Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! How was your weekend ? Excited for Christmas getting closer and closer?  A few weeks ago a few new Almay beauty goodies landed on my beauty desk to try out. While I have a few Almay products that's my favourite favourite - I haven't tried anything from the brand too recently so I was glad to get some goodies to try out . Let's jump into the review - Almay Best Blend Forever Make-Up R270 I have to admit - when I saw the sponge applicator I was sceptical. I don't like using products with build it sponges - but this one is pretty decent. Another bonus is it can be clicked out , washed and clicked back in - which for me is a huge bonus as I hate using dirty sponges. This is a make-up moisturiser with a built in applicator - making it a fantastic multi-tasking product. I feel this is amazing for summer - as it evens out skin tone - yet isn't heavy like foundations in this heat. It's the perfect mix of skincare and colour. I love th

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has your weekend been ? Mine was super busy at work with year end approaching fast - but I really can't wait to put up the Christmas tree and listen to Christmas music non stop soon. As you all know by know I really love Glamore Cosmetics  - not only do they have fantastic costumer service they always have awesome deals and their products are amazing. I recently picked up two of the Treasure Foil Metallic Shadows and today I will share my thoughts on them . These shadows have amazing pigmentation - and can be used both wet and dry.  When the shadows are used wet, they have the same finish as cream eye shadows and have intense shine. Pick up some product on an eyeshadow brush, spray with a setting to fixing spray and then apply to the eye.  When used dry for a softer finish, for best results, use a flat eyeshadow brush for the most colour payoff and sparkle.    The two colours I picked up as 922 - Champagne and 910 - Peony.  910 - Hean Treasu

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ??  Last week Rubybox sent me a Dove Baby Care Pack to review for you guys. Although Alex is a bit older - I'm always on the look out for amazing soft and gentle product on his skin - that won't strip it of any moisture but cleanses his skin (because let's be real boys will be boys )  The range promises to be soothing and gentle on kiddies skin with their special pH neautral formulas as well as be soothing on eczema-prone skin as well as being hypoallergenic.  Sensitive Moisture Head To Toe Wash 200 ml - R38,99 To be honest - I love the Head to Toe wash more than the soap . This wash makes the skin super duper soft - smells amazing without it feeling tight or dry . This is definitely a winner in my books. I like how this works wonders - and it's pretty affordable too .  Mild and gentle, goes beyond mildness, to help replenish the essential moisture and nutrients of the skin lost through bathing and help pres

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?  Just a little over a week ago Rubybox sent me some Derma Hydrate soaps to try out and review for you guys. Derma-Hydrate is a new cleansing bar on the market that will be available from Dischem and Clicks for R64,95 for a 75g bar.  This new cleansing bar is a mild cleansing bar specially formulated for dry dehydrated and compromised skin . There is also no artificial colour added , 100% soap free (so it won't be drying on the skin yest still offer effective cleansing of the skin) , colour free , vitamin E enriched , Ideal 5.5 pH balance and Dermatologist Tested . This brand also doesn't test on animals (which is always a bonus if you are looking for more cruelty-free products )  I have been testing this cleansing bar on my skin for the last week as well as on my son Alex. I love how my skin didn't feel super dry and tight after a bath or shower (as I mentioned before I do have super dry dehydrated skin ) .  I also u

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been so far ? Any fun Halloween plans for tonight? As promised - today I am sharing Part 2 of my Lush Christmas goodies. I know one of the products isn't part of the Christmas range but I felt it was so perfect for Alex I picked it up and will include it in the review today. So let's jump into some more goodies so you know what's worth checking out online or in-store. Remember the online store WILL be restocked during the Festive season period too - so if something that catches your eye is out of stock now check back in a week or two as it might be restocked already. So let's jump into the goodies I got.  Santa's Belly Shower Jelly R95 100g Honestly I love the Lush Shower Jellies. I cut mine into small cubes and store in the fridge - and ESPECIALLY in summer this is the best way to store them . Then after a long pool day , playing out in the sun I grab a block and use it for my shower at night. The blocks also

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. How are you today ? How has your week been ?? A few weeks ago Make-Up Revolution launched in Clicks stores locally and everyone went nuts over the range finally being available in South Africa. I don't have a store close to me that actually stocks any products but when I was browsing Clicks online store I noticed there were some goodies still available online and I quickly scooped it up.  I love how Make-Up Revolution is pretty affordable and decent quality . I got three items from the range to try out - The Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights , Conceal & Define Concealer and Fast Base Stick foundation . The range has quite a few items - and I will review more in the future as I buy but to dip my toes into exploring this brand this was my choices.  Make Up Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights R89,95  Make-Up Revolution is known for making incredible highlighters - so I was really keen to try it out. Mind you I didn't notice

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has your week been ? Mine has been crazy busy - but luckily I have a few posts lined up for you guys this week.  Today I will be sharing Part 1 of my Lush Christmas goodies ( I placed an online order when they launched last week Thursday so those goodies I will be reviewing later this week ) Today the Lush Christmas range will be in store in South Africa - and I thought I'd share my thoughts on the goodies I was sent (Part 1) and do a second part once my order arrives. Again - online it sold out pretty quickly - but no fear Lushies - the online store will be restocked a few times leading up to Christmas. Which is always awesome news. And if you are lucky enough to be close to a Lush store and smell all the lovely Christmas goodies yourself you are in for a huge treat.  So let's jump into part 1 : Once Upon A Time Body Lotion R295 225g   Again - as I mentioned with the Halloween goodies - I'm a sucker for amazing Citrus scents - and thi
