The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy as the year is finally drawing to an end... Work has been crazy and I'm so looking forward to a little summer holiday at home in the beautiful Mother City.
Will hopefully be sharing some exciting summer pics over the next little while - yay!
As we have been preparing for Christmas and getting a few gifts here and there - me, the shopaholic could obviously not resist a few items for myself... * blush *
I thought why not share a few of these as they make make good gift ideas or stocking fillers - or maybe just a spoil for yourself... You deserve it! I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like its has been a long (and oddly short) crazy year and looking forward to a new start with 2013.
#1 Levis Jeans
I have found a new favourite store - Levis at Access Park... They have jeans for R300 (less than HALF what they are in the store!) As I have a bit more of a butt than most, it's usually quite hard for me to find jeans that aren't half way down my butt when I sit down - I hate that! Levis have the Curve range which I'm now addicted to. I found my perfect jeans Yippee!!
#2 Hot Pink Nail Varnish
I found this new brand at DisChem at Canal Walk. I hate nail polish that chips almost immediately - especially after you have to apply like 4 coats to get a solid streak free colour. I've spent the R100 price range for nail polish, but seeing that my nails are quite thin and it never lasts more than 2 days I don't bother any more. This one cost around R40 and only needs 2 coats for a gorgeous full colour. You cold even get away with only 1 if you're in a rush. Bonus!
#3 On the Go!
This fast drying top coat from essie is worth the R180! (Available from DisChem, selected Clicks stores and Wellness Warehouse to name a few) You can apply to to any nail polish - cheap or expensive and it will give you the most amazing glossy manicured finish... without fingerprints or hear streaks! See above photo for proof :)
#4 Dead Sea Body Scrub
I'm sure you all now those gorgeous Israeli sales seducers (they take sales a whole other level!) in all the malls... Yes? Well, I'm not sure about you, but after months of staring from far and then keeping my head down as I get closer and politely saying "no thanks"... They got me! Not my finest moment but never the less... I ended up with a body scrub and body butter which cost just a little less than a fortune... Needless to say the product is amazing and sells soooo good! Mine is almost done and today when I popped into DisChem after work I found this product - also from the Dead Sea - same concept... For... wait for it... R80! Yip... They have a few fragrances, but I chose the Vanilla - my favourite! So as I sit here typing this my skin feels amazing and I smell like Vanilla - bliss... It's perfect for after days at the beach when your skin just needs a little extra 'something'...
So that's it from me for now... Happy shopping and enjoy getting ready for Christmas and of course the summer weather that has finally arrived!
Love,
