Essence Longlasting Nude Lipsticks

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday , hope you had a relaxing long weekend (or just enjoyed the public holiday yesterday if you weren't lucky enough to have Monday off off )

A few weeks ago when I popped into Deschem,  I saw these amazing nude lipsticks in the Essence stand. I swatched them in-store and decided to get one ( I was sick after all, that justifies a lipstick... ) and got my heart set on Wearing only a smile (The lightest one of the bunch.) I accidentally took a different one (Porcelain Doll ) and paid - I'll blame the flu meds ... But fell in love with Porcelain Doll instantly. I'm a huge fan of nude lips... So this was a winner. And nude lips goes with ANY make-up look . 

Then a week or two after that,  Essence sent me some Trend edition goodies to try out... And to my surprise... Wearing Only a Smile was included. I got a second colour too ... Come Naturally that's a darker nude , but still amazingly gorgeous.

Formula on these lipsticks are amazing ... These they go on smoothly and are VERY pigmented. I have quiet pigmented lips, and these lipsticks go on just as swatched. The formula isn't drying , almost moisturising . The colour lasts about 2/3 hours on me, but then again I don't wear long wear lipsticks, so this doesn't bother me, the colour and formula is a win in my books. 

So onto the colours swatches ...



1. Wearing Only A Smile :
This is a light almost pink -ish nude, super gorgeous . I love wearing this as an everyday lip colour. 

2. Porcelain Doll : 
This is a warmer nude colour, again, I do feel it pulls a little peachy on my skin tone, but I absolutely love this one . This is seriously the perfect nude lip for any occasion.

3. Come Naturally :
This is the darkest one in the collection, this is more a mauve nude but still gorgeous. Especially on darker skin tones. 

There are 2 more in the collection 04 It's Nude Time , a almost concealer like colour ( And on my list to get next ... ) and 05 Cool Nude - A darker brown nude . 

Again , these lipsticks are SUPER affordable, amazing quality , and let's be real .. You can never have too many nude lipsticks. 

Do you love nude lipsticks ? Which one of these are your favourite ??

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
