I'm back, after a stressful month of studying and exams :) Hope you are all doing well.<br />
<br />
In this post I wanted to share with you the products I have used up during the first half of the year 2014, my thoughts about the products and if I would purchase them again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First off, I used up two Boujois Healthy Mix Foundation in 'Light Vanilla'. This is my holy grail foundation, I have purchased it again and I do not intend to switch to any other foundation. If I'm not mistaken I used up 2 more before these, I use it everyday because of work. It takes care of my sensitive, oily skin and does not grease up during the day, which is perfect especially in the Summer months. They have revamped the packaging from a plastic bottle to a glass bottle, which I prefer much more and also it is affordable.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next, I have used up MAC Cremesheen Glass in 'Deelight' which is a nude pinky colour. This was my favourite go to lip gloss, in fact I used it almost every day. I would purchase it again, if only there was a MAC store in Malta... keep on dreaming Jess...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
An Essence product I used up is the Long Lasting eye pencil in 'Black Fever'. I was impressed that for such an inexpensive product it lasted for so long, I think for a whole year. I really liked this pencil, very pigmented and stays quite some time on the waterline. I may purchase it again if I find it on the stand since this is quite a popular product.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next is the Colossal Mascara by Maybelline. At first I liked this mascara however it dried out quickly. It has a large wand and it does create volume to your lashes. However, I prefer trying out other mascaras instead of buying this again. To be honest, I was not that impressed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last but not the least is a mineral compact powder by Artdeco. First thing that I noticed is that the packaging is reusable. When the compact powder has been used up you only need to buy the pan, all powders should be like this, it saves a lot of money both for the company and for the consumer. In terms of the product itself, the lightest powder still had some colour, therefore it is not a translucent powder. I really hate when sales persons tell me, "yes this is a translucent powder" and then when I open it the powder still has colour, because of this I am not going to repurchase it.<br />
<br />

<br />
For the last month I have been trying out this new product that I found at our local Supermarket. To be honest I bought on a whim but it turns out that it is a good product.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmb8duSAM_3pVcQBtsWi19gqvvaWElw7L7JRW_jYEXE6gImVjt9RjSkJ9Xe9uJRJN7-U_s7FHqTTPIOnYDYsLHLNi-2wZHcioW6wfJLxhpF3gR15bdJfAjnl2aKGS2ybFpKubbi1Z8yns/s1600/collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmb8duSAM_3pVcQBtsWi19gqvvaWElw7L7JRW_jYEXE6gImVjt9RjSkJ9Xe9uJRJN7-U_s7FHqTTPIOnYDYsLHLNi-2wZHcioW6wfJLxhpF3gR15bdJfAjnl2aKGS2ybFpKubbi1Z8yns/s1600/collage+1.jpg" height="160" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This product is eye discs which are already saturated with eye make up remover. All one needs to do is to place an eye disc on one eye for a few seconds, until the formula melts away the make up. Then you wipe it away a few times. I use the other side for the other eye. The benefits that this product has are that the formula is natural made up of Green tea which cleanses excess oil and Biotin (Vitamin H) which helps keep lashes strong and nourished.<br />
<br />
Another benefit is that it does not sting, does not contain alcohol, and has a very nice smell. Another thing that I noticed is that after I opened the product the discs have not dried out, have remained moist.<br />
<br />
In terms of price, it is an inexpensive product and it contains a lot of discs which will last quite some time.<br />
<br />
Overall I am going to stick to this product with regards to eye make up remover.<br />
<br />
Have you tried this product or anything similar?<br />
<br />
That is all for this post,<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<br />
I know, this post has been long time coming, I am swamped with lectures, studies and work at the moment and it is only now that I found some time to blog.<br />
<br />
As some of you may already know, last February I was invited to attend the Catrice Spring Launch and we were given some products to try out.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Face Products</u></b><br />
<br />
The first three products are:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYGHB605KxTRFXKoQHaq0fplxEIckAb-xyFHOwr-LqxS-nVpt4rA_BEo5550sHQpWgJx3FVymJ8jknFaklgmcsVdu6tvowqlN5rhk-sJOC9khNOVsQ2KxuiKqO0rFENKexWTyXJ9HCU0/s1600/Collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYGHB605KxTRFXKoQHaq0fplxEIckAb-xyFHOwr-LqxS-nVpt4rA_BEo5550sHQpWgJx3FVymJ8jknFaklgmcsVdu6tvowqlN5rhk-sJOC9khNOVsQ2KxuiKqO0rFENKexWTyXJ9HCU0/s1600/Collage+1.jpg" height="133" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
1) <u>Colour Correcting Primer</u>: I have yet to try this product out. However, as a first impression from swatching it; it has a green colour to cancel out redness, as its name implies, and it also claims that it is oil free. Which is perfect for oily, acne prone skin and also during the Summer we sweat much more, so an oil free primer is perfect for that time.<br />
<br />
2) <u>Translucent Powder</u>: At LAST I found an authentic translucent powder. I cannot tell you how many times I purchase a 'translucent' powder, then I open it and I find that it is coloured powder. <b>To all Make up companies: Translucent means transparent and not with colour.</b> Thank you Catrice for this powder, I really like it and I use it everyday to set my foundation. It did not break me out and my skin remains matte all day.<br />
<br />
3) <u>Shimmering Bronzer</u>: I used it the first time last week and I was quite impressed. To be honest, I was somewhat sceptical to try it because I thought that my face would result in being all shimmery and sparkly. However, this bronzer has very fine small shimmers that barely show up, which is perfect for me. Also, it is not that dark, it just creates a sun kissed glow which I look for.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Eye Products</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Now on to the eye products:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijwdCiDHDqnoS9tmAnaeXmx2fXzePTpvv-Vc1HlQL9F4eiWxuYcpUa3OkV-LhKEzHkhD_4MA0M7X1Z2o_y3L8WIpvBkDAIJCnwl6wrsBxr6CPfF0zWmqNipPZGJD8CRcjILHuRgCzZGnE/s1600/collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijwdCiDHDqnoS9tmAnaeXmx2fXzePTpvv-Vc1HlQL9F4eiWxuYcpUa3OkV-LhKEzHkhD_4MA0M7X1Z2o_y3L8WIpvBkDAIJCnwl6wrsBxr6CPfF0zWmqNipPZGJD8CRcjILHuRgCzZGnE/s1600/collage+2.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
1) <u>Absolute Eye Colour Pallette in the colour 'F'rosen Yoghurt'</u>: I have used this pallette several times now. I almost use it every time I go out. It is perfect to create a subtle natural cranberry look and I find that these colours really complete my eyes. Shadows are pigmented and are quite long lasting. Also, it has a combination of matte and shimmery shadows in it which I rarely find in other pallettes.<br />
<br />
2) <u>Absolute Bright Highlighting Pallette in the colour 'Candy Warhol'</u>: I use this pallette to highlight. It is a great idea to make a pallette with highlighting combinations to match every eye look.The only downside is that the eye shadow's texture is chalky and after a while that I apply it, it is not there any more.<br />
<br />
3) <u>Set of Single Lashes</u>: I have not used this yet<br />
<br />
4) <u>Glamour Doll Curl & Volume Mascara</u>: I use this mascara everyday, so I tested it out quite well. It claims that, as its name implies, it curls and volumises at the same time. I have not seen that. I found that it lengthens my lashes and curls them slightly but in terms of volume it fell flat. Also, when I take out the wand from the tube, its like there is no filter at the top to take away the access mascara from the wand, so I almost always end up smearing the mascara on my lid.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Lip Products</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
1) <u>Ultimate Colour Lipstick in the colour 'Red my Lips'</u>: I have not tried this out yet, however when I swatched it, the colour is very opaque and creamy. Looking forward to try it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2) <u>Infinite Shine Lipgloss in the colour 'Pink Twice'</u>: I applied this lip gloss the first time exactly after the event ended, in my car :) Love this lip gloss, vibrant colour, perfect for Spring. Also, has a nice smell and is very long lasting. An additional upside to this is that it is not sticky.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYRsxkg3L8mJwZqGXA82hbgi0n7nGS0I8fT38r9pgblpW5QJUxBVc2h3jWBXpZYLk5XEvrCIHx21awITFBF-YeQXtURgv5eDUpm9c_L1D8fC6gX6Rs_WXij4kwoH22oeZZCquxeb_4Q0/s1600/collage+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYRsxkg3L8mJwZqGXA82hbgi0n7nGS0I8fT38r9pgblpW5QJUxBVc2h3jWBXpZYLk5XEvrCIHx21awITFBF-YeQXtURgv5eDUpm9c_L1D8fC6gX6Rs_WXij4kwoH22oeZZCquxeb_4Q0/s1600/collage+4.jpg" height="160" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3) <u>Made to Stay Smoothing Lip Polish in the colour 'Megan Fuchsia'</u>: I also use this product almost every time I go out. It is long lasting, bright colour and its finish is like a lip tint. After most of the colour is off, your lips are still stained so no need to reapply as much.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>Nail Products</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Received 3 nail polishes. I only used the pink one since it is ideal for the office and everyday. The other two colours are more vibrant and one of them is glittery. From the one that I used, it lasted for almost a week, after the third/fourth day it started to chip.<br />

