<i><span lang="EN-ZA">As far as hair trends go, the slicked back (or
up) style has certainly been one of 2018’s main attractions. Whether it’s a
centre-parted, gelled down regal look that culminates with a Diana Ross-esque ponytail or a sleek and sexy braided top knot, this is an effortless yet chic trend worth trying. The
style can however be marred by unruly flyaways, so it’s important to know how
to lay those hairs down. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing with you my favourite products to use in achieving this sleek look.</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">I’ve been rocking a slicked back low curly
ponytail for the past two weeks, however my go-to hairstyle is the sleek, ‘no-nonsense’
top bun. It’s a simple, low maintenance up-do that compliments any outfit and suits
all occasions. It also adds a touch of elegance although most important to me is
the instant slimming effect it has - my face is unfortunately still carrying
December’s late night guilt-inducing feasts so I’ve been relying on the
hairstyle to snatch my face and add a bit of height for that low BMI illusion.
Gotta work with what you have!!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA">To achieve a polished sleek look, I rely
mainly on two items: <b>Design Essentials’ Natural Almond and Avocado Curl
Enhancing Mousse</b> <i>(R69.90 (71ml), Clicks) </i>and a<i> </i>synthetic boar bristle brush.
As suggested by the name,
the mousse is designed for enhancing natural curl definition however as
someone
with relaxed hair, I’ve found that it gives my hair a perfectly sleek,
quick set that has a beautiful,
salon-fresh sheen. Most hair gels can achieve this effect however with
relaxed hair, you are most likely to develop unsightly product build up
with the first use. Fortunately,
with the Design
Essentials Natural Almond and Avocado Curl Enhancing Mousse I don’t
experience
any visible build up and my hair is smoothed down with an impressively
strong, long-lasting hold. The longevity of the hold is
however
dependent on the amount of product you use so if you are looking to keep
your hair set for the whole day, apply the mousse generously. As an
added bonus,
the mousse is enriched with sweet almond and avocado oils which are
known to be excellent for retaining hair moisture and nourishing
the hair from within. If you prefer to use gels to set your hair, the <i><a href="https://clicks.co.za/revlon_flex-styling-gel-normal-hold-150ml/p/239202" target="_blank">Revlon Flex Styling Gel</a></i> and </span><span lang="EN-ZA"><a href="https://www.african-flair.co.za/product/ecostyler-olive-oil-styling-gel/" target="_blank"><i>EcoStyler Olive Oil Styling Gel</i></a> are great options. I have a mini review on the <i>EcoStyler Olive Oil Styling Gel</i> in my '<a href="http://www.verymeveryv.com/2016/11/hair-my-relaxed-hair-essentials.html" target="_blank">Relaxed Hair Essentials</a>' and '<a href="http://www.verymeveryv.com/2017/04/hair-how-i-maintain-my-braids.html" target="_blank">How I Maintain My Braids</a>' posts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">The <b>synthetic boar bristle brush</b> <i>(R19.99, Dischem)</i>
is best used as a finishing brush. Ideally, you would firstly detangle
your hair with a wide-tooth comb, style your hair as desired
(centre-part, top knot, low bun etc.), apply the mousse and then smooth
down the hair with the boar bristle brush. The simplicity of this
technique is another reason why I gravitate so frequently to this look.</span></div>

Aside from being chic, effortless and simple, sleek hairstyles are also quite versatile when it comes to styling. From rocking a prima donna top knot one day to donning a thick, femme fatale waist-length braided ponytail the next, the options are plenty. I've been wearing a curly ponytail which is, in fact, a curly weft <i>(name of brand and price TBC) </i>that I pinned onto a low bun <i>.</i> If you are keen to try it out, here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbZg8Kb3r2A" target="_blank">LINK</a> to a tutorial on how to achieve the look.</div>

<i>Each year we are inundated with multiple product launches from the beauty industry, probably even more so since the rise of bloggers and YouTubers. Some of the products that are introduced are quite innovative and readily become holy grails in our beauty routines, while others unfortunately gather dust in the black box of regrettable purchases. As the first beauty post of 2018, I've decided to share with you some of the products I absolutely adored from my 2017 beauty buys and a few which I wish I could return for a full, non-negotiable, refund. </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fortunately, I only have two products on the <i><b>WORST</b></i> list. These are...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.<b> NYX The Skinny Mascara in 'Black' (R129.95, Clicks/ NYX Professional Makeup Store, Sandton City)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I
have tightly curled lashes which make mascara and lash application
quite a mission, therefore when it comes to mascara I try to pick
variants with wands and bristles that are narrow enough to give me a
smudge-free application. Granted, the NYX Skinny Mascara wand is narrow
enough to give my lashes a mess-free coating of mascara, but the
bristles are so narrow that they don't grasp my lashes with ease which
makes for a very futile application. The formula also seemed to dry
up/finish quicker than most mascaras I've used. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. <b>Maxfactor Masterpiece Nude Palette in 'Rose' (R279.95, Clicks)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maxfactor
is great with mascara, but this eyeshadow palette is such a letdown.
The issue with this palette is that it swatches beautifully, but blends
into nothing. The consistency of each shadow is super powdery which
means that you have to apply a number of layers and even then, the
colours don't hold. Moreover, you have to apply the shadow with your
finger because the shadow doesn't cling to makeup brushes. It's a very
frustrating palette to work with and an impulse buy I will forever
regret.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The powdery consistency of the Maxfactor Masterpiece Nude Eyeshadow Palette is quite disappointing.</td></tr>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>On the <i>BEST</i> list we have...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <b>MAC Cosmetics Single Eyeshadows (R110 for refill pans, MAC/Edgars, maccosmetics.co.za)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a considerable number of eyeshadow palettes, most of which usually have dents in only a few of the colours in the palette. I find this to be quite wasteful so last year I decided to start buying single eyeshadows with the intent of adding colours that I don't have, to the collection that I already own. This means that I ultimately curate my own eyeshadow palette with colours that I regularly want to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <b>Real Techniques Mini Expert Face Brush (R130.00, Clicks)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the festive season, Real Techniques came out with a miniature range of their core brushes and packaged them as small gifts that could make perfect Christmas stocking fillers. Now, I don't own any Christmas stockings but I found the size of the brushes to be ideal for my everyday makeup bag. The quality of the brush is as great as the regular sized brushes.<br />
<br />
3. <b>NYX Mineral Stick Foundation (MSF15) in 'Cocoa' (R224.95, NYX Professional Makeup Store, Sandton City)</b><br />
I picked up the NYX Mineral Stick Foundation when I attended the launch of the NYX Professional Makeup stand-alone in Sandton City. Honestly, if you are a fan of the brand, you have to visit one of the stores (other one is at V&A Waterfront, Cape Town) because most of the newest product releases from the US are stocked there and the range of products available is much more diverse than is available at Clicks. Anyway, I picked up the foundation stick because I'd been looking for a cream contour and was quite pleased with the seamless blendability and neutral undertones of the foundation. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Lacquer in 'Slay It' (R139.95, Clicks/Dischem/Foschini)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybelline South Africa had a number of impressive product ranges launched last year and one of them was the Vivid Hot Lacquer range, which comprises 12 high-shine, uber-pigmented, long-lasting lip glosses. I picked up the deliciously dark and vampy 'Slay It' shade - it is a deep aubergine shade and I am beyond pleased with the colour intensity and longevity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara (R69.95, Clicks/Dischem/PicknPay)</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This R69.95 mascara caused a bit of a stir in the American beauty community last year, after it was reviewed by a <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/really-good-drugstore-mascara-essence-cosmetics" target="_blank">Reddit user</a> as one of the best drugstore mascaras on the market. Naturally after reading that, I had to try it out. My lashes are quite curly so the false lash effect is lost on me. I do however love the thick yet lightweight texture of the mascara and despite not being a waterproof formula, it's quite long-lasting and doesn't crumble.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in 'Dark' (R460.00, MAC/Edgars/maccosmetics.co.za)</b><br />
If you are looking for a powder that sets your foundation without the flat, powdery finish, the pressed powders from the MAC MSF Natural range are the ones to consider. They offer sheer coverage and have a matte, yet slightly pearlescent finish which gives you a skin-like radiance. I didn't know I needed the powder until I used it and I loved it so much that I literally scraped out the last particles of powder after I hit pan and couldn't even wait a day before repurchasing it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
6. <b>NYX Glitter Primer (R107.90, NYX Professional Makeup Store, Sandton City)</b><br />
Glitter is all the rage at the moment and yes, I've dipped my finger in a glitter pot or two but it always feels a bit too extra for me. Shimmer eyeshadows, on the other hand, are a favourite however since I have hooded eyes the shimmer tends to transfer and look a mess. The NYX Glitter Primer is quite tacky on application so it helps keep the pigment from transferring.<br />
<br />
7. <b>NYX Total Control Drop Foundation in 'Cappuccino' (R220.00, Clicks/NYX Professional Makeup Store)</b><br />
The top 3 most highly anticipated foundation releases of 2017, in South Africa, were definitely: NYX Total Control Drop Foundation, Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Foundation and the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation. Of the three, I picked up the NYX foundation because I found a shade that suits my complexion perfectly whilst still giving me adjustable, long-lasting natural matte coverage - what more can I ask for? I will provide a more in-depth review in a follow up post.<br />
<b> </b><br />
8.<b> Essence Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara in 'Browny Brows' (R51.95, Dischem/Clicks/PicknPay)</b><br />
This brow mascara is often quoted as the quintessential dupe for the highly-sought after Benefit Gimme Brow, which as you might guess costs a lot more. I use it for adding texture to my brows after <br />
filling them in, which makes them look a lot more natural. <br />
<br />
9. <b>Catrice Prime and Fine Pore Refining and Anti-Shine Base (R92.95, Dischem)</b><br />
If I had to rate this primer based on the pore refining and anti-shine selling point, I would have to put it on the 'worst' list. It doesn't really do much for me in that regard but it does help keep my foundation in tact. I also find it to be quite hydrating which is a plus for my combination dry skin.<br />
<br />
10. <b>Real Techniques 2 Miracle Mini Eraser Sponges (R97.00, takealot.com)</b><br />
Much like the Miracle Complexion Sponge, the Real Techniques Miracle Mini Eraser Sponges swell when damp and are relatively soft to the touch. Although these latex-free sponges were designed for fixing makeup mishaps, I keep them in my everyday makeup bag and use them for touching up my makeup during the day. <br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
11.<b> Palladio Crushed Metallic Eyeshadow in 'Stellar' (R99.00, Dischem)</b><br />
I've hit pan on this eyeshadow so that should tell you how much I love it. I use it mostly as a highlighter because it gives the most natural radiance I've ever experienced in a highlighter. By natural I mean it doesn't look gold or bronze - it simple looks like natural light bouncing off your skin.<b> </b>Although it is a metallic powder, it has a mousse-y texture which helps it blend seamlessly onto your skin/foundation simiar to the application of a cream product.<b> </b><br />
<br />
12.<b> Smashbox Always On Gel Eyeliner in 'Fishnet' (R270.00, Woolworths/Foschini)</b><br />
I despise black liners that smudge and most on the drugstore market that promise to wear for 8 hours without budging usually move in the first few minutes, so I took a leap of faith after seeing some positive reviews on the Smashbox Always On gel eyeliners and bought it. The budget-beauty buyer in me definitely had a mini stroke when I bought
what is essentially a simple, black, <i>'won't save your life nor pay your
debt'</i> gel eyeliner for R250 but you know what, it's a purchase I would gladly make again. It's super pigmented, dries fairly quickly and DOES NOT MOVE! I use it to tightline my eyes and experience has taught me to wait a few seconds for it to set before blinking.<br />

