Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been? Mine has been crazy busy with year-end craziness - but I'm super excited for the countdown to Christmas this year. It's no secret how much I love Glamore Cosmetics - their products are cruelty-free and they have the most gorgeous shades. I little while back Gael gifted me one of the gorgeous glosses - and I have bought to more in the range since then. These are all nude-toned shades - and perfect for having in rotation for everyday wear.  The Oustanding lipglosses have a creamy formula and are enriched with caring argon oil. These lipglosses are super comfortable on the lips (and I love how they are so nourishing - as I prefer a shinier nourishing product for summer )- this doesn't bunch up and get weird and gloopy and looks youthful and glowy.  Now I totally get - lip glosses aren't for everyone. But these beauties are truly magical. Not only do they look amazing on the lips, have such an amazing pigmented fini...

Hi guys . Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? My weekend was pretty chill - I tested out the ? Inoar Hair Botox treatment and will be giving you guys a full review later this week.  Today I'm sharing some new goodies on my beauty desk. This isn't everything I got - some products I kept aside for specific posts . This month I got a mixture of some new goodies to play with - I haven't had a chance to play with everything yet - but will most likely test out the rest over the next week or so. If there is anything you'd like a full review on - feel free to let me know. So let's jump into the products.  Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-1 Foundation and Concealer in Creamy Vanilla When  Milani SA  launched I was really excited to pick up this foundation. This was the top item on my wish list to try . The foundation was pretty decently priced (At R150 ) and free delivery for August. Bargain ! I have used this foundation for a week now and I can't see myself put...

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 Monday ? How was your weekend ? Ready to tackle the new week ? Avon updated and re-branded some of their make-up under the Mark range that promises loud colour, trendy items , high on impact and big on inspiration.  I love the new packaging - the black and white is very eye catching and makes you feel fancy using the items - which is a bonus since they are pretty affordable and awesome. As I got these myself - I chose colours I could see myself reaching for everyday - and I prefer some more neutrals for work mostly.  The three products I chose to try from the new range - Mark 3D Plumping Lipstick in Mad for Mauve (swoon I really love this colour ) Mark The Bold Lipstick in Bare Impact  Mark Glossy Tube Lip Gloss in Naturally Nude Mark 3D Plumping Lipstick in Mad for Mauve : These lipsticks claim to give you plumper firmer lips with 100% instant moisture.  I can't say that this lipstick plumped my lips - but then again I'...

Hi guys ! Hope your having a great week and had an awesome Christmas time spend with family and friends. I had a great festive time. Today I'm sharing my last update of the Essence Advent Calender. I really enjoyed the calender , and will most certainly be on the lookout for another fun Advent calender to open next year.  As always , this isn't a full review on the products - but I have written down the ones people wanted mini reviews on and will be sharing that in the new year.  So onto the goodies : Day 20 : Purple Duo Sharpener . I have this one in orange already , but I wanted a girlier version for my work make-up bag. These are amazing sharpeners for your eyeliners . Day 21 : Essence Nail Polish in My Love Diary. I already own this colour , but it's a gorgeous colour so I'm glad I have a back up. Day 22 : Essence Bling Bling Nail Stickers. I love wearing nail studs studs so these will be used very very soon. Day 23: Essence Glossy Kiss Berry Glos...

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday . Anyone else glad it's a super short week this week ? I am recovering from a cold this weekend, not the best way to start a week though.  I Today I'm sharing some Essence Liquid Lipsticks with you . Last year Essence was kind enough to send me a press pack, and two of these shades were included, Around the same time I placed an online order with Red Square and also picked one up . (That one is my favourite shade - Colour Party) , These lipsticks aren't matte or long lasting like most liquid lipsticks. These really feel like a lipstick melted down - but they are super moisturising. These are a little sticky like lipglosses but nothing super annoying, these are quite comfortable to wear. . They last a good 2/3 hours on me and even when the colour has faded it still has a moisturising feeling on the lips - which for the price makes it worth while to check out. These retail for around R49,95 at Essence counters.  I quite like the thin doe ...

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 ...