<br />
Last Thursday I was invited to a Catrice PR event which was held at Level 22 Portomaso. I was sooo excited when I received the invite in the mail, I could not wait for the day to arrive.<br />
<br />
At last it did, and I headed out all fancy and groomed up for the event. To be honest, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect...<br />
<br />
When I arrived I was greeted with a flute of champagne. The first thing that I noticed was the stand full of Catrice make-up... could not stop staring of course.<br />
<br />
As soon as I saw camera flashes, I knew immediately that that was the 'bloggers' corner', so I went that way. I sat on a vacant seat and some new bloggers, whome I never met before, introduced themselves to me, and from then on it was make-up make-up make-up.. These ladies are: Charlene from <a href="http://acosmeticaffair.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Cosmetic Affair</a>, Maya from <a href="http://bluejeansandredlipstick.com/" target="_blank">Blue Jeans and Red Lipstick</a>, Claire from <a href="http://clairecaruana.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">This and That</a> and Lyndsay from <a href="http://splashes-of-looks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Splashes of Looks</a>. Check out their blogs and follow them :)<br />

There were a couple of new Collections on display that have been launched recently. The first one that I noticed was Celtica Collection, which seems to me very Spring oriented with pink and coral shades.. angelic like if you may. The next one is Eve in Bloom, which I think introduced Wintry type of colours but still at the same time bright. I will definitely check these out at one of Catrice's stands.<br />

At the end of the event, we were all given a goodie bag (stay tuned for a haul next week). I could not wait to see what there was inside. As soon as I arrived in my car I had to check and was so happy to get some of the products which I had been eyeing all night.<br />
<br />
Thank you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CATRICE.Malta?fref=ts" target="_blank">Catrice</a> for inviting me and for the products that were given.<br />

<br />
Hope you are all doing great :)<br />
<br />
I have decided that instead of listing my favourite products for the month of February, instead I share my favourite make-up look that I have been wearing almost all month. I seem to have lost my appetite to experiment with colours and I'm sticking with the same 3 eye shadows.. it's quite strange. Have you ever felt like this?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnHCYukFayFc96EO9Djk0kA-RLOPNx9trhCqBOJ6kltp7ms0AoqAMULrQ625Ci7340ag3MEpRiWbCVOSoVTj4kIh-bcmheA5E1ipkE3UccoWR7YT2ZdHpFzWoULx_4brMJyJpbrXt-VU/s1600/collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnHCYukFayFc96EO9Djk0kA-RLOPNx9trhCqBOJ6kltp7ms0AoqAMULrQ625Ci7340ag3MEpRiWbCVOSoVTj4kIh-bcmheA5E1ipkE3UccoWR7YT2ZdHpFzWoULx_4brMJyJpbrXt-VU/s1600/collage+1.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now, on to the make-up look:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDa5sShyphenhyphen-YHa6QaDlMBn66_-CvvXrMJYFpCVfQm-PEdkK7iVUSxRbqV74yT4dE1fGptDLZJk4IQ_VN_y00iiZ4nghuXetm6DRlXnIU8O53ClPcWL_EdUDF4jHYS7PgoMvMA_VpQ559suI/s1600/edit+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDa5sShyphenhyphen-YHa6QaDlMBn66_-CvvXrMJYFpCVfQm-PEdkK7iVUSxRbqV74yT4dE1fGptDLZJk4IQ_VN_y00iiZ4nghuXetm6DRlXnIU8O53ClPcWL_EdUDF4jHYS7PgoMvMA_VpQ559suI/s1600/edit+5.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a>First, I start off with Catrice eye shadow in the shade 'Icylicious' from the Ice Cream Collection that came out last Summer. I use this all over the lid, and also as a highlight under my brows.<br />
<br />
Then, apply a black Nee eye shadow in the outer corner of my lid.. lightly and not in a smoky eye motion. Just to deepen the look.<br />
<br />
Last step I apply a transition shade, in this case Makeup Store eye shadow in the colour 'Ghetto'. This shadow has been a favourite of mine for the past year.. love it.<br />
<br />
The only thing that I am changing is my lip colour. Sometimes I apply a bold colour, other times, like in this case, I apply a natural shade. In the below picture, I paired my eye look with a Cinecitta lipstick in the colour '74'.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4VmJIj_oD_ww5VmGivQ-_xEsiDbnO0QJLX5vMfHGmSOzDwsO7WqUJsKajbn_fp18YInvWszGqEv-iontGfYVFEp64UwiuhVr_L6LG-TsrwFSgwPBQo2nJLt0CaQm6N-7ZMnx_W9t3j0/s1600/edit+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4VmJIj_oD_ww5VmGivQ-_xEsiDbnO0QJLX5vMfHGmSOzDwsO7WqUJsKajbn_fp18YInvWszGqEv-iontGfYVFEp64UwiuhVr_L6LG-TsrwFSgwPBQo2nJLt0CaQm6N-7ZMnx_W9t3j0/s1600/edit+3.jpg" height="122" width="320" /></a><br />
What is your favourite make-up look?<br />
<br />
Do you like experimenting with different colours?<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Removes approximately 90% of makeup, which is more then the majority of inexpensive makeup wipes that are available in the market</li>
<li>Removes also waterproof mascara</li>
<li>Dries out small pimples and spots immediately. It also prevents from more spots to be created. This takes place because of the zinc and chamomile that are contained in the ingredients. </li>
</ul>
<div>
The only thing that I did not like about these cleansing wipes is that the wipes themselves are quite small for my liking. However, I can accept this, because of all the benefits it resulted in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They can be found in the majority of Supermarkets, if not all. I bought them for about EUR4.50.</div>

<br />
I'm back :) sorry for the lack of posts lately, however I have been quite busy with exams and catching up with my family during the holidays.<br />
<br />
During this time of year the majority of us start compiling a list of new year's resolutions, and promising ourselves that they are going to be kept in the forthcoming year, although this may not be the case in reality ;)<br />
<br />
Personally, I try and keep them as much as possible, however mid way through the year these promises are forgotten, sometimes intentionally :/<br />
<br />
This year I am only going to do one new year's resolution. I am not the most organised of persons and sometimes my room is like a war disaster zone haha. So, today I woke up determined to clean it up, especially the shoes section in my wardrobe, bags section and jewellery section.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Jewellery Section</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I had this earings stand for over 4 years now. I decided to change it since it does not really go with the rest of the room. The one I chose is acrylic, holds not only earings but also rings and small bracelets.<br />
<br />
The majority of them, I arranged them according to the colour, however some of them are too long and had to put them elsewhere.<br />

<br />
As a few of you may already know, a few weeks ago, together with several other Maltese Beauty Bloggers, I was invited to attend the official launch of Lierac Products here in Malta. I also attended the introductory seminar last June, after which I posted about the concept that these products are based on and the type of ingredients used in manufacturing them.

