Mascara added to Almay Pure Blends range

About six months ago I mentioned the Almay Pure Blends range. New to this range is the Volumizing Mascara. It is available in Black, Black Brown, and Brown. I’m not sure of the price, but the mascara (along with the rest of the Pure Blends range) can be purchased at Farmers stores.

Favourite product of winter

I’m a bit late in posting this (winter ended nearly a month ago), but the best beauty product I tried in winter is Trilogy Botanical Moisture Masque for dry hair. It’s wonderfully moisturising, and it has a gorgeous coconut scent. It contains nourishing ingredients such as marshmallow extract, coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil, and it costs $29.95 for 95ml.

On holiday

I have been a bit slack about updating my blog recently, sorry. I'm on holiday in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia at the moment, and I'll try to get back into posting more regularly when I return.
