<br />
The star of the show is probably this cape/blazer, it is timeless and elegant. Im crazy about capes in genera, but not so much about blazers, i find them looking too matronly (at least on me), so this is a perfect combination to pair with the following dress.<br />
<br />

I cant say much about this dress apart the fact i am crazy in love with it, and the fact its a skater dress is very flattering on each body type.<br />

Let's face it, cat-eye glasses are cool and flatter every shape face, i chose black and white because i'm not a fan of bright colours.<br />

<br />
Since the collar of the dress i chose, speaks for itself, no need for bracelets and necklaces thank to the awesome collar and sleeves, a ring would be the perfect jewellery piece to add. I love this one, as it's simple yet playful.<br />

Purple and Suede? One of my favourite combos ever! Plus buckles make it look a bit more rock which i love. They add that touch of colour i want and are so feminine.<br />

I love this classic and simple clutch, and i love the shape of it, plus it's real leather. I would wear it on a night out or even during daytime.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is my wishlist for the competition, of course being OBSESSED with "Wednesday Addams" type dresses, i may get that one anyway because its the best looking one i have found in a long time, unless i could pay 3 k for a Valentino or Moschino, but meh. Not a fan of colour, i decided to play with the monochrome trend and add a pop of colour, plus silver jewellry looks so much better than gold on me.<br />
Good luck to all the girls who enter this competition !<br />

Some well loved products i have been using.Hey girls, I hope you are all doing well! It feels so weird to be writting again, but i have missed blogging and sharing my cosmetic addiction with every single one of you.<br />
These are the products i have been reaching towards to the last couple of months, nothing fancy, exciting or new to the beauty blogging world but good ol' staples.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Clarins - gelee autobronzante express: Love that stuff as it's non streaky. I loathe the smell of self tanner tho, and when it rubs off it leaves patches (after 3-4 showers and after swimming in the sea). I will repurchase tho, because it doesn't make me look orange.</li>
<li>Bedhead- Urban antidotes shampoo & conditionner- I wanted to try something different than Kerastase and I love this stuff. I am growing my hair out, so i need all the moisture possible since my hair is curly. The smell is fruity and not overpowering.</li>
<li>Embryolisse- lait-crème concentré: LOVE! What can i say that hasn't already been said? It's everything a moisturiser should be. </li>
<li>Korres #87 ocean blue nail polish. This lovely colour has been on my nails for a week now.</li>
<li>MAC Nymphette lipglass- The PERFECT summer lipgloss, the golden shimmer makes it look amazing on the lips.</li>
<li>Essence crease brush. Some essence products are hit or miss, but i like this one for the crease and for blending as it's quite small and not scratchy.</li>
<li>Estee Lauder -double wear concealer: Not caky, blendable ,offers a nice coverage and has an additional SPF to it.</li>
<li>Dior lipliner in Terre cuite #433. This colour over Nymphette is awesome, and over a nude lip as well. It's very Lana Del Rey.</li>
<li>Too Faced -soleil matte chocolate bronzer: I bought this one on a whim, it's a great bronzer although i find it doesn't last that long on my face...I really am obsessed with bronzers lately! I want something to bronze and to contour, as I am not crazy about blush ...</li>
</ul>

I hope you enjoyed this, I have ideas for some other posts as well....Let me know what you have been using alot lately, I love reading your comments.</div>

<ul><li>Sephora nail patch art. How cute are these? So many patterns to chose from. Easy to apply too. I will report back if these chip within 1 or 2 days. I was reading the reviews and they seem to chip immediatly....</li>
<li>I am going away to France for a week soon, and i am already overwhelmed from the vast ammount of skincare and beauty products I want! French pharmacies rule! Any suggestions from brands? I want to try Lierac!</li>
</ul><div><b>Out: </b>Burberry body EDP. I profited from the Sephora sales, and i have no clue what possessed me. Instead of getting the new Valentino, which smells divine by the way... I got this atrocious smelling cheap junk of a perfume. Not only it smells BAD on me, but also on my mother, grandmother, and best friend. So it can't be a chemistry thing...I got sucked in reading the notes (vanilla, and musk) NO! This smells like cheap lemony roses and it smells very cheap and sour. Do not get it! Picture not included, as i threw that horror. I didn't give it to any of my friends.</div><div><br />