<br />
During the event, my guest for the night, Gail, and I were given a few products to test out a few of which I am going to review in this post.<br />
<br />
1) <b><u>Demaquillan Purete Face Wash</u></b><br />
<br />
The first thing that I noticed about this product is the packaging. I like the fact that it has a pump so there can be better control on how much product is being used.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMf3ZH3pNKg0onDGIJed81tUVWlUOoyp-9kiut59PJnYSHf2mtVOz8l1llCOkW8QmJnwBFq0W6zuAHsKinrssE0yJEslBopcSuyQsuoT39m3WBdHphHAQU6bx9nQonm0xNSngcR46CUy4/s1600/edit+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMf3ZH3pNKg0onDGIJed81tUVWlUOoyp-9kiut59PJnYSHf2mtVOz8l1llCOkW8QmJnwBFq0W6zuAHsKinrssE0yJEslBopcSuyQsuoT39m3WBdHphHAQU6bx9nQonm0xNSngcR46CUy4/s320/edit+4.jpg" width="162" /></a>It has quite a musky smell which is quite unusual from the typical fragrance of other products. It does not bother me that much since it does not linger on the face after using this product.<br />
<br />
I use this product at night mainly to take off my makeup. I have to say, it takes off every trace of makeup and leaves the skin squeaky clean. However, I feel that it is a bit harsh for my skin since it is very sensitive. Of course, I use a good moisturiser afterwards. This might not be the case for other skin types.This is the reason why I use this product only at night. I do not think that it has done anything special with regards to my acne, however the benefit is that it eliminates all the dirt off my face.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Overall opinion</u></b>: I think that this is a very good product and I would recommend it to those searching for a new face wash. It is not the cheapest of products, however a little goes a long way and it will last quite some time.<br />
<br />
2) <b><u>Luminescence Serum</u></b><br />
<br />
After using the above mentioned face wash, I apply this serum. I really like its consistency, it feels like silk on my skin whilst applying it. Although it is a serum, it does not grease up my face, my skin remains matte but feels moisturised at the same time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62awPi_dcvMANEV1DrNim4xuOk_Qy1if_QvMZq_CtjbWSi_Ze9b2auJ1AVkIWQDLuoiAUNbwanTyeU2sNO_PPnaiNSsIJucASj6mU8-g5A_6XSraeLA26g8oP6mbSfwbnsqz8U6lPJzs/s1600/edit+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62awPi_dcvMANEV1DrNim4xuOk_Qy1if_QvMZq_CtjbWSi_Ze9b2auJ1AVkIWQDLuoiAUNbwanTyeU2sNO_PPnaiNSsIJucASj6mU8-g5A_6XSraeLA26g8oP6mbSfwbnsqz8U6lPJzs/s320/edit+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<b><u>Overall opinion:</u></b> again I would recommend this product for those searching for a new moisturiser. I think this serum is suitable for every skin type.<br />
<br />
3) <b><u>Mesolift Serum: Radiance Booster (what my friend Gail thinks about this product)</u></b><br />
<br />
"It felt tingly at first, but it wasn't long enough until my face started to feel more vibrant and energetic. I recommend this product for those feeling stressed and tired due to the negative effects they relinquish onto the skin. The thing I really like about this product is that it enables the face to feel revitalised and moisturised at the same time.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCcZf2zNwqbmmhyStFdW07Utc8Phck2_c_A5xsdoE5KLjmhByn8rrgnzG_Q2ts_rm_Z7wYoUFSZowyUt-NGFPABqFJFSjwwylDMKYWpMaiY6Nb-T5Oc3mXnc8upxvNt4wRYFaWbXeM4k/s1600/edit+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCcZf2zNwqbmmhyStFdW07Utc8Phck2_c_A5xsdoE5KLjmhByn8rrgnzG_Q2ts_rm_Z7wYoUFSZowyUt-NGFPABqFJFSjwwylDMKYWpMaiY6Nb-T5Oc3mXnc8upxvNt4wRYFaWbXeM4k/s320/edit+3.jpg" width="252" /></a>In terms of packaging I really liked the fact that it comes with a pipette, enabling one not to waste product and use too much. This serum contains a variety of vitamins and minerals which is what the skin needs. This results in hydrating the face and making it more healthy.<br />
<br />
It has a citrus smell which I personally liked and did not linger on the skin for very long after I applied it.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Overall Opinion</u></b>: I highly recommend this product to those who experience skin fatigue and any one aged 25 years and over since it contains 'hyaluronic acid' which helps with face elasticity and hydration, therefore it is a great to prevent wrinkles from developing. However, any person with sensitive skin should first consult with one's personal dermatologist with regards to the use of such a product. With regards to pricing, it is not the cheapest but it definitely promises satisfactory results."<br />

<br />
A couple of weeks ago I attended the Lierac Launch event and I created a blue yellow make up look that I'd like to share with you all :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-N0HchVdnw9jdmtk_H6YFwzJdnWtpgELr0ZaydukGeifNzK3nvXOXKeP28AFhMX3r3L2ZgTgwXAld5jpUiocNzpL2PudYbwmG1_QKB6yV8Adhqkc3pr22PfKUVvc6e2L9kN4HVlO6co/s1600/edit+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-N0HchVdnw9jdmtk_H6YFwzJdnWtpgELr0ZaydukGeifNzK3nvXOXKeP28AFhMX3r3L2ZgTgwXAld5jpUiocNzpL2PudYbwmG1_QKB6yV8Adhqkc3pr22PfKUVvc6e2L9kN4HVlO6co/s320/edit+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Step 1</u></b>: Applied NYX Jumbo eye shadow pencil in 'Peacock'. I use it as a base for the eye shadow colour to be more vibrant and last longer.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 2</u></b>: Applied Make Up Store eye shadow in 'Aquarius' on top of the previous product, only on half of the eye lid. I applied it in a patting motion so that the colour is as vibrant as can be.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUoz20heScxHq_oMPhJp-QOBcLhWkE4nCrfFCHwU-z7CCA0k1dSfFfxtVPx4omiYphincfXYSLdohQBvXSRhXViC9LKBC-XqyESiNGB_e1fat4fPKIhQlwmq9ni_nHaMcbs1K9FLGr7I/s1600/edit+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUoz20heScxHq_oMPhJp-QOBcLhWkE4nCrfFCHwU-z7CCA0k1dSfFfxtVPx4omiYphincfXYSLdohQBvXSRhXViC9LKBC-XqyESiNGB_e1fat4fPKIhQlwmq9ni_nHaMcbs1K9FLGr7I/s320/edit+2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<b><u>Step 3</u></b>: Next, applied Catrice eye shadow in the colour 'John Lemon' on the remaining half of the lid and blended the colour with the previous one so that the line in between the colour is reduced as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 4</u></b>: To create some depth to the look I applied another Make Up Store colour in 'Ghetto' in the crease. I've noticed that I use this particular product almost every time I do a makeup look. I consider it to be the perfect transition colour for a smoky look and also to match with bright colour, as is in this case.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 5</u></b>: Applied Nee eye shadow in 'Black' in the outer V of the lid and slightly smoked it out.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 6</u></b>: After eye shadow is complete, apply your favourite eye liner and mascara.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 7</u></b>: For the lips: at the moment this is my favourite combination, XXXL Shine in the color 'Nude Kiss', and NYX soft matte lip cream in the colour 'Milan'.<br />

