Monthly Favourites: April 2012

April is over too and that marks my end-of-month appointment to share with you my favourites for this month! Let me start with a few things about life in general first. I have started my driving lessons in the beginning of the month and I still can't believe I haven't started before! I must admit I was very scared of driving but I really shouldn't have and I am really looking forward to each...

April Collective Haul

Time for yet another collective haul! I'm going to start with some exciting purchases (for me at least)! So, Essence Cosmetics have launched their Marble Mania Trend Edition along with another two Trend Editions and I really want to get the blush from the Marble Mania Collection so I went to a pharmacy in Senglea but the owner told me that the collection was sold out :( However, I managed to get...

The Exit Interview Series: Volume #8

I'm so excited to bring you this month's instalment of the Exit Interview Series as I have used up a lot of products! I cleared out expired medicinals and beauty products in the beginning of the month and while I didn't take a picture of all the junk, I gained a much better insight as to which products were nearing the end so I could use them up and de-clutter. So let me start straight away! Nail...

Review: Essence Multi Action False Lashes Effect Mascara vs Get Big Lashes Volume Boost Waterproof Mascara

Today I will be comparing two mascaras from Essence Cosmetics which I recently bought and have been using almost everyday.  After my favourite e.l.f. mascaras arrived all clumped up even though they were sealed, I didn't bother repurchasing or asking for a replacement but instead, I went ahead and bought the Multi Action False Lashes Effect Mascara from Essence while I was checking out some...

OOTD: Shopping on a Sunny Saturday Morning

Last Saturday, I went shopping (again!) with Johan and my brother. I didn't plan to get anything in particular because we were only going for some bits and bobs the boys needed but you will have to wait till I publish this month's collective haul post to see what I got.  Anyways, since the sun is finally shining everyday, I am starting to wear some of the new spring/summer pieces that have...

Review: Catrice Intensif'Eye Wet & Dry Shadow in 010 Black or White Swan?!

Catrice Cosmetics, the more professional sister of Essence Cosmetics, has recently been introduced in Malta and as soon as the first stand was set up, me and some of my fellow blogger friends headed over to get our hands on some stuff.  I had already picked out two lipsticks and a gloss and I was debating whether I should get this eyeshadow or not but just before I was going to pay for the...

OOTD: Mdina Medieval Festival on Sunday

Yesterday was such a lovely day and since me and Johan were both off work, we took the opportunity to enjoy it as much as we could! So we headed to Mdina, the Silent City as there was a Medieval Festival going on and since we are both history fanatics, we never missed it! Mdina is also one of my favourite places on the island and I never get tired of visiting this magical place.  I wanted to...

NOTW: Arabesque design for Easter

Hey dolls sorry for not posting much this last week but life got the better hold of me and also, the Holy Week is my favourite time of year so, needless to say, it was full of going out and whatnot.  Sadly, yesterday we didn't celebrate Easter like past years due to bad weather... we usually have a procession in the morning with the statue of the Risen Christ but yesterday it was so windy (and...
