Review | Filorga NCEF-Reverse Eyes
I must be honest; I don’t usually use eye cream. I just use my serums right up to my lash line, and I’ve never had an issue. But when the new Filorga NCEF-Reverse Eyes landed on my desk, I had to give it a try.

Review | Claire Hill
I was recently contacted by a brand new arrival in South Africa – Claire Hill. This anti-aging Ozzie brand had me at their packaging; simple, chic and understated. I’m not one to be sold on packaging, but the airless pumps and simple design really caught my eye (also, my new bathroom is white, so…).

Review | Dermaceutic Sun Protection
Ok, so I’m not going to lie; it took some doing to drag me away from my beloved Elizabeth Arden Great Eight to test some new sunscreen, but for Dermaceutic, I was willing to do it.

Compare | optiphi Complexion Control & Dermintense Active Gel

Review | Biomedical Emporium Biostratum peel
Towards the end of last year, I found myself on a bed in Dr Judey’s rooms. I trust her implicitly with my skin, so when she suggested we do a Biomedical Emporium Biostratum peel, of course I said yes. But what exactly is it and what does it entail? Read on...

Review | Clicks Beauty Box
Clicks sent me some new goodies to try over the holidays. I’ve been testing them all, so here are my mini reviews of them all. Revolution X Roxi Roxxsaurus Rise or Die Palette (R250) I’ve never tried Revolution eyeshadows before, and I’m happy to report they are good quality and great value for money – there are 18 shades in this palette, making each shade less than R14.

My favourites shades are Cookie and Gingerbread. Nyx Suede Matte Lipstick in Kitten…
