Summer 2014 Favorites.

 Long time no see my lovelies, I hope you all had an amazing summer! In August I took a long break from blogging mostly because half of the month I was away on vacation, at the beautiful Naxos island, which is amazingly beautiful and dreamy. But it was time to get back into blogging again, and since summer is not completely over yet in Greece, I thought it was a great opportunity to show you all the beauty products I used the most in the summertime.

 Sunsilk Sensational Curls Leave-In Cream

In my opinion this is the best curl cream out there, hands down! I have naturally wavy/curly thin hair, I've tried many curling creams in my life, from salon and drugstore brands but this one is the best I've found for my hairtype. It defines them so well without feeling sticky or weight down my hair, and you cannot beat the price, it costs only 2.5 euros.

Garnier Fructis Surf Hair Paste
I've always had a love-hate relantionship with styling products, I've tried so many, from mousses to hair gels and sea salt sprays to try and make my curls look more defined and last for more than a few hours, and none of them could do what this God sent product can do! It creates the most beautiful and texturized curls I've ever seen, especially if I use it with the Sunsilk leave-in cream! I only use a small amount of this paste on really wet hair, if I use a lot my hair's sticky as hell. If you have thin/frizzy curly hair and sea salt sprays do not work on your hair you should definitely try this one, trust me.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
OK I should be honest with you, but when I first bought this cleansing balm I hated it, I was trying to use it as a one step cleanser whenever my skin was feeling more dry but that didn't work. I decided to give it a second chance now that my skin is oily again and I completely love it, but I always use a seperate cleansing gel afterwards. It saved my skin from all the sunscreen that I was using this summer, I've never felt my skin more clean than when I started using this balm, it does an amazing job at removing heavy make up and waterproof sunscreens.

Sephora "Sol De Rio" Bronzing Powder
Bronzer of my choice for this summer was this amazing limited edition one from Sephora, it's very subtle nothing too much,completely matte and perfect for everyday use. You can see a swatch here.

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder
I was very much into powders this summer, sometimes I was just using some concealer and a powder on my face. In my stash I found this one from Revlon which I purchased last year when I visited London, it's a tone darken than my skintone but now that I'm a bit tanned it matches me perfectly. And as you can see I've used a lot of it because I hit pan only after two months of using it. 

Mac Peaches Blush
This is the only blush that I've seen using for two months now, it's the perfect true matte peach blush for the summer. If you have warm skintone you have to try it!

Mac Prep and Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast
I love use highlighting pens as undereye concealer when the weather is hot, even though they doesn't cover as well as a regular concealer. This one has a peach shade that neutralizes my dark brown undereye circles, it makes me look more awake and fresh, and that's more than enought for me.

Essence Get Big Lashes Waterproof Mascara
I was blown away by this mascara, I never thought that such a cheap mascara would give to my lashes so much curl and length. You can see my full review on it here.

NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel
I love using peachy glosses at summer, and this one was just perfect because it's super glossy and doesn't have any shimmers in it. It looks amazing over any peachy and coral lipstick but I loved using it on it's own for a fresh everyday look.

Mac Flamingo Lipstick
I have so many peachy lipsticks, but this summer Flamingo was my number one choice. It's more of a neon coral pink, and it looked amazing even when I wasn't wearing anything else on my face. You can see a swatch here.

L'oreal Color Riche "Lemon Meringue" Nail Polish
I never thought I'd say that a pastel nail polish was my top shade for the summer but it's true! I always go for reds and corals but this one changed my mind! It's not the traditional opaque white nail polish, it has a light yellow-lemonish tint into it that makes it special. Also it looks amazing on toes when you're tanned.



So these were all the beauty products that I loved the most this summer. Have you tried any of those?
What were your favourite products for the summer? Let me know!

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag - Summer Edition.

 Hello everybody! How's everyone doing? Tomorrow I'm leaving for my summer vacation (Naxos here I come!!), so it was a chance for me to show you what make up products I'm bringing with me on this trip! Just a note: I keep the makeup brushes that I'm bringing with me in a seperate makeup bag so I'm not going to show them in this post.

