Wedgeday with Daniella Michelle


These are the most comfortable wedges in the world!

They have that school girl type look, you know, the good ol Buccaneers! Daniella Michelle is more expensive than the usual Zoom Shoes, but is totally worth it for the quality and comfort you get.

I love the simplicity of the wedge, and the height too.

Have a lovely rest of the week!

Today I have a few items I am lusting over from Rubybox

How cute are these Pastellicious Invisibobbles! As you may have read in my Carlton Hair Post HERE, I have been using my Invisibobbles every day, for pony tails and buns after Kim Franklin, master stylist at Carlton Hair Hyde Park recommended it. I currently only have a pack of black, and these look too cute to pass up!

Wedgeday Double Trouble!

Today I have two wedges for you, since I missed out last week!


I bought these wedges about two years ago, and I love them! I loved them so much I needed one in each colour!

They are really pretty and comfortable, and look a lot like Melissas, but they are not, they are Anna Nucci, so no yummy sweet smell for me! Except from my actual Melissas, which I will post once I start my Shoesday Tuesdays! I really love the different colour straps, and the strip down the back. They are also both super glossy, which you can't really see in these pictures unfortunately.

They are really comfortable, I think I have worn them each once, a long time ago, but I cannot be sure. These are perfect for dresses or pants, and the height is great too.

Happy Wedgeday Ladies!

Carlton Hair and Davines: Trends, Treatments and Tips!

Carlton Hair hosted a launch at their flagship Hyde Park store recently, to fill us in on hair trends and introduce us to a new treatment from Davines, called the replumping treatment!


David Gilson, master stylist extraordinaire took time out of his busy schedule to fill us in on what's hot and happening in the hair world.

From flamboyage to ammonia free permanent colour, Davines has thought of it all.

Two of my favourite trends were the "K Pop" (Korean Pop) modeled by Tamara Dey and "So 90's" modeled by Lalla Hirayama. There were also styles such as "Barbie Honolulu", which is a faux bob look, and "Surfer Girl", which is a textured and casual look.



Let me tell you a bit about Carlton Hair in Hyde Park... Do you need eyelash extensions, nails, threading or waxing done? Well get over to Hyde Park Carlton Hair. Do you want to lie down on a super comfy bed while your hair gets washed or treated? Head over to Carlton Hyde Park, it is a one of a kind salon! There is also soon to be a blow dry bar!

Now, onto the treatment. We were invited for a replumping moisturising treatment, and my stylist was Master Stylist, Master Trainer, Master Colourist and Artistic team member for Carlton Hair, Kim Franklin. Pretty impressive right? 

The treatment is hydrating and elasticising for all hair types, add the micro mist which increases the absorption and makes you feel like you are at a spa, what is not to love?


Kim decided my hair was a bit too cold/harsh in colour, and wanted to warm the colour up a bit. She used Davines' ammonia free tint, there was no strong chemical smell, no burning eyes, a lovely way to permanently colour your hair without damaging it. 

Time to rinse off, enter heaven...

All I needed to do was lie down on the bed, to wash my hair, how amazing is that? I usually feel so uncomfortable at the wash basins, but here I was completely relaxed. The treatment was then applied, the shampoo, conditioner and hair filler superactive. Then the mist was put on, the smell of the mist is so relaxing, it contains essential oils, and is good for your skin too. And eventually I had to get up off the bed to get my hair styled. Kim did a bit of trimming, and then dried and styled my hair, and applied the Davines Oi. What a scent, like perfume, with hair moisturising properties! 

My hair felt so soft, light, and moisturised after my treatment, and I was really pleased with the results. The best thing about this treatment, well, beside lying in a misty euphoria, is that there are at home replumping products, so you can continue to treat your hair in the comfort of you own home.

Give your hair a treat, and replump. The treatment is available at all Carlton Hair Salons, but the lie down basins, are only available at Hyde Park, so get on a plane, train or bus and get down to Hyde Park to try it!

I will leave you with two tips from Kim herself:
Don't sleep with your hair loose, put it in a loose bun or plait (I was guilty of this)
Use Invisibobbles, I use mine for buns now too! Rubybox has some cute new pastel colours.

Have a good plump hair day!

Mani Monday with Revlon and Sinful


I am not too happy with this Mani, it was a bit boring, although it did look better in person.

