5 Favourites Friday ♥

1. LUSH Butterball ♥ About R35 - This plain white bath bomb from LUSH doesn't come with the extra bells and whistles like most of their bombs do. But this has a lovely scent and leaves your skin amazingly soft and super moisturized. It's kind of like taking a milk bath.
2. Cocolife Coconut Water ♥ R14.99 - This coconut water is my new favourite thing. I can't get enough of this healthy drink. It's 100% natural coconut water with no added water, it's high in potassium and made from young succulent green coconuts. This has a creamy coconut taste - so delish. You can get them at Spar, Wellness Warehouse & Dis-Chem
   
3. Wasabi Dough Coated Peanuts from Woolworths ♥ R14.95 - I love wasabi peanuts and these are extra yummy as they have a dough-like coating. I also like that these aren't blow your hair back hot.
   
4. Revlon Lip Butter ♥ About R100 - I've had one of these for a while and they are by no means new, but I love how smooth these are. I have the sugar plum shade and it's a gorgeous rich plum colour. These glide on your lips, feel hydrating and have decent pigment.
5. Lucky Rodrigo Hamburgers  - I recently tried the burgers at Lucky Rodrigo in Pretoria. I love the vibe of this place. It has a Cape Town vibe and the burgers are yummy. I also wanna try their Steri Stumpie milkshakes and their footlongs.

{I've Tried That} ♥ Stila Smudge Crayon

This Stila crayon is a 3-in-1 and works as a gel-based waterproof eye primer, shadow & liner.  The colour I chose is called "umber" and it's a beautiful, wintery maroonish-brown colour that Stila describes as Chocolate brown with a hint of purple.  It's a rich, warm shade that that has a deep color payoff with a creamy texture. It glides on effortlessly and smoothly and delivers pigment in just one swipe. These crayons are Vitamin-E enriched, feel soft on your lids and appear to be crease-resistant.

I've been using this as a liner and due to the thicker tipped pencil it creates a bolder, bigger line. But with a bit of sharpening (and wastage) with the built-in twist off sharpener (how cool is that?) you can create a sharper point and therefore a neater, thinner liner look. I've also been using it in my waterline and it works beautifully there and cause it's so soft and creamy it's very gentle on the eyes, but still stays put for a good few hours. These adhere to your lids quite quickly and don't really 'smudge', so in my opinion don't really work as a shadow/primer. Is this crayon waterproof? Hmm, not sure. I never wear waterproof products, but had no problem with this running or shifting.

Gorgeous colour payoff, gentle on the eyes, no tugging and a creamy, smooth texture. They are available in various shades for R210 at selected Woolworths & Truworths stores.

{Better late then never} 5 Favourites Friday ♥

1. Bee Pendant from Sass Diva ♥ R85 -  I loved bee's and ladybugs and this necklace is right up my alley - it's a pendant (my fave) and it's a cute li'l bee. The side in the pic is actually the backside of the bee, but I prefer it to the yellow side. ;)
2. Mini Marshmallows from Woolworths ♥ R9.95 - I was looking for these for ages and I finally got my hands on a pack. These are an absolute must for cold nights when you're drinking hot chocolate.
   
3. Pale Blue Skull Scarf from Woolworths ♥ R120 - I'm obsessed with scarves as well as Skulls. This also comes in a bright orange colour. They're quite big so they look gorgeous and keep you warm.
   
4. NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Pigment in Mink ♥ R44.99 - This is my second loose pigment from NYX. You can read my original review over here. I'm loving this new colour - it's a pinkish gold colour that is so pretty as just a sweep over your lids. I got this in my April Bandwagon Box.
5. White Mesh Inset Shirt from Mr Price ♥ R79.99 - I adore how versatile a casual white shirt is. I love these paired with a collar necklace, a pendant necklace or a scarf. They work on their own or with a blazer or biker jacket. They can be worn with any pants or a skirt. This one from Mr P is cute cause it has a bit of a mesh piece over the back shoulders.
