Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser

If your looking for a cleanser that isn't going to dry your skin out , removes every little bit of makeup , including waterproof mascara , feels amazing on your skin , and doesn't cost a small fortune -then look no further ! 

Nuxe Reve De Miel ..The Holy Grail Lip Balm

I can't believe I haven't given this little beauty a write up yet . I honestly don't know what has taken me so long , but without beating around the bush - this stuff is amazing . Hands down this is the best lip balm/treatment that in all my 25 years I have come across . And boy am I glad I found it . Nuxe

The Lip And Liner Combo

There's nothing quite as classic as a bold red lip paired with a sweep of winged out black eyeliner . It's a simple look that can be used for both a super glam style , or translated to more of a day wear . Yet with all that said , I'd never actually worn this look myself with a bright red lip - Well something

The New Top Coat

For quite sometime now I had been using the Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat , which I really liked , but after getting through roughly two thirds of the bottle , the last bit started going pretty tacky and bubbly . So on my last trip to the local pharmacy , I thought it was about time I picked up a new top

The Base Brush Edit

There are a few brushes , that I know for a fact will always be staples in my makeup routine . Me and my makeup would suffer greatly without them . And I wonder how I ever got by before they entered my life .

The Volume Boost

My hair has always needed help with volume , it just doesn't seem to ever have that oomph on it's own . You know you see those girls with the gorgeous bouncy , airy , effortlessly beautiful looking hair ? Yes , well that's not me .. But I've always wanted it , and tried my hardest at achieving it .

Lipstick That Lasts

So as we get further into Autumn ( like I haven't mentioned it enough!?) , we're starting to pull out the bolder lip colours , and unlike a more sheer or lighter lip colour that have been around for summer , this takes a little more care and time to pull off . You don't want to end up with lipstick

The Beauty Hit List

There have been occasions when I have resisted the urge not to splurge and pick up something that in all honesty I didn't need . I mean how many concealers , foundations , lipsticks or eyeliners does one girl need ? I'd like to say a lot , but in the spirit of being realistic , you just don't need that many .

Autumn Winter Metallic Nails

This Autumn / Winter , it seems metallic and shimmery nails are having a comeback . I haven't owned a metallic nail polish for many a year , but it was one of the first nail polishes I ever bought . Over time I've preferred the more glossy cream kinda finish  as opposed to the metallic shades I

The Yay - And The Nay..

This month I picked up a couple of products from the 'Simple' range , I was on the look out for a face mask and a face wash as my skin was leaning a little more to the oily side as of late . I've used Simple products in the past , and never had any issues , so I thought I'd give them a go . One did the job it claimed , while the other .. well it was quite a flop !

Can I Get A Hallelujah !

Oh yes , I am ecstatic that summer is coming to an end ! I am one of those people that really does not get on with the heat - at all ! So yes , I pretty much live in the wrong country , the heat and humidity in Malta just does not bode well with me , I'm definitely a winter kinda gal . Now don't get

Sensitive Scalp Sorted

 

So a while back I spoke about what a little wonder Almond Oil is , and what is has done for my hair - or more importantly my scalp . For the past few years I have suffered with quite the sensitive and irritated  dry scalp , which was becoming quite the pain in the ... And after seeing the great results of

The Drugstore Back To School Basics

Now although in secondary school , I wasn't one to wear makeup , I would apply the odd bit of concealer to my seriously spot prone teenage skin . We couldn't really get away with any more than that as they were a bit on the strict side . And there was no way I wanted to wake up any earlier than

Gimme Some Texture..

My hair , albeit in good condition , tends to fall a little on the flat side . I've got naturally straight hair , that sadly lacks any volume whatsoever . There's nothing more than I'd love to have in the hair department than gorgeous thick wavy voluminous hair . But I guess as is the case of every other women in the world , we tend to want what we don't have !

No7 Soft And Soothed Gentle Toner

I like to use a toner when I've used a heavy cleanser , and also if I've had quite a bit of make up on . It just leaves my skin feeling extra fresh and clean . And this one has been my current go to , it is the the No7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Toner . I picked this up the last time I was back in England ,

Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan .. The Verdict

My venture into the world of fake tan went a little deeper recently , usually I stick with my gradual tan if I feel I need to take the edge off the 'Casper' look . However I decided to pick this one up in a recent online splurge . 

