Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How are you doing? Last week was absolutely draining ... I have no idea how I survived work and homeschooling ... but luckily I had Sunday off to recharge and have some quality family time with my kiddo and dad. We did an awesome Father's Day lunch for him ... had tons of hot chocolate and cookies and Alex played Fortnite while I worked on crafting projects. Now if you follow me on my socials it's no secret that I love good nail polish. I picked up two of the colours before we went into lockdown - and the moment we could order any beauty products again I got the remaining four colours just in case they decided to change levels again and ban them. I loved them that much. You might have seen me wearing some of the colours already - and honestly, I love when a brand does an amazing glittery polish like this. There are 6 colours in total and I have them all - so I can share some swatches with you. First up is Lemon Tart -  A pastel yellow with go...

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 ? Mine has been pretty chill in general but the rest of the week will be a bit busier. A while back Essence sent me this palette - and while I showed it a ton over on Instagram - I wanted to do a review on the blog too as this is a really stunning little eyeshadow palette.  They do have 5 in this range - Roses, Greys , Nudes and Bronze & Vintage - and while I usually tend to gravitate towards more nude colours I love grey nail polishes and decided why not try this palette I was sent. I was pleasantly surprised - the colours are all pretty neutral and everyday wear friendly - they aren't glittery (although there sparkly shades has a subtle sparkle I won't say it's a glitter. )  There are 8 shades in this palette - the top row is more grey toned while I found the bottom four shades to be more nude / taupe coloured .  The formulation on these eyeshadows are very smooth and buttery - the apply su...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been so far ? Revlon launches the new Revlon HD ultra Matte lip colours a little while ago, and Revlon send me two colours to test out. I was pretty impressed , so over the weekend I picked up two more colours. Now first off - These are hard to find , as they fly off the shelves - and for a good reason - they are pretty awesome liquid lipsticks.  If you have used the HD Lip Lacquers or Lipsticks you will find these have the same vanilla / mango smell to them. I personally like the smell (but I know some people might not ). It doesn't linger too long , but thought it might be worth a mention. I find these to wear pretty well too - about 4/5 hours (and that included drinking coffee - but they are not transfer proof ) . The wear is pretty comfortable and doesn't dry out your lips - which is great for a liquid lipstick. I like that it leaves a stain on your lips too - so the colour wears off nicely and leaves a pretty stain on y...

Hi guys . Happy Monday. Everyone have a great weekend ? As I shared on my Instagram account  HERE  I got a few products from the Limited Edition Essence Happy Girls are Pretty Collection. The whole collection is gorgeous ( and if you are a nail polish lover I would recommend you RUN to pick some up ) . The collection has two eyeliners, a contour set, a blush , two eyeshadow palettes , six  nail polishes, a nail file and two lip colours. I didn't NEED everything , so I only got the products I could see I will be using , and I thought why not share it here as well.  Happiness Is…Following Your Heart Eyeshadow Palette  This palette I can see being the most popular with five gorgeous nude shades. The eye shadows are also super adorable with a ball of yarn and the word "knit" engraved across. The palette is quite steady and clicks closed tightly  , so perfect for travelling (which is why I bought these two palettes ) . Happiness Is…Fol...

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 ...