<ul><li>For all you greek girls out there, don't you just LOVE the Apivita face masks? I am addicted, I admit. I got the apricot scrub and the papaya peel off mask which i both use every 2 weeks. Bonus, in some pharmacies you get a free undereye mask with rose for 2 purchases.</li>
<li>Nuxe- Reve de miel lip balm in a jar. First time i use this, i like it...the scent is refreshing but it's matte on the lips, no cute glossy effect. So I use it before bedtime.</li>
<li>I am really stocked to try the Nuxe teint eclat prodigieux, tinted moisturizer I got some samples from. I hope this will not irritate my skin, since it's heavily fragranced.</li>
<li>Avene- cleanance face mask- Great for oily skin. A staple for me.</li>
<li>Darphin- Gel lissant defatigant yeux. First time trying this product, we will see how it goes...I am on the haunt for the perfect eye cream. I was stuck between Liercac, Neostrata, Avene and this one. I will report back! (I have undereye puffiness :-( )</li>
<li>Vichy Normaderm face wash. I was out of my Apivita one ( for oily skin) which i quite liked, but i wanted to try something new. I will report back! </li>
<li>Avene- thermal water. I use this every single day, when i wash my face, after the gym, when i want to feel refreshed, after shaving...but never to set my makeup. It's water, means it will dissolve it. I love it as it soothes the skin. It's a must for me.</li>

Now I'm stuck with a product far from great...I wanted something dark and vampy for my eyes, to go along with MAC Media lipstick so i purchased...but sadly:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>The consistency is quite dry.</li>
<li>It goes on patchy and streaky.</li>
<li>It looks more like an off-black than a purple, even a dark purple.</li>

With that said, I took a decision and chopped my hair off! All the damage my hair suffered from the summer and dying my hair ombre, made me start fresh. I always used to say that I will NEVER cut my hair, that I will keep it long for the rest of my life, but never say never, right? I needed a change and voila the results...(Please excuse the poor quality webcam pictures and the shiny face...)<br />

<ul><li>Book by Celine, very depressing. However i recommend it, the writting style is phenomenal.</li>
<li>Prada Candy. Vanilla,musk and caramel, how lovely! It's an amazing scent for layering, its not overly sweet and strong but it goes very well with my body chemistry (I love to layer it over Benefit Carmella). You should give this one a try! If you do not like sweet scents, i would urge you to smell the new scent from BVLGARI jasmin noir, its an amazing musky sensual floral.</li>
<li>MAC makeup bag</li>
<li>Korres cherry lip gloss in light purple- I am not a lipgloss person but these are amazing, so smoothe non sticky and moisturizing. This shade is fantastic too, a very light natural pink.</li>
<li>H&M black studs (came in a pack of 3, but these are my favourites)</li>
<li>YSL #7 Lingerie Pink- This one is a gift, and I usually shy away from blue based pinks but I am starting to dig baby pink lips for some reason...</li>
<li>MAC travel size #129 brush- Kinda scratchy but i use it anyway. </li>
<li>Clinique pressed powder i use with a MAC puff to blot away the excess oils on my face during the day.</li>
<li>Bourjois delice de poudre bronzing powder #52, I use this as a blush and for contour, love the coconutty smell!</li>
<li>MAC technakohl liner in Graphblack- Trying to use it up for B2M, a bit hard to work with but at least it doesnt smudge easily.</li>

I am really wanting the <a href="http://www.michaeljohn.co.uk/shop/beauty/anne-semonin-eye-express-radiance-ice-cubes.html">Anne Semonin</a> eye cubes that Lisa showed in the video!

