Monthly Favourites: March 2012

Once again, this month I have a good mix of new favourites and some re-discoveries as well thanks to the Project-Ten-Pan I am working on so let me get started on which products I have been using the most this month! Starting with skin and body care, this month I have been using Jojoba oil and Witch Hazel to cleanse my skin and treat blemishes and my skin is looking better just in time for summer!...

The Exit Interview Series: Volume #7

This month I've been on a roll with Spring cleaning my make-up/skin care/beauty products and while I have thrown away some bits and bobs (namely tween magazine freebies I've never used) I have been trying really hard to use other products which have been occupying space for ages.  I have also sorted out samples so I can use them as well.  I have also been concentrating on my Project-Ten-Pan...

Review: Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 190 The Nuder the Better and 110 Pink Me Up!

Lately I've been obsessed with lipsticks and the likes and you can blame my obsession on the change of seasons and much much brighter colours that have taken over the dark hues of Winter.  Consequently, I have been buying (read hoarding) a lot of lip products including two lipsticks from the newly-launched brand, Catrice.  I went for two shades from the Ultimate Colour range which is...

OOTD: Spring Gone Nautical featuring Pupa Milano Jeans & Roses Make-Up look re-creation

Hey dolls :) Hope you're all having a fab weekend so far! Today is a very nice, warm, sunny day and I made the most of it by going shopping and afterwards we went to Rabat and Siggiewi for a nice ride in the countryside.  I wanted to share with you my outfit which was quite casual but smart at the same time and I also donned my new pair of loafers and re-created the Pupa Milano Jeans & Roses...

Review: Essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss in 05 I Like Cotton Candy

A while back I purchased some more stuff from Essence Cosmetics, amongst which is this lipgloss.  Till then I had never tried any 'make-up' products from Essence apart from nail polishes and their Stay Natural concealer which is my HG concealer.  This lipgloss was on my wishlist after seeing it on other blogs so it goes without saying that I grabbed it as soon as I saw it on the display...

Review: Born Pretty Store Retractable Powder Brush

You might be aware that BornPrettyStore.com not only sells nail art supplies, but also a large variety of beauty and lifestyle products, amongst which are make-up brushes.  I was given the opportunity to try out one of their retractable powder brushes and I chose this black one with butterfly and flower motifs. The outer packaging is very cute indeed but it is also practical as you get a metallic...

NOTW: Vintage Pastels

Good afternoon ladies :) I've been up since 4:30am today as my brother just left for a short study-related trip to Brussels & The Netherlands.  Since I couldn't get back to sleep, I might as well get on with blogging as I will be busy preparing for my official work interview next Tuesday.  Being Sunday, I thought I'd start with my NOTW.  I have been wearing this pastel combination...

Review: e.l.f. Studio Glitter Gloss in Ruby Raspberry

 Ever since the launch of these new Glitter Glosses by e.l.f. USA, I had my eye on a few of them but I only ended up getting one shade after I have seen/read mixed reviews on them and from swatches, this was the only shade that really appealed to me. I got the shade Ruby Raspberry and since the product is part of the Studio Line, it has very nice, sleek black packaging and I like the transparent...