<br />
So those are the makeup products that stood out for me in 2017. I guess, in hindsight, I could have reduced the best list to 7, 8 products but I have to give credit were credit is due. I hope you've enjoyed the read and can refer to these lists when making your next purchase. If any of these products were your faves of 2017 as well or are your current faves, please let me know in the comments below.<br />

I trust that you've had a great start to the year and are making substantial progress on those "New Year, New Me' resolutions. If not, recommit and get onto it! I also fell back on a few goals (my sugar-free eating plan hasn't quite seen the light of day) but I managed to tick a couple off the list, including getting a custom domain name, VERYMEVERYV.COM (heyyyyy) and revamping the blog. Those were actually two of 2017's goals that I didn't meet, so I decided to dedicate January to a bit of blog- and self-care. Self-care for me meant a bit of a retreat from social media (particularly Instagram) - I felt that I needed to gather myself, refocus and just enjoy a bit of a slow start to the year. As you know, everything on social media happens at quite a frenzied pace which at times can leave one feeling a bit displaced. I ended 2017 and started 2018 overcome by extreme anxiety, which came partly from personal issues and also from feeling unmotivated and uninspired with regards to blogging. The last place you want to find yourself as a blogger/content creator is on the avenue of zero creativity and lack of vision, so I've spent the last few days just sourcing inspiration for blog posts and drafting content for the next couple of weeks. I think I'll share some of the tips I used to get motivated in another post, so keep an eye out for that. Actually, follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/vuyelwa_vm" target="_blank"><i>Instagram</i></a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/vuyelwa_vm" target="_blank"><i>Twitter</i></a> or <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/7276533" target="_blank"><i>Bloglovin</i>'</a> to get an early bird notification when a new post is up! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, just wanted to say 'Hello'! It felt a bit odd just jumping straight into a regular beauty post without acknowledging the new year. I hope 2018 is indeed a turn-over year for all of us!</div>

One thing I probably haven't shared with you is that I am a sucker for science and technology (currently finishing my MSc, #WomenInScience woop woop!!), so when La Roche-Posay contacted me regarding testing out their <i> #MYUVPATCH</i> which measures your exposure to ultraviolet radiation, I was all in. As you might know, sunlight is actually good for you. We acquire most of our Vitamin D from sun exposure which helps our bodies absorb calcium (strong bones and muscles, healthy skin!!!). Over-exposure, on the other hand, leads to premature aging, sunburn and puts you at a higher risk to developing skin cancer, hence it is important to stay protected.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The La Roche-Posay ‘MYUVPATCH’*
is a new technology that has been designed to relay localised UV data and
provide you with personalised sun protection recommendations. The patch, which
you apply like a temporary tattoo, is connected to a mobile app (freely
downloadable from iOS App Store and Google Play) which you then use to scan the
patch for your personalised UV exposure reading. Some serious futuristic business
hey?? The patch* itself is highly adhesive and water resistant and can last up
to 5 days – you can pretty much treat it like second skin because it is
ultra-thin and transparent, except for the blue heart which is made up of
photosensitive dyes that change colour when exposed to sunlight.
The dyes don’t interact with your skin and according to the brochure I
received, the patch is suitable for sensitive skin and children. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
HOW IT WORKS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have applied the MYUVPATCH*
and downloaded the app, you create a profile that, amongst other details,
informs the app of your skin type and sensitivity to sun exposure i.e. are you
more likely to tan or burn from extended sun exposure? The app also requires
access to your location so that it can acquire the local UV index (measurement
of how much sunlight your area is experiencing, similar to a weather report).
From my understanding that’s all it does so don’t worry, you aren’t being
tracked! Once that’s done and you’ve had your initial ‘set up’ scan, the app
will sends regular push notifications that remind you to scan your patch and
check your risk level to sun exposure.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
MY EXPERIENCE</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was provided with two patches
and thankfully so because the application of the first patch didn’t go quite as
smoothly as I had hoped. The instructions for the application and scanning of
the patch are pretty straight-forward however it would have been more helpful
if a pictorial or mini video tutorial has been provided. If you still remember
how to apply those temporary kiddies’ tattoos then you are good to go. (Remove
the white sheet first!). I was, and still am, pretty impressed with the
innovation, however I didn’t realise that I had to scan myself almost every
hour. It’s understandable though since
it’s generally recommended that you reapply sunscreen every two hours. I tested
my patch while at work and over the weekend so as to assess the patch in
different environments. At work, my desk is positioned close to a window that
lets in a small amount of sunlight even when the blinds are down and over the
weekend I’m usually driving/ walking around, running errands. In the first few
days the patch worked as anticipated: when I was indoors, it showed that my
risk level was low and only later during the day would it warn me of too much
sun exposure which meant that I had to reapply my sunscreen. On other occasions
I was totally baffled because the app would inform me that my risk level was
high even though I had not done anything different to when I was at low risk. Even
after reapplying sunscreen it would still report risky behaviour. I can only
guess that perhaps my sleeves rubbed some of the sunscreen off the patch on
some days, but I’m not sure about the occasions when I had no sleeves. In terms
of the actually appearance of the patch, I’m okay with the size (+- 3cm
diameter) however I would prefer the colour to be nude (hopefully the
photosensitive pigments can be formulated to be fleshtone). The patch is pretty
comfortable to wear – easily forgettable because it so flexible and lightweight
so creases/stretches with your own skin.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
VERDICT</div>
If you are into apps
that promote healthy living, then you’ll definitely find the La
Roche-Posay MYUVPATCH* interesting to use and should give it a try - the patch is
currently freely available at Dischem stores and online at <a href="http://www.dermastore.co.za/" target="_blank">Dermastore</a>. I believe there’s room for
improvement in terms of the inconsistencies that I experienced, but the technology would definitely assist us with sun protection awareness. I will have a follow up review on the La Roche-Posay sunscreens up soon - these are great for
people with sensitive skin!<br />

Guess who's back to filming?!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I set my blogging goals for 2017 I identified regular blog posts and video content as a priority - I haven't quite fulfilled those goals thus far so this video marks my attempt at getting myself back on track with that mission before the year is through. To get me into the groove of filming I decided to pick an easy makeup look to film, so I went with my go-to makeup look which is a <a href="https://youtu.be/Vxq4Otn_jL8" target="_blank"><i>bronzey natural glow</i></a>. The key product that I used to achieve this look is the SwiitchBeauty #GLOWGASMPALETTE which I received earlier this year along with the #Blend8 8-piece eyeshadow brush pack which is also featured in the video. I have reviewed the highlighter palette below.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Six shades that suit a multitude of skintones</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The #GLOWGASMPALETTE* (R450, <a href="http://swiitchbeauty.com/">swiitchbeauty.com</a>) comprises six superbly pigmented highlighters, five of which are shimmery powder shades and one cream-based. One letdown of the palette is that the individual shades are not named on the palette, but I saw <i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BOaAWwjAfiA/" target="_blank">THIS</a></i> Instagram post that details the names of the individual shades. Based on my swatches I would describe the shades as follows: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Top Row</b>: <i>Rose Gold</i> (Bronze), <i>Midas</i> (Yellow Gold) (cream-based), <i>Bubbly</i> (True Champagne)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bottom Row</b>: <i>Velvet Peach</i> (Peachy Champagne), <i>Baby Girl</i> (Icy-Pink Champagne), <i>Glen Coco</i> (True Gold)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The texture of the individual shades is velvety smooth which makes blending quite easy. If you are the 'blind them with my glow' typa girl, you'll love how intensely reflective each pigment is and that the shades can be layered to create a extra-dimensional glow. I go a bit H.A.M. in the video, so I'm definitely appreciative of the high definition shine! The palette itself isn't the most travel-friendly item from the SwiitchBeauty brand, but it makes up with the sheer gigantic size of the individual pans -it's going to be a long while before I have to purchase another highlighter that's for sure. I can't comment on the longevity of the cream-based highlighter because I haven't used it, however in terms of the powder shades the wear is pretty long-lasting (> 8 hours). <br /><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVizpiqGP89IxVkRtS86F7CoCg7TGhNk6vWNQMrW1S0Bv29pMjmplIzx-EJkl387BAxXKEpKGbAWxLV3-OnHa3WmpSzMi24dgnMMfvvRyktZR5_wGFPK85z0E0gN9hVFjgOPFC3YeZljM/s1600/swiitchbeauty-glowgasm-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVizpiqGP89IxVkRtS86F7CoCg7TGhNk6vWNQMrW1S0Bv29pMjmplIzx-EJkl387BAxXKEpKGbAWxLV3-OnHa3WmpSzMi24dgnMMfvvRyktZR5_wGFPK85z0E0gN9hVFjgOPFC3YeZljM/s1600/swiitchbeauty-glowgasm-1.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The intense pigmentation of these highlighters is truly sublime</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
What I appreciate most about the palette is how comparable the shades are to highly-sought after (and more expensive) highlighter palettes such as the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit. I don't own the ABH Glow Kit so I can't compare the texture and ease of blending, but from the swatches I've seen from other bloggers, the colours look quite similar.<br />
<br />
If you are starting out in makeup (as 2017 goals go) and would love to get a highlighter palette, I would recommend the #GLOWGASMPALETTE as it does have a good range of shades for you to experiment with and the quality is pretty impressive.<br />

