This Summer I have been loving floral patterns, pastel colours, off the shoulder tops, crop tops and high waisted shorts and skirts. Here are my Summer Outfits that I have put together which I had previously worn during these Summer Months –
I hope you are all having a lovely SUNDAY! Many of you are probably celebrating today with your families and your dad’s. I know I am, we are soon going to have a good home cooked lunch.
Yesterday I uploaded a new video on my Summer Essentials. This was a collaboration with Ashley Stoyko, make sure you can visit her channel. And we decided of putting together our Summer Essentials. We decided on choosing 5 but we couldn’t stick with that and we chose more. I based my Essentials around 7 different items.
#1 – BB Creams
I love applying BB Creams in Summer. I can also create a makeup look with only my BB Cream and ignoring the foundation step. In summer putting on foundation during the day is a little bit stressful especially on our Maltese Islands unless you set it will and have a good setting spray (which I will mention in my next essential).
My favourite BB Cream is the Rimmel9 in 1 BB Cream. I have a review all about this you can visit it right here.
#2 – Makeup Setting Sprays
We all need this in our collection especially during summer. In winter I tend to forget setting my makeup with one of these but in Summer if I forget it, I regret it!
My favourite setting sprays are – the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, the Avon Mark Setting Spray and the Gerard Cosmetics Slay All Day Setting Spray in the Peach scent.
#3 – Crop TopsÂ
I live in crop tops during the summer. I mostly buy them from H&Mand they just make a summer outfit pop! I love wearing them with high waister shorts and sandals.
#4 – Hats
The two hats I own are from H&M and Primark. I love running around with them, doing my daily errands. A hat is your best friend in summer .. that and sunglasses and sunscreen – we cannot forget those!
#5 – Bikinis
I don’t go swimming much and I prefer going to a pool rather than the sea. The irony is Malta is known for its sunny beaches .. so yeah. But of course I still go, sometimes but I go. And I bought these 2 bikinis I showed on my video last summer from ebay and those are the ones I am using this year!
#6 – Lip StainsÂ
I love matte lips but in Summer I prefer lip stains. They are so lightweight on the lips and leave your lips moisturised. They last all day and there’s no way you will need to reapply these. I love using the MUA Inked Lip Stain – I love their formula and they are so soft on the lips.
#7 – Summer readsÂ
I love lounging on the beach or the pool with a book. I think I prefer reading a book rather than going for a swim and getting my hair all tangled up either with sea salt water or chlorine!
I have plenty other summer essentials but I would say that these are my basics!
What are your summer essentials?Â
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post, thank you so much for doing so!
Today’s blog post is all about bornprettystore cosmetics. This is a website which sells a variety of products such as makeup, jewellery, mobile phone covers and other things! The shipping does take a while so be patient if you do order. However, the website is very user friendly and they have great customer service!
I am also sharing a 10% discount code you could use in checkout on all original priced items. The discount code is – KEZZH10.
I would like to thankbornprettystore for giving me this opportunity of testing out 5 items. Here is me trying them out on video –
Here is a further review on the products – Fan Brush
I love this brush, it feels so soft on the skin. It also blends the highlight nicely on my skin. This is a great highlight brush on a budget.
I simply love the packaging of this lip balm it is just too cute! It simply refreshes the lips just a little bit but doesn’t really moisturise them all that well.
This may be a little dry on the lips even though I applied the moisturising lip balm which should have helped it to make it less dry. But ignoring that aside, it is a lovely matte lipstick.
The shade is a gorgeous dark plum and purple shade and it isn’t patchy. It is quite long lasting, just needs a retouch after eating!
There are better drugstore eyeshadow palettes out there. Even though I created a good enough look I still think it isn’t that worth it.
I also damped my eyeshadow flat brush to apply a shade all around my eye base which helped in enhancing the eyeshadow shade. The shadows are quite powdery and they aren’t that pigmented.
Now I am not a big fan of eye lashes simply because I am not that good at applying them! I applied these with my Ardell lash glue and the lashes applied nicely. They looked natural with my real lashes and I have used them multiple times since the video.
I really recommend these lashes however, they were a little bit too big for my eye shape but all you simply need to do is trim to your length.
Have you ever ordered from this website? Have you ever tried out any of these products? If so, then comment down below!Â
If not, what are your thoughts on this website and these products? I would love to hear from you guys!
I am so excited to be sharing with you this Youtube Video. As you know lip videos are my favourite ones to film. I have previously filmed my favourite seasonal lipsticks however, never did one for Winter until now!!
So here are my favourite 10 lipsticks that are all reasonably priced as all of them are drugstore as I now have realised!!
MUA Velvet Lip Lacquer in Harmony
As you know I love the MUA Velvet Lip Lacquers. Even though they aren’t long last and need a constant re application especially when food or drink is involved, their range is great. They have so many shades in their collection including four new SPRING shades1!!
Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Point Zero
This was one of the collaborations that Kathleen Lights did with Colourpop and of course I had to get my hands on it! I love the formula of their satin lips and this lip shade screams winter!! Kathleen also released a new set of three lipsticks with Colourpop called Aquarius Bundle!
Essence XXXL Longlasting Velvet Matte Lipgloss in Silky Red
The formula isn’t the best but the scent of this lipstick is AMAZING! I have only managed to get my hands on one of these shades from this range. I love the formula as it is very soft and creamy!
