New In From Elizabeth Arden

April 23, 2015 in Beauty, Launches, Makeup Reviews, Reviews

EA-Launch

A couple of weeks ago I attended a fun and informative intimate Elizabeth Arden launch. It was hosted at the beautiful Beau Constantia wine farm (they have superb wine and views by the way). We were given a very interesting makeup demonstration/tutorial using the new Flawless Finish Perfectly Satin Foundation. The stunning Gina Myers, Elizabeth Arden Senior Makeup Artist, gave us tips on contouring. Which I was previously hopeless at but now I know the number one tip is to always blend light into dark and to work fast. The charming Lucoh Mhlongo, a new addition to the Elizabeth Arden team and also one of their Senior Makeup Artists helped guide us through choosing makeup for your facial features.

Flawless Finish Perfectly Satin Makeup with SPF15 (R365) is a lovely matte foundation. It applies with ease and looks amazing on. I feel like it is “airbrush in a bottle”. It offers medium coverage and lasts for up to 24 hrs (not that anyone should keep their makeup on for that long) but yes, it truly is long-lasting. This is a fabulous foundation for those with oily skin types. The formula is infused with time-release, shine-control technology and an environmentally adaptable micro-algae extract. “The intuitive foundation recognizes skin’s oil levels to control excess sebum without clogging pores. In fact, based on a self-assessment in a clinical study, 90% of women reported that their skin did not feel greasy after 24 hours”. The two shades above are 06 Beige and 04 Sun Beige adn there are 8 skin-adapting shades in the range currently. Since I am very fair I found Sun Beige to be most suited to my skin tone.

Beautiful Colour Moisturizing Lipsticks in matte shades (R220.00) are amazing! Seriously I am so happy with these and as you can see in the above pic, these two shades have already been used a lot! The two shades I received are Barely There 44 (Which I wore in my latest outfit post) and Pink Pucker 46. They smell absolutely yummy and last for ages. I am so happy to have discovered them and these two shades have become a part of my everyday makeup routine.

Beautiful Colour Natural Eye Brow Pencils come in three shades: Natural Black, Brownette and Natural Beige and they retail for R175.00.

Eyebrows are still very much in-fashion and a well-groomed defined eyebrow can elevate ones entire look. Elizabeth Arden have released three shades to suit everyone. It was quite difficult to get an accurate shot of the different shades but black is a lovely soft black, Brownette is my favourite and provides a natural light brown brow. The unique one in the bunch is the Natural Beige which is perfect for blondes and those with grey hair too. It is very light but still defines the brow nicely.

WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily products then the results would be good. What I did not expect was arguably the best sushi I have ever had! @johndoryssa you have outdone yourself with this vegan “prawn style” sushi platter. I got it as a takeaway as you can see but I’ll certainly be back very soon for another platter. Now I’m really keen to try the “prawn style” tacos too.

*And yes the Mayo etc is all 100% vegan and so is the “roe”. All plant-based deliciousness💕💕💕

I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I mentioned in my previous post, it was my mother’s 70th. The birthday turned into an entire week of celebrations. As I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to see her again, with the ever-changing lockdown levels. 

It’s been fun with surprises arriving almost everyday for her. Aside from this gorgeous #Vegan birthday cake from @emmasvegancakes, nothing else was actually a part of the original birthday plans! We were meant to be all on a safari and my sister (from the UK) was meant to be here. 

However, we made it as memorable as we could!! Also, the main thing that makes a birthday, a birthday, is birthday cake right??! 

Who still thinks that vegan food is just “vegetables” or has to be boring. Going plant-based doesn’t mean missing out on any treats. 

This gorgeous & delicious vanilla cake was amazing. It actually reminded us of my granny’s famous family cake. She passed away at 94 and if I recall correctly she was still regularly whipping up those cakes until 90! Although those definitely weren’t vegan. 

Be sure to check out @emmasvegancakes professional 100% vegan cake and cupcakes. #supportsmallbusinesses

On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredib On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredible Mother’s 70th birthday. The woman who brought me into this world, taught me so much. She is also my best friend. Someone I can talk to about everything and anything, our family truly has no filters! 

This year it was even more special just by being able to celebrate with her. Which is why simply spending time with her turned her birthday into a week long celebration! It started on Friday! Mostly due to the fact that being able to spend time this together and physically see her was the biggest blessing. With everything going on in the world right now, to be able to both be healthy and together is all we could of asked for. 

To even think of what my sister, who couldn’t fly down from the UK, rest of the family and I had planned for her. Even for all of us from December until now. It all seems so surreal... The world has truly changed. I wish my sister could of been here with us, but she was in a sense as with such a massive birthday bouquet I wouldn’t of been surprised if she was hidden in there!

This summer heat is definitely making the days fee This summer heat is definitely making the days feel far longer. Also, since doing both #Veganuary2021 and the @RushTush Vegan Glow Cleanse, prepping food in advance has become a part of my routine. No more rushing to make quickly make something or quickly ordering a takeaway. This means healthier and more filling meals. So usually at this time it’s simply snack time. Fresh pineapple is a favourite. I sometimes even ice mine!

Remember you can still try the @rushtushlife #Rushtushfitapp with their awesome “first 2 weeks free” offer. It is then R250 p.m for a year.

I have so many personal posts I want to write but am also afraid of sharing. Especially at a time when it seems like everything brings out the “ugly” in people. Anyone else feeling the same?

Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! 

Just kidding, they usually the ones begging for love. @candi_onewoofatatime sleeps on my feet as in on. To trap me or on my actual head. @oneroccoatatime also tries to do the “on mummy’s head” move even though he weighs 32kg. Or he sleeps alongside us like a real big boy that snores. They the most amazing little souls and have helped me through so many tough mental health times. 

Yes, we allow our dogs on the bed. They are actually cleaner than most humans 💕

Should have of course posted these last night but Should have of course posted these last night but hey the evening was SO crazy!! Haha actually it was a total bust. Arguing over midnight music, weird tasting cocktails and hangry as my pizzas were taking too long. But we were together and alive so I guess that’s a plus. Tried to create a “holiday” vibe with whatever I could find around the house.
