Urgently Seeking Bronzer
2009-03-31 20:16:00
Today i was quite scared when i looked at my Bobbie Brown bronzer. There is just some left around the edges and i seriously dont know what i will do when its finished.They dont sell Bobbi Brown in Malta and i cant seem to find this bronzer online where i can actually get it shipped to me...Does anyone else know of a matte bronzer that i can buy online?I have loads of shimmery ones but i have an oily skin so i prefer dusting this one over my face.

Getting Nostalgic
2009-03-31 19:12:00
So today was a public holiday here in Malta and i didnt do much except editing some photo's and organise cupboards...My boyfriend starting going through some of his old photos on flickr and that made me want to check out my old pic. I have loads and loads but this one caught my eye.It was taken in Costa Rica during my cloning phase. I spent a month and a half there and basically did nothing! Lol, it sucked big time but at least i bettered my photography skills! :PSometimes i do wish i had a twin though. So much fun to be had!

Some funny vids from way back!
2009-03-30 16:24:00
No idea why i made this one but it seemed like a good idea at the time! Lol, this was filmed at a place my sister and her husband rented down in Camps Bay in SA.At our apartment block in San Jose, Costa Rica. It started raining at about 1 in the afternoon everyday. Even though it was super hot. Sometimes we would go swim with umbrellas because the rain hurt us :PIn the Bahamas at Atlantis acting totaly drunk and stupid. Later that night i was hanging on those dolphins! (well almost :P )Such a funny one! Hungover and eating Mcdonalds in the car. I came up with the trick of holding a chip next to the closed window and then the seagulls would fly into it.Random sillynessSome more random sillyness :PMy man playing poi outside at my parents house.Miss home sooooo much!

Who pays for your make up poll
2009-03-30 14:40:00
I thought it would be fun doing a poll to see how people pay for all the make up they buy. Its quite an expensive obsession in my opinion and my boyfriend usually pays for everything or when i am in SA my mom always insists on paying even though i say no and feel super bad for ages afters!Who pays for your make up? Vote on the sidebar! I wont know who you are so feel free to choose any answer :)xx

Party Look
2009-03-30 09:06:00
Arrggg i am so upset with myself! On Saturday night we went out to a friends surprise birthday party but while i was getting ready i had some wine (like two glasses) and then all my photo taking skills apparently go out the window!I had one pic that wasn't blurry and i didn't even take any of my eyes closed so you can see the look! Lol, dunno what i was thinking!Anyway had a fun time but sort of strange because the clocks moved back so when it was supposed to be turning one it turned two. Missed a whole hour of partying! :PLots of champagne and vodka was going around but i was a good girl and didn't have to much!Thanks goodness because while my man was feeling horrible all day i was fine just a bit tired!Products used:Face:ElizabethArden cerimide plump perfect foundationModels prefer concealer paletteBobbi brown medium bronzing powderMaybelline mineral blushSmashboxsoft fusion lights in celebrityC2000 powderEyes:UDPPRimmel color mousse in SassyRimmel color rush mono eyeshadow in ...

Superficial Gossip

Paris Hilton's new boy had this to day to In Touch:"Paris would make a great mom -- she's my Angel Princess. I'd love to have some mini Parises one day," Doug told In Touch at LA's MyHouse on March 20. "I'd love to have children, that's what completes your life," added Paris.Do you think Paris would be a good mom? Maybe it will calm her down like it did Nicole Richie :)Ok so i know this pic of Rihanna's tattoo has been all over the web but i thought i would post it anyway. A lot of people have been saying shame, she needs to go see someone so disturbing blah blah blah.... I think that's nonsense, she probably got it to feel empowered and strong and in control, not because she wants to shoot Chris Brown or something...I have three stars going down my tummy hip bone area called the milky way, i want to get them extended this summer :)Do any of you have tattoo's?

Weeks Favorite make up looks
2009-03-26 18:17:00
I love purples and pinks on eyes cheeks and lips and i absolutely adore Natalie Portmans look here! Elegant dewy striking romantic all in one!I dont think i will wear this as a night look but i think its a nice bold day look :)These days Paris Hilton's make up is usually quite drag queenish with super red lips etc so i was glad to see her with a soft look. She looks like some kind of nymph.I am sure i am going to do this as a summer look!

Woop woop! Went to go fetch my residency card today! Sooooo happy! Its valid for 5 years till my passport expires and even though we probably wont live here that long its still nice.I dont have to get visas for travelling in Europe anymore which is super super amazing! Fellow South Africans will know how much trouble we have to go through (and money we have to spend) to get Schengen visas.Lol, you can also see the self tanner starting to kick in cant you? :) Plus i used a sample of rimmel hydrasense foundation and i actually like it alot! I am not sure about staying power yet but its better than anything else i have at the moment (except my Elizabeth Arden cermide plump, which i will be buying another one of soon!)I also only saw after i took the pics how much my hair is standing up everywhere! It was taken before i put my John Frieda frizz ease spray on! Oops!Products i used:Face:Rimmel Hydrasense foundationBobbi brown BronzerBobbi brown desert pink on cheeksELF concealerC2000 powd...

Look of the day - Lets Vogue
2009-03-25 13:34:00
I decided to do this Scarlett Johansson look today because i thought her cover of Vogue was soooo sexy!Unfortunately i found out when i was trying to do the look i had no eyeshadow matches and because i have been using self tan i wasn't very white anymore like she is in the pic. I used my lightest foundation and tried to recreate hair and make up and although it doesn't look Scarlett inspired at all i quite like it!The flash on my cam also washed out all the color... Pity it could be a cool look if it was done right!Hehe, just goes to show i need more neutral and brown color eye shadows! Stop buying brights already!