Getting braids has always been the more preferred method of protective styling for my relaxed hair - it is fuss-free and relatively inexpensive to maintain. Knowing well that most people turn to protective styling during the cold season, I thought it would be worthwhile to share some of the products I love to use on my hair when it's braided.<br />

One thing you'll realise about my survival kit for braided hair is that it's not really unique from my <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/11/hair-my-relaxed-hair-essentials.html#more" target="_blank">RELAXED HAIR ESSENTIALS KIT</a> - it's simply the combination of products that I use that helps my braids stay neat for longer while keeping my own hair moisturised and protected. As soon as I arrive home from the salon, I literally douse my fresh braids with <i>African Pride Olive Miracle Anti-Breakage Braid Sheen Spray</i> (R35.95, Clicks), a lightweight water-based hair spray that is enriched with favoured natural hair ingredients such as tea tree oil, olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil and multiple other amino acids and vitamins. Aside from being refreshing, I've found that applying a generous amount of hair spray helps with soothing the scalp and relieving that 'just had my hair done' tension.<br />
<br />
For the weeks that follow, I stick to a hair care routine that involves re-hydrating my braids with hair spray every other day (but not as copiously as the first day) and basing my scalp twice a week with a mixture of <i>African Pride Maximum Strengthening Growth Oil </i>(R38.95, Clicks) and <i>SOil Tea Tree Organic Essential Oil (R37.95, Dischem)</i> which has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. I generally don't wash my braids (don't judge), so the tea tree oil helps maintain healthy, fresh-smelling scalp and hair. In the mornings, I apply a good amount of the <i>Schwarzkopf Smooth 'n Shine Conditioning Foam Wrap</i> (R38.95, Dischem) and then cover my head with a head wrap (doek) to lay down any hair that might be starting to stick out from the braids. To keep my edges in check, I apply the <i>EcoStyler Olive Oil Styling Gel</i> (R85 - R129, african-flair.co.za) which offers a strong, long-lasting hold without flaking. I have noticed however that it does build up and trap dust, dirt etc., so I make sure to rinse it off when I wash my face in the evenings.<br />

As much as braids are a fairly low maintenance protective style, it is important to remember that they can only do so much. You need to make sure that you don't neglect your natural hair hence it is imperative to moisture and treat as you would without braids. Neglect often leads to excessive breakage and receding hairlines, and you know NO ONE wants that!</div>

Undoubtedly, red is one of the more significantly emotive hues of the colour spectrum. It commands attention without asking for it. It is sensual, it is sexy, it is 'in your face'. Lately, I have found myself quite drawn to the color, seduced if you may. I have been going through quite a stressful phase of my life and have really needed a 'pick me up' and somehow red found me.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My collection of red lipsticks is actually quite small - I have two MAC lipsticks including the infamous Ruby Woo and this NYX Pro Lip Cream Palette* aptly called 'The Reds'.<br />

In my last <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2017/03/review-worldofnyx-goodies.html#more" target="_blank">POST</a>, I did a mini review on the palette and promised to provide swatches in a follow up post, so I'm here to deliver on my promise. Although the palette is called 'The Reds' it is actually a selection of various shades of reds and oranges which are all surprisingly quite complimentary on dark skin - I am NW45 (MAC). As the name suggests, the palette is made up of cream lipsticks therefore the longevity of the lipsticks isn't as long-lasting as matte lipsticks, however the pigmentation is incredible and very buildable. The individual shades unfortunately don't have unique names (they are just numbered 1 to 6), so I have matched the collage of the lip swatches to the order in which they appear in the palette for easy reference. I haven't worn a lip liner in all the swatches so that the true colour of the lipstick can be seen.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">It’s no secret
that I am an avid fan of NYX Professional Makup, so when I got an invite to
attend the pre-launch of the first #WorldOfNYX in Africa in November last year,
I was very excited. I have since also been able to attend a meet up that they
organised for a few bloggers and influencers in Johannesburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">At the meet up
we got to test out a few of their products that will be launching in April
(can’t wait!) and yes I’ve spotted a few products that I simply have to have,
including a beautiful radiant finishing powder which may just be a worthy dupe
for MAC’s Mineralise Skinfinish Natural range. The meet up was also in part a
celebration of the two new upcoming openings of #WorldOfNYX displays at Mall of
Africa (Johannesburg) and Gateway (Durban). I caught some of the action on my
Insta stories, however makeup artist and beauty influencer Thandi Gama has a
vlog on the event – check out her channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDumJbko810" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">Anyway, as the
excitement mounts up leading to the two new openings, I thought I would share
with you some of the products I received at the pre-launch and give a brief
review, so that you may know which products to get while you are out there.</span></span></div>

quite a number of times, so I won’t go into as much detail. You can however
check out this <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/review-best-of-2016.html?m=1" target="_blank">BLOG POST</a> to get an in-depth review of the palette and other
loved NYX products. What I will tell you though is that it’s a worthwhile
product to have if you love an extreme glow. Furthermore it has seven different
shades that can be layered to create high definition multi-dimensional radiance.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">If I hadn’t
attended the recent NYX meet up, I honestly wouldn’t have anything good to say
about this ombre blush except that it’s pretty and applies velvety smooth. This
particular shade does absolutely nothing on my skin tone so I wouldn’t recommend
it if you have a similar skin tone. It applies more like a muted highlighter than
a blush. A shade that I do love is called ‘Insta Flame’ – it grades from a nude
peach hue to a vibrant hot pink. That particular ombre blush is definitely one
of the ‘less is more’ due to its intense pigmentation and I actually prefer to
combine it with MAC’s Raizin Blush to create a blend that looks more ‘natural’
for my skin (well as natural as pink can look on dark skin, lol). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">Of late I find
myself quite addicted to single eyeshadows as opposed to the regular eyeshadow
palettes. Although a lot pricier than set palettes, single eyeshadows give you
the freedom of creating your own customised palette with colours that you
actually use – I can’t tell you how many palettes I have that have 4, 5 shades
that are untouched which I believe is a complete waste of hard-earned money.
Some of the NYX single eyeshadows live up to the pigmentation and longevity of
MAC shadows, so for a ‘drugstore’ brand I think they do pretty well. This particular
shimmery cranberry shade (dupe for MAC Cranberry) has reasonable buildable
pigmentation however I prefer to intensify it by using an eyelid primer prior
application – try the NYX HD eyeshadow primer. Furthermore, the colour payoff
lasts longer with primer so I would say primer is a definite necessity
especially if you have oily lids like mine. In terms of application, it is
smooth and easily blendable. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">Yes, the name is
honestly that long and the eyeliner actually lives up to it! I’m beyond
impressed with it, so much that I have already bought another one in the colour
‘Golden Bronze’. Ultra smooth on application and extremely pigmented, these
eyeliners are perfect for using on your water line as they don’t budge or fade.
They also work well as a base for metallic eyeshadow and can be worn alone as
cream eyeshadow. The price tag of R99 is quite steep for an eyeliner however
with the many uses that it provides, I can deal with it. NYX also has a similar
lipliner range that is just as pigmented and my favourite colour there is ‘Dark
Soul’ – I won’t say anymore just check it out!</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">The ‘wonder’ of
this pencil lies in its multi-functional claim – according to NYX is can be
used as a concealer, eye brightener and reverse lipliner. I prefer to use it as
a nude eyeliner to make my eyes appear bigger and more awake. As a concealer
and reverse lipliner (lightening the perimeter of your lips to accentuate them)
the shade is too light for my skin tone even though it’s the darkest shade in
the range, however it works well in brightening the arch of my brows. Like
other NYX pencils/ liners, it applies smoothly and had great pigmentation. </span></span></div>

Lipstick in ’Baby Doll’</span></span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">Do you remember
the US, UK hype surrounding these matte liquid lipsticks? When I heard that
they had arrived in South Africa I didn’t waste any time in getting the two
shades most recommended for dark skin tones – Embellishment and Beauty Mark. I
have an in-depth review of the application and pigmentation <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/11/review-nyx-cosmetics-hau.html?m=1#more" target="_blank">HERE</a>, so check that
out. In terms of the ‘Baby Doll’ shade, it’s way too light for darker skin
tones – it’s a true Caucasian nude however I use it to create an ombre effect with
my nude lipsticks. The colour payoff is great and long-lasting, however the
lipstick tends to crack and look patchy if you apply multiple layers of it.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">Now orange
lipstick isn’t really on my list of beauty products to have, but I do love the
formula of these cream lipsticks. They apply like a high-pigmented, creamy
liquid lipstick and set to a semi-matte finish or comfortable matte as some
brands like to call it. At the recent meet up that I attended, I received another
one of these lipsticks in the colour ‘Brooklyn Thorn’ (what a badass name,
hey?) and it’s a cement brown shade that work perfectly as a nude colour on
dark skin skin tones. Another perk of these lipsticks is the longevity of the
colour pay off – very long-lasting however reapplication is required if you’ve
been eating etc. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">Like nude
lipsticks, one can never have enough red lipsticks –there are so many shades to
choose from! This compact cream palette is a perfect collection of various tints
of red lipsticks that are suitable for a multitude of skin tones - I will have
a follow up post with swatches of the six shades that comprise this palette. I’m
normally quite weary of cream lipsticks as they tend to fade much quicker than
matte lipsticks however this palette wears quite well – the darker shades are
better in longevity. All of the shades apply quite smoothly and I can’t fault
the pigmentation, except for the lightest shade, a vibrant peachy orange (top
left corner) which is a bit patchy. I think if you have darker lips, you might
need to apply a colour corrector or concealer as a lip primer to get the true
intensity and colour of that particular shade (I will describe the other shades
in the follow up post). The compact palette is also travel-friendly so if you
are a makeup artist, this is a worthy product to have in your collection. </span></span></div>

