Hello my dear readers...just a quick not to say that I am sorry I have been away. I am in summer school mode at the moment and I am working day and night. Also, my access to the internet is very very limited so it might take me a couple of more days to get a post up.
I hope you are all well and that you can excuse my absence...!

From left to right: Sephora Cotton Flower Creamy Shower Gel, Santangelika Idroadapt Silk Daytime Moisturiser, Santangelika DNAENERGY Silk Moisturising mask and the Sephora showergel capsule in green tea.
The cotton flower scent is amazing and so is green tea. All in all the new sephora collection featuring shower gels, body butters, perfumes, scrubs etc is worth checking out.
Also I am very much impressed with the Santangelika products. I was recommended these by my local pharmacist and I love them both.

Review: Maybelline Colour Tattoo e/s
Sooo....long time no post...!I was on holiday for a couple of days. I went to the northern part of Greece to visit my mom's side of the family and attend my niece's baptism. Now I am back and ready to attend to my blog's needs. I had this post more or less ready but I had very minimal access to the internet while I was away so I couldn't post it.
About 3 weeks ago I was doing some shopping and stumbled across the Maybelline Colour Tattoo e/s. Lots and lots of bloggers and vloggers have been raving about this product so I thought: Why not pick one up??!!
The one I ended up getting was in the colour "Permanent Taupe" and I am now lusting over another two colours.
Now this is a gel-cream e/s which can be used by itself or as a base. Personally I like putting this colour all over the lid of the eye and then go over it with a taupe e/s (for example: NYX's "Perfect Taupe"). I do this whenever I am lazy(which is most of the time) and I want a nice neutral eye with a lot of dimension. I don't always set it to be honest but if I am going to be wearing the same make-up for a very long time then I will go the extra mile and use the powder e/s on top of the Colour Tattoo.

I really don't have any negative points for this product except , maybe, the fact that you need to work relatively fast with it since it sets quickly. Also, I kind of hoped the range of colours would be larger but I think they might expand it in the future. Other than that it is:
1. Long Lasting(don't know about the 24 hour claim but it does last a good 10 hours on me)
2. Pigmented (A little goes a long way)
3. Blendable
4. Reasonably priced(I wanted to get a paintpot to use in a similar way but this is a cheaper alternative)
5. Easy to use(I put it on with my finger and then blend with an e/s brush)
I hope you liked this short review. Let me know what you think of this product(if you've tried it).

p.s. I bought this product with my own money. :)
