Review : WHAT A TINT ! Essence Lip and Cheek Tint

Hello Ladies , 

How are you doing ? I hope you good and well. 

Today on the blog I will be reviewing the Essence What a Tint -lip and Cheek Tint and honestly I'm obsessed.

Firstly it's a 2 in 1 😀 what a bonus! As you all know I love love anything blush related or products that will give your cheeks some colour. 

I like the pigment it gives off on the check and lips, especially on the lips I love it because it gives my lips the perfect shade that I'm really happy with I think it's perfect.

I used the benefit Tint and also think they similar and the essence one does exactly the same job for the fraction of the price. I would definitely purchase this again and would rate it 9/10 . I love that it gives off a natural look for lips and cheek.

Why you should purchase this product :

• Affordable 
• 2 in 1 
•  Gives off a natural look

Retails for R87.00 and can be found at clicks , Takealot , Edgars , Woolworths and even online.

Stay Fabulous

Mai Thai Wellness Spa

 Hello , 

How is everyone doing? I hope you good and well. I know some of you may be feeling on the edge lately , so I thought this post might come in handy especially if you are from Cape Town and need a moment of self love and relaxation. 

Let me introduce to you Mai Thai Spa - Inspired by traditional wellness massage rituals and botanical recipes from both Thailand and Africa, they offer a variety of internationally award-winning therapies at affordable prices to enhance your beauty and wellbeing. 

We were kindly gifted a voucher from a friend , so myself , two sisters and mom had a lovely girls spa day and opted for the De-Stress Massage - back , neck and shoulders . 

Wow , when we arrived and entered the spa you could immediately feel the calm aura and warm welcome. We then filled out forms and was sent to the Thai garden inspired waiting room before our massage treatment. We relaxed to the sounds of water, beautiful greenery and calming music. I also loved that you have access to WIFI while waiting , but I was in total Zen mode I didn't fidget much with my phone at all, just closed my eyes and enjoyed the peace. 

It was just 30min massage but it was soo good I could say it was definitely the best 30mins ever and well needed for sure at the moment.

Here are some pictures below , don't you think by just looking at the images you feel instantly relaxed?

\Loved the fact that they offer something after your treatment.

They Offer Treatments like: 

• Massage Therapy
• Facial Therapy
• Grooming and Waxing
• Manicures and Pedicures
• Body Therapy

Visit site to see more treatments and deals https://www.maithaiwellness.com/spa-menu/

If you ever visit cape town and feel you need to spoil yourself get yourself a spa treatment or want to gift someone something I would 100% recommend a spa voucher your friend/loved one would thank you over and over again trust me. I also think the prices are very reasonable. 

I would definitely go back to this particular spa again it was a 10/10 for me.

Review : The Body Shop Hand Creams

Hey Beauties , 

Hope you are well and good. Today on the blog I will be discussing hand creams and I felt I had to share them because they smell so devine and I honestly love them ... They are from The Body Shop. 

I like the fact that they can fit into a bag without taken much space and my favourite thing is that they smell soo devine. 

My hands are currently in a extreme dry state cracked and not looking good at all after using this cream for a few days I can see a difference , my hands seem more nourished. 

If you can I will suggest you get from these at The Body Shop 😉. The packaging might differ to my picture because I only started using them a short while ago but I had them a while and only got to share my thoughts now.

They retail for about R95 and can be found at The Body Shop Stores/Online or Clicks

First Impressions:

I love how beautifully modern the phone looks. I like the fact that it has a glittery type background too , so it looks very chic. I am a content creator so the first thing I look for in a phone is at least a good enough camera quality and I must say I was impressed and its decent if you looking for a phone that good enough to get started on your content journey. What I also loved is how quick it takes for the phone to charge and how long before it takes for the phone to die and I'm one that is every 5min on the phone checking all my socials and uploading content or playing games.

Here is some photos I took (Indoor and Outdoor Settings)

More about the VIVO Y03

Really loved that all regular apps was already downloaded on the phone and it came with all the standard accessories such as charger , phone case , USB cable. I find the phone great as it comes with everything you need to do your daily tasks.