I used Sinful Colors in "Secret Admirer" and Revlon "Gold Coin"

They both apply well, and are quite long lasting. Secret Admirer is a black, with a very fine gold glitter/shimmer in it. And well, I just love Gold Coin!

Have a good week ladies!

Fancying Friday with Colour Burst Studio!

Happy Friday!

Today's wishlist is a short and sweet one!

Heard great things about the Sigma F80 brush, but find it too expensive? Apparently this Stipple Brush from Burst Studios is an exact dupe, and R250! What is not to love about that!

FD 05-Stipple Brush

FD 05-Stipple Brush
This revolutionary foundation brush has a flat top to stipple foundation onto the skin. Foundation can be applied to have a light to heavy coverage. It is made of exceptional quality synthetic hair and can be used with any foundation consistency. Apply the foundation directly to the brush and apply in stippling and circular movements for a light finish.  For a heavier coverage, apply some foundation directly to the skin, then using stippling movements, create a heavier coverage. You'll never use another foundation brush again! A must-have!

Next up is this buffing brush. I love buffing my make up into my skin, so this looks like a perfect tool to create light flawless looking makeup! And for R242, Yes Please!

FD 01-Large Foundation Buffing Brush

FD 01-Large Foundation Buffing Brush
This brush is 19mm in diameter, and made of Synthetic hair. Use this brush in fast circular movements to "air-whip" the foundation onto the skin, or buff the foundation into a velvety finish after the application. 

Check out the rest of their brushes HERE, you can thank me later!

Have a good weekend ladies!

July Rubybox Unboxing and a haul!

Hi Ladies

I am sick, which is not pleasant at all, so forgive me for not doing my Wedgeday post, I will do a double wedge next week. I just couldn't bear to take off my fluffy socks!

Today will be a quick post on my Rubybox, as well as some recent buys!


This is what I got this month, it isn't great, it isn't bad. The value is more than R180, which is awesome, but I am not a fan of the colour of the lipstick.

So, I have an Incanto Bloom perfume sample, I think this is my 100th one!
A woolworths lipstick (full size)
A facial soap
and a Foot File

And now for the Haul!

Clockwise from Top Left:


I ordered a few things from Rubybox Boutique, which you can check out HERE. They usually have awesome specials and giveaways, like the Stila lipglaze, Africology set and Bourjois Brush Set. Here is a list of what I bought:

Bloom Blush Duo
Bloom Eye Definer
Stila smudgestick in Umber (Received lip glaze for free)

The next two pictures are Dischem hauls!

I bought a Catrice foundation, eye shadows, and highlighter.
A revlon tinted moisturiser, highlighter and concealor 
and a Rimmel blush tint

I also bought a crazy amount of body butters, body yogurts and body scrubs, which smell AMAZING! They are from a brand called Fennel, and are only R30. They have amazing scents like Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cherry Blossom, Ginger Bread and Strawberry Ice Cream. Who could resist!
I also found this cool mousse type body cream, which contains Shea Butter

Lastly, as most of you will know, The Body Shop has a sale on now, so go check it out!

I bought a Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator
Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

Fiszz Facial at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre



I was invited to experience The Fiszz Facial at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre. 

I walked in and immediately felt relaxed. The interior is sleek and pretty, yet professional. 

Situated in the heart of trendy Melrose Arch, The Melrose Aesthetic Centre sets the standard in anti-aging face treatments, body procedures and lifestyle programmes. Their team of medical and aesthetic professionals and highly capable support personnel are trained both locally and internationally and regularly updated on the latest trends in the aesthetic industry.


My appointment started on time, which is always a plus for me.

The Fiszz Facial by Innovative Skincare is a luxurious, deep-cleansing, exfoliating and anti-aging facial treatment that will leave your skin feeling smoother, brighter and hydrated through a combination of aromatic cleansers in a four-phase solution:

First up, cleansing the face with the Warming Honey Cleanser, which smells amazing, isn't drying at all, and didn't make my skin feel tight. It is similiar to a skin cleansing balm. The skin is left moisturised and protected from free radicals through a combination of anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial ingredients including honey, papaya enzymes and olive oil. It was warm, aromatic and nurturing!