The Run Down On Garniers Cleansing Micellar Water

There are so many micellar waters on the market now , be it high end , or drugstore , and it's no wonder as they are probably the easiest quickest cleanse you can get . I have used the Bioderma one in the past , but when this one came out , I thought I would give it a go as it's far cheaper . To be

The Definite Repurchase : Maybelline New York Superstay 24hr Powder

This was another purchase from a bit of online shopping a while back (Here), and I wanted to give it a good testing out before I put my first thoughts on here . Well here I am with the verdict , and oh it's a good 'un !

The ' A Girl Can Dream? ' List

It's the time of year where my birthday is fast approaching , and I find myself now more than ever exploring online , to see what catches my eye . Whilst I'm doing this , I don't seem to be taking note of the actual prices of whatever catches my eye , more just making mental lists of what I'd be buying

The Skin Care Soothers

I have had a bit of a rubbish couple of weeks with my skin , my face seems to be producing lots of angry looking little spots , on top of the already super annoying hormonal round your chin and under the skin painful spots (more like mountains in my opinion!) And on top of that , I had a

The Thoughts On Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Khol Eyeliner In Purple

As I mentioned a while back , I may have made a sneaky order from Feelunique.com (I acknowledge I have a problem! ) . And one of these purchases was a Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in the shade 'Purple' . Now this is not the first time I've used this line ,you may have noticed I am a big

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Kiss Me Coral

The Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses have had a make over , and a great one at that . Now I have always been a fan of the lip ranges from Revlon , especially their latest editions , so I didn't think the formula or line needed improving . But in my opinion they have pulled it out the bag again , and done just that !

The Hangover Helpers

A couple of weeks ago I did a post (Here) on masking the outer effects of a hangover with skincare and make up . But after I saw a friend of mine over the weekend , who was suffering a hideous hangover , I felt a little inspired to write a post along the same lines , only this time , what you can do to make your self feel better on the inside !

Top Picks Of The Sales

 While having a bit of a browse through the Feel Unique site , I noticed they were having a Summer Sale (woop woop!) , now not one to pass a bargain , I obviously had to investigate further ! So here is a run down of my top picks from the sales , that in good conscience I felt I must share to any other fellow beauty lovers .

The Latest Find - Dove Go Fresh Burst Body Wash Nectarine & White Ginger

 

 My Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Shower Gel , reached its final pump , I was not a happy chappy . So after a grumble , I went down to the local shop to find a new alternative , after having a good look around , and not finding anything that I really liked , I came across the Dove section . And this range

My Quick , Simple , No Fuss Evening Eye Makeup

It's hot , it's humid , I can't be spending an age in front of my mirror doing my make up , if I do , by the time I'm finished it will have melted off my face , and onto the floor . I was not built for this heat , at all . With all this practice , I feel that I've kinda nailed the quick Summer make up face . So with

The Stay Put and Won't Budge Base - Maybelline 24 Hr Superstay Foundation

If I know I am going to be out and about all day , or planning a good ol' evening out , then this is the foundation I reach for , it has never let me down . It is one of those staple make up products that I will always replace when I reach the final pump in the bottle . The foundation is medium to full coverage ,

Upcoming Drugstore Launches That I'm Really Rather Excited About

 Don't you just love it , when new and exciting make up and beauty products come around ? But then don't you just hate it , when we have to wait a good while longer for said product to arrive on our shores ! Well , these are a few of those products that have been on my radar for a good while now ,

Upcoming Revlon Colourstay Shadow Links

I had seen these doing the rounds online for a while now , firstly on the Revlon US site and then the U.K's , and was so intrigued , and I was lucky enough to get my hands on this before they were released over here . Firstly I absolutely love the idea that they link together , so you can mix and match , and essentially create your own custom palette . Lets face it , in a lot of eye shadow palettes

The Mini FeelUnique Haul

Recently I was having a a bit of a wander around the Feelunique website to get myself a replacement of my 'Nuxe Reve de Miel' , but it seems I just couldn't help myself , and a couple clicks later a few more things somehow just magically appeared in my basket . ( Have I no will power ?! )

Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream .. The Review

I know these have been on the market for a seriously long time now , but I was intrigued so I picked one up last time I was back in England . I got the shade ' Powder Puff ' , which is quite a matte pale beige toned nude , as I was on the look out for a nice nude , something wearable for an every day look .

