Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! How was your Easter Weekend? It was a little different this year - but luckily the Easter Bunny got clearance to visit South Africa so we had to look for yummy Easter Treats on Sunday. I have raved about my Miyo Five Points Eyeshadow Palettes a few times here on the blog - if you missed the previous ones -  Miyo Purple Hearts Palette  or even  Miyo We Are Golden Palette  you can follow the links and read my thoughts on these stunning beauties. All these gorgeous palettes are available from  Glamore Cosmetics . Honestly, I love all the products Gael sells on the site. If you follow me on Instagram you will see a lot of the beauties there as well - and under my Instastories Highlights, I share a few looks I have done with these palettes.  Today I will share some swatches of the Cosmic Rehab palette.  The colour choices in this palette are Out of This World. That purple is stunning and pigmented - yet if you feel it is t...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been? Mine has been crazy busy with year-end craziness - but I'm super excited for the countdown to Christmas this year. It's no secret how much I love Glamore Cosmetics - their products are cruelty-free and they have the most gorgeous shades. I little while back Gael gifted me one of the gorgeous glosses - and I have bought to more in the range since then. These are all nude-toned shades - and perfect for having in rotation for everyday wear.  The Oustanding lipglosses have a creamy formula and are enriched with caring argon oil. These lipglosses are super comfortable on the lips (and I love how they are so nourishing - as I prefer a shinier nourishing product for summer )- this doesn't bunch up and get weird and gloopy and looks youthful and glowy.  Now I totally get - lip glosses aren't for everyone. But these beauties are truly magical. Not only do they look amazing on the lips, have such an amazing pigmented fini...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday! How has your week been so far? Mine has been crazy busy - the last few weeks has been me running from one place to the other - with work and personal life. How crazy has this year been so far?  As I mentioned with my last review of the Miyo palette - I ordered another gorgeous palette from Glamore Cosmetics  and I really couldn't wait to play with it. I decided on this cute palette as I knew that's an everyday staple in my collection - and I wanted something small enough to be able to travel with. ( Look at me talking about travelling when I know that won't happen soon ...)  I love the tones of the We Are Golden palette, I won't say it's too warm-toned or cool-toned, all these shades (well the three brown tones) fall more into the neutral side - making it the perfect palette for almost everyone.  Since getting this palette - I have been using it almost daily. I don't do anything fancy eyeshadow wise for work, mostly just set my ...

Hi guys! Happy Thursday - honestly can you believe it's August already ?? Today I have another gorgeous eyeshadow palette to share with you guys - and yes it's another purple/pink toned inspired one. When I placed an order for the Pierre Rene concealer (if you follow me on Instagram you know how much I rave about the foundation - I will be doing a full review on both the foundation and concealer on the blog soon ) and the lovely Gael and Emma from  Glamore Cosmetics  gifted me this gorgeous Miyo Purple Hearts palette. ( I have ordered another palette from the range and will be reviewing that one once I get it too) I haven't tried anything from the Miyo range before - but after seeing all the Instagram videos they posted of this gorgeous palette as well as swatches I was super excited to try it. The colours on the palette are all super smooth and buttery - and blend like a dream. I wore the more neutral shades (the brown and glitter shade) and the pinks with the mo...

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 nigh...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far ?? Today I'm sharing with you some swatches of the Glamore It's a Vibe 35 Piece Eyeshadow Palette. Now first off - I have to admit I'm not one for big palettes in general as they take up so much space- but they had an awesome special over Black Friday that I knew I had to get it for myself as a Christmas present.  As I mentioned hundreds of times - Glamore Cosmetics is honestly one of my favourite online stores to shop from. Gael makes every shopping trip there truly magical with amazing customer service and great specials. All their products are cruelty-free and hypo-allergenic.  I love how this palette contains a lot of everyday wearable colours as well as lots of awesome pinks and purples - as I love wearing neutrals or pinks and purples for work. This palette contains a lovely mix of 18 mattes as well as 10 semi shimmer and 7 awesome glitters shades.  Now first off - as I have been experimenting with ...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ! How has your week been so far ? Last year on the black Friday sale I picked up a few goodies - and I'm only getting around to reviewing them now. It's no secret that Glamore Cosmetics is one of my favourite online stores - the customer service Gael provides is out of this world amazing and I haven't ordered something I didn't fall in love with.  Hean High Definition Fixer Spray R310  This product shouldn't be confused with a setting spray (that generally blends make-up into skin ). This is a magical fine mist that will help keep your make-up in place and looking fabulous for much longer. The spray is a very fine mist but it takes some getting used to if you are just used to traditional setting sprays - the mister on here is more like a hairspray mister . Which still catches me by surprise on some days. I do find if I use this Fixer spray my make-up stays in place for the day - even on the hot and humid days we have been gettin...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has your weekend been ? Mine was super busy at work with year end approaching fast - but I really can't wait to put up the Christmas tree and listen to Christmas music non stop soon. As you all know by know I really love Glamore Cosmetics  - not only do they have fantastic costumer service they always have awesome deals and their products are amazing. I recently picked up two of the Treasure Foil Metallic Shadows and today I will share my thoughts on them . These shadows have amazing pigmentation - and can be used both wet and dry.  When the shadows are used wet, they have the same finish as cream eye shadows and have intense shine. Pick up some product on an eyeshadow brush, spray with a setting to fixing spray and then apply to the eye.  When used dry for a softer finish, for best results, use a flat eyeshadow brush for the most colour payoff and sparkle.    The two colours I picked up as 922 - Champagne and 910 - Peony....

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 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 ??  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 ...