<br />
A couple of weeks ago I decided to try out the make up cleansing wipes by Good Things. I thought, if the other products that I've tried have resulted to be so good, then these wipes will be as good. However, I did not like them as much:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgiSqYGV6_rxw8YSSbP0fYKEnblDhpx0Z43aBg_sDVgyiFpDfEAaEz7dldjgxJy08qdxJMtoPxa8vH3RNrBjsWm97DCG_Ny9rDOzb6h-xVywRtmzu7hw-sio_U5Se-I6LSa8W9hbcQloI/s1600/edit+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgiSqYGV6_rxw8YSSbP0fYKEnblDhpx0Z43aBg_sDVgyiFpDfEAaEz7dldjgxJy08qdxJMtoPxa8vH3RNrBjsWm97DCG_Ny9rDOzb6h-xVywRtmzu7hw-sio_U5Se-I6LSa8W9hbcQloI/s320/edit+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><u>Let's start with the things I liked:</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Packaging:</b> It's biodegradable which is always a positive aspect to safeguard the environment<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIZQcArbc4UgVFqJuD9MNlmlobNjyPszIUDaBtz8LUXCaMIuwnzNVVDa5_KeGULDis5d20Vvhw_6kJ_kpnkvbpwARSmJI3IOadpmmgmit0yvlhp4kfHx46nP9H24HrIY8eHmJO5PKTzmU/s1600/edit+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIZQcArbc4UgVFqJuD9MNlmlobNjyPszIUDaBtz8LUXCaMIuwnzNVVDa5_KeGULDis5d20Vvhw_6kJ_kpnkvbpwARSmJI3IOadpmmgmit0yvlhp4kfHx46nP9H24HrIY8eHmJO5PKTzmU/s320/edit+2.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Ingredients:</b> this is common for all Good Things skin care products; free from SFSs, Mineral Oils, Parabens, Animal Ingredients and it contains super-fruits instead of all the chemicals which are found in the majority of skin care products.<br />
<br />
The<b> material </b>the wipes are made of is sturdy and thick which compared to others that I've tried, are really good quality. They contain a lot of moisture therefore won't easily dry out. In fact if left upside down, some of their moisture may seep through them.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Things not impressed with:</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Scent:</b> its too powerful compared to the other Good Things products. It results in lingering too much on the skin which personally, I'm not a fan of.<br />
<br />
<b>Use</b>: Can only be used on the face. The first time I used them, I also removed my eye make-up which resulted in a burning sensation. It was only after that I noticed the print "Avoid direct contact with eyes". However, I did not like how it left my skin red after using them. It was a sign that my skin didn't like them I guess.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Overall Opinion</u></b>:<br />
<br />
I think that these wipes would be better suite for normal to dry skin. They are definitely not targeted for sensitive skin. Overall, I think they are well made and they are relatively inexpensive.<br />
<br />
That's all for this post,<br />
<br />

<br />
Today, after work, I decided to visit Tally Weijl Outlet in Sliema, since quite some time has passed since the last time that I shopped from there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5VkahDs0ZbiGDSgC90LNEXURjGDQXDmBz8uiyRcy4_3F5ydZSvltEgcNVDWGsiaTHzPJlbPoRjwRpeowCulRcC_UO3EeuNgFEud_riItvSvjxRQHF3XIdAwAQqW6reVxFMAxLDWZLe4/s1600/collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5VkahDs0ZbiGDSgC90LNEXURjGDQXDmBz8uiyRcy4_3F5ydZSvltEgcNVDWGsiaTHzPJlbPoRjwRpeowCulRcC_UO3EeuNgFEud_riItvSvjxRQHF3XIdAwAQqW6reVxFMAxLDWZLe4/s320/collage+2.jpg" width="105" /></a></div>
Whilst browsing through all the clothes, I found this gorgeous dress. The part that caught my eye the most is the fabric's texture and how the design is like embossed in the fabric itself. Also, I like the chiffon detail at the front and at the bank, together with an exposed zipper. This dress is perfect for a special occasion. I think I am going to save it for the holidays :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiADHgC_ByqjejpXhYzr0ppVUVJLrgedNrk1Mf42QGhxZmYjmzJq9uzPWeoRRN1ZIIAxYrYfLiA7oDmnUv7rVVIdYnA7OppoqW3ix0roDXoKYyoIvd7zelxPfP0-zaDZwyDEPI99XI1eX0/s1600/collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiADHgC_ByqjejpXhYzr0ppVUVJLrgedNrk1Mf42QGhxZmYjmzJq9uzPWeoRRN1ZIIAxYrYfLiA7oDmnUv7rVVIdYnA7OppoqW3ix0roDXoKYyoIvd7zelxPfP0-zaDZwyDEPI99XI1eX0/s320/collage+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The second piece that I found is this royal blue blouse. Of course, I had to purchase it because of its colour, which is my ultimate favourite colour. Another thing that I really like is the flowy, chiffon fabric, which may portray a laid back style. Also, I do not have anything similar to this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFLEKWfv64kc6_z6biyfDTw05KLd7oQlancHuFLKBu_Bg8A0Fk-Ajf57wgEKPAr662RhQOt5aRgKXEyZTd5_-ndfDmxz9FX-LMcLCei3JVOIE3ZGxYy_vldDBFl6Eb0vwZxuoeatRfWmo/s1600/edit+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFLEKWfv64kc6_z6biyfDTw05KLd7oQlancHuFLKBu_Bg8A0Fk-Ajf57wgEKPAr662RhQOt5aRgKXEyZTd5_-ndfDmxz9FX-LMcLCei3JVOIE3ZGxYy_vldDBFl6Eb0vwZxuoeatRfWmo/s320/edit+1.jpg" width="211" /></a></div>
It can be worn casually or even for a night out if paired with the right accessories. However, still not sure what to wear with it, a skirt or trousers, what do you think?<br />
<br />
Would appreciate your suggestions :)<br />