Next was the Clarifying Mud Masque which was massaged into my skin, and then steamed which is meant to intensify the exfoliation and deep cleansing properties of the masque. Containing rosemary and citrus extracts to open pores, exfoliate, brighten and improve cellular metabolism. 

Now comes the fun part, the Fiszz Masque System! The masque was applied to my face, and then the copper mist sprayed on to activate the bubbling effect. As soon as the mist was sprayed on I could feel tingling bubbles all over, but mostly on my problem areas. Once the tingling stopped the mist was sprayed again, and the bubbling started again. This was repeated three times. What I loved about this part is that you feel something happening, yes the bubbles are awesome, but the tingling feeling means that something is working. A patented citric acid masque known as the “champagne facial” for the effervescent and bubbly sensation against your face, leaving your skin lightly resurfaced and smoothed. The copper mist spray promotes collagen production and increases elasticity.

The treatment was awesome, my skin looked smoother and less clogged immediately and I feel that my skincare routine is more effective without a layer of dead skin cells as a barrier.

The Fiszz Facial is suited to all skin types and tones and improves skin texture, purifies clogged pores, revitalised dull and lacklustre skin and provides relief to dry and dehydrated skin. Below are a few benefits of the facial:

• Reveals a brighter and more vibrant complexion
• Optimizes moisture levels deep within the skin
• Helps scavenge free radicals and fight oxidation
• Soothes inflammation
• Encourages renewal via healthy cellular turnover 
• Regulates the production of the skin’s natural oils
• Stimulates healthy metabolism within skin cells

There is also an at home range, where you can continue to treat your skin concerns. 

You can have a look at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre website HERE, for all of their impressive offerings!

Wedgeday with Plum!


Happy Wedgeday Ladies!
I am late again, yes I know it is Thursday. But between work and fasting I am slowly unraveling! And let us not forget the freezing cold weather... I want to go every where in my onesie!

Today's wedge is from Plum, I bought it about a year ago, it is super high, and I have not worn it yet. I was obsessed with getting a black suede wedge, so I bought it even though it is ridiculously high. I am not sure if I will ever wear it, so if anyone is a size 4, and wants to buy a brand new super high black suede wedge please do let me know!

Please can the weekend come... Like now!

Mani Monday with Essie, Essence and Sinful!


For today's Mani I used four different polishes, and I was happy with the results.

The red is Twin Sweater Set from Essie, which is a great polish, no streaking, and this was just two coats.
The white is by Sinful, called Snow me White, it is one of my favourite white polishes, as most streak really badly, but this one doesn't, I used two coats of this too.
The grey textured polish is from Essence, and called Headphones on. I used two coats, the first coat is a bit sheer, but with a second one it is perfect. It is a bit hard to remove, but not as bad as glitter polishes.
The speckled polish is Unwrap Me by Sinful, and layered over the white looks so cool! There was no fishing needed for the glitter pieces, and this is just one coat. There are red and black pieces in this polish.

Have a good week Ladies!

The Stila winner will be announced later today... Good Luck all!

Milk Peelease!

That means milk peel please in Prettiful Vocabulary!

Milk Peel

I was invited for a milk peel by the lovely ladies at Pure Aesthetics and Dermaceutic.

Pure Aesthetics is a skin care clinic situated inside the Linksfield Hospital. I wouldn't say it is a salon, because it is so much more than that. Pure Aesthetics specialises in skin health, as well as plastic surgery. Dr Doucas the plastic surgeon has a keen interest in non-invasive, anti-ageing procedures which inspired him to extend his practice into this field, ultimately resulting in the creation of Pure Aesthetics. Ingrid Katz, an extremely knowledgable and qualified therapist is dedicated to helping each client find real solutions for optimal skin health and to reveal their most beautiful and glowing complexion.

With a team like that, what is not to love!

Nicole from Dermaceutic joined me for my treatment to fill me in on what Dermaceutic is, and what they do, and I was impressed. Nicole is very clued up on not only Dermaceutic products, but on general skin health too.

Dermaceutic products are classified as a Cosmeceutical, which according to Wikipedia, cosmeceuticals refers to the combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products with biologically active ingredients purporting to have medical or drug-like benefits.

So, in normal english, they have more active ingredients to reveal better results than ordinary cosmetics!

