October #SampleSunday rundown

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Did you enjoy your Halloween if you celebrated ? If you follow me on any of my social media channels , you know I started a new series with a mini review on product samples or magazine freebies I have. I usually just tossed mine into a box to try out one day - and I decided why not start using them weekly and give a little mini review each Sunday morning.  I decided to do a monthly rundown on the blog too on those products and share my mini reviews here if you don't follow me anywhere else.  I will have a little rating system here on the blog - I will be giving each product a rating out of 5 in lipstick (  ) form.  So let's see what samples I tried this month : Week 1   (   ) The first sample product is this Hask Keratin Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner combo sachets. I got about 2 uses out of the shampoo and conditioner. The combo does an amazing job to make your hair smooth without weighing it down. Wee

Woolworths JTOne Pretty Paint in #Princess and #MintyFresh

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . I've been recovering from a bout of food poisoning after the weekend , so I'm only coming round to blogging again today. How has your week been so far ? Hopefully a lot better. A little while back Woolworths had a beauty sale , and I decided to pick up a few goodies to try out. I got two of the JTOne polishes as well as the Woolworths Setting Spray. The polishes are pretty affordable and has a great range of colours - and for a change I decided to pick something besides a nude to try. I got two of the more pastel colours in the range - a minty green and a light pink - the colours are GORGEOUS and totally spring appropriate. So onto the two colours I got. JTOne #MintyFresh Pretty Paint I'm always a fan of gorgeous minty polishes that has the perfect colour - I don't like too green minty polishes but also not minty polishes that border too close to a white polish. This is the perfect mix. I used two coats to get it fully opaque - and

They have such amazing brooches this year you can buy to support the cause - and let's be real who can't do with a pretty brooch for a great cause ??  As I always try to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness causes  , I did a matching mani to show my support. There is also quiet a few brands that bring out a "PINK" version of products and donate a percentage to Breast Cancer Awareness causes, if you can try and support them.  If you would like some more info on PinkDrive , I'm including all their social media links : http://www.pinkdrive.co.za https://www.facebook.com/ ThePinkDrive So onto my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani for 2016 -  For this mani I used : Woo
