Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday . Anyone else glad it's a super short week this week ? I am recovering from a cold this weekend, not the best way to start a week though.  I Today I'm sharing some Essence Liquid Lipsticks with you . Last year Essence was kind enough to send me a press pack, and two of these shades were included, Around the same time I placed an online order with Red Square and also picked one up . (That one is my favourite shade - Colour Party) , These lipsticks aren't matte or long lasting like most liquid lipsticks. These really feel like a lipstick melted down - but they are super moisturising. These are a little sticky like lipglosses but nothing super annoying, these are quite comfortable to wear. . They last a good 2/3 hours on me and even when the colour has faded it still has a moisturising feeling on the lips - which for the price makes it worth while to check out. These retail for around R49,95 at Essence counters.  I quite like the thin doe

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday ? How has your week been so far ? Today I'm sharing a few swatches and my review on the Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipsticks. There are 12 shades in the range that are broken into three tones - Light , Light - Medium and Medium. The colour range consists of Pink , Berry , Nude and Red for each skin tone. As you know, I love the Revlon Lip Butters , so I was excited to try these out and see how they go. The packaging is quite similar , but these are a little more balmy and shiny than the Revlon Lip Butters. These are a hybrid of a tinted lip balm and a lipstick - these are quite hydrating , and while they are a little more sheer than a lipstick , they have a great colour pay-off.  And unlike the Revlon Lip Butters that basically melt on you when it's super hot (trust me since I love them that happens to me quite often ) these doesn't seem to have that problem . Making it a bonus for keeping it in your handbag or car.  I have three colours

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week so far. Sorry for being so quiet , the last week I have been feeling a little under the weather . As I mentioned on Instagram last week, I have started the Nimue & Rubybox skincare challenge. I was still testing out different skincare in February so even though I received this little kit earlier, I wanted to form an opinion about a different product I was testing out first.  I did the little quiz on the Nimue app , and the app suggested I use the Interactive skincare range from Nimue. ( I was actually pretty sure it would be more of the problematic skincare range as I mentioned my skin has been freaking out lately and I'm not sure if it's stress related or me turning 30 end of the month )  Now here comes the tricky part - as I wanted to see how the range preforms , I won't be using ANY other skincare products or swapping out anything for one of my normal products. ( I will however still be using my Garnier Micellar W