Garnier BB Cream in Light for oily skins

For when my skin is in a good day and I just want bit of coverage on my face. 

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation

A great foundation for night looks for more coverage, but still looking natural and dewy.

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

A lightweight powder that provides a medium coverage, is a bit darker than my skintone so I'm going to use it when I'm more tanned.

Mac Prep and Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast

The brightening concealer I use for under my eyes, it has a thin consistency, and that makes it perfect for the hot summer weather. 

Mac Studio Finish concealer

I wasn't planning to bring this one with me, but lately I've been breaking out like crazy.

Seventeen #03 Cafe Au Lait Matte Blush

I decided not to bring one of my bronzers with me but instead bring my HG matte brown blush that can easily be used as a bronzer. 

Seventeen #02 Hazelnut Pearl Blush

A newly addition to my blush family. At beautiful bronzed-beige shade with shimmers, I'm not going to bring a seperate highlighter with me, I'm just going to use this one.

Mac Peaches Blush

I just could not leave for vacation and not bring a peachy blush with me........I just can't! Peaches is THE one for me when it comes to peachy cheeks. 

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

If you're reading my blog long enough you'd propably already know how much I love this eye palette, I could just live with this one alone in my makeup collection and use it everyday!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Hot and humid weather means that nothing stays on my lids for more than 20 minutes, so an eye primer is a must have.

Seventeen The Stylist mascara

This is new to my collection,  I just started trying this out, I'm not so sure how I feel about it yet. It doesn't give much volume or length, it's just an OK mascara.

Mac Lingering Brow Pencil

One of my HG brow pencils, the shade matches exactly the shade of my brows, it contains wax which is great because it's going to stay on, even on the very humid days!

Mac Flamingo Lipstick

A gorgeous neon coral pink shade with glossy finish, is there anything better for a summer makeup look? I don't think so!

Seventeen Matte Lisptick #24

A brand new addition to my lipstick family, I really love this one for day looks. It's a light peachy shade with a bit of pink and beige, and it's also matte.

NYX  Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel

A beautiful super glossy light coral pink lipgloss with no shimmers. I think everyone should have this in their summer makeup bag.

Essence Lipliner in 09 Nude Coral

The perfect lipliner for all of my coral and peachy lipsticks.

Korres Mango Lip Butter

A coral lip balm is a must have, the perfect lip product when I'm super lazy to apply lipstick or lipgloss.

Maybelline BabyLips SPF20

A lipbalm with SPF is a must when you're going for summer vacation, especially if you're going to the beach or the pool.

 * Makeup bag - Forever21

Well I think I packed a bit too much this time, I'm propably going to use only half of these, but I always like to be prepaired. Do you over-pack like me?

Summer Essentials Part 1 - For Skin, Body and Hair

Hello my lovelies, I hope you're having a great summer so far! And speaking of summer, I thought I would share with you my beauty summer essentials. I know I should have done this post earlier, but hey it's still summer, it's never too late.This first post is going to be all about my skin, body and hair products that I use the most at summertime, and the next one will be all about my make up summer essentials. So let's start!

Face

Now that it's summer our skin tends to become more dry and dehydrated from the sun and the salt water, so it constantly needs to be hydrated. It's very important to use a sunscreen that is right for your skintype, here I chose a lightweight sunscreen, the Korres Sunscreen Face Cream Yoghurt Extreme Fluid SPF30, which is perfect for combination and oily skintypes, and the yoghurt hydrates your skin really well, after you apply it you can feel your cheeks very refreshed. I love the Korres Yoghurt Sunscreen line, the one for normal skintypes is also one of my faves whenever I feel that my skin needs more hydration. You always have to be sure that your sunscreen protects you from both UVA and UVB rays.

A good moisturizer is also very important for the nightime, the Garnier Moisture Match for normal skintypes is very good, I love using it at nightime because it can be a little to heavy underneath make up. It really helps with my dry cheeks a lot, plus is very affordable, and you can find it almost anywhere.