<br />
About two weeks ago I decided to try out a new concealer from Essence: Stay Natural Concealer in the colour 'Soft Honey'.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtho5H3-UsxgSS9AV6E-QheG89rkQpfhXrXFPj9vQfDT87Qb97f80hYAHIjpCco7X9_nEeoHuti2qM0wEXNlEgtWN5ijhURG5WqGWgQyLV3iFajJ326oyMoTZgVyJoctM47j_w3XdaV4/s1600/edit+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtho5H3-UsxgSS9AV6E-QheG89rkQpfhXrXFPj9vQfDT87Qb97f80hYAHIjpCco7X9_nEeoHuti2qM0wEXNlEgtWN5ijhURG5WqGWgQyLV3iFajJ326oyMoTZgVyJoctM47j_w3XdaV4/s320/edit+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Quality of product</u></b>: It is a liquid type of concealer, creamy and easily blendable. The colour I chose matched my skin perfectly. It has light to medium coverage which may not be suitable to cover severe acne scars.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Amount of product</u></b>: The fact that disappointed me the most about this product is that after a week and a half from when I bought it, it was already finished. Granted, for its price I was not expecting it lasting for a long time, however a week and half seems too little to me.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Packaging</u></b>: it is a pen like product, that is, twisting the end and the product comes out from the brush. A defect this packaging has is that after you stop twisting the end, product still keeps on coming out. Therefore, there is excessive waste of the concealer.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Brush</u></b>: this is the part that I liked most about this product. It is a synthetic bristle brush and it applies the product really well without any streaks.<br />

<b><u>Price</u></b>: it is inexpensive, as all Essence products are. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Overall</u></b>: I was disappointed with this particular concealer, it did not meet my expectations. It is ideal for those who do not use concealer frequently.However, for those who use concealer everyday, like me, may want to search for another concealer.<br />
<br />
Have you used this concealer? What do you think about it?<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

Take Care,<br />

<br />
Exams have finished, so I can direct my attention on writing some posts at last. <br />
<br />
Hope you are all doing great :)<br />
<br />
Last May I was browsing around the shelves at our local supermarket, and stumbled upon some products which I never heard of before: <u><strong><a href="http://www.goodthingsbeauty.com/" target="_blank">Good Things skin care</a></strong></u>. I have to admit that the main thing that caught my eye was the packaging. However, when examining the product further I noticed that these products were from:<br />
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Parabens: Research has shown that these chemicals have displayed estrogenic activity in several tests<strong>.</strong> In other words, these chemicals mimic the body's own hormones and can thus disrupt endocrine functions in virtually every system in the body. (1)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Sodium Laureth Sulphate: This chemical has been found to breach the protective layers of the skin. When you use products with both SLS and other chemical toxins and preservatives, you are inviting these other toxins to more easily penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream. <br />SLS has shown up in the tissues of the brain, liver, heart and other vital organs. This strongly suggests it is retained long term in several bodily tissues. (2)<br /> </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Mineral Oils: this ingredient is more suited for dry skin. Therefore, it is ideal for oily skin to use products without mineral oils.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Animal Ingredients: means that these products are cruelty free.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgksgTiV1WcCRC14KUpRiECFxP0xJm6AkkfaGjB_YuQ4p0wBTUelgA1q0h89w29usoCMrdjax2zS7ai7L0aeP6jMLK7fvac_fYYnyI-MggN_f-seOhJk5KMXuVSi4sbU0ray9QTTKXPFUc/s1600/collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgksgTiV1WcCRC14KUpRiECFxP0xJm6AkkfaGjB_YuQ4p0wBTUelgA1q0h89w29usoCMrdjax2zS7ai7L0aeP6jMLK7fvac_fYYnyI-MggN_f-seOhJk5KMXuVSi4sbU0ray9QTTKXPFUc/s320/collage+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I decided to test them out. After about a week, my skin felt healthier, more supple and moisturized and have been using them since.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Daily Routine:</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><u></u></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) <u>Stay Clear Purifying cleanser</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I use this anti- blemish cleanser in the morning and evening. I massage it into the skin for a minute (yes I count) and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. The active ingredients that prevent acne are mango (helps in moisturising the skin and keeping it supple), blueberry (acts as an antioxidant and has anti irritant properties), willow-bark (it is a source of beta-hydroxyl acids including salicylic acid) extracts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLqALdWoQOsVEq-bUIvcrHgkta3Ccs2nfA5iJ8LSS1kdNfDGSRT3ksl8fRufnzGPoIkoTpC-vjtAcowdkjwQ-WxZcSvdyifwxLCAAnzfoI8YsKSnsoseKfm6SQkiU1ZIR6cWmvW03DHzM/s1600/edit+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLqALdWoQOsVEq-bUIvcrHgkta3Ccs2nfA5iJ8LSS1kdNfDGSRT3ksl8fRufnzGPoIkoTpC-vjtAcowdkjwQ-WxZcSvdyifwxLCAAnzfoI8YsKSnsoseKfm6SQkiU1ZIR6cWmvW03DHzM/s320/edit+1.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2)<u> Deep Pore anti- blemish Cleanser</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I use this product as a toner after cleansing my face, therefore in the morning and evening. I pour it on a cotton pad and pat it on the skin. The active ingredients are fig (rich in Vitamin B6 and calcium) and wild strawberry (rich in Vitamin C and Potassium) extracts. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_npa6dLyetdwZZCVHIe802unzYv7uPTBZ2kuA39NHENefel5DBPp6bWXY0MtqbBvW9L-yGmaUmOHmitvc-0sLEG5ZP1ofUbPzRh3rGWegqkXnTX-nhSW4PNASNE37rWtqndo_wELl3Ag/s1600/edit+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_npa6dLyetdwZZCVHIe802unzYv7uPTBZ2kuA39NHENefel5DBPp6bWXY0MtqbBvW9L-yGmaUmOHmitvc-0sLEG5ZP1ofUbPzRh3rGWegqkXnTX-nhSW4PNASNE37rWtqndo_wELl3Ag/s320/edit+2.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) <u>Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Usually I don't apply moisturiser because I feel like it sits on my skin and makes it oilier. However, this moisturiser moisturises my face whilst <strong>not</strong> increasing the production of oil. Active ingredients in this product are blackcurrant (have anti- inflammatory benefits) and goji berry (tonic for the skin since they calm the skin with its anti-inflammatory actions) extracts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xpaEAcEu4yfyBG7Y7jg2x09yDnKyzgqU0AYPKc6YeJ-ORiTyMo-EGMNbgMAJrvIDWHeV5uFGgRcHZPxQaXVbVSVQHJ2Hgi8T0zjEJzS4ZUbfHeP4W94MMrvx_6-RgO5VMkOO1cCmM3Q/s1600/edit+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xpaEAcEu4yfyBG7Y7jg2x09yDnKyzgqU0AYPKc6YeJ-ORiTyMo-EGMNbgMAJrvIDWHeV5uFGgRcHZPxQaXVbVSVQHJ2Hgi8T0zjEJzS4ZUbfHeP4W94MMrvx_6-RgO5VMkOO1cCmM3Q/s320/edit+3.jpg" width="263" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4)<u> Spot that spot clearing gel</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I use this only when I have a breakout, not everyday. After about 3 days spots almost disappear. Active ingredients are Papaya (Rich in enzymes therefore has an exfoliating action) and Acai (Rich in B-Vitamins and minerals and help sooth inflammation) extracts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLh7cbsEVHorbMz04SKCvdDPDCOuu05eH47ulBNCublEPvmNRrl169PsAdU1UUwv-ozrbS0cKIpnf3BaPiaS-aAY2JihyphenhyphenSuZpZUYx3wr6ijIbwfemddzuLAAleI5xvcO-rFPYPPnkd00/s1600/edit+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLh7cbsEVHorbMz04SKCvdDPDCOuu05eH47ulBNCublEPvmNRrl169PsAdU1UUwv-ozrbS0cKIpnf3BaPiaS-aAY2JihyphenhyphenSuZpZUYx3wr6ijIbwfemddzuLAAleI5xvcO-rFPYPPnkd00/s320/edit+4.jpg" width="278" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5) <u>Bright eyes eye cream</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its purpose is anti puffiness and minimise dark circles, which I definitely needed during the recent exam session. Its moisturises the eye area and decreases puffiness. However, have not noticed a decrease in my dark circles. I need to test it out more. Active ingredients are Raspberry (used for its skin calming qualities) and Lychee (contains Vitamin- C and skin boosting mineral- potassium) extracts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_J3e8YsrQBfrxu7pqwo7S-TNTVjj_M4ww1fO1CydKksuTLBQqTm5Ao52LQgt6xMamjjIaA7h74xhSnVnVWencSMKT0wtVkwhkS9wCuXj-FLpBQuUGMtuqQkZbdY29nLpQYCK1hHzQAs/s1600/edit+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_J3e8YsrQBfrxu7pqwo7S-TNTVjj_M4ww1fO1CydKksuTLBQqTm5Ao52LQgt6xMamjjIaA7h74xhSnVnVWencSMKT0wtVkwhkS9wCuXj-FLpBQuUGMtuqQkZbdY29nLpQYCK1hHzQAs/s320/edit+6.jpg" width="285" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like the smell of all these products, it is a fresh and fruity type of smell which slightly lingers on the skin. Also, they are inexpensive products which is an added advantage. Good Things also offer an skin care line for normal, not acne prone skin. I recommend these products to any one. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That all for today,</div>

