How are you all today? The year is officially at an end and as it so happens at the end of each month, here are my monthly favourites. I am also planning to do a series of Best of 2012 in terms of beauty products so let me know if you would like to see that kind of posts. My most favourite item this month has been a fashion item, more specifically a pair of shoes, and even more specifically,...

December Collective Haul ~ Clothing and Christmas Gifts

Christmas is not Christmas if you don't treat yourself to a little something after you have bought all those presents for friends and family right? And that I did! Here are the clothing items I bought this month as well as the gifts I received for Christmas, starting with, two pairs of shoes! The red kitten heels are from New Look and they only cost €16.75 while the shearling boots were from...

December Collective Haul ~ Beauty Products

So, as it is, this is the final collective haul for 2012. I will be splitting the haul in two parts, namely cosmetics and clothes/Christmas presents. First up, two China Glaze polishes from the brand's latest Cirque Du Soleil Collection. The only two that appealed to me were It's A Trap-Eze and Get Carried Away.  The former is a milky white base with tons of multi-coloured glitters that...

OOTD: Burgundy Leather Jacket

Yesterday I finally got round to wearing this leather jacket I have had in my wardrobe for quite some time. We went shopping in Sliema and while I found nothing that fits me, I still enjoyed spending the day out.  The weather has turned chilly these couple of days but it's still sunny at the same time. The jacket is a quite unusual as it has a shorter back and I really like the gold zips...

The Exit Interview Series: Volume #15

This month I have been busy trying to use up more products before I buy any more of the same kind. I am currently working my way through shower gels and body lotions and the likes and I am pleased to say that I used up a handful of products. As usual, here are is the picture and short product descriptions: Starting with Camay Pink Shower gel, I have used two bottles of this shower gel between...

NOTW: Pink Christmas Trees

Hey all :) How was Christmas? Mine was filled with good food, great company and amazing presents as well as a girly manicure which I am going to show you how to achieve in this post :) I wanted something Christmassy but at the same time different, hence I opted for pink Christmas trees :) 1. Start with a base coat to protect your natural nails. 2. Apply two coats of a shimmery pink nail...

Review: Pupa Milano Limited Edition Diamond Deco Collection

Inspired by the iconic movie stars of the 1930's, Pupa Milano have created the Diamond Deco Collection (limited edition).  The collection consists of unique pieces in rich, metallic colours that are very reminiscent of that era. In this post, I will be reviewing the Diamond Eyeshadow 04 and Diamond Eyeliner 03. The eyeshadows in the Deco Collection are presented in a luxurious...

Looking Back On 2012

The year when the world was supposed to end is almost over.  It is needless to say that it has brought with it many ups and downs but the ups were certainly more than the downs. Overall, I can say that it was a year that I will remember for all my lifetime.   To start with, I have been working in my dream job for a year and I am now officially appointed. Although  work can be stressful...

NOTW: Icy Snowflakes

This week I was feeling a little festive and I opted for some snowflake nail art. Snowflakes really fascinate me and it is sad to say but I have never seen one in my life. We don't get snow here in Malta and I don't really like travelling to colder climates so I guess I have to stick with seeing snowflakes on TV and in pictures...an end up re-creating them on nails! This nail art is very...

Review: RevitaLash Volumizing Primer in Navy

Last month I finally got my Meg's Make-up points package and among all the amazing stuff that was in there, there was this tube of RevitaLash Volumizing Primer.  I was quite excited about this product as I know that RevitaLash products are of optimal quality but they can be quite expensive.  Here is what I have to say about this product. Starting with packaging, the primer is supplied...