A thermal water spray is a summer essential of mine for years now, whenever I feel my skin dehydrated throught the day I always spritz a little bit of this on my face, and it instantly feels refreshed and hydrated. Avene's Eau Thermal Thermal Spring Water is the best one out there, and I've tried lots of them. It also helps with skin irritations from the sun.

 

 

Body

Sometimes we forget to moisturize our body along with our face, but hydrating your body is also very important. I really like exotic scents at summertime, one of the best exotic scents in my opinion is The Body Shop's Coconut Body Butter, which is super moisturizing it smells like suntan lotion and summer!

One more product that I love using now is a body oil, Garnier's Beauty Oil is one of the best I've tried. I used to use plain baby oil on my legs after shaving, but it was too thick and it was impossible to sink into my skin. Garnier's is like a dry oil, I use it on wet legs and my skin instantly absorbs it, and it smells amazing! If you like body oils you should try it.

 Here in Greece, the sun is super hot and dangerous, a body sunscreen shouldn't just be used whenever we are on the beach or the pool but also while we are outside in the city, the same way we protect our face we should protect our body too, especially when we're wearing shorts and short skirts because our skin is exposed to the sun. Since I'm very white at the moment (my body is a lot paler than my face which I don't understand), I always use a sunscreen on my body with SPF50, the Garnier Sensitive Advanced SPF50 is really good, and absorbs really quick, which is rare for a lotion with an SPF50, most of them are very sticky and whitish. After I get a little more tanned I like to switch to an SPF30 one, the Piz Buin Wet Skin is their new range of sunscreens and they are supposed to be used on wet skin, which makes the sunscreen absorbs really quick and it doesn't feel sticky at all. I'm quite impressed with this one, is the perfect sunscreen to use whenever you're at the beach or the pool.

And here's a product that I can't live without, Apivita's Moisturizing and Cooling After Sun Cream Gel, and if you remember from last year I've already done a post about it here. It's my absolute love, I will never switch to another after sun lotion, ever. It's the best product to use when you have skin irritations from the sun, even the bad ones. Please try it if you can, you won't regret it!

Hair

And now it's time for the hair. Sun and salt water is hair's worst enemy, especially if they're already dry and damaged. I personally noticed a huge change on my hair and scalp the past few months, they switched from oily to dry, and I'm trying a whole lot of different products to keep them hydrated, I also let them air dry a lot which is rare for me because I'm not particular a fan of my natural curly hair but that's OK, it's summertime and I don't care that much.  A hydrating hair mask is very important, a favorite of mine is Herbal Essence's Hell Hydration Hair Mask, it leaves my hair really soft and hydrated, and even though it's a drugstore hair mask is a lot better than many others from salon brands. And you cannot beat the smell, OMG it smells so coconutty and exotic, it feels like you're on holiday everytime you're in the shower!

 

I always use a hair oil after I wash them, and my choice is Sunsilk's Nourishing Oil Spray with Moroccan, Argan and Almond Oils. It's seriously one of the best hair oils I've ever tried on my hair, it leaves them syper smooth, and since it's in a spray bottle I can take it with me at the beach to use it as a detangler.

And as for styling products, since I don't blow dry or use a flat iron to straighten my hair, I need to use something to enchance my natural curls,  last summer I got the L'oreal Professionnel's Play Ball Beach Fizz and I haven't regret it, even though it's a little on the expensive side, it's the best sea salt spray I've ever tried, way better than Bumble & Bumble's which I absolutely hated! It never left my hair dry, and it creates the best cute beachy type of curls, I couldn't ask for more. Sometimes I use a curl cream from Sunsilk before I use the sea salt spray, and the results are even better!

I hope you liked the first part of my summer essentials and really soon I'll post my make up essentials for the summer too. Until then, let me know what are your summer essentials for your skin, body and hair.

Essie Resort 2013 Collection

 

This is the month where the first summer nail collections, pre-summer collections I should say, are starting to release, and that makes me more than happy because summer shades on my nails are the ones that I love the most! 

