Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy at Wednesday . How has your week been so far ? Mine has been quite busy- but at least that's a good thing.  I ordered these beauties a few weeks ago - and haven't put them down since. Let's be real - it was not like I needed another primer to add to my collection *rolls eyes* , and I decided I wanted to try their ColorTrend BB cream - I wanted something moisturising since I started using a Retinol serum that's making me have more normal to dry skin at this stage - but that's something for another post and decided to try this little gem from the range too.  The ColorTrend BB Cream all in One Beauty Balm for me personally is such an amazing product - I even pick to use this on days I'm working and not just off days. The coverage is light to medium depending on what beauty tool you use to apply it . A beauty blender will give you a lighter coverage than a brush. My favourite brush to apply it with currently is the Swiitch Beauty F40 Cake It B...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Everyone have a great weekend ? As winter is slowly approaching , our skin gets drier quicker - I know my cuticles get really dry with constant hand washing , the heaters being on in the office - and it being freezing most mornings. Today I will be sharing my Top 5 Cuticle Care products - because nothing ruins a manicure faster than dry crusty cuticles. Cuticle oils / creams also helps your manicure last better - as dry nails doesn't hold nail polish as well as hydrated nails.  I have mentioned some other ones I love in previous posts too ... But these are the 5 I am reaching for the most lately. Some are old favourites - and some new discoveries.  Essence Nair Care Serum I have mentioned it in THIS post from two weeks ago , and as you can see my bottle has been used a lot since then . I love popping this little bottle of serum into my work bag, and while taking a coffee break pop some onto my cuticles and ma...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ! RetailBox  launched another of their awesome SecretBoxes about two weeks ago - and I was lucky enough to get a box - these babies sold out very quickly and with good reason . The RetailBox Secret Boxes are worth their weight in gold. The boxes include salon quality haircare products - at a really good price - and Box 24 was no different.  The box retailed for R299 - but included 3 full sized L'Anza ColorCare products valued at a whopping R1050 ! That's a great bargain for a great range. I have been using the products for about two weeks now too , and so far I'm really impressed - I am including a mini review on each product down below. A little background on my hair - I have coloured hair , that tends to get greasy at the roots very quickly.  L'Anza ColorCare Shampoo 300 ml - R330 "L'Anza Healing Colour Care Shampoo will ensure your hair colour is extended 107% longer. It's mild formula is gentle on the hair and del...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Hope you had a great weekend . Mine was FREEZING cold. The cold rainy weather in Johannesburg was actually a nice change for me - I love cold weather. As I mentioned last week, I got a few products from the new range releases a few weeks back. While it was tempting to just get everything - I was pretty good at restraining myself and only picked what I needed (or was most excited to try ) . As these are all permanent items to the range - there's no need to rush out and buy them all in one go.  Essence Mosaic Blush Miss Floral Coral R57,95 So let's be real ... Lynette really didn't need anymore blush. I'm pretty sure I have enough blush to last me a lifetime (or two ). These mosaic blushes are sooooo gorgeous. There's a total of 4 colours in the range - and while I wanted to super pink one, I decided that I have more than enough pink blushes and decided on this gorgeous coral one instead. These blushes are SUPER pigmented. W...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was nice and relaxing. Had a great Mother's Day weekend with Alex . Essence recently came out with a million new releases ( I will be sharing some of the new make-up releases later this week too ) and I couldn't wait to pick up a few of the new products to test out and review for you guys. This isn't even half of the new goodies they have, just a little taste of the products I picked up.  (Some of the products were PR samples I received a few months back too ) Essence Studio Nails Triple Care * R34,95 This is a great treatment that aims to repair , strenghten and care for your nails. So far I really like to use this treatment as a base coat before I apply my polish . It's really a great budget friendly nail treatment. Essence Studio Nails Pro White Care R34,95 This is the treatment I can see myself reaching for most over winter time. This treatment claims to help whiten your nails , which i...
