LASH LOVE
Who doesn’t want long and lush lashes? I sure do. Beauty giant L’Oreal is known for their amazing mascara formulas and this little baby has joined the family. The 2-in-1 lash-boosting primer goes on just before your mascara, to coat lash strands with a nourishing, smooth layer of jojoba oil and vitamins. This will not only enrich your lashes but leave them looking fuller and longer. Love it!

POWER SCENT
Avon and actress Eva Mendes have created a special dual-sided scent.
“It’s really an honour to collaborate with a brand that has respected women for so many years. I love experimenting with different looks based on my mood, and trying different combinations of Sensual and Radiant to reflect my different moods,” Eva says. Avon Eve Duet has two complimentary scents that you layer to create unique scent combinations. You can get a fruity, floral fragrance or a sexy floral scent so you smell different every day!

Don’t we all just love an overnight product – something you can just slap on and it does all the work while you sleep? (I wish this applied to working out too! LOL). Kiehl’s have outdone themselves yet again with the Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask, R995, which is great for all skin types. The ginger and hibiscus smoothen fine lines and tighten skin to reveal skin that looks and feels more youthful when you wake up.
ONE-STOP SHOP
It’s hard to find one place where you can have your nail, lashes, brows and make-up done. Thembi Seete, Mbali Nkosi and Sharon Khuzwayo found the solution and created a beauty haven – Azuri Cosmetics – nestled in Morningside in Joburg. I visited their beautifully decorated space to have a mani, brow thread and tint, and individual lashes installed and didn’t want to leave. The staff is amazing. For appointments, call 065 829 5787.
