I was recently gifted this beautiful Pandora Silver 14ct Gold Baby Carriage Charm* (£55.00) and a lovely Pandora White Braided Leather Bracelet* (£40.00) and they quickly became my everyday arm candy :)
Sunday Manicure: Floral nail art with Bourjois Dotting Tool
Hi everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I was very busy redecorating our bedroom and I can't wait to share the outcome with you next week :) I am still waiting for a couple of things to be delivered, but it all looks really nice already.
Anyway... :) This weeks manicure is a mixture of pastels and florals with a touch of red. I tried to match my nails to one of my cardigans :) haha. I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple, Bond With Whomever, Hip-Anema and a Bourjois Dotting Tool*.
Review: Beauteco Box August 2013
Another month, another great Beauteco Box*. I am seriously impressed with the selection of products in every single box I received so far. I like a good mixture of makeup and skincare and Beauteco ticked all the boxes again. In August I chose menu 1, with three full size products and two samples. The most exciting part for me was the Lord & Berry makeup :)
High End Makeup Worth The Splurge
I like to treat myself to high end makeup every now and then, but I always do a lot of research, before I splurge on something expensive. There is always a small chance that I won't like it, but.... I am happy with most of my high end purchases. Today I would like to share some of the makeup gems I fell in love with.
9 Ways to Get Your Kids Excited for Your Holiday
So, you’ve finally booked that long-awaited holiday. Exciting, right? But when you tell your kids, they’re about as enthusiastic as a cat in water. Fear not, because below is a great list of ways to drum up a storm of excitement in those little ones for your upcoming getaway, so the tantrums make way for enthusiasm.
French Connection Honey Round Sunglasses
When I was asked, if I would like to review an item from French Connection, I was instantly drawn to the Honey Round Sunglasses* (£69.00). I have been lusting after a pair of round sunglasses for ages, but I wasn't sure if the style will suit me. Well... it doesn't :) haha. They are lovely and I adore the colour of the frames, but as you can see on the photo below, this style makes me look like an old granny :) I think it's because I have a big, round face and I should probably get an oversized pair to look less silly.
Stay smart at festivals
Hi everyone. As a teenager, I used to go to festivals and concerts regularly and I was always worried that some of my things might get stolen. Why? Because when I was 16 my bag was stolen when I was out with my friends. I lost my phone, my documents, all my makeup etc. I was only 16 and absolutely devastated. Since then, I like to stay safe and keep my eye on all my belongings at all times. When I was asked by Allianz Your Cover, if I would like to publish this infographic with tips on how to stay safe and smart during the festival season, I couldn't say no.
Sunday Manicure and Accessorize Rock Star Gift Set
I recently ordered a super cheap Accessorize Rock Star Gift Set from Superdrug and it came with some lovely nail polishes. I have no idea what the shades are called, because there is no info on the bottles or the packaging, but... they are beautiful! One bottle costs £4, if bought separately, but if you buy a gift set, you get everything for a fraction of the retail price.
July favourites: body, hair, makeup and nails
My July favourites are a bit late, but... I am very excited to share some of my new finds with you. I am including body care, hair care, makeup and nails and I will prepare a separate skincare favourites post for August. I just noticed that I featured a lot of lip products, but I have been using them non stop, because my lips get really dry in Summer.
Essie Haul: Spring 2013 and some popular shades
Hi everyone. I am sure that every beauty blogger knows about the £1.99 Essie nail polishes from Fragrance Direct, but... I had to share my finds. They were such a bargain! I wrote a similar post last year and I still can't figure out how can FD sell Essie for the fraction of the retail price. Anyway... I check the website regularly to see, if they have any new colours available and when I noticed the full Spring 2013 Collection in stock... I ordered every single shade. I have been lusting after Avenue Maintain, Maximillian Strasse Her and Madison Ave-Hue for months and they are finally mine! I also bought some other colours, including Bikini So Teeny, Fear & Desire and Off The Shoulder.
My Ultimate Summer Driving Playlist
I love road trips and I am always responsible for the music we will be listening to in the car. It drives my husband insane most of the time :) haha. I always sing on the top of my lungs, until I lose my voice. Yes, I am the annoying passenger, who sings every single song :) Oooops...
Fragrance review: Paco Rabanne Lady Million EDP
Paco Rabanne Lady Million* £42.99 (50ml)
This sophisticated EDP stole my heart when I spotted it in Boots about 2-3 years ago. I have been a big fan ever since and I love using it for special occasions, or when I want to feel like 'a million dollars'. I might sound a bit cliché, but seriously... it smells incredible and screams luxury.