<br />
So it has been a while since I purchased the Lime Crime Velvetines and I still had not worn it out (<a href="http://beautyisourpassion.blogspot.com/2013/06/testing-and-review-lime-crime-velvetines.html" target="_blank">Read Review Here).</a> Last Wednesday, my friend encouraged me to wear it and so I did :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYEPFwTXJ5AM2U4AGh_t9rvB35AQEDe9FYqPBdiiFCU-UVtdGxnoID21xTCLa0LSaefg5TZ1hyd1ogC_yTACLsy32jq6rK1cJkBAfznDJKStGQUtXBGe00VOxUitPhqrS5QUndoYgVi8/s1600/DSCF5704.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYEPFwTXJ5AM2U4AGh_t9rvB35AQEDe9FYqPBdiiFCU-UVtdGxnoID21xTCLa0LSaefg5TZ1hyd1ogC_yTACLsy32jq6rK1cJkBAfznDJKStGQUtXBGe00VOxUitPhqrS5QUndoYgVi8/s1600/DSCF5704.JPG" /></a></div>
I paired it up with a very simple eye look:<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 1:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Applied NYX Jumbo eye shadow pencil in 'Milk' and set it with a white eyeshadow.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong><br />
<br />
I chose a very soft brown and applied it in the crease of the eye and blended it. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 3:</strong></u><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1CISpp5Uk5YYjw3hnbabykACBPh4REvEiKYWDdNN9QT6NYrm5aB6_IP80seYNDOoAG6q6MEUow86ZbQgb_bmtdzJdJgRzSlsPU86HnS572DcWGu955W81Zh3opthvSxvPk1T4x7BHDCw/s1600/99b448d4_o.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1CISpp5Uk5YYjw3hnbabykACBPh4REvEiKYWDdNN9QT6NYrm5aB6_IP80seYNDOoAG6q6MEUow86ZbQgb_bmtdzJdJgRzSlsPU86HnS572DcWGu955W81Zh3opthvSxvPk1T4x7BHDCw/s400/99b448d4_o.jpeg" width="297" /></a>I applied a slightly darker brown in the outer 'V' of the eye and blended it with the soft brown colour I applied before.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 4:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Applied a black eyeliner and winged it out more then usual.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 5:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Loads of coats of mascara. <br />
<br />
Then, of course, I applied the Lime Crime Velvetines. A downside that I noticed about this product is the applicator. It is a doe foot applicator, therefore extra care must be taken since it is much easier to not applying the product perfectly with this kind of wand, at least for me.<br />
<br />
Last step, I applied a dark pink blush, contoured my face slightly and applied a highlighter on my cheek bones. <br />
<br />
I think this is one of the easiest tutorials so far since the main focus are the lips.<br />
<br />
That's all for the post,<br />
<br />
Hope you liked the tutorial,<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />
Take Care,<br />

Hey Beauties,</div>
<br />
Excuse me for not posting lately however, I have been too busy studying for my upcoming exams. <br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I participated in a singing concert, were I wore a black, subtle cat eye, smoky eye. Hope you like it :)<br />

<strong><u>Step 1:</u></strong> Applied Essence Cover Stick Concealer and Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 2:</u></strong> Applied NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Base in 'Milk' all over the lid, and blended it out, to form a sticky base for the eye shadows to last longer.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 3:</u></strong> Used 77 eye shadow palette and applied a light beige color on top of the 'Milk'. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 4:</strong></u> Next, applied a dark eye shadow to the outer 'V' of my lid and blended it out as much as I could. Then, I built up the color little by little to the intensity that I wanted.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 5:</u></strong> Applied a black eye shadow on top of the grey and blended the two colors together. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 6:</u></strong> As a transition color I used a soft brown color and blended the grey and brown together below the brow bone. <br />
<br />

Then, applied a subtle code in the inner corner of my eye.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 8:</u></strong> Applied Essence Long Lasting eye pencil in the color 'Cool Down' under my lower lashes and blended it in between the lashes together with Essence Long Lasting eye pencil in the color 'Black Fever' on my water line. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 9:</strong></u> Next, applied Essence Gel eye liner on my upper lid in a subtle cat eye form, and then approximately 3 coats of Maybelline Colossal Mascara. <br />

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgnNDU9ONU_anVS-hgPtTk543X4eM1MyTqqI9OECtnio-Ia2iNpiq5clfc7JEYPzuXzadWskLoMclRbx5gqFYwJLl9b8qsyZdw0IASXQih-gcHb6Bwx3PkZbj8iNPTP9M9W_XLphMmYjM/s1600/DSCF5875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgnNDU9ONU_anVS-hgPtTk543X4eM1MyTqqI9OECtnio-Ia2iNpiq5clfc7JEYPzuXzadWskLoMclRbx5gqFYwJLl9b8qsyZdw0IASXQih-gcHb6Bwx3PkZbj8iNPTP9M9W_XLphMmYjM/s320/DSCF5875.JPG" width="239" /></a>I know it may seem nonsense for some of you, but I still put on some makeup when going to the beach. So, I decided to show you the makeup look I like to do.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Step 1:</u></strong><br />
<br />
I apply 'Good Things Moisturiser' before applying any makeup and let it sink into my skin. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 2:</strong></u> <br />
<br />
I start off with 'Essence Stick concealer' and apply it to scars and imperfections. Then, I apply a thin layer of 'Bourjois Healthy Mix' Foundation. I have tested the staying power of this foundation when going swimming, In a span of 6 hours at the beach I only retouched my skin once, so that is an added advantage that this foundation offers :). I let these settle onto my skin whilst applying eyeliner and mascara.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZLxNljvnT0Fjc2-NcXdw5iSfbD7n8nEmL-dAlO2VGFNm_dN-17rGafPft1rxoInZlMFaPG5cLLTfyTlZwj18SMYHdePg53D5ISZIfpAt2Enr0rnStybYps25VxUiY4DkjS2wJggU6DM/s1600/DSCF5875+2+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwZLxNljvnT0Fjc2-NcXdw5iSfbD7n8nEmL-dAlO2VGFNm_dN-17rGafPft1rxoInZlMFaPG5cLLTfyTlZwj18SMYHdePg53D5ISZIfpAt2Enr0rnStybYps25VxUiY4DkjS2wJggU6DM/s320/DSCF5875+2+(2).jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<u><strong>Step 3:</strong></u> <br />
<br />
I apply 'Essence Long Lasting' pencil in the color '09 Cool Down' on my lash line, after which I apply 'Essence Get Big Lashes Volume' Mascara in the waterproof formula. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>Step 4:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Apply some powder all over my face<br />
<br />
<u><strong></strong></u><br />
<u><strong>Step 5:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Last but no the least, I apply a lip liner since it leaves the lips tinted even after swimming, and also a lip gloss. <br />
<br />
Hope you like this makeup look,<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />
Take Care,<br />

