Good Day my Loves and happy WEDNESDAY

Today we review the WET N WILD FACE Collection and I cannot be more excited.



I hope you are all doing well and that no matter what, please remember how brave, kind and honourable you are. NEVER let anyone or anything get in your way of being the best version of yourself you can be, also don't let anyone tell you who you are or who you should be!!!




So as you know I am very fussy and meticulous when it comes to a good foundation, there's so many different reasons we as woman wear it. I wear for my skin to seem a bit more even as it is, while still allowing my natural features to peak through like my beauty spots and freckles, then I also want days where my face is completely matte with full coverage and a hint of OLD school glam.

The foundation

With this new formula it's quick drying and the cover is amazing I started off really taking a look at the outside and I was so impressed with the packaging they provided. The foundation comes in a glass bottle with a black hard plastic lid with a spatula attached it's amazing for using little to no or quit a bit of product also it's a step you can skip if you don't want to use your fingers or any other tool like a brush or a beauty blender




Wet n wild concealer 

Okay so here is where I might get a bit wild this concealer might be my be favourite and I am gonna tell you why it's got a plastic packaging case all round with a brush attached for easy and precise application but it looks so so elegant and the finish is one for the books we will get back into that a bit later 


Wet n wild Setting Spray 

For the longest time I have been using rose water to set my face and now I'm learning to try new things especially in summer when we want our faces to look glossy and not dry and pale. This packaging is completely plastic with white and Grey all around and black writing but when I say I've been using this setting spray for aost three months and the bottle doesn't even feel like I used it once yup the spray attachment is honestly the best I've used it evenly distributes the product no problem and really sets your face to a Dewy consistency. 


How I picked my colour



Well at first I went for caramel and I applied it to the bottom of my cheek blending into my neck and I nearly fell over the undertone was way too auburn and I didn't feel like it fit me very well it is possible that it could be a great winter shade because it's only off by a little bit but I didn't want to take a chance so I went for the shade I have now (toffee pecan) and I do not have any complaints 

I took the foundation on my arm and then went and tried concealer shades that were just a shade off from my shade because I didn't want very light coverage under my eyes I wanted it to look absolutely natural and I love how these two products worked together 

My experience 

So going into this I've had high hopes because so many bloggers and you tubers I follow have had nothing but a good experience, but when I tell you how amazed I was please understand that this brand is no joke they really did it for their face portion of their makeup line 

The foundation applies brilliantly with either a brush or a sponge I feel like with a brush I don't lose much product but I do get streaks so I use a beauty blender afterwards and my naked skin looks airbrushed.



When applying the concealer I realized wow this product is no joke with pigmentation so a little goes a long way as well as it dries so quickly I'm needing to either blend really fast or do one eye at a time and highlight there after it's creamy and so easy to blend I've even been able to just wear the concealer alone on days when my skin looks extra tired and it just becomes one with my skin and I look awake and ready to go 


How much I bought it for 

Well will you believe me if I told you I got these 4 products for about R200. 00 Nope me neither 

But I did I bought it over the December period with the huge Christmas special and I got R12 off each product which means these products are so reasonably priced and do affordable and easy to apply even if you're a first time makeup wearer.

So this is no hit to your budget and its a really great way to have a drugstore product make your skin look naturally airbrushed and Takkies&Tulips is here for it. 



So my final thoughts I give this BRAND a 9/10 only because it took me so long to get it and like 3 tries to apply it correctly other than that I suggest that any lady who is looking to up their makeup game in a real way and save money should Definitely get this and Please let me know what you this as well. Do not be scared to try new things newexperiencess will elevate your life.

ALL MY LOVE

ESSENCE CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN MAKEUP REVIEW





Good Day all my Amazing Readers
So how have all of you been doing? Did you enjoy my First Series instalment?


Please let me know of any feedback you may have for me you know I am open to ideas 😊
So, for this instalment I would like to start Reviews, may be with brands, or palettes even snacks. I guess you will just have to read and see 😊


SOOOO Essence is one of my all-time favourite brands, and I have a lot of reasons why, they are inexpensive, their products are good, (well 90% of the products I have tried), they are easily accessible and have something for everybody. A few no no’s is they don’t have a wide range for darker skin tones, they do have darkening drops but I hope they will start launching products with more options for ladies from all over the world, embracing all kinds of skin tones. I wouldnt mind if they even started a Skin Care range. They have a real great number of products, some which are not available in South Africa Yet, but one set that was, was their Christmas Campaign/Limited Edition Launch AND I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a makeup fanatic, I have been obsessed with finding new cute products, that I can add to my collection and have them for a long time. And this set was a major deal, its my first Launch that I have bought which relates entirely to a season, as Christmas being my favourite season of the year, timing could not be any more perfect then when it was right then.

Let’s Start 🏃

The Entire Range

In all honesty I just stumbled upon this Christmas range at Dischem and thought I would check out the esssence Facebook page to see if I could find the Products, turns out it Launched at the end of november and I got my Hands on 3/4 products that were available.
the Range consists of a

  • Highlighter Brush with Mini Candy Canes inside
  • A Single Highlighter (I didnt purchase it cause it was too light for me) 
  • An Eyeshadow Palette 
  • A Stampy nail art kit 
  • A Ornament ball lip gloss 



Here is a screenshot of the range, I have still seen the Stampy nail art kit available but didn't purchase it either I prefer my nails pretty plain for the most part. 


What I Purchased


These are the 3 items that immediately caught my eye so i took it as fast as I realised what it was, I see on ESSENCE UK site how many amazing Palettes and Gadgets they have got so when I see an item has finally reached our shores, YUP I am riding that boat no problem.

The overall cost of these items was Under R300.00 and for me that's a bargain because they are surely a collectors item especially the Brush its so nifty and cute. Really Suits the holidays and I have not stopped using it since. 


My Experience

This eyeshadow palette for right now is one of my favourites, its so pigmented and easy to blend. There are a total of  9 Shades 3 Matte Shades, 5 glossy/light shimmer shades and 1 loose Glitter shade. I loved how with one palette you can create sof or heavy looks and building these eyeshadows were so easy. My favourite is the left bottom corner its like a glitter multi coloured tinsel and I AM HERE FOR IT!! 








The Highlighter brush is really dense and fluffy it makes it easy to use an easy to clean its such a breeze when the product can always work with you and in this case I give this BRUSH a 10 and an Extra 5 for being the cutest brush in my collection.

The Lipgloss ball is just wow CUTE!!!! Although I don't find myself reaching for it very often, it does give a cute tint to the lip but it can be a fuss to carry around. The formula is creamy and not overwhelming at all  


Favourite Look I created with the Christmas Range




SO if you have seen my posts on social media you would see this look all over it, I created the look for my Close Friend Kariens wedding and it went off like a freaking bomb, I used all 3 Matte shades then blended the bottom two burgundy shades and then took the lighted shade and added it to my lid and then I took the GLITTER or ALLLLL GLITTERS and I put it in my tear duct. YUP!!!!

For all my other face details please head to my Instagram @takkiesandtulips.


OVER ALL I love Christmas and I loved that this was an early Christmas gift to myself so far I am not disappointed with my purchase, and I hope it will inspire you to maybe make your own new looks using colours you have never tried before.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY LADIES and hers to every wednesday of February being our new meeting Spot.

Til next week

ALL MY LOVE
