<br />
I hope you are all doing well!<br />
<br />
Today I will be reviewing the Pupa BB Cream + Dark Spot Treatment, a two in one product that acts as a BB Cream and a Dark Spot Treatment since it has Whitening components.<br />
<br />
I was contacted by Pupa a few weeks ago and introduced to these new BB Creams that they were going to launch on the market. There are a number of new BB Creams available, namely:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>BB Cream and Primer All Skin Types- Two in One BB Cream that also acts as a Primer- you may see more about this product here: <a href="http://www.pupa.it/eng/make-up/face/Product/professionals-bb-cream--primer_61341.aspx">http://www.pupa.it/eng/make-up/face/Product/professionals-bb-cream--primer_61341.aspx</a></li>
<li>BB Cream and Primer for Combination Skin to Oily Skin- Two in One BB Cream that also acts as a Primer made especially for my fellow Combination to Oily Skin sisters out there- more info here: <a href="http://www.pupa.it/eng/make-up/face/Product/professionals-bb-cream--primer_61341.aspx">http://www.pupa.it/eng/make-up/face/Product/professionals-bb-cream--primer_61341.aspx</a></li>

<li>BB Cream + Dark Spot Treatment- The product I decided to go with, more info in this blog post.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The reason I decided to go with this product is that having suffered from Acne, my lovely coming of age spots decided to leave a mark on my face, you know, just in case I forget them, therefore, seeing that this product has a Whitening treatment, I decided to give it a go.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So first of all, let's see what Pupa had to say about this product:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"A multifunction product – exclusively formulated in PUPA laboratories – that is innovative and intelligent and combines a skin Whitening face treatment with the moisturizing qualities and luminosity of a BB Cream.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Perfect for all those women who wish to mitigate skin dyschromia and still have a natural look and a flawless make-up result.</span></i></div>

<br />
<br />
So, one of the things I noticed that Pupa did not mention is the fact that whitening can also help towards making spots from acne scars lighter, a fact that having tried this product for the past week and a half, I have noticed, in fact, below is a picture of me mid-way of using this product, and I could already notice that my scars were a little lighter. Having said that I also use a re-rejuvenation cream, however, paired up with this BB cream, I am seeing a difference.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gWJ8sdt7ZIY/VxtHFmtBUvI/AAAAAAAAJIk/Jo1wBkVWeaEgt8oN-qT6fN3SRuRXUfPAACLcB/s400/IMG_0748.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sans BB Cream</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So Pupa state that it evens out the skin and helps moisturize the face, now look at my pretty face with the BB Cream, sans Powder etc.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pro-NOlAdLY/VxtHKyg2wlI/AAAAAAAAJIo/7K4sEr_eYL4Bk-R2McGFmmYiVdBShdm9QCLcB/s400/IMG_0756.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">With the BB Cream applied</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
As you can see from my I just woke up grin, the BB Cream provides medium coverage, notably smoothing out the skin and hiding my scars. Of course, it does not provide a full coverage as a foundation does but it is a pretty decent coverage to go through the day and not scare my students with my no make up face!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EUNhPvBHGFM/VxtHPKWuMVI/AAAAAAAAJIw/ZTWe5llka-8V6jYcROYquMzMzW2u5PYYACLcB/s320/IMG_0757.JPG" width="240" /><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-stvc3RzP3jc/VxtHOi2IJYI/AAAAAAAAJIs/NDtUe4NyhVsiE3GI1XzwiyBACWFnNlufwCLcB/s320/IMG_0758.JPG" width="240" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The product comes in two shades, 001 Nude and 002 Sand. The shade I am using is 001 Nude and it matches my skin perfectly, as you can see from the swatches above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another thing that I loved about this BB Cream is the smell, the smell is very similar to moisturizers rather than your average BB Cream that tend to smell like a distant cousin of your foundation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing that I am not a 100% impressed with, especially with this horrible weather (the weather is currently playing up and there is a lot of humidity around) is the longevity of the product, since I have had days were it has taken me through the whole day in tact (with powder) but other days I feel like a shiny penny... that being said, I actually don't look shiny but the feeling is still there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also tried setting it and I noticed that it lasts longer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all I am very impressed with this product and have been using it religiously, especially during the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another th<span style="font-family: inherit;">in</span>g, <span style="font-family: inherit;">this product retails for <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.6667px;">€ 15.95, a pretty decent price seeing that you will be getting a two in one product. </span></span></div>
<br />
I hope you found this information useful.<br />
<br />
Until next time!<br />

<br />
Although the title of my post can be somewhat of a cliche, it is however, different than the usual "A new year, a new me" meme or posts we see spread across facebook.<br />
<br />
By having a new mindset doesn't mean that I will be changing myself completely, as like everyone else, I have my good and bad qualities but I will choose to enhance the good and eliminate the bad.<br />
<br />
Throughout this year, I have blogged next to nothing, reason being that I was so engrossed with my new career and course prospects that blogging just felt like a chore or a waste of time.<br />
<br />
This year has been full of downs unfortunately, however, that being said, I have had some pretty good experiences throughout this year.<br />
<br />
Focusing back on the downs, as I sit here writing this post after taking a break from reading notes on my next assignment, one sentence from my notes struck me.<br />
<br />
This particular assignment is about quality in education and the idea of having quality in education or in any other organisation is the idea that whatever is being produced etc is not seen as a success or failure but as a learning experience.<br />
<br />
This particular sentence struck me since one can apply it to his or her life mainly by looking back at one's experiences, especially during this time of reflection, cos lets face it, everyone reflects on their year on a day like today, and let's take some time to not view our year in terms of success or failure but with a mindset of what we learnt about ourselves during this past year.<br />
<br />
These past couple of weeks I have been thinking about what I have planned for next year and what resolutions I should do, however, I decided that I will not do resolutions and start implementing some small changes to my life there and then and strive to achieve goals and re-evaluate certain mindsets, so here goes:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Remember that happiness is a choice: </li>
<li>Work towards a healthier lifestyle and restarting a healthy exercise and diet regime;</li>
<li>Constantly challenge my comfort zone;</li>
<li>Practice mindfulness and living in the now;</li>
<li>Journal;</li>
<li>Emit positivity.</li>
</ol>
<div>
At the end of this post, I encourage you to look at this coming year with a pinch of positivity and don't be too hard on yourself if you did not achieve the goals you set out for 2016!</div>
<div>

