Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How was your weekend? I spend some quality time with the birthday boy who turned 9 on Friday. And we're already in February? How crazy is that ?? Last year I decided to gift my mom some new make-up brushes and get me some of the new Essence collection too. Not only are these brushes gorgeous ( I LOVE LOVE  LOVE the white and rose gold handles ... that alone is enough to pick these up, to be honest.). I do love Essence brushes in general - so I was excited to pick some up for me too (and got one in my advent 2018 Advent Calendar too - that perfectly matched the set so I'm a super happy camper.  Let's get chatting about the brushes, how I found them and the prices.  I picked up all my ones from Takelot - but I have seen them in Dischem too.  Essence Bronzer Brush R80 This is such a good fluffy brush perfect for blending in bronzer without looking streaky or patchy.

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I am sharing my picks from the Essence Wake Up , Spring ! Range.

Hi guys. Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?  Today I will be sharing the rundown of June's Sample Sunday series.  If  you don't know already - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  It's always fun for me to "test" a product and give my first impressions on it. So without too much chit chat let's jump into the products -   Today's  #SampleSunday  is a fun magazine freebie. Cosmopolitan and Marie Clarie has three types of make-up brushes free this month. I got the foundation brush- but will collect the others too. These brushes are really soft and I use it to apply BB creams. There is a cute blending brush and blush brush in the range too Today's  #SampleSunday  is another magazine freebie. This month the @essentialsmagsa has a pick from 5 different Essence Liquid Lipsticks. I love the range- since the formula is super hydrating and t...
