Everyone seemed to have perfect and immaculate hands! Just looked at mine and seriously I bite the areas around my nail and not the actual nail.... They are just a bit horrible. I bought a cuticle oil and I intend to you know just a do a kind of weekly mani session :)
3) Lip colours, Bright colours ....Clothes...
I blame Martina for this. She actually inspired me to wear more bright lip colours! She also encouraged me to kind of wear more daring things and not the usual plain and boring stuff. Here is what I got lately.
Yeahh it was free with Cosmo... that is why I bought it haha
Romy
sorbet - wild watermelon
4) Lashes
It seemed everyone in London wore lashes! I am determined to do my best!!
I am very picky about eyelashes and tbh these weren't the cheapest either...
London was full of inspiration. I felt free and kind of in heaven with all those ideas around you.
An old friend of mine asked me this the other day:
" I wish to change brands of my makeup and buy everything new
prefer to purchase things online....could you please help me out by telling me which sites are the best ...both in quality and price ...Thanks in advance for your advice :) "
And I was like, 'this is actually a good idea as a blog post!'
So, here they are a list of some of my favourites that I have tried and tested which are all very affordable :) I have been loving online beauty websites and I think they offer a vast range of things which you sometimes don't find in Malta.
I didn't include foundation foundation as personally I love to buy it 'hands on' sort of.
Scroll to the end for all the websites that I purchase makeup from. Certain websites carry the same brands and some products are cheaper on one website then the other so find the cheapest ;)
Face Powder
I have only had this for a couple of weeks but I seriously think it is one of the best powders ever.
Get it from asos.com or feelunique.com. It is around 2 euros cheaper than buying it from Malta.
Blush
elf blushes were one of my 1st blushes I owned. These are very pigmented and are very affordable!
I like to buy eyeshadows in Palettes or trios or quads just because I think they are more worth it like this and you have more variety in one single product.
I love the Wet n Wild ones! They are seriously inexpensive and super pigmented!
I live by Maybelline mascaras. I think they are the best around. I adore the Volume Express One by One. It just volumises the lashes perfectly! I dont have one right now and I don't know if it still available but you can get it (or other Maybelline ones) at feelunique.com
Eyeliner
I got converted to using gel liners recently and I absolutely love the Maybelline one.
Get it from feelunique.com. It is seriously cheaper then buying it from Malta!
Eyebrows
I love pencils for defining eyebrows. I don't really have the patience for using eyeshadows.
I have recently made a rather big purchase (and I have another one coming soon!)
Watch my haul here!
Anyways,
My most used lip product so far from this Haul has to be the L'Oreal Caresse Wet Shine Stain. Check their website here.
I have the one in Juliet.
I have to say that Reds are not my favourite lipsticks. I always thought that due to my olive skin type orange colours suite me better. This red is a pinkish red rather than that bright red!
I have been wearing this product nonstop! I just love it!
It is not sticky at all as it is a very watery based lipstain.
Lipstain.
Yes, it is. It stays for ever! I use it to work and after hours it is still there even after eating and drinking. It is somewhat not as drying but after a certain amount of time it can feel a bit drying. I think this is standard for all lipstains or long lasting lip products.
The trick is not to apply too much as it will transfer.
I like to apply a little amount at a time. Then I apply as necessary.