with the Glow Mask, L’Oréal has launched two other Pure Clay masks, namely a
Detox Mask and a Purity Mask. Each mask is designed to brighten and exfoliate, detoxify
and clarify, purify and mattify, respectively. I picked the brightening and
exfoliating mask because I want skin that looks and feels healthy, luminous and
smooth. In my skincare stash, I always aim to include products that can help
clear the remnant dark spots from monthly breakouts and revive my often
stressed out and lacklustre skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According
to L’Oréal, the magic behind the Pure Clay Glow Mask is a powerful blend of
three pure clays including Kaolin, popularly used in clay masks due to its
ability to absorb impurities; Montmorillonite which is said to eliminate
imperfections <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I researched and yes,
it’s often used to purify water of heavy metals and pollutants and is a natural
disinfectant) and Ghassoul, which I recently learnt is a Moroccan lava clay
that has been used religiously for centuries by Moroccan women to eliminate
impurities and add luminosity to skin and hair. Red Algae is another key
ingredient in the mask, its purpose being to brighten skin. In Japanese
skincare, it is favoured for its ability to replenish the skin’s natural water
reservoir and enhance its moisture-retention capabilities.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What
I have enjoyed the most about this mask is that although it dries quickly, it
doesn’t feel stiff and uncomfortable like most clay masks and once I’ve rinsed
it off, my skin feel quite moisturised and refreshed. If you have sensitive
skin, the exfoliating granules might be a bit too harsh for your skin as they
do feel like they give you a good scrub. Furthermore, the mask has a distinct
rosewater scent which I quite enjoy but might not work out well for those whose
skin reacts to fragrances. With regards to the ‘glow’ effect of the mask, I
haven’t experienced anything significantly amazing – it simply moisturises your
skin and doesn’t leave it looking mattified. I’ve only use the mask twice a
week (for the past two weeks) and so far I’ve really enjoyed using it. It’s
fairly inexpensive and feels like it doesn’t strip the skin of its natural
moisture which my combination skin and I appreciate.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">Rosehip oil is heralded in the beauty and natural skincare industry as a potent solution for reducing scarring,</span>
dark spots, fine lines and other signs of ageing. Its loaded with
Vitamin C and E - two anti-oxidants that are respectively known for
their skin brightening and repairing properties. I started using rosehip
oil after I suffered a major hormonal breakout that left me with
stubborn acne scars and have loved how its helped the hyperpigmentation
clear up while keeping my skin hydrated and moisturised.</div>

<span lang="EN-ZA"><b>2. Iman Cosmetics Luxury Contour Trio*</b> (<i>R349,
Stuttafords/ imancosmetics.co.za)</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">The
review of this contouring/ highlighting palette is one of my most read
posts from last year and I totally understand why. As a dark-skinned
woman, I know the struggle of finding a suitable bronzer/ contour shade,
so when I was gifted this palette I immediately </span><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA"> (ran to my car, ripped</span>
open the packaging) tried out the darkest shade and found it to be
perfect (PERFECT) for my skin tone. Check out the in-depth review <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/review-iman-luxury-contour-trio.html" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a>.</span></div>

in ‘Mocha’</b> <i>(R215, Clicks/ Dischem/Foschini/Edgars)</i></span><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA"> </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">Revlon South Africa did the absolute most last year with its
'LoveIsOn' influencer campaign and <span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">one of the products that were rolled out
with the campaign was the pressed powder collection with shades to suit all WoC
skintones. I have explained my struggle with finding suitable contour products so when this collection came out, I decided to try one of the powders as a contour shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have hit pan, so you
know that I have loved it.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA"><b>4. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H
Foundation in ‘10’</b> (Beige Praline) <i>(R499, Edgars/Foschini)</i></span><span lang="EN-ZA"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">Throughout the year I had been wanting to try out a high-end foundation and after some research, I decided to get Lanc</span></span><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">ô</span></span>me's
Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation (I also tried Estee Lauder Double Wear
but wasn't too happy with how it oxidised). My combination skin has
taken very well to this foundation: it offers a beautiful long-wearing
and skin-like matte finish and although it also oxidises, it doesn't
look orange like the other foundations I've used (Revlon, Estee Lauder).
I will give an in-depth review soon, so look out for that.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-ZA"><b>5. Urban Decay Vice Comfort Matte Lipstick in 'Blackmail'</b> <i>(R230, Urban Decay/Foschini)</i></span><br />
<span lang="EN-ZA">A number of brands launched in South Africa last year and one of them was Urban Decay. I attended the launch and one of the products I bought was this vampy, deep-plum lipstick. Although I'm not sold on the comfort matte concept (feels a lot like a satin finish), I love how intensely pigmented the lipstick is. I haven't rocked it as much during the summer, but come winter it'll be all I wear.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-ZA"><b>6. Cala Blending Brush '311'</b>
<i>(R39.95, Dischem)</i></span><br />
<span lang="EN-ZA">If you want to improve your eyeshadow application skills,
invest in a good blending brush and practise blending. I saw a number of
local beauty bloggers raving about this blending brush from Cala and
decided to try it out. Affordably priced and a great competitor to
brands like Real Techniques in terms of quality, </span><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">it's proven its worth in hype.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">I’m
currently on my second purchase of this
brow pencil – the first purchase was in late November so that should
hopefully
give you an indication of how enamoured I am with this product. I have
used it
literally every day since I bought it and was pleased to hear from
Jackie
Aina’s <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf3dgDZVuZE&t=423s" target="_blank">recent video</a></i> that its formulation compares very well to the

Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. The fine-tipped wind-up pencil applies very
comfortably
and is thin enough to create hair-like strokes. It is also superbly
pigmented
and lasts all day - a must have in my books. If you have a more
caramel skintone (WoC), try using the lighter variant called 'Ash Brown'.</span></div>

attended the pre-launch of the #WorldOfNYX at Menlyn Park, Pretoria and
received this diamond (pun very much intended) of an illuminating palette in
the complimentary gift bag. I am yet to reveal and review the full contents of
the gift bag, but so far this palette has been the most used item. It
definitely doesn’t hold back on the luminescence and offers long-lasting radiance. Perfect for strobing!</span></div>

I felt odd about jumping straight into my blogging schedule without greeting you and acknowledging that we made it into 2017, so before I go on let me just say 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!' I hope that the year has been good to you so far (if it hasn't, just remember that the year actually starts in February - January is just an hors d'oeuvre to the delicious main meal that is 2017, lol). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been reading a lot of blog resolutions lately and although I haven't actually written anything down for my blog, I know that my two biggest goals for 2017 is to produce more content on the blog and finally commit to making regular <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC35sXUCnCZJvwqRLq12AA2g" target="_blank">YouTube videos</a></i>. I started posting a few videos last year but got so caught up with things being perfect that I totally discouraged myself out of putting anything up beyond what I already had on channel. I obviously do want to put up well-produced and edited content, but I won't be as obsessive as I was last year. Hopefully. Lol. In terms of the blog, it'll be moving to a new home soon and getting a revamp, but I'll announce that when it happens. I've already prepared the move, I just need to get stuck in the admin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back at 2016, I realise that it was actually a good year for me in terms of blogging: I managed to buy myself a DSLR camera that I had been wanting for YEARS (and taught myself the discipline of saving money in the process) and even as a small blogger (numbers wise), I found myself receiving invites to beauty events and having high profile brands feature my blog images on their social media - that always feels like a good pat on the back. I have also appreciated the support that I have received from you, my blog readers/followers/fellow bloggers be it through comments on a particular post, likes on Instagram and even the private DMs regarding blogging - I have enjoyed it all and hope that you will continue to show the love in 2017! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I realised after taking these pics that my 3INA collection looks quite Christmassy, so I thought I'd share with guys my recent purchases from the brand that may inspire a trendy festive makeup look!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
3INA (pronounced '<span id="react-root"><span>MEE-NAH</span></span>') is a relatively new cosmetics brand that hit
the South African market about four months ago. When it launched, the
beauty bloggersphere lit up with lust-worthy swatches and then some, to
celebrate the new arrival. The excitement is now well understood: the brand whose tag line is 'Beauty without expression is boring', offers a wide spectrum of trendy good quality products at a very affordable price range. While I was obviously very eager to get my
hands on the new beauty brand in town, the stores that had launched required
a bit of travelling to reach; travelling which I wasn't prepared to do
so I decided to wait until it was within reach. So when I heard that a
stand alone store had opened at Menlyn Park (Pretoria), I made a crazed
beeline to the store.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cosmetics brand has a wide selection of products to pick from, as you can see from these pictures on my <a href="https://za.pinterest.com/pin/504192120768334531/" target="_blank">PINTEREST</a> that I managed to take while I was there but I was instantaneously drawn to the eyeshadows and lipsticks.<br />
<br />
Here are the ones that I picked... </div>

<span class="more">Roan Rouge* (#102) is a satin-sheen plum lipstick that has a delectable raspberry sherbet scent. The formula of the lipstick is described as having white waxes (beeswax) which gives the lipstick its smooth creamy texture and allows for an easy application. In my opinion, the inclusion of beeswax in the formula makes the lipstick feel slightly cheap, however it definitely helps in giving a long-lasting luxurious pigmented sheen. <i>Retails at R99.95</i></span></div>

<span class="more">I've recently become quite enamored by single eyeshadows and when I saw this olive green shade, it was blissful, unadulterated love at first sight. The shade, called Dusky Green (#132), has a gold iridescence when blended which makes the eyeshadow quite easy to wear as part of everyday makeup. While I may love the colour of the eyeshadow and its smooth application, the pigmentation is a bit disappointing. Several layers are needed to make the colour pop and I would recommend a pigmented primer to enhance the longevity of the coverage. According to 3INA.com, the look can be further intensified by applying with a wet brush. <i>Retails at R129.95</i></span></div>

My favourite products from 3INA are definitely the cream eyeshadows - talk about quick-setting, long-lasting, smudge-proof, waterproof, high intensity coverage! These are prefect as a base for a shimmery powder eyeshadow and can easily be worn alone, however you'll need to blend quickly as they set very quickly and become difficult to remove once applied. I picked #313, a luxurious champagne-gold shade which I found best suited my skin tone and enhances my other shimmery eyeshadows wonderfully. <i>Retails at R159.95</i></div>

