Apollo Spa at the Corinthia - St.Georges bay

On Thursday I ventured along to the open evening at the Apollo Spa in the Corinthia Hotel at St.Georges bay. I've been to the hotel before, I used to use the personal trainer in the gym there and always walked through the Spa area and thought it looked lovely. When I received my invite it mentioned that they had new treatment rooms, so I was looking forward to checking it out.

When you first walk into the spa area you walk past the pool, and it looks such a nice relaxing pool, I always wanted to go, but never got round it. When we arrived we were greeted at the reception by a member of staff who handed us our envelopes with special discounts , after filling in our details we were show towards the treatment rooms where another member of staff showed us around the newly refurbished rooms.

As part of the open evening they were demonstrating their treatments so you could receive a free back massage, facial, or manicure. I put my name down for a facial as I was needed one anyway.

After the treatment room tour I made my way back to the reception to grab a drink while I was waiting for my facial. I love spa's, I just love their whole cosy feeling, there is nothing better than relaxing in a big fluffy robe and slippers!

When it was my time for my facial I made my way back through to one of the treatment rooms, it was dimly lit and felt really welcoming. I lay down on the bed as the therapist got to work. She mentioned she was using Yonka products, which i've never tried before but smelled soooo amazing. It was just a mini facial so I was only there for around 15 minutes, but it was so nice and relaxing. It was nice to actually sample their services on an open day, it definitely made me want to go back for more!

On the evening we received a 30% discount voucher, so I couldn't resist and booked myself in for a pedicure next weekend, with that I also get to use the spa facilities, so I'm looking forward to making a day of it with some lunch and relaxing by the pool.

Open day at Beauty & Co - Swieqi

Here in Malta there isn't as many launch parties or products events like there is in London, I'm always jealous of the London bloggers who get to these cool events, but Malta is my home for now and I try to make the most of what the little island has to offer.

Today my local beauty salon was having an open day, they had jewellery and clothing on sale, and also were promoting their services. I went along to show my support as you couldn't meet a friendlier bunch of people who always make me feel more than welcome. I have the same person doing my nails every time and I've come to consider the staff my friends. Once a month I go to get my nails done and we all catch up on each others gossip and talk about our latest beauty finds.

Here's some pictures I took from the event:

Jewellery was by Jazzy Jewelz (www.jazzyjewelzmalta.com), they had a massive selection to choose from so it was hard to walk away empty handed. I bought myself a ring and some bracelets.

The bags,scarfs, belts and clothing were from Ferramoda, who last night held their fashion show at the Radisson blu in St.Julians. Their pieces are all unqiue and hand made from Italy.

If your looking for a beauty salon in, I can highly recommend Beauty & co in Swieqi. I've been going for over 3 years for all my beauty needs and can't fault them at all, they are really an all round great salon.

Have a great weekend!

Me am Chic Event

At the weekend I ventured along to the MFCC here in Malta for the Me am Chic event. As far as days out go for malta, this was one of the better things I've found to do. Being away from the UK I miss out of things like 'Girls day out', which is right up my street. So when I saw the Me am Chic event, I couldn't wait to go. Mainly because it's something different to do.

So here's some photos I took at the event...

There was loads to see, and there was some brands there I was surprised to see in Malta, one of them being Dermalogica. As one of my favourite skin care brands, I was happy to learn they've just launched a stand at The Point! There was Sienna tan, dove, macadamia oil, Threads (threading booth - that i took the opportunity to tidy my eyebrows up!), schwarzkopf, Bourjois, revlon and much more!

I went on the Sunday, but throughout the weekend there was Nail Compete, a stiletto race, a 50 shades of grey treasure hunt, fashion shows and much more. I was so happy to find out that the girl who does my nails won all 3 categories that she entered in Nail Compete, she really does an amazing job. Well done Faye!

I went along with my friend Lisa and enjoyed a few hours browsing all the stalls seeing everything they had on offer. I was also invited to drop by the schwarzkopf stand, where I received some lovely goodies to review, so i'll be blogging about them shortly.

All in all I had a great day out, it was nice to do something different in Malta, and i'll be sure to attend next year.

Sephora Lip Gloss in Christmas Candy

 As part of my Sephora Haul I got some of Sephora's own lip glosses to try. One of the shades I picked up 09 Christmas Candy, just to get me in to holiday spirit.

Christmas candy is a red coloured gloss, but goes on rather sheer, it also has glitter in it, perfect for those christmas parties coming up!

While there isn't much colour, one thing I do love is the smell and taste, it's fruity, but not over powering, just enough to go "oooh" when you're putting it on. The formula couldn't be any better either, it slides onto the lips and isn't sticky what so ever which I love. No one likes a sticky lip gloss!!

Have you tried the Sephora Lip glosses - what's your favourite shade?
