Losing the American Pounds – the first 10kgs

I went to live in America for six months on an work exchange programme. Other than the tons of clothes I brought home, I also brought home 10kgs of additional weight. I did what no one should never do, I lived on takeaways (I was too busy to cook) and did not exercise (there was no time to exercise, only time to shop). This is how I looked like when I came back home

 

 

 

 

Bobbi Brown Make Up School

In May 2012, I was given the opportunity by Bobbi Brown South Africa to host a makeup workshop with a few of my friends at their V&A Waterfront store.  I am pretty simplistic with my makeup and I love anything luxurious, so it was not hard to fall in love with Bobbi Brown make up range.  I love Bobbi Brown philosophy on makeup which is about the natural revolution and celebrating your beauty .

She believes with the right makeup techniques, you can use your makeup to look pretty powerful. I was MAC girl until I was introduced to Bobbi Brown. I felt I was cheating on my MAC until I found out that both companies are part of the Estee Lauder Group of Companies. So my MAC and Bobbi Brown co-exist happily in my makeup bag.

These are my favourite Bobbi Brown and Mac Products:

1. MAC Fix Spay – This spray makes my makeup look flawless the whole day. I spray it on after I am done with my face but before I put on mascara

2. The Bobbi Brown Brow Kit and Gel – I was never focused on my brows until I went to Bobbi Brown Brown makeup school. Gerard (BB Regional Educational Executive) tried the powder and gel and I was instantly amazed. There is something about a strong brow that completes a perfect makeup look. The kit sells out often and I was on a waiting list for two weeks before I could get mine. It has been the best addition to my makeup bag

3. The Bobbi Brown Ultra Nude Eye Palette – Bobbi  Brown makeup is fuss free, so you can use few makeup tricks to turn your day makeup to night. I love the nude eye palette is it caters both to day and evening (evening shades had a little shimmer) shades and the palette is suitable for all skin tones

Are there any Bobbi Brown fans like me? Let me know what you love about the brand and which are your favourite products (MAC or Bobbi Brown)?
