ebay Haul: 10-Pan Empty Palette

Good morning ladies! My morning lecture had been cancelled today so I headed back home.  Well, the postie delivered my 10-pan empty palette that I ordered from ebay a few days ago.  Here are some pictures of the packaging and the palette itself: As you can see, it was wrapped in a very cute way with the ribbon and all and there were two layers of bubble wrap around the palette.  In...

EOTN 26/02/11: e.l.f. Everyday Brights 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette

Ahhh what a nice sunny day today here in Malta! Unlike yesterday night -_-, which is the reason why after  I applied make-up and got dressed up, me and my bf decided to stay in at mine.  It was freezing cold outside so we figured staying cosy inside with my family was a much better option.  We grabbed some take away (actually Dad and Johan braved the cold) and since my brother was...

NOTW: Inspired from my bedroom upholstery :)

Good morning everyone :) This week's design was actually inspired by the curtains and upholstery in my bedroom. I hope you like it and if you're interested in learning how to do it yourselves, just keep reading! 1. Start with a clear base coat and follow with two coats of a nude pink colour.  I used L'Oreal Resist & Shine Titanium in 100. 2. My curtains have lilac, mint, grey and...

A little present...

You may probably be aware that I had won one of the Lipstains Gold up for grabs in a Christmas giveaway from R8Beauty.  Well, to this date, there is still no sign of it :( I contacted R8Beauty and they tried their best to track it down but sadly, they didn't succeed.  However, the ever so sweet Jasmine (aka Oxford Jasmine) kindly sent me a little brown box which I got today and when I opened...

Tag: How much is your face worth?

Here's a fun tag that I saw on Stavroula's blog.  You just have to basically write down the products that are on your face the most often and their prices to see how much your face is worth! Here goes! Skin Care Nivea Visage Refreshing Cleansing Lotion                                        ...

Mid-Week Beauty Master class: Eyeshadow

Hey all! This week we will go through the different types of eyeshadow avaliable and which ones are best suited for the different skin types.  Like foundation, eyeshadows need a primer underneath so as to make them last longer and boost the colour.  For more information about eye primers, please click here.  Eyeshadow is perhaps the fun part of the make-up routine as it helps...

Nail (art) related haul, nail polish swatches swatches and a few clothing items...

Today I have a collective haul for you cupcakes!

NOTW: The 50's Red Manicure... vamped up!

It's Sunday once again and that means another nail tutorial! This time I opted for something plain but classy... the 50's Manicure.  In the 1950's, many women used to wear another version of the classic red manicure.  It is essentially the same look, except that the half-moons at the base of each nail are left unpainted.  Instead of the traditional red, I have used a darker nail polish...

Request: How To Compile Your Work Portfolio

I was asked by Enigma to share my tips on how to do a work portfolio and explain in further detail what it is exactly. Since I am staying in tonight thanks to the bad weather and Force 8 wind blowing all the time, I figured I will do this post and as tomorrow I have a client to go to, what better time to have a look at my portfolio?  The only works I didn't include are the nail designs involving...

Review: Inglot Under Make-Up Base

I had been lemming this make-up primer for a whole year before I got round to purchasing it! The lovely ladies from Inglot offered me a complimentary make-up session and the make-up artist started with this primer and I instantly loved the texture of it on my face as well as the results it delivered.  Last December, I had been offered the same opportunity for a free make-up session and I went...
