City Girl Beauty The Bees Knees Mask

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Sorry for the radio silence the last two weeks - my mom was admitted into ICU and I didn't have a free minute to spare. But luckily she's out now and I can continue with my normal level of craziness.

A little while back I did a review on some City Girl Beauty Lippies - and a little after that I placed an order for their Beauty Sleep serum (which my mom swears by ) and decided to pick up one of the new masks in the range. I love that Jess is another fellow blogger with her own range of beauty products . She created 4 new awesome masks and I was extremely keen to try one out . (Side note - I didn't need a new mask - but I love masks / sheet masks in general so I'm always tempted to try a new one ) Plus they are pretty affordable at R90 a mask - as the container does pack a punch and you get about 8/9 uses from the container.

I decided to try the Bees Knees variety as it helps with signs of ageing , scarring , acne and even hydration. With the weather change my skin is still dry / dehydrated but I have had a few breakouts (nothing serious ) and wanted a good everyday type of mask.

I love that the mask comes in a very sturdy glass container. With the extremely hot weather in Johannesburg (which makes it seem like we skipped Spring and went straight into Summer with added allergies ) I prefer to store mine in my fridge and after an extremely long warm day pop this mask on . The mask is quite gel like and a little sticky - but after the 10 / 15 minute mark you feel most got absorbed into your skin and it's easy to wipe away the remaining mask with a warm washcloth .

It's hard to say if this mask helped with ageing - but I did notice it helped clear up the small breakouts on my forehead and hydrated my skin.

I finished my last bit last night - and I will repurchase again very soon ! I feel this is such a perfect any occasion little treat mask for when you need a little pick me up.

Do you like to mask regularly too ?

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
