Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How are you doing? Last week was absolutely draining ... I have no idea how I survived work and homeschooling ... but luckily I had Sunday off to recharge and have some quality family time with my kiddo and dad. We did an awesome Father's Day lunch for him ... had tons of hot chocolate and cookies and Alex played Fortnite while I worked on crafting projects. Now if you follow me on my socials it's no secret that I love good nail polish. I picked up two of the colours before we went into lockdown - and the moment we could order any beauty products again I got the remaining four colours just in case they decided to change levels again and ban them. I loved them that much. You might have seen me wearing some of the colours already - and honestly, I love when a brand does an amazing glittery polish like this. There are 6 colours in total and I have them all - so I can share some swatches with you. First up is Lemon Tart -  A pastel yellow with go...

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 Monday . How was your weekend ? Mine was pretty chill - I think I might have had a super quiet weekend - but I really enjoyed all the chill time.  Today I have another fun mani to share with you guys. I have 1more  BornPrettyStore  plate to use and share - and I saved this to use in the cooler months here . I really love how easy these plates are to pick up the designs - as I mentioned I do have a MoYou plates but they are much harder to pick up the images. The images picks up flawlessly and all look pretty amazing ( I will share some stamping images at the end of the post ) . The link to the plate is  HERE .  The colours I used : Essence White on White China Glaze Fairy Dust Essence All That Greys Back To Black  So onto the nail look -  And some stamping swatches - so you can get a feel for the plate : I really love the plates - these are pretty easy to use and I would 100% would recommend...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ? How has your week been ?  Today I'm sharing two manis as well as two product reviews from  BornPrettyStore  - a gorgeous design (although these aren't too florally - I love the design of this plate ) and the Cuticle Guide Nail Protectors .  First off - I haven't used any of the Born Pretty Store rectangular stamping plates - so I was pretty impressed with the size of this one . The images all pick up perfectly - which is great since I have Mo You plates that cost a lot more that doesn't pick up the images well. I use a squishy clear stamper for all the stamping I do.  I did two manicures with two different designs so far (I'm still wearing the pinky one as this was my Valentine's week mani ) . For this mani I used : Essence White on White Essence Grey Zone China Glaze Haunting China Glaze Fairy Dust And onto nail look two -  For this mani I used : Avon Magic Lace Polish (Pink) Revlon Chard...

Essence recently came out with a million new releases ( I will be sharing some of the new make-up releases later this week too ) and I couldn't wait to pick up a few of the new products to test out and review for you guys. This isn't even half of the new goodies they have, just a little taste of the products I picked up.  (Some of the products were PR samples I received a few months back too ) Essence Studio Nails Triple Care * R34,95 This is a great treatment that aims to repair , strenghten and care for your nails.