Despite being disappointed with some of the 3INA products, my overall impression is that the brand has an impressive colour range of great, affordable products. Check the range <a href="https://za.pinterest.com/pin/504192120768334587/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I swatched some of the metallic liquid eyeliners in store and they are another firm favourite...just patiently waiting for payday!<br />

nutrient- and mineral-packed organic foods on Earth. The ingredients included in
the mask are green tea which is rich in wrinkle-fighting antioxidants; aloe
vera gel which is renowned for its hydrating and skin-healing properties; Spirulina,
a seaweed derivative that boasts a healthy dose of the collagen-producing vitamin
E and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>agar agar, another derivative of
mineral-rich seaweed that gives the mask its jellylike ‘peelable’
characteristic.</span></div>

NYX Cosmetics is definitely in my good books this year! The brand recently updated their makeup collection across several Clicks stores in South Africa and will be launching a much anticipated #WorldOfNYX display at Menlyn Park, Pretoria next week Friday. To say that I'm excited would truly be an understatement! I got my hands on a few of the new products that have been launched and will surely be at the #WorldOfNYX grand opening, so let's see what's good... </div>

NYX Cosmetics describes the Conceal, Correct,
Contour palette as a correcting and perfecting palette that is designed to
cover up problem areas, even out discoloration and enhance your natural
features. There are three shade sets to choose from namely, Light, Medium and
Deep and each set contains six shades that can be used as is or mixed to create
an ideal shade for your skin tone. I picked the darkest set, Deep (3CP03) which
comprises three concealing shades (or highlighting depending on your skin tone),
one contour shade and two colour correcting shades. The shades in this palette have
an overall warm undertone with the concealers respectively having beige, peachy
and yellow undertones (TL, TR, ML) and the brown contour shade (MR) having an
orange-red undertone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a person who
generally dislikes creamy foundations and concealers, I was pleasantly
surprised to find that the creamy formula of the palette is lightweight and
gives a smooth semi-matte finish. Each shade is very pigmented, blends well and
offers long-lasting, buildable coverage. The palette has received positive
reviews from other bloggers and is said to compare relatively well to the MAC
Studio Conceal & Correct palette, however some shades differ in tone. I
haven’t tried the MAC palette but I’m planning to do a dupes/battle of the
concealers post with the LA Girl Pro Conceal range. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the palette has a semi-matte finish,
I do recommend that you set it powder especially if you have combination-oily
and oily skin. The reddish undertone of the contour shade is also
disappointing, however I think the palette as a whole is a great budget- and
travel-friendly kit to have. </div>

<b>NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator™ in 'Gleam' <i>(R145.95, Clicks) </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 'Born This Way' Liquid Illuminator is described as a lightweight liquid illuminator that gives skin a refreshed glow and beautiful highlight. It comes in four luxurious shades namely, Sunbeam, Gleam, Pure Gold and Goddess. The 'Gleam' shade is rose gold in appearance but when blended onto my skin tone, it gives off a champagne-gold radiance. When I first used this illuminator I was bitterly disappointed with the finish. You see, there were no testers available when I bought it and I hadn't watched any reviews (I was having an impulsive shopping spree), so I bought it in good faith, excepting to receive an anointing of celestial glow magnitude but alas, that was not so. The 'Gleam' shade provides more of a 'natural glow' than the Midas touch that I was expecting and while it feels quite smooth and hydrating on application, it gives a rather patchy finish when applied on bare skin and on top of foundation. I have tried applying it using both the buffing and patting techniques and both methods have resulted in the same uneven finish. The only way that I have successfully and happily used the illuminator is by mixing it with my foundation to create a luminous, refreshed skin-like coverage. I also appreciate that I can use it (mixed with my foundation) without worrying about my combination-oily skin looking like a glazed doughnut halfway through the day -it has a shimmery yet dry (not dewy) finish. I would suggest this illuminator if you are looking to enhance your matte foundation, but not as a stand-alone highlighter.</div>

<b>NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in 'Beauty Mark' and 'Embellishment' <i>(R149.95, Clicks)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I saved the best for last! If you love the matte liquid lipsticks from Stila Cosmetics and Colourpop, you will surely love the NYX Lingerie range. It has the velvety smoothness of Stila Cosmetics' liquid lipsticks and the quick-drying, long-lasting super matte finish of Colourpop's liquid lipstick range. Honestly, it's like the perfect marriage. The Lingerie range comprises 12 nude shades that differ in colour. I picked 'Beauty Mark' and 'Embellishment' which are regarded as the best mauve and brown nudes in the collection for darker skin tones. Both shades are highly pigmented, long-lasting and smudge-proof. The colour payoff is builable, however I have noticed that the lipsticks tends to become tacky and crack after a while, when multiple layers are applied. The lipsticks are also quite drying, so I would advise that you apply a lip balm prior to applying the liquid lipstick. Make sure to pat away excess moisture/oil as this does affect the longevity of the lipstick. Compared to the other affordable liquid lipsticks on the market, I think this range tops the lot in quality and colour payoff. I'm hoping that NYX will introduce a more colourful range next, or maybe I'll take the plunge and get one of the metallic lipsticks!</div>

I love makeup but I'm probably the least adventurous person when it comes to colour. I typically stick to my bronzes, golds and nudes however this year I've felt an unshakeable desire to get out of my comfort zone and surrender myself to the season's striking orange-red lips, royal blue liners and flirty spider lashes.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
A quick read of Vogue's précis of 2016 spring-summer beauty trends describes the season's theme as a '<a href="http://www.vogue.com/13359453/top-beauty-trends-spring-2016-fashion-week/">call to individuality</a>'. From what I've seen, fresh youthful skin has been a common appeal to most artists, with the uniqueness being celebrated through varying choices of colour on lips and lids. Here are the seven trends that I'm loving... <br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">This season red takes on a
more youthful, fresh approach. Teamed with a clean dewy face, bright candy reds
and orange-toned reds create a chic, effortlessly trendy look. I love this trend
because it looks just as good on the streets as it does on the runway. A vivid
orange-red lipstick to try is MAC’s Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Fashion Legacy' as seen in this Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BLvXKgkAgqx/?taken-by=vuyelwa_vm">POST</a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">Whether it the full Midas
touch in the form of an obscenely radiant highlighter or gilded lips, metallics
have pushed through as one of the fun trends to try this season. One way to
dive into the trend is to experiment with lip products that contain
specks of shimmers like Yardley’s HD lipgloss in '<a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/09/trends-lipglosses-for-springsummer-16.html#more">Glamour Girl</a>' or create your own metallic lip colour by mixing your favourite metallic eyeshadow with Inglot's <a href="http://www.inglotsouthafrica.com/Multi-Use-Duraline.html">Duraline</a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">Earlier this year, social
media was abuzz with news of Alicia Keys’s ‘woke’ decision to no longer wear
makeup and her movement to encourage more women to let go of the maquillage (French
for makeup, sounds better). The runway celebrated
this trend with sheer skin-like makeup and strobing, a technique that uses light-catching highlighters to add dimension to the face. I'll be sharing my own approach to this simple 'no-makeup' makeup soon, so look out for that.</span></div>

"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future". </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The legendary Coco Chanel is quoted to having said that and while I do not agree with her sentiments, I can attest that perfume has a way of creating a vision, a fantasy if you may, for the wearer. It can take you from a sophisticated black-tie dinner to a breezy, sun-kissed palm-lined beachfront just from the mere bouquet of the fragrance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Designer perfumes are my ideal choice for a memorable scent, however they do come with a hefty price tag. So, to make sure that I can keep them in my perfume collection for a longer time (while I save up for a new fragrance), I like to alternate with more affordable scents and in this post, I share my two current fave spring/summer scents from Zara.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zara perfumes are known to be great dupes for designer perfumes, and while this information was unbeknown to me when I made my first purchase, I was entirely persuaded by the similarity between 'Pear and White Flowers' and Dolce and Gabbana's 'Dolce' to return and make further purchases. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA">Zara’s 'Pear and
White White Flowers’ is perfect for those who prefer light, airy scents. If I
could compare it to a season, it would definitely be the early days of spring
when the air is dusted with the aroma of new blossoms. Its scent is fresh, floral and fruity,
however the fruity component is rather grounded and earthy as opposed to being
overly crisp and noticeable. The aroma has a simple elegance about it and can be
worn as an everyday fragrance although I do recommend that it be worn as a day-time
fragrance purely because it’s so light and soft. In terms of styling, the perfume
would complement a relaxed lunch date outfit (say an off-the-shoulder white dress
with tan block heels) or any chic, minimalist office outfit. With regards to
the longevity of the perfume, I get about four hours’ wear before I need to
refresh the top notes in the bouquet, however the earthy base notes of
sandalwood and amber do linger on throughout the day. </span></div>

2. <b>Zara Women 'Femme'</b> <i>(Roll-on 10ml EDT, R79.95)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Fragrance Composition</u><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Aptly named, 'Femme' is a truly feminine scent. Unlike 'Pear and White Flowers's calm persona, Femme has a rather luxurious and spicy aroma, giving it a very bold and long-lasting sillage. If you are hoping to go unnoticed in a room, do not wear this perfume! The scent is quite sharp and citrusy upon application, but mellows down into a sweet, creamy floral-oriental aroma which actually reminds me of a delicious cup of chai latte. As a dupe, the perfume has been compared to Dior's Hypnotic Poison. Although I've worn this perfume countless times during the day I think it's most suitable as a summer evening or winter scent; it can get a bit overwhelming in hot weather. The most distinguishable ingredient in the perfume is the sweet, creamy essence of vanilla which gives the fragrance its spicy characteristic. If you are looking for a dinner date or girls' night out fragrance, this is it. It's sensual and sophisticated and has an exotic mystique about it. Pair it with a red, figure-hugging little red dress and lace up heels and you are good to go!<br />
<br />
The perfume also comes in a 100ml bottle, however the 10ml roll-on applicator is perfectly sized for a 'night-out' clutch bag or as a member of your travel makeup bag. <br />

Zara South Africa recently added a few other newly launched fragrances to their collection and I think I tested one that smells similar to the ever popular 'Alien' by Thierry Mugler. I will be going back to confirm my suspicions, lol...<br />

