Another birthday pressie and some make-up!

Hello my lovelies hope you're all well! So, today I have another birthday present I got yesterday and also a couple of make-up acquisitions. Here are the photos... Yes, another pair of shoes!! Mum got me this pair from the local market yesterday morning and the best part is... it only cost her €2 instead of €18!! How's that for a bargain?? And it's one hell of a pair! I love the abstract pattern...

Review: e.l.f. Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils

Recently, the elf cosmetics UK site has increased their regular line eyes range with 9 beautiful shimmering shades of eyeliner pencils. As soon as I saw the colors, I was like 'I have to have them all!!' Since a free shipping promotion was coming up on their facebook page, I decided to wait for it (I love free shipping as with its cost I can get another product or two!); but until then, most...

Look what I just got!!!

Look what I found in my mailbox just a few moments ago... Montagne Jeunesse goodies :D I love their masques and I am so delighted at receiving not 1 but 3 for free!! Here they are along with a note from the lovely Kayleigh: And last but not least, I also got the most gorgeous and girly birthday card ever from my aunt: Thanks to everyone :D lovely early start for my birthday celebrations :D (actually...

Top-Ten Tuesdays ~ The Body Shop

Another Tuesday... another Top-Ten post! This time, I will share my favourites from The Body Shop. All the images are taken from the Body Shop website except for the bath lilies and lip stuff. *WARNING* Coconut Products overload ahead! 10. Hi-Shine Lip Treatment ~ I like the shimmery effect this lipgloss gives to the lips and apart from wearing it alone, I like layering it on lipstick as well. However,...

5 ways you may be ruining your skin

Just when we thought we had everything in check to take care of our skin, new information surges on how we might be ruining it.  1. Outdated glasses/contact lens prescription ~ anything that makes you squint your eyes is contributing to the development of fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area. I think enough is said here! 2. Steam Rooms ~ extreme heat decomposes the skin's...

Review: Nivea Double Effect Deodorant 24h Violet Senses

Here's another Nivea product which I love... Nivea Double Effect Deodorant 24h Violet Senses.  I have been faithful to this deodorant from the first time I tried it, i.e. around a year ago. As usual, let's see what it looks like! Basically, it is your average deodorant spray bottle, only cuter and more girly! It comes in a convenient 150ml bottle which has enough product to last...

NOTW: e.l.f. Rosy Raisin

Happy Sunday my lovelies :) For the next 3 weeks, my NOTW's will be a bit plain, in the sense that I will be doing like swatches of my latest acquisitions from nail polish world i.e. elf's Autumn Collection. I will then do a review about all of the collection. All four colours are so beautiful I didn't want to 'ruin' them with nail art (don't get me wrong here... I love nail art). The first nail...

Back from shopping :D

Hello my lovelies I hope you had a great day today, and if you had a not-so-great day, I hope you still managed to find something positive in it :)In this quick post I want to share with you what I just bought :D I went shopping at Peacocks for a couple of hours with my personal stylist aka Mum and this is what I ended up getting:The most gorgeous pair of military boots ever!!!! I love the detailing...

Review: e.l.f. Studio Brush Shampoo

I wanted to try e.l.f.'s brush shampoo ever since I got their Daily Brush Cleaner in one of my earlier orders and so, in my last order, I decided to get it. I had like almost a week to play with it and now, here's the review! The first thing that I noticed and I wasn't that happy about, is the size of the bottle. I mean, compare it to the Daily Brush Cleaner, they are both the same price (€4.00)...

Review: e.l.f. Dual Pencil Sharpener

Today I am going to be reviewing my e.l.f. Dual Pencil Sharpener which was part of my first shy order from the elf cosmetics website. The packaging contains two sharpeners, a dual one and a mono one, and they both come supplied in the same blister pack. I will start by reviewing the sharpener I use most, the mono one. Basically it is your standard sharpener, for the normal sized cosmetic...

Eye Make-up according to your Zodiac Sign

Yesterday, while surfing on facebook, something really interesting caught my eye... 12 photos with eye make up for each sign of the zodiac! Here they are (as usual, click on the image to enlarge):I am a Libran and I like the make up proposed here. My faves though, have to be Sagittarius and Capricorn. Which sign do you belong to ladies? Do you like the make up associated with it? Any other faves?Blogger...

Review: Rimmel Eye pencils

Last week, in my first Top-Ten Tuesdays post, I featured two Rimmel eye pencils. I've had these for quite a long time, so now I am able to do a review about them. I bought these eyeliners together as I wanted something different than my usual black and brown and I opted for these gorgeous green and blue shades. The packaging is very similar for both of these where the pencils come with a...
