Impulse True Love Make- Up Inspired Look

Hi guys . Happy Friday . Who else is excited it's weekend ? I had such a busy but fun and exciting week .  Earlier this month I got some awesome Impulse fragrances from Rubybox with these pretty pastel make-up brushes - with a challenge to create a few fun make-up looks inspired by either Impulse True Love or Impulse Paris. I have a make-up look ready for both fragrances - but today I will share a little more on the Impulse True Love scent as well as my date night inspired make-up look. Impulse True Love has such a soft girly scent - perfect for going out on a special date - be it dinner and a movie - coffee and chilling at home or a romantic dinner. The fragrance has notes of freesias , muguet and amber, The scent isn't overpowering strong - I feel this is such a perfect scent for everyday .

Snow Themed Winter Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? Mine was pretty chill - I think I might have had a super quiet weekend - but I really enjoyed all the chill time.  Today I have another fun mani to share with you guys. I have 1more  BornPrettyStore  plate to use and share - and I saved this to use in the cooler months here . I really love how easy these plates are to pick up the designs - as I mentioned I do have a MoYou plates but they are much harder to pick up the images. The images picks up flawlessly and all look pretty amazing ( I will share some stamping images at the end of the post ) . The link to the plate is  HERE .  The colours I used : Essence White on White China Glaze Fairy Dust Essence All That Greys Back To Black  So onto the nail look -  And some stamping swatches - so you can get a feel for the plate : I really love the plates - these are pretty easy to use and I would 100% would recommend these plates - they are pretty aw

Beautiful Earth Headache Relief

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend. I had a nice relaxing Mother's Day weekend - and all the rainy chilly weather here in Johannesburg made it the perfect weekend to stay in and watch movies with my little guy. As I mentioned in the Beautiful Earth Bath oil post , the company was kind enough to send me two full sized products to try out too. I feel somehow the picked the perfect products from their range for me to try out. Not a lot of people know this - but I suffer from headaches at least once or twice a week. Especially more in warmer weather.  So when a natural (non pill popping) product comes into my life I'm always willing to try it out.  Again - one of the main things (except being Proudly South African) that impresses me from Beautiful Earth  products is they are cruelty free and all their products are vegan too.  I carry this little roller in my work bag and around with me at home. This helps amazingly well when I feel a headache starting - I use the roll

New On My Beauty Desk

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . How was your week ? Any exciting plans to spoil your Mom on Mothers day ? Today I'm sharing a few new beauty goodies I picked up in the last two weeks that I will be trying out. I won't give a full review today - if something catches your eyes and you would like a full review - please let me know.  Some products I have tried out a few times , but some I haven't even opened yet - so as I mentioned I won't be doing a full review on anything today.  Skin Republic Brightening Vitamin C & Platinum Lift Sheet Masks I have tried MANY other sheet masks from this brand - but this will be the first time I will be trying these two variants. I'm looking into using more brightening and firming sheet masks lately - and I'm sure I will love these as I love most of the others in the range. LA Girl Pro Coverage HD High Definition Long Wearing Illuminating Foundation in White As it's pretty obvious - this shade won't match me ev

My Picks from the Essence Range Updates

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday - how has your week been so far ? Mine has been pretty good so far . Essence did a whole new range update in April - new lipglosses , eyeshadows , mascaras - single eyeshadows , nail polishes , nail treatments , palettes - you name it they have it. While it was extremely tempting to grab everything to try out - I tried to be modest with my picks and only got a few of the new products to try out. Now keep in mind I will most likely be picking up some more goodies in the next few months and review them here too.  Essence Growth Boosting Drops - R39,95 As I mentioned in my April Favourites post - these Growth boosting drops came into my life at the right time. My nails are extremely dry and weak after a hectic strong dose of cortisone to get better in March - and my nails ended up looking horrible. So far this impressed me and I use it daily by massaging into my cuticles and nails . This is a thin serum-y type balm It's also pretty affor

April Favourites

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?Mine was pretty chill and relaxing with too much good food and chilling - so in other words the perfect weekend.  Today I will be sharing my monthly favourites with you guys. There isn't too much picks - as I mostly sticked with these products for most of the month .  So let's jump into the favourites :  Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water As I mentioned  HERE  - this is one of the most treasured skincare products in my routine. So much that I;m on my second big bottle already . I use this for mostly everything and anything. I use it after washing my face as a toner , make-up setting spray , after gym , on Alex's face after his sport practise at school - the possibilities are endless. I already re-purchased my third big bottle - and I can see this being in my favourites for many months to come.  Revlon Colorstay Make0-up for Normal / Dry Skin in Nude I've mentioned it in a post  HERE  - but this has been my mos
