I have decided to revive my Beauty News posts, and there are so many excellent products I need to share with you. One of them is the new Inoar Vegan Range, which is also Cruelty-Free. I may not be a vegan myself, but I do prefer using products that are not tested on animals.
Beauty Fix Radiant Make-up Finish
Entries to the giveaway are closed!
There is nothing worse than powdery, caked-on makeup but it is sometimes hard to avoid! Especially if you are wearing foundation, concealer and a finishing powder. The thing is, no one wants to look shiny either but we all want that “healthy glow”! When Beauty Fix Radiant Make-up Finish landed on my desk, I was excited to see if delivered what it promised!
Beauty Fix Radiant Make-up Finish
Beauty Fix is a South African skincare brand, which was established in 2014. Developed by partners Ursula Uys and Danielle van Rooyen, who are both very passionate about beauty and branding. After months of research and development in both the product and the brand, Beauty Fix was born.
The Product
Beauty Fix is a Hydrating and Nourishing mist, which blends make-up creating a radiant glow. The key ingredients in Beauty Fix are Rosewater, Aloe Vera Extract and Cucumber Extract. The product has been scientifically formulated to feed the skin and enhance its natural beauty. Beauty fix does not contain: alcohol, synthetic colours, fragrances, parabens, PEGs, TEA, DEA, sulphates, mineral oils and silicones. It is also not tested on animals.
The mist is rich in antioxidants and vitamin A, C & E . As well as nourishing and refreshing the skin, it reduces inflammation and irritation. The product is suitable for all skin types.
Application
Spritz the mist on after applying make-up, to create radiant glow. Use throughout the day to hydrate and refresh the skin. Spritz 20cm away from face.
Verdict
I am really loving the Beauty Fix Mist. One could probably say I am a bit obsessed with it! Last week I used it four times in one day – yes four times! The super fine mist feels wonderful on your skin, much like walking on the beach on a misty morning. It smells gorgeous too – much like a summer garden!
If you are worried about using it on oily skin, I can assure you it does not make your skin more oily! I particularly love using it when the weather is extremely warm, especially after doing your make-up in the heat – it feels fantastically refreshing!

Perfect Nude Lip for Summer
Although I love brights or pastels for lips in summer, one of my favourite looks is a nude lip. This works especially well if you are going for a bit more colour on the eye.
This is my perfect combo for a nude lip for summer:
MAC Boldly Bare Lip Pencil ~ I love MAC lip pencils and Boldly Bare is the perfect nude shade to cover all bases, from your skin-toned nudes to the more pink based shades. RRP R175 available online at MACCosmeticsSA
GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick Cappuccino ~ I have quite a few nude lipsticks but this is by far the closest to a true nude that I have found. It does look slightly more pink in the image above, the truer colour would be the image with all three products. The texture of the lipstick is wonderful and extremely moisturising. RRP R100 available online at Edgars Red Square.
GOSH Volume Lip Shine Nude ~ I have quite a few of the GOSH lip glosses and have really enjoyed using them. I cannot say that I find this product overly Volumising but I love the feeling on my lips! It is wonderfully moisturising and the added bonus is the SPF10. The Nude Volume Shine works perfectly with the Cappuccino Lipstick and gives you that extra kissable pout 🙂 You do not have to add the gloss, if you do not want to but I am a lip gloss girl! RRP R120 available online at Edgars Red Square.
What are your favourite nude lip products?

