My picks from the Essence Wake Up , Spring ! Range

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.
 

The Blush can be folded up to reveal an integrated mirror - which is pretty cool and can make touch ups on the go pretty easy.  The colour isn't too pigmented - making it easier for beginners but is pretty buildable .


Essence Wake Up, Spring Blush Brush
Honestly - I didn't buy it to use for blush. The brush is pretty narrow with synthetic bristles - but is perfectly shaped for contouring. This was the main reason I got the brush (that and it's pretty cute too.) So far I love it to use for contouring or bronzer .

Essence Wake Up , Spring Eyeshadow Palette in Spring It Up !
Another goody I'm always looking forward to with every new Essence Limited Edition collection is usually the eyeshadow palettes . The quality is always nice and buttery and they make great add ones into your make-up collection. I love how small and travel friendly these palettes are.

The collection consists of four shimmery pink shades and a silver / white shade that can be used for a highlighter. I love how soft and springtime appropriate this collection looks and feels. As always - this is such a nifty palette . I don't usually stray from nudey toned eyeshadow - but I got this palette to swatch and then gift to my mom as she LOVES every single Essence limited edition palette - and this one is no different.


The collection does include some fun eyeliner pens , highlighter pen , lip balm , lipstick pens , a few cool nail and nailpolish related goodies too. These where the ones that caught my eye though.

Did you get anything from this collection ?? What's your favourite product to pick up from Essence Limited Edition ranges ??

  1. I got the two lipsticks and I live them. The palette's pigmentation is a bit too light for my liking.

    1. Yes , I can imagine it being to light for my skin tone - luckily my mom has a much deeper more tan skintone so it looks amazing on her. #palegirlproblems

  2. I also picked up the blush and I quite liked it, except when I realised it's luminous and I have a bit of texture, so I still need to see if it can work on my skin.

    That brush is super cute!

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