Essence Baby Got Blush

 Hi Beauties , 

Hope you are well. On the blog I will be discussing one of my favourite items that is always part of my very very simple make-up routine. I'm not one to really to dive into heavy make up routine but one thing for sure is that I must have my blush... So introducing the BABY GOT BLUSH in tickle me pink shade.

My thoughts

what I love about this particular blush is that it can easily fit into your bag and form of a blush stick and the fact that you don't need to carry a brush on you and that you won't need to worry about powder getting all over. This also the first time using a cream based type blush.. I really love the effect of the pink and is a blush that I would definitely buy again and will sure be a staple buy. I was really intrigued and had to hop on to buy it. I'm really eager to get the bronze one too. I rate this product 8/10 it does the trick to add colour to my face.

Available at Clicks , Dischem and Online , Retails for +/-R85

Please share your favourite blushes below I would love to know what you are using.

I bought a few Essence products and you will sure see it on my socials so make sure you are following me.

REVIEW : Fujifilm INSTAX PAL

 Hi Everyone

Today on the blog is another Instax Review .. this time the INSTAX PAL. I was so excited when Instax wanted me to test and review this particular one. 

First Impressions :

Small , Petite and Adorable for me that would firstly describe the Instax Pal. I loved how small and cute it was. It is something totally different to the other Instax devices I tried out . Something new , something compact and different.

Trying Out the Instax Pal :

I loved that I could fit it into my bag and it not occupying much space. I went on a mission of mini golf with my fam and we could capture our moments easily especially group shots and offers wide angle feature and my favorite thing about the Instax Pal is that it can store up to 50 images that you can look back on and decide to print later on. I also love that it has a self-timer for approximately 10 sec which gives you a moment to get picture ready.

Final Thoughts :

For those adventure type people that is always on the move and perfect for spontaneous moments. I love that the Instax is easy to travel with and not taking up space and you can legit take it anywhere. The only thing I did not like was the way it captured in certain light settings but it does do its thing where there is direct sun and proper lighting, but overall I like it.

Also note that you must have the INSTAX LINK series to print your photos after use.  

KEY FEATURES 

• Snap and print
• Remote Shooting
• Fun sized 
• Wide Angle lens
• Pre Shutter Sounds 
• Bluetooth transfer

As much as I love fashion ,beauty and so on I'm also a homeware / items lover I also do love anything that has to do with home decor or things to make the house look and smell good.

My opinion on the diffuser fragrance is a solid 10/10 and who doesn't love OUD scent. Oud has been making waves in body fragrances and not surprised taking over the home space as well.

 Hey Everyone 😀

Firstly Happy New Year ! can you believe we in the year 2024 already? crazy ! 

I'm sure wherever you are you are somewhat settled and feel that back-to-norm vibes have crept in already. 

On my side I still feel a bit on holiday mode, I think because the weather is so hot and it still gives those summer vibes you know..my days recently have been filled with loads of visits to the beach and sunsets which I absolutely love.

I've seen this trend going around In's and Outs for the year lets give it a goo 

INS

• creating>consuming
• drink more water
• reading more 
• learning a new recipe / being the kitchen more 
• blog more (haha I really want to try this year)
• more walks / sunsets 
• getting more creative 
• some form of exercise 

OUTS

• consuming > creating 
• too much screen time (very hard but got to work on it)
• comparing 
• not being organized

I would like to add more here but I really need to think about it but it was fun making that ins and outs list... lets hope I can stick to it haha 😂 

but anyways ... I hope everyone have a good year ahead , because of course there will be curveballs along the way  but we have to be positive and hope and trust for the best.

To those that are new here WELCOME , my name is Nabeelah a blogger from Cape Town . I blog about anything from beauty reviews , I love skincare and fashion , and a bit of lifestyle  content here and there..oh and also showing off my beautiful country.  

How is the start of 2024 going for you at this moment? What are one of your ins and outs?  Wishing you all a prosperous year ahead and loads of blessings💓
