Fanciful Finds: Large Makeup Bag Pink Cupcakes

I love shopping on Etsy & have many, many things I want to buy on there. Sigh...This is one of them! The design is awesome & it is covered with plastic both on the inside and out so it's really easy to clean. Would love to store all my makeup in here for traveling. $23.99.

NYX Matte Liquid Lipstick

This collection consists of 11 shades, which are named after cities around the world. Now this is neither a lipstick nor a lipgloss but is more like a lipstick cream with a matte finish. They cost $6 each. I've already decided that I want to try: Tokyo, Istanbul & maybe Stockholm...

Neal's Yard Remedies Baby Balm

I don't know if it's because NYR has just not so long ago opened in Dubai or because I never pay any notice, but it's only just recently that I started noticing them. Bad attention on my part, you say. Anyhow when I did notice them (it was first in Dubai Mall) the first thing the sales assistant did was hand me a tester of their Baby Balm to try. It is wonderful... It's sooo buttery and creamy (so yes it is a tad greasy...but who cares), it smells divine and it had these little balls that melted on my skin. It contains olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter & beeswax. 100% organic ingredients too. Please try it out for yourselves already!

Quick Tip: Dark Elbows & Knees

Upon reading this little tip on The Beauty Bunny I jumped to post it here:

Make yourself a paste of 1 crushed Vitamin E caplet, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice & 1 tablespoon of milk. Rub in & leave on for around 15 minutes before washing off.

I think it's a lovely little tip we can all use & it's fairly easy to make. 

Clovertree Apothecary Treatment Sprays

These treatment sprays- Acne defense & fruit enzyme- by Clovertree ($29) really caught my attention. Looks like I'll be wanting these. 

♥ Acne Defense Treatment Spray- this when sprayed directly on the face will cleanse, tone and soothe the skin.
♥ Fruit Enzyme Treatment Spray- this when sprayed directly on the face will gently exfoliate and stimulate cell renewal.


Both sprays are made with 95% natural ingredients.

FarmHouse Sweet Cream Body Milk

Sweet cream body milk! Need I say more? I love their vintage style packaging. Back to the product... The body milk is loaded with avocado, rice brain oil & sweet almond & is sulphate & paraben free. Irresistible. On my wishlist. $26

My First Proper Eye Cream (Now That I'm 21)

Alright, I've turned 21 & I'm all over the place looking into eye cream products, to find something I'd like to start using religiously. I have always maintained that I wouldn't touch eye creams until 21, because, I saw it as something pretty pointless before then. When did you first start to use eye creams?

So, there are a number of contenders:

 ♥ 100% Pure Caffeine Eye Cream

 ♥ Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with  Avocado 
 ♥ Mario Badescu Glycolic Eye Cream
 ♥ Origins A Perfect World for Eyes

I'm iffy as to which one to choose though. We shall see.