What’s Hot Beauty Finds
I know I have not done a Favourites post in forever, which is so frustrating because I have so many awesome products, to share with you! Doing in-depth reviews on every beauty product I receive also takes so long{don’t worry I will still do them} and the other thing is, every second blogger is doing a some type of favourites post, so I thought I would try a different approach!
Instead of a lengthy Favourites post once a month, I will be doing my What’s Hot posts, with What’s Hot Beauty Finds & Favourites, Fashion & Foodie Finds and other awesomely interesting things I need to share with you! These posts will not be monthly but rather if and when I have some fabulousness, you need to know about.
So without further ado a few of my Beauty Finds..
- L’Oreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute Makeup ~ I have had this foundation for a while but only recently started using it and I have been very pleasantly surprised! It contains Anti-aging ingredients, as well as a SPF 17 and has Medium Coverage. The Visible Lift Serum Absolute features an age reversing serum of 5 ingredients, all packed into one makeup. I love the lightweight formula, which feels amazing on the skin and does not settle into lines and wrinkles. What makes it Hot? Besides because I say so 😉 Well the wonderful silky smooth formulation for one and the fact that it contains serums to fight signs of aging, is certainly a big plus for me! RRP R229.95
- Blistex Nuture & Nourish Lip Protectant ~ I received a few Blistex goodies to try a little while ago and have completely fallen in love with this lip balm. It is super hydrating, as well as smelling good enough to eat! Nuture & Nourish contains olive & grapeseed oils, goji extract, Vitamin E and essential minerals. What makes it Hot? Well the fact that it actually does what it says “Nuture & Nourish” and it contain a SPF15, a definite must for someone like me, who exercises outdoors! RRP R55.95
- L’Extraordinaire by Color Riche® ~ Created by L’Oreal to be more than a lipstick, L’Extraordinaire Lip Colours contain oils, to help create perfect lustrous lips, with magnified colour. When applied L’Extraordinaire feels like a gloss but the combination of oils and rich pigment, gives it the staying power of a lipstick. It contains a combination of four precious oils: Rosa Muscat, Lotus, Argan and Camelia. L’Extraordinaire by Color Riche® is available in 7 different shades. What makes it Hot? I love the flexible spatula applicator, which makes it super easy to apply. The texture and feel on your lips is amazing and the colour super pigmented, I cannot wait to try a few more shades! RRP 169.95
- Infallible Gel Nail Lacquers ~ When I first received these, before reading the press release, I actually thought they were lip colours! They are however L’Oreal’s new 2 Step, Infallible Gel Nail Lacquers. Step 1 is your latex and silicone nail colour and Step 2 is the magnifying top coat. A rather genesis idea! The polish is said to last 12 Days but I would probably say realistically a week would until the tips of my nails began to peek through. The polish did not chip at all which I think is due to the gel finish, my only complaint is that the darker shade, Forever Burgundy, did stain my nails a bit, even with a base coat. Infallible Gel Nail Lacquers are available in 8 different shades. What makes it Hot? Definitely the convenience of having a nail colour and a top coat to enhance the colour, all in one product! The “gel-finish” looks great, much like a Gelish or Shellac Mani, without the difficult process of removing it.RRP R99.95

{Review} Regen Ceutic by Dermaceutic
As you may already know I have been waging a war on pigmentation over the past few years! It is a battle which I feel I have been less than successful at winning but along this journey, I have discovered a handful of amazing skin care products! One of these products which I recently started using is Regen Ceutic by Dermaceutic.
Dermaceutic is a range of cosmeceuticals created by Dermatologists and surgeons specialising in facial rejuvenation. The Dermaceutic range offers technologically advanced skin care products for their patients, to accompany general medical and cosmetic procedures. The range helps to prepare skin, optimize and maintain the results of all medical and cosmetic procedures.
Apart from my issues with pigmentation, I have extremely sensitive skin, so I cannot just slap on any old cream. Although it is important to me to try and reverse the pigmentation, I am also determined to maintain good skin tone and protect my skin against the elements. I am always hesitant when trying new skin care and will always do a bit of research on the product before I start using it.
Regen Ceutic, which I have been using is part of the Dermaceutic Homecare Range. It is a Skin Recovery Cream, which accelerates epidermal restoration post aesthetic treatments: nourishes and firms the skin. Regen Ceutic contains, 3% Peptides Complex ~ a synergy of 2 of the most efficient peptides, which stimulates collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin production to induce an anti-wrinkle effect from within, 3% Hyaluronic Acid ~ Moisturizes skin and improves firmness, Stabilized vitamin C & E ~ a combination of vitamins which combats and limits the signs of photo-aging and has an anti-inflammatory action, as well as Shea butter ~ which hydrates and nourishes the skin. It is recommended for sensitive, dehydrated and aging skin.
The Dermaceutic homecare range focuses on the three essential areas of skin rejuvenation: stimulation, protection and repair. It was created to address most skin types’ needs- from pigmentation, to fine lines, to acne. The products are packaged in airless bottles to ensure optimum hygiene, ease of use and a minimal concentration of preservatives.
I have found Regen Ceutic amazing! The formulation although light-weight, once applied, instantly hydrates my skin, while calming any redness or sensitivity. This is definitely a product I will continue using as a part of my everyday skin care routine! I also think as far as more high-end skin care products go, the RRP of R 550.00 for R30ml, it is quite affordable.
For details on these and other products please visit the Dermaceutic SA Website.
