:: Flormar Official Flagship Launch ::


 Hey there! 

These coming few weeks are filled with exciting events and launches, and I am beyond eager for them! Apart from meeting my fellow blogger friends and other online influencers, I love testing new products and meeting the people behind the brands. 

Last Wednesday I got the amazing opportunity to attend the official launch of Flormar's new flagship store at St George's Bay, right opposite Baystreet Ground Level, and for this I'd like to thank Armand for the invitation! In addition, three new collections were launched, namely The Super Brow, Matte Effect and the Back to School Collection , the latter two being Limited Edition collections. 



The Limited Edition Extreme Matte Collection 

The Limited Edition Back to School Collection

I was also very impressed by the pigment of their Matte Mono Eyeshadows! When it comes to the Flormar Brand, I can honestly say that their quality truly surpassed my expectations, especially taking into consideration the very affordable price range offered! Definitely a student-friendly make-up brand! 



And what about their collection of make-up brushes!? I'm obsessed! 




And their Best Sellers stand looking on point as always!




We were also gifted an amazing goody bag, so stay tuned for the reviews of some of these gorgeous products! 


I also didn't hold back from purchasing some goodies myself! 


Stay tuned for some reviews! I will also be announcing something very exciting in the coming days! Thank you so much girls!

:: Tea Tree Products Review ::

Hey girls! 

So as I was strolling around the supermarket aisles a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled over a brand of products which I had never seen before. It had absolutely gorgeous packaging and immediately caught my eye. 



I decided to give them a try, and hence I would be share my experience with you girls! I also got a special surprise at the end of this post so keep on reading! :) 

1. Tea Tree Daily Use Facial Wipes - For Clean and Healthy Skin

As I have mentioned numerous times before on my blog, I love using make-up removing wipes to remove the majority of my make-up, making it easier for a cleanser or a scrub to work its magic! I have picked up this pack to give a try, and I love it! It does exactly the job, without irritating the skin.



2. Tea Tree Daily Use Foaming Face Wash - for clean healthy skin



I cannot adequately put into words how much this product surprised me! I absolutely fell in love with the scent and the colour, not to mention the convenient pump-like dispenser, It leaves your skin healthy, hydrated and soft, while clearing up any excess make-up which hasn't been fully removed with the wipes. 


3. Tea Tree Daily Use Facial Scrub - for clean and healthy skin, suitable for all skin types




I have recently found out that scrubbing on a daily basis causes more harm than good, especially if one suffers from acne and the scrub is harsh on the skin. This scrub is ah-mazing, not to mention to scent! 

So as promised, I have a little surprise for your girls! I have decided that since I love these products so much, I would choose one person to win all the products reviewed in this post! 

All you have to do is like my Facebook Page and let me know your favourite skin products on the post regarding this giveaway which can also be found on the page! 

Thank you so much for your support!

:: OOTD - Accessorize Tote Bag ::

Hello there! 

I am back with something that is relatively new to my blog, Outfit of the Days! For some reason, I have stayed away from them for quite a long time, but recently I've been into sharing my daily clothing picks with you, so here is another one! 




In this look, I am wearing a navy blue t-shirt dress with side pockets (which are definitely a plus!). I paired it with a pair of gold sandals, and a gorgeous tote bag from Accessorize. 

This bag immediately caught my eye because its colours make it so easy to wear, not to mention it's the perfect size to stuff all my bits and bobs during my long university days. 




I love how it incorporates the touches of blue and red with the classic brown colour - its an absolute must-have! 



I accessorised with a couple of rings from Aldo, and a neutral nail polish from 3ina No. 106. It was my very first time wearing it, and I'm obsessed - definitely recommend! 



I kept my make up look relatively simple, but added a pop of colour to the lips! I also added some extra-sassy stud pearl earrings which I'm absolutely obsessed about! 

Stay tuned for my Back-to-School Posts which will be coming up very soon, until then - stay hustlin' girls!

:: Thalion Skin Care Review ::

Hey there girls! 

About a week ago, as I was getting my nails done at Lola's Salon in Msida, a small array of products on a shelf caught my eye, which I later re-visited for a more thorough look . The brand was called Thalion. 


I went home and carried out some research about the brand; The natural ingredients, such as the main ingredient which is seaweed, are harvested with the consumer in mind, striving to provide them with beneficial minerals and vitamins. 



The owner of Lola's in Msida was kind enough to give me a couple of samples to try out and share my thoughts with you guys! 



1. Thalion Purifying Foaming Cleanser 

This gel works to cleanse and purify the skin from all the dirt and access oils which would have accumulated on the skin throughout the day. The gel is very gentle on the skin, and I personally found it to be very refreshing and clearing. I applied it on a wet face twice daily (morning and night) and then rinsed with fresh water. 

2. Thalion Algo Pur Clarifying Mask

This paste, made from seaweed and clay is perfect to purify and matify oily skin, clearing the skin and regaining the chemical balance. I applied a thick layer twice a week for two weeks, and it truly helped my skin appear fresher and cleaner. 

3. Thalion Algo Pur Mattifying Fluid 

This product is ideal for people having oily skin, as it tends to absorb the access sebum creating a matte finish day in day out. The unique formula works to balance out and offer a healthy radiance and shine to the skin. I apply this every morning after I cleanse my face, for a fresh start to the day! 


