Review : Essence Beauty Products


Hi Beauties

On the blog today I talk some lipgloss, lipstick and eyeliner. About a few weeks ago TakeaLot had a hibernation sale and immediately I headed to the beauty section to see which Essence products were available(great bargains). I've been going essence crazy lately(expect more essence reviews), I think the products are amazing and super affordable and I love exposing such brands to my readers because it does not burn a hole in your wallet.

Everybody has been raving about Nude lipsticks, eye pallets ect ect so I thought lets try some nude products out, oh and to those who love the cat eye look there is such a fab eye-liner from ESSENCE that you must get.

My thoughts below...

Essence XXXL Long Lasting Lipgloss (06 Soft Nude): 
I love the fact that its nude but in my opinion it did not quite fit my complexion and feel that it would go better with someone who has a lighter complexion to me.I also didn't like the MATT effect that it gave but maybe another shade would do.

Essence long lasting Lipstick (06 Dark Nude):
I'm not really a lipstick person but this one sold me over compared to the lipgloss because it made my lips look natural just the way I like it. 

Essence 2-1 eyeliner pen:
In the pics below you will see the thick part of the pen looks almost like a highlighter tip 'flat based' which is more easier to apply which is great and the thin part of the pen is more 'koki like' also easy to apply. 





Thanks for reading, let me know if you love nude make-up products and also let me know which other cool essence products are great, Although I'm not an expert in make-up I enjoy learning about it and experimenting trying to find myself to adapt to beauty products its fun.

Stay Fabulous

I've Got That Navy Feeling

Hello All

I hope you had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. 
About a month ago I purchased a Bodycon striped dress by Mr Price ,when I got to the till I was even more happy that it was marked down 'yay me'. I love the fact that it is so fitting for the weather because Cape Town seems to be only really having winter now. I also think its a great dress all year round. I paired a navy tights also from Mr P under the dress because it was a bit chilly and my jacket from Mango which I'm finally wearing(have it almost a year and only wearing it now, you must be thinking whaaaat?, I know right #hoardermuch)  I went all navy in this particular look I guess I was in the mood for the colour Navy as always. 













Tip: If you feel like dressing a bodycon dress up a pair of heels will look good with it or some funky boots and a leather jacket for a chilled look.

So what do you think of my look? How do you style your bodycon dress? let me know tweet me a pic, leave me a comment I want to know :) , oh before I forget to all you incredible women Happy Women's Month. 

I see that MR P Online has the same dress still in stock but in the colour black (click here) and its priced to go (yesss bonus for you too). They also have some other funky bodycon dresses available go have a look on their site.

What I'm wearing:
Dress : Mr Price
Tights: Mr Price
Jacket: Mango
Ring: Gifted
Bag : China Town
Sunnies: Market
Sneakers: Nike

Review : SH'ZEN Recovery Shampoo and Intensive Recovery Mask



Hello Lovelies.
I hope you had a lovely weekend and ready to tackle the week ahead. Today is all about a product I've been using SH'ZEN Recovery Shampoo and Intensive Recovery hair mask which was given to me by my Ma to test out because I constantly complain to hear that my head is either itching or so. I must say I have those seasons where my dandruff is just bad or maybe its just my psoriasis acting up(seriously need to stress less lol). I agreed to try it out as I do not really have a set shampoo that I use.

What I think about the products:
  • Seems to give my hair a little more body than my regular shampoo (which is organics).
  • The fragrance is amazing.
  • Leaves a fresh sensation to your head when applied.
  • Hair seemed to be less tangled and the brush moved freely through my hair.(Due to the mask used before I shampoo'd) 




I hope you enjoyed this review let me know what you think if you have tried it and if you should try it leave me a comment I would love to know if it works for you.

Happy Monday. 

Stay Fabulous
xoxo
