Pink & Purple Dots

  Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been ??? I'm still on leave for the most part for another week and really soaking up all the last holiday vibes before I go back to the daily day to day things life throws at me.  Last year I rediscovered Swiitch Beauty  after seeing all the people on Twitter loved the glass skin spray. I have since bought the glass skin spray and water-gel serum and OMG! I'm in love but I'm saving all those goodies for a full skincare review soon. Today I'll be sharing two of the make-up related items I dabbled into with my last order. I love how easy and user-friendly the two products I started with was. The Airmatte lippy is a lippy stick (that you sharpen ) that goes on matte and lasts even when wearing a mask. The lippy is pretty easy to apply and I love the girly pink packaging. This gives you the comfort of a crayon lipstick with the lasting power of a liquid lippy - best of both worlds in one. There are 6 colours in total and I picked D...

Hi guys . Happy Thursday. How has your week been ??  Can you believe we are already in November ? It's scary how quickly this year has just flown . I'm extremely excited for Christmas this year (which is a nice change since last year I struggled to get into the holiday mood and about 80% if my Christmas shopping is already done - yeah me ! ) .  Today I'm sharing a review on three Avon products - a foundation , bronzing pearls as well as a Setting Spray. I really love Avon products - as I find they are amazing quality and not too expensive. And I find they have a great variety of products - so there is always something that will catch your eye. Avon Bronzing Pearls in Warm Glow As I mentioned in a Blush post - Avon has a similar style blush pearls which I LOVE . These beads are no exception. I find by swirling a brush into the pearls it offers such a nice bronze to your skin without it looking to muddy or orange. I don't use bronzer everyday - but this one i...

I had such a busy but fun and exciting week .  Earlier this month I got some awesome Impulse fragrances from Rubybox with these pretty pastel make-up brushes - with a challenge to create a few fun make-up looks inspired by either Impulse True Love or Impulse Paris. I have a make-up look ready for both fragrances - but today I will share a little more on the Impulse True Love scent as well as my date night inspired make-up look. Impulse True Love has such a soft girly scent - perfect for going out on a special date - be it dinner and a movie - coffee and chilling at home or a romantic dinner. The fragrance has notes of freesias , muguet and amber, The scent isn't overpowering strong - I feel this is such a perfect scent for everyday .

Today I'm sharing my Summer Essentials- Yes holidays might be over but these are fantastic products that I keep on reaching for over and over.
