| I'm a sucker for a good hand written note.. thanks guys. |
Hey guys hope your morning is off to a great start today I have a different post for you.
I'm actually sharing a pair of shoes and a beautiful pair if I may add to that.
So last Friday I received a package from the Proudly South African site *SAINT&SUMMER
because this is the first time I'm sharing Saint&Summer like most other brands
I would like to share their story with you.
I have taken the below beautiful extract directly from their site
written by their founders Julia and Roxy:
"SAINT&SUMMER was created much in the same way it’s now run – captivated by our local surroundings and based on a friendship foundation 20 years deep. It was in 2013 during the humid heat that is Durban in December, we began piecing together the vision for our business.
Officially launching in 2014, SAINT&SUMMER has evolved into a local company that brings together what is most loved about South Africa with a modern twist. Founded on compassion and ethics we have combined our differing skill sets and focused them to realize our shared vision – To bring you perfectly styled, uniquely designed, quality footwear".
Autumn/Winter 2018
SAINT&SUMMER is all about comfortable shoes this season and I couldn't be more
happier, the collections are as follows
Platform Sneaker
Platform Espadrille
Magnificent Mules
Lovely Loafers
SHOP : HERE SAINT&SUMMER
Because this is a NEW IN post I will not go into a detailed review
regarding the shoes and the whole collection I will save that for a later review.
Happy shopping!!!

NEW IN | TAKEALOT Essence, Revlon, Skin Republic
Hey guys, about two weeks ago I was just creating wishlists online
and TAKEALOT.COM popped up and I ended up buying a few items there,
which I have been eyeing for a while as they are quite difficult to get in Soweto.
To think that I have only been doing my brows with a brow pencil and the brow comb forever I thought that it was time I invested on some brow gel and powder. But before I even invest on the expensive stuff I thought that I should try the drugstore one's first and see what the hype is about really on powder/gel brow products
I also bought some Skin Republic Collagen Under Eye Patch and if you follow me mostly on snap (@zanelemondi) you will clearly see that I have a very dark under eye area and this year
I thought that I should try some of these products (I will be testing them out soon and you know me, I will give you an honest opinion).
Another thing that I bought was the Revlon Eye, Cheek and Lip Palette Seductive Smokies which I have been eyeing for a while, tried searching for local reviews and they were limited, I will be reviewing this palette shortly.
I think that my online beauty buys for this month were not bad at all.
Shopping List:
1. Revlon Eye, Cheek and Lip Palette Seductive Smokies - R214 ($16.44)
2. Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara- No. 02 - R51 ($3.92)
3. Essence Eyebrow Designer - 02 Brown - R28 ($2.15)
4. Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set - R51 ($3.92)
5. Skin Republic Collagen Under Eye Patch - R43 ($3.30)

Hair Review | Silky Straight Heat Resistant Wig
On Instagram I posted a mini video flaunting my short hair then told everyone that the link can be found on the bio. Silly me cause I never did a hair review on this hair. Sorry guys for the confusion.
The unit that I'm wearing according to the site Gamiss.com is called a Silky Straight Heat Resistant Wig for Women* which retails for $12.16 which is +/- R165 South African Rands.
So far I only wear the wig when I'm going out on events, taking pics for Insta and only once for work when my other wig was being washed.
I haven't washed it yet or even ironed it yet cause I'm scared.
Maybe I should do a first impression for it on YouTube, LOL.

New In | The R100 Makeup Brush Set
It's Friday and we made it.
Not to take up too much time again I just thought that I should finally share the Stylish 10 Pcs Fiber Powder Brush Eyeshadow Brush Face Eye Makeup Brushes Set* that I got from the site GAMISS for the amazing price of only $6.66 which is around R94 - R96 South African Rands.
I have done a full review of the site GAMISS which you can read over HERE
I have been using the brushes for over two - three weeks now and I'm loving the quality, hopefully I will create a YouTube video soon showing you how they actually work.
So if you are looking for an affordable makeup brush set, this one is for you.

