Mavala Double Lash

Hi Lovelies,

How is your week going so far?! I feel like I haven't blogged in a while! I have been having a few problems with my laptop which have been slowing me down on my posts but hopefully, I will get that all fixed soon!

So, as promised my Review on Mavala Double Lash, for those of you that have not heard of this brand before it is made in Switzerland and are most popular for their nail care. They brought out the Double Lash as a multi-purpose product to help with eyebrow and lash growth. 
"It contains proteins and natural active ingredients which strengthen, cover and protect the lashes allowing them to become healthy, long and resistant".


How I discovered Mavala Double Lash, I like to get my eyebrows threaded and where I had been staying with my mum for a bit, I went to an eyebrow threading place different to the one I usually go to...BIG mistake! For some reason, the lady got thread happy and my left eyebrow ended up sooooo much thinner than the right! I needed something to help my eyebrow grow back quick smart as it was "not" a good look! My sister told me about this product Mavala which they sell in Boots, so I thought for only £13.00 might as well give it a go! 
There were mixed reviews on this product and from some of the reviews that I had read, they said it could take up to 8-10 weeks to see results. I have been using it for just over 2 months now.

Mavala Double Lash Applicator

I loved the idea of an easy application (can't do with anything time consuming and messy!). I applied it every night on clean skin, I brushed it through my eyebrows and eyelashes. The substance is like a serum base so glides on easily and there is no smell to it, which is a plus!

Now we get to the nitty gritty of it. It did take some time to see regrowth in the eyebrows, I would say about 6 weeks or more and the eyelashes seemed to produce faster results. In roughly about 4 weeks my eyelashes felt thicker, not necessarily longer, the length came later and that took roughly about 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately (silly me) I did not take any before and after photo's of my eyelashes to show you, Sorry people!

Would I recommend this product? Yes, why not! It is affordable, easy to apply and multi-purpose. The downside is, you need to be consistent with the application, the key is patience if you want to see results.

Hey Lovelies,

Hey Lovelies,

Here we are a again the start of a new month, is it officially the start of Summer??!

I feel like I posted more pictures last month on Instagram, which is good for me as I am always taking pictures and seem to forget to post them anywhere!ha

I was playing host/tour guide for the first week of June for one of my good friend's who visited me from London, plus hubby and I ventured out on the weekends at the start of the month so I managed to snap some photo's along the way!
Here it is My Top 6 Instagram pics for June!

This was one of the places I took my friend when she came to visit, Batu Caves. I did write a blog post recently on My Top 5 Places to See in Kuala Lumpur which features Batu caves. It was sooooo hot that day we visited Batu Caves and even more hot when we were in the caves. I took this photo inside the cave and you can see the statues sitting on the roof top, of one of the temples looking down on us. It is a must see if you ever visit Kuala Lumpur, just make sure you carry a bottle of water when you go!


Hubby and I capturing a moment on a overcast afternoon in Putrajaya, with the famous pink Mosque in the background!

Another photo taken in Putrajaya. Here I posted this photo promoting a blog post I wrote on our Saturday Afternoon in Putrajaya! Even though it is a fairly newish City, you can still appreciate the beautiful architecture going around the town. The building behind me is called Perdana Putra which is the office complex for the Prime Minister of Malaysia.


I swear I am not doing this on purpose.....I just noticed as I'm writing this, that most of my popular photo's are related to my blog post's!!Doh
We heard about this French Market taking place on one of the weekends and decided to go check it out. It was nice to enjoy some of what France is best known for.....FOOD! Again, it was a lovely day out and a bit out the norm. Click Le Marche de France-Kuala Lumpur if you would like to see more of that day:). My mouth is watering again looking at all those juicy croissants!!


This photo was taken at Cafe de Paris, Kuala Lumpur. We come here regularly for coffee (coffee is good here!) and occasionally have something to eat there too. I ordered their Salmon Salad for the first time and it was divine!!YUM Cafe de Paris is right in the centre of town and located in Pavilion Mall. I would highly recommend this place Oh and  the sandwiches are really scrumptious too!

