Pretty Coral

The color is a glossy coral pink that is semi opaque.
When i saw this lipstick online at Rubybox,i thought it would be a bright coral but when i received it,it was a very light,natural glossy coral color. It does have a shimmering effect to it.

For me personally,i cannot wear this lipstick on its own.I usually apply lipgloss over it just for a pop :)

It is moisturizing and i have dry lips so it works great.I love the way it just glides on your lips.I love the creamy formula.

Swatched

Its a very sheer color,you can rub it 10 times and it will still appear on your lips AND even better!

The color does not show as much if you have pigmented lips but if you really love the color then dab some concealer on your lip and glide on Splendid :) 

Natural on the lip

Nice sheer colour for Spring or Summer.Appears to be a bright coral but in fact,it is a very light coral that gives your lips a glow.

I bought mine from Rubybox at a bargain for only R64.

What a breath of fresh air.
Essie products are so gorgeous!The one i am going review today is called "French Affair"

‘French Affair’ is an pale girly pink with cool undertones and a cream finish.This is a stunning nail polish.To be honest ,in the bottle ,the color did not excite me.After i saw my mums nails,i decided to give it a try because it looked so pretty on her nails.

I tried it and FELL IN LOVE! Its baby pink tone is so calming and pretty.
I love that it dried very quick but also,thanks to the help of Revlon Nail Care quick dry spray! After i painted my nails,i sprayed the 60 seconds Revlon Dry spray and it really does live up to its name! It dried in no time :)

                                           

I received so many compliments while wearing this color.i love the shine that the Essie polish gives my nails.

Essie retails at R99.95
The color lasted me around 4 days.
I applied 2 coats to avoid that streaky effect.
It was a little streaky and patchy after the first coat but was fully opaque after the second.

I love the Revlon Dry Spray especially when you are in a rush and need your nails to dry really quick!

I used the Avon Glitter polish which is around R30.Its in a small bottle but is actually lasting me for a very long time! 
Totally worth the buy!
