Beauty Snoop Pink Peonies Blog

I enjoy preparing for all my blog posts, but there are certain blog posts I really, REALLY enjoy writing (and taking photos for) – ‘Beauty Snoop’ is one of them.  ‘Beauty Snoop’ posts are short review / first impression blog posts, I usually feature 5 or 6 different products (skin care, hair care, nail care, makeup, fragrance or even makeup application tools) and give you my initial 2 cents worth on each item.  You can take a look at my previous ‘Beauty Snoop’ blog posts here, and in case you are wondering what the asterisks (**) next to certain product names mean, I cover all that in this blog post.

Guys – my love from Oskia has reached a whole new level. After discovering their cleansing gel at Christmas I have already picked up my second bottle, not just that, instead of being able to stick to the single purchase I sneakily added a mask into my online basket. Whoops.

Lancome Grandiose Mascara

I first saw the Lancôme Grandiôse Swan-Neck Mascara in one of Tati’s videos and I must say, I was VERY intrigued by the shape of the wand.  I actually didn’t think this mascara would ever reach South African shores, but lo & behold – it arrived in September 2014.  Lancôme very kindly sent me a Grandiôse mascara for review & I have been using it for the past month and a half (I’m wearing it in this blog post), so I think it’s safe to say I can give you a pretty good review.