<br />
<ul><li>Garnier Caffeine Anti-dark circles tinted eye roll (LOVE this stuff!)</li>
<li>Mey Techno-Eye gel. This was quite expensive, i believe 50 or 60 euros and recommended by the dermatologist. I store it in the fridge for a cooling effect and it works nice but next time i want to try Clinique.</li>
<li>Green tea ice cubes with vitamin E.</li>

I am excited to be back and extremely stocked to see that<a href="http://www.buynowbloglater.com/"> lollipop26</a> and <a href="http://www.theglossgoss.com/">Tali</a> are back into the blogging world!<br />
I want to share my latest nail obsession, shellac. Expensive but oh so worthy to me (30 euros, gasp!). I don't even care about the new nail polish releases anymore. I for one, am a creature of habit. I don't mind having the same colour on my nails for a month and more as long as it looks clean, shiny and it doesn't chip. Shellac gives me all that. I only attempted dark colours on my nails like these:<br />

<br />
I also had rock royalty done, i forgot to take pictures sadly, but it's an amazing aubergine colour. My next one will be Fedora, a dark brown almost black vampy colour.<br />
<br />
What is on your nails lately? Tell me your shellac experiences!<br />
<br />
<b>Hair update</b>: After a failed attempt at ombre hair, i cut my hair into a bob. It is extremely hard to style curly hair when it's short and curly so i have to straighten it all the time. I loved my long hair, but the hairdresser ruined it so the only way to start fresh was to cut it.<br />
<br />
Expect more posts from me soon!<br />

It's an amazing orange-coral that also acts as a lip stain when I don't want to look OTT. I don't use a lip liner with that one, to give it a more youthfull, street look.</span></li>

I always pair a highlighter with it to make me look more fresh. MAC refined golden and MAC CCB in hush are a must have for me during summer. A combination i recommend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDtg9cxQqsjjNRQyfeauAVKa9jEu5nOFDmdcR0sg0djxxvwK1VeRpj9vAOQl2oeS2uKfMrPoWpBRQEtNSuSa15PFxyInXL5LjVGOU6NGG1Y-so5JHOEJfgfzwDjQaUqRjWNDEVEaAwnTNi/s1600/blush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDtg9cxQqsjjNRQyfeauAVKa9jEu5nOFDmdcR0sg0djxxvwK1VeRpj9vAOQl2oeS2uKfMrPoWpBRQEtNSuSa15PFxyInXL5LjVGOU6NGG1Y-so5JHOEJfgfzwDjQaUqRjWNDEVEaAwnTNi/s320/blush.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />
3. <b><span style="color: purple;">Nail polish</span></b>- During the winter i ONLY wear dark shades. In summer, it looks quite ridiculous so pastels, turquoises and bright pinks are my best friend. <br />

4. <b><span style="color: purple;">Liquid face product</span></b>- In Greece the weather is way too hot to wear a liquid face product, unless it's sunscreen of course. That one is a given and common sense, so i rather show what i use to cover any problem areas on my face. I spot conceal or cover redness with a concealer or with a stick foundation that will give me coverage and not melt away after 2 minutes.<br />

6.<b> <span style="color: purple;">Hair product</span></b>- Since i wash my hair so often during summer, after the beach etc...i am a bit lazy to use conditionner so i put on a leave-in conditionner that i also use at the beach to protect my hair. Lazyness being key here, i also tend to wear my hair at it's natural curlyness so a mousse is essential to stop the frizz. At 40 degrees, i doubt anyone wants to sit blowdrying their hair and straightening it.<br />

I must be the only person in the world:p However, what i use religiously every summer is the Nuxe huile prodigieuse with shimmer. It makes me look shimmery and smells divine. I use that all over my body and in my hair. Also, for the first time in my life i wanted to tan a tiny bit my legs but without being orange, just golden and since i have sensitive skin, i ventured into Avene.

Italian brand "sweet ballerinas" makes the cutest flats ever, they really remind me of some miu miu or prada but they are a bit less stiff and uncomfortable (I tried some prada ones that were so pretty but they didn't hold my feet too well)...and who doesn't love bows on their flats ? I can never find flats that are comfortable for me, they are either too big, too small, they slip away but these are just fine. This reminds me i need a new pair of Repetto's...<br />

