Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?  A little while back I picked up tons of new nail polishes to try and review on the blog - and since my mom is searching for the best wear time nail polish - I was excited to pick this baby up to give a try . Clicks had a special on the combo pack - R189 for the colour polish and top coat - and since they usually retail for around R120 each , I decided to give this kit a try . They don't have such a huge range of colours in the combo kits - mine had a hot pink , a red and this gorgeous nude colour - and of course being me I had to try the nude out. And nude colours are perfect for me for work / going out as I feel it's neutral and you can never go wrong with a good neutral. It's recommended you wear the polish without a base coat - I always wear a base coat but decided I wanted to try it out as is for the wear test . On clean dry nails you apply two coats of the colour (The colour wasn't quite opaque with just two co

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . Hope you had a great week. Who else are excited for the weekend ? I know I am. A little while back Essence sent me an amazing little PR package including this gorgeous foundation - the same day I decided to get myself a shade lighter at Dischem too. (Which was a good call - as the shade I was sent will be perfect for summer - but it's a tad too dark for winter.)  I love this foundation - the formula is lightweight but it does cover imperfections without being heavy or cakey. Application is great with a brush or beauty blender or make-up sponge - both give a smooth finish. I prefer this foundation WITHOUT primer - and even though my skin is not as oily as it always was and it being winter which makes my skin super dehydrated -  doesn't dry out my skin at all or cause breakouts. So does it keep me matt ? Yes it does. As I mentioned in a few foundation posts - I apply my make-up pretty early in the morning - and after a full day of work my foundati

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. Did everyone have a great weekend ?? If you follow me on  Instagram  you would have seen my little Lush haul a while back. I'm a huge fan of Lush products - and with good reason . The smell amazing - and make you feel like a million dollars.  I saw another local blogger  Green Lydia  mention this as one of her travel favourites and rushes to my computer to order this online from Lush (I really wish there was a Lush closer to me ... But for now I'm more than happy with shopping online ) and knew I needed it. It was just my luck as this scent was finally back in stock ( I wanted to try it a few weeks earlier ) and ordered it . As I have mentioned quite a few times here on the blog - I'm extremely sensitive so scents. I am one of those weird people that will break out in hives or get extremely itchy skin if I can't tolerate the smell . I know I love Vanilla scents - from coffee to candles I knew the chances of actually being okay with this p

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was pretty chill for a change.  Today I'm sharing swatches of the new Limited Edition Essence All That Greys nail polish collection. I recently found the fully stocked collection at my Clicks - and since I decided to try them all and share them here on the blog - because let's be real - I love grey nail polish . And let's be real - grey nail polish is like nude nail polish - always in style.  This collection is currently available at all Clicks and Dis-Chem stores and retail for R39,95 each.  This collection consists of 5 nail polishes - all of them gorgeous and all perfect for winter. Essence 04 Girl With A Pearl So if you been reading my blog for a while you know what a fan I am of nude nail polishes- and this one is no exception. This polish formula is flawless and perfect and is a gorgeous cool toned nude polish - I can see this becoming a favourite of mine.  I used two coats in the swatch below
