Hean Treasure Foil Metallic Shadow

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 Treasure Foil Metallic Peony
Peony is a gorgeous pinky / purpley shade with such a stunning metallic sheen. Of the two colours - this is the less metallic looking colour.

Personally my favourite way to use this colour is to pop a darker brown into the crease - and with a flat shader brush and some setting spray use this to pack onto the lid. It gives such a gorgeous purpley smokey eye that can't be beaten. This colour wear time is pretty decent too - with setting spray it lasts a good 8 /9 hours before fading slowly.

922 Hean Treasure Foil Metallic Champagne
Honestly - this one is hands down my favourite. It gives the most perfect champagne toned colour with shimmer - if there is only one you need it's this one. I wear it both wet and dry - if I want a more intense sparkly look that looks like a cream shadow - I prefer it wet.

But this looks gorgeous on it's own dry too - I love just popping this onto the lid and rushing out the door on days I do minimal make-up or I know I need to rush out the door .

Swatches of both colours -

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
