{Review} Revlon Youth FX

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...

{Review} 2 Avon / Justine Cream to Powder Foundations & Justine Silken Pressed Powder Review

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? I got Saturday off - and really enjoyed just sleeping late and chilling that one extra day.  A little while back Avon send me a few goodies to try out and review on the blog. I will slowly start sharing them from today and share what I thought about the products.  It's no secret that I love Avon products - so I was really excited to try them out. Today's post will concentrate on mostly the 2 Cream to Powder Foundations as well as the Justine Silken Pressed Powder.  I have dry - dehydrated skin at this stage but it does get a little bit oilier during the day in my T-zone. Just so you have an idea about my skin type.  Justine Smooth Velvet Cream to Powder Foundation SPF 15 This was the first foundation I tested out. The Cream to Powder does come with a little round sponge in the bottom ( I prefer to use my own beauty sponge instead) and has a pretty decent mirror - making touch ups on the go super duper easy....

New On My Beauty Desk

Hi guys . Happy Friday - I'm still currently on holiday in Durban  - but I will be back in full swing next week with regular scheduled posts. How was your week ? I'm soaking up some sun and enjoying time on the beach before I head back home to icy Johannesburg.  Today I will be sharing another What's New On My Beauty Desk post. I will be giving a little mini update in two weeks on some more of the products I've been testing lately and sharing my thoughts on them . Essence My Must Have Eyeshadows  I mentioned my love for the eyeshadows   HERE  - and I know many people don't really like these eyeshadows - but I picked up 4 new shades ( the purple one I have mentioned earlier - so it's not that new new but since I got a new palette for them I am including it ) . The four colours I picked this round is 09 Chilli Vanilli (vanilla colour ) , 14 Purple Clouds , 03 Miss Foxy Roxy and 07 / mauvie - Time ! I already hit pan while on holiday on Essence All I N...

Tried & Tested : Foundation Edition

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? Mine was nice and chill for a change - but I reckon this might be another busy week . I have received a few foundations as PR and bought a new foundation in November and December , and I have used them all a few times now to form a decent opinion of each.  Some are very budget friendly and some are pricier options - So there is one for every budget.  Before I start - I'll share my skin type. While I was usually more on the oily side , my skin is now more dehydrated combo skin - I have dry patches but I still get an oily T-zone. I do ALWAYS prime my skin before make-up - so keep that in mind when I do mention wear time . So onto the six that have been in my beauty rotation the last few weeks.  Clarins Everlasting Foundation +  I bought this on the Woolies 25% off sale last year and was super excited to try a fancy foundation. I have used a Clarins mask or two before but this would be my first make-up p...