<br />
I've been meaning to write another diet diaries but with work and attending the last few lectures of my course, I had to postpone it to a quieter time to recollect my thoughts.<br />
<br />
So since we last "spoke", I can safely say that I am being very good with my diet, eating healthily and also introduced green tea to my regime and believe me I am drinking LOADS of different flavoured green tea, more on that later.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately my dates with myfitnesspal.com are not always consistent and regular, at the beginning, I was always updating it consistently nearly after each meal or at a particular time of the day, but for some reason, I am constantly forgetting or find it tedious... this was actually one problem I had when I went to Marika, for some reason, I always forgot or found it tedious to record every meal.<br />
<br />
The thing is, although it may be tedious, I found that by actually documenting your meals and by reflecting on your daily eating habits, it can really help you stay on track, so I set a goal to restart documenting what I eat. Just a reminder, you can access myfitnesspal food diary by clicking this link: <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/tinav2407"><span style="color: #c42665;">http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/tinav2407</span></a><br />
<br />
You will see ALOT of entries that are empty... hopefully that'll change soon!<br />
<br />
Weight wise, my weighing scales are not budging but clothes wise, I am seeing a difference. Clothes stay on better and instead of having a bulging tummy, my bloating has reduced, making me owe a huge thank you to all the green tea I am drinking.<br />
<br />
People have also commented that my face is looking thinner and last time Chanel and I saw some photos from the past couple of months and the difference is noticeable!<br />
<br />
With regards to food, I am quite consistent with lunch preparations. I tend to go for salads, veg or chicken and veg depending how long my day is.<br />
<br />
I have found it super convenient to cook chicken breasts or tenderloins and season them with a mixed pepper and lemon mill- the results are simply divine!<br />
<br />
The Pepper and Lemon seasoning I use is by Drogheria and Alimentari and I bought this mill from Miracle Foods in St. Paul's Bay, however, I think you can find it in a number of supermarkets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F9QQ9haDtwQ/VlmVB4sIjwI/AAAAAAAAJGg/bW-unSRF2nw/s320/pepper.jpg" width="148" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So how do I cook the chicken?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I leave the chicken to thaw a few hours and after it is towed, I spray a pan or grill, however, I am tending to favour pans lately, with a low-fat oil, leaving it a few seconds to heat up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I place the chicken breast and grind some seasoning on it leaving it for a few minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I see that the chicken is browning, I turn the chicken and season the other side, adding a bit of water in order to keep the chicken tender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I repeat this step another two times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually take the chicken with some mixed veg seasoned with the Pepper and Lemon seasoning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Et Voila! A very simple recipe that doesn't take much effort and is finger-licking good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you are all doing well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I wanted to blog about the Essence & Catrice event I attended last week and give you a sneak peak of the products I received, especially since these products form part of the new collections that you can find on stands as we speak!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I plan to do a post which highlights the new products and also review each product, so stay tuned!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The event was held at the Hilton were we were stunned by a fabulous ballroom with an equally fabulous view! The highlight however were samples of the new make up collection paired with all the scrumptious nibbles and my favourite, a selection of Tea <3 BLISS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the event, we received a gorgeous goodie bag filled with treats from the new collections. We were also encouraged to take any make up we sampled with us home! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The products we received from both the Essence and the Catrice collections are photographed below:</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Essence Collection</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
As you can see, there are quite a number of new essence goodies up for grabs at your essence stand!<br />
<br />
From left, you can see the new lipsticks that are on stands now, from the new sought after liquid lipsticks to the new sheer and shine lipsticks.<br />
<br />
The shades we received (and were able to take home with us) were (from left to right):<br />
essence Liquid Lipstick- 02 Beauty Secret<br />
essence Sheer & Shine Lipstick in 03 BFF and 07 Sparkling Miracle<br />
essence Long Lasting Lipstick in 04 It's nude time<br />
<br />
Just below the lipsticks is one of the new palettes available in a range of colours, I received the All about Greys eyeshadow palette which consists of a number of matt and shiny eyeshadows all in different grey hues.<br />
<br />
On the right of the palette, are four products, three of which were samples I took home with me.<br />
The first is the new Multi-action Volume Mascara whilst just below it you can see one of the new Mono Eyeshadows 13 Ocean Drive and Mattifying Compact Powder in shade 11. Just below you can see a sample of the new Camouflage concealer available as a duo.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, we were given the 'Like a million miles away' perfume.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Catrice Collection</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The Catrice collection also has something for everyone, from new lipsticks to palettes, I was ecstatic to learn that Catrice brought out new berry and nude shades for us to enjoy!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Starting top left, we were given the Ultimate stay lipstick, a gorgeous slim lipstick in the shade 030 Wood you love me, there is also a gorgeous berry shade which I cannot wait to get my hands on! Speaking of Berry, I absolutely love the Ultimate nail laquer in 94 It's a berry bash (which is actually my view as a type) and 98 No Coffee without Toffee.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just underneath them you can find the Glossy lip glow, which if you recall a few years ago, is very similar to the Lip glow lipstick that changes colour depending on the PH balance of your lips, however, instead of being a lipstick, it is now in lipgloss form.. quite original don't you think?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Catrice have also launched a new mascara dubbed Lashes to Kill that give you a false lash effect without the falsies!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last but not least, Catrice have also launched new palettes, the Deluxe Trio Eyeshadow focusing on nudes and berry colours. The eyeshadow palette shown is 010 Antique C'est Tres Chic. Just underneath, you can find the Pure shine Colour Lip Balm in 060 Go Flamingo Go!, a lip balm that I think has been already on stands since summer, assuming from the actual shade.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed reading this post! Stay tuned for reviews and more information about the new collections in the coming posts!<br />