Focallure Matte Lips in Shade 03 Burnt Amber
I purchased these off Ebay and I love the range. They are a little patchy and a little bit sticky but when I apply some sort of lip moisturiser before hand it definitely helps!
3ina Lipstick Shade 102
3INA is a brand that we recently got in Malta, there are 3 branches and I love the shop and the way it is designed! I love their products, and they are well priced too! The only thing that I don’t like about this lipstick is the bullet is so annoying to apply with!
BH Cosmetics Bh Liquid Lipstick in Clara
I absolutely love the formula of these lipsticks! They dry to a matte perfect finish and they have the fastest drying formula that I have ever tried! They are also long lasting as well!
NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Copenhagen
I love the Soft Matte Lip Range from NYXÂ I think they have such a lovely range of shades! The scent that these lipsticks have is AMAZING!! I like this shade however you have to be so careful around it as it tends to get patchy!
HUDA Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in Vixen – Ebay Replica
So I cannot lie and tell you that this is the original products but no it is a knock off from Ebay. And I was hesitant in trying these out but I did and actually like how the colour pay off truly is! They do have a scent to them not a chemically one as you would expect off ebay! They are a little patchy and need constant re application but apart from those factors I love this lipstick!
Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in Magnetic
The MilaniAmore Matte Lip Creme’s are by far my favourite liquid lipsticks! They have the sweetest scents from all these lipsticks I have mentioned! They are not that long lasting but are so soft and creamy! They apply so well and smoothly across the lips !! The applicator is helpful in creating a precise shape onto your lips!
Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Dominatrix – Ebay Replica
Again, this is a knock off and yes I did not want to spend all that money on the real thing, and was I happy with my decision? YES!! I love it. It is a little bit drying but again applying some moisturiser or lip balm before applying this lipstick definitely helps!! I love the shade it’s sort of a dusty mauavey brown and pink mixed together!!
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday !! My goodness aren’t I exhausted !! It’s Sunday evening and I still have a lot of things I need to do so I would be satisfied with what I want to get done before a new week starts again !!

Anyway’s back on Saturday – the last day of 2016 – I uploaded a video and never got a chance to share it here on my blog. As I share every video I upload here on my blog I thought that this video couldn’t be the first one that I forget to share here!
Especially since it is a video that I will constantly watch even in years to come! I never did this before but in this video I was accompanied with Amy who is my best friend and I love her to bits! She even agreed to do this video with me and I am so grateful for her doing so, because not only did it come so good but I really enjoyed doing it with her as well!
So lately I have noticed this boyfriend/best friend does my makeup voiceover challenge and I thought that this would be a fun video to do and share with you guys! I really hope you enjoy watching it!
As a note please remember that we both did the script and she in by no means or ways did she say those things with an intention to hurt me but we both wrote the voiceover to be as funny as possible!!

Thank you so much for reading/watching, hope you all have a lovely evening/day.
Hope you are all doing great !! Tomorrow is a public holiday therefore, a day off. I think it will be a day filled with watching Gilmore Girls episodes.
Today’s Blogmas post shall be about my new video that I just uploaded and one that I am so excited about because I really love the way it turned out!!
It is my first Holiday themed video minus my room not being decorated all christmassy yet! But alas the filming needed to be done and so here it is!!
I really enjoyed filming this makeup look and creating it. I knew what I wanted and love the shades that are found in the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette.
And the lip shade I used is a perfect dark red for these Holiday months! It is from the brand that I love called MUA – Makeup Academy. The shade I used was Flair. I love this shade and it lasted a long time on my lips as I went out for lunch with this look. Yes, I had to retouch it after I ate but that was a simple task to do.
The products that I used in this video were –Â
NYX Angel Veil Primer
LA Girl PRO conceal in green
NYX Mineral Stick Foundation
NYX HD Photogenic Concealer – Fair
Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder in Transparent
I have started working again, so back into my daily routine. However, I am also trying to gain so much psychology wise experience so I can have a lovely application for my Masters that I will be applying to for the coming year !!
Fingers crossed!!
Anyways, yesterday I uploaded a new video and per usual I always write a blog post about it without a miss! So here is that blog post !
As always, here is the video if you guys have not seen it already!!
So like everybody else I was browsing through eBay and I stumbled onto these lipsticks. I have read so many reviews about these lipsticks some good, some bad. I know that lots of different types of these liquid lipsticks exist but the batch I got were pretty darn good!
I bought mine from eBAYÂ but the listing has been removed. But if you search liquid lipsticks, I am sure you will stumble upon these.
If you are looking for a bargain and for multiple shades, I HIGHLY recommend these!!!
The formula of these lipsticks is a good one overall. Some tend to go patchy and some don’t. Some do feel sticky but they are not drying onto the lips.
When I first took off the first swatch it took me some time to remove but then the other swatches were so easy to remove. So be sure to apply a lip moisturiser underneath.
They dry really quickly, and they dry to a complete matte finish. So don’t believe what it says on the tube – long lasting lip gloss – as it certainly is a matte lipstick and not a lip gloss!
The scent is confusing as some of them have these nice pleasant fruity scents but others are more chemical-y.
The shades vary, there are pinks, nudes, reds!
Shades that were mentioned:
Shade #18
Shade #16
Shade #15
Shade #2
Shade #3
Shade #26
Shade #34
Shade #23
Shade #33
I hope you liked reading/watching my blog post/video!!