"What do you use on your hair?"<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This one question has followed me through shopping malls, hair salons, night outs, public toilets...you name it. If my hair is worn down I'm almost guaranteed to get frisked with that one question but I won't lie, it does feel good to get that little bit of recognition...kinda feels like a 'good job' pat on the back. In those instances I often just name the brand and keep it moving because honestly, to name each and every single product would take forever but since I have a blog, I thought I'd share a bit more on what I currently have in my hair care stash...<br />

My hair care regimen follows five basic steps: </div>

<b>1. Cleanse </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
African 4C hair (my curl type) is known to be naturally dry, and when you top that with low porosity and chemical straightening, you have yourself a dehydrated disaster waiting to happen, so when I buy any shampoos and conditioners, I always reach for those that increase moisture and replenish proteins and vitamins weakened by relaxing. My go-to shampoo has always been <b>ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo</b>, but Garnier South Africa had recently launched their <b>Ultimate Blends</b> range of shampoos, conditioners and serums (& every blogger was talking about the range & Clicks was having a 3 for 2 sale) so I decided to try it out. I picked the variants that contain coconut oil & cocoa butter and avocado oil & shea butter because, well simply put those ingredients are the bomb! Coconut and avocado oil are two of the few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft due to their low molecular size and the lauric acid found in coconut oil helps prevent hair protein loss. Shea butter is praised for its moisturising abilities therefore when used on hair, it coats the shaft and helps protect the hair from damage caused by chemical treatments and excessive heat. The shampoos clean well (they contain sulfates so if you are not looking for a deep cleanse, better pick something else) and offer an average level of moisture and slip. My favourite of the two has been 'The Sleek Restorer'- my hair looks pretty tame and feels soft after using it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Condition</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deep conditioning after cleansing is a must for my dry, low porosity hair so I am particular when it comes to the conditioners I use. <b>ORS Replenishing Conditioner</b> has been a die-hard since my Afro days and I love it still. It smells divine and contains hydrolyzed collagen, silk amino acids (stimulate protein production) and aloe vera extract which work together to give your hair elasticity, softness and moisture. My hair always feels smooth and moisturised after using this conditioner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Anti-Breakage Leave-In Conditioner</b> is one of those that I searched high and low for after reading raving reviews from international natural and relaxed hair bloggers. It boasts a myriad of exceptional ingredients such as water, olive oil, mango butter, argan oil, coconut oil, shea butter, aloe vera extract and plenty others. This lightweight conditioner is amazing when it comes to making your hair feel soft and moisturised , but I experienced quick build up of product when using it which led to me having to wash my hair more often, so I haven't been using it as frequently. One leave-in conditioner that I do love and have been reaching for recently is from Cantu Shea Butter. I will review it separately as I didn't have it when I planned this post.</div>

<b>3. Treat</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hair treatments are the serums of hair in my opinion. They are meant to work more effectively at targeting problems relating to your hair. As I mentioned in my previous 'Hair Goals' post, my two main issues is dryness and breakage. Dryness is linked to dehydration (lack of water, not oil) while breakage results from weakened hair strands caused by chemical straighten, excessive manipulation (combing/brushing/styling) and simply not wearing a doek (head scarf) when you sleep! While I have made changes to improve the moisture in my hair (e.g. showering without a cap to allow steam to penetrate the hair, regular moisturing) and minimise manipulation, the relaxer remains to be my hair's frenemy. To try and compensate for the weakened hair protein bonds caused by relaxing, I use an all-time favourite protein treatment (<b>ORS Hair Mayonnaise</b>) every two weeks and balance that with a moisturising treatment (<b>Garnier Nourishing Repairer Balm</b>) every other week as well. The Garnier repairer balm applies like a lightweight hair mask, but unfortunately I can't say I see its effect, so I'll be shopping around for a new moisturising treatment once its finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other product that I use to strengthen my hair and encourage rapid growth is<b> HR Placenta</b>. My mother swears by it - she has a healthy, rich 'Moses-burning-bush' on her head and well I don't want to go wrong if 'mom's always right', lol. The light oil-serum mixture contains Biotin which is often used as a supplement for improved hair and nail growth. In terms of the placental enzymes that it contains, I still need to do further research on its source as it is not indicated on the packaging. </div>

<br />
<b>4. Seal</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To seal in the moisture acquired from deep conditioning and treatment, I love to use light natural oils such as <b>organic virgin coconut oil</b>. I have already mentioned some of the great benefits of applying coconut oil to relaxed hair however if you are interested in knowing more, check out this article <a href="https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/oils/coconut-oil-for-hair.html">HERE</a>. When I'm not using pure coconut oil, I love applying a blend of oils contained in the <b>African Pride Maximum Strengthening Growth Oil</b>. The ingredients include soybean oil, olive oil, wheatgerm oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, silk amino acids and a multitude of other hair-friendly vitamins. This oil is slightly heavier than coconut oil so I use it to base my scalp and moisturise my ends. I also mix in a bit of tea tree oil to minimise dandruff and keep my hair smelling and feeling refreshed.</div>

<b>5. Style</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My styling products include a selection of lotions and creams, gel, heat-protectant spray and foam wraps. On a day to day basis, I use a small amount of <b>ORS Incredibly Rich Moisturising Hair Lotion</b> to add a bit of lustre and moisture to my hair. The lotion is rich in coconut oil and olive oil and has a rather thick consistency hence I use it sparingly. The <b>African Pride Anti-breakage Creme</b> hasn't been used as much - I think I bought it out of curiosity as it contains the exact same ingredients as the Elasta QP Leave-In Conditioner and even has the same consistency. It is pretty much a less expensive and more accessible dupe of the Elasta QP conditioner. When I tie my hair up in a high or even low bun, I prefer to apply <b>Schwarzkopf Conditioning Foam Wrap</b> throughout the hair then set the edges with <b>Eco Styler Gel</b>. The foam wrap acts as a mousse that sets the hair in place without feeling overly stiff and crunchy. I find the gel to be too messy to use throughout the hair and often leaves residue if you don't wash it out daily. The heat protectant spray that I use when blow-drying my hair, is <b>ORS Thermal Protect and Shine</b> however I am not a fan. The spray contain no 'natural' ingredients and actually feels like an artificial dry oil, however it does add amazing lightweight sheen to the hair.</div>

<i>As you can see, even with relaxed hair my approach to hair care still follows
the trends of natural-textured beauties. I used the majority of these products when I still had my 'fro and haven't felt the need to change. While this post has been quite a long read (sorry!)

mean, if there is a quick and efficient way to perform any normally tedious and

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
swiitchbeauty #Xpress brush glove is no<span style="font-family: inherit;">t a</span> stranger to the blog. Having mentioned it in
my DIY brush cleaning <a href="https://youtu.be/IZjoTF061p4">VIDEO</a> and <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/08/diy-clean-your-brushes-quickly-easily.html#more">POST</a>, it’s no wonder that it is one of the
beauty tools listed here. The brush glove has been the ultimate godsend
in terms of achieving brand new-looking clean brushes wash after wash. An
assortment of textured grooves on the surface of the glove makes it an ideal tool to use
for cleaning the variety of makeup brushes and sponges that you may have. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
favourite from swiitchbeauty is the #LashBestie curved false-lash applicator. If you have
super curly eyelashes like I do, you know how profoundly real the struggle is when it
comes to applying false lashes - the struggle also applies to any false-lash
beginners! Unlike when using a normal tweezer, the mission to get long luscious
lashes is simplified by the wide curve of the applicator which offers a better,
sturdier grip of the false lash allowing you to easily get close to your
natural lash without losing the false lash in the process. The curve of the applicator
also makes it easier to squeeze the false lash closer to your own lash as it
mimics the natural curve of your eyeball (just be carefully you don’t squeeze
too hard – that may hurt, lol).</span></span></div>

swiitchbeauty has been a favourite when it comes to getting helpful beauty
tools because the #SwiitchMix mixing palette is another
innovative product of theirs. When I saw the launch of this palette being
announced on Instagram, I marked down the date so as to be one of the first to
get it. The thing is I hate having to use the back of my hand for foundation/
concealer placement because I often end up forgetting about left-over product
and accidently lean my hand against my bed when applying makeup. Furthermore, I’ve taken to mixing liquid
highlighter with my foundation for added glow and the palette makes the whole
process less messy. I know that when I’m done I won’t have to wash my
hands, so I can quickly rush out in the morning without worrying about makeup
on my hand </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
prefer to do hair treatments at home (saves time and money) so when I came
across the nifty drying hood on Ilze’s Instagram, I flooded her DM with
questions – I had to have it for my deep-conditioning sessions! Ilze was
thankfully generous with information and led me to the online store of
Hairhouse Warehouse – a Pandora’s box for any hair enthusiast! My one worry when
making the purchase was whether the hood would fit my rather generously designed
head, but thankfully it has a drawstring mechanism which allows you to tightly
yet comfortably secure the hood onto your head. Hot air is then allowed to fill
the hood by way of fitting the nozzle of your hair dryer into the free end of
the hood, hence creating a portable, travel-friendly’ drying hood. As mentioned
I use the hood for adding heat when deep-conditioning (beneficial for dry hair
as it supposedly encourages the hair strand to swell and absorb the goodness
from the conditioner), however it is also useful in drying wet hair,
particularly when rollers have been put in.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Last,
but not least, of my favourite beauty tools is the BeautyOnTApp app. I came
across this mobile app after reading a review from mezaentle and being so impressed, I
immediately sent the BeautyOnTApp team a tweet to commend them for designing
such a resourceful and helpful app. The app is designed to be a directory for
small businesses in the beauty and hair industry across South Africa and a
repository for anyone searching for a beauty service in their area. Basically
the app lists the businesses/suppliers available in a particular area which offer hair,
makeup, nail, waxing services and products and allows you to search for the
ones closest to you by way of GPS location. So if a last minute business trip
catches you unaware and not prepped and primed, you can travel worry-free
knowing that you can locate a salon wherever you are going. The app is free to
download on iOS App Store and Google Play, however you will need data to access
its functions. Several businesses are listed in Johannesburg and Pretoria,
however the app still needs more businesses across the country to register and
offer their details. I think it’s such a great initiative and encourage you to
tell your makeup/ nail artist friends and local salons to sign up
for more business. More detail about the app is available on <a href="http://www.beautyontapp.co.za/">www.beautyontapp.co.za</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">About a year and a half ago, I wrote a
review on Beauty Bulletin about Revlon’s Colorstay <span style="font-family: inherit;">24H </span>Makeup Foundation in ‘Hazelnut’
and I see that my sentiments about the foundation haven’t changed, well except
for that one complaint that has actually been addressed. I thought I should
update my review seeing as I’m now much happier with the foundation and there's a competition running with the #LoveSquadSA where the winner gets a year's supply of their favourite shade!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">So in my last review this is what I had to say: "...It provides
lightweight, medium coverage which is buildable for those who
prefer full coverage...My shade in Hazelnut is part of the range that was introduced with
Bonang Matheba; this is the range that caters for various shades of darker skin
tones and it truly matches mine. My only issue with the product is that it
doesn't have a 'pump action' bottle so you need to carefully measure for
yourself the amount of product that you will need..." To see the rest of the review, click <a href="http://www.beautybulletin.com/makeup/foundations/discussions/review?id=20867" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">According to Revlon, the new version of the foundation comprises the same great<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>formula except it's now contained in a <span style="font-family: inherit;">colour-coded </span>pump-action bottle - those with combination/ oily skin can identify their foundation with the black translucent lid<span style="font-family: inherit;">, while the variant for dry/ normal skin has a clear transparent lid</span> . I was truly ecstatic when I found out that this was the new addition to my all-time favourite foundation. I've been going on about it on Instagram in hopes of grabbing that one year's supply (forgive me my Instagram friends, lol), but competition aside, it really is a great foundation for anyone who wants affordable, natural-looking, long-lasting coverage.</span></span><br />

