Getting to know your spots!

Hey beauties,
Hope you are all doing well. So lately I came across this article on cosmo which I found really interesting and thought I would share it with all of you:)
It basically helps you understand some pimples which you might occasionally get and the reason behind them- something we all would really want to know, right ?

 However, if your really struggle with acne I definitely recommend talking to a dermatologist, it will be worthwhile.

Read the article HERE: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/advice/a30911/things-your-pimples-say-about-your-health/

Hope your found this helpful!
Lots of love,

Go to Nude Lip

Hey guys,
Hope you have all had a great start to your new year.

At the moment lips are big thing and I thought why not write about how I achieve a nude lip. (as seen in the picture below)

Nude lip with gloss -glossier finish

The first thing I like doing is prime my lips by using a bit of foundation. Although this can leave your lips feeling rather dry it will make a huge difference at how long the lipstick takes to ware off.

Then I apply a lip liner - the one I am currently using is in the shade 050 TIRAMISU by rimmel. Its more of an orange tone liner I would say but still works great with this look.
Imp TIP when it comes to making you lips look bigger and to achieve a nice neat look is sharpen your liner and make sure to 'stretch' your lips out as much as possible- hope that was helpful I can't really explain it haha

After this I go in with my favourite lipstick at the moment - The NYX High Voltage lipstick in the colour ONE.

This is one of the latest ranges NYX released and going by the quality of this colour I can't wait to try out the others. It is very moisturizing and pigmented - big love.

Now the next step I do not always do depends on my liking . Sometimes I like to apply some lip gloss on top. 

I love this one from elizabeth arden however, I have forgot the name of its shade.. excuse the state of it but it's about to finish .. how sad is that ? But I trying to find some dupes for it .. let you know if i do. 

Oh, and another tip to achieve that perfect edgy defined lip is after your all ready go over the skin around your lips with a little bit of concealer using a brush.

If you live in Malta you can find the rimmel products in most drugstore beauty shops I got mine from beauty plus Valletta. 

As regarding the lipstick you can get from roseberry or NYX.

The lipgloss you might find at franks but I cannot grantee it, 

Both the lip liner and lipstick can be found online on: www.feelunique.com

Hope this was helpful!

Melissa Hand Care Collection

Hey Beauties!
Hope you're all doing well. I've decided to talk about some hand care products which I have been trying out.
I got the Melissa Hand Care Collection which is a collection from Neal's Yard Remedies. It comes in a beautifully designed box which has an amazing floral pattern - making ideal to be given as a gift.

Inside you then have four products, being the following:

• Nourishing Melissa Hand Polish
• Melissa Hand Cream
• Nourishing Melissa Nail Balm
• Nail Brush 

So let's  look at each product individually ...

Nourishing Melissa Hand Polish 

This is more of a scrub, helps to exfoliate  your skin. For all those with dry hand this is perfect. It helps to make them much softer. It has a nice lemon and herb scent. All you need to do to use it is imply wet your hands, message it gently into your skin and rinse. And to make things even better it is 91% organic.

Melissa Hand Cream 

After rinsing your hands it is time to apply some of the hand cream. This can be used on all skin types and helps to protect your skin. It also a good layer of protection for your nails. It has quite a creamy a rich consistency, however takes a while to dry. 

As regarding the smell, it is just like the scrub. And also it is 82% organic. 

The Nail Brush 

After using the hand cream you can brush your nails using the nail brush. This comes with two sides of very dense bristles, one side being larger than the other.

The Nail Balm 

Last but not least, we have the nail balm which comes in a little tube. The tip is also rather small so not a lot of product comes out where you end up wasting half of it. It helps to promote healthy nails and cuticles so for all you who frequently experience chipped nails something like this would be ideal. To apply all you need to do is apply some on your cuticles and message in. It smells just the same like the rest of the products in the collection. 

Organic? Of course this product is also 86% organic. 

This set truly helps you to detoxify your hands, making a big difference in the texture of your hands making them nice and soft. 

Hope you enjoyed,

Real Techniques Brush Review

Hey guys
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas!

Today I was thinking about talking a bit about my favourite brushes at the moment - Real Techniques.
I am happy to say my collection is slowly growing. At the moment I own the stippling brush, sculpting brush and last but not least the blush brush.

Till now I have to say I absolutely love all 3 of them.
All of them are soo inexpensive and are of great quality! So if you are a student looking of a good deal like me, I definitely recommend them.

Another benefit of these brushes is that they were created by youtube beauty gurus so someone who is not such an expert when it comes to make up can easily go and watch online tutorials on Nic & Sam Chapman's channel.

The Stippling Brush 

I previously owned stippling brushes from NYX  and every time I used all the hairs from the brush would be scattered all over my face - very undesirable. However when i bought the RT techniques stippling brush I was very impressed. It is very easy to use and does the job really well.

What I like doing is squeezing a blob of foundation on the back of my hand and using my fingers I distributed along my face in little dots then I stipple using this brush and blend it into my skin giving me a nice finish.

The Sculpting Brush 

I personally use this brush to apply bronzer and give my face more definition.  Its bristles are at an angle make application much easier. What I like doing is I do the so called fish face and apply a little bit on the brush then blend it downwards.

The Blush Brush 

I got this brush as a Christmas present and I was more than happy when I got it. I was really surprised at how soft the bristles are .. I never felt a brush which was so soft. I really leaves a nice effect and colours the apples of your cheeks without that over the top look.

I absolutely love all 3 brushes and can't wait to purchase more. A definite recommend!

Where can you purchase them ?
Well locally in Malta they are in all shops, however, there are a few shops such as beautyplus in Valletta and big local supermarkets.
