Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has YOUR weekend been ? Sorry for the lack of posts last week - with my still in hospital ICU ( we are going on week 3 ) it's crazy running from work , hospital and school prize givings.  Avon launched a new liquid lippy - and I was really excited when I saw these. These are like a melted down lipstick - the colour is gorgeous and opaque and the formula is super hydrating and nice and buttery . The formula also has a built- in primer to smooth the lip surface. There are 10 colours in the range - and I will be sharing the three colours I ordered with you . There are more bold fin colours - but I know myself and go for a more neutral lip on a daily basis - so I picked three colours that would suit that requirement.  So let's jump into the swatches : NUDEITTUDE This is a gorgeous nude colour. While I prefer more beige-y nudes - this one is perfect to throw on on those days where I prefer a more natural look.  BLUSHING This pink c...

Hi guys . Happy Friday. How has your week been ? My week was super busy - my gran ended up being admitted to ICU on Monday - so this week has been crazy busy running from one place to the other. On another note - If you follow me on social media you know I was tempted to colour my hair a different colour for a while now ... and I finally bit the bullet and went back to brunette on Wednesday.  This month I have some awesome new products I am testing to review for you guys. Some are for specific posts I will be doing this month - some are products I really want to try. So without further chatting from me let's jump into the products . Almay Smart Shade Powder Blush in 10 Pink Can we talk for a minute how cute this looks ?? Look at the pretty ombre and the lovely stars ... swoon - this is blush heaven. I will be doing a few top pink items from brands soon - and you can bet this beauty will be featured in that post. The colour is GORGEOUS too.  Avon Mark Liquid Lip La...

Hi guys . Happy Thursday. How has your week been ??  Can you believe we are already in November ? It's scary how quickly this year has just flown . I'm extremely excited for Christmas this year (which is a nice change since last year I struggled to get into the holiday mood and about 80% if my Christmas shopping is already done - yeah me ! ) .  Today I'm sharing a review on three Avon products - a foundation , bronzing pearls as well as a Setting Spray. I really love Avon products - as I find they are amazing quality and not too expensive. And I find they have a great variety of products - so there is always something that will catch your eye. Avon Bronzing Pearls in Warm Glow As I mentioned in a Blush post - Avon has a similar style blush pearls which I LOVE . These beads are no exception. I find by swirling a brush into the pearls it offers such a nice bronze to your skin without it looking to muddy or orange. I don't use bronzer everyday - but this one i...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How has YOUR week been so far ? On Monday I was lucky enough to receive some new liquid matte lippies from Rimmel to test out and review for Rubybox. I was really excited to try out the range . These lippies are said to have a 12hour wear time , be kiss-proof , transfer proof and water resistant. The range had quite a wide selection of shades - so there will be a perfect colour for every skin-tone and every lip colour you might need. There are 15 colours in the range - and I have 12 of the colours to share with you today and offer arm and lip swatches. The three colours in the collection that I don't have is a dark navy blue , a grey and a black.  So before we jump into all the swatches - let's have a quick chat about the formula first. These lipsticks have a mousse like formula with a slight sweet scent that fades quickly. I mentioning this as I know some of you guys might be worried about the scent. The colours apply super smooth and easy with...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? A little while back all the bloggers were raving about  TheBeautifulStore  Tara and Jack face masks - and at that stage I was pretty intrigued to try it out myself - but I had tons of sheet masks in my pile and let's be real - I'm a little lazy with masks that needs to be washed off , wiped off or peeled off. But I decided to bite the bullet and just try the masks. When I ordered the Tara and Jack masks where buy any amount get the same amount free. So why not? That makes the masks a better deal since they are pricier (and with good reason - these masks are amazing ). I have in the meantime repurchased a million more of these masks and a few other variants too - but those I will do in a separate review soon.  Tara & Jack Shaker Mask with Apple Stem Cells Okay , I was sceptical about this masks the most. You get sent a little plastic container with your order - and you have to open the sachet, put the powder in...

Hi guys. Happy Friday. How has your week been ? Mine has been crazy busy but pretty good. A little while back I got sent the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go! Blonder range from Rubybox to test out.  As I mentioned a million times here on the blog - I am going lighter this year - so I was excited to test out the John Frieda range. This shampoo contains citrus and chamomile to gently reduce colour pigment in the hair so that blonde hair is gradually lightened for a sun-kissed look. It contains no ammonia or peroxide, but rather uses a natural lightening complex. This product is suitable for all shades of blonde and can be used with the matching conditioner and the lightening spray to achieve the best affect. The product is packaged in a tube, with a flip-top cap and has a yellow tint to indicate that it is part of the blondes range. Now I do wash my hair almost daily (apart from the one or two dry shampoo days when I really overslept or Sundays ) . So for the last three/a...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ? I took a little blogging break last week as I had the week of and Alex was on school holiday - so I decided to spend time with family and friends . Today I'm sharing an awesome new mask from REN with you guys - when I got sent the mask earlier in September it came at the perfect time. The mask promises #skinzeninten - and I was keen to try out the claims.  With the season change and me adding a chemical defoliator to my skincare routine once a week , my skin was a little dry and sensitive. Thrown into the mix the daily day to day stress and not drinking enough water - my skin was dehydrated and over sensitive.  The REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask is specially developed with REN exclusive complex of original ingredients to combat over sensitivity , this rescue mask will calm , soothe and moisturise helping to instantly alleviate the key signs of sensitive skin. It will increase the skin ability to cope with st...