Essie's Resort collection features six bright and tropical shades, with fun dirty names, who scream summer!

Come Here! - An outrageously nearly neon coral.

First Timer - Fresh newbie green.

In the Cab-ana - Self assured aqua azure.

Under Where - Wildly flirtatious orchid.

Nice Package - Whistle worthy pink dahlia.

Again?! - Fired up raspberry punch.

This is propably one of the few nail collections that I want to get if not all the shades at least 4 of them, but for sure Come Here! and Under Where are the ones that I want the most!

 

Which shades do you like the most from the Resort 2013 collection? Do you enjoy summer nail collections as much as I do? Let me know!

*The Resort 2013 collection is available in Greece since April 2013 at hair and beauty salons, nail studios and spa, 12 € each.

Summer Lipglosses: Peaches & Corals

This is the second part of my peach and coral lip products for the summer. In this one I'm showing you some of my favorite peach and coral lipgosses!

1)Lancome Juicy Pop in Cyber Coral

This is an old Lancome Juicy Tube lipgloss, it's actually called Juicy Pop, propably because of the bright color. It was limited edition back in 2008 with the Lancome's summer collection. It's a non shimmery neon coral pink shade. In the hand swatch it looks more pigmented than it looks on the lips. It's so pretty and unique! I don't see ofter neon lipglosses, even if they're sheer.

2)YSL Golden Gloss in Golden Peach #50

This is my first YSL lipgloss, it was released with their 2012 Spring Candy Face Collection. It's a true peach/tangerine shade, with no pink, highly pigmented with gold flecks. It reminds me of the Mac Dazzleglasses but the gold flecks are more gritty. It has an overpowdering  mango taste which I don't like.

3)Mac Perennial High Style Lipglass

A limited edition shade that it was first released with Mac's Liberty of London collection in the spring of 2012, but I'm pretty sure they had rerelease the same shade with another collection. A highly pigmented coral pink shade with cream texture, no shimmers at all, my favorite texture for Mac lipglasses! And this one is actually one of the few Mac lipglasses that I really enjoyed using, because most of the times Lipglasses are very sticky.

4)Essence XXXL Shine lipgloss in Sparkling Papaya

A beautiful tangerine shade with silver shimmers with a watery non sticky texture, yes since it's watery it's also sheer but you can see the tangerine shade on your lips, and it's perfect on top of lipsticks, especially peachy ones. It also has a nice fruity taste, not overpowering like the YSL Golden Glosses. In my opinion it's a very affordable lipgloss, and a good opportunity for those who haven't try any peachy lipgloss to try that shade, without paying lots of money.

5)Radiant Professional Lasting Lip Shine in #66

Radiant Professional cosmetics is a greek brand, not exactly a drugstore or a high end one, I would say something in between, and they have a good variety of lipgloss shades. This one was released with last year's summer collection (not sure if it's a limited edition shade), it's a peachy/orange shade with a small hint of pink, highly pigmented with golden micro shimmers. The only thing that I don't like is the taste, it smells a lot like crayons, I hope Radiant will change the taste in the future!

6)Bourjois Effet 3D Gloss in Corail Idyllic #52

A beautiful coral pink shade with silver shimmers, and medium pigmentation. It has an amazing texture, the thickness of the gloss is just perfect, not too thick nor too watery. Bourjois lipglosses are the best lipglosses I've ever tried from a drugstore or high street brand. Actually it beats lots of high end brands too! It's a limited edition shade, it was released with the Sweet Paris Spring 2012 collection, but I'm pretty sure you can still find it in the stores.

7)Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Peony

The Revlon Colorburst lipgloss packaging looks a lot like a high end lipgloss packaging. It's so pretty with a very long sponge tip applicator, like Chanel's, with a unique shade that glides on the lips nicely! Peony is a soft beige-tangerine shade with lots of golden shimmers, and with no taste at all, which is a plus.

