Like, Love, Longing for...




1.      Essence gloss stick : This is the newest item in my makeup bag, I recently wrote an article on my “First Impression” of this product so if you’d like to read about it more extensively I’ll place the link down below. I like this product, I really do. There are so many shades to choose from, Glossy or Matte the world is your oyster. The gloss stick which I have is in the shade “Clear Nude”, It’s super wearable and such a beautiful winter shade which I’ve been wearing practically non-stop. I will be perfectly honest though, the only reason as to why this product didn’t cut it onto my “love” list is simply that when I made the purchase it looked to me as it was a twist gloss stick BUT it actually needs to be sharpened. It doesn’t so well in that department, Other than that I think I’ll keep using this product.

2.      L’oreal Telescopic Mascara: My mom was the one who placed this product on my desk a few weeks ago so this was totally by accident but it definitely makes it onto my ‘Like’ list. The packaging says ‘Extra-black extreme lengthening mascara’, they weren’t joking. I’ll usually use this when I’m getting ready for a night out because it makes your eyes pop. One coat and you’re ready to go, you really get extra length and volume so a little goes a long way, not to mention that it really stays on, removing it is going to take a little extra Miceller water but I do think it’s worth the purchase.

3.      Victoria’s Secret, “Total Attraction” fragrance mist: Alright so for those of you who follow my blog, you’ll know that I’m a tad bit coco for cocopops over this brand so I knew that this fragrance was going to end up being a favourite from the get go. Let me just start off by saying that the new fragrance mist packaging is to die for, It’s so classy looking and just Ah, yes I love it…Not that the previous packaging was terrible because it really wasn’t but I do think that this is a step up from what it was. The scent I got this time around is called ‘Total attraction’ and to me it smells of strawberries but upon doing abit of research it actually has tones of, Cherry orchid & Lily Blossom’s, so not far off. All in all this brand still remains affordable and a definite favourite in my books.

4.      Sally Hansen, Miracle gel top coat: I’ve worked through a number of top coats in the past ranging from good to pretty ‘blah’ but this has quickly become one that’s pretty great. My nail polish usually doesn’t last me longer than about three days as i wash cars and dishes (not very conducive too great looking nails, I know) but when I purchased this product I found my nail polish lasting between five and six days. A definite repurchase in my eyes #Like

5.      Colourpop Lippie Stick, Tootsi:  This will be my first Colourpop purchase and I am so incredibly excited about it… I’ll be making the purchase from a company called ‘MuseSA’ (I’ll place the website link below) they sell a variety of makeup brands which we cannot get our hands on yet here in South Africa. I’ve ordered my lippie stick in the shade “Tootsi”. I’ll keep you posted on the service I receive and will most likely do a “First Impressions’ article on it as well. Keep an eye out

6.      Urban Decay: If you haven’t heard yet then here it is, Urban Decay is coming to South Africa ladies and gentleman #HappyDance The stand alone store will be opening up in Sandton city, Johannesburg in Mid-May 2016. I cannot wait to see what it will look like and get my hands on some of their aweseom products!
