New On My Beauty Desk


Hi guys . Happy Friday - I'm still currently on holiday in Durban  - but I will be back in full swing next week with regular scheduled posts. How was your week ? I'm soaking up some sun and enjoying time on the beach before I head back home to icy Johannesburg. 

Today I will be sharing another What's New On My Beauty Desk post. I will be giving a little mini update in two weeks on some more of the products I've been testing lately and sharing my thoughts on them .

Essence My Must Have Eyeshadows I mentioned my love for the eyeshadows HERE - and I know many people don't really like these eyeshadows - but I picked up 4 new shades ( the purple one I have mentioned earlier - so it's not that new new but since I got a new palette for them I am including it ) . The four colours I picked this round is 09 Chilli Vanilli (vanilla colour ) , 14 Purple Clouds , 03 Miss Foxy Roxy and 07 /mauvie- Time ! I already hit pan while on holiday on Essence All I Need single eyeshadow. So far these are pigmented and last on my eyes all day. I know there are a few colours that are misses in this collection but so far I'm pretty impressed with these 4 too. 


Justine Smooth Velvet Cream to Powder Foundation SPF 15 (Shade Ivory )
I have tried this foundation once before leaving on vacation - and I really loved the velvet finish . I will test it out a little more once I'm back and give a full review on the foundation - but after one wear I was pretty impressed. 

Avon True Colour Flawless Cream To Powder Foundation (Shade Nude )
It's no secret that I mostly love all Avon products - I haven't tried this foundation yet - but I will in the next few days and give a full review on this too. I never use the sponges included in the compact - as I prefer my beauty sponge or make-up buffer brush for make-up application. 
Catrice Prime and Fine Professional Contouring Palette in Ashy Radiance
Okay , so I don't have a lot of Catrice products - but when I saw this recently when I was getting a few goodies from the Red Square store - I knew I wanted to try it. The contour shade is a nice cool toned colour on me - and the highlight shade is perfect for everyday wear. I don't like blinding highlights - so this set for me is perfect . 
Justine Luxe Silken Pressed Powder (Light Silk )
This powder looks and feels really luxuries . I can't wait to start using this soon. The Gold compact looks really elegant - making you feel fancy doing a touch up on the go. The mirror in the compact is also a pretty decent size.
Essence 2 in 1 Eyeshadow Primer 
This is suppose to be a cream eyeshadow colour and a primer. I have been eyeing this for quite a bit and decided to try it out since I love the Essence I love Stage eyeshadow primer. So far it's really creamy and easy to blend and makes your eyeshadow stay the day . I do still prefer the Essence I love Stage one a little bit more - but I will report back in the update and mention if I still feel that way .
Revlon Age Defying Firming and Lifting Make-Up (Shade Bare Buff )
Because it's not like I have enough foundations right ? I love Revlon foundations - and I have used this formula and done a review way back in the day - and I decided to pick this up in the Red Square sale. 
Revlon Nail Polish in 009 Copper glaze Platinum and 054 Sheer Snowflake
I will share swatches of these soon in my favourite Winter nail colours post later this month - but these are both gorgeous winter themed shades . 

Avon True Colour Perfectly Matte Lipstick in Shades Wild Cherry , Superb Wine and Red Supreme
These are all gorgeous winter shades . I will be swatching and dedicating a post to these beauties soon too. But if you follow me on Social Media I have tried a different colour in my SampleSunday series and loved it. 

So that's for all the bobs and bits - I have some new skincare on my beauty desk too that I bought at the Clicks sale - as well as an awesome Lush haul I will share on the blog soon too. 

How was YOUR week ? Any exciting plans for the weekend ??

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