<br />
I hope you are all doing well. Yes, I am still alive and kicking but you all know me, I come and go and at times I am so unpredictable I surprise myself also.<br />
<br />
These past few months have been quite a roller coaster ride of emotions for me, I have gone through so many changes in my life, physically and emotionally that some things had to give.<br />
<br />
Throughout this journey I lost so much of myself that I stopped recognising myself, not only on an emotional level but also on a physical level.<br />
<br />
I had gained back nearly all the weight I put off and due to this my self-esteem came plummeting down. One of the reasons why I also stopped doing outfit posts was for this reason, I was so ashamed of myself, having overcome my battle with my weight to lose it all again that I just went in a corner and gave up.<br />
<br />
Slowly slowly I have started gaining back the strength I had before thanks to a great support system I have in my life and during this past month or so, I have been eating healthily once again, however, since I did try for a brief period in the past few months and failed miserably, I needed to be sure about this before restarting my journey and sharing it in the process with you.<br />
<br />
Currently I am doing this journey on my own, not that I do not trust my nutritionist, but I felt that I need to regain control of myself and be able to point out to myself when I have cheated on my journey.<br />
<br />
However, I do have a little tech helping me along the way plus my best friends are all on health regimes so I have very good shoulders to lean on when I see a bump coming up along the road.<br />
<br />
The little tech friend that I have is a site that Chanel told me about called myfitnesspal.com, this is basically a site that tells you how much you consume a day and also allows you to measure if you need to eat more or less during the day.<br />
<br />
I decided to make my profile online were anyone can access my profile and take a look at my online food diary, maybe I can give you some inspiration :)<br />
<br />
You can access it by following this link: <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/tinav2407">http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/tinav2407</a><br />
<br />
Today I just wanted to write down a sort of introductory post but I am thinking of posting regular updates, any recipes which I find interesting, healthy and tasty and anything which tickles my fancy.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to follow me on my facebook and Instagram pages: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/allthingsfabulousblog/">HERE</a> and <a href="https://instagram.com/allthingsfab/">HERE</a> were I will be posting regular photos of my food choices etc.<br />
<br />
So Let's do this once more, I would love to hear your stories as usual!<br />

<br />
Hope you are doing well!<br />
<br />
So I know I have been away for a while but I assure you I am alive and kicking just been super busy focusing on my career and other stuff in my life, more on that in an upcoming post!<br />
<br />
Today I would like to talk to you about some products which have been sent over to me by Pupa Milano, however, first things first, let me take a few minutes of your time to show you this gorgeous collection!<br />
<br />
First of all this collection is called the Soft & Wild collection and is a Limited Edition collection for Autumn 2015.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="260" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7qoUgjXORNI/VjokAESaWjI/AAAAAAAAJDY/WjwCp2zfNa8/s640/limited-edition_softewild_274550.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This collection features a number of different products from eye shadows to lipsticks to nail products that bring out your wild side whilst maintaining your soft features. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As Pupa put it:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received the Vamp! Duo Liner & Kajal and I'm Pure Colour Lipstick- Absolute Brightness in 003.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I have been wearing these products for the past week and I an safely say that I am OBSESSED with the lipstick and absolutely love the Kajal Liner, however, I am not wearing it out during the day due to the intensity of it. That being said I did wear it today to work but that was for review purposes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z13wx9c8aZU/VjoqWIS4NLI/AAAAAAAAJD0/_V1GSuJZcoo/s400/20151104_092114.jpg" width="300" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this photo you can see the look I created were I used the lipstick and the Duo Liner and Kajal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Vamp! Duo Liner & Kajal</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wf_-R0MLtEo/VjorQkqfTeI/AAAAAAAAJD8/dTnYBIVQCAA/s400/20151104_091902.jpg" width="300" /><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BoenaWcfig0/VjorQ5D_gEI/AAAAAAAAJEA/B7o107AHlZc/s400/20151104_091925.jpg" width="300" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this look I applied the Kajal Liner on the bottom of my eyes whilst the liquid liner on top. As you can see the intensity of the Kajal is much more intense than that of the liner, in fact when I wore it out, I went over the liner with the Kajal and eyeshadow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The packaging itself is really trendy and I love the shape of both the Kajal and Liner. It is very controllable but you need a bit more control with the liner. I also noted that if the kajal gets wasted you can actually pull it out of place (granted I noticed this because I was a bit of a savage with it (see my wild side was coming out ;))</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also tested out both the kajal and liner by swatching them and putting them under water then wiping them off with a towel... look at my results below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0GigBctrKr0/Vjos1er3LlI/AAAAAAAAJEY/GksE5LQI980/s320/20151104_085336.jpg" width="240" /><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wKzChu1bx0w/VjosxJZ9bSI/AAAAAAAAJEQ/D9cClWHj9wg/s320/20151104_085407.jpg" width="240" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mvnuxh8nYIY/Vjos9ZZBFiI/AAAAAAAAJEg/j2SqQuv9iec/s320/20151104_085428.jpg" width="240" /><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zcOe9CPePfg/VjotAd3O66I/AAAAAAAAJEo/Kdqq-8HCsEo/s320/20151104_085443.jpg" width="240" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The black line on top is the Liner part whilst the black line on the bottom is the kajal part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was quite impressed with the Kajal part it actually went after a good rub with soap, however the liner part went out quite quickly when I washed it with soap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That being said I still wanted to test out the longevity. I tested it out on a very long Friday night and I did have some bleeding from the Kajal and the Liner stayed on quite well, having said that I did put the kajal for more intensity on it, however, today I tested the Liner out with no added stuff.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f9b9lTFDEX4/VjouLSXs4RI/AAAAAAAAJE0/savqcVdpaSQ/s400/20151104_160312.jpg" width="300" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see there was a bit of fading of the liner and bleeding from the kajal but for a morning look the fading doesn't bother me that much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all I love this liner and will definitely re-buy it once it runs out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>I'm Pure Colour Lipstick- Absolute Brightness in 003- Wild Red</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am OBSESSED with this shade! It is the right amount of red to wear at night or during the day and the application is soo smooth and it leaves your lips quite moisturised! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you follow me on Instagram/ Facebook you know I posted this photo recently:</div>

The shade on my lips is none other than the I'm Pure Colour Lipstick- Absolute Brightness in 003- Wild Red! The below photo is a closer look at the shade on my lips!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the day, I also decided to test out the longevity and boy did I give this lipstick a run for it's money! On the day we had spare ribs for lunch so you can imagine what torture this poor lipstick went through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-84l_6BogUVQ/Vjovei3VYZI/AAAAAAAAJFE/uNYVCgESuY8/s400/20151101_151208.jpg" width="300" /></div>
Considering what I put my lipstick through, I was quite surprised that I had a nice tint to my lips!<br />
<br />
To be fair, today I re-tested the lipstick this time eating normally and drinking as I normally do:<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although the lipstick is not as vibrant as before, the red is still quite prominent and is still on my lips as I sit here and type whilst sipping on my Lemon & Ginger tea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This lipstick comes in four shades, two neutral shades one on beige and one which is more pinky and a fuchsia shade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I absolutely love this collection and considering their prices which are a bit on the pricier side, I think that they are good value for the money you spend!</div>

