Received a pack of goodies from @bio_sculpture_off Received a pack of goodies from @bio_sculpture_official last year, just in time for the Summer Holidays. 

I tried out the Summer Heel Home Care Pack before we went away, as I didn't have time to go for a pedicure. It is the perfect set for an at-home pedi and has everything you need.

I'm looking forward to trying the other products, especially the pretty nail polish colours.

Here's hoping 2023 is a better year. 2022 has be Here's hoping 2023 is a better year. 

2022 has been tough, probably the hardest year of my life. It started off well, but on the 29th of May, my life changed. A big part of me, a part of my life, a part of my heart left this world and left me in pieces. I don't think I'll ever be the same, I don't think I'll ever feel whole again. But I am grateful for the life that I have, and all those around me, especially my husband, my family and Sugs.
As usual the @skinscosmetics.sa @skinscosmeticsoff As usual the @skinscosmetics.sa @skinscosmeticsofficial Holiday Box is a winner! A curated selection of 14 luxury products, some full sized and others generous travel sizes.

This would the perfect last minute gift for someone or for yourself!

I'm not usually a fan of eye creams, I've always f I'm not usually a fan of eye creams, I've always felt like a good serum, and moisturiser could do the job just as well. 

I adore the @clarinssouthafrica Double Serum. It makes my skin look plumper and more radiant, so I was keen to see what a Double Serum specifically developed for the eye area could do. 

The Double Serum Eye has been specifically developed to combat wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles, as well as protect and strengthen the delicate eye contour. My dark circles and puffiness have a life of their own recently, blame it on the lack of sleep, stress, grief, all of the above. After using this, the area around my eyes looked hydrated and plumped, my concealer creased less, and the overall radiance improved. I like that this can be used on the eyelids too, I found the scent very calming as I do with most @clarinsofficial products.

What's on your #blackfriday wishlist? @sundayrile What's on your #blackfriday wishlist?

@sundayriley is a skincare brand I really enjoy. 

UFO is amazing for when my skin feels clogged. I've also been enjoying the CEO Cream and Face Oil, both are hydrating and brightening. The Light Hearted SPF feels lovely on the skin, I just wish it had a higher SPF. I haven't used the 5 Stars Eye Serum enough yet, but it hydrates and smoothes the eye area.

I usually stock up on Sunday Riley and other international brands from @miloandmo and @shopbloominghayaa
