It's almost impossible to go shopping & not pick up a few beauty items... What started off as a 'quick pop into the grocery store' turned into a 'take a detour to the nearest beauty store & grab something, anything - JUST BUY IT!'
Problem?
Well, luckily I was in a budgeting mood and stayed away from pricier brands Yes, you are welcome my dear Bank Balance.
Here's my loot:
From Left to Right:
♥ Essence Gel Eyeliner Brush
♥ Essense Gel Eyeliner in 'London Baby'
♥ Rimmel The Kate Collection Lipstick in '02'
♥ Catrice Lash Plus Intensive Lash Growth Serum
Reviews and swatches coming up!!

It all began with a cleanser - I needed a replacement cleanser, nothing more. And then I ended up with this:
Some Avon stuff I had ordered and then forgotten about had arrived too. As if I didn't have enough new skin stuff already... Sigh. I really must learn to control myself. So here's what I got:
You'd think one body lotion is enough? Nope, not for me...
♥ Oh So Heavenly Beauty Sleep Collection Dream Cream - This thing smells DIVINE! Really, I sleep better when I use it.
♥ Vaseline Healthy Even Tone Body Lotion - Because it has an SPF!
♥ Johnson's African Nurture Body Lotion - It was cheap, smells nice and is a new range that uses African flora so, why not?
My Avon Girl gave me my latest Avon package:
♥ Avon Naturals Milk & Honey Face Cream - which I'll give to my Grandma {^_^}
♥ Avon Naturals Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - which I'm hoping is a dupe of the TBS Japanese Cherry Blossom shower gel
♥ Avon Simply Pretty Cherry Lip Balm - Er.. I am obsessed with lip balms
♥ Avon Advanced techniques Styling comb - which has inexplicable accumulated dust. I got this to comb through wet hair and when conditioning
♥ Oh So Heavenly Beauty Sleep Collection Wish Upon a Star Pillow Mist - Love to spritz this on my pillow and doze...
♥ Garnier Mineral Even deodorant - it smells nice and works!
♥ Oh So Heavenly Beauty Sleep Collection Cool Comfort Lavender Talc - Best used after night bath-time..
♥ Good Things Stay Clear Purifying Cleanser
♥ Neutrogena Deep Clean Daily Scrub
♥ Essence Colour & Go in Passion for Fashion
♥ Essence 2 in 1 Kajal Pencil in Flirty & Hip
♥ Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer in Golden Beige
I will do reviews on the worth while purchases - especially the cleansers!!

Ah, the BB cream... It's the stuff legends are made of!
If you haven't heard of it, you must either be living under a rock or in the middle of the Sahara desert coz the BB cream craze has already hit Europe and USA. As for Asia? The sheer amount of BB cream brands available in Asia is enough to make you salivate... Ahem.
It's slowly beginning to creep into the SA beauty scene, but quite frankly, I can't wait that long for original Korean BB Cream brands.
So, I took the plunge, went online & bought mini, trial sizes of two of the most well known BB creams out there - Skin79 Hot Pink Label Super Beblesh Balm & Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23. I was sooo happy when my package arrived from South Korea!! Here's a sneak peek:
I even held them & gazed happily at my new BB creams... and made a special place for them in my vanity case. I was that excited.
Coming up...
I'll be reviewing these products as well as giving you the scoop on what BB creams are all about... Don't miss out!