Have a great week!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969997296039725331.post-5923729164702441522011-05-18T16:37:00.002+03:002011-05-18T19:43:05.366+03:00I have been Shellac-ed!I wanted a Shellac manicure since ages, actually since i saw Lisa Eldrige's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mItP5g9d4M">video</a> on it! For those of you who don't know what a Shellac manicure (or pedicure) is, it's a new type of nail polish that adheres to your nails for 15 days or more without chipping and without causing the nail damage. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.cnd.com/Products/Color/shellac-hello.aspx">here</a>. The price is 30 euros, so not so much more expensive than your standart manicure which would last much less.<br />
When i booked my apointment i had a dark brown shade in mind, but since the weather has been so hot and sunny, it would look quite ridiculous so I opted for the coral shade called tropix which turned out coraly/pink on me and i love it!<br />
I wanted to film the whole process and take pictures step by step, but the lady there didn't let me, and told me to call the PR company...pfff :-( (Which I may do when i get my second Shellac or my shellac pedicure for all of you to see).<br />
The whole process took about 35 minutes, it just consists of alot of layering and placing your hand in the UV light activator, and the amazing thing is after you are done, your nails are hard as rock and you don't have to wait for them to dry!<br />
I will take a picture each week, or once my nail chips so you all can see if this is long lasting. Also, my nails are TERRIBLE and nothing lasts more than 2 or 3 days on me, even with a top quality basecoat.<br />
<br />
(Excuse my nasty nails, i have the worse cuticles ever despise all the hand creams, solar oil and Sally Hansen cuticle remover...sadly only a good manicure fixes that :-( )<br />

I went out and got YSL faux cils in vibrant violet and MAC beautiful iris eyeshadow, and after using them for about a week here are my thoughts.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaMOv-N-nTwKaBJ72sgSV8Y4b_7c3ZJbuQvixAnUVtGDbRIDs0ktzmDR_V4FpisvKBUbAeRL7lMqZ0ikmbRtILi4Ia_9-zCT8DCOzUeThKCOHf7GZmLaGBcbeXGjn2LBmR-UZ6BC23xS5K/s1600/Eyes+iris+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaMOv-N-nTwKaBJ72sgSV8Y4b_7c3ZJbuQvixAnUVtGDbRIDs0ktzmDR_V4FpisvKBUbAeRL7lMqZ0ikmbRtILi4Ia_9-zCT8DCOzUeThKCOHf7GZmLaGBcbeXGjn2LBmR-UZ6BC23xS5K/s320/Eyes+iris+2.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><ul><li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>MAC beautiful iris eyeshadow</strong>: Extremely disapointed in it, the pigmentation is lacking and the staying power is beyond ridiculous. Now knowing it's a veluxe pearl, one of the best eyeshadow formulas from MAC I had high expectations. The colour is lovely in the pan but on the eyes as you can see, even with a base and packing it on 3 times it has no colour payoff. Mac purples seem pretty weak, and I regret not getting a Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier purple.

I was looking for a purple mascara that has a playfull purple payoff on the lashes for spring, not too extreme and 90's looking either but not as subtle as this one.After reading all the positive reviews on makeupalley I knew I had to get this one. On the picture, taken in daylight and zoomed in, you can notice the colour is gorgeous on my lashes. However in real life it's not noticable at all and it almost looks like a grey/black. My lashes are quite dark but a bit lighter at the ends, which should have made the result way more vibrant but it didn't, and I don't want to use a primer underneath either because it doesn't work on my eyelashes with this mascara (clumpy and spidery looking). I would recommend this for daytime use, if you want a very subtle hint of purple not even noticable (or if you have blonde lashes) but if you want dramatic beautiful purple colourful lashes that make an impact for nightime, don't bother and skip it.</div></li>

I couldn't resist this ring i saw on <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/">net-a-porter</a> by Kenneth Jay Lane, and the fact that it is an adjustable ring made me purchase it right away. I am hesitant when it comes to buying rings online, because i never know my size. I love my new ring, but the downside is that it's a bit heavy. I think it can be quite unisex as well.<br />

On another note, i am loving lillac and purple on my eyes this week. I think i want MAC's beautiful iris. Last night i wore the MUFE aqua cream in #18 mauve and im not impressed with the staying power at all...I used it without a base and it was almost gone 5 hours later, and i packed it on and set it with an eyeshadow. I may try Laura mercier or bobbi brown...<br />

That is the video that inspired me to do my makeup a bit different lately, instead of charging everything on the top lid for day time, trying to smoke the lashline to create that messy, unkept effect that looks effortless and cool. I did my own twist on it, because I do not own all the same products, but also because my eye shape is different. She also has lovely brows so I tried to thicken my non existent brows a bit! In the video, she specifically mentionned to not necessarily use the same products and copy everything, so this is what I did. <br />