<br />
I hope you are all doing well.<br />
<br />
I would like to share with you some information that Persona have sent to me in order to amp up awareness of Breast Cancer. As you know, October dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and a number of companies and institutions are driving campaigns towards Breast Cancer Awareness and Early detection all over the world.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.persona.com.mt/breast-cancer-awareness-month-2015/">Persona</a> is no exception! <br />

However, deaths from breast cancer are declining every year for the past several years. In a recent study, the five-year survival rate for those diagnosed with breast cancer was 84 percent.</span></div>

Many women can survive breast cancer if it’s detected and treated early. Breast screening consultations, self-examination and a mammogram can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat. </span></div>

<br />
I hope you are all doing well!<br />
<br />
Today's post is something I have been putting off for a long long time, probably because I was so much in denial that I didn't want it to seem so real.<br />
<br />
So as you know or you probably don't know, I went through a whole year dieting to achieve quite a great goal, losing 13 kilos and being able to put on clothes I had never imagined will fit! You can read about my whole journey here: http://allthingsfabulousblog.blogspot.com/search/label/diet%20diaries<br />
<br />
In my last post on exactly the 12th of February 2014 I weighed 57 kilos and I was looking damn fine, I must say. Today, Monday 8th of June 2015 I weigh 67-68 kilos and I look like I'm in my first trimester.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://rockameme.com/wp-content/uploads/1399034744781.jpg" height="320" width="246" /></div>
<br />
<br />
So were did it all go wrong? Simple... I just didn't care anymore!<br />
<br />
It all began when I needed a change in my life, I changed everything from my hair, to my style, my relationship etc etc. In that period all I felt like doing was having fun and nothing else, in fact I dare say that 2014 was probably my best year EVER! I was truly enjoying life, made some great memories and went out and enjoyed myself every weekend. With that however, came a lot of junk food and beer, especially in Summer were my signature drink was Cisk Chill Berry.<br />
<br />
However, many might say that I did not gain that much weight, in fact looking back at photos this is not evident, reason being is that although I ate unhealthily, I was doing exercise 2-3 times a week, so I didn't gain any weight!<br />
<br />
Things changed during the end of the year. I started comfort eating due to a complicated situation in my life and slowly slowly I started exercising less, especially since I had a new opportunity which took up a lot of my time and I then decided to focus on my career.<br />
<br />
Come February/ March , my diet has spiralled out of control. I stopped exercising since I was attending a course during the times of my aerobics classes and assignments got intense that I comfort ate my way through these past couple of months.<br />
<br />
Last week, I got a huge wake up call when I went on to try some things I had for summer and nothing fit! I had been rarely going out due to assignments that I didn't need to get dressed up, so I didn't realise how much weight I put on. I also went to try on dresses for my cousin's upcoming wedding and ofc I was not seeing myself I did before.<br />
<br />
Today I decided that I will no longer let myself throw what I worked so hard for go to waste and I decided that once again I will start taking my dieting seriously and re-start my journey towards a healthy lifestyle including exercise!<br />
<br />
That being said, the support I received online and the therapeutic value I got from writing down my struggles on my blog were what kept me going all those months!<br />
<br />
So as I said before, let's do this once again and hey, it's ok to fall off the wagon, because you're strong enough to pick yourself up again and keep on driving!<br />

<br />
Hope you are all doing well!<br />
<br />
All Things Fabulous has joined Persona Med- Aesthetic Centre's drive towards Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness. Check out this information below... it can save your or some one else's life!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJsr9NgEBKQ/VWMHzn-bcEI/AAAAAAAAJA4/THWk86sJSy0/s320/Melanoma%2BAwareness%2BMonth%2BHeader.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The month of May being dedicated to Skin Cancer and Melanoma
Awareness brings the risks associated with sun exposure and the link with potential
skin cancers to the fore of public opinion. To support this global health
initiative, Persona Med-Aesthetic Centre, in collaboration with its team of
leading dermatologists and supported by SkinCeuticals Advanced Skincare, shall
be offering a number of free consultations for mole assessment throughout May, thereby
increasing awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection of
melanoma.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from
melanin-producing cells, which are normally located in the basal layer of the
epidermis or within the dermis, the outer layer of the skin. Aggressive forms
of melanoma can spread to almost any organ in the body, making it of vital
importance to detect it an early stage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By far the biggest risk for developing melanoma is sun
damage (UV radiation). The effects of sun damage are cumulative, meaning that
they build up over time. Up to the age of around 30, cells recover quickly from
damage and thus visible damage like sunspots, wrinkles and moles are relatively
rare. Nonetheless every episode of sun exposure builds up damage (especially in
sunny climates like Malta), which comes apparent and visible later in life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, local dermatologists have seen a sharp rise
in cases of melanoma over the last years. Experts indicate that this rise is
due to a couple of different factors, such as the depletion of the ozone layer,
popularity of tanning beds, more revealing fashion styles, and social norms
encouraging the desirability of tanned skin. While it’s true that our bodies
need a daily dose of Vitamin D, absorbing enough sunlight to reach your daily
requirements is no problem for people living in Malta. With the amount of sun
hours and strength of the UV rays in Malta, our daily required dose is easily
satisfied without the need for any extra effort.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To protect against the harmful effect of UV radiation, it is
recommended to seek shade and avoid the sunniest hours of the day, roughly
between 11.00 and 16.00. When outdoors, try to protect your skin as much as
possible, wearing a hat, sunglasses and clothing that covers you skin. Also, as
a general rule of thumb, it is highly recommended to use a high factor
broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF50+) throughout the year, especially in our
sun-blessed Malta. In the summer months it is important to re-apply your
sunscreen every 2-3 hours throughout the day when exposed to the sun.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Together with SkinCeuticals, Persona Med-Aesthetic Centre
emphasizes on the fact that for optimal protection, the use of antioxidants in
combination with a bread-spectrum sunscreen will be greatly beneficial and
increase one’s protection level against harmful UV & IRA rays. Recent
studies show that IRA (infra red radiation) is also responsible for skin’s
photo-damaging effects, hence modern sun protection should include filters,
that provide IRA protection as well. Whereas sunscreens protect against UVA and
UVB radiation from the outside, antioxidants work from the inside, protecting
against free radicals formation and DNA damage to skin caused by UV & IRA
rays. Studies show that even the best sunscreen, when applied, offers up to 55%
protection against UV damage, but when combined with a powerful and
well-formulated antioxidant, protection levels rise even up to 98%. In this
light, during the month of May, Persona is offering a Free sunscreen to all
those who purchase one of SkinCeuticals’ revolutionary antioxidant
products,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to help educate on the
importance of combining and anti-oxidant with a high SPF sunscreen in one’s
daily routine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another important element in the fight against melanoma is
self-examination, for you to detect suspicious lesions as early as possible,
and bring these to the attention of your dermatologist at a very early stage
when treatment has a very high success-rate. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A popular method for self-examination is the ABCDE-method,
where the letters stand for 5 indicating factors of melanoma; A - for Asymmetry
in shape, B – for irregular Borders, C – for Colour variations, D – large
(6mm+) Diameter, E – for Evolution that marks a change over time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Dermatologists world-wide insist that there’s nothing
healthy about a sun tan, therefore through this campaign, we hope more people
will become aware of the dangers of unprotected or inadequately-protected sun
exposure’, says Kate Demanuele, General Manager of Persona Med-Aesthetic
Centre. ‘Prevention and early detection measurements of skin cancer, can save
lives, therefore we hope this campaign will have its needed impact on people’s
lifestyle and their skin health.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By harnessing the power and influence of print and social
media, Persona’s aim is to spread the message about melanoma as far and wide as
possible. Various informative materials will be spread through Persona’s
website (www.persona.com.mt) and its Facebook page (Persona Med-Aesthetic
Centre) as well as through the local facebook page of SkinCeuticals, and
through local bloggers and media, hoping to reach a bigger crowd.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We remind the public that as part of its SkinCeuticals year-long
charity campaign launched earlier this year, Persona will donate 5% of all
SkinCeuticals 2015 sales to Hospice Malta at the end of 2015.<o:p></o:p></div>

