Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week ! Today I'm sharing another AWESOME new & limited edition collection from L'OCCITANE . "In Burkina Faso, during one of the steps in the production of shea butter, the women whip the paste and obtain a mousse-like texture that is both soft and light. It was this that inspired the L’OCCITANE Laboratory to create Whipped Shea Butter – an innovative combination of maximum nourishment and a light, whipped texture. In the year that L’Occitane celebrates 25 years of using fair trade Shea Butter from women’s co-operatives in Burkina Faso, discover a new limited edition body care range. An exceptional shea butter formulation keeps this new texture as rich and nourishing as ever, while as soft and light as whipped egg whites. There couldn’t be a more delicious way to nourish dry skin." So onto the products - Body Cream (R340,00 ) -   An innovative way of caring for the body, with the nourishing properties of a butt

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great week . It's finally FRIDAY ! HOORAY !

Hi guys. Happy Friday !  Today I'm sharing some GOSH cosmetics I received this week to help you get a Valentine's Day look. I received 4 products and I'm sharing them with you today. GOSH Forever Metallic Eyeshadow Stick (R139 ) - Silver Rose This is such a gorgeous colour. I didn't use any eyeshadow primer, and this colour lasted the whole day. This is a very creamy and soft easy to apply eyeshadow stick, and has a waterproof formula. The shade Silver Rose is such a gorgeous colour, I didn't feel the need to use any other eyeshadow , this is PERFECT on it's own. Available in 8 shades.  GOSH Waterproof Volume Mascara (R130 ) So it's no secret - My favourite type of mascara is ANY waterproof mascara. This mascara provides you with a smudge-free look all day long (which is a bonus because I touch my eyes so much during the day ). The super sculpting rubber brush adds dramatic volume, lenght and definition without clumping or flaking. GOS
