SassyChic Online Store Review

I recently had the opportunity to test out another South African online store, this time it was Sassy Chic and I will definitely add it to my regular online store go-to list. Easy layout and a great introductory for consumers a little unsure of the whole online shopping experience it has step by step instructions explaining each part, if you get stuck they also offer an instant chat option to help guide you.

The store offers around 30 well-known brands and has a fairly good selection of clothing, handbags and lingerie, they lack a little in the shoes section though. Overall a really easy to use and cute store with incredible sales and I must commend them on how quickly my parcel was delivered.

I was gifted a voucher to try out their store and purchased this over-sized black Blackcherry clutch. Blackcherry is currently a very coveted brand and one which I have been purchasing from way back since they were relatively unknown when Style36 (known back then as 36Boutiques) first started offering the brand on their site.
I also picked up this gorgeous Triumph bra that was on sale.

Be sure to check out Sassy Chic especially if you are still a bit unsure about the whole online shopping world they are sure to qualm any worries and ensure a lovely introduction to the ease of online shopping.

Nerd - Outfit Of The Day

Slogan tops are so in at the moment and so is my obsession with muted greys it seems. When I saw this top on a UK site I just had to have it as I feel like I am in complete nerd mode right now. Currently writing out essays and notes for my exams until my hand feels like it is breaking. I have felt a lot more disciplined this semester and really hope to complete my degree soon.

Beauty Review- Estee Lauder Hydrationist Cream

This time of the year my skin starts to freak out a little bit and my usual combination skin tends to become very dry and lackluster. I love to have a healthy glow and most of that comes from within, eating healthier, drinking plenty coconut water and green tea and stay as hydrated as possible. However, with harsher external elements ones skin needs a little extra loving. In steps my new favourite moisture rich cream Estee Lauder Hydrationist. It is ideal for normal/combination skin types and never makes my skin feel too oily instead it feels nourished. If you do have a problem skin then you will happy to know it is non-acnegenic. For dry skin types there is also a variation for you.



Available from Estee Lauder online and Estee Lauder stockists for 50ml it retails at R525, which lasts quite some time as you really only need a pea size amount for sufficient moisture on your entire face. It absorbs quickly and leaves a silky soft feeling, the fragrance is soft and fresh but won't bother those who aren't fond of fragrances in creams. It is definitely my go-to cream this winter!
