Glamore Cosmetics A Blue Moon Rising Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?  As you know I did the a review on the Glamore Coffee and Cream Palette a little earlier this month  HERE  . The lovely Gael from  Glamore Cosmetics  was kind enough to send me this palette too. While I wear nude toned make-up looks daily - I have a soft spot for any grey toned palette. I love wearing a good grey-toned smokey eye with nude lips on a night out or even to work as I do feel grey tones for me is a neutral too.  As with the previous two Glamore Cosmetics palettes I reviewed - the formula on these eyeshadows are creamy and pigmented. And they blend like a dream. I am really amazed how creamy and gorgeous these eyeshadows are since they are pretty decently priced (which is always a bonus !) . I feel with the inclusion of the two more nude toned shades there is endless possibilities . The blue toned grey (third from the bottom) doesn't pull too blue but adds a fun pop of subtle colour . A matte black is perfect to do

My 8 Favourite Spring Polishes

Hi guys . Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ?? Now that it's finally getting a little warmer here in South Africa , I decided to share my 8 favourite nail polishes I love reaching for once the weather warms up a bit. Pastels are usually very popular year round - but especially in Spring time when you want some fun brighter colours to wear on your nails and get you ready for the new season . Although let's be real pastel nail polishes are cute year round. Picture Polish Beige This has been a firm staple in my collection. Although Picture Polish is a pricier brand - the polishes wear amazingly well and has a great wear time. Beige is the perfect nude colour for my skin tone - feeling soft and feminine while providing a small pop of colour on the nails.  CATRICE Donut Worry be Happy ! Gel Lacquer Personally for me - when I have a gorgeous pastel pink mani I look for polishes with the best formula - that has amazing lasting time and applies easily . If you f

City Girl Beauty Rome & California lippies

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ??  A little while back while  City Girl Beauty  had a sale on their Matte Liquid lippies for National Lipstick day - buy one get another one free. I've been super keen to try Jess - a fellow South African blogger - line and knew I had to order and try them.  I got Rome - a gorgeous pinky nude for myself and Paris (a peachy toned lippie for my mom - so I won't be swatching that one ) and Jess was kind enough to include another shade for me to try - California - a bright orange toned red.  The applicator is a little doe foot applicator - personally I find this one a little bit harder to use since it is so thin. The lippy smells amazing - like vanilla cupcakes but it's not overpowering once on the lips. The formula is quite mousy so you need a little shake before applying but these lippies has such an amazing staying power - they last amazingly well even after millions of cups of coffee and cupcakes.  The lippies dr

Glamore Cosmetics Coffee & Cream Eyeshadow Palette

 Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! How was your weekend ? I have a super busy week ahead of me- Alex went through to the next round of Public Speaking later today and he has Eisteddfod this week which I will be running on coffee this week.  It's no secret I'm a huge fan of  Glamore Cosmetics  - they have the best costumer service and always willing to assist you with any question you have. A week or two ago they got some new goodies on the site and the Coffee and Cream Palette  that was out of stock got restocked and I knew I had to pick it up. Glamore has some of the best eyeshadow - I reviewed another palette in the range ( The Insanely Romantic Eyeshadow Palette)  HERE  and it's still one of my favourites - but the nudes and browns was calling my name and I added it to my cart as quickly as I saw they were in stock again . And *swoon* these eyeshadow impresses . They are buttery and blends like a dream ... the colours are stunning and so pigmented - I was blown away when
