Review: Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque

Hola!
I know that this Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque has been reviewed to death, but I thought I would weigh in my two cents.

Link Lovin'

Hola!
These have been my favourite internet finds this week.
Since I had to go back to university for a few days this week, to collect my results (officially finished for the year now!) and was without computer for 3 whole days... (it was tough) I only have 3 favourites. Usually, I'll try to post 5 or 6 - this will be difficult, as I usually find loads of links/sites that I love.


Zoella's first makeup tutorial, an everyday look. Really enjoyable to watch! And a couple of interesting things she mentions about the brushes she uses in relation to the size of her face. And it's done in the usual quirky and cute Zoella fashion.

Polished Up #1

Hola! 
Having a good Top Coat and Base Coat combo, is a must-have for long-lasting and chip-free nails. I really like painting my nails and having a fresh new colour on my nails. I generally give myself a manicure every 2/3 days, if I'm not going au natural. Not to mention, it's a fun and relaxing way to have a little bit of "me-time".

What is "Sparkle Sandwich"?

Hola! I thought I'd start my blog by doing a quick little introduction, answering the most common questions that I have as soon as I start reading a new blog. So, without further ado:


Who am I?

My name is Esti, I'm 20 years old and I'm a third year Architecture student, here in the UK. About a year and a half ago, I properly "discovered" (meaning that I'm obsessed with) youtube, beauty and fashion blogs and that whole world. Since then, reading blogs and catching up on youtube tutorials/vlogs are the highlight of each day.


Why have I started this blog?

I decided to start this blog because I love reading other blogs, however, many of the blogs that I read, the majority (coincidentally) happen to have normal/oily skin. I have very sensitive and dry (amongst other issues... *sigh*) skin, so sometimes the skin care and face, foundation products etc. that are recommended don't work well for me. This way I can keep track of products I try and if even one person reads this and is helped in any way, that is more than enough for me.


What am I going to be posting about?

My intention is to post written blogs, reviews and photos about skin care, hair care, nail products, make up, some tasty treats and things that look pretty.


How often/when will I be posting?

I am hoping to post 3 times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, of course, if I have a sudden urge to randomly add a new post, then I will.
