Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ? How was your Heritage day and long weekend if you had one? I still worked on Saturday and I usually have Monday's off - but I enjoyed the little bit of extra time with the kiddo.  A little while back Revlon send me a cute Press Pack with the new Revlon Youth FX line of products. The range includes a forehead primer , foundation , concealer and face and neck primer.  "Revlon Youth FX range of anti-ageing products that dramatically transform the look of lines and wrinkles. Developed with filling and blurring technology, all four products in the range contain a unique combination of soft focus powders that scatter light, blurring imperfections, while micro-spheres fill in wrinkles, making them less visible. Each product works in unison with the others, to ensure you look your very youthful best." I'm 31 , and I love focusing on Anti Ageing products now. I was really excited I was sent the range to try as I love Revlon products - and...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How has YOUR week been ?? Mine has been pretty crazy busy - but I'm sure next week everything will be back to normal again.  Today I'm sharing a highly anticipated  post with you guys - I got so many requests on Instagram to show off these lippies with swatches as quickly as possible. So without let's jump right into the swatches and a little more about the formula. Avon send me four of the shades to try out but I bought two more to share with you guys.  These lippies smells amazing. They have a faint fruity scent - which I love. The formula is nice and mouse and applies easily.  I love how the applicator is nice and pointed making doing your cupid's bow super easy. The formula is nice and matte but doesn't dry out your lips - it leaves your lips pretty comfortable. These lippies does transfer a teeny tiny bit - so you will notice it leaving marks on your coffee cup during the day. It won't survive a greasy lunch though- then again I...

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far ? Mine has been incredibly busy at work- I'm pretty sure this time of year everyone feels like that.  Last week Monday Glamore Cosmetics launched a new eye shadow palette -  Insanely Romantic Eyeshadow Palette . This 8 piece eye shadow palette consists of 5 pigmented metallic shimmers including some Plum shades ,a Green and Champagne colour , 1 semi metallic vanilla shade as well as 2 ultra smooth matte shades in Grape and Peach.  As with all the Glamore Cosmetics products - all the products are hypo-allergenic and cruelty free. It's no secret that I'm more of a nudes girl - but those plum shades in the palette did tempt me to pick it up to try.  So onto some swatches of this palette.Overall all the colours swatches nicely and the shades blends like a dream - they are soft and very easy to use. The first row of eyeshadows I personally feel these are all colours out of my comfort zone - BUT I ca...

Hi guys . How has your weekend been ?? I took a mini blogging break last week as I was super busy at work . I loved the rain we had in Johannesburg last night - How I love rain and a good thunderstorm.  Today I am sharing some of my favourite products that I'm currently using to get my feet in tip top shape and sandal ready for summer ( I say summer as here in Johannesburg we seem to have skipped spring and jump straight into summer ) . I ordered some new  goodies from the Avon Footwork range (that smells like coconuts ! Yum ! ) and then I got send the new Avon Footcare Electric Rolling Pedi Tool as PR and decided to start testing it out directly. Because let's be real - when the weather warms up you want your feet in sandals and no one wants ugly crusty feet then .  Avon Electric Rolling Pedi Tool  R279 This is a unique way to conveniently smooth and pamper your feet at home. The Electric Rolling Pedi Tool comes with two different intensity levels...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How was your week ? Today I'm sharing all the new products I will be trying out in September.  OGX Sea Mineral Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner While I love Purple shampoos - I try to not use them more than once / twice a week. I ran out of my favourite "Everyday" shampoo and wanted to try something new. I have used it once or twice , so it's still to early to say if I love it or not. I got these on sale at Dischem - so that was one of the main reasons I decided to try it. This shampoo and conditionerclaims to quench dry stiff hair and make it super soft and shiny. Will report back as I do highlight my hair now and that does dry it out quite a bit. Avon True Colour Foundation , Nail Polish and Avon Mark Liquid Lipsticks I got some PR goodies from Avon , that I will be testing out and doing a review or two on the blog. I will definitely be doing a swatch post for the lippies with arm swatches as well as lip swatches and a full rev...

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday. How has YOUR week been ? My week has been pretty busy - at home and at work. But it's also been quite a testing week so far. Hopefully it will be a bit calmer from tomorrow. Today I will be sharing my monthly favourites with you . I found some awesome new products in the month of August that I absolutely love - and I'm sure I will find some new favourites in September too. So without further rambling from me - let's jump into the products. Hean Face Contour Set I have to admit - I'm not a fan of duo kits like this. But how... This little set surprised me. I love the shimmery blush (first square ) so much and it's the only blush I used for August basically. The set contains a matte blush too , as well as a more bronze shade and a shade perfect for contouring. I love the contour shade and blush shade - so I've been reaching for it non stop in August . Hean Luxury Sugar Lip Peeling and Luxury Lip Elixir It's no secret that...

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 ...

Hi guys . Happy Friday . How has your week been ? In my August New On My Beauty Desk post , I mentioned I got the Hean Luxury Lip Elixir and Sugar Lip Peeling from Glamore Cosmetics .As I mentioned in that post - after coming home from holiday I had the most horrible reaction to a food allergy. That results in me having huge sore swollen puffy lips. I ate a little bit different being away from home - so I know I was totally to blame for the allergy.  My lips started peeling lightly - so I turned to my Lush lip scrub which I used to love. Sadly that was way to harsh and resulted in my lips looking worse and hurting a lot more.  Glamore Cosmetics was running an awesome Woman's Day sale , and I decided to finally bite the bullet and try some products that I have been eyeing in there store. The promotion also had a lippy free - and while I knew my lips was way to sore to even think about lip products , I desperately wanted to try it so it made ordering the ideal time. Bu...