Let me know what your favourite products from this brand are; I would love to hear it! Stay tuned for some exciting Back-to-School posts coming your way in the month of September! Have an amazing week girls!

:: Aussie Frizz Miracle Review ::

Hey there girls! 

Not too long ago I managed to get my hands on the Frizz Miracle Remedy Line by the brand Aussie. I have already heard of the brand when I was invited to the official brand launch a couple months back at the beautiful The Galley at Ta Xbiex; link to the post here: https://soarella.blogspot.com.mt/2016/07/aussie-brand-launch-you-with-touch-of.html 

However, getting a hands on experience with the products is always better, which is why I've decided to share my experience of using them through this review! 




Aussie Frizz Miracle Shampoo 

The first thing that caught my attention with regards to this shampoo, was its scent! It is enriched with the scent of Australian Blue Gum Leaves, which gives it its very particularly pleasant smell! As a sufferer of crazy baby hairs, I found it to be great at taming those fly-aways and keeping my hair in place as much as possible, especially in this humid weather. 




Aussie Frizz Miracle Conditioner 

Just like its shampoo counterpart, this conditioner is also provided with the extract of  Australian Blue Gum Leaves, which are from the Australian Eucalyptus Tree, which helps to keep the frizz under control resulting in a smother look in general. I have felt the difference in the texture of my hair even after just a week of solely using Aussie shampoo and conditioner, and I greatly recommend them! 



Aussie Dual Personality Anti-Frizz Conditioning Milk 

This product is enriched with Australian Sea Kelp Extract to ensure a lightweight styling formula. It helps to tame uncooperative hair (thank god!) leaving it silky and well-mannered. Apart from using it on wet hair after giving it a good wash, I also carry it around with me and apply it throughout the day for an extra boost of #hairobedience! This has been without a doubt one of my hair staples this summer! 



Aussie 3 Minutes Miracle Frizz Remedy Deep Treatment 

After using the Frizz Miracle Shampoo, I have been applying a splodge of this product leaving it in to do its magic for about 5 minutes, and then rinsing it out with warm water. It has Australian Jojoba Seed Oil which gives it that extra boost when battling frizz, helping replenish the moisture to the hair, and in turn reducing the presence of frizz. 



My experience with Aussie has been beyond amazing so far, however I look forward to trying more products from this brand, while sharing my thoughts with you guys in the process! Let me know down below which are your favourite hair products at the moment. Thank you so much for your support! xxx

:: Adventure Blog #2 ::

Hello there girls! 

I am back with another #AdventureBlog Post - About two weeks ago I had the opportunity to travel for a day to the beautiful island of Sicily in the Mediterranean. We had to wake up extremely early to board our ship on time. 

Our first stop was Toarmina, arguably Sicily's most beautiful city! On the way there we had the opportunity to stop and take in the beautiful sight of Isola Bella, also known as the The Pearl of the Ionian Sea. There is also a narrow path which often connects the island to the mainland. Definitely in my plans to revisit and swim there! 


Once we got there, we had the opportunity to roam around and shop for a little while, before having lunch. I absolutely loved going around the little antique streets making up the beauty of the city! 



The views from this city are to die for! Not to mention the crystal blue sea surrounding the gorgeous island! 


We also enjoyed looking at the souvenirs which are made by hand by the locals. 




After having lunch, we made our way to the Etna Volcano (which is active) found on the east coast of Sicily in Catania. We hiked up some craters, and also visited the tourist shops open on site. 




I absolutely loved visiting this great island once again! Let me know where you've been lately; I'd love to read about it! 
Thank you so much!

:: Look of the Day #1 ::

Hey there girls! I would first like to start this post by apologizing for not having posted for a while, the reason being that work took over my life! However I am back and better than ever! 

Yesterday I went out with my family for lunch and later met up with a couple of friends, and therefore I thought about sharing my make-up look and hair with you! I hope you enjoy it! xx


For yesterday's outfit, I decided to keep my hair down but I still wanted to have it stay out of my face. So I decided to create a middle part with a thin comb. Then I took a small section of hair from the front of both the sides, and tied it at the back of my head. I did this with a hair tie, but you can also pin it with a bobby pin too!  This looks very similar to a half up half down look, which is also one of my favourites for everyday!



I rocked some cutoff ripped jean shorts, and paired them with a plain white tank top and a bohemian looking kimono which is a very recent addition to my wardrobe. I also wore some strappy silver sandals and a couple of mid rings to tie the whole look together. 



I went for a relatively simple make-up look using the following products: 
- Inglot Freedom System Palette 
- Essence Bronze Eyeshadow Palette 
- Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Foundation 
- Sibella Milano Eyeliner
- Essence Plump no Clump Mascara 
- Wynie Blush in 003 
- Man Fei Eyebrow Filler 
- Constance Carroll Lipliner in Clover Pink
- Essence Lip Shine in Like a Princess 

I also wanted to add in a couple of picture bloopers which my beloved sister had taken while snapping the pictures for this post! Enjoy! 




I hope you enjoyed this post! Its a first for me as I never did anything similar to this, let alone the same. But I don't plan it to be the last! Let me know what you think below and stay tuned for more posts coming up this week!
