Pink & Purple Dots

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 Monday. How was your weekend? Can you believe it's June already? I've been super busy at work lately (Hence the no posts - but I'm slowly trying to get into my new work routine so I'm planning to post more too.) Also, I haven't forgotten the freebie for May - I will be posting two school kids related freebie worksheets this month. Last month I picked up one of the new Essence palettes they released. They have quite a few pretty new ones - but being obsessed with all things French and Paris I knew the Salut Paris palette was the one for me. And I was totally in luck - the colours in the palette is totally up my alley. I do love awesome mauve and pink and tones as everyday staples - so I loved the colour choices in addition to the neutrals in this palette. It makes it a very friendly everyday colours palette. Personally, for me, a mirror doesn't play that important role - but I do like that it is added to this palette. For some I know i...

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 ?  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 Wednesday . Hope you are having a lovely week so far.  A little while back I was browsing Takealot and I saw this cute little collection . The collection has lippies , eyeshadows , make-up application tools , hair ties and gorgeous nail goodies. From what I can gather this is a limited edition range exclusive to Takealot as I haven't seen it in store yet.  From the collection though only a few items jumped out at me . A lipgloss , the two lippies and an eyeshadow palette.  Essence Counting Stars Highlighter and Eyeshadow Palette 01 Make Your Own Magic R59 This is a gorgeous mini nude palette with three gorgeous colours . Online it does look more pink so don't be fooled into thinking this is a more rosey palette. The colours are SUPER buttery , creamy and blendable - these eyeshadows literally blend themselves . The highligter is a gorgeous more golden toned highlight that can easily work on the skin too - the reason I picked this up it...

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far ? Mine has been incredibly busy at work- I'm pretty sure this time of year everyone feels like that.  Last week Monday Glamore Cosmetics launched a new eye shadow palette -  Insanely Romantic Eyeshadow Palette . This 8 piece eye shadow palette consists of 5 pigmented metallic shimmers including some Plum shades ,a Green and Champagne colour , 1 semi metallic vanilla shade as well as 2 ultra smooth matte shades in Grape and Peach.  As with all the Glamore Cosmetics products - all the products are hypo-allergenic and cruelty free. It's no secret that I'm more of a nudes girl - but those plum shades in the palette did tempt me to pick it up to try.  So onto some swatches of this palette.Overall all the colours swatches nicely and the shades blends like a dream - they are soft and very easy to use. The first row of eyeshadows I personally feel these are all colours out of my comfort zone - BUT I ca...
