Beauty Bytes – Fab New Makeup Goodies

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.…

Rock Royalty

Loving this shade of Shellac I’m currently wearing. It’s from their new winter collection, a gorgeous deep purple shade called Rock Royalty… I’m totally addicted to Shellac! I have been wearing it on my nails almost non-stop since I had my first Shellac application in January.

I’m absoluteley loving the neon trend for eyes this summer. It’s such a fun-in-the-sun trend and one you’ve just got to try! On the catwalk colour saturated eyes were seen at Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam and Peter Wu. In Hollywood stars such as Rihanna, Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Hudson and Nicky Minaj rocked bright lined eyes.

Eyes are about to pop Top from left: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Venetian Blue, Revlon CustomEyes 5 shadow palette in Party Pops (R160), YSL Ombre Solo Shadow in Topaz Blue (R325). Bottom from left: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Luscious Lime, Inglot Freedom System shadow in LF03CD (yellow) (R69) and Inglot Freedom System Shadow in LF10CK (green)( R69).

Beauty Scoop! NYX is coming to SA!

Beauty Scoop! NYX is coming to SA!

Yay, yay, yay! If you’re a fan of international fashion magazines, girly glossy websites and the best fashion and beauty blogs in the world you’ve probably heard of the makeup brand NYX. Well, ladies, finally this brand is coming to South Africa, and we’ve got Clicks to thank! If you haven’t heard of the brand before, don’t worry you will love it! Take it from a makeup obsessed blogger like me, NYX is a beauty brand you have to at least try! Now, before we get into it, lets get started with the name. A lot of people pronounce it  in N.Y.X. The correct way to pronounce the name is “Niks”. It’s not named after New York, but rather the Greek Goddess Nyx, who is the primordial goddess of the night. At the Clicks beauty launch I went to earlier this month, we got to check out the collection, and I can tell you one thing… Its fabulous! There is a wide selection of beautiful, vibrant eye shadows, colourful liners and gorgeous glitters and glossies. There’s also the “standard stuff” like foundation, brushes, powders and even eye lashes. In other words, it’s a complete range of makeup-up. NYX offers quality cosmetics at attractive…
