Essence mini haul

Its been a while since I bought any makeup , that's why I am excited by this mini haul I purchased earlier this month. 
I decided to buy all this products online because I find it easier in terms of finding stock availability in stores.

I also find that online stores are cheaper are cheaper and as usual I bought all the products on takealot.com

This is what i got:

This is a repurchase  because I lost my old one, I love this soft shade so much that I mostly just wear it on its own like a lipstick.

A must watch : The night of

Photo cred: Pinkpot

One of the best shows that I have watched this year has to be The night of
I was really struggling to find a really good show  since the last episode of Game of thrones ended aired.

I had heard about this show a few times online I wasn't really sure I should try it , 3 episodes had already aired by the time I started watching. 
This is by far one of the best shows I have watched in a while.

It's a mini series about a young Pakistani-American who is accused of a young girls murder.

Nazir Khan plays the part very well,  it's hard not to feel sorry for him in this situation where all the evidence points towards him and everyone is trying so hard to put him behind bars for life.

One of my favorite character is Nazir's lawyer who starts of being interested in the case because he believes it will be a big pay and improves his career since no one seems to take him seriously. Eventually he starts caring and looking forward to Nazir who is in an impossible situation where all the evidence points to him considering he was caught red-handed with the murder weapon.

It's also interesting seeing how the character changes and grows in order to protect himself in jail.

A must watch.
