Pink & Purple Dots

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 Saturday . How has your week been ? Hopefully it's been a great week.  Today I'm sharing my Top 5 Red Lip Colours with you. Now I have to be honest - Red isn't really a lip colour choice I go for often. But Red lip colours does have a place in my make-up collection, so today I'm sharing the 5 ones I have been loving lately.  If you missed my Top 5 Purple Lip Colours and want to check them out you can  HERE  or want to have a look at my Top 5 Pink Lip Colours you can click  HERE  . So onto my favourites ...  Essence Mini Sheer Lipbalm I am Charming - The name might suggest this balm is sheer, but it's really quite pigmented . This isn't a bright in your face red , and that's what I love about this colour. This is perfect if you want to try out a red lip but not confident enough to pull off the va-va voom red. This actually lasts a while on me , and again since it's Essence it's super affordable.  Loreal Xtreme Res...

 Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. How has your week been so far ? As promised , today I will be sharing my Top 5 Pink Lip Colours with you guys, This is personally my favourite colour to wear on my lips, be it a bolder pink or a nice neutral girly pink. This was the hardest colour to find only my favourite 5 ... But eventually I settled on these gorgeous 5 lip colours. Essence Liquid Lipstick Colour Party -  I will be swatching some more colours in this range too, but this colour I bought on a whim with a Red Square order I placed early in December, I wanted to try out the colour and was deciding between the pink and nude one. I decided on the pink one and haven't look back since. This lip colour is hydrating, has a GORGEOUS pink colour and makes me feel like a princess when wearing it. The colour does wear off within an hour or two, but I always pop this into my handbag as it provides a gorgeous colour and hydrates my lips - another bonus - It's SUPER budget friendly. R...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. Hope you have been having a great week, mine was and is busy, but next week I'll be back to my three posts a week schedule. Yeah ! Today I'm sharing three swatches of the L'oreal Infallible Glam Summer Splash Plexi Nail Polishes with you as well as my thoughts on these polishes. These are actually the first dual sided nail polishes that was easy to use . usually you can't remove the bottle completely and get stuck with holding the heavy middle part to paint your nails. The L'oreal one has the option to remove both sides, making it SUPER easy to use then.  The dual sided wand comes with a metallic silver side (as shown in a photo below on it's own ) and a jelly looking colour side. The idea is to get bold metallic nails that last.  I really like the silver on it's own too ... It's such a gorgeous colour. I would recommend giving the silver colour a good 2 -3 minutes to dry down before you start applying the "j...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday. Hope you all had a great week.  L’oreal has recently launched the new Infallible Mega Glosses that come in many gorgeous shades various cool finishes.  The L’Oreal Mega Glosses are described as a “no compromise gloss” that will give a high level of shine to the lips, leaving you with a glossy looking pout without the sticky feeling. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, the formula hydrates the lips whilst providing long-lasting and intense colour. I have to say , this is one of the least sticky lipglosses out there - which is great if you are not a fan of sticky glosses. The gloss lasted about 3 hours on me , that's with drinking insane amounts of water in between in this heat.  The Mega Gloss has a classy sleek packaging with a black cap and a simply designed transparent tube making it look quite luxurious. And who doesn't love taking out a fancy looking lipgloss when you are out and about ? The lipglosses also have a unique contoured wand ...

(Just had way to much cake the last two weeks ... hee hee hee )  So with Friday being Valentinesday .. I will be showing some of my favourite red nail polishes with you guys. To be honest .. I'm not the biggest fan of rocking red nails personally, but red nails are perfect for Valentinesday ..  so in no particular order .. Here are my 12 favourites... All of the polishes are two coats with topcoat (the textures without topcoat of course) 1.China Glaze Cranberry Splash   -  China Glaze Cranberry Splash is a metallic shimmery red.  2. China Glaze With Love - This is a fire red polish with the slightest orange tint to it.  3. Loreal Rouge Pin Up A classic red nail polish . I love how this is a deeper red polish  4. China Glaze Don't Make Me Wine This is a dark magenta coloured polish.. But in most light is looks like a deep wine re...

Hi guys ! Hope you had an amazing weekend ! I was so glad about the little cooler weather yesterday, seriously the heatwave wasn't the most fun thing ever.  So since most of you been back at work since last week, I decided to make a special post about some gorgeous goodies for your hands and nails this week to get you back in the work spirit . (Actually who am I kidding no one wants to be back. )  I know most of you can't wear crazy bold colours to work, so I've put together some of my favourite nude nail polishes for you . All of these are amazing formula wise, and are all my my personal favourite for work too.  All these polishes has a pretty decent formula, and I used two coats of all the polishes shown below. (Except on the Seche colour one, that was a 1coater)  So here's my 12 favourite nude polishes - 1) Loreal Rose Bagatelle  A gorgeous rose pink colour . I love the wide brush and how perfectly the colour suits me. 2) OPI My Vampire is Buff ...

Hi guys ! It's finally Friday !! This was another super long week for me .. So I'm so glad it's almost over. This weekend should also bring some more cooler weather to JHB, finally time to dust off my boots . ♥ Today I'm showing you a mani using the OPI Pink Flamenco I showed you earlier this week. This was such a gorgeous colour, so instead of taking it off, I jazzed it up a bit , and stretched the wearing time of this mani. ♥ For the accent nail I used two coats of L'oreal Black Swan, and stamped with SE 21 and Essence Black Stamping Polish. The other nails are all 2 coats of OPI Pink Flamenco -  I really loved this mani and the colours together. ♥ Such a cool colour combo . I hope you like my new cuticle watermark, I think this might take some getting used too for me, but in the long run I love the neater look of it. Anyone got any fun weekend plans ??? Whats your favourite colour mani to rock on a weekend ??

Hi guys ! How is everyone week going so far ? My week has been super busy, and I'm really not in the mood for today, just feel overtired and in need of some extra energy. And the mosquito's munching me in the evenings are really no fun either. Today I'm showing you a fun mani I've been wearing this week. I loved the end result of the stamping on the black, really gorgeous . For this mani I used two coats of Tip Top Sherbet Angel (although in the photos I did notice a little VNL , but it's really not that noticeable in real life ) , and the accent nail I used Loreal Black Swan, and stamped with Salon Express plate 18 and Konad Special White Polish ♥ I love the girlyness and simplicity of this mani - What colour are YOU wearing on your nails at the moment ? Anyone here taking part in the Black Friday support mani against woman and child abuse ?? I'll be posting mine on Friday on the blog . If you should do a mani too, feel free to email / tweet ...