<br />
I used MAC rubenesque paint pot all over the lid, and smoked my lashline with MAC Cork, MAC handrwitten and Chanel ebony. The key is layering...And MAC fluidline on the lashline followed by coats and coats of mascara. For lips Crystal baby was perfect for this look, glossy and neutral! <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed ! <br />

I wandered to the Estee Lauder counter, to buy an item that has been on my wishlist forever (blame pixiwoo again), which is Crystal baby. I wanted to check out Crystal rose, and crystal pink but the SA who was extremely rude, couldn't find the testers so I ended up getting crystal baby. <br />
If anyone watches <a href="http://www.amodelrecommends.com/">amoderecommends</a> on youtube and follow her lovely site, you know she loves Estee lauder nude nuance blusher and that it looks amazing on her, it makes her cheeks look so radiant and bronzed. I swatched it and it looked a bit orangey...have you ever tried it ? Let me know, because i think I may end up getting that one for summer :-p<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like the fact that it's glossy, moisturizing and buildable and you can slap it on without worrying too much. However the first time i tried it i was a bit disapointed, i felt that it's a "my lips but worse" colour because it wasn't anything exceptional (think of a more toned down version of MAC hue and way more glossy). I tried it on this morning, and it starts to grow on me, it's a very natural colour, non offensive and office appropriate. It smells delicious, a bit less fruity than the YSL rouge voluptes. I really like the formula, and now i want to try Crystal pink or Crystal rose.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

For 6 euros you cannot go wrong, and the bottle isn't as huge as the OPI ones, so you don't feel like you waste product. Korres nail polishes are my new addiction, because i cannot be bothered to pay 15 euros for OPI in Sephora here, they are so opaque and long lasting and come in a great range of colours. It's an exact dupe as Essie turquoise & caicos as pictured below. When i went to pick some up I found many Essie dupes with a better quality. Essie is always hit and miss for me (mostly miss)....For 11 euros i expect my nail polish to be flawless and not a streaky mess! I am so glad Korres put on the market more funky shades, I hope they release even more because I will be buying.<br />

I also picked up a dark purple, that looks like Essie sole matte but isn't as streaky and a bright pink for summer.

<ul><li>Bioderma Sensibio makeup remover. It is as great as everyone claims it is, i don't think i will ever repurchase another makeup remover ever. Feels like water, remove layers and layers of makeup incredibly.</li>
<li>Klorane dry shampoo. I had never ever tried any dry shampoo, and i know alot of UK ladies rave about Baptiste dry shampoo, so i thought i would try the Klorane version (one of my favourite haircare brands). It gives me massive volume and smells great! </li>
<li>Kerastase volumactive mousse. I was in a dire need of a mousse, this one is pretty good and leaves my hair soft.</li>
<li>Clinique high impact mascata- Nothing dramatic about this mascara I must admit, i will use it for daytime as it's very soft and natural.(Nothing can beat YSL faux cils...)</li>
<li>Korres nail polish in bright pink #12</li>
<li>Korres nail polish in vert amande #92</li>
<li>MAC something special cremeblend blush. I love this new formula, so easy to blend and buildable. I think i want posey now.</li>
<li>Korres intensive colour lipgloss #13. I am in LOVE with these. The scent reminds me of MAC, very sweet and vanilla-ish, the pigmentation is amazing and it is the perfect colour for the "my lips but better" look. They feel like nothing on the lips, water based and they fade beautifully. I cannot wait to get more shades.</li>
</ul>My makeup guard :-)<br />

Also bought an amazing handcream, since my L' Occitane one ran out. I love french skincare!<br />
<br />
And a greek essential oil called Laurel oil for hair masks. Most greek girls I know, once a week deep condition their hair with olive oil and this particular essential oil that stimulates hair growth. It isn't as disgusting as it sounds, actually olive oil makes my hair so shiny and smoothe and doesn't weigh down my hair at all nor leaves it oily. I am also getting used to the herbal smell after so many years:P I will maybe do a post on how i do this hair mask.<br />