So last week, my dear friend Chanel, you may remember her from Bon Ton Fashionista, left for a four month adventure to Berlin! I posted this photo of us when Chanel had taken me out when I was feeling a bit blue! Channy has been a total support system during a bit of a bleak phase that I was going through and I will forever be thankful to her!! Miss you my dearest bestja <3 xxx</div>

This photo was actually taken a few days before Chanel left for Berlin. We really enjoy sharing a Dolce Gusto together and whilst I was refilling up on water, Chanel grabbed our mugs and found these two cuties!</div>

As I had said in my previous posts, I went a bit haul crazy last month especially when it comes to jewellery and accessories! Check out the gorgeous pieces I got from Mango! First off, the infamous ring I keep posting about and this gorgeous layered silver and gold necklace which I absolutely ADORE!</div>

At home, my did a huge frame of old photos and many of them consist of me wearing a headband. So in true TBT fashion, I posted this old picture of me with a cute monochrome dress and white headband which kind of looks like a turban top... I guess some things never change! (BTW after I posted this my mum told me I never left the house with a head band back in the day!)</div>

This is probably the most risqué outfit I wore. I was quite hesitant to wear it since I have gained a bit of weight lately. I paired up a woollen crop top which is surprisingly very cosy with a flowy midi skirt and my ankle boots! I also decided to take out my layered necklace out for a spin (the photo is not clear but as you saw from earlier on in the post its a gold and silver necklace) and I paired it up with my cross studs.</div>

Lately I have been drinking ALOT of Herbal Tea, specifically Twinings Vanilla Tea, which is just divine! I usually take this into lessons with me instead of water and carry it in my New Look Travel Mug which was a Christmas Present from a friend of mine, hence, the Penguins with Santa Hats... #notchristmas</div>

Last week I stocked up on some eyeliners and lip liners just because! I absolutely LOVE Make Up Store Liners, ok, I may be biased because I work there BUT they really are the best liners I have used, and I have said this even before I started working there! I bought a Black Eyeliner since it's super pigmented and I needed a strong black liner. I bought Seduced by the Dark which is a metallic-ish brown liner which is great for everyday use. With regards to lip liners, I needed a dark lip liner so I went for the darkest lip liner we have which is Russian Bordeaux, a gorgeous wine whilst my colleague suggested I try Gum and Dali. I'm obsessed with Dali already which is a two-toned lip liner having a pinkish and purple shade on either side which you can use separately or mix!</div>

<br />
I hope you are all doing well!<br />
<br />
As you recall from my last post, my main focus and content will be mainly on my Instagram and Facebook accounts where I will be sharing my latest OOTDs, Hauls and anything else I find interesting! You can see my last post here: <a href="http://allthingsfabulousblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/im-back-well-sort-of.html">CLICK ME!</a><br />
<br />
I decided to introduce a new segment to my blog were I will be sharing all the pictures I posted throughout the week just in case you missed any, with a short description/ story behind the picture!<br />
<br />
So here goes!<br />

Last week I went a little haul crazy, especially when it came to jewellery! I wanted a little break from my assignments and work so I headed to Valletta with Chanel (for all you in the blogging world, Chanel from Bon Ton Fashionista) and I went gagas for this Mango ring... I have practically worn it every time I went out! <3<br />

Here in Malta we are experiencing probably one of the coldest winters EVER!! Earlier this week all I felt like doing was curl up in bed with a huge dose of tea and just snuggle under my comfy quilt! However, life is not that simple so I had to get up for work! The first thing I thought as soon as I felt that cold air just as I got out of bed was grab your cosiest jumper or else don't get out of the house! My cosiest jumper happens to be the Christmas Jumper I bought for last year's Christmas festivities which feature cute polar bears! So I said oh well, what the hell... just go for it! #rebel<br />

So one of the reasons I went shopping to Valletta was actually this beauty over here! I have been seeing so many posts about this new shop that I just had to check it out! Apart from the fact that I wanted to own a Turban Top for quite a while! It took me a while to choose between a woollen beige or blue turban top but thanks to Chanel and the super helpful sales girl at Ontop, blue was the clear winner! #soinlove<br />

This photo was actually a re-post since I had posted it on Instagram quite a while ago but since they are part of the huge spending spree I did this month I said why not?! I have been wanting to buy the above books for ages and I finally managed to get my hands on them! As you might know or not know, one of people I look up to in showbiz is Lea Michele a.k.a Rachel Barry on Glee, this woman's strength and talent just leave me in awe!! Another book I have been wanting to get my hands on is Jane Hawking's Travelling to Infinity, her memoir about her life with Stephen Hawking or for all you movie junkies, the book that inspired The Theory of Everything! I strongly believe that when a book is turned into a movie, the book always surpasses the movie! Last but not least, Nicholas Sparks infamous The Notebook! Again, same reason as before, I have been wanting to read this book so much, being one of my favourite movies and all!<br />

