Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been so far ?? Lush South Africa launched their Halloween collection last week and sent me a goodie box with some of their Christmas launches as well as the Lush Ectoplasm Solid Shower Cream to try out .  I was REALLY excited about this collection as I LOVE Lush bath products and as soon as the collection went live online I picked up some more goodies to play with. I picked up the spooky Glow in the dark soap and two bubble bars as the other goodies were already sold out when I wanted to buy the goodies minutes after it launched.  So let's jump into the goodies as they are still available in store if it's sold out online : Ectoplasm Solid Shower Cream R145 for 200g Honestly - I never tried a solid shower cream before - I do LOVE the Lush Jelly Shower Jellies and I really like the naked version and it saves on any nasty plastic packaging.  "When you're feeling a bit disembodied and need to return to the land ...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Sorry for the radio silence the last two weeks - my mom was admitted into ICU and I didn't have a free minute to spare. But luckily she's out now and I can continue with my normal level of craziness.  A little while back I did a review on some City Girl Beauty Lippies - and a little after that I placed an order for their Beauty Sleep serum (which my mom swears by ) and decided to pick up one of the new masks in the range. I love that Jess is another fellow blogger with her own range of beauty products . She created 4 new awesome masks and I was extremely keen to try one out . (Side note - I didn't need a new mask - but I love masks / sheet masks in general so I'm always tempted to try a new one ) Plus they are pretty affordable at R90 a mask - as the container does pack a punch and you get about 8/9 uses from the container.  I decided to try the Bees Knees variety as it helps with signs of ageing , scarring , acne and even hydration. 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 Wednesday . How has your week been ?? Now that it's finally getting a little warmer here in South Africa , I decided to share my 8 favourite nail polishes I love reaching for once the weather warms up a bit. Pastels are usually very popular year round - but especially in Spring time when you want some fun brighter colours to wear on your nails and get you ready for the new season . Although let's be real pastel nail polishes are cute year round. Picture Polish Beige This has been a firm staple in my collection. Although Picture Polish is a pricier brand - the polishes wear amazingly well and has a great wear time. Beige is the perfect nude colour for my skin tone - feeling soft and feminine while providing a small pop of colour on the nails.  CATRICE Donut Worry be Happy ! Gel Lacquer Personally for me - when I have a gorgeous pastel pink mani I look for polishes with the best formula - that has amazing lasting time and applies easily . If you f...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ??  A little while back while  City Girl Beauty  had a sale on their Matte Liquid lippies for National Lipstick day - buy one get another one free. I've been super keen to try Jess - a fellow South African blogger - line and knew I had to order and try them.  I got Rome - a gorgeous pinky nude for myself and Paris (a peachy toned lippie for my mom - so I won't be swatching that one ) and Jess was kind enough to include another shade for me to try - California - a bright orange toned red.  The applicator is a little doe foot applicator - personally I find this one a little bit harder to use since it is so thin. The lippy smells amazing - like vanilla cupcakes but it's not overpowering once on the lips. The formula is quite mousy so you need a little shake before applying but these lippies has such an amazing staying power - they last amazingly well even after millions of cups of coffee and cupcakes....

 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 Monday . How was your weekend ? My weekend was crazy busy - I have a jam packed two weeks ahead of me and I wanted to play catch up on some chores I have been putting off - cause let's be real who likes folding laundry ?? Today I'm sharing some of my current favourite Netflix shows.  Now if you know me you know I hardly EVER watch TV .... so when I discovered Netflix I try to do my Mini Pamper Time while chilling out with a good coffee , face mask / painting my nails and doing my nails. I like to catch a movie too on my free morning when I know Alex is at school and I can truly enjoy some me-time. Now I know everyone has extremely different tastes in movies and T.V shows ... so please leave me some suggestions of your favourite Netflix shows to watch too - I'm always looking for new shows to watch and enjoy .
