New On My Beauty Desk


Hi guys . Happy Monday . How was YOUR weekend ??

Today I'm sharing some more new beauty goodies I picked up in the last two / three weeks that I will be trying out. I won't be giving a full review today - so if something catches your eye in this post and you would like a full review please let me know. 

Some products I have tried out a few times , but some I just opened.  So onto the products I will be sharing today

innisfree Sheet Masks in Black Berry , Shea Butter & Tea Tree
As you know I LOVE sheet masks - so I'm always open to try new brands. These ones are from a Korean brand. I bought mine from EyeSeeHueMakeUp and they retail for about R25 each. Which is pretty affordable. I like using sheetmasks about 2/3 times a week for a boost and a treat in my skincare routine. They have a few different varieties on the site - so I might pick up a few more before my July holiday. 

Skin Strategy Rejuvenating Face Mask
Did I mention I love sheet masks ?I love buying the Skin Strategy range in bulk at Dischem but decided to try out a different one from the Soothing and Calming one I usually pick up. This includes a two step routine - first sheet mask - after the time wipe off the serum and apply the Ceramides with Biogold cream. I have used this mask once already - I totally forgot to wipe off the serum afterwards - and because of the fruit acids it did sting a little the next day. That was totally user error on my part. This mask is cut longer to cover the neck - but it makes it a bit awkward as you HAVE to lie down them. I can't say I love these masks - but hopefully with a little trial and error I will make them work next time. 

Yardley Absolute Translucent Loose Powder for All Skin Tones
Le sigh. You know how you sometimes run out of your favourite powder and then insist to buy seven others to see what else there is - just to realise how much you love that product in the first place ? This powder is absolute perfection for me - it helps set my make-up but doesn't dry out my skin or look cakey or powdery. I remember why I love this product so much - and I won't stray from this holy grail product ever again.
Dove Invisible Dry & Original Deodorants
I was sent these by Rubybox to test out and review on the blog . I haven't tried them yet - but I feel excited to try them. I wear darker clothes quite often - and I love the current one I use as it doesn't leave white marks on my clothes at all. I'm excited and nervous to try these and will report back on the range and the new improved formula soon.
Revlon Blushes in Orchid Charm , Nude Kiss & Berry Kiss Cream Blush
I was scent these blushes for my Winter Essentials posts I will be doing - so I will be playing with these cream blushes and powder blush and see how they preform. So warm I'm loving the cream sticks - they make blending blush so super easy and quick. My favourite colour (which is a surprise to me ) is the nude toned blush called Nude Kiss. 
Essence Liquid Lipstick in Almost Real
I have reviewed the range HERE but this was included as a magazine freebie and this is a new colour for me. (It's also featured as the #SampleSunday post of Sunday if you missed it ). I picked up the colour Colour Party too - but since it was one of the colours I reviewed in the first post I won't be mentioning it again. again - These are SUPER hydrating - although they don't last long they are pretty affordable. 

These are some of the new items I picked up - anything you would love a review on ? I will have a separate Clicks haul soon too - so keep an eye out for that .

  11. Fashion and design partnerships are one of the strongest opportunities being leveraged by brands to market products to those cutting edge trendsetters and influencers that closely follow - and lead - today's fashion trends. Fashion partnerships result in an enhanced image and an overall sense of innovation and Eyelash Extensions to the brand. These partnerships are typically different enough to break through the clutter, gain consumer interest, attract press, and generate consumer buzz.

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