<br />
This post is long overdue, and with good reason.<br />
<br />
Due to a number of huge changes in my life, blogging was low on my priority list and thus the cold turkey treatment of my blog and all my social media.<br />
<br />
Fret not I am still alive and kicking, however, my priorities have shifted so much during the past few months that I frankly have no time for blogging.<br />
<br />
So just to get you in the picture, my career has taken full priority this year, after a full year of fun and no responsibilities, I have finally settled, well sort of, in a job which I absolutely LOVE and full focus is on my career at the moment.<br />
<br />
These past few months I was offered the opportunity to teach at a higher secondary institution so you can imagine the shock to my system.. from preparation of lessons to the delivery etc etc, time to blog was seen as precious time. To top all that off, I also started a highly intensive teaching course which requires a lot of time spent researching and implementing assignments. (Yay for huge words seeing that I was writing about theories of learning just a few minutes ago!)<br />
<br />
Along with this came the search for comfort and time saving when it comes to my fashion and make up choices, I was back to comfort over style and losing a little part of me which had really boosted my self-esteem. So two weeks ago when I took some time to organise my wardrobe, I realised how much I missed dressing up and actually researching and getting inspiration for my style and make up. Slowly slowly I started adjusting my style, taking the time to get back in fashion fitness and along the way, actual fitness (yes, I admit I have gained a few kgs due to going back to the school routine with fast and easy naughty food choices).<br />
<br />
This got me to thinking that blogging had really helped me get out of my shell and had helped me with my self-esteem so I decided that although it is time consuming, I will re-launch my blog, HOWEVER, on my own terms, that is, since writing takes up so much of my time, I decided to go to the next alternative, my Instagram and Facebook pages were I will create and upload content and yes, I am not going to just put the blog aside, but it will not be as frequent as before, if I'm inspired, yes I will write but the core of my content will be on the actual facebook page and instagram accounts.<br />
<br />
So.... this brings us to the next order of business, if you haven't already, I dare you to like and follow my instagram and facebook accounts which you may do so by:<br />

<br />
I hope you are doing well!<br />
<br />
Throughout these past few weeks I have been busy as a bee working on a project with my choir so obviously blogging went flying out the window!<br />
<br />
Today's post is extra special since I have a fabulous guest called Sara who reached out to me with an informative post on her skin care regime!<br />
<br />
Martina XOXO<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Hello lovelies! I’m Sara and I am so excited
to tell you about my skincare regimen that took my skin from pimply to
near-perfect. But before I start, I want to give a huge thank you to Martina
for letting me write this for her! Thanks girl! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I used to use a lot of acne products in the
hopes of clearing my skin but none would ever work. A pimple would disappear
and another one would pop up elsewhere the next day! I used to wash my face
with Murad’s Clarifying Cleanser and moisturize with Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin
night cream. I always had some minor acne and redness but I was turning 20 at
the time so I knew my skin needed a change. There came a point when all I
wanted was clear skin. That’s it; not a new car or a cute boyfriend—just clear
skin! I realized that I had to start
investing in a few higher-quality products, but I vowed to only purchase what
was really necessary. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>

pinpointed a routine that works! Here are the steps I take to achieve a fresh
face on a tight budget:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Gentle Cleansing Wash (which can be found at most drugstores) is “clinically
shown to be as gentle as water” and I believe it. I’ve never been irritated by
this cleanser and it’s great for day and night. It is so light--it literally
feels like nothing is on your face. Cetaphil’s cleanser is just as gentle, but
a tad pricier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://www.evine.com/b/beauty/skinn-cosmetics/">ShopHQ</a> is my go-to at home microdermabrasion treatment. The amount of times
a week you exfoliate depends upon the product you use and your skin type, but
for the most part you should exfoliate about 2-3 times per week. If you don’t
already, you should definitely do it! Dead skin cells, sebum (oil), bacteria
and/or hormones are the building blocks of acne, so don’t let that gunk pile up.
When I use the DermAppeal microdermabrasion product, I wash my face and pat it
dry and then I splash warm water all over. I spoon out a generous quarter-sized
blob with a dry spoon and I massage my face in big, slow circular motions. The
active ingredients are triggered with water, so you don’t want to put your
fingers in the jar. Finally, I hop in the shower, do my deal and rinse all of
the product off. It’s much easier to do it this way because the magnesium
granules take a few minutes to wash off. The results are wonderful! I always use
this on a Friday so I look all glowy and magical when I go out later that
night. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

chemical exfoliant with both Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids (AHAs & BHAs) so
it leaves your skin really smooth. This mask has a sort of vacuum technology
that just draws the goop out of your pores and shrinks your pimples. I do a
spot treatment with this every couple of days and when I want to do a full
mask, I make sure it’s on a day when I’m not using my Skinn microderm. This
product is a little on the pricey side but it’s totally worth it. If you’re not
ready to splurge, try the Origins Clear Improvement charcoal mask for a little
freshening up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a very good rest after all the Malta Fashion Week Madness... just joking! It was actually a lovely experience which I really enjoyed throughly and I'm trying to get back in my old routine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you know, last Saturday marked the biggest fashion event in Malta, the Fashion Awards and what was more suited than a brand new outfit specially bought for this event!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last Saturday marked the opening of the highly awaited new store, River Island so I obviously had to get myself down there and I found a beautiful jumpsuit which I just had to have! I also went to New Look who had a fantastic "Buy Two, Get One Free" offer and I bought this gorgeous Mint Blazer together with white shoes and a layered necklace!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My hair was done by the lovely and talented Graziella at the Dean Gera Salon at the Point! </div>

Hey Guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This post is coming a day late since I was very busy yesterday going from one thing to another!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my good friends, Deb has recently launched a new handmade jewellery company and she had the pleasure of sponsoring me with one of her pieces for this look. Since her pieces are very vintage inspired, I decided to wear a vintage outfit with a modern twist! The piece I chose was actually a long necklace which Deb shortened for me! She also does custom made pieces!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my look I went with a see-through bat wing top paired up with my favourite maxi skirt and leather jacket. After a week in heels I decided to wear flats, my poor feet needed a break :-p</div>

