Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . A little earlier in the month - while browsing Instagram - I spotted LatherMeUp - and I was excited to try out the products and test them out for myself . (My honest reason was spotting that Owl Coffee Massage bar - because I love owls and Coffee ) . If you follow me on social media - you might have spotted that I already use and love the Lush Coffee Massage bar - so I was very excited to order some goodies to try. She currently has 4 massage bars in her range and I picked up two of them . I suffer from an extremely sore neck from time to time - and stress and a busy lifestyle does make it worse sadly. So I love using massage bars to ease the tension a bit. Gliding Bean Massage Bar (R45 ) This was my number one reason for ordering. Because Owls ... And Coffee. I haven't used this one yet as I can't bring myself to ruin the little owl- but it smells incredible yummy. Honey Bear Massage Bar (R40) This massage bar is shaped into a cute...

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I am sharing my picks from the Essence Wake Up , Spring ! Range. As always this collection was another gorgeous limited edition collection - and I was happy when I saw my Clicks was still pretty fully stocked. This time round though - the nailpolishes didn't intrigue me at all - but I will be sharing the three items I did decide to pick up. Essence Wake Up , Spring Blush in Hello Sunshine ! There is apparently two blushes in the range , but my Clicks only had one. Again - did Lynette need another Blush in her life ? No. Did Lynette buy said blush in any case - Yes ! This blush was a little less pigmented than I hoped - but it's a nice gorgeous subtle everyday colour. I don't gravitate to peachy blushes in Winter - so I haven't used this one too much - but this will look stunning when the weather warms up.   T he Blush can be folded up to reveal an integrated mirror - which is pretty cool and can make to...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How has YOUR week been so far ? Mine has been pretty busy - and full of testing some awesome new products to review for you guys. Today I'm doing another quick review on the Avon Black Suede Night - one of their new Men Fragrance Releases. I was sent this Eau DE Toilette by Manbox to review a little while back and I'm finally getting to post it now. I got a little help from a guy friend to review this new scent FOR YOU GUYS. Avon Black Suede Night description : Make every after-dark encounter unforgettable with this intoxicating blend of zesty bergamot, aromatic nutmeg and rich black amber. The scent can be described as very old school , elegant and manly scent but still smells fashionable and has a modern twist on - it can be described as such a clean , sweet yet spicy scent. The scent has a pretty decent wear time and lasts most of the day on the skin - which is a bonus for guys that want to smell clean and fresh but doesn't hav...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday. Hope you are having a great week so far. Today I have a bit of a lifestyle post for you guys - and it is all about food. Yum ! A little while ago I discovered a great company called GutsyGreen  that delivered all the ingredients to make amazing meals at home . The site is pretty fool proof - you decide on the package you need ( I got the one for 4 people ) and the meals you would like. You can pick the ones that's recommended according to your dietary preferences or pick the ones you would like to try. In my case I picked three meals . They have different options so the choices are endless. What I love most is YOU get to pick what you would like to eat based on any lifestyle preferences. They have classic meals , vegetarian and low carb meals. The ingredients gets delivered in the exact pre-portioned fresh ingredients on Mondays - and the recipes are pretty easy to use and make. You can also choose to skip a week .. and decide when YOU wa...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ? A little while ago REN was kind enough to send me their latest product launching today - The REN Flash Hydro Boost - which is a water based hydration booster. I have dehydrated skin - so I always love to bring hydrating products into my routine. I'm really a skincare junkie - and for good reason. I love using great skincare products and can create such a great canvas for any make-up you want to add to your routine.  This product has such an unique texture . It applies like a cream - and then you add a little bit of water to wet your fingertips and massage into the skin. The product absorbs pretty quickly and does make my skin look plumper , smoother and a lot more hydrated. The Hydro - Boost helps your skin lock in the moisture. I have been using this in the evening (and even sometimes in the morning if I need the extra hydration) and I have noticed a huge difference in my skin - it's definitely more ...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. Today is FREEZING - I'm on my third cup of coffee for the day already . How was your week ? Any fun weekend plans ? Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited to try out the new Inoar Hair Botox treatment at Sorbet Dunkeld . As I mentioned before I love the Inoar Absolute Blond range so I was excited to try this treatment - as my hair can always do with a boost. I take great pride in looking after my hair and trying to keep it in tip top condition - especially taking extra steps since going blonder. So ... What is the Inoar Hair Botox treatment ? This is a hair treatment containing fatty acids , argon oil , Shea butter , hydrolysed keratin and grape extract . The treatment is rich in Vitamin A , C and E which will help protect your hair . It's also rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals.  The treatment is pretty easy and not too time consuming - Your hair gets washed, the treatment applied for 30 minutes and then rinsed out.  ...

Hi guys . Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? My weekend was pretty chill - I tested out the ? Inoar Hair Botox treatment and will be giving you guys a full review later this week.  Today I'm sharing some new goodies on my beauty desk. This isn't everything I got - some products I kept aside for specific posts . This month I got a mixture of some new goodies to play with - I haven't had a chance to play with everything yet - but will most likely test out the rest over the next week or so. If there is anything you'd like a full review on - feel free to let me know. So let's jump into the products.  Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-1 Foundation and Concealer in Creamy Vanilla When  Milani SA  launched I was really excited to pick up this foundation. This was the top item on my wish list to try . The foundation was pretty decently priced (At R150 ) and free delivery for August. Bargain ! I have used this foundation for a week now and I can't see myself put...

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? I totally skipped June favourites last month - as June was such a crazy busy month . I don't have too many favourites this month - as I didn't want to repeat most from last month - so I'm including all the newer favourites and sharing them with you guys today . But first let's hop into the non beauty related favourites . July was a much better month though - and even included a little getaway with the family to the beach .  That definitely was one of the magical moments of the month - a much needed getaway with my kiddo. Even though it was Winter - we had the most amazing weather for the whole week- perfect for spending most of the day at the beach relaxing.  While on holiday (and actually while shopping at Lush ) Tanya suggested I have to try Wicked Donuts. I'm so bummed we don't have one close to us but I think that's a good thing - and I'm sure my waistline would agree. I had the most awe...