Now for the treatment. The milk peel is a superficial peel and is suited to people suffering from a dull complexion, wrinkles, or someone just looking for smoother, softer skin. It contains glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicyclic acid.

The treatment is only 30 minutes, and the results are amazing! It is recommended to have the peel 4 times in 2 months, once every 2 weeks.

There is a slight tingly sensation, but it is not uncomfortable at all. My skin immediately looked fresher, smoother and more radiant. There is no downtime with this peel, and your skin doesn't physically peel at all. So, you could do this in your lunch break, and go back to work and continue your day. But be prepared for compliments, or questions, because you will be glowing!

After the treatment Nicole asked if I wanted foundation, I first said no, because I didn't want to clog my pores after my peel. She then introduced me to my new best friend, Oxygenetix! It is a breathable foundation which was designed to cover, heal and minimise post procedure scars. It also covers and treats various skin problems such as rashes, dry skin, acne scars and rosacea. You can find more info about this foundation HERE

Between the peel and Oxygenetix my skin has never looked better. I was going out that night, so when I went for a shower, I did not wash my face. Haha, gross I know, but I wanted to keep my face looking exactly how it did when I left Pure Aesthetics, and it did. It has now been two weeks since my peel, and my skin is still radiant and glowing.

I was given a sample of Hyal Ceutic to use as often as possible after the treatment to repair and nourish the skin. Hyal Ceutic is thick and rich, but no clogged pores in sight. My skin did not peel, was not dry and there were no negative side effects after this peel.

The Milk Peel is R700, and worth every cent. After experiencing this peel and the results, I will gladly spend that amount for the next 3 treatments. Speaking of, it has been two weeks since the peel, so I am up for the next one, luckily pay day has just happened!

Besides the professional peels and products, Dermaceutic has a home care range, where you can continue to pamper your skin in the comfort of your own home. For more details, please visit the website HERE

And for the good news! Pure Aesthetics is having a Dermaceutic Promo Day on the 30th July. You can get a FREE Milk or Mask Peel with the purchase of 2 Dermaceutic homecare products and save up to R700.

Wedgeday with Forever 21!


Today's wedge is from Forever 21!

It is a stunning animal print wedge bootie. I have not worn this yet, and I probably should, because before we know it summer will be here... Wishful thinking, right? This statement bootie needs to be paired with something understated and classy to avoid looking... Fill in the blanks :)

The bootie is quite high, but comfortable, since it is quite a wide wedge.

Now, time to put my fluffy socks and ugg boots back on... Brrrrr

Have a lovely wedgeday ladies!

June Favourites!


Every month I plan on doing a favourites post, but I never quite get down to it! I am starting this month, and hopefully continue every month.

Revlon CC Cream
I am loving this CC cream, it has quite good coverage, and has become my go to CC cream for both day and night. It has spf 30, which is very important to me, and should be to everyone else too. It gives a glowing finish which I love, I am not much of a matte look fan. If you are looking for a good coverage CC cream, this is for you!

Essence Silky Touch Blush in 10 'Adorable'
This is the perfect colour blush for a healthy flushed look. And it is so affordable. Great pigment, and just one small swipe of your brush gives glowing cheeks.

Maybelline Colour Pop 
I found this in the Maybelline sale box a while ago at my Dischem for only R46. It gives a slight tint to the lips, with a glossy finish. I love it, an is my go to lip product for quick make up days.

La Mer eye cream
I have started using this eye cream religiously morning and evening recently, apparently you are meant to start using eye cream from 25 years old, two years later I have started, but better late then never, right? It is creamy and rich, but not greasy, and La Mer, so why not!

Loreal Magic Blur Finishing Cream
I use this most days as a primer over my moisturiser and under my BB/CC cream. It blurs the skin, reducing the look of pores and fine lines. It really does blur the skin, and is amazing!

Argan Oil
This was the first argan oil product I bought a couple of years ago, and promptly forgot about as I bought more and more. It has a lovely smell, and I use it on damp hair, as well as on my ends if my hair is looking scraggly. It is quite thick and gloopy, but once you rub it between your hands it becomes thin. It makes my hair super soft and smelling pretty.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream
I bought this recently, and I use it every night without fail! It looks very rich and thick, but it is quickly absorbed into the skin. It is not greasy at all, and I will definitely continue using it, and repurchase once it is finished.

