Pink & Purple Dots

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 matt...

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...

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....

 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 pigment...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? My weekend was crazy busy - I have a jam packed two weeks ahead of me and I wanted to play catch up on some chores I have been putting off - cause let's be real who likes folding laundry ?? Today I'm sharing some of my current favourite Netflix shows.  Now if you know me you know I hardly EVER watch TV .... so when I discovered Netflix I try to do my Mini Pamper Time while chilling out with a good coffee , face mask / painting my nails and doing my nails. I like to catch a movie too on my free morning when I know Alex is at school and I can truly enjoy some me-time. Now I know everyone has extremely different tastes in movies and T.V shows ... so please leave me some suggestions of your favourite Netflix shows to watch too - I'm always looking for new shows to watch and enjoy . To All The Boys I Loved Before If you don't believe in love this movie will change your mind. Lara Jean wrote 5 love letters and hid the...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ?? Today I'm sharing some new haircare products I have been trying that Rubybox sent me a few weeks ago -The Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and Conditioner to try out and review . I'm always excited to find new haircare - and even more excited to try out a very affordable range too.  I have pretty normal hair but it tends to go a little frizzy and dry pretty quickly  . I also tend to wash my hair mostly daily as I prefer clean fresh hair everyday - which sometimes dries your hair out quicker . I do use dry shampoo every so often instead of a wash if I'm really lazy . After using it for a good three weeks now and I have noticed my hair is a lot smoother and totally frizz free since using the range. My hair also feels a lot stronger and shinier than usual - which I love - thanks to the magic of Keratin .  I do find the shampoo does give me a little build up (so once a week I use a clarifying shampoo with the conditioner. ) ...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ??  I'm a little late this month to share my monthly favourites but rather late than forgetting another month to share what I love right ? July is usually our anual family week getaway - so my favourites will include some travel friendly options this month as I am showing a few mini's here . These are all products that I loved and couldn't stop reaching for in the month of July.  Hean Eyebrow Pomade - Ash Brown I have mentioned my love for the Benifit version quite a few times in monthly favourites but I was lucky enough to try out this lovely brow pomade from Hean cosmetics that I was really pretty excited to try it. And with good reason - as I mentioned before this is such an amazing brand. The brow pomade lasts forever on your brows - the colour (ash brown) suits me perfectly and it's pretty easy to work with. Not to creamy and not to stiff - the perfect mixture that you need in a brow product.  Locally Hean ...
