Essence Make up to Match Foundation  I bought it the moment it hit our shelves in Müller. The colour match looked fine, which is rare for us pale girls, so I took it. It has zero pigmentation.

FACE PRODUCTS Foundation  Bourjois has some of the best foundations among drugstore brands and their Healthy Mix Range is my favourite.

I thought there's going to be loads of them everywhere, but...

I've recently done a post about my current obsession with chocolate/cocoa scented products (click) and in that post I mentioned I had a coconut craving sometime in the Spring.
