One of my favourite beauty quotes, is one by Coco Chanel which says : ~ The best colour in the world, is the one that looks good on you! ~
 After school I did the full Health & Skin Care Therapist – National & International diplomas – course at Isa Carstens in Stellenbosch. Which is where I realised that I could never confine myself creative self to a salon/spa cubicle all day...
But this was also where I discovered my passion for make-up.
I simply fell in love – not so much with the make-up itself – but with the thought of the endless possibilities.. the adventures.. the stories that could be told in this magical world of make-up.

On my blog, I share my journey through my experiences, reviews, advise & tips on make-up, hair, nails & all things beauty related.
In short – I am a Make-up Artist by passion and profession – in that order

Renée Andrea Reddy is an Attorney by profession and a confessed beauty junkie by passion! She is a vibrant young woman who shares her passions and joys on her blog, The Lite Side of Life (www.thelitesideoflife.blogspot.com). The Lite Side of Life was inspired by anything and everything that excites her, anything that gets a spring in her step or a gleam in her eye. She wanted to focus on the lighter things in life, the simple pleasures of life...which can range from indulging in a sinful dessert or having a freshly painted manicure! The Lite Side of Life underwent a transformation as it was started with the notion of being a healthy living and fitness blog but has evolved into a beauty blog. This evolution has clearly unearthed and displayed her true love for everything beauty related. She has honed in on teaching other women how to achieve manicures that one would generally be too afraid to try on one’s own, with easy to follow nail art tutorials. Renée’s fascination with beauty ranges from everything beauty inspired, be it from perfecting a new make-up look, playing around with different hairstyles or feeding her nail polish obsession! While her blog may be beauty centric, her passions range from traveling, fashion, politics, cooking, photography, poetry, philosophy, fitness, reading and anything and everything adventurous!

I am twenty something with an unhealthy cat obsessionfrom Pretoria, sunny South Africa. I love colour, the internet, watermelon and baking!
Miss Claira-Bella is a beauty blog, established in March 2012, which is also my platform to share a little bit of everything that I find wonderful and exciting in the world. I am a nail art fanatic, which is what got me to blog in the first place, and blogging has now become my biggest passion.
 You can often find me blogging about pretty polishes, nail trends as well as tips and tricks on nail care in general. I also do tons of reviews on budget cosmetics and exciting new products that hit the shelves. Thanks to Beauty Bulletin’s product review club, I have started my own YouTube channel focussing on product reviews and I hope to get support from my readers so I can do more personal video’s and show you a bit of my life.
I have met some amazing people in the beauty and blogging industry in South Africa and have come to know some of my readers which is one of my biggest blogging rewards. I love to get to know all of my readers by reading comments and chatting on Twitter. I hope you love reading my articles and don’t forget to let me know what you think!

I’m a shoe-obsessed, discount-loving, avid-reading opinionated pint size female with an over developed sense of honesty. I am one of the lucky 4 faces of Placecol and I am tiny bit obsessive when it comes to good skin care. Since my nerdy teens, I’ve been dreaming of dressing tables filled with endless supply of make-up, wardrobes filled with shoes, nail polishes that never chip and a library stacked to the roof with trashy romance novels; and I still do. My beauty must haves are a pink tinted lip-gloss, waterproof mascara and gallons of hair conditioner. I love to cook, I grow my own herbs and I change my own light bulbs.

I’m not a fashionista nor am I a beauty guru. I’m just an opinionated girl who’s obsessed with growing her hair and loves pretty things.
My blog ‘O so inspired’ is a collection of things that I like, my DIY crafts, music, beauty reviews and pretty much anything else I fancy. It’s a digital daybook, which I share with the world. Well at least a small part of the world that reads it.
I laugh at my own jokes and walk into walls. I cry during sad bits in movies and love losing myself in a good book.  I love the colour pink and I can’t be trusted alone around chocolate. I love learning about different cultures and trying new dishes. I own an irrational amount of earrings and head bands.
The beauty product I cannot live without is conditioner. I have long, dry, curly hair that loves tangling; conditioner saves me from chopping all of my hair off, which I'd end up regretting. I’d like to think that on bad hair days my hair resembles Beyonce’s, except in reality it looks more like Tina Turner’s. My hair idols are Zooey Deschanel, Florence Welch and Lana Del Rey.
I self-trim my hair because I fear a scissor happy hairdresser will cut off more than I want. This may make me sound crazy, but I trim my hair according to the moon.

I am a "just turned forty" mom of two cute kiddies aged 5 and 6. I am totally addicted to beauty products and am always striving to find that elusive perfect product. I work from home most days, but also go into the office a few mornings a week when my kids are at school, so it's very important to me that I always look my best. Time is always of the essence so I love products that do double duty and save me time.
 I know it's not very politically correct to say this, but I absolutely hated turning forty and am determined to try and stay young-looking for as long as possible. I think we should all grow old disgracefully and fight old age tooth and nail with every ounce of our being! I will definitely keep you posted on anything I find that helps me in my quest! I love products that look natural on my skin, but also enjoy going totally glam for that rare evening out on the town. Yes, hubby and I still party every now and again and I own lots of stiletto heels! I don't believe that turning forty means I must start looking middle-aged and dowdy. There are no crocs with socks in my cupboard!
I don't have a Beauty Blog, but am very excited to write articles for Beauty Bulletin as beauty is a passion of mine.
