Sunday Manicure: Paul & Joe Rio and L'Oreal Confetti Top Coat

This weekend I decided to give the beautiful Paul & Joe nail polish in shade Rio some love :) It is such a pretty summer shade! To make the manicure more fun, I added the L'Oreal Confetti Top Coat. I adore the final effect and I will definitely use this combo again. I also used one coat of Seche Vite, to add shine and prolong wear. 

Pretty Flowers

Photography is a big part of my blog and I spend a lot of time taking thousands of photos. Not all of them are beauty/blog related though :) Roses in our garden started to bloom this week and they are absolutely beautiful. For some reason, flowers make me very happy and I always get excited to see them bloom. I put some of them in small vases to make the house look more summery and pretty and it gave me an excuse to take some photos. 

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine :) xo

Birthday Wishlist

I will be celebrating my 26th birthday on the 15th of July and I thought that putting a little wishlist together is a good idea :) I am not fussy with gifts, but I will make sure to let my husband know about this post, haha :) I don't really need anymore makeup or skincare, but I always have something on my wishlist. Always!

MAC Fabulousness Palette "Warm Eyes" review

I bought this palette at the end of last year, but I totally forgot to review it :) The Fabulousness Palette was part of the Glamour Daze Collection and it retailed at £32.00, so it was quite a pricey treat. Before buying this little palette, I had no idea what to expect from MAC eye shadows, so I figured that it was the right time to try the formula. All the palettes and sets from the Glamour Daze Collection were beautiful, but I decided to go for the "Warm Eyes" palette in a lovely cream case.

Pretty Things: Dolce and Gabbana Sunglasses

Dolce and Gabbana Marble Brown Sunglasses* £131.00

Ok, I realise that it isn't the best time to pick a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, since Domenico and Stefano were sentenced to serve 1 year and 8 months of prison time for tax evasion.... but... I have a soft spot for D&G :) 

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors - review and swatches

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors*  £17.00 each

Clarins are one of my favourite brands and I adore their makeup and skincare. One of their most hyped up products is the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector - a unique lip product, designed to make your lips look super plump and beautiful. After trying out three shades, I totally get the hype and I am officially addicted to the formula!

My recommendations for breakouts and acne prone skin

When I was younger, I thought that breakouts are a teenage thing and I was always looking forward to being in my twenties, having perfect skin etc. Well... I can tell you that as a 26 year  old adult, I still get breakouts and most of them are hormonal and look horrible. To keep my skin clear and happy, I use a couple of skincare products aimed at breakout/acne prone skin. 

Home Decor: Ghost Chair

It's been a long time since I added a proper home decor post. Moving house is stressful and I always struggle to pack and unpack everything. Believe it or not... it's been 2 months since we moved in, and I still have some boxes and bags to unpack! Once everything is finished, I will definitely show you my living room :) Today you can see a sneak peek of one corner of our living space and the newest addition to the decor - a ghost chair!
