Beauty Blogger Tag


Hello Beauties,  

I decided to do this Blogger Tag that I found on Sweetaholic Beauty Blog, for you to get to know me a bit better :)

So, let's start;

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is naturally straight and sometimes it is annoying since it doesn't hold curls, and after two hours I end up with wavy hair instead of curly hair.


2. What is your natural hair color?
Naturally, it is ash blonde. However, at the moment it is a redish kind of color. 


3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I prefer to go to a salon instead of doing it myself even it entails paying more. I am somewhat wary of doing it myself. 


4. How often do you wash your hair?
I wash my hair approximately 3 times a week. 


5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
It depends on the occasion and were I am going that day. During the week I wear Office-Wear since I work full time. Then if I am going out in the evening I like to wear smart casual type of clothing. 


6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I do my own mani/pedi, I never went to a salon. The reason for this being that I don't have the time to go to a nail salon every two weeks. 


7. How often to you change your nail polish?
I don't apply nail polish regularly. I like my nails natural and also it is not healthy for your nails to always apply nail polish. 


8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
Hmm, I almost never polish my toes neither in Summer and much less in Winter. 

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
It depends on were I'm going. If I am going to work it takes about 15 minutes. If I am going out it takes about 30 minutes. 


10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I always start face first. First concealer, foundation, then I do my eyes, and last step I apply powder to set everything. 


11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
I loveeee makeup, I collect it. 

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Only on special occasions, since they irritate my eyes. 


13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
No not everyday. I do a full face of makeup only when I am going out.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
No, I hate wearing makeup when I'm at home.  


15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
No, never. 


16. How many high end products do you have?
I think none. The most high end products that I own are MAC products. 


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Every 3 weeks. I know I should wash them more often, but sometimes I am too lazy to even bother lool. 


18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
During the week, I just decide then and there. However, I plan every outfit for the weekend during the week. 

19. How often do you change your handbag?
Almost never. If I like a handbag, I stick to it till it falls apart hehe.


20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I get up at 6.00am and sleep at about 11.00pm


21. How often & when do you workout?
I workout 3 days a week, and also it depends how tired I am after work. 


22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right handed!


23. How tall are you?
Average height. 


24. Do you speak a foreign language?
My mother language is Maltese. Foreign languages that I speak fluently are, English and Italian. 


25. How many pets do you have?
Persian Cat called 'Carina' :)


26. How often are you on Blogger?
Lately it has been quite hard to keep track of my posts since I am busy with work, however I try to be on Blogger at least once a week.


27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?
Yes, of course. I love receiving and reading all the comments :) 

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
No I don't. If I watch a video pr read a post about a new product I prefer to research about it then and there.

Cheap E-Bay Finds


Hello Beauties,

I have been browsing e-bay quite frequently lately and I found inexpensive beauty items that otherwise would cost more, especially here in Malta.

I hate it when I put my hair up in a ponytail and the hair tie leaves my hair creased. I have been seeing these types of Crease less hair ties for quite some time; however they cost about 1 euro for only 1. On e-bay they only cost 2 euro including shipping for a packet of 5, which I think is a great deal. On the same lines of creased hair, I also found Fringe Grip Velcro Sheets. These are ideal for keeping your hair back whilst doing your makeup and also whilst cleansing your face, and the best part is they do not leave any crease in your hair. These cost 1.25 euro including shipping for a pack of two.

Of course, I could not help it but search for false eyelashes. These normally cost between 5 to 10 euro for a pair or mostly two pairs. However, from e-bay I found a ten pair pack of false eyelashes for only 4 euro including shipping. Although they are cheap they are good quality and are hand-made. The only disadvantage is that they took quite some time to arrive because they were sent from China; however their quality and inexpensive price compensated for that.


What are you e-bay finds? And where you satisfied with your purchase?

Take Care,

Until next time
