EOS Lip balm in Sweet Mint Review

I think everyone knows about the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) lip balms by now. I saw them two years ago in London and I remember thinking that they were adorable. Fast forward two years and suddenly, everyone is raving about them!
I bought mine from The Bikini Club and I was very impressed with their service. They delivered it in two days without any problems.


Besides having a really nice scent (that's always a plus), it is paraben and petroleum free! It also contains Jojoba oil, Vitamin E and Shea butter. This lip balm has no tint and is quite comfortable to wear. I often wear it under my matte lipsticks (I'm looking at you, Ruby Woo).
It has made its way into my hand bag and has replaced my other lip balms. 

Have you tried any EOS products?

Weddings

I rarely do personal posts on my blog. I decided to share some pictures of a wedding I attended this weekend with you.
I had my makeup done at Mac in the Waterfront. If you ever want your makeup done, ask for Tharwat! She is amazing. My earrings are from Sass Diva, in case you were wondering.

I had my hair done at Carlton in Canal Walk. Avvi was my stylist and she done exactly what I had asked for. I wanted side swept curls that looked slightly vintage. 

Obviously I instagramed some pictures as the day went by. Above are some of my favorite pictures with my cousins. In the last picture, you can finally see my awkward braces smile!


I realized afterwards that I only had one picture of my bag. It is one of my favorites and I only managed to a get a picture of it towards the end of the evening when I was shivering and very tired. I am pretty sure the bag is from Accessorize. I have had it for quite a while. 

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint For Eyes Event

A few weeks ago I was invited by Beauty Bulletin (view their website here) to the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes event at the V&A Waterfront. I immediately RSVP'd and attended the event last week Friday.

The event showcased the 9 shades Clinique had launched. They are the same shape as the Chubby Sticks for lips but they contain a cream eyeshadow that you can easily blend on your eyelid. Clinique will be sending me one to review soon so while I wait for that, I thought I would show you some pictures of the event.

 The Beauty Bulletin girls at the event. Spot me in the khaki snood. I swear my braces gives me a permanent scowl! Picture credit to Naeema Ajam (view her blog here).


 Swatches of the different shades available

We were also shown how to apply the shadow stick and given a chart to take home so that we could recreate the look.

They also showed us their new CC cream, which I had been wanting to try for a while now
. 
Besides the sample of the CC cream and concealer (which they showed after I told them about my concealer addiction), I also received a sample of the moisture surge hydrator and a full sized eyeshadow in the shade Strawberry Fudge.

Visit Cliniques website (here) to have a look at their different products. You can now also order online from them!
