Pink & Purple Dots

  Hi guys! Happy Thursday. How has your week been so far? A little while back Essence did an excellent collection with Jurassic World, and since Alex and I ADORE the film franchise - I knew I had to jump on this collection and get as many of the items as possible. Luckily I hit the website just as it was uploaded so I got the collection and decided to do a full review for you guys.  Again - I don't usually buy full Essence collections anymore - but this was an exception and for good reason. Who doesn't love dinosaur-inspired make-up? First up, the make-up tools in this collection. Pink Make-Up Sponge in Bingo! Dino DNA R82,95 Highlighter Brush in Must be a fast Runner R82,95 Powder Brush in Stay in the car! R99,95 Again, I love Essence brushes and make-up tools - and I love the colours on the brush handles. Did I really need new make-up brushes? No... But who can say no to these cuties?  Essence brushes are fantastic quality and affordable - so you can't go wrong with the...

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How has your week been? This will be another crazy busy week for me personally - but I had to get my butt back into gear and do a few posts again as I have been picking up quite a few new products to test and review. Today I will share my picks from the new Essence Limited Edition range called What's Your Fruit Mood? range. This range includes 6 products - a watermelon fan, jelly primer, mini setting spray, grapefruit lip balm, mini scented nail polish and a refreshing body spray. As I didn't require all the products - I picked the three that I felt would be fun to try and suit what I needed.  In my case, it was the awesome watermelon fan, the jelly primer and mini-setting spray.  What's your Fruit Mood watermelon fan R66  I love using a mini fan along with my setting spray as it makes sure it dries quickly and gives me a boost of cool air too.  I love watermelon so the pattern is a total winner  I can really recommend it if you like usin...

Morning guys! Happy Wednesday! How are you doing in Lock-Down so far? I'm not going to lie - even though I know this is the best .. the insane amount of cooking, cleaning and trying to work from home and home-schooling is driving me a little insane - I'm glad to know my family is safe at home driving me nuts. I got this lovely Essence Pink Glitter Show Palette end of last year ... and I know this is still on sale at a lot of places - so I thought it's the perfect time to do a little review on the palette. When I saw it in Dischem I'm not going to lie - the pink glitters and princess feel of the palette won me over instantly. (I'll share some gorgeous photos of the outside of the palette as well in the end ) The palette consists of 12 smooth as butter and pigmented colours - some nude / champagne shades as well as some gorgeous pink/berry-toned shades.  All these shades have great pigmentation - all blend like a dream and the shimmers in this palette is magi...

  Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . Hope you are having a lovely week so far.  A little while back I was browsing Takealot and I saw this cute little collection . The collection has lippies , eyeshadows , make-up application tools , hair ties and gorgeous nail goodies. From what I can gather this is a limited edition range exclusive to Takealot as I haven't seen it in store yet.  From the collection though only a few items jumped out at me . A lipgloss , the two lippies and an eyeshadow palette.  Essence Counting Stars Highlighter and Eyeshadow Palette 01 Make Your Own Magic R59 This is a gorgeous mini nude palette with three gorgeous colours . Online it does look more pink so don't be fooled into thinking this is a more rosey palette. The colours are SUPER buttery , creamy and blendable - these eyeshadows literally blend themselves . The highligter is a gorgeous more golden toned highlight that can easily work on the skin too - the reason I picked this up it...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I'm sharing some of the goodies I got from the Essence Wood You Love Me Limited Edition collection. As always - this isn't everything in the collection - just the products that I felt I needed. There is still some cute nail files , make-up sponges eye pencils and two other polishes in the collection.  So let's jump into the goodies I got ... Essence Energizing Eye Sheet Mask - Foxever in Love & Essence Hydrating Face Sheet Mask be Happy! Be A Bunny R44 each  If you follow me on social media you know it's no secret that I am obsessed with sheet masks (and masks in general to be honest). So I knew these I just had to have . These masks have cute animal inspired prints on the sheet and look super adorable. I haven't tried them yet - but once I do I will share them on social media. Both are super easy to use and stay on for 15 minutes (the perfect me time after a long day ) Essence Highlighter &...

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I am sharing my picks from the Essence Wake Up , Spring ! Range. As always this collection was another gorgeous limited edition collection - and I was happy when I saw my Clicks was still pretty fully stocked. This time round though - the nailpolishes didn't intrigue me at all - but I will be sharing the three items I did decide to pick up. Essence Wake Up , Spring Blush in Hello Sunshine ! There is apparently two blushes in the range , but my Clicks only had one. Again - did Lynette need another Blush in her life ? No. Did Lynette buy said blush in any case - Yes ! This blush was a little less pigmented than I hoped - but it's a nice gorgeous subtle everyday colour. I don't gravitate to peachy blushes in Winter - so I haven't used this one too much - but this will look stunning when the weather warms up.   T he Blush can be folded up to reveal an integrated mirror - which is pretty cool and can make to...