<br />
I have been craving a shopping spree for the past 3 weeks, but it is only yesterday that I found the time to actually go shopping. So, I decided to share with you what I bought. <br />
<br />
I really needed a new bag, so I decided to check out New Look's selection. There was a vast selection of bags, however, this is the one that caught my eye the most. I like this bag since it is large, has a structured shape, and is embellished with small holes and sparkly studs. <br />

Carpisa have a 50% sale at the moment. Since I never buy anything from this brand, I took the opportunity. As you all know, I am obsessed with the Royal Blue color, so as soon as I entered the store, this bag stood out to me. Of course, this is my favourite purchase. Looovveee this bag!!! :)</div>

From a small boutique I found these inexpensive shirts. I always try to find unique pieces that have that 'something special'. These sure fit the description, small details make a difference. They have a small exposed zipper on the back, and scattered studs on the straps. These were only 10euro each, so I decided to buy two of them. <br />

Last outlet I visited is SuiteBlanco. I found this mint, chiffon blouse, and skin fit leggings. I love the blouse's gem detailing along the buttons. This would be a perfect Autumn outfit. <br />

I was also searching for some new heels, however I was quite unlucky since all the shoes that I liked, my size wasn't available. To be honest, I was quite frustrated. Oh well, a good excuse to go on a shopping spree again this week hehe ;)<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />

It has been quite some time since I purchased some Essence Cosmetics. So today while I was at Pavi I decided to pick up some makeup (as if I don't have enough already.. oh well.. haha). These are the products I bought:<br />

<u><strong>1) XXXL Shine Lip Gloss</strong></u><br />
<br />
Last week I saw my cousin using this product and I also tried it myself, and I really liked it. Therefore, as soon as I saw it available on the stand I grabbed it without thinking twice about it. It is in the color '021 Red Blossom'. <br />

<u>First Impressions:</u> I love this berry color especially for Summer, and I was impressed by its pigmentation. It also has a nice, not over bearing, scent. Most important thing is that it does not have a sticky consistency, but rather it feels smooth on the lips. <br />

<strong><u>2) Get Big Lashes Volume Mascara.</u></strong><br />
<br />
A colleague at work has these nice full and long lashes, and I always wonder what mascara she uses. A few days ago I decided to ask her and she recommended this mascara.<br />

<strong><u>3) Long Lasting Eye Pencil</u></strong><br />
<br />
Lately, I have been obsessed with the color royal blue. I end up buying everything in that color from clothes, to makeup, to nail polish, even my car has a very similar color. Therefore as soon as I saw this color in an eye pencil form, I had to get it. It is in the color '09 Cool Down'.<br />

<u>First Impressions:</u> It is a very pigmented, true to color product. I really liked its creamy consistency and it glides on without tugging at the skin. When I washed my hands, it did not budge. I had to really rub at my skin to remove the product. It is truly long lasting. <br />

<u>First Impressions</u>: Again, it is pigmented, and I like that it has a small eye brow brush attached to the cap. Value for money product ;)<br />

<u><strong>5) Coverstick Concealer</strong></u><br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
I never tried any face makeup from Essence, apart from blush and bronzer. I thought I'd start with a concealer, also I needed a new one. It is in the color '01 Matt Sand'.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>First Impressions:</u> Have not tried it yet, however, it felt good on my hand whilst swatching it and it blended quite well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCQMS-NWQBrl93AS194mZ1QgwRsJvBfA5JF8bKVdVmvzj8714C-JMH85iueUKhUfl31BRyaZJf9k1NrnfkTjylCX_Xv8TfOF3wwLMnGYt4T3LSS6drE3483_OT1nE_LGkqvT0dNqYITA/s1600/DSCF5829.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCQMS-NWQBrl93AS194mZ1QgwRsJvBfA5JF8bKVdVmvzj8714C-JMH85iueUKhUfl31BRyaZJf9k1NrnfkTjylCX_Xv8TfOF3wwLMnGYt4T3LSS6drE3483_OT1nE_LGkqvT0dNqYITA/s320/DSCF5829.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<strong><u>6) Lipstick</u></strong><br />
<br />
Last but not least, of course, I had to buy a lipstick. I really like Essence lipstick and I have a couple of them. It is in the color '64 Flirty Pink'.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10ia45VnCWlUnQSXdqJIUtJS8tARAzDaW_aQfbW8-7Js2crG5wlQpU0tJMq_8nHYlP9QNFQj4Su3yzgthrQ92OQ8SYi0Z1xYJnWT-8ZkWdEkFDHBXeVAeyaePbwBEjC7b9tVt0dp3NH4/s1600/DSCF5824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10ia45VnCWlUnQSXdqJIUtJS8tARAzDaW_aQfbW8-7Js2crG5wlQpU0tJMq_8nHYlP9QNFQj4Su3yzgthrQ92OQ8SYi0Z1xYJnWT-8ZkWdEkFDHBXeVAeyaePbwBEjC7b9tVt0dp3NH4/s320/DSCF5824.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<u>First Impressions:</u> It smells really nice, like all Essence lip products. I like the color, and it is also pigmented. The only thing that I didn't like as much is that it has small sparkles, I thought it was a creamy or matt lipstick. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyU-eWuc3WQacgmxv86MxdN_9QKE5ZGAFSzwnf9XZcMcYF3iI3rXhcgFnT_lg6QRctqhF8_hcoNdcDYXXwYXtUBZuGFaQ8ED_LfhyfQYDx-0DYvqSy3gDAluvYt-sBGPR4ONG3EttrV7s/s1600/DSCF5825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyU-eWuc3WQacgmxv86MxdN_9QKE5ZGAFSzwnf9XZcMcYF3iI3rXhcgFnT_lg6QRctqhF8_hcoNdcDYXXwYXtUBZuGFaQ8ED_LfhyfQYDx-0DYvqSy3gDAluvYt-sBGPR4ONG3EttrV7s/s320/DSCF5825.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Overall I am content with my purchase. The fact that never ceases to amaze me is that these cosmetics are so inexpensive, which is a rarity in Malta to find inexpensive makeup. Even drug store brands are quite expensive, unlike other countries. For the above 6 products, altogether they cost me 12 euros. Great price right!?<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />
Take Care,<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Last Wednesday, Beauty is our Passion Blog was invited to
attend the launch of a new Skin Care product range, together with other Maltese
beauty bloggers: <a href="http://allthingslady.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">All Things Lady</a> , <a href="http://allthingsfabulousblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">All Things Fabulous Blog</a>, <a href="http://www.othersideofcool.com/" target="_blank">The Other Side of Cool</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">First and foremost, thank you to PharmaMt for giving Beauty is Our Passion Blog the opportunity to attend the event and for giving us all such a nice welcome.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
T<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">his new Skin Care range is called ‘Lierac Paris’. It is
a French brand, which was founded in 1975. The innovative element that sets
apart this brand from all the other skin care brands is that the products are
based on Phytocosmetics. Strange word is it? Let me explain. This word simply
means that the products are plant based and the ingredients are naturally
sourced from various plants, flowers and herbs. Your skin will thank you for
not using products filled with a lot of harmful chemicals that instead of healing
the skin, they just end up damaging it even more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The main products that ‘Lierac Paris’ offers are
anti-aging products. However, it also caters for other types of skin conditions
for example, dry and oily skin, acne prone and sensitive skin. It is also
offering a new range of tanning products which are ideal for the Summer season.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The main ingredients that the anti-aging products are
based upon are: Alchemillo, Ivy and Horsetail plants. Research found that when
combined together these three elements boost the synthesis of collagen and
elastin which help to prevent and heal wrinkles from developing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During this event, we tested several products, some of
which are the following:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">1) Phytolastil</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This product claims that it helps diminish the appearance
of existing stretch marks in 80% of the cases. I cannot vouch that it does what
it claims. First Impression: it has a serum like consistency, upon applying it
on my skin it was absorbed immediately and did not leave any product residue, my
skin felt smooth and moisturised.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This product is part of their Daily Beauty Care. It is a
vitamin- enriched radiance booster cream. It claims that it improves skin’s
radiance by 98%, and that it plumps and tones the skin. It is made up of
Apricot extract and citrus AHA. First Impression: I applied this cream on one
hand. When compared to the other I noticed that it had a slight glow to it and
it also felt quite moisturised. </span></div>

