Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . How has your week been so far ? On Monday I turned 31 - and I celebrated by still being sick and without a voice. Luckily I'm finally slowly recovering from Laryngitis - so I hope to be posting a lot more . If you don't know - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  It's always fun for me to "test" a product and give my first impressions on it. Some samples I do get quite a few uses out of - and I got some awesome samples to share with you guys in April & May. So without to much chit chat - let's jump into March samples I tested out - Today #SampleSunday is the Clarins Everlasting Foundation. I bought the full size before the sample - and I wish I tried a sample first. This foundation wore okay, but I wasn't overly impressed with it especially since it's a pricey foundation. I have other foundations I love a lot more a...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . How has your week been ? I'm still super sick - which sucks - I'm hoping to be better by my birthday next week.  Oriental beauty express! Let essence take you on an exciting journey into the world of 1001 Arabian Nights with the new trend edition “lights of orient” from March 2017 and dive into the oriental culture. The pulsating bustle around the souks, desert landscapes with magnificent Bedouin tents and the temperamental rhythm of the belly dancers – the unique flair fascinates all visitors. And the oriental look with deep black eyeliner and golden highlights is also impressive. The colour scheme of this bronzing edition is as warm as the Arabian sun with cream, gold, copper and various nuances of red. There are many treasures just waiting to be discovered, including a beautiful bronzer in an oriental design with a matt bronzing texture and shimmering golden powder in the centre. The matt lipsticks in trendy oxblood as well as two additi...

Hi guys ! Happy Saturday . I know I don't normally post on weekends - but I've been so sick this week I didn't even come too close to my laptop at night to type a post . I was lucky enough to be one of the selected  RubyBox  bloggers to try the Av ène Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray. I have seen it in Clicks before - but I haven't tried it yet as I though - it's just water right ? Why would I buy a special water to spray on my skin ? Boy oh boy I will admit I was as wrong as can be.  As I mentioned earlier in this post - Johannesburg has some crazy weather lately - it was cold and raining the one week (which I'm pretty sure is the reason for me being so crazy sick ) - and then back to super duper hot temperatures the next . I think this was one of the main reasons I have been struggling so much with my skin the last few weeks too . My skin wasn't too happy with me. When I got the parcel with the  spray I was intrigued to try it out. I mean I ALWAYS ...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ? How was your weekend ? Ready to tackle the new week ? Avon updated and re-branded some of their make-up under the Mark range that promises loud colour, trendy items , high on impact and big on inspiration.  I love the new packaging - the black and white is very eye catching and makes you feel fancy using the items - which is a bonus since they are pretty affordable and awesome. As I got these myself - I chose colours I could see myself reaching for everyday - and I prefer some more neutrals for work mostly.  The three products I chose to try from the new range - Mark 3D Plumping Lipstick in Mad for Mauve (swoon I really love this colour ) Mark The Bold Lipstick in Bare Impact  Mark Glossy Tube Lip Gloss in Naturally Nude Mark 3D Plumping Lipstick in Mad for Mauve : These lipsticks claim to give you plumper firmer lips with 100% instant moisture.  I can't say that this lipstick plumped my lips - but then again I'...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday !

If you don't know - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  So without too much chit chat - let's jump into them January & February samples : Chloe Eau de Parfum  (     ) I'm back with my first  #SampleSunday  for the year.