Elim Medi Heel
This foot cream is amazing! No dry feet in sight for me this winter. It has a very nice smell, and has a sort of powder finish when it dries, which I love. There is nothing worse than putting moisturised feet in shoes and sliding all over the place! I would definitely buy this again!

Elim Medi Hand
This hand cream is very moisturising and non greasy. The cream has an aromatherapy smell to it, but it doesn't last very long. I use this every time I wash my hands, and even in this dry winter I have not had dry nails or cuticles once. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from dry hands. The one thing I wish this product had is an spf, it is as important on your hands as on your face.

Great Bargain Update!

I bought all of this at Truworths yesterday for only R620, it is worth more than R1200. More details on the great bargains page HERE 


Happy July everyone!

Catrice and Essence New Products!

I love Catrice and Essence Products, they are always on trend, and affordable!


Below are some of the new products that are launching soon, that I have my eyes on:

First up Catrice


Lash Boost Lash Extension Fibres 
Principle of Maximisation. Special fibres create a fast volume and lash-extending effect. Simply apply your favourite mascara and then – while the texture is still moist – apply a coat of the Lash Extension Fibres. As the final step, apply another coat of mascara on your lashes. The results: lashes that are unrivalled in terms of thickness and length. 


Tinted Lip Glow Balm 
Glow Show. The pampering lip balm intensifies the natural colour of your lips and tints it with a subtle touch of pink – which varies depending on the individual pH value of the skin on your lips. The result is longlasting, natural and 100% unique. The more often you apply the colour, the more intense it looks. One shade fits all.


Beautifying Lip Smoother 
Beautifier. The Beautifying Lip Smoother complements every natural make-up look: a subtle colour dispersion in pastel rosé and gentle nude shades with a glossy finish ensure a soft, well-groomed appearance. The Lip Smoother visibly evens out fine lines around your lips for flawless results. Its flock applicator and the practical tube packaging perfectly round off the concept. Available in a total of two shades: 020 Apricot Cream and 030 Cake Pop. 





Luxury Lacquers Million Brilliance 
Beauty Jewels. The Luxury Lacquers Million Brilliance have an intense glitter shimmer to create special reflections of light on your nails. The concept unites a brilliant texture with a high coverage and unique 3D particles with beautiful effects. The polishes are now available in five exclusive colours - including silver, gold and lavender – and come in a stylish, premium glass bottle. Available in 01 It’s Showtime, 04 Lost ´N Roses, 05 Plum Fiction, 07 Stars & Stories and 08 My Big Green Wedding.


Luminizing Bronzer 
Golden Globe. The baked bronzing powder with a coppery rosé gold marbling gives your face and neckline a natural-looking tan and a subtle glow. The raised dome powder texture with a slightly metallic marble effect is also lovely to look at. Time to extend the summer. Available in C01 Shimmer Shade. 




Illuminating Blush
Chesterfield Cheeks. The Illuminating Blush combines two different colour-intensities with a subtle shimmer and a light pearl. This accentuates the cheekbone as well as giving your complexion definition and a soft glow. The 3D diamond pattern in a Chesterfield design is absolutely eye-catching. Available in a total of three colour combinations.


Velvet Finish Concealer with Hyaluron
Cover & Care! This concealer is joining the innovative Velvet Finish family: moisturizing hyaluron, a repair complex vitamin E and B5, pampering allantoin as well as an SPF of 6. The concealer hides signs of tired skin and has a visible lifting effect. Your complexion will look fresh and radiant. Available in three nuances with a practical flock applicator. 


Photo Finish Concealer
Close-up. The moisturizing texture with light reflecting pigments corrects, covers and pampers at the same time. The twist-pen with a brush applicator makes application super easy. Available in three nuances aligned with the colours of the Photo Finish Foundation.


 Re-Touch Light-Reflect. Concealor
Light and creamy concealer for a luminous and fresh appearance. Thanks to its coverage and light-reflecting pigments it diminishes dark circles, fine lines and signs of fatigue around the eyes, but also conceals other imperfections. Its hydrating and soft texture leaves even sensitive skin under eyes feeling comfortable. Suitable for all skin types and dermatologically approved. Shade: 005


Nude Illusion Make Up
Light, melting foundation with soft -focus effect and just the right amount of mattifying coverage. For a flawless finish that looks and feels perfectly natural. With protective UVA/UVB filters. Moisturizing. Longlasting.


