Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We had a bit of a rough week last week - not only the usual daily routine stuff but Alex slipped and fell in the bath and now has a major gash just beneath his bottom lip and a chipped tooth. Fun ... (not) Wet n Wild is a brand I haven't tried out too much. I do have the eyeshadow primer I got last year and LOVED ( and it's still one of my favorite eyeshadow primers). When the Wet n Wild photo focus foundations came out last year everyone raved about it. When I saw they were available on Clicks I couldn't wait to order some goodies. I got a gorgeous Wet n Wild highlighter from my aunt as a Christmas prezzie and decided to throw it in here too.  Wet n Wild PhotoFocus Foundation in Soft Ivory So first off - yes all the people mentioning the strong smell is 100% correct. It does have a bit of a chemical smell to it. The fact that the foundation doesn't have a pump is also a little bit of a bummer as I prefer a pump, to be...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. How are you today ? How has your week been ?? A few weeks ago Make-Up Revolution launched in Clicks stores locally and everyone went nuts over the range finally being available in South Africa. I don't have a store close to me that actually stocks any products but when I was browsing Clicks online store I noticed there were some goodies still available online and I quickly scooped it up.  I love how Make-Up Revolution is pretty affordable and decent quality . I got three items from the range to try out - The Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights , Conceal & Define Concealer and Fast Base Stick foundation . The range has quite a few items - and I will review more in the future as I buy but to dip my toes into exploring this brand this was my choices.  Make Up Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights R89,95  Make-Up Revolution is known for making incredible highlighters - so I was really keen to try it out. Min...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . And Happy Valentine's day to those celebrating. If you don't - then happy Wednesday.  Today I'm bringing you the last instalment of my 6 Favourite Pink Face products. These are all products I love and reach for on a almost daily basis . So let's jump into the products . Glamore Cosmetics Bevel Make-Up Sponge These  Glamore Cosmetics  Bevel sponges are the best make-up application tool ever. I don't own a Beauty Blender - and after trying these sponges I'm sure I'll never try another one. This is so soft and squishy and blends your foundation like a dream. And it's pretty affordable too !  Hean Face Contour Mix I'm sure it's pretty obvious that the blushes in this palette are loved. I love the rosy golden tone of the top blush ( on which I've clearly hit pan on) and can't recommend it enough . The darker matte pink blush is gorgeous too ( I have some swatches after the next blush ). This blush lasts...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday ? How was your Heritage day and long weekend if you had one? I still worked on Saturday and I usually have Monday's off - but I enjoyed the little bit of extra time with the kiddo.  A little while back Revlon send me a cute Press Pack with the new Revlon Youth FX line of products. The range includes a forehead primer , foundation , concealer and face and neck primer.  "Revlon Youth FX range of anti-ageing products that dramatically transform the look of lines and wrinkles. Developed with filling and blurring technology, all four products in the range contain a unique combination of soft focus powders that scatter light, blurring imperfections, while micro-spheres fill in wrinkles, making them less visible. Each product works in unison with the others, to ensure you look your very youthful best." I'm 31 , and I love focusing on Anti Ageing products now. I was really excited I was sent the range to try as I love Revlon products - and...

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? I totally skipped June favourites last month - as June was such a crazy busy month . I don't have too many favourites this month - as I didn't want to repeat most from last month - so I'm including all the newer favourites and sharing them with you guys today . But first let's hop into the non beauty related favourites . July was a much better month though - and even included a little getaway with the family to the beach .  That definitely was one of the magical moments of the month - a much needed getaway with my kiddo. Even though it was Winter - we had the most amazing weather for the whole week- perfect for spending most of the day at the beach relaxing.  While on holiday (and actually while shopping at Lush ) Tanya suggested I have to try Wicked Donuts. I'm so bummed we don't have one close to us but I think that's a good thing - and I'm sure my waistline would agree. I had the most awe...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday - how has your week been so far ? Mine has been pretty good so far . Essence did a whole new range update in April - new lipglosses , eyeshadows , mascaras - single eyeshadows , nail polishes , nail treatments , palettes - you name it they have it. While it was extremely tempting to grab everything to try out - I tried to be modest with my picks and only got a few of the new products to try out. Now keep in mind I will most likely be picking up some more goodies in the next few months and review them here too.  Essence Growth Boosting Drops - R39,95 As I mentioned in my April Favourites post - these Growth boosting drops came into my life at the right time. My nails are extremely dry and weak after a hectic strong dose of cortisone to get better in March - and my nails ended up looking horrible. So far this impressed me and I use it daily by massaging into my cuticles and nails . This is a thin serum-y type balm It's also pretty affor...

Hi guys. Happy Friday . I am finally better - Yeah ! I was horribly sick last week so finally being able to feel human again is amazing - and scary how quickly you take it for granted.