The Top Five : Summer Nail Polish Edition

So I thought I'd have a run down of a few of my favourite nail polishes for summer . These colours in particular have been doing the rounds on my nails all summer . I've never done the whole gel polish thing before , mainly because I just love popping into my local chemist / shop , and picking out a new nail polish to suit my mood and add to the collection .. One of life's simple beauty pleasures !

I'm Converted .. Revlon Powder Blush in 'Racy Rose'

 So out of all my make up , blush was never something I would get excited about . I have a few colours here and there , pushed to the back of my make up drawers , but it has never really been something that I thought 'Ooohh I must have that !' . And on a day to day basis it's not something

Almond Oil - The Beauty Multi-tasker

I first discovered this , when my little man was a baby , and had something called cradle cap which is common in most newborns , and the doc told us to try this out . Sure enough it worked a treat and totally cleared up . And only needing a few drops I still had a full bottle left , so decided to have a look and see what else I could use it for , I found a multitude of uses !

A New Discovery : L'accessoire By Sarah

I'm not the kinda gal that has too many exciting colours and patterns in my wardrobe , so I rely on jewellery and accessories to bring a look together and make it stand out . I think the right piece of jewellery can really take a pretty standard outfit to the next level . Just the way a red lip and a bit of

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm In Coquette .. Pretty In Pink !

A while back I mentioned I could not wait to get my hands on the new Lacquer Balms by Revlon, and I finally did ! Were they everything I hoped for ? Oh yes !
I love the simplicity and ease of these crayon style products , they look chic , perfect for throwing in

The Morning After : How To Fake Looking Alive

That feeling when you look in the mirror the morning after , and what greets you is no pleasant sight. Puffy red eyes , blotchy dry skin , smudges of mascara and eyeliner ( sometimes you just can't face removing all your make up , the pillow is calling all to loudly! ) and a few extra spots courtesy of whatever was devoured post night out . Ideally , after a night like this , it would be spent indoors , in

New Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel

  Lets just have a moment for these nail polish bottles ,  I mean have you ever seen a more adorable and chic design ?! I just want to collect them all and put them on show ! Revlon seriously  hit the nail on the head with these  ...  Ok , now I got that out of my system , let me give you my thoughts on the actual product .

For Dramatic Fluttery Lashes : Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara Noir Midnight

I will start this off by saying this Mascara is quite possibly the best I've ever owned . It's genuinely fantastic , all I want in a mascara , it lengthens , it gives volume , and it makes my lashes just look so fluttery ! The first time I tried this , my partner ( the kinda man that wouldn't notice if you've had

Scented Candles That Won't Burn A Hole In Your Pocket

If you are a fan of scented candles , you'll know that some of them can cost a small fortune . So they're not something you want to burn constantly or on a daily basis just to give your home a freshen up . I like to keep more high end candles for occasions , or if I'm planning a chilled pampering night in ,

Nail Polish Remover Just Got A Whole Lot Easier : Bourjois Nail Polish Remover Hands and Feet

We've all been there , hands nicely manicured and carefully polished nails , and then you realise your toes just ain't up to par , and need a fresh coat of polish . You try removing the polish with your traditional remover and cotton pad , and that's when things start to go horribly wrong .

For Us Pale Skin Gals : Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion Gradual Tanner

The clue is in the title , it's all pretty straight forward , which is why I really like this stuff . It's just easy . I'm not someone that likes to stay faffing about with fake tan , I don't have much patience for it , and because of my lack of practice in the art of fake tan ,

Gillette Venus Embrace and Gillette Satin Care Sensitive Gel

Hair removal . The bane of my life . Especially in the summer months , when you can no longer afford to be on the lazier side of things ( just me ? ) . I tried waxing , but I am beyond a wimp , and couldn't face going back monthly . So I went back to shaving ,

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation and PhotoReady Compact Powder

I had bought these ages ago when they first came out , and absolutely adored them ! But I make a bad habit of after buying something new , whatever I was using before ends up lost and forgotten in the back of a make up drawer . So when I was sorting through some of my make up drawers last month