Lash Applicator
Super Accurate. Professional beauty tools for accurate results are in demand more than ever. This applicator has a unique design and a soft-touch finish that makes it easier to apply false lashes. This way, precision work is actually fun.


Colour Correction Powder
Ultra-fine, silky-matt powder for a healthy looking and luminous finish. Pink refreshes tired complexions, purple brightens dull skin, green neutralizes redness. Suitable for every skin type. Dermatologically tested.


Instant Eye Brightener
Bright & Beautiful. The light-reflecting texture of the Eye Brightener lightens the lower eye area and gives it a flawless radiance. The delicate rosé formula also contains hyaluronic acid, which provides rich nourishment. The pampering texture can be applied underneath as well as on top of make-up with a soft flock applicator.


Ombre Top Coat
Master of Transformation. Hair, fashion, design – the ombre look is omnipresent. And now there’s the Ombre Top Coat so you can create this trendy style on your nails, too. Simply apply a pastel or light nail colour polish, leave to dry and then reach for the new Ombre Top Coat. With each application of the top coat, the colour nail polish becomes one shade darker. Always let the individual layers of the top coat dry
really well before applying the next one. The colour gradient will be especially visible when each neighbouring nail is one shade darker: if you start off with your thumb in the original colour, then apply one layer of the Ombre Top Coat on your index finger, two on your middle finger and four on your little finger. The top coat dries extremely fast and the effect is absolutely trendy. Works particularly well with lighter nail polish colours.


Make-up Blending Sponge
Allrounder. Smoothly liquid foundation like a pro with the violet sponge. The rounded side is for applying foundation on larger surfaces while the tip is ideal for accurately distributing it around your nose, eyes and lips. Easy to wash.


Illuminating Highlighter Pen
Beauty Marker. The liquid highlighter with a silvery-pink texture ensures a radiant complexion with a silky-soft shimmer. The twist-pen with a brush makes application super easy: simply apply on cheekbones and the arch of your brows and blend softly. A true lighting artist. 


Bronzing Highlighter Pen
Sun Salutations. A liquid bronzer for a natural tanned shimmer. Thanks to its professional brush applicator, the Bronzing Highlighter Pen is easy to apply on your cheeks and blend. Now the sun shines all year long!


Prime And Fine Healthy Look Primer
Healthy Glow. The colour-correcting Primer offers a fresh, natural and healthy-looking complexion. The gentle formula with Shea butter and Argan oil calms the skin and improves the durability of make-up. Its
soft apricot texture, which contains light-reflecting pigments, provides an instant wake-up effect. Can be applied underneath make-up or on its own for a natural look. 30 ml.


Volumizing Lip Booster

And now for Essence!



Soo glow! cream to powder highlighter 
Glamour glow! The new highlighter gives your complexion a beautiful shimmer. Its creamy texture turns into a velvety, powdery formula upon application. Easy to apply with your fingers, it sets gorgeous accents on your cheekbones, underneath the brows or in the inner corners of your eyes. The highlighter is available in two different colors – one light rosé and a pretty champagne tone – so it’s ideal for every complexion. Available in 10 look on the bright side and 20 bright up your life. 


Nail art sparkle sand top coat 
Super sand style! This top coat with an innovative sand effect is a true must-have. Apply your favorite nail polish, leave to dry and then apply a coat of the sand top coat to give any color a fantastic, slightly matt 3D structure with trendy shimmer particles. Available in 24 i feel gritty! 


Shimmer pearls 
Shiny shell! The powder in the shape of pretty little pearls unites three different colors. Thanks to the light color dispersion, it gives your complexion a fresh look with a touch of shimmer. The cute “aquatix” container is lovely to look at and opens and closes really easily. Available in 01 oceans next top mermaid. 


All over body shimmer 
Sparkle like the ocean! Thanks to microfine glitter pigments, the shimmer gel gives your skin a subtle glow. Easy to wash off and with a pleasant fragrance, it’s a true eye-catcher on any occasion. Available in 01 oceans next top mermaid. 

I am super excited and hopeful that we get these soon in SA!