Let me explain, most pinks are very cool toned, and do not suit me at all. I wish i could pull off MAC Saint Germain, YSL Lingerie pink, MAC Snob, MAC Pink nouveau...as much as i try they look terrible on me. Chatterbox however is a warm toned pink (hard to come across), will suit so many skintones and is the perfect fun but yet not too much lipstick you can wear day and night and look gorgeous, a bit doll-like, fun and fresh! It's an amplified which makes it very creamy and not drying on the lips. I will definitely wear this one every single day! <br />

I tossed alot of my expired products, this is what i do every spring as it feels great to renew your makeup stash and also your wardrobe. Here is what i have been enjoying this month, good staples.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyk_kA0CRXwL46K0sVGz9-qI4HZ75JkOt2tyBy8V_kC_vo7RsintpmDXBQTtO2Q-ULgOlW57E-JlL75c8PYujxd7WGrfOAPK5O4p39RA8TK-e5Rp6vPkAc87A9srVtqrZPsW4rYfHZ0Ihyphenhyphen/s1600/IMG_0636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyk_kA0CRXwL46K0sVGz9-qI4HZ75JkOt2tyBy8V_kC_vo7RsintpmDXBQTtO2Q-ULgOlW57E-JlL75c8PYujxd7WGrfOAPK5O4p39RA8TK-e5Rp6vPkAc87A9srVtqrZPsW4rYfHZ0Ihyphenhyphen/s320/IMG_0636.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><br />
<ul><li>Korres japanese rose showergel. I love everything about it. The scent is divine, lathers extremely well and on top of all that it leaves my skin silky smooth which rarely happens with other body washes. It's free of alot of bad chemicals too, so thumbs up for Korres.</li>
<li>MAC moisturecover concealer. I love this one because it's easy to move around and it doesn't look very cakey like MAC studio finish concealer. I use it under the eyes and buff it on my face where i need some extra coverage.</li>
<li>MAC #224 brush. I don't think i could ever live without this brush anymore. I found a new use out if it, when I realised it's not that great for crease work and that I much prefer the #227 for blending. Thank god for pixiwoo, now i use this to buff my concealer under the eyes and on my face, which leaves an airbrush finish.</li>
<li>MAC tan pigment. Perfect warm colour, great for an everyday look. Paired with melon pigment it's my definition of a summery eye makeup look.</li>
<li>Stila kajal eye liner- tiger's eye. Lovely warm brown that makes brown eyes stand out. Most MAC liners smudge on me within 20 minutes, but this one isn't even waterproof and stays put all day on the waterline and doesn't settle in my crease on the eyelid. I highly recommend this product.</li>
<li>Toleriane foundation. This is one of my favourite foundations and you do not even need powder with this one because the coverage is good. It's oil-free and great for sensitive acne prone skin. It leaves a semi matte/satin finish on the skin and has an SPF of 25. If you have sensitive skin and you think that vichy dermablend is a bit too thick, try this one.</li>
<li>Revlon gloss #180. I admit that i usually do not buy alot of drugstore brands, reason being that where I am drugstore is as much as expensive as high end brands. Luckily, one of my friends gave me this gloss because she hated the colour. Now I see why these are so hyped up everywhere. If you hate MAC sticky glosses and love the chanel ones, you will LOVE the consistency of these, especially if you are in the US and can get them for pretty cheap, i recommend them, silky smooth and feel like a balm and overall a pleasure to apply and they last very well on the lips fading to a nice stain. ( I also have a nude one, but I have used this one more). I consider this one a dupe of Chanel lazer.</li>
</ul>Onto clothes! Since the weather has been on and off, this Juicy Couture jacket is the one i wore everyday. It's an aviator type jacket but in a cotton material. (wearing a Zara tunic underneath)<br />

What are your favourites for March? I love reading these kind of posts!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969997296039725331.post-55889450525824427902011-03-23T12:36:00.002+02:002011-04-14T19:07:56.050+03:00Alexander McQueen & AviatorsI love scarves. Since currently the infamous Alexander McQueen skull scarf is out of stock, and frankly i am happy because i opted for another one that i love just as much. I plan on getting the skull scarf someday, but i much rather have the rare kama sutra skeletons one. This one is really me, not much colour but a touch of pink to embrace the start of spring. The scarf is sold out now sadly and i bought it on revolve clothing. Next on my list has to be a Givenchy. I am wearing ray bans on the picture, no makeup but just a dab of MAC sweetie which i adore!<br />

