Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Friday. How has your week been ? Mine has been pretty busy at work - and this current extremely hot weather in Johannesburg isn't helping either.  End of last year I bought some new Loreal goodies to play with - The Loreal Infallible Foundation Stick and the Lash Paradise Extatic Mascara and Primer that every Youtuber raves about (only the Lash Paradise Extatic is currently available in South Africa - but I do hear the normal version will be available later this year  )- so I was really excited to try it out . I don't usually gravitate towards Loreal mascara's - but with all the hype I knew I wanted to try them out.  Loreal Extatic Waterproof Mascara in Black  First off - this is a much wetter mascara than I am used to. I prefer a drier formula personally because I feel that doesn't transfer to my lid as easily as a drier formula mascara. The formula is a pretty good formula - I do find it does make my lashes look longer as much full...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . Hope you had a great week. Who else are excited for the weekend ? I know I am. A little while back Essence sent me an amazing little PR package including this gorgeous foundation - the same day I decided to get myself a shade lighter at Dischem too. (Which was a good call - as the shade I was sent will be perfect for summer - but it's a tad too dark for winter.)  I love this foundation - the formula is lightweight but it does cover imperfections without being heavy or cakey. Application is great with a brush or beauty blender or make-up sponge - both give a smooth finish. I prefer this foundation WITHOUT primer - and even though my skin is not as oily as it always was and it being winter which makes my skin super dehydrated -  doesn't dry out my skin at all or cause breakouts. So does it keep me matt ? Yes it does. As I mentioned in a few foundation posts - I apply my make-up pretty early in the morning - and after a full day of work my foundat...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday. Anyone have any fun weekend plans ? Last year when the Loreal Infallible Mattifying Primer & 24Hour Matte foundation came out , I was running to the closest Deschem to get it to try it out. In December Loreal send me a few more shades, and I decided why not share my thoughts on these two products. For the record - The shade I use daily (11 Vanilla I bought myself as well as the mattifying primer ) My shade I started using after December (when I was tanned for once - Radiant Beige - I did receive as a PR sample ) As you guys know, I love primers. My HUGE collection of primers in my bathroom can definitely confirm that it's one of my most used products daily. If I apply make-up the day for work, I would like it to stay on my face and not slide off. Usually I apply my make-up around 05h30 in the mornings, and usually only take it off once Alex is in bed and fast asleep around 20h00 . And I want to still look as good at night as I did when I applied ...

 Hi guys. Happy Friday !  A while back Catrice send me some make-up goodies to try (and I bought some new ones the moment Red Square stocked them online... so be on the look-out for a few reviews on the brands in the next week or two ) , and I'm slowly testing them out at this stage. Today I'm sharing three of those products with you , and my thoughts on each one.  Catrice Prime & Fine Eyeshadow Base The Catrice Prime & Fine Eyeshadow base is a nude eyeshadow base / primer. I really had high hopes, since I LOVE the Essence Eyeshadow base ... But this was a little bit of a let down personally for me. It's a good primer, it does help my eyeshadow last longer, but it's not mind blowing in my opinion . If you're looking for a great eyeshadow base though ... I would recommend the Essence one rather.  Catrice All Round Coverstick Concealer  I'm a big fan of this concealer. The rounded tip makes it easy to apply on trickier places (like to cove...

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great week !  Last year I was lucky enough to get some Revlon ColorStay foundations to try out, and today I'm sharing my thoughts on these foundations.  Revlon ColorStay Stay Natural Foundation - This foundation is PERFECT for someone that wants their foundation to last -but doesn't want a heavy matte finish. This foundation has a very natural look - perfect for just evening out the skin tone and won't let you feel like you are wearing a foundation mask. This foundation has a SPF15 Revlon ColorStay Stay Active Make-Up with Softflex -  This is a great light to medium coverage foundation and the best part - this is sweat proof yet breathable - so perfect for going to the gym or even for a busy day running errands. I love that this is REALLY long lasting, especially when your active and let's be real after a busy day you still want to look great.  This foundation has an SPF25 .  Revlon ColorStay for Combination / ...
