I have a couple of essence the gel nail polishes that I haven't tried yet, but since we are gearing towards Summer I have decided to paint my nails with lucky!
 

Hello Beauties!

How are you all doing today? It's already the second week of September and we are still having the days of Winter in Cape Town.  I think that essence made a smart move to create a cosmetic limited edition called Wake up, spring!, because that's exactly what i feel on the cold days where's the lovely sunshine weather!?

Spring are one of my favourite seasons of the year when I can see with my own eyes how the flowers are about to bloom and the leaves are light green - do i need to say more!?

Hello Beauties,

Time really flies hey and in a way i'm happy that September are here at last. That means only one thing for us days of sunshine and flowers that will start to bloom and the world around us will be beautiful again!

I have to say that i have some good news especially to my readers that are based in Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Myanmar, but sad news to my South African readers.  We all love essence and we all know that next month are Halloween right? Well, essence have a gorgeous range of goodies out, but not for the South African folk. I was so excited when i have read the press release and just to find out that the bootiful nights limited edition wont be released here. 

Hallo Beauties,

To all the lovely ladies today i hope that you had a wonderful Woman's Day today.  I must say that i had a wonderful sunny weather today in the Mother City.

Earlier this month i was in my local Crazy store and i have spotted these cute little Chinese figure nail polish bottles and i just couldn't resist to purchase some of these!

Hello Beauties,

Today on my blog i'm going to write about a product that i thought i would never ever use in my entire life! I'm going to talk about a lip liner, yes a lip liner! I have always thought Is it necessary to even purchase a lip liner it at all?

Well, last week i have made the decision to purchase a lip liner called "Wish Me A Rose" from essence. If you are like me that haven't used a lip liner before  in your entire life before then please continue reading.

Hello Beauties,

How are you doing today?  What i can tell you is everytime i receive a press release from essence i scam quickly to see what new in the nail polish section and then i would look in the lippies section. What are the beauty products that you always look first when you are in the beauty isle?
I must say that here are some pretty awesome goodies that are going to hit the stores this month and i hoping to purchase some of them.

essence stands for trendy, unique and high-quality cosmetics products!
As of April, the new collection is about to become even more attractive with lots of must-have products that are joining the essence range. Cool looks with a wow-effect are guaranteed!

Good Morning Beauties,

Hallo Beauties,

Today was the last day before everything are back in full swing for everybody!  With the Summer that we are having here in South Africa and with the fires that are burning in the Mountainside it just makes the weather so much warmer and that i hardly want to do anything at all.  It's much colder in the late evenings, but then you feel so meh or is it only me that feel that way?

I had a wonderful day yesterday (Monday) i've spend my day at the beach and it was wonderful to celebrate my birthday by eating fish & chips at Mariners Wharf. Spend the early hour walking on the beach with my Father.  I don't know about you, but i just love to walk on the beach. Oh and do not forget about the most delicious Ice-Cream that i've enjoyed. Those that follow me on Instagram would know how delicious it looked - enough said.

Side note: I started wth this post, but then i got ill and didn't had the energy to finish up this blog post.

In the beginning of the month i was so lucky to have spotted the Juice It nail polish collection at my local Clicks.


When i have seen the post in the media regarding this release i just know i had to purchase these wonderful Jelly's!  To be honest it also the first time that i have a jelly collection.  So the moment my eyes spotted them on New Years day at Clicks i just know i had to grab these, since i know they would sell like hot cakes!

 Hallo beauties,

So how was your weekend!? For a changed i could sleep a little late and then I've been doing all sorts of stuff and i was happy and contend for a change - sometimes life can give us a couple of bumpy roads that we have to tackle!

Friday i have promised you on my previous post that i would show you how i have done my Leopard print nail art - step by step.  I have always seen these nail art looks and i wanted to do it for some while myself and with Labello's Blackberry Shine Lip Balm that have hit South Africa it was just the prefect timing to do a Leopard print for my nails.

I have decided do use this nail art design, since we have Leopards in South Africa - Kruger National Park.

Hallo beauties,

Jip, i'm back with another nail art manicure and it's the first one for me this year - i think it's a bit overdue!

So for those that doesn't know i'm a member of this group on Facebook and we all have the same theme it's just that we have our own style or technique.  For today's manicure my style are dots.

I've decided to use the following nail polish colours:

• essence: the gel base coat
• essence the gel wild wet ways [colour intensifier base]
• essence the gel black is back
• Just be gorgeous Aqua Attitude
• Tip Top Matt-nificent

I always use essence the gel base coat, since they are really great and the drying time are great, thus i don't have to wait so long before i can paint my nails. Without further ado here are my manicure for todays prompt.
