April Sample Sunday Rundown

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How is your long weekend so far ? I was one of the unlucky ones that still had to work on Friday and Saturday , but I'm enjoying spending some extra time with my kiddo and family  .

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.  So without too much chit chat let's jump into the products - 


Today's #SampleSunday is the Benefit Gimme Brow- a brow volumizing fiber gel. I already love the Benifit Ka-Brow so I was excited to try this out. This brush in fiber gel adheres to the skin and brow hairs for fuller looking brows. The brush is super small so its easy to use and very user friendly. While I love sculpting my brows with the Ka-Brow this comes in very very handy for days when I need to get ready quickly or a minimal make-up day so will mostly stock up on this next time I order from Red Square ,






Today's #SampleSunday is the @beautifulearthza Facial Cleanser. This cleanser smells so citrusy and fresh - but in combination of smelling amazing it does a great job of cleansing your skin without being drying. This cleanse has decongesting benefits of Mandarin and Grapefruit essential oil as they gently clean your skin. Antioxidants from Grapefruit and Evening Primrose Oils, combined with conditioning Kigelia and Aloe Vera, work to remove impurities, leaving skin balanced and deeply cleansed. I will be buying the full size of this amazing product once I get home from holiday. Two more awesome facts about @beautifulearthza - they are cruelty free & Proudly South African .

Today's  #SampleSunday is the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil. This brow pencil has a pointed end that defines as well as a wide tip that instantly fills brows. While I love Benefit brow products- I didn't find this one mind blowing amazing. The pencil feels a little wide for my liking. If you love using pencil brow products- You might love this one. I will rather stick to the Ka-Brow and Gimme Brow products for myself personally.




Today's #SampleSunday is Avon Rare Amethyst Eau de Parfum. This is such a sophisticated and sensual perfume with notes of passionate plum and mysterious voilet and rich sandalwood. This is such a sexy scent- perfect for a date night. I already own the full size and this is my go to scent. The scent lasts on my skin for a good 7/8 hours too. I love how this is such an amazing perfume but still budget friendly.



I really enjoyed testing out this month's products  - do you like getting samples to test out too ?

Remember to give me a follow if you would like to stay updated with me and get a better glimpse of my life  :


I hope you will have a great week ahead - anyone have any exciting plans for today ?

Farm Animals Friday !

Hi guys ! Can't believe its Friday already ! First off, happy birthday to my brother, hope you have a fantastic birthday today ♥ So Tip Top's facebook page, has been running weekly nail art theme competitions. This week's theme is FARM ANIMALS. Well, usually I don't enter these nail art competitions, but since my little man loves farm animals , I decided to give it a go . :) (I also bummed some of his farm animal toys and books as decoration... Hee hee hee ) The rules are you have to use Tip Top colours... So first off let me mention all the colours I used creating these cute farm animals : French Manicure White, Cream Puff, Peach Crisp, Sherbet Angel, Melting Marshmallow, Lemon Fuel, Black Forest , Twilight and Sexy Bikini ♥ So here follows all the cute pics (sorry this post is a little picture heavy ...)   A cow, a piggy, a cow, a duck and a sheep ♥ I just LOVE these cute farm animals don't you ?? My favourite of

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