I was recently invited to participate in a South African beauty bloggers' version of Jaclyn Hill's Ride or Die makeup tag and this week the focus has been on skincare, so I thought I'd share my top 5 <b>#RideOrDieSA</b> skincare favourites that I rely on to take care of my blemished combination skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When shopping for skincare, I always look for products that can accommodate both the oily and dry to normal zones of my combination skin. In general, my forehead, nose and chin are oily (the infamous T-zone), while the rest of my face can range from normal to dry depending on the season. More to that, I get the monthly outbreak of hormonal acne so I also make sure to add products that prevent breakouts or minimise the appearance of residual dark spots. You'll notice that I didn't include face creams, serums etc., in my product selection - that's because I'm currently still using my Kiehls' #High5ToGreatSkin products and I already have a <b><a href="http://eau-thermale-avene.co.za/avene-thermal-spring-water-0?_ga=1.207630481.2078782834.1474537935" target="_blank">blog post</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B8OQ_Hr-UQ&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">video</a></b> for that (and I still plan on adding a lengthy review in the future). So onto what I've picked...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Makeup removal is utterly important when it comes to implementing an effective skincare routine, no matter your skin type, but it is even more crucial when you have skin that is prone to breakouts. I've been loving Garnier's Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Water because it removes makeup (including waterproof makeup) effortlessly and effectively and is enriched with Argan Oil, which is loaded with Vitamin E - a natural skin repairer. I've already reviewed the micellar water <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/2016/08/review-garnier-micellar-oil-infused.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>, so if you are interested in knowing its other properties, check that out.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
About two years ago, I started taking an interest in chemical exfoliation when I came across an article that discussed the transformative power of glycolic acid. Unlike mechanical exfoliation which involves physically scrubbing your face or body with an abrasive (e.g. facial scrub with seed granules/ silicon beads, facial brush/ cloth), chemical exfoliation relies on a chemical reaction to remove dead skin cells. Chemical exfoliants include Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like salicylic, glycolic, lactic and citric acids as well as fruit-based enzymes (causes that tingly feeling when you apply a pineapple-based facial mask). Vichy's Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel contains both glycolic acid, apparently the holy grail of exfoliation due to its collagen-building and skin-refining and brightening properties, and salicylic acid which is highly recommended for treating acne seeing as it removes "<a href="http://www.clinuvel.com/en/skin-science/skin-care-products/exfoliants?print=1&tmpl=component" target="_blank">dead skin cells by causing the cells to shed more readily, opens clogged pores and neutralizes the bacteria within</a>". </div>

3. <b>Hey Gorgeous Vitamin C Toner</b> <i>(R180, <a href="http://hey-gorgeous.co.za/" target="_blank">Hey Gorgeous online</a> or Hazelwood, Pretoria)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this year, I decided that I should add more organic beauty products to my skincare stash and Hey Gorgeous (a South African skincare brand) had just opened up a store in Pretoria, so I decided to try out their Vitamin C toner. What drew me to this toner was the 'Brightening' aspect as I had those pesky acne dark spots that I wanted to see diminish. The ingredients of this toner include Orange Blossom Hydrosol (a milder water-based form of an essential oil), Witch Hazel, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Bergamot and Chamomile essesntial oils. I've gone through my fair share of toners, but this one has stood out as the most comfortable on my face (it doesn't feel soapy or leave your skin feeling tight and dry). I can't single out whether it's been as effective in brightening my skin (seeing as I use so many products that target that skin concern), but I've really enjoyed using it (if you look closer you'll notice that the bottle probably has a drop left, lol).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>Eucerin Oil-Control SPF50+ Sun Gel-Creme</b> <i>(R179.95, Dischem)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a confession to make: I hate sunscreen lotion and I only apply it if I'm spending the day hiking or swimming (I haven't swam in over 5 years though, lol). Actually I should say, I hated sunscreen lotion until I came across this godsend right here and I've been using it religiously since I bought it. Think about the things you dislike about sunscreen - greasy-looking, smells like chemicals, leaves a grey/purple tint - none of those in this suncreen lotion and it actually mattifies your skin and acts like a primer. The sunscreen was designed for individuals with oily, acne-prone skin so it works perfectly to keep blemished, combination skin satisfied.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray</b> <i>(R149, Clicks)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm sure a lot of people might find this beauty favourite unnecessary and quite extra - yes, it's basically spring water in a spray can. I thought so too until I started using it and found that it soothes and hydrates my skin beautifully throughout the day and keeps my makeup looking and feeling fresh. The multi-purpose face mist is made from pure natural spring water and was designed to address common sensitive skin concerns including irritation from sun exposure, makeup removal, nappy rash and shaving, amongst other things. According to <a href="http://eau-thermale-avene.co.za/avene-thermal-spring-water-0?_ga=1.207630481.2078782834.1474537935" target="_blank">Avene</a>, the spray's anti-irritant properties have been acknowledged by several international scientific publications (career-wise, I come from a science research background, so I take note when science is mentioned, lol). The spray is really great to use if MAC Fix+ tends to make your makeup a bit mobile in summer and if your skin gets dry from spending the whole day in an air-conditioned office. </div>

I never thought I'd find myself wearing high sheen lipglosses again, but I found a few that have me coming back for more and they are right on track with spring/summer '16 makeup trends! </div>

And they look gorgeous on dark skin...if I do say so myself! ;)</div>

In the past my issues with lipgloss were that I found them messy, not pigmented enough and they wouldn't even last past an accidental lip lick, but thankfully the latest formulas are generally quite long-lasting, loaded with colour and are thick enough not to slip and slide off your lips. The ones that I've been loving are <b>NYX
Butter Gloss in 'Gingersnap'</b>, <b>Yardley London Stayfast High Definition
Lipgloss in 'Glamour Girl'</b> and <b>Iman Cosmetics Luxury Lip Shimmer in
'Icon'</b>*. Although I started reaching for these back in winter, I find that they are quite on trend with the vibrancy and festivities of the warmer season and this year nudes, corals and classic reds seem to be the 'it' colours.<br />

<br />
<b>NYX Butter Gloss in 'Gingersnap'</b> is a lovely toffee-scented mauve brown lip gloss which works well as a nude shade on darker skin tones. Although lightweight, it has a rather thick consistency which means that if you accidentally lick your lips, it doesn't budge. The creamy formula applies quite smoothly and leaves your lips feeling supple and delicious (thankfully with no after taste!). The colour payoff is sheer on application, and unfortunately it sheers out even further after an hour so it's best you wear a nude lipstick/liner to amp up the pigmentation. I love wearing this lipgloss on my 'no makeup' days or when I feel like a simple makeup look. <i>Retails for R124.95 at Clicks</i></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA"><b>Yardley London Stayfast
High Definition Lipgloss in ‘Glamour Girl’</b> is great for those days when you want a bit of colour but aren't willing to commit to anything too bold and in your face. It has a rusty orange hue with subtle gold shimmer so if you want to test the waters with metallics, it's a good start. The lipgloss has a citrusy scent and taste but unlike Gingersnap, it does have an after taste </span><span lang="EN-ZA">(I promise I don't purposefully taste lipglosses - it's just a bad lip-licking habit</span><span lang="EN-ZA"><span lang="EN-ZA">, lol</span>).

