Anyone who follows me on Instagram or Snapchat (@misssaib) will know that I love making this flop proof chocolate cake. What I absolutely adore about this recipe is that it takes 5 minutes to whip up and another 5 minutes in the microwave which makes it a go to dessert for a last minute invite. It is not only absolutely soft and chocolatey but tastes like any regular chocolate cake that you bake for an hour in the oven and if that’s not a win, then I don’t know what is!
I’m coming clean with #GarnierComeClean
As many beauties will know by now, Micellar water is perhaps one of the top selling beauty products from around the globe which is loved by models and makeup artists alike. South Africa however, is only now jumping on the wagon thanks to a new (and affordable) release from Garnier.
I was quite keen to try out this magic beauty water but wasn’t too sure if it was worth all the hype. The day before I received a lovely press pack from rubybox, I spent almost 10 minutes in Clicks deciding whether or not to just take a bottle and have a go at it which, thankfully I didn’t!
Recently, eye makeup has become a sort of essential to my makeup look. I have honestly no idea where this sudden love of wearing eye shadow (almost every day) came from, but I’m not complaining. Thankfully, applying eye makeup nowadays is so much easier to do- even if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body. In my opinion, it doesn’t really matter what kind of shadow you use or what colour even, but the way to get your application right all boils down to the brushes you use.
This weekend I had the pleasure to dine at the beautifully decorated Dash Restaurant in the Queen Victoria Hotel at the V&A Waterfront and could not have been more impressed!
Say hello to my latest obsession, SKOON Skincare, an excellent beauty brand born and bred in South Africa. This bespoke brand is an all-natural skin care range that finds inspiration from a time when products were delicately made by hand with love and the highest level of care. All products are full in the aromas of nature’s abundance – think pure plant oils, rich butters, delicate floral essences and botanical extracts which all come together to create a beautifully pioneered skin care system.
