With the month of August coming to an end, a few
beautiful South African babes are sharing what their most loved items were for
the month of August. Check them out down below and be sure to follow them.
Chanel Heeralall
Chanel is
a 20 year old, third year medical science student with a love for fashion. Here
are her August favourites.
Throughout August I have been
obsessing over the following fabulous items...the first item I've been loving
is my new fossil watch which my dad purchased whilst in Germany. This classic
yet modern timepiece adds a dash of sophistication to any outfit, night or day.
The second item that caught my eye are rings. This timeless piece of jewellery
has been so easy to use everyday and even on those days when I want to make a
statement

| Watch: Fossil Single rings: Aldo Statement ring: Topshop Balm stain: Wet n Wild ( Available at Clicks) Eyeshadows: Yardley Wallet: Jo Borkett |
The next item is my new Wet n Wild
megaslicks balm stain in the shade caffiene fix. I love this balm stain as it
looks great on any skin tone and its moisturising too! The fourth item that I
now cannot live without is the yardley stayfast velvet quad eyeshadow in shade
desert. This palette contains every nude eyeshadow a girl will ever need and it
has an amazing texture. Lastly I'm so obsessed with my new Jo Borkett wallet.
Its bright, vibrant and a perfect statement piece.
Given the
cold winter weather coupled with my tiring business schedule AND being a
mum , taking care of my skin is something that I cannot ignore, and given
my positive experiences with the La
Mer skin care range to date, I opted to try out the La Mer Renewal Oil (even though I
was a skeptic as I’m not one for anything oily!) I was pleased to discover that
the La Mer Renewal Oil is
actually less of an OIL oil (it looks a lot oilier than what it actually is),
and more of a serum-0il-elixir, which means that this is a much more
comfortable product to use, if you generally shy away from oils.
The oil which I found to be too light to be used by its own, was coupled with my day and night moisturizer, and the results were my skin feeling noticeably calmer, more even-toned, and more hydrated (which was a huge plus in winter). The product when mixed with your day moisturizer creates a perfect base before make up application, and the oil mixed with your night moisturizer leaves your skin feeling refreshed and supple before bedtime.
Skin care for me is an ABSOLUTE
MUST and I’m very fussy about the products that I introduce my skin to … which
results in me reading up on its ingredients and investigating other
peoples experiences with the product. I can therefore honestly recommend this
product as a definite ‘tried and tested’ if you are looking to achieve a more
hydrated, supple and nourished skin.
PROS: lightweight texture absorbs quickly into the
skin, Can be blended with your moisturizer for better effectiveness. Boosts
hydration levels and keeps skin supple through the day.
CONS: Price
WHO WILL LIKE THIS: Anyone who prefers a lightweight textured facial
oil
WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT: Stuttafords Sandton City (La Mer beauty counter)

STRETCH MARKS Ladies do you struggle with stretch marks? Look no further
than "Dermastine" it works wonders, like most ladies I have them too caused by the gym, squating etc. From"getting bigger " or loosing weight!
It’s a
cream, smells nice and it’s NOT sticky. Why it’s better than "tissue
oil" is that it has more vitamins E in it, which will reduce the stretch marks
more! Keep in mind, it will lighten them, not take it away!
After a
warm bath or shower I will apply just a bit off cream in my hand, and rub on to
my bums, that’s my problem area! But it will also work for the thigh, stomach and breast areas. Dermastine is available at Dischem.
I love
it.
My ultimate favorite scrub right now . I literally can't live
without it, and through those winter months I definitely needed my body to be
moisturized and hydrated not only does this amazing scrub exfoliate the skin
but lightens stretch marks as well in a matter of 3-4 weeks my skin was lighter
in complexion and absolutely soft and glowing for those that are interested in
trying it out head over to body blendz and check out their variety of scrubs
honestly everybody girl or guy should have a bag.

Recently
I was faced with the world's hardest decision, what new sneakers to buy?! If
you have been to a mall recently you know there are thousands of sneakers to
choose from, but nothing quite like the Reebok classics.They have been around
since 1982 and I can truly understand why they have stayed in style for all
these years, they are a godsend. Everyone needs a pair of classic whites to go
with every outfit. If you're going for the street style look, gangster chic or
even the "I just woke up like this" look , these shoes will help you
slay the day, just like they do for me. I purchased my pair from the Reebok
factory shop in Woodmead.

Personally I have found that Dove soap has been the most gentle and affordable, skin improving everyday soap that leaves an incredible scent. I have used this soap for months and have seen amazing results. Instead of using a sponge I have recently bought a volcano rock for less than R20,00 that gently exfoliates the skin from Dischem.
