professional makeup formulated to compliment the diverse range of skin tones across Southern Africa.The Ever Beauty® brand is all about using makeup as a platform to embrace peoples’ unique differences as well as inspire everyone to embark on the Ever Beauty® journey of capturing, owning and proudly embracing their own beauty." I had browsed their site and their products before signing up for their MUA starter kit, not looking at their pricing, because, at that point I wasn't interested in purchasing. I received an email re...