<br />
This event was supported by Cordina Outside Catering and Meridiana estates.<br />
<br />
5 international designers showcased their collection against the backdrop of the Pjazza Regina with magnificent arches and beautiful stone structures, the designs stood out against yet again another beautiful location!<br />
<br />
Stunning hair styles were styled by Tony & Guys and Essentials Artistic Team whilst Make Up was done by Elaine Galea, Krista Paris, Talitha Dimech, Diandra Mattei, Gabrielle Zammit Grungo, Leanne Magro & Christelle Lays using Eva Garden Make Up.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Daniela Bozic (Serbia)</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The first designer to showcase her work came all the way from Serbia! Daniela Bozic presented her collection titled 'Floral Rhapsody designed for the woman who expresses her emotions through extravagant dresses with strong colours that represent the form of rare and exotic flora.<br />
<br />
The main colour used in this colletion was white, however, other colours such as green, black, red and gold were prominent in some gowns whilst the pieces of jewellery styled with the pieces were quite colourful. I noticed that most of the pieces, namely the capes and jackets had a patterned inside. Materials ranged from sheer to embossed to chiffon and velvet.<br />

<b><u>Joan Isioma Okorodudu (Nigeria)</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I remember Joan from last year's Malta Fashion Awards and how much I loved the vibrant patterns and fun designs! This year, Joan definitely did not disappoint!<br />
<br />
Joan's collection is all about African culture represented in the bold prints and bright colours used. Her collection is all about having fun with fashion.<br />
<br />
From gorgeous jumpsuits to fun flirty dresses to crop tops to wide legged pants and gorgeous jackets to fun suits for the boys, this collection was all about having fun!<br />
<br />
Prints were at an all time high in this collection from star prints to abstract prints!<br />
<br />

<b><u>Jean Paul Benielli (France)</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
'La Femme', an exquisite evening gown collection made of the finest fabrics was presented by Jean Paul Benielli this evening.<br />
<br />
These beautiful gowns were made using the finest of fine materials such as hand-embroidered lace, chiffon, organza and satin which combined to create striking silhouettes.<br />
<br />
The gowns were finished off with even finer pieces such as Tahitian pearls, Swarowski crystals, sequins, glass beads and chiffons.<br />
<br />
These pieces were the kind of pieces which immediately show the hard work that has gone into making each piece since these kind of materials are so fine that they definitely look hand made and customized to create the perfect piece.<br />

Another Nigerian designer rocked the runway tonight! Sally Bawa, beautifully crafted pieces including stunning hand painted pieces with striking designs, combining different patterns and colours.<br />
<br />
This collection has been described as the revival of the love of art and the combination of imagination and representation.<br />
<br />
From gorgeous floral prints to to abstract art statements donning a number of earthy and floral colours. Crop tops, tailored pieces, dresses, maxi skirts and tailored shirts for men, this collection was quite the work of art!<br />

<b><u>Judy R. Clark (Scotland, United Kingdom)</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The last and final collection came from a country not far away! Harris Tweeds, Scottish lace and tartans in a non-traditional way donning the signature Judy R Clark tailoring and flamboyant silhouettes.<br />
<br />
From elegant fairy tale long dresses to crop tops to military style jackets this collection screamed femininity and girl power and what was more appropriate than Beyonce's Run The World to accompany this female empowered collection?!<br />
<br />
Lace details, embellishments, beaded details, chiffon and patterned print statements were the highlights of the dresses which showed the craftsmanship of the tailoring of these pieces.<br />
<br />
Two jackets stood out with feather tails bringing your average military jacket to the next level!<br />

Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday I attended the Gagliardi Fashion Show who celebrated 50 years of Bortex in Malta.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keeping in check with the nature of the show, I went for a collarless jacket, an embellished sheer top and my wrap around bird print skirt. I finished off the look with nude and rose gold accessories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Throughout this week I wore my midi rings which I got from Black Tied, however I realised that they never showed up in my photos so I took a close up picture so that you can see them! </div>

Nope definitely a post for the ladies!<br />
<br />
Beautiful suits, hunky men, tonight's show was quite different than the rest of the shows we saw this week!<br />
<br />
Gagliardi Fashion Show, a name synonymous with Maltese fine tailoring! This show was extra special since it celebrated 50 years of Bortex.<br />
<br />
The show was set in the intimate setting of the National Library. A number of historic books, fine wood pieces and antique flooring complimented the feel and look of the brand exquisitely!<br />
<br />
Hair was done by Marielle Calleja from Prive Hairdressing whilst Make Up was done by Krista Paris assisted by Christelle Lays.<br />
<br />
Today's show consisted of two collections, the Spring/ Summer 2014 collection and the Autumn/ Winter 2014 collection.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Spring/ Summer 2014 Collection</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The spring/ summer 2014 collection was inspired from the Amalfi coast focusing on light, crisp silhouettes consisting of natural fibers such as pure wools, cottons, linens apart from other fabrics.<br />
<br />
The colour palette for this collection was quite range and vast mainly consisting of navy, white, sky blue, midnight blue, lemon yellow, vintage pink, lilac, heather, burnt orange and grey melange.<br />
<br />
Apart from a number of tailored business suits, ideal for our hot climate due to being lighter in colour and lighter material, a number of tailored jackets, bright pants, shirts, shorts, polo shirts and an extra special piece of swimwear were also present.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Autumn/ Winter 2014 Collection</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Autumn/ Winter collection is inspired by the 'Cinghiale' hunting in Tuscany hosting a number of paisley, hand writing, trim and quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colour palette was all about autumn colours hosting a burst of warm colours namely bordeaux, warm mustard, rusty orange, forest green, wintery grey, icy blue and smokey blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From business attire to relaxed smart casual outfits, the autumn/ winter collection had a little bit of everything. From the materials used to the colours to the styles, ranging from jackets, scarfs, waistcoats, pants suits and jumpers, this winter, the men in our lives will definitely stay cosy and look good whist doing so!</div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another day, another Malta Fashion Week Outfit Post!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday I attended the Bridal Fashion show, one of my favourite yearly shows!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was tempted to wear a white lace dress but I found a better, more fun option!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Sheer shirt with a number of Engagement Rings printed on the shirt was ironic yet super fun to wear and although slightly cheesy it wasn't in your face cheesy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I paired up this shirt with a leather midi pencil skirt and my leather jacket! To add a pop of colour I still decided to add a little bridal white by wearing my rope necklace and I completed the look by wearing a mint clutch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also got photobombed by the gorgeous Gaby Curmi, winner of the Best Female Model 2013 award and very old friend of mine, who I love and adore <3</div>

