Image
Today I'm reviewing South African Handmade Beauty & Skincare range called Natuurlik Pragtig -  a brand known for its high-quality, natural and handmade products made from lovely locally-sourced ingredients. Natuurlik Pragtig believes that every woman should look and feel beautiful within their own skin and their goal is to boost women's confidence by providing them with the best.

Natuurlik Pragtig Love Bath Bomb  This bath bomb is made with lovely natural products such as Bicarbonate of Soda, Kaolin Clay, detoxifying Epsom Salt and moisturizing Cocoa Butter .

Revlon Photoready Candid Foundation

Image
I'm very much in awe with the new Revlon Photoready Candid Foundation , meet bold and bare makeup that you and your skin can feel good about! This foundation provides a medium yet buildable coverage and the innovative formulation contains the antioxidant and anti-pollutant power of Vitamin E plus anti-blue light ingredients to help protect the skin from the environmental stressors we encounter every day.  It’s also super easy to apply, really creamy - while providing such a beautiful, natural finish. It basically melts into my skin like a moisturizer and the coverage is very pretty and polished too.  It is oil-free and allows my skin to breathe which makes it perfect for oily to combination skin types and our current sunnier, South African weather.  It also stays put right throughout the day plus there's none of that nasty midday slick and shine.  I also love the durable tube that fits easily into my handbag along with my other Rev...

NIVEA Hyaluron Cellular Filler Elasticity Review

Image
I started using the NIVEA Hyaluron Cellular Filler Elasticity range back in June 2019, so I had enough time to really try and test these products properly and so today I’ll be giving you my thoughts on it. I recently celebrated my 35th birthday and I’m honestly super impressed with the overall condition of my skin. For a girl that lives and grew up in sunny Namaqualand known for its harsh climate, my skin is in a pretty good state.  So what’s so different about the NIVEA Hyaluron Cellular Filler Elasticity range? Well, this cell-activating formula has Collagen, Hyaluron and Elastin booster in the blend to stimulate the skin’s own cells to activate the exact same structures. It also has been scientifically proven in cell culture experiments that after continued use of the NIVEA Hyaluron Cellular Filler Elasticity range the active ingredients facilitate the skin to create its own Collagen – showing more than a 20 % increase.  The skin’s own Hyaluron level increased...

Your Rock-Bottom Will Turn Into Something Beautiful

Image
If you would ever get so lucky to sit and have a long in-depth conversation to anyone over 80 you’ll discover that such a person had gone through a lot of highs and lows. They’ll also tell you about all the amazing surprises life has bestowed on their way and that how your   rock-bottom will turn into something beautiful . Older generations, in general, have such beautiful stories to tell about survival because they've lived through it all.  But first, let’s talk about rock-bottom. What is rock-bottom? In my opinion, rock-bottom is a feeling where you think you've reached the end – but as they say, thoughts are not facts . My rock-bottom will look completely different from your rock-bottom and so will yours be different from mine. We all go through difficult experiences in life and they don’t all look the same . A few months ago I felt super annoyed and miserable when I realized that after years of hard work my poor little blog was still not visible to those that matt...
