Beauty Bytes – Fab New Makeup Goodies

Here’s a quick beauty byte on some of the amazing new makeup goodies I’ve been playing with recently. Tried, Tested and LOVED (as always)! Woolworths Makeup Wink, Wink, Blush, Blush! Woolies have launched an exciting new range of makeup that’s bang on trend and budget friendly! Some of the goodies I got to try: WINK Eyeshadow trio (R49.95) and BLUSH lip & cheek tint (R49.95). The eyeshadow I got to play with, Khol Maybe is absolutely stunning. I’m in love with the burgundy shade on the right and the khaki green on the left is also gorgeous. A great combo for winter! These WINK shadows are highly pigmented and great for adding metallic colour to your lids. In general I don’t like using the applicators that come with compacts, and prefer to use my MAC 217 blending brush to create a blended shade and my MAC 239 brush to pack on the colour.  You can even amp up the intensity of these shadows by dipping your 239 brush in a drop of water before packing on the colour. This will make your eyes pop! The BLUSH lip and cheek tint is a lovely cream blush that diffuses effortlessly on the cheeks and adds a perfect pop of colour to your lips.…

Stila Convertible Colour Dual Lip & Cheek Cream Review

Stila Convertible Colour Dual Lip & Cheek Cream Review

I am such a sucker for pretty, glowing cheeks (think Naomi from 90210), and the best way to achieve this gorgeous look is with cream blush. I have been on the hunt for a pretty cream blush for ages, and have finally found my perfect match! Thank you Stila for coming to South Africa and allowing us to get our hands on your gorgeous range of goodies! Stila Convertible Colour Dual Lip and Cheek Cream is the perfect cream blush that also doubles as a lip gloss. Each shade comes in a colour coded compact to match your cream blush. The compact is small, super light and comes with a mirror; making it ideal to pop into your handbag for a quick touch up! There are five beautiful colours available to choose from in this range. My favourite three include Gladiola (peach), Poppy (berry) and Peony (pinkish brown). The product goes on flawlessly and blends into your skin like magic, giving you that perfect pop of colour! You’ll  notice that the Gladiola is very bright, but once you apply and blend it into your skin, it turns into a pretty peach. And that pretty much goes for all three; the colour intensity blends…