<br />
As a little girl and as a big girl too, I was always fascinated by wedding dresses. I just love the elegancy, sophistication and glamour a wedding dress represents!<br />
<br />
This is my third bridal show and I must say that it gets better and better every year!<br />
<br />
This year, not only did we see spectacular designs, however, we saw designs by three wedding fashion houses, giving us the opportunity to admire three different unique styles and designs each having an individual flair!<br />
<br />
This event was supported by the Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC) which actually hosted the event, a location which I particularly quite like having attended numerous events both fashion and music related and I have always admired how majestic the location is!<br />
<br />
Alistair Floral Design created beautiful bouquets for the blushing "brides", Tatiana Faberge at Vascas made them sparkle whilst Hansa Wines and Spirits, Island Caterers and Kombi took care of the guests at the reception held after the show.<br />
<br />
The three wedding fashion houses included Wedding Bells, Pronovias and Loredana Roccasalva.<br />
<br />
Hair was beautifully styled in true Bridal fashion by Steve Vella from Cutting Edge and Matthew & Roderick Castillo's Hair Salon. Make Up was done by Elaine Galea and her team.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Wedding Bells</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The Wedding Bells Bridal collection kick started the show with a number of beautiful gowns made from the finest bridal fabrics and excellent workmanship!<br />
<br />
This collection included a little bit of everything from princess ball gowns to mermaid dresses to tea lengths, every bridal silhouette imaginable was fit to perfection on each model. One dress had an extra special surprise since together with the model a little flower girl posed in a sweet flower girl white and rose gold striped dress.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBPZS-U2qy4/U4Z8meIzATI/AAAAAAAAIB4/IOWyVakSao0/s1600/DSC_0531.JPG" height="400" width="263" /><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-loVuvDu1n18/U4Z6he3ropI/AAAAAAAAH_c/PbcQkkB3Zws/s1600/DSC_0509_01.JPG" height="400" width="263" /></div>
<br />
<br />
A number of traditional white and ivory gowns were present, however, a number of rose gowns were also present in this collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2z9wJk_Weqg/U4Z69XF9CDI/AAAAAAAAH_4/e3uOgCoHVf0/s1600/DSC_0525.JPG" height="400" width="263" /><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ut0ZQJmKk3o/U4Z5Y8lGVCI/AAAAAAAAH-M/WBE0u1nlEn8/s1600/DSC_0482.JPG" height="400" width="263" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Each gown has its on speciality, having a number of intricate details from small crystal accents to more prominent crystal accents to lace, floral and feather details. This collection was very nature inspired having many floral and leaf accents present in their designs together with feather details and butterfly accents on some of the dresses.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Erhyck7cCg4/U4Z9MgibpdI/AAAAAAAAICg/TGxXzswAda4/s1600/DSC_0571.JPG" height="400" width="263" /></div>
<br />
<br />
What I particularly liked about this collection is that the veils were also special in their own way having certain accents such as lace and dainty floral accents. What was interesting about these veils was that there were certain special veils which contained elements which you probably rarely see paired together with a veil such as the combination of a floral headpiece and veil. Another accent I absolutely loved were small butterflies which were accented on the veil.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The fronts of these dresses were in themselves beautiful to look at with high neck accents with sheer lace and beaded accents, floral and feather accents, detailed sleeves and blinged out straps, however, the backs were just as beautiful as the front! Cut out backs with intricate detailing and hanging crystals, long trains and exquisite design.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last year, I had the opportunity to view Pronovias 2014 collection at last year's Fashion Week, a collection which blew me away! This year, the collection is even more special since the current collection Elie is designed by Elie Saab together with Pronovias' creative team!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year's collection focuses on sticking to the classics adding more enduring lines, detailing, colour and exciting fabric choices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The designs featured a number of lace, beading and chiffon detailing, some accents featured more than others.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dresses ranged from silk to chiffon to pure white bridal material. Colours were mostly white and ivory, however, crystal adorned dresses changed colour depending on how the light hit them due to the nature of their sparkleness!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sleeve and back details were quite prominent in this collection, having an intricate lace design on one particular dress whilst another had chiffon rouging giving that oomph on a relatively simple dress.</div>

Bling was very prominent in this collection having many dresses blinged out to the last inch, adorned with crystals, these dresses literally looked like a million bucks!</div>

Last but not least, we had the Sicilian designer Loredana Roccasalva who showcased her bridal and evening wear collection. Apart from today's showcase, Loredana will soon be Malta bound since she is set to open a studio locally soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The entire collection is very influenced by Sicilian and Italian traits, made in it's home land, the product itself remains the true creation of handicraft and tailoring, keeping the motto "Raggiungibile contemporaneo" at heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colour scheme for the bridal portion of the collection was white, ivory or eggshell, however, one particular bridal dress went against the norms since it donned a navy blue hue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bridal dresses had a very big lace influence, staying true to the typical Sicilian wedding dress, having a number of different materials layered reminding me of a gypsy styled dress. The veils, apart from having a headband affect were also adorned with lace details or were otherwise full lace.</div>

Two pieces which stuck out were unique in their own ways. One dress in particular had a number of brownish feather just on the waistline of the dress. Another piece that stuck out was a tailored kimono and pant suit number with blue floral details.</div>

Lace, silk, chiffon, intricate details and detailed sewing were as prominent in the evening wear collection. Having most of the models donning lace gloves in both collections. Models graced the catwalk with elegant dresses, ball gowns, kimono style tops and pencil skirts.</div>

<br />
I have been wanting to wear this outfit since the beginning of fashion week, however, since it's quite a bright, in your face outfit, I was hesitant to wear it due to the fact that the events were held in the evening and the mood of the events was more evening-ish wear.<br />
<br />
However, since we were celebrating summer during this event seeing that the show revolved around swimwear, I decided to go for it!<br />
<br />
I wore one of my favourite pair of pants, reason being is that they're floral and I'm kind of obsessed right now and because of the fact that the floral print itself reminds me of an oil painting! I paired it up with my white blazer which has a floral embossed print together with my very neon coral heels! To finish off the look I paired it up with a nude messenger bag and finished off the look with one of my favourite pieces from Yana's Jewellery!<br />
