Hi my Slaying Gals xoxo

Hope you all are having a lovely week so far? It has been a roller coaster of events these two weeks. I have signed with a new company and have been in the hospital for four days but, Yah girl is back. Ready to share some of my current favorite beauty products form skincare, makeup and some hair goodies. Some of these products are new ones I discovered, and some is my ride or die products that I've been using for a while.

So let's start of with some skincare products. You know us girls, like me, just loving creating a master peace on our faces. So I needed something to take of this "second face" of mine, my full coverage girls will know.

When Garnier came out with this product, my mind was blown!! I have tried some of the other ones before, but this one has been my favorite so far. I have very sensitive skin and this product doesn't irritate my eczema at all. There is no parabens and no perfume. It's very affordable, you can find it at any Dishem and Clicks stores and it retails only for R79,95.

The Africa Organics Mongongo Shampoo is so natural and fresh. I've never used a organic, or vegan shampoo before but, I've really been enjoying this shampoo. It is for colour treated hair and it just has such a fresh feeling when your hair is washed. It doesn't feel tacky or dry, just clean. It retails for R74,95.

The main ingredient is the Mongongo tree that grows in the severe droughts of the Kalahari Desert. The oil is pressed from the tress because it contains eleostearic acid that polymerises rapidly under UV light to form a protective film over each hair.

The Kerastase Masque is probably the best hair masque I have EVER used. I bought this at my local salon when I decided to add blonde to my hair. My hair is very frizzy and the blonde color just damaged my hair, so it was just not looking good. It's a very concentrated treatment for dry thick hair. So soft and shiny. It is a little bit expensive, but totally worth it as it does last you such a long time. I bought mine at my hairdresser for R450.

This product is such a life safer. You know the days where you just like " aint nobody got time for washing hair" day. I cheat my dirty hair days with this dry shampoo. It smells amazing, like a tropical breeze in a bottle. After 2 days of not washing my hair I will just spray some on, and it give instant volume and lift. It doesn't leave that white residue on your hair This is so affordable, I bought mine at Dischem for R99, 95.

Gurlll, we need to contain the wilderness down there (haha). I've decided to use a hair removal cream as, shaving just gave me so much ingrown hair. Specially with these summer days, you need to keep it in order. It's very gentle and smoothing on the skin. Just be very careful not to leave it on for to long. because it's not pretty. This tube has lasted me for a while now and it's only R42, 95. Let's keep it smooth and clean girls.

I have raved about this product in my Body Shop Haul and it hasn't disappoint. I love using this serum after I've moisturized my skin because it just refreshes my sin leaving it glowy, awake and silky smooth. The best thing is, that it serves like a primer for my foundation, my foundation just glides on. I bought mine at The Body Shop for only R270. I just adore they products and I use it for my whole skincare routine.

I've been looking for a bronzer for a while. This is not particularly a bronzer, but it does the job. It's such a creamy powder and very easy to blend. It's very pigmented and build able. What I like is that it has the mattifying effect, I'm not a fan of the shimmery bronzer. Essence products are such good quality for the price. I use the color "True Caramel 50" and it only retails for R59, 95.

So we all want to look like we had 12 hours of beauty sleep everyday, but the reality is that we have some blue Chanel bags under the eyes. This cream camouflage hides the appearance of dark circles. All red concealers or creams covers dark areas on the face and the shade I use is 025 Rosy Sand. This cream blends perfectly with my foundation and, believe me it doesn't move and is waterproof when you set it in place with powder. It just brighten up my eyes and so affordable, it retails for R56 at any drugstores.

So there you have it guys, I had such fun writing my current favorite products post. I really hope that I gave you guys some tips and advice on which products to use. My next post will be all about my top Makeup YouTuber's. Stay tuned so that we can slay it together.

Enjoy your day guys
