Review : Essence Happy Girls Are Pretty Collection

Hello lovely ladies 

 Walking into Clicks and obviously I walked right over to the Essence rack. I was looking for a blush and I noticed the recent collection in the middle 'Happy Girls Are Pretty Collection' and first thing I noticed was the blush(R57.95) it looked different as it had a heart in the middle with a darker shade and a pattern surrounding the heart with a lighter shade. 

I also took the sheer lipbalm(R44.95) , nice natural colour just how I like it. I must say I really love love this particular lipbalm as it gives a great effect that is close to a lipstick and leaving a smooth feeling on the lips. I love how natural and neutral it is and I must say affordable too especially for those of you on a budget.  

In the swatches above you can see that the blush does not do that much , I don't think it takes onto the skin very easily but it does show some sort of colour when applied, so in my opinion I think it's okay but I'm looking for one that will actually make my cheeks pop. The lipbalm however I love and think I will purchase again as its perfect and I love the colour. 

I did not purchase the whole collection but if you have let me know what you think is good and I will go and try it out.

Thanks for reading.

Stay Fabulous

Varsity / College Shopping Guide

Happy Wednesday Beauties 

If I'm correct most students are back at varsity/college this week. For those that are clueless on what to buy to get your 'back to varsity/college' wardrobe freshened up I put together a few items I found online to get you started. I've heard some students say that at some point they don't really care what they wear to campus as it becomes too much of an effort to dress up and you will probably end up in sweat pants and a tee nevertheless I hope you like some of the items picked out as you do get those days you feel to dress up a bit, the items below in my opinion are super casual , versatile and fashionable at the same time. 

1. Stripe Muscle tank R59.99 - Mr Price

• What I love about this top is that its stripe and it is a top that you can pair up with your jean / sweats / shorts and basically whatever you wish . In my opinion a stripe tee is always a must have.

2. Quilted Backpack R149.99 - Mr Price

• Don't you love this super cute backpack? I love the funky quilted look with the gold detail which will spice up an outfit instantly.

3. Utility Shirt Dress R109.99 to R169.99 - Mr Price 

• These dress shirts are on trend at the moment and I think they will be big in autumn. I love the fact that you can pair it up with flats , sneakers or boots . What do you think?

4. Wide Dress R299 - H&M

• Perfect for layering and great for warm days I think the wide dress is versatile and the print is pretty if you feel to break away from basics

5. Boyfriend Jean R179.99 - Mr Price

• A comfortable jean is a must have especially if you going to be walking all day ect. ect. and this one from Mr Price is perfect . Guys can you believe that I have not found the perfect boyfriend jean as my waist is so tiny.  

6. Bad Girl Watch R249 - Zando

• I love how simple the design of the watch is , so to have a good watch on your arm will be a good fashion accessory to add to your outfit.

7. Soviet Viper High Sneaker R299 - Zando

• Having a black pair of takkies is never a waste you can wear it everyday with everything and it will probably be your fav shoe to wear to campus because its that comfy.

I hope this shopping guide helped you in some way and gave you some idea of what to purchase. I really enjoy putting together boards of what is currently in store. If you enjoy these type of posts pop me an email , tweet me if you enjoy this and if you maybe want me to do 'work wear' one too.

Review : 212 VIP Rose Eau de Parfum Spray

Hello Beauties 

Because its the month of LOVE I decided to review a perfume for a change , soo ladies if you have not heard of the '212 VIP ROSE' fragrance you better hint hint to your partner because its the perfect Valentine's Gift haha. 

Ohkay jokes aside here are my thoughts of what I think of the fragrance:

Strong smell perfect for those who love a strong scent , I will probably only use this for a special occasion as I feel the sent is too much for daily use. I'm currently using the 212 VIP Are you on the list? which I think is a more light fragrance to wear day to day. Don't get me wrong the 212 VIP Rose is one stunning fragrance and should definatley be part of you perfume collection.

you will be able to find the fragrance on Red Square Site (click here) or at any Edgars or Red Square stores

Any good perfumes on the market? let me know :)

Stay Fabulous

Review : Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Hey Lovelies , Happy Thursday

This review was meant to be posted last year already but did not get a chance to do so, anyway so glad I get to do so now. 

It took quite awhile for the BABY SKIN Instant Pore Eraser to reach to South Africa but thank god it did as its such a beauty steal if you on a budget and cannot afford those top brand primers. And how cute is the packaging???? I'm such a sucker for cute packaging so when I finally came across it (sometime early last year) I had to purchase. 

When applying the primer to my face it felt soo smooth and soft perfect for a pre-make up base as it smoothes those unwanted pores on your face. 

According to some reviews I read some was not so keen on the product as they said it made their face oily or its not effective. I find the product to work pretty fine because I can see a difference when applying my foundation or BB cream my face tends to look smoother.

I have tried a sample of the Benefit cosmetics POREpessional and it seems that it could be a better primer but nevertheless I have no bad points on the Baby skin pore eraser. Besides using this primer I do use others in between just to test and will blog about this in the future.

Why give this product a try:

• It only retails for R90
• Great for smoothing out pores and fine lines
• Can be worn alone

I also did not seem to have any breakouts. Let me know on social media or in the comment section below how you find this primer did it give you any breakouts or oiliness.

Instant pore eraser can be found at your local retail stores 

Have a fantastic day.

Getting into 2016

Hey Lovelies

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm rather late hey but damn I'm feeling lazy from the festive season which has long past as things are definitely back to normal in the Mother City.

So I think I've taken January as an extended holiday trying to get myself back together and need to be focused once again as we head into 2016.

Here are a few things I would like to do in 2016:

• Read some books (actual hard copies)
• Take up a new hobby 
• Start doing some form of exercise even if I start out with walking.
• Be more consistent with my blog(hopefully!)

besides those few points mentioned there are so many things I'm hoping to achieve but I will take it one day at a time. 

I thought to get things swinging again I decided to shoot a look post to get myself back into the blogging mode just to keep me motivated.

In my look below I'm wearing these awesome lace up flats from Mr Price that I'm totally obsessed with paired with a retro printed skirt which was given to me along with a plain black basic tee and some gold accessories and my tassel bag also from Mr P that I love to bits.

Anyway I just want to wish everyone all the best with the year ahead and may 2016 only bring you nothing but joy.