What I love most about this lipgloss is the pigmentation - it's incredibly opaque and long-lasting and when it eventually sheers out, it leaves a subtle orange-nude metallic stain. <i>Available at Edgars, Foschini, Clicks & Dischem (retails for R109.95 at Dischem)</i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA">I received <b>Iman Luxury Lip
Shimmer* in ‘Icon’</b> when I attended the launch of Iman Cosmetics Africa's online store back in July and was so impressed with the pigmentation of the lipgloss that it became an instant favourite. Iman Cosmetics describes the lip shimmer as 'a high-shine gloss that is long wearing, packed with Vitamin E, Chamomile and Shea Butter for 'Kiss me' lips.' The particular shade that I received in my goodie bag is a rich candy apple red with blue undertones - one of those reds that looks good on any skin tone and makes your teeth look whiter and brighter! The gloss also applies quite smoothly and as I mentioned has incredible pigmentation. It's also the longest-lasting out of the three mentioned in this post, however it has an indescribable scent which I don't particularly like, but is thankfully quite subtle. I love to pair this lipgloss with fresh-face matte makeup for a classic 'femme-fatale' look. <i>Retails for R249.50 at Stuttafords or online at imancosmetics.co.za</i></span><br />

<br />
Garnier South Africa recently launched the oil-infused variant of their micellar cleansing water and wipes and when I saw them on sale at Dischem, I didn't even waste a second to pick them up!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been a fan of micellar cleansing waters since I first heard of them from UK bloggers and they have been my go-to makeup removal solution since they arrived in South Africa. I can't speak for other brands but Garnier has not disappointed me when it comes to the effectiveness of their micellar waters. I have used both the combination skin and sensitive skin variants of Garnier's and even added the solution to my brush cleansing <a href="https://youtu.be/IZjoTF061p4" target="_blank">ROUTINE</a> and so far, I don't have any complaints.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those who aren't familiar with micellar water, let me explain quickly. Micellar water contains tiny unnoticeable 'micelles' (or molecules) of
oil that are formulated to bind to oils and dirt found on the skin's surface and dissolve them for
effortless cleansing. It is popularly used for makeup removal due to its efficiency in quickly removing long-lasting waterproof makeup
without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. <br />
<br />
Now that that's covered let get into the review...<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
On appearance it's clear to mark out the bi-phase cleansing solution which comprises a lightweight Argan oil-rich layer and a liquid layer that I presume is similar to the other Garnier micellar waters. To use the solution, you first have to shake it so that the two phases can mix and form a silky emulsion which you then apply to a cotton pad and use to remove makeup or else, just opt for the wipes which are incredibly soft and come already soaked with cleansing water. <br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've enjoyed using the oil-infused variants of the Garnier micellar water because they cleanse just as gently and efficiently as the original formula and as a bonus, they smell INCREDIBLE! When I want to remove a full face of makeup, it takes 2-3 soaked cotton pads or 1-2 wipes to get me bare faced. I do however prefer to wash my face after that, even though Garnier suggests 'no rinsing' is required - I prefer the squeaky clean feeling. The mixture of Vitamin E-rich argan oil, Sweet Almond oil and French Rose extract gives the cleansing water a breezy, floral scent which I adore. For those who prefer fragrance-free facial products this variant will certainly be unsuitable as the scent does last a bit longer than the original formula. But it smells REALLY good...<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Since the cleansing water and wipes are designed to cater to people with dry and sensitive skin, the oil content does leaves a rather moisturised, yet non-greasy finish after use. Even if you don't have dry skin, this aspect of the oil-infusion is great as you can pack the wipes into your gym bag and use them to remove makeup before exercising (I prefer that anyway) and have your skin still feeling moisturised without having to reapply any facial creams.<br />
<br />
The cleansing water currently retails for R69.00/400ml while the wipes are R35/25 per pack, at Dischem. I hope the travel-friendly 125ml version of the cleansing water will also be released as I find the 400ml to be too bulky for travel purposes. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are looking to try a different makeup removal solution or repurchase your micellar water, the Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Water is definitely one worth trying. Comment below if you've bought it already - I'd love to know what you think about it.<br />

I initially wanted to title this post 'RelaxedHairGoals' but to be honest, I don't know if my hair will still be relaxed by the end of this year.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been juggling the pros and cons of going back to my natural texture versus keeping my relaxed hair for the past four months. If you've seen my previous 'Hair' <a href="http://very-v.blogspot.co.za/search/label/hair" target="_blank">post</a>, you'll know all about the history of my mane. The decision to go back to my natural texture would be based purely on missing the thickness of my virgin African hair, <span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">however the effort that I’ve put into getting my
hair to the length that it’s at, keeps me holding on and hoping I can salvage the condition of my relaxed hair.</span> </span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You might be thinking, 'But your hair looks fine!' Sure, from afar it does but <span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">over the past few months I've experience some major
breakage as a result of 'over-stretching' my relaxer then trying to relax my own hair at home. I usually go for 4 months,
but last year I stretched my relaxer for 7 months and when it came to relaxing, well let’s just say some people are clearly more skilled than I am because I had all
kinds of hair textures after my first attempt! While stretching your relaxer
(prolonging the interval between relaxer application) is highly advised for
maintaining thick, healthy relaxed hair, it’s important to treat and wear
protective styles during that stretch to prevent breakage along the transition
line (zone between relaxed hair texture and natural hair texture). I kept my
hair braided as a protective measure however treatments were honestly
neglected. I guess I’m now reaping the effects of that neglect.</span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All the issues that I’m currently experiencing with my
hair are related to breakage, in the form of thinning edges and ends. My 4C low
porosity hair and scalp are also generally dry, so if I’m to try and rescue my
crown, my hair goals have to address those factors. Here are the goals that
I’ve drawn up for myself to combat my hair breakage and I hope that if you are
also experiencing breakage, you would also consider these in your haircare
regimen:</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">1. <b>Moisturise day and night</b>: I usually
moisturise my hair in the morning and neglect to do so at night so I’ll be
challenging myself to be strict with my routine - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’ll have a post up next week on the products I use</i>.</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">2. <b>Wear satin bonnet when sleeping</b>: I sometimes fall
asleep without wearing my satin bonnet and wake up in the morning with a dry
nest on my head. A satin bonnet is advised as it minimises friction between
your hair and pillow cover. Friction and tight hairstyles are the culprits when
it comes to thinning edges. If you tend to forget to wear a head cover like I do,
a satin pillowcase is another option. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">3. <b>Have hair treatments twice weekl</b>y: Both
hydrating and protein treatments are advised for relaxed African hair. African
hair is naturally dry and applying a chemical relaxer, which breaks down the
protein bonds within the hair to straighten it, aggravates the dryness. A
hydrating treatment, especially when coupled with steaming, adds moisture to
dry hair and helps retain the elasticity of the hair. Protein treatments fortify
the protein content of your hair, however with low porosity hair like mine
(doesn’t retain moisture well), a light protein treatment is advised as too
much protein can lead to further dehydration. I’m sure this all sounds complex
to anyone who doesn’t follow hair experts and blogs, so I’ll try to add detail
in a future post that focuses on the protein-moisture balance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">4. </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Protect my ends</b>: I have severely dry ends and
although I trim them whenever I relax my hair, they always end up looking
frizzy and unkempt within a week of trimming. I’ve read that wrapping one’s
hair at night can assist with dry ends, so perhaps that’s something I need to
learn to do.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For the next month, these are the goals I want to achieve
and I’m sure there’s a lot more that I could do, but sometimes being obsessive
leads to further damage so I want to keep it simple and await the results. If I
don’t see any positive changes, then we can talk about going HAM, lol!</span> </span></div>

I attended the launch of Urban Decay South Africa when it officially opened in Johannesburg last month and what an experience it was! I also got a few goodies which I'll be reviewing in this post.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weeks before the launch, social media was already buzzing with excitement over the product range that would be available at the stand-alone store housed at Sandton City (next to Stuttafords, opposite Edgars). To add fuel to that already blazing anticipation, Urban Decay announced that it would gift its first 100 customers with a free product and obviously that just steamrolled the emotions surrounding the launch; even I got pulled into the madness! So the night before the launch I debated arriving at the store 4 hours before the actual opening time of 10:30AM (don't judge me, people were preparing to arrive there at 04:00AM okayyy) but my sanity kicked in and I arrived around 07:45. As can be expected, there was already a massive queue of eager 'beauties with an edge' ;) and I was lucky enough be #94 in the line. I snapped some of the key moments of the experience, so to avoid dragging out the story and get into the review, please check out the rest of the launch experience <a href="https://youtu.be/6SAYu2J4S80" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

So while other people were swooning over the UD Naked Smoky Palette, I was huddled in the lipstick corner swatching the 100 Vice lipsticks on display - I'm more experimental with lipsticks than I am with eyeshadows! I decided to get the lipsticks '1993' and 'Blackmail' from the Comfort Matte range - such polar opposite shades but timeless picks.<br />

<br />
'1993' is described as a medium brown lipstick on the <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/vice-lipstick-by-urban-decay/ud771.html?cgid=2_510#start=1&cgid=2_510" target="_blank">UD website</a>; on my skin tone it comes off as a mauvey-nude shade. I've seen other reviews and it's an all-round perfect nude which also suits dark skin tones and can be worn without a lipliner. The formula of the lipstick is very creamy and although it's described as having a 'comfort matte' finish, which I presume means semi-matte, the actually finish feels more like the satin finish from MAC lipsticks. Pigmentation is amazing and the staying power is also quite long-lasting. <i>Retails at R229.95</i><br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
'Blackmail' is the quintessential vampy lipstick that looks good on everyone! It's described as a deep berry wine on the UD website and I agree. If you are into dark lipsticks, you definitely have to try this lipstick. It has a very creamy application (creamier than '1993' in my experience) and although it's also described as a comfort matte, I lean more towards a satin finish. I would prefer it more matte, but it's still a gorgeous highly-pigmented and long-lasting lipstick. It does stain though, as most dark lipsticks do.<i> Retails at R249.95</i><br />

<br />
I don't think I even need to announce my other purchase: if you don't know it, you have clearly not been watching enough YouTube makeup tutorials. I bought the OG of eyelid primers...the original UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Ever since I started watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, this primer has been the most mentioned and most used. I definitely wasn't going to leave the launch without it! If you have oily eyelids like me, you'll definitely love this primer because it helps your eyeshadow stay on longer and have a more vivid appearance. It has a creamy application but dries off matte and translucent. The doe-foot applicator makes application quite easy but I prefer to apply the primer with my finger to avoid the applicator getting discoloured with foundation/concealer from my eyelid. <i>Retails at R279.95</i><br />

As one of the first 100 customers, I received 'Scratch' single eyeshadow* as a complimentary gift. UD describes it as a shimmery rose gold, but it's definitely more rose - perfect for spring. When I applied this eyeshadow for the first time, I immediately understood the obsession surrounding UD eyeshadows. It is velvety smooth, finely milled and highly-pigmented - ideal trio criteria for any eyeshadow. It also blends very well and has great longevity. <i>Retails at ~R200+</i><br />

As a first time Urban Decay cosmetics user, I'm very impressed with the quality of their products. You get your money's worth in quality for sure. I wish I had bought the Naked Skin concealer as well - I've read and seen good reviews about it. One thing I'll definitely be queuing up again for is the Naked Ultimate Basics palette; I just saw that it will be released in September and ya, I will be ready! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love to know which UD products you love/ are using and whether you'll be queuing up with me when the #NakedUltimateBasics palette arrives in South Africa, lol! Please comment below.</div>