Sometimes i am really glad i am not a celebrity!Everyone has their beauty mishaps and off days but we dont all get them flaunted on camera! (although i dont think there is much excuse for hairy legs on the red carpet, unless your male of course!)You can check out the rest of the funny pics here - The SuperficialHave you ever had an embarrassing beauty mishap caught on film?I know my sister once put tape over her nipples underneath a black boob tube so it would look like she was wearing a bra but then on all the night out pics you could see the tape through the top! Awful :PI have loads of malfunctioning tit tape but nothing ever caught on camera! thank goodness :)

Hollywood Smile?
2009-03-24 09:25:00
A week ago I bought Pearl drops Hollywood smile because i felt my teeth weren't as white as i would like them.I have been using it twice a day (sometimes more because i am a freak like that....) and i can honestly say that i feel i can see results already.I should have taken before's so i could see the difference but i forgot....I still have two weeks to go because it says two shades lighter in three weeks and if i really like the results i will keep on using it for summer.Fake tan and super white teeth go perfectly together dont they! lol

Make up gone wrong...

All the elements of a potential great look are thereSmoky eyesPretty lip colorShiny hairFlawless skinBut damn i just dont think this works. To much eyeliner at the bottom of her eyes, clown cheeks, severe eyebrows and overdone lips.If it was just a little bit less and a little bit softer i think this could have been amazing..What do you girls think?

Geting a tan
2009-03-23 15:42:00
I went to the grocery store today to go buy healthy food, partly because my man is sick but also so i can get started with Bubblegarms 4 week challenge! It was a bit difficult walking past the chips and chocolates but i distracted myself by buying something else.I love two for one specials and with summer around the corner and me still being a horrible shade of not brown i decided to buy the Nivea gradual tan in medium.I have used this before and i really like it because i dont wake up the next day after applying it looking orange.I am also quite lazy when it comes to putting on the stuff the right way and usually use selftan like its cream and it comes out all splotchy but this kind of fades in and if you use it everyday it gives you a very natural looking tan.I only paid 4.99 euro for two so thats a huge bonus as well!I must say though the best way for me to get brown is spraytan, i love love love it!I have been on sunbeds (i was young and didnt know better)Tan can (ok this was be...

Freaky Fly Nails
2009-03-23 11:54:00
I painted my nails with the Eyeko Vamp nail polish yesterday and this morning i thought i would experiment a little. I wanted to make it like a shimmer blue so i took some teal pigment and clear nail polish and painted over the Vamp.I really thought it was just going to be like a light glitter blue over the dark navy but to my surprise the pigment totally dissolved or melted or whatever into the funniest looking shiny green color!It reminds my of flies (they have like this funny green on their bodies somewhere)I cant say i really like this color but it is quite interesting!Now i know that mixing pigments and nail polish might not be the best idea! :P

2009-03-23 09:14:00
Awww i am so naughty! If you follow me on Twitter you would have seen that i said i was bored yesterday afternoon and boredom leads to online shopping! Lol, well its very true. I had been browsing around ebay looking for some MAC sugarsweet items but then started getting interested in MAC glosses... I dont have any glosses so i thought i would take a chance and bid on the Coral Little Darlings holiday set because it was so cheap. Anyway my bid won! Woohoo.Cant wait to get these. Especially underage which i have been wanting to try out.My next purchase on ebay will probably be a grand duo and saint germain lipstick.I also want to buy a few china glaze polishes (i adore the names!! how lola can you go... hahaha who comes up with that!)In other news my mom got her first MAC brush yesterday! We spoke on the phone for ages last night and she was like i got a MAC eyeshadow brush, why is it so expensive!My sister also reported that pink fish was sold out in the V&A branch in Cape Town ...

Look of the day - No More Roots!
2009-03-22 15:35:00
Lol, ok the title is a bit misleading... After i took this pic on friday morning i decided i needed some root touch ups! You can totaly see the boring brown peeking out :PI did my hair with mahogany this time and i noticed that its time to start buying two or even three boxes of dye because i just have to much hair! I never even dye all of my hair! heheAnyway its a very nice dark rich color now but i know its going to fade and go lighter in a few weeks!I think its time i go to the hairdresser again. Its just so damn expensive here. I go to Tony & Guy and its costs about 200 euros for cut, color and blowdry which i think is insane but thats just me!I might go to this other salon where its apparently only like 40 euros but i am scared its going to come out horrible.Maybe i should do the cut at T&G and the color at the other place....Hmmmmm will have to think about it!Products used:Face:Elizabeth Arden flawless finish bare perfection foundationElf concealerBobbi brown bronzer a...

Nivea Regenerating Night Cream Review
2009-03-06 14:47:00
I bought a new night cream yesterday as my previous one was finished and i didn't feel it was doing that much for my skin.I decided to buy Nivea 's regenerating night cream (we don't have loads of brands to choose from...) and i quite like nivea anyway. I already use their oil free day moisturizer and that's great!So last night i washed my face and put on my eye cream and then the night cream and i thought OH NO, i am going to wake up with an oil slick and spots everywhere (although it says its for normal to combination skin)When i smoothed it on it felt very thick and sort of greasy feeling... I hoped for the best switched of the lights and went to bed.I woke up this morning soooo surprised. My skin absorbed the heavy cream and it left it super soft and feeling perfect. No greasiness or oiliness. This is quite strange because with my last cream it dried out my skin when i applied it and then when i woke up my skin was oily!Anyway my skin has been soft feeling all day and not as ...
