Hello, June! Yes…I’m sounding like a broken record, but wow, May flew by rather quickly! June is usually one of my favourite months as the weather starts to get a bit chillier. That means I can bust out the ol’ winter sheets, heaters, electric blanket and my favourite soup mugs.

These beauties will be available at Clicks stores nationwide.
Ladies, I had the pleasure of swatching these gel / cream eyeshadows a few weeks ago at the CDF press launch. The bronze shade is incredible (even more beautiful than my beloved Maybelline Bad To The Bronze 24H Color Tattoo) – trust me when I say: “You need it in your life ASAP!” It might get a bit ugly, though, if we happen to be at the same Clicks, at the same time & there’s only one of these pots left.
Bioderma Atoderm Intensive ♥ R 209,95 – A 2-in-1 soothing and dermo-strengthening treatment to restore healthy, comfortable skin. Suitable for very dry and irritated, itchy skin. Soothes itching and irritation, rebuilds a biologically healthy skin barrier, restores skin comfort and postpones the occurrence of new flare-ups.

The kit also includes a how-to insert with simple instructions for achieving the best look for your face shape. Smashbox products are available at selected Woolworths, Red Square and Foschini stores.
I have been waiting for this trio to arrive in South Africa for a good couple of months now. I even mentioned the kit in my ‘Birthday Wish List’ blog post. Do yourself a favour, take a look at this video where Tati (GlamLifeGuru) showcases these 3 pencils – I fell head over heels in love with the Contour Stick Trio after watching the tutorial.

The formula is richly-pigmented and lasts for hours. Taupe is one of NYX Cosmetics’ top selling and award winning colours, the perfect contouring shade to enhance your features. Take a look at my ‘How To Contour & Highlight For Beginners’ blog post here.
NYX Butter Lipstick ♥ R 138,95 each – Pamper your lips with a hydrating kiss of smooth Butter Lipstick in 9 luxurious shades. The delicate texture of satin fused with the high color saturation creates an even finish on lips that’s long-wearing and beautiful. Available in 9 shades at selected Clicks stores.
NYX Butter Gloss ♥ R 124,95 each – Buttery soft and silky smooth, our scrumptious new Butter Lip Gloss tastes as sweet as a sugar cookie—and makes your lips look downright luscious. Swipe it on alone or over your favorite lipstick for creamy sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky. Available in 13 shades at selected Clicks stores. I couldn’t find any decent stock images of the NYX Butter Gloss lipglosses online, so I took a photo of my little collection.
If I’m 100% honest, I’m not crazy about the fact that NYX products are double the price here in South Africa. These Butter Glosses retail for $5 in the US (R 60,00) and that’s where I bought my rather extensive collection of these glosses. You can expect a full review with swatches of all the shades I own soon, so that you can decide which shades you want to spend your money on.
NIP + FAB Bee Sting Deluxe Body Souffle ♥ Free Gift - A super-rich intensively moisturising body cream that contains bee venom. When gently massaged into the body in circular movements, the skin will look visibly more plump, become more firm and will help to create an overall more youthful looking skin. With the purchase of any of the other NIP + FAB Bee Sting products at Clicks stores, you will receive the NIP+FAB Bee Sting Deluxe Body Souffle free of charge. This is perfect for the cold Winter months ahead, as it will nourish dry, thirsty, needy skin.

With Bobbi Brown products now available in the Red Square online store, finding your favourite product is quicker and easier than ever before. You can shop the new collections before they sell out in stores, browse new lipstick shades, and replenish your makeup must-haves from the comfort of your own home.
