I am officially an almost strictly Medicube girly now! This year I've struggled with stubborn dark spots left from acne and paired with the right serums and after care, these vitamin c toner pads saved me!
Medicube Deep Vita C Pad 150g (70pcs)
At the ripe age of 27, my smile lines sticking after a good laugh has made me realize it's ‘that’ time, where the seriousness of my skincare routine needs a crazy boost :'( Adding a good retinol or retinol based product to my routine has helped slowl...
Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Face Treatment
As pricey as she may be, La Prairie will always be that girl! Not only have I had the privilege to work with them, but having that experience had helped me learn and actually see how the product is worth that buck. Backed by science and holistic heal...
La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift Face
Surprise surprise, look who has remained tride and true. My skin has loved Medicube and this was the product to start that journey! After a cleanse, and your preferred serum (my combo with this remains with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%) sla...
medicube Collagen Overnight Peel Off Mask
The Ordinary, also a staple to my routine. I've decided to try this cleanser as I needed to look after my skins barrier a bit better, and this cleanser is the one! Where my skin can be oily, but stripped like crazy with a foaming cleanser, this gem k...
The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser
This product did not do it for me at first, but after leaving and forgetting about it in my fridge for a month, the texture and benefits did a complete 360! I do not use it all the time, but sometimes to give my skin a break from The Ordinary serum u...
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water
One thing that has been hard to find is a sunscreen with NO WHITE CAST! And I have only recently discovered this! Light weight, soothing and it doesn't clog my skin. Need I say more?
How I love Dermalogica! It's one of the brands that does minimal harm to my skin when trying new products and will always have a spot on my recc's lists! This water cream is newly introduced and one of my new favourite anti-aging and hydration implem...
Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream
Bodycare
As someone that hates hair removal due to ingrown's and such, Intimate Folisan can actually save your life! When I worked at a salon, these would FLY off the shelf as soon as that stock was placed in the system, and its been 5 years of me helping the...
DEPILEVE INTIMATE FOLISAN
Very basic, and also a staple for a reason! I suffered with bacne and suddenly acne on my upper arms and I think the moisturizers I was using may have been the issue. When I switched to using Vaseline, I saw a major difference! For my arms, I only ha...
Vaseline® Blue Seal Original Petroleum Jelly
My budget flew out the door when I tested it and ran back to the store before I left the mall😭The moisture it gave and the feeling of my skin was next level! If you didn't latch on to the Bum Bum cream, you'll probably add this to your list!
Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada™ Vitamin-Infused Lotion
Haircare
I am VERY serious when it comes to protecting my hair, because I haven't known my natural hair until I forced the discovery mid high school. Whenever I straighten my hair, this is a holy grail for every individual section I am straightening. I am a m...
L'Oréal Paris Sleek It Iron Straight Spray
When straightening our hair, myself and many of my textured hair girlfriends have had this as a holy grail since, I KID YOU NOT, the age of 5! Back then, they would apply this right before adding hair rollers, before the blow dry and straighten proce...
Conditioner & Blow Dry Lotion 200ml - Bone Strait
I've added my own picture because I am so in awe of this!😭 For my South African queen's, let me tell you, that picture was the morning after a night out dancing for hours, MID WINTER, trekking Stellies outside in the ice cold! The reason I am so in ...<3
I have been meaning to recommend something tech, and after having this baby for almost 3 years, I need to speak up😭 I purchased mine off Amazon, and I don't even work from home but I've used this laptop every single day since! The storage space is i...
ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED Touchscreen Laptop,14" FHD
Being a naturally short lash having girlie, I could not recommend this enough! So much so I could cry! I need to take my application more seriously as I don't do it daily, but if I did a lash tech will never see me again for any reason!!
RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum
The exact ones I have are Pisa leather with no zippers, but let me tell you that I've had these for 3 years with 1 scuff and no wear!!! I'm sure we all know the power of these babies, but these are my formal shoes, my clubbing shoes and my go to for ...
Dr. Martens Jadon vegan-leather Platform Boots | Black
Fragrance
One thing I am not is a floral scent kinda gal. I like oud and more vanilla/cocoa-esque vibes, but THIS?? Very quickly became my every day scent!
Miss Dior Essence
If you're into bold, Tom Ford has you covered. This is number 1 on my list and has been for the past 5 years now. My skin chemistry with this makes it subtle and brings out the sweetness of the vanilla. If yours does not, I would suggest adding a rea...
Tobacco Vanille - TOM FORD
Maybe 2 years before Dubai, I started buying these for R70 at my local perfumery, and can you imagine the joy I felt when they had this on Noon in a box of 6 for 60 AED!!! I still have about 4 of them left after 2 years. Paired with Oh So Heavenly Sc...
Al Rehab Musk Oud 6ml Attar Perfume Oil
Listen, when I could not find this anywhere in Dubai I had to have it shipped out for more than it cost in store. I tried Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, any big name vanilla scent did not do it for me. Idk if it's just me, but this may be th...
