Minnoi – Amazing new lotion? Or not?

Wow!!! Been a minute, right! I missed my baby (the blog). No not enough to actually sit down and write a review but I missed just login in lol. So I received this as PR and no I am not sponsored or required by law to review the product. But guys, you know I have dry skin right, but it can get so scaly! And I’ve always had issues in Winter especially. So let me introduce you to Minnoi.

  So let me…

My Winter Must Haves + an AWESOME Giveaway

Hey Loves, this one will be short and sweet. This is probably going to be the best winter of my life. I don’t have to get up and go out into the cold every morning to go to work …Yay!!! No I still don’t think all that is happening right now is anything to celebrate. But learning to find the good in every situation sure helps. So let me show you my Winter Must Haves oh and there’s a little…

Is the Benefit Porefessional Hydrate Primer Worth it?

Well hello there. How you doin’!? Ok so I received the benefit Porefessional hydrate primer in my last Boxycharm. And since I’ve tried all the others and the original was my ride or die. I had to try the hydrating one coz, dry skin, also winter is coming. I know we aren’t going anywhere, but I like things, and so still wear makeup now and then. I try for twice a week.

So I decided I was gonna put…

New Makeup : Boxycharm April 2020

So many unboxings right. I know, but due to the lockdown all the packages were stuck with Aramex and Customs. Then it’s like they were all released in the same week. Although I skipped the May box due to the lockdown 😦 . So let’s jump straight into the Boxycharm April 2020 unboxing, shall we.

I don’t know if it’s just me but do my boxes seem skincare heavier recently? Anyone else experiencing…

Affordable Haircare – John Frieda Hydrate & Recharge

Hey ya’ll. These days it is so hard to think about what to post about, here on the blog and on Instagram too. Selfcare is trending right now and part of that, to me at least, is finding good quality AFFORDABLE products to use, like the John Frieda Hydrate & Recharge. I found it by mistake and I feel like it could become an all time fav.

Especially because having these kids at home is making me…

Boxyluxe March 2020 – A Shocking Unboxing

Hello lovelies, hope you are all holding up ok. I did a “unboxing” on my Instagram stories but I decided to do a full Boxyluxe March 2020 Unboxing here as well. So let’s get straight into it.

The cost of the box

So this one was R859.53 , it is the most expensive of the boxes. Sadly I made a stupid mistake and opted out of the Fenty box in error. I meant to swop the luxe for that one but oh well,…

Becca ultimate coverage foundation

Since the lockdown I’ve been trying so hard to thoroughly test my makeup, the only things I got to test is what you’re reading about lol. So I put the Becca ultimate coverage foundation to the test the past few days. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve worn any makeup at all, but I decided I need to get out of this funk.

Let’s get straight into it , I don’t have any funny or interesting stories…

Best 10 Step At home Pamper : Quarantine Edition

Hey Loves! How is everyone holding up? At the beginning of the lockdown I feel like the masking and self care was a bit excessive, for me at least. But I think I have a well balanced at home pamper routine down, that I thought I’d share.

First off if you feel like you want to do this or any other routine daily by all means, you do you boo. But as I said for me it felt a bit like overkill. So I…

LA Girl Setting Spray – Awesome or Not?

On the last day before lockdown I shopped my ass off. I got so many new things and just in time too. One of those items was the new LA Girl setting spray. I happened to come across this in the Dischem catalogue and I had to get it. There are also glowy ones, but I’m still working on the Iconic spray I received in my Boxycharm so I didn’t want too many illuminating ones, although they for sure are…

Things have been so weird for me because putting on makeup these days is not even a thing, with the lockdown. But just before we Cyril locked us down, I purchased the Nyx Born to glow foundation and concealer. By now I’m sure you know I have dry skin, and glowing is my jam. I’m not a big fan of matte products and when I do use them it’s usually with a litre of setting spray or dousing myself in…

I did a Brazilian blowout maybe 8 years ago now, and I really didn’t enjoy that. The novelty was awesome for the first month maybe then, the lack of curl was just meh. I didn’t like that experience at all. Then I heard about hair Botox and that was very intriguing to me, so I bought the Medusa Botox Collagen Rewind Treatment from takealot. I bought the small set for R399.00. It says 1 to 2 uses.…

Hey Scarlet’s

Wow it’s been a while since I used that greeting lol. I don’t know if these unboxings add any value on a blog, but I do post pics on Instagram of course. So if you want to , you could follow me there to see the unboxings first 🙂 . We are obviously doing the Boxycharm February 2020 unboxing, because the title.

I can’t give reviews yet, but I am hoping to start an update series where…

Enlarged pores is a real issue for me, and what’s worse is I have dry skin, so I don’t understand why they are so big. None the less, I am always on the hunt for a good pore filling/blurring primer. As lunch would have it I ran out of my Maybelline one, and as usual I was taking a long romantic stroll down the makeup isle at Clicks. What should I happen upon? The revolution blur primer.

I have…

What are you willing to do for extra income?

Happy February to you all. May this month be unusually short. Paycheck to paycheck is no longer my choice, I’m choosing better. If you’re in this boat, what are you willing to do for extra income?

This is what I am willing to do for that extra income. Take my chances on a side husle.

As of this week I am an Inuka member.
