Trying to be extra sun savvy this summer (as all beauty bees should strive to be!) I figured that if wearing sunscreen everyday is super important, then going out into the hot sun with only a protected face isn’t the most sun savvy. My arms, shoulders and décolletage tend to be exposed on very hot days, so I was looking for a body sunscreen that I could wear almost every day to. Some people might ask why not just use your face sunscreen on your body, however they tend to be s

I mentioned in my Eye Care 101 post that I recommend using two eye creams – one to suit your needs during the day and another one to regenerate the skin around your eyes are night. As you might guess, the same logic applies to all your other skin care products. The new year might be the perfect time to ‘scrub up’ your skin care routine and make sure you are using your skin care products consistently and at the right time! Why bother using products at the ‘right’ time? Well wh

Micelle Solutions – aka cleansing waters – have taken the beauty world by storm even though that have been around for quite some time. I find it interesting asking why a product suddenly has been dropped into the spot light. Cleansing waters have been around in Europe for years now, and it wasn’t until some famous makeup artists started quoting that it was their ‘secret’ to removing makeup backstage at shows that people started going bananas for it! Plus, the fact that it’s F

Summers coming up incredibly quickly here in the Southern hemisphere (I can’t believe its NOVEMBER! – how crazy is that!) so it’s probably the perfect time to talk about the importance of using sunscreen! These days, we are spoilt with choice when it comes to sunscreens. While that’s a good thing, it can also get very confusing. Should we use sunscreen all year round? Do we use the same sunscreen at the beach and then daily, on our face under makeup? Or do we need a separate

I know a little while ago while reviewing Erborian’s CC creme (you can read that review here) I said that I was a bit sceptical when it came to BB and CC creams. The reason being, that if a cream claims to do lots of different things then it probably won’t do them all very well. Hence I would prefer to use more targeted treatments for problem areas and makeup suited exactly to my skin tone (hence the limited shade range). I do however, like Bioderma as a brand and I thought t

I recently collected some new goodies which I thought I would share with you 🙂 When I reviewed Erborian’s CC Creme a little while back, I said that I probably wouldn’t be trying anymore CC creams or BB creams for that matter (if you want to read why, take a peak at my original review here). Well I gave in when I saw and read a little about the Bioderma BB cream. I thought that if the colour of the bb cream was light enough and it contained a high spf, it may be a good soluti

I wanted to show you beauty bees three hand creams which been helping me out a bit during this winter! The newest addition to my collection is Avon’s Clinical Luminosity Hand Cream with SPF 15.  This one really intrigued me because you don’t often find hand creams with spf in them (even though it makes sense to add it in!) and it also happened to be on sale 😛 I bought mine for $15 reduced from $30. Not bad eh? It’s a really good alternative to Clinique’s Even Better Dark Spo