Last but not least, one of my most recent photos.......and again relating to my Blog post!! I write a post every Friday called #fashionfridayfix, where I share with you all my new discoveries of Fashion Bloggers, Designers, Artists...basically anything Fashion related. I like the ethos behind this business and it's contribution's to the local women of Papua New Guinea.

Hi Lovelies,

Hope you have all had a good start to the week?!

I am not one to always splurge on makeup and beauty products, but I did notice where I have been travelling quite a bit this year, I had made a few beauty purchases along the way. Funny enough, they are all new products, not ones that I ever used before....I am stepping out of my comfort zone Shock Horror!
So, below I am sharing with you all My Recent Beauty Buys and giving a little feedback on how I am finding them so far.

Kevyn Aucoin-The Sensual Skin Enhancer

When I was back in the UK, I popped into Space.NK with my sister and we came across Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer. I had been looking for a new concealer for some time, something to use instead of my go to Bobbi Brown. Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer is SUPER pigmented, so the tiniest amount goes a long way. I liked how it brightened my under eye area  and covered up the darkness. I cant lie it is pricey and more than I would "ever" want to spend on a beauty product, but the pay off is A-mazing. It comes in a 18g jar, so where it is highly pigmented and you only need a teeny weeny amount, it will last you AGES! On the box, it does state you can also use it as a foundation and corrector, but I prefer to use it as a concealer. I use it as part of my everyday makeup. Love!

Sephora- Beauty Blender

I had been umming and ahhing on weather to purchase one of these, as I have been happy thus far applying makeup with either my fingers or my makeup brushes. In the end, I caved in and  bought one from Sephora and...........well...lets just say I'm happy I didn't purchase the original Beauty Blender. I haven't got anything bad to say about it, maybe I need to practice using it a little more to get the technique right. I haven't seen a great deal of difference in using this or my makeup brushes, but I will keep you updated on this one, if I change my mind and feel it has made a significant difference in my makeup application.
Info: I bought this one from Sephora in Kuala Lumpur, I cant find any links for this product I'm afraid.

Rimmel- Kate Lipstick in Rossetto Rouge (107)

I have not bought anything from Rimmel for, I don't even know how long!! I heard lots of good stuff about the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks and was looking for a new lipstick to update my makeup look. Can I just say "WOW", this lipstick is such a beautiful colour, the pigmentation is on point, it is a matt finish, last's a good few hours and only cost me "£5.49". I wish I bought more! I would say, this particular colour would suit most skin tone's, it is like a berry red colour. Love!

Mavala- Double Lash

I don't want to say too much about this product Mavala Double lash, as I will be reviewing it shortly for you all! I know I am "extremely" late on the Lash growth serum craze, it's just that I always had my doubts and was not willing to go all out on paying lots of money for something that may not work. I then came across this product in Boots, it is affordable, easy to apply and I liked that it is a multi purpose product, as well as your eyelashes you can also apply to your eyebrows too!
So, stay tuned for my review;)

Acca Kappa- Body Lotion & Natural Lip Balm

These two products by Acca Kappa I did not purchase. It actually came in a airline toiletry bag that I was given on one of my flights! I have seen the name before, but have never thought to try their products. The Body Lotion is Green Mandarin and has a gorgeous scent, my skin seems to absorb it as soon as I rub it in, leaving it soft to the touch. The Natural Lip balm I have been using everyday as part or my morning routine. My lips can get really dry, especially living in a hot country where you are in and out of air conditioned rooms. This product contains Jojoba Oil & Sweet Almond Oil, so it leave's my lips feeling nice and  moisturised. If I had to purchase myself, I would probably re-purchase the lip balm, I do like the body lotion, it's just that I am happy with what I currently use.

I have been using Essie nail polishes for some time now and was on the hunt for a new colour. I wanted a neutral tone (not pink or cream) and came across what is described as a pale grey colour. I like the subtlety of it against my skin tone and again, I think it is a colour that would suit most skin tones. This has been my go to colour recently and easily goes with my outfits, Love it! Whilst in Boots where I purchased my Essie Nail Polish, I saw they also do a All in One Base Coat, which I was in need of, so I thought why not give it go! To be totally honest, is is not the best base coat or Top coat I have ever used. I prefer to use Leighton Denny or OPI. But definitely thumbs up to Essie Nail Polishes!
