A few weeks ago I briefly mentioned my 'lost' make-up during my last trip to the UK. It might seem trivial, but I try to buy all my beauty products in the UK, I guess it's just something that I am used too and I get pretty attached to them. But, thank goodness a few days later my make-up finally came, a little bruised and battered, my eyebrow palette exploded everywhere, but it's not a big deal. Hurray and my faith is again restored on the Spanish correos! To add to a good day, my order from … [Read more...]
Review: Birchbox Summer Subscription Box
I headed for the UK about three weeks ago, on my return trip I left all my make up behind. Damn those airport rules and their separate see through bags! I knew that one of these days that was going to happen. I only realise when I reached the security point that I didn't have my obligatory plastic bag. The horror. And. that was the last last day I ever wore make up. As soon as got back in Valencia, I asked my daughter to send them to me, and to cut a long story short, she didn't keep the … [Read more...]
Momiji Keyring Prize thanks to Momiji
I can't really remember what got me in to Momiji in the first place, but from what I can recall my little obsession started about seven years ago. I've always been into the Japanese kawaii (cute) stuff since I was little, and growing up in the Philippines, Sanrio and San-X were the most known brands, they created stuff such as Hello Kitty and Afro Ken which I really use to obsess with, from the note pads, pencil cases and school bags... I wanted it ALL! Since then I've never shook off that … [Read more...]
Stylish Summer Glasses from ASOS
Summer is finally here, and one thing I learned last year was to invest in some good sunglasses. Not only they are an absolute necessity, but they also make you look pretty cool and hide those heavy eye bags on early morning school runs! Everyone here wears them. Indoors, outdoors, winter, spring and during the summer you will find them permanently glued to my head. Last year I went through about five cheap sunglasses and being pretty clumsy, I tend to sit on them or drop them, so in total, … [Read more...]
Birchbox: Finding out the Best Beauty Products in Spain
I've always loved trying out beauty products and when I was back in the UK I was always up to date with the latest make-up or beauty ranges, but since moving to Spain, I have put my beauty needs in the back burner due to the lack of brands that I am familiar with. Surprisingly enough, I have not gone out and made the effort to try and find out the best beauty products in Spain and I've not really had the time. I'm a fan of brands such as, Benefit, Urban Decay, No7, Soap & Glory, Botanics … [Read more...]
REVIEW: Aveeno Lotion
A few weeks ago the lovely people behind Fuel My Blog have asked me to review a few products from the Aveeno® range. To be honest I have never heard of them before, but hey, I'm willing to try anything. One thing that impressed me about Aveeno® was that it is made from natural ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal and shea butter and if you are passionate about your beauty products as I am, you would know that these ingredients really have great benefits for the condition of your skin. I … [Read more...]
