May Favourites

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . How has YOUR week been ?

Today I will be sharing my monthly favourites with you guys. There isn't too much picks - as I mostly kept to these products for most of the month - some of my favourites from April were still firm favourites - but to not sound too repetitive I tried not to mention the eyeshadows and Avon lipgloss again. (Although I still wore them most of the month )
So let's jump into the favourites :


Essence Shine Shine Shine Lipgloss in Bright On ( nude) and Smile , Sparkle & Shine. 
As I mentioned last month - I was testing out some lipglosses and only mentioned the one - this month I'm mentioning these two gems. I rarely wear lipsticks in the last few months - and I blame it on finding some AMAZING hydrating lipglosses. Both glosses I got are from the Prisma Glow range The pink one has the most gorgeous blue toned shift that makes your teeth look whiter and your lips look plumper. The nude one goes with almost anything - and leaves your lips hydrated and smooth - and again looking plumper and healthier.
Carmien Revive Green Rooibos , Ginger & Chilli Tea
This might come as a HUGE shocker - as everyone that follows me or knows me know I LOVE coffee. If I could marry coffee - I would. But since picking up this tea - I fell in love. I have a few teas from the Carmien range - but this is hands down my favourite for cold and flu season. When my throat is sore or feeling scratchy - I make myself a cup of this tea and I do feel it helps me . The tea is a bit spicy - which I love .
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy All Or Nothing & Cardshark polishes
Okay , I have a serious obsession with these gel nail polishes for the last few months - but May mostly consisted of me changing out these two colours . These polishes wear quite well on me and I get about 6/7 days of wear out of them - which for me at this stage is awesome. I HATE doing my nails when the weather gets colder . I feel the polishes really flatter my skin tone - and is just an all round awesome product for me.
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 third 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  - and I can see this being in my favourites for many months to come.
Avon Footworks Marine Foot Balm 
Most evening before bed I use this amazing foot balm, pop on some socks and wake up with amazingly soft smooth feet. I know with the colder months here in South Africa we tend to skip this until Spring and Summer time - but I want soft feet year round (who wouldn't ? ) . This balm is enriched with mineral rich sea salts - making sure your feet will be SUPER hydrated all year round. 






And that's all my monthly favourites for May, what was one of your favourite products for the month ?

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
