Glamore Cosmetics Princess Aurora 9 Piece Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! Happy Friday - and also Happy July. July is going to be another super busy month for me- work is insanely busy (which is always good !) and Alex has a million activities this month too.

Today I'm sharing with you my thoughts on Princess Aurora 9 Piece Eyeshadow Palette from Glamore Cosmetics. I have raved about them hundreds on times on the blog as well as my Instagram (and I have some lip-glosses and foundation review from this online store to share with you guys soon too ).

Gael was kind enough to send me this palette as a surprise for my birthday - and honestly, while I didn't feel like playing with make-up then - now it's a palette I reach for on a weekly basis. This stunning palette consists of three shimmer shades (which all look WOW and 6 super soft blend-able matte shades)

The shadows are all extremely pigmented - I mean WOW! I can apply these on my lids around 5 in the morning and before bedtime (around 9/10 on my early nights) these shadows still look exactly the same as when I applied them in the morning. I do use an eye-shadow primer and to make the shimmer shades pop a little more I do use a glitter primer. Absolutely NO fading during the day (which tends to happen with mostly ANY eye-shadow). They are extremely buttery and SUPER DUPER easy to blend out. I feel the shades go nicely together and give you quite a few look options - I love the pink and purple combos as well as the neutrals - my go-to eye look daily is either a neutral eye or a pink/purple eye look. So for me personally these are the colours I tend to gravitate to on day to day basis.

I also love the marble packaging as well as the awesome mirror - so if you need a mirror while travelling this one will be perfect. Overall for me, this palette is a total winner - and for R299 - it's a steal if you are looking for long-lasting, easily blend-able buttery eye shadows.

Here are some looks I have done with this palette -

Have you tried any of the Glamore Cosmetics palettes yet? I own quite a few by now and each one just seems like they get better and better.

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
