World Earth Day...


Happy belated Earth Day little ones!

Searching for a way that I could take part I came across an article on Primped that looked right up my alley!
"Kiehl’s is encouraging all you Primpers to recycle your empty skincare bottles. All you need to do is take any empty bottle from any beauty brand into a Kiehl’s store or counter, and you’ll receive a deluxe sample of your choice valued up to $15.00. The more times you recycle, the more samples you receive! Hooray!"

What a great idea from a gorgeous brand! Of course I had to do my little bit for World Earth Day so off I went rounding up my empties...


and look what sweet treats I was rewarded with!




  • Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter 15ml
  • Kiehl’s Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion 40ml
  • Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner 40ml
*reviews coming soon!

What did you do for Earth Day?

Garnsis Boutique online store launch...



Last Thursday night accompanied by the gorgeous Christine from Unleash Me, I attended the Garnsis Boutique launch of their online store at Zuri nighclub with the promise of a fashion parade, cocktails, indulgent gift bags and hot fashion give-aways (valued at over $2,000) it did not disappoint…

Upon arrival we were invited into the VIP lounge area with a cold glass of champagne & gift bags! Relaxing on the lounges and indulging in delicious Zuri platters we excitedly browsed through the racks of clothing noting some gorgeous pieces..

Perched in prime position for the parade the models were captivating and stunning strutting their stuff down the runway showing off a fabulous wearable must have collection. Hair and makeup was relaxed and feminine (which I just loved!) - one model (far right) sported a particularly gorgeous shade of coral lipstick (must find out brand/colour) which was show stopping!

I was one of the lucky winners of the night winning a bag of Mink Pink clothing! Want to see what I won?

Storage!


Not so long ago I began to find my little makeup bag beginning to bust at the seams as my collection has grown & grown!… so off I went in the search of the perfect storage solution. Now I do have a penchant for pretty makeup bags BUT after watching an episode of the Kardashian’s where they pictured some gorgeous clear makeup storage towers with drawers I have to say I fell in love! But… after some googling I found the price tag just wasn’t appealing not to mention a little scary! L
 
So here is what I settled on



Here is my great (not so little) organiser from IKEA which has a compartment for all my essentials and most importantly cheap as chips (I’m sure I paid under $20 for it)! Also, at my towering height all 5 feet of me what I love most about this storage box is that I keep it on top of the washing machine in the bathroom so that I can see everything all at once so nothing gets lost or overlooked.



But I would still love one of these! (wouldn’t we all?!)

How do you store your makeup?
