An old favourite: Essence blush stain.

It's rather rare for me to use up a make-up product. And I haven't used up this one yet, but I thought I'd write about it before I do. The product I'm talking about is the Essence NATventURista blush stain. It was part of a limited edition collection which was sold in September and October 2011. 
It's almost empty now and here's why I love it so much.

Nail art for dummies #3.

Last weekend I decided to paint my nails and I did another attempt at "nail art". This is very much of a challenge for me. I think I just have bad fine motor skills since my handwriting is horrendous too and I cannot cut straightly with scissors. So it didn't turn out as well as I hoped for, but here it is.

The moka pot.

I think it's safe to say that I'm a coffee addict lover. Just like my parents do, I drink it every single day. There's always a thermos bottle filled with filter coffee on the kitchen counter, but when it comes to taste there's one method of brewing that beats all others. My all time favourite coffee is a 'latte' made with coffee brewed with my moka pot. I even prefer its taste to all the lattes I have ever had in various coffee shops!

Seven scents: Puma Fragrance.

In the get to know me tag I did some time ago, I said that I have a favourite perfume brand. It all started many, many years ago: I read a short piece on the Puma Women limited edition in a magazine. I believe it was a perfume brought out for the world cup - football that is, not quidditch! It had a description of the notes and it sounded like a nice scent. So the next time I passed by an Ici Paris store, I went in for a sniff and the next thing I knew, I was buying myself a perfume for the first time ever.
I love many of the fragrances they bring out and they are very affordable. Consequently, as the years passed by, my collection has grown. Here they are in the order in which I think I got them:

Easy Peasy Recipe: "classic" goats' cheese omelette.

I'm very much into eating goats' cheese lately. It started out after I'd seen a certain episode of Corner Gas in which Lacey names her goats' cheese omelette 'classic goats' cheese omelette' in order to make her friends eat it. So I tried making one of my own and absolutely loved it!
I make mine as follows:

Outfit: gray day.

After my shopping trip to Primark I've been enjoying the goodies I got there quite a lot. Here's how I wore the grey jumper:
It's really the same as I wore it in the haul with the addition of a few accessories:

Spring lips: Colour bomb.

Since spring has sprung, I wanted to show you my favourite lipstick for spring! I like bright lipstick in general, but this one is just the perfect colour for spring in my opinion. It is a lipstick by Catrice from a limited edition they did a few years back called Revoltaire: the velvet matt lip colour in colour bomb.
