:: Brand Focus - 3INA Store::

Hey girls! 

Last Saturday I got the opportunity to attend the luanch of the new make-up store 3INA which just opened in Qormi. Saying that I've been blown away is an understatement! I have a thing for organisation and colour-coded things and this was heaven! 



I decided to snap some pictures for you to show you around the gorgeous shop! Check out these amazing nail polishes! 







I also fell in love with their choice of lip colours! From lipsticks to lipglosses, lipliners and mattes! They're to die for! 









And check out their gorgeous eyes-shadows girls! A great choice of shades to choose from! 





Their facial products such as their cleansing milk and their toner! Definitely on my wishlist! xx






Their eyeliners, coloured mascaras, concealers, foundations... the shop is never-ending girls! 








I definitely recommend you to visit the store and treat yourself! Their prices are very affordable, and you're bound to fall in love with the brand! Let me know what you think!

I would also love to thank the salespeople over there for showing me around especially Henry and Francesca! 



Thank you so much!

For my hair products, I am currently obsessing over some Tresemme goodies! I am either applying the Tresemme Luxurious Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner, or else this Keratin Smooth Shampoo or Conditioner. I also often apply the Tresemme Breakage Defence Restructuring Treatment Masque 





Now I'm moving on to my current favourites with regards to skincare products! Mt absolute favourite at the moment is the Olay Refreshing Facial Wash. But I also occassionally use the Simple Kind to Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub, together with the Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer.

:: Bata S/S 2016 Launch ::

Hey there beautiful people!

So a couple of days ago I visited the Bata store at Valletta, as they were having the launch of their Spring/Summer Collection! To be honest, I was never a big follower of this brand simply because I never got the chance to visit their stores. But this definitely changed my mind; their shoes and bags are gorgeous! 


I managed to snap a couple of pictures throughout my visit, and I decided to share with you some of my favourites! Something I found interesting was that they managed to incorporate some brights, pastels as well as the monochromatic look which I'm so obsessed with! Have a look! xx







Also, I am obsessed with slip-ons! I love their chic look and how they can easily be paired with jeans and a t-shirt; sometimes even with dresses! Here are a couple of my favourites, which I'm definitely eyeing at the moment! 




And what about these for when you're feeling extra sassy in the morning! 



They also had some beautiful bags! And this gorgeous bucket bag which matches the slip-ons! 




I hope you enjoyed this post girls! I have a newly formed love for this brand and their aesthetic! I love how they manage to incorporate the different trends in their shop, enabling everyone to find something for sure! 

Thank you for your support! I will soon be finishing exams and I'm planning some very exciting projects this summer with some local photographers so stay tuned!

:: Nude Love @ Lola's! ::

Hello there girls! 

So last week I got my nails done by the talented Michaela Lapira at my go-to nail salon Lola's in Msida. Unlike the past times I've been there, this time I went with an idea in mind - I wanted something neutral and matte (inspired by the beautiful Kelsey from rosiecheeksandfreckles!) And this is exactly what I got done!




Unfortunately I had to shorten my nails as two of them chipped a few days before my appointment! But I'm still happy with them, and since I've been trying to make them look healthier lately, a fresh start is always good, so I guess I have found the bright side of things! 



The thumb, pointing finger and pinky are in the colour 'Country Club Khaki' by the brand Orly, and the middle and ring fingers are in the colour 'What a Knight' by Gelish. In addition, I asked for a matte effect to be put on the thumb, pointer and pinky fingers for that little extra spice!




I prefer applying gelish because it lasts for a long time and helps me lengthen my nails without a problem! It also takes way (waaaay!) longer for the nails to break and the colours to chip! So I find it very beneficial, especially in summer since I spend a lot of my time at the beach! So get those sunglasses ready girls! 




I have been loving the feeling of having made-up nails lately, as its a very new thing for me! I was never into getting my nails done, or doing my nails in general for that matter! It was way too much hassle, applying it, just to have it chip hours later! But this lasts for approximately 3 weeks so I definitely recommend you looking into it! 

I hope you enjoyed this post girls! Take care xxx

:: Olay Products Review! ::

Hello there girls!

I am so sorry for not posting for so long, but I am currently sitting for my university exams and as most of you would predict, they're taking most of my time! However, I've been pampering myself with some Olay products this week, and I decided to share my thoughts about them with you! 






The products I will be talking about are the Olay 2 in I Cleanser and Toner, The Olay Refreshing Facial Cleansing Gel, the Olay Facial Cleansing Wipes as well as the Olay Complete Lightweight Day Fluid. 

1. Olay Complete Lightweight Day Fluid 

This product moisturises and hydrates dry skin, while protecting your skin! It is very easy to apply, and meets the perfect combination between lightweight making it easy to message into the skin, while not being greasy and hence preventing the clogging of facial pores. Lately, I've been applying this about three to four times a week to make sure that my skin remains hydrated as the hot weather takes over! 






2. Olay Refreshing Facial Cleansing Gel 

Since I've been spending a lot of time at home, I wake up and start my day by washing my face in the morning with the Olay Refreshing Facial and Cleansing Gel. It gives me such a boost in the morning! It cleanses the face and helps to achieve a fresh feeling. In addition, it helps me maintain the moisture in my skin, which I desperately need as I have relatively dry skin! It also serves to ensure that pores are not clogged. It is a gel substance which makes it easy to apply, not to mention the scent - It's divine! It is made with Aloe Vera and Cucumber Extracts, so imagine that! 



3. Olay Facial Cleansing Wipes

I use make-up cleansing wipes to remove most of my make-up, before removing my eye make-up with remover, scrubbing and washing my face with a facial gel. These wipes served their purpose and did indeed remove the product, but for some reason, my eyes would get watery and irritated when I used them. However a good friend of mine uses these wipes and finds them perfect for her skin, so maybe I just had a negative reaction to them. She definitely recommends them though! 



4. Olay 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner 

This product forms part of the Essentials line of Olay, and you'll soon know why! I used this almost daily these past couple of weeks, to gently cleanse and refresh my face, as well as to remove any dirt particles. It is also intended for people with normal, dry and combination skin, and it serves to remove excess oil leaving a refreshing cooling effect. In addition, it helps to reduce the appearance of pores, which everyone tries to avoid! Like the Facial Cleansing Gel, it is made with Aloe Vera and Cucumber Extracts and it also smells amazing - I honestly recommend this! 





I hope you enjoyed this post girls! It isn't like anything I usually talk about but I loved testing out these products! Stay tuned for something special about some Pantene goodies I've been obsessed with lately! 

Thank you for your support!
