They look and smell so beautiful and what’s even more incredible they have nourished my skin and improved the texture, look and feel.

K-Beauty is a skin care regiment designed by beauty experts in Korea. Korean skincare is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. It’s a daily routine rather than one-off treatment. It’s also a set of products than an individual item. It’s a trend That will never get old. @brillcomm

Books, PR and Gratitude

Started reading two books. One I like and the other I’m not enjoying as much. Can you guess which one I’m not enjoying as much? I’m not enjoying “The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*CK” by Mark Manson. So far I’m finding it negative, pessimistic and the writing is all over the place. I’m at the beginning so I will let you know my full thoughts when I complete the book. As for the book “You Are A Badass” by Jen Sincero, so far I’m liking it a lot. It’s more positive and humorous.

How is your February going? I’m working on new project ideas and new art ideas. I’m enjoying watching my kitchen slowly transform. I’m enjoying my matcha vanilla tea from David’s Tea. It’s so good. I’m also loving my “grandpa cardigan” that’s what I call it but it’s not. I bought it on sale from Mark’s. MOSSY OPEN CARDIGAN. Loving my Avon cozy slippers. The slippers were gifted to me last Christmas and yes I love them and they keep my feet warm and cozy.

Here are some amazing goodies that I won on IG! Please Join me on IG if you like @Bestdayblogger.Beautiful Cards by Carlton Cards on Twitter. Beautiful Face masks from SooAE Canada.

Essence Cosmetics Fall & Winter Makeup 2017

I’m very excited to share Essence Cosmetics Fall/Winter makeup. The Fall makeup is really beautiful and natural. The products can be used for a soft look or dramatic evening look. Very versatile and beautiful for every skin tone.

This is the Essence Eye & Face Palette in 01 Glow For It. I really love the pigmentation and colours. They are absolutely beautiful. They blend nicely and are perfect for everyday and evening. They last all day and I love that this palette also has a lovely highlighter and cheek colour.

This is the Essence BLUSHPLAY Sculpting Blush Palette in 10 Play it Peach. Very beautiful and gives a healthy look to the complexion. Beautiful peach colours! They are really lovely and give the skin a healthy look.

The Colour Correcting Sticks are fantastic for helping the complexion. The PURPLE 05 Say no to tired skin is a creamy colour correcting stick that eliminates dullness & harmonizes skin tone. You apply it directly on imperfections and blend it. Then there is the Liquid concealer in 10 Pastel Pink. This really helps with dark circles. The GREEN 04 say no to redness helps neutralize redness. You apply on imperfections and blend. Very creamy and easy to work with.

Here are my favourite lip glosses. Definitely my October Favourites! Matt Matt Matt long lasting lipgloss in the colours 03 Girl of today, 02 Beauty Approved! Also a clear gloss, 01 behind the scenes.

Top swatch is 02 Beauty Approved, Second swatch is 03 Girl of Today. Last one is the clear one.

This is the Essence all About Matt fixing compact powder. All about matt is extremely smooth waterproof fixing compact powder for a matt and natural finish all day long. Helps to blend blush and foundation colours together. Fixes make-up when applied as finishing powder for all skin types.

This is Essence instant MATT make-up setting spray. Oil-free and non sticky. It is very lightweight. It keeps the makeup in place all day and It doesn’t feel like you have anything on. It’s lovely matt spray. You can also use this as a primer.

This is Essence Waterkiss lipgloss lip colour. This is in the colour 05 Ocean Girl. This feels very light and it has a liquid formula that feels light. At the same time it is pigmented and doesn’t stain the lips. It feels like a stain formula but comes off easy. It doesn’t have the same consistency as the Essence glosses. This formula has more of a water base sensation.

The Honey Care smells so good! I really love the scrub. It really exfoliates nicely and smells so delicious. The hand cream is wonderful as well. Very hydrating and moisturizing.

I also have Essence Strobing Highlighting eyeshadow base. A fantastic base that gives a lovely highlight to any eyeshadow. It also helps the eyeshadow from creasing. Essence Strobing Highlighter Stick. Love this highlight. Goes on so smoothly and softly. Looks amazing and doesn’t have glitter. A beautiful illuminating light. The Essence Make me matt lip top coat is brilliant! If you have a drying matt lip product you can just add this on top and it will give a little hydration to the lips without changing the formula. Brilliant! The Cover Stick is fabulous! I have the colour 20 matt sand. It is soft and creamy and blends nicely on the skin. The metal shock lipstick in the colour 02 GUNS’N ROSE is the prettiest pink ever! Absolutely breathtaking metallic lipstick.

This little eyebrow kit is perfect! I absolutely love it and love how small and compact it is. These work brilliantly and are amazing to keep in your makeup bag. They are little but they work really nicely! The tweezers grab the little hairs perfectly. Amazing for travelling and on the go.

I love a beautiful French Manicure and these tips really help create the perfect French Manicure look. Very stylish and classy. They are super easy to use. I haven’t tried the stand out 3D Touch Manicure sticker yet but they look fantastic! I’m excited to try them.

These are brilliant Cooling and relaxing eye pads. You just place these in the fridge for one hour and then let the pads cool and relax your eyes. Perfect for tired eyes.

My favourite mascara at the moment. I love Lash Princess mascara and this is the sculpted volume. It works so nicely and I love the amazing volume and length that it gives my lashes. Definitely one of my October favourites!

I have two Essence pencils that are absolutely soft, creamy and long lasting. The Essence 01 Light Up Your eyes inner trim eye pencil, which is also wonderful to use all over the eyelid or even as eyeliner. Also the eyeliner in 18 Berry Merry is a beautiful berry colour.

Here I have a few makeup Looks Created with Essence Cosmetics Fall Winter Collection.

Thanks so much to Essence Cosmetics for the beautiful samples. I’m truly grateful and I adore everything!