Online Shopping | Gamiss.com Review & Shopping Experience
 |
| Online Shopping | Gamiss.com Review |
A few weeks back I was contacted by the site Gamiss.com to do a little shopping on their site and also share my experience. I took on this offer because when it comes to online shopping on some international sites I'm still scaptical, lets get into the review and see how it went.
THE SITE
Gamiss.com mainly carries fashion for woman, man and kids at wholesale prices. They also carry bags, Jewelry, Hair, Accessories, Bags, Beauty, etc. The site as a whole is easy to navigate, you are able to see which stuff goes where and the payment options are also placed nicely on the footer. Taking about payment options I don't know about you but when I buy items internationally or locally I prefer using Paypal, cause I think it is "safer", anywhoooo lets move along.
SHOPPING
Shopping is quite easy on the site as you select the items that you want and move along to check out. When shopping the site also tells the appoximate amount of shipping costs. And that is the down side as the site does not offer free shipping to South Africa. I'm not complaining though as the prices are affordable so even with the shipping costs items don't cost as much as they would locally.
SHIPPING
Once payment has been made you will be able to track your parcel immediately, my items took 10 days to get to South Africa, then was with South African customs for like 30 days. I must say that the customs department failed me in this one or else I would have received the package sooner.
CONTENT
The item descrptions were on point as what I ordered on the site was exactely what I got *IMPRESSED*.
SUMMARY
Overall I'm impressed with what the site has to offer and will I be shopping there again? Yes!!! I will.
Do I recommened the site?
Yes
Shipping
4/5
Overall
4/5
P.S. In my next coming posts I will be sharing all the items* that I bought and reviweing them
individually, hopefully you will enjoy the posts.
Till the next post.

New In | Yardley // Essence // Avon
 |
| Yardley /// Absolute Translucent Loose Powder /// R149.99 |
 |
| Essence /// Stay All Day Foundation /// R89.00 |
 |
| Avon /// Prime & Set Spray /// R149.00 |
I tend to buy alot of product and forget to take pictures of them while they are still new.
So I thought that I should snap the above three newbies before trying them on.
The story with the Yardley Absolute Translucent Powder is so long but to sum it up, here it goes I actually saw it for the first time on GentleOrchid's Instagram sometime around March-April 2016, and I had to have it but when I went to my local mall (local being Jabulani and Maponya Mall) they didn't carry the product, they only had the normal Yardley loose powders.
So months went by and one great review after the next see reviews here (Bylungi Blog and MelaninMagic Blog) I still couldn't get it because ooh well Edgar's system was offline or the month end lines at Clicks would just be long till I actually ordered it online.
I really don't believe it took me months to get this product.
The Essence Stay All Day foundation and the Avon Prime and Set Sprays were also a struggle for me to get, first because the shade Caramel on the All Day foundation is hard to get and secondly the Prime and Set Sprays on the Avon brochures were never on sale and by the time that they were actually on sale the Avon lady has relocated.
Gosh the struggle is real.
I can't wait to start testing out these great products and share their reviews.

BornPrettyStore | Let's Contour
Happy Monday everybody,
hope that all is off to a great start, sorry there were no blogposts last week I
was not feeling well.
Today I have a blog first
(I’m doing a lot of firsts because I want us to learn and master this makeup –
life thing together) I will be showing you how to contour. As you known by now,
the sight BornPrettyStore sent me some of their samples for me to review and I
saved the best for last.
Their contour kit which has
a retail price of $8.99 includes the contour/colour correcting/highlighting palette,
contour brush and their beauty blender. SHOP HERE
The palette is pretty
simple to work, it blends quickly and can be used by all people of colour.
The brush is very soft and can
be used for application or blending but I prefer to use it on the cheek area and
the forehead area as it is quite big for the nose.
The beauty blender as well
can be used for application and blending but the beauty blender can be used for
almost everything in the face.
The palette applies easily
and can last the whole day as it is liquid based, overall I am impressed.
P.S. You can get a 10% discount on all your purchases using the code ZAH10
SHOP : HERE
As you get the palette, the
brush and the beauty blender.
Packaging: 4/5
A mirror wouldn’t hurt.
Repurchase: Yes
Overall: 4/5
I hope that you have
enjoyed my BornPrettyStore series.

Beauty Wishlist | Holiday/Gift Guide Under $74
I love making wishlists because you just select everything that you have been eyeing for the year and I usually just compile everything in categories, yesterday it was accessories (Link) and today it is beauty (my favorite).
Today the Online Store that I have featured is called Spring and they are inspired by the beautiful boutiques lining New York City's Spring Street in SoHo, and they have created their brand to emulate the experience of having all these shops available in one place, how cool is that!
You can also download their cool app here (App Link) US only.
Have you done your wishlist and shared it with anyone yet?
