Review : UBU Blender Baby Foundation Sponge

Hello my beauty babes, I hope your long weekend was good.

I'm sure all of you heard about the famous 'Beauty Blender' used to apply foundations, creams ect, but for those of us that cannot really afford it, I came across the UBU Blender Baby Foundation Sponge at Clicks Stores for only R99 or R130 if I'm not mistaken. 

I cannot really compare this to the beauty blender because I have not used the beauty blender before but I do suppose it is similar , I did notice the shape is slightly different though but that should not matter.

Anyway, I find this beauty sponge doing its job well as the point of the sponge reaches perfect to the corners of the eyes and around the nose area. The bottom of the sponge is used for the larger parts of the face. 

I also love the fact that you can wash it with some soap and there you goo all cleaned up ready to use again. I will definitely recommend you ladies to purchase it's a real bargain and applying foundation could never be easier.

Have you used the Blender Baby? let me know your thoughts below.

Have a fantastic day further.

Stay Fabulous

Review : Hoola Bronzer and Gimme Brow by Benefit Cosmetics

Hello Beauties and Happy Thursday.

Yay! almost weekend and I know most of you cannot wait till the weekend.

Today on the blog I will be discussing the 'Hoola' and 'Gimme Brow' by Benefit Cosmetics.

To be honest I haven't really heard of Benefit cosmetics until the big announcement of it re-launching in South Africa a couple of months ago , I think about May last year. Anyway going through my twitter seeing many other bloggers who seemed so familiar with the brand and excited of the products re-launching it must of been a big deal! 

After going through reviews all I read was good things and I must say they are correct. I then discussed these super cool products with Mom(She loves make-up) and she seemed all hyped up when one of the assistants helped us at the brow bar at the benefit stand and then we also questioned about the Hoola bronzer as we saw how awesome it was after watching some favourite youtubers. Mom then purchased it and score for me I got to test out these babies.... I must say the products are not that budget friendly but worth the price.. sooo get saving gals. I really want to get some more products from the Benefit brand and working on saving up to get some foundations.

Hoola Bronzer: 

I love the whole matte effect it gives on the cheeks once foundation is applied. My skin tone is fair but find that works good on my skin giving it a warm look. I think this will be great in winter. The Hoola bronzer will also be great for those who love their contouring.

Gimme Brow: 

Oh gosh I really need to learn how to do my brows properly like literally, anyway I decided to kinda do a before and after with the gimme brow brow-volumizing fiber gel just to give you an idea. As you can see in the picture below you can see that it actually fills the gaps and makes it look fuller which I think is great (I haven't used any brow liner to define it and p.s don't judge my undone brows haha.)

   

p.s I will post a full look on my instagram of a full look ..hopefully I'm getting better at doing mak-eup as the days go by haha (I ain't no expert).

These products are available at Edgars stores.

Thanks for reading , have a lovely weekend ahead.

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
