Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ! Hope you're having a great week so far.  I mentioned it quite a few times, but I'm really obsessed with good skincare routine. When you have great skin , make-up products applies better and makes it last better. While I suffer from dry skin in winter, I still have a oily t-zone year round , and extremely painful break-outs and bumps lately from stress  .  Dermaceutic Mask 15  is an oil reducing mask that targets oily and acne-prone skin. This astringent clay mask removes dead skin cells, purifies the skin and removes excess oil. Take note: it contains 15% Glycolic Acid. 15%! That is powerful stuff. It also contains Salicylic acid which further aids in the exfoliation process and Bentonite which is a highly absorbent clay. So basically, this mask contains ingredients that penetrate the pores, tightening the pores, loosen all the nasty stuff , and helps clear blemishes quicker.  This is a mask that you need to foll...

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday !  As you may or may not know ,  We ♥ Nail Art  is now the exclusive dealer for piCture pOlish in South Africa. When I first heard the brand was going to be available in SA , I rushed over to pre-order 4 shades for myself . (If you want to know what other 4 shades I got.. I posted a picture on Instagram  HERE  ) As you know, and I mentioned about a billion times on here, I LOVE nude nail polishes. So it was no secret that I NEEDED to try out a nude polish (or two ... ) from the range.  piCture pOlish Nougat is a gorgeous beige nude creme polish. The formula ... *swoon* is perfection - it applies like butter and was soooo easy to work with. I used two coats with top coat in the swatches below. Seriously - I can't put into words how amaze-balls the formula is.  piCture pOlish Nougat is one of the newer released polishes from piCture pOlish. So onto the swatches : We    ♥ Nail Art also sells Mo You...

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good and relaxing. Catrice , just like Essence launched a Gel polish system a little while back and Catrice was kind enough to send these to me to try out. I also got the colour A Gallon of Melon, which is such a gorgeous peachy colour to try out with these polishes. A Gallon of Melon is a gorgeous peachy colour that applies smoothly , and is opaque in two coats.  So onto my thoughts about these polishes - I love this base coat and top coat combo together. This base coat is just sticky enough and dries matt pretty fast , I love these types of base coats as they really help your polish stay on longer in the long run. As with the Essence - This top coat is AMAZING ! It dries super shiny and fast , so if your in a hurry and need to be out the door in a flash ... This is a fantastic top coat to use.  Lasting power ? I did get a decent 5/6 days of wear before it starting chipping, which again is pretty impressive for...

Hi guys. Happy Monday . How was YOUR weekend ? I don't know about you , but this winter has been really hectic on my nails. My usually strong nails suddenly got brittle and started to break easily . I got these two treatments from Crisnail to try out, and was pleasantly surprised by these little magic bottles of nail magic.  I tested each one out for about 2 weeks each so far. I started off with the Nail Force Strengthener to start the treatment of my weak peeling nails for 2 weeks, and now I'm on the Crisnail Total Care treatment ... And my nails haven't looked this good in a long time. (And the best part - less breakage... Yeah ! ) The Strengthner works amazing to get stronger, healthier nails , while the Total Care works amazing on overall nail health.  So a little bit more info about the treatments : NAIL FORCE STRENGTHENER  Containing Calcium and Wheat Proteins to strengthen the keratin and increase the nail flexibility to prevent the nail fro...

Hi guys. Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?? Today I'm sharing 2 polishes from the New Essence Pastels Trend collection. Both these pastel polishes formula is fantastic for a polish that dries down to a matt finish. I was also seriously impressed, usually when I don't top coat a polish doesn't last long on me.. And these still lasted a good 4 days before I got any chips or tip wear. I'm impressed !! I'm so Fluffy is a gorgeous pastel peachy colour , and So Lucky is a gorgeous minty green pastel colour. Both look seriously stunning to brighten up any winter outfit . And as always  the best part - Essence polishes doesn't break the bank as it's SUPER affordable.  So onto the swatches -  I'm So Fluffy - So Lucky -  Have you tried any of the pastel range of polishes ? Which one is YOUR favourite colour of these two ? *This product/s was send to me in exchange for my honest opinion*

Hi guys ! Happy Friday ! Hope you all had a great week. My week was super busy, but eventful . As I mentioned on Wednesday post, my skin goes crazy in winter. It goes scaly and flaky so quickly ... And I REALLY hate it. So in winter time I try as much as I can to boost my skin with hydrating serums and masks. As always, Clicks has amazing specials from time to time , their 3 - 2 specials, and when I picked up some Sorbet skincare goodies, I decided to get some sachet masks from Sorbet. I usually get these masks when I travel or go on holiday (or when my skin needs a boost from time to time ) , as it contains a serum to apply first, and then a sheet mask (which looks scary the first ) and comes in this easy to use pouch . This time I got 3 different masks ( I usually just get the hydrating one , so keep an eye out for a review on the other two later the month ) As mentioned, this mask has a 2 step system. The top part has a serum, which you open and massage into your skin for abou...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday .  So I'm one of those unlucky people that suffer from drier skin in the winter ,and the cold weather and the combo of heaters at work doesn't help it along. My skin gets scaly blotchy and flaky (and I'm usually combination / oily skin in the summer ) and it gets super tight , to the point that it gets painful to even smile.  Along came this miracle in a bottle  - The Juliette Armand Multi B Vitamin Serum . This serum is SUPER hydrating, yet it doesn't have that greasy formula some hydrating products seem to have. The formula is super thin almost water like, absorbs quickly and a little really goes a long way . Within a few days my skin was back to normal. I use this serum twice a day before my moisturiser, and I can't rave enough about what an amazing serum this is, it bought back the nourishment my skin desperately needed.  This works... And that's from someone who buys every single hydrating product in winter. I won't b...
