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!

The Magic Wand -Applicator

The name Stay With Me Long-Lasting Lip gloss by Essence says it all!
How pretty
The texture is so deliciously creamy that it's simply irresistible.
My favorite thing about this lip gloss is that ,it does not leave that sticky feeling on your lips after you have applied it on.Its extremely moisturizing and i LOVE that!
I applied this gloss on at 11am and it is now 3pm!Guess what? This lip gloss is still on my lips ,shiny,moisturizing and with that subtle pop of color .im actually surprised it is lasting so long on my lip.I did not even need to apply a lip balm before i applied this gloss on,its actually a lip balm itself!Im so impressed and much more impressed because Essence products are so affordable and their quality is awesome!Even better than some of the high end products i have tried.INCREDIBLE!

Cotton Candy
Swatched

The special shape of the applicator allows an effortless application.
I got the color "Cotton Candy",It is bright pink in the packaging but it is actually quite light on the lip.

I also must mention the scent of this lip gloss,it really does smell like cotton candy.It has a sweet,fruity tutty smell to it.Gorgeous!

There are so many colors to choose from!Trendy colors are waiting to make your lips pop!

I love this product and adore the brand!
Awesome packaging.
Long-lasting.
Smells Delicious.
Moisturizing.

I only have good things to say :)

Model Inc Fibre Lashes Review

Pretty Packaging In Pink

The goal of this product is to give you long, thick eyelashes instead of going to get eyelash extensions.

It comes with 2 mascaras.1 is a normal black mascara and the other little 1 has like white fluff on it. Instructions are to coat with black mascara then coat with fibre lash and then finally finishing off with another coat of black mascara.They say on the box that you should coat your eyelashes from the bottom to the tip with the white fluff mascara.
I actually feel its better when I apply the white fluff only on the tip...I feel my eyelashes are longer.

Left-No Mascara and Right-Model inc


This is a very high end and pricey product but I think that there are better mascaras out there that cost much less.I guess if you use a an eyelash curler, it also plays a part.I sometimes take my hairdryer and heat up my eyelash curler and my lashes curl beautifully. 
Creating a Review Video 

Very expensive.i have tried on better mascaras which are much more affordable. I bought this from the Rubybox 80% off sale so I was one of the lucky ones to try this product out at such an affordable price.it usually cost R350 and I bought it for R120.
Check the lashes out :)