It was around 40 euros, real leather, it can fit alot and it's going to be my summer bag. I am already exited to pair coral with turquoise and golds!<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsbSMG_zNaW2ITBDxZTc99yCqtIjE2mwdy-px3dP9ibpuiTANCgull0k2wfd6e2wXavqzyLcJVk8N9Fe0E2h8uwt7fNLNhnMwG8EdGGZMX0HhHrwbceAh6ULrvrakniYvkzvkzFko2Z6h/s1600/blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsbSMG_zNaW2ITBDxZTc99yCqtIjE2mwdy-px3dP9ibpuiTANCgull0k2wfd6e2wXavqzyLcJVk8N9Fe0E2h8uwt7fNLNhnMwG8EdGGZMX0HhHrwbceAh6ULrvrakniYvkzvkzFko2Z6h/s320/blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><li>MAC studio finish concealer NC30- It is extremely dry and cakey, applying it with fingers do not work since i pull on my skin too much even after warming it with my fingers. I applied it it under my eyes with my MAC #224 the pixiwoo way, and it still doesnt work, settles in my fine lines, doesnt last long, looks cakey and messy,dry and gross all together. If you zoom on my picture you can see what im talking about, i really wanted to like this product because everyone raves about it but it just doesnt do it for me. I also need to point out, i do not have bad under eye circles and that i always use an eye cream beforehand.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>MAC satin taupe- Such a classic and cult shade which looks stunning on most people, just not on me. I look a bit dirty with it and i have the impression it does nothing to my face, on the opposite of Mulch which lifts my complexion. The formula is however great and buttery so i highly recommend it because it looks good on 99,9% of people! I still try to rock it sometimes, and give it a second chance but i am aware it doesnt really work on me. I am now on the haunt for the best taupe shade, having in mind Guerlain, armani and bunny rouge.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Max factor false lash effect mascara- It's not the worst mascara i have tried but i won't be repurchasing for sure. It adds no drama to my lashes and no length either and it weights them down a bit. I have short lashes and not very full so i need all the boost i can get, and this mascara provides just a bit of volume which is more concentrated at the roots of the lashes if that makes sense. It doesn't clump terribly and it flakes just a bit at the end of the day. I still prefer my YSL faux cils and Korres mascara. Next i want to try Clinique high impact.</li>
</ul>I am wearing all the products on the picture.<br />

I originally went to pick up Impassioned (perfect for summer, bright and fun) and Craving (the most awesome cherry colour) but they were out of stock :-( But i am quite happy with the shades i picked up, very wearable.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>Ombres Perlées de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette. Just like every beauty blogger has been raving, this palette is amazing and the shadows are buttery to the touch. (I am SO late on this one, but it's worth it, can you expect something bad from Chanel? NO!)</li>
<li>MAC Shy Girl. If you are looking for a great peachy nude, not too nude either, this is the one to get. Also if you missed on Jazzed that came out last summer, Shy girl is pretty similar on the lips.</li>
<li>MAC Lovelorn. For me this is Angel's wearable sister as angel is too baby pink on me and too pigmented, this is a lustre and more wearable.</li>
<li>MUFE waterproof cream eyeshadow in #18 mauve. I saw Lisa Eldrige trying it out on one of her latest videos and i really liked the colour on her so i picked it up. It is lovely and long wearing, however when Lisa applies it it's way more pigmented. I apply it with my fingers and i have to quite pack it on to have an intense colour payoff. I want to get YSL in grey amethyst now, i am kind of obsssed with lillac/grey cream eyeshadows!</li>
<li>Essie sole matte. Awesome vampy colour, glossy and sexy.</li>

<br />
Also, one loathe. I got a mini OPI nail polish fromt the Katy Perry collection in "not like the movies", the colour after 2 coats is still not opaque and it's too 90s for my taste. I tolerate it under some lights, under some others i dislike it haha!. I think it looks a bit dirty too and weird. It would look better on darker skintones i think.<br />