Can be used on the face, body and even hair. It is made up of hazelnut, sweet
almond and grapeseed argan. Its purpose is to nourish and hydrate. It can be
used as a moisturised for face and body, and as a hair treatment. First
Impression: it feels like pure silk on the skin and it has a floral fragrance
which lingers on the skin. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is the last product that I tested. It is part of
their Tan Enhancing product range. This product is and Iridescent Powder with
SPF 15. Its benefits are that it is anti-wrinkle and anti-brown spots which is
suitable for all skin tones. First Impression: it is like a mineral bronzer but
with a slight sheen to it. So it can be used not only as a tanning product but
also as a makeup product. I like the built in brush that it comes with, it is
dense and soft. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the moment there is the trend of matte and velvet lips which is quite the opposite of the normal glossy and juicy lip. A few weeks ago I discovered the Lime Crime Velvetines which is a liquid lipstick which has a very matte and velvet finish. I ordered it from ebay from the seller <span>makeupemporium1. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I received it a couple of days ago and decided to test it over a 9 hour period, to check how long it lasts:</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZs1ySrxZWx90kkyLaE6EkqNQq6poiUxKrQBJ1m2Ix340vXrH3LKiBnHnbxUYuuiwwYhir0Ase_iCwD8Y8VsKfJPs6YPUb9mX8UXoXRf0PENKM5ssFyq-eJKlEN-Y_MbgyMgn-bxLKU8/s1600/DSCF5703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZs1ySrxZWx90kkyLaE6EkqNQq6poiUxKrQBJ1m2Ix340vXrH3LKiBnHnbxUYuuiwwYhir0Ase_iCwD8Y8VsKfJPs6YPUb9mX8UXoXRf0PENKM5ssFyq-eJKlEN-Y_MbgyMgn-bxLKU8/s320/DSCF5703.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First impression as soon as I opened the package was, that I really like the packaging and the tube itself. As one can notice from the photo below, it is not clear plastic like all the other lip products, but it has a sanded finish to make it seem velvety. Also, the box itself has instructions on the inside that tells you how to apply it and how to take it off properly, since it stains quite a lot. </span><br />

It is liquid type of product, if not applying it carefully it can become quite messy. After a few seconds it settles to velvet finish. There is no risk of it bleeding when compared to other lip products.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As a conclusion, one would need to obviously reapply it during the day. However, it does has a longer span of time then other lip products. I like it because it is a unique product which not many brands produce, and also the color is perfect. The only disadvantage it has is that it is quite expensive, especially for those, including myself, if it needs to be shipped in Europe. That is why I chose ebay, to save some of the shipping costs ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">That is all for today,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hope you found this review to your liking,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Let me know what you think about this product, if you tried it,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Until next time,</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hope all of you are doing fine :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So lately I have been reading quite a lot of Empties Tags, and I decided to do it myself. I try to use up as much of my products as possible before buying anything new. Let's start:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I cannot rave enough about this foundation. Its the best foundation I have ever used; its takes care of my skin, doesn't clog my pores, really good coverage, and it has a natural finish. Of course, I repurchased this product and I pair it with Healthy Mix Concealer which is also a good product. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This is the very first blush that I succeeded in using up.. :) Overall, I like ELF Blushes, they have the right pigmentation and there are a variety of finishes to suit everybody's tastes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>3) Max Factor Powder</b></u> </span><br />
<br />
I wasn't that impressed with this product. Partly it was my fault because I did not choose the right shade for my skin. However, I didn't like the feel of it on my face and I found that it settles in fine lines. Its not a product that I am considering in repurchasing.<span id="goog_961545704"></span><span id="goog_961545705"></span><br />

<u><b>4) Essence Finishing Powder</b></u><br />
<br />
Unlike the previous product, I liked this powder. Sets foundation perfectly and doesn't cake up during the day. Also, it is very inexpensive, would definitely repurchase this product.<br />
<br />
<u><b>5) Tresemme Hair Spray in Firm Hold</b></u><br />
<br />
I have been repurchasing and using this product for about two years now, love it. However, I decided to try other hair sprays. I have been reading reviews and watching tutorials while using Elnette Hair Spray for ages, now I decided to try it out myself :)<br />

It can be used instead of a usual face wash. It cleanses the skin from makeup whilst at the same time reduces and prevents inflammation, and restores the natural Ph balance of the skin. This is the third bottle that I have been using, and I recommend it whole heatedly to anyone. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Those are all the products that I have used up in the past month,<br />
<br />
I tag everyone to do it, I would love to know your views on products that you tried out,<br />
<br />
Until Next time,<br />
<br />
Take Care,<br />

<b><u>Step 1:</u></b><br />
<br />
I always like to start with a good base, and of course my ultimate favorite product is NYX Jumbo eye pencil in 'Milk' which I applied all over the lid.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 2:</u></b><br />
<br />
Next I applied a generous amount of Catrice eye shadow in the Color 'Envy'.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 3:</u></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 4:</u></b><br />
<br />
Next, I applied a slightly darker brown color in the outer V of my lid and continued blending. I also applied the darker brown to my bottom lid.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 5:</u></b><br />
<br />
Last but not least, I applied a black Essence eyeliner, curled my lashes and applied mascara.<br />

That's all there is to it, very simple eye makeup which at the same time has a pop of color. I would pair this type of eye makeup with a slightly darker lip and warm pink blush.<br />

I just wanted to share what I wore yesterday night. Hope you like it :)<br />

I wore a black shirt that I bought from Suite Blanco. This is one of my favorite shirts because of its studded detailing on the shoulder. I chose turquoise pants that I bought last Summer from Pull & Bear as a pop of color to my outfit. For shoes I wore, white Suite Blanco shoes.<br />
<br />
For accessories, I chose a pair of dark green earrings that I bought from Accessorize, I think that they matched the outfit well, together with white Guess watch and Coach wrist-let.<br />
