I thought I would share a few of my fab beauty finds for the week. I have heard to much about the new Revlon Photoready Eyeshadows, which include a primer to help give you seamless application and lasting wear. The palette I chose is called “Impressionist” a gorgeous combo of gold and sparkle. I have not tried it yet but I will be sure to share my review once I have!
In keeping with the gold theme I could not resist this Mavala Nail Polish shade, Lamé Gold, it is a subtle gold pearl shade with a hint of pink shimmer. Very pretty 
The other Mavala shade, “Sapporo” is a great nude shade, reminiscent of a Cafe Latte.
The last fab find is an Essence Nail Polish Corrector Pencil. I have tried many different brands of corrector pens in the past and most I have found to be useless! This one by Essence really does work. It will live in my makeup bag, ready for nail polish application on the run! I have been known to apply nail polish in my car on many occasions

Recently I attended a Skin Rejuvenation Event, at Legs Eleven Lazer Spa, in Green Point Cape Town. We learnt about the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) in skin rejuvenation, using the latest, state-of-the-art technique in photo-facial therapy. The procedure is designed to stimulate and encourage healing and regeneration of the skin through the application of a broad-spectrum light.
Legs eleven’s innovative IPL technology and simple pricing approach provides you with the best anti-ageing skin treatment and the best hair removal solution, available at the lowest price.
At Legs Eleven they use the very latest IPL technology combined with highly skilled therapists, to generate effective, long-lasting hair removal and skin rejuvenation.
- Skin Rejuvenation – At Legs Eleven customers report visible improvement of photo-damaged skin after one to three IPL skin rejuvenation treatments. The Spa treats the signs of photo-ageing, age spots, liver spots, freckles, uneven pigmentation, broken capillaries / thread veins, diffuse redness, red markings, enlarged pores, acne, uneven skin texture and fine lines and wrinkles. IPL skin rejuvenation improves the skin’s appearance, enhances its condition and results in a wonderfully new colour, tone, texture and radiance, all in one flash of light.
- Hair removal - On average Legs eleven customers report permanent hair removal of 80 to 95% after a course of IPL treatments. Results do differ from individual to individual depending on the skin type, hair growth, hair colour and thickness, area to be treated, customer gender and age. To achieve optimum results, it is important that a full treatment course is undertaken to ensure all hair follicles are treated in their appropriate phase of hair growth.
At Legs eleven we recognise that all of our customers are unique. At your free consultation, our skilled therapists will assess your individual skin and hair type and design a customised treatment program just for you. ~ The Legs Eleven Promise

This is one of those life lessons that you could spend your entire life learning and admittedly it has taken me until this major milestone in my life, to really grasp the concept!
If you like me are a bit of a people-pleaser you will understand how hard it is to say no to people, especially if you are someone who always put the needs of others before their own. The one fundamental flaw with this approach to life is a difficultly to say no to people, both in your personal and professional capacity.
So what is the big deal you may ask? Well the biggest problem with not being able to say no, is that you often compromise yourself in the hopes that others will like and accept you. Yikes! Surely nobody wants that for themselves!
Well in a word NO.
This is where it becomes a bit trickier because in your personal life, saying no is somewhat simpler, it can however mean having to disappointment those you love, like saying no to the kids when they want to buy something from the store or have a friend over or turning down a dinner invitation because you are exhausted. Most times people do understand where you are coming from and you realize the world will not come to an end if you say no to them.
The more difficult area in which too put your foot down, and say no, is in your professional life. I see it every day when people compromise who they are just to get ahead and please no judgment, we are probably all guilty of this at some point in our life. If you are happy with this and you can sleep at night, be my guest! However for me, this is no longer acceptable, especially when it starts affecting the plan and purpose for your life.
It is great to feel validated and wanted by always pleasing others but not at the cost of your integrity! You have to realize that saying no is ok and if people like you less because of it, well then too bad, those who are meant to be in your life will stick around no matter what!

As you may have noticed I am really loving the plum and wine shades for winter 2013 from fashion right through to nail polish shades. In my opinion these colours are perfect for the season, sexy and sultry. Reminiscent of a glass of ruby, red wine or a bowl of delicious ripe plums!
These lipstick and gloss shades, I am sharing today, match perfectly with this winter palette, they are not too dark, for everyday wear but still uber-sexy.
I am loving this lip pencil by MAC! The shade is Spice and it goes well with most pinks and brown shades, I have even used it with red lipstick before.
Maybelline lipsticks are one of my favourites, actually it is the lipstick I buy more frequently and use most often. I tend to blend shades to get the colour I am looking for and these shades are perfect on their own or blended. Shade no.1 is Toffee Tango, a more subtle brownish plum mauve, with a bit of frost and no.2 is Warm & Cozy, I love this shade because it is neither pink nor brown but rather a perfect mix of both! Both shades are from the Colorsensational Range, which have crisper colour, from pure pigments and a great creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar.
Last but not least is a bit of gloss or in this case Stila Lip Glaze in Cranberry. I like to wear gloss over my lipstick, as I love the moist feeling it gives my lips, as well as the shimmer. Unless I am wearing a matt lipstick you will always find me wearing gloss This is the first Stila lip product that I am using and I must admit it took me while to figure out how to get it to work it! I love the glossy finish this lip gloss gives your lips and the colour is stunning!
I have included a video tutortial featuring the lipsticks featured in this post and a few tips for better application.
