Friday Find - She Wolf Products

Last week the lovely Priya from Purple Sparklez let me in on a little Durban secret that I've been told not many people know about! If you like me were not one of those lucky ladies to have received the makeup storage last week then I am guessing that you like me have been drooling over all these pics on the net as every beauty blogger has started filling theirs up. And although the makeup storage is really not that badly priced when I hear there is a competing company out there with competitive pricing then you best believe I am gonna check them out!! I contacted them immediately to get the low down and the lovely Nadine was more than willing to spill the beans.

A little bit about this company: She Woolf products was founded in 2013 by Nadine Singh and is based in Durban. They are stockiest of the most stunning acrylic makeup organizers in different sizes and have been personalized with the most amazing diamond handles. They also have their own branded cosmetic line as well as eyelash extensions, makeup brushes and hair extensions. They deliver anywhere in South Africa, their aim is to create a clutter free beauty environment. 

Now I don't know about you but when I hear personalized and diamonds in the same sentence you instantly have my attention. And after having a nosy around their website and Facebook page I am now left with yet another lust list to add to my long long list of beauty products I NEED in my life to carrying on living you know. So far though these makeup storage drawers are very high on this list (I need that clutter free environment they keep talking about *cries)

Wishing Wednesday with Essence and Catrice

Essence and Catrice have some amazing items that have launched recently and I cant wait to get my grubby little hands on all of them!!

MAC A Fantasy of Flowers Mineralize Blush in Petal Power

MAC released two limited edition blushes as part of the Fantasy of Flowers collections for Spring (released here in SA at the end of Summer, yep not the best timing there MAC). Azaleas in the Afternoon part of the pink collection, which is a light powdery frosted pink and I think more for the pale girls. And then Petal power part of the green collection, I'm guessing is more for the medium to dark skin types because this blush has insane pigmentation. Allot of people are describing Petal power as a dupe for the Nars orgasm blush but I honestly cannot give my opinion here because I haven't even laid my eyes on that coveted blush yet.

That being said the first comparison that came to mind when I saw this blush was that it is very similar if not the exact dupe for Chanel's blush in Reflex. But after using it for a couple of weeks now I can honestly say that they are not dupes for each other and in fact are two separate blushes all on their own, both of which I believe every girl should own.

MAC describes this mineralized blush as a coral pink with gold shimmer. Now the first thing I want to point out is that this blush is insanely pigmented. It is a bright warm coral with warm orange and pink undertones and a golden frosted finish. Again I would like to point out that the golden sheen is also very prominent and does emphasize your pores somewhat. This blush has amazing color pay off and maybe its cause I have medium skin but I didn't experience any of the powdery effect that allot complained about. These are baked blushes and even with one or two sweeps across the compact gave ridiculous payoff, so the art of blending comes into play here. Like all their blushes it comes in a round black plastic container with a clear lid so the product is visible even while closed. I didn't think I would love this blush as much as I do, in fact I love it more than my Chanel (GASPS) but the Chanel has more of a glittery sparkle rather than a sheen and this is what I love. I love the warm coral color and also that the golden sheen acts as a highlighter as well so its like using two products at once which is always a bonus for me. It is really easy to both blend and build and lasted around 4 to 5 hours on my combination skin.

MAC has a winner here, my new all time favourite aside from my Chanel Christmas blush of course! You can pick this up for R245 at counters that still have stock, because this sold out in hours when it launched.

Wishing Wednesday with 27Pinkx

If you like me were amongst the few that did not get to attend the 27Pinkx event at the One & Only Hotel, then believe me when I tell you that I know how you feel! I've been sitting here jelly belly for days now!!! The fact that we couldn't attend was one thing, but then we all had to drool over the Instagram pics of all the food and amazing ladies that attended and then of course lets all be honest here the gift that they all got to take home was the most amazing makeup storage container I have ever seen!! You know the things dreams are made of I desperately need one of these storage in my life I might not be able to fill it up right away but just think of all the shiny new things I could get to fill it up with hahaha now I am left with a 27Pinkx lust list that I am in dire need to tick off!!