Swatches:

from left to right: Essence Sparkling Papaya, Revlon Peony, Radiant #66, Bourjois #52, YSL Golden Peach, Lancome Cyber Coral, Mac Perennial High Style

So do you have any favorite peach and coral lipglosses for the summer? Let me know!

Summer Lipsticks: Peaches & Corals

After my post about peachy and coral blushes, I wanted to make one more about lipsticks and glosses from the same color family, which happens to be my favorite!

1) Clinique Buttershine in Poppy Love

More of a soft nude bronze beige peachy shade with gold shimmers, with amazing glossiness. Actually it's the most glossy lipstick I've ever try. It reminds me of Mac's Tendertone lip balms!

 2)Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Liberte

An orangey peach shade with subtle gold shimmers, you can go from a sheer to a more intense look.Although it looks glossy at first after a while it dries out my lips.

 3)Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Natural N36

A coral pink shade with a satin finish that feels super light on lips, the color payoff is intense but with a light hand it can look sheer. But it can be drying because of it's satin finish, so I like to use a balm under it.

 4)Mac Razzledazzler

An old fave of mine, which happens to be limited edition, like most of the Mac lipsticks that I like! It's a true cream coral peachy shade that leads to orange with a small hint of pink, non shimmery and glossy.

  
5)Mac Ever Hip

Another limited edition Mac lipstick, but I think they have repromoted quite a few times, that means it's a popular shade. A sheer coral pink with a little orange in, no shimmers and it's not as glossy as the Razzledazzler, because it's a Cremesheen while Razzledazzler is a Lustre.

6)Essence I'm Sailing

I got this Essence lipstick last summer, it was released with the 50's Girls Reloaded collection. As you can see the packaging is almost identical to a Mac lipstick. The shade is what I call true peach! No pink, more on the orange side but not too much, it doesn't have any shimmers and it's quite glossy. Too bad it was limited edition, but I got a back up since it was so cheap!

7)Dior Addict lipstick in 343 Miss Dior

A soft beige peachy shade with silver and gold shimmers, with sheer coverage,  actually too sheer to be called a lipstick, it's more of a balm lipstick but I like that texture a lot especially for  summertime!

Swatches:

from left to right: Chanel Liberte, MUFE N36, Mac Razzledazzler, Mac Ever Hip, Essence I'm Sailing, Dior 343, Clinique Poppy Love

Do you like peachy and coral lipsticks? Let me know what are your faves!

 Stay tuned for the second part with the glosses!

Favorite Summer Peachy Blushes.

Peachy blushes have always been an addiction of mine, because that color is the one that suit me the most, on my cheeks and on my lips. In this post I include some of my HG for many years now, unfortunately I had more but they are finished long time now. Mac-wise my skintone is NC25, sometimes NC20 depends on the foundation, but since the rest of my body is lighter, keep in mind that the swatches I took are on a NC20 skintone.

Let's start with my an old favorite of mine, Nars Gina, which is also my only Nars blush. Unfortunately I had to depot it because something weird happened to the packaging, the rubber just melt off and it was disgusting, so I put it in a Shu Uemura empty palette I had for years. Gina is a matte true orangey peachy shade with no red or pink in, and it's super pigmented, I always have to be careful when I apply it. I used to have Mac Peaches, and it's a good dupe of Gina. I don't recommend it for skintones lighter than NC20, also it works best with warm skintones.

Next is Shu Uemura's Glow On P Peach 47. I'm not so sure if Shu Uemura still makes this blush, but I know for sure that the packaging of their blushes have changed, I have this blush for many years, it was a gift from an old internet friend. This is a true orangey peach blush, in the same shade category with Nars Gina, also matte, but it's not as pigmented or as bright as Gina. And it's also a tone lighter. This shade of peach is the perfect one for fair skintones, because of its satin texture is very buildable you can go from a super light result to a bright one.

Here's more of a peachy coral pink option, this is from an old Stila summer collection back in 2007 and it's a duo blush called Quaint & Coral Cheek Duo. Unfortunately it was limited edition but I'm pretty sure you can find something similar, most companies make peachy pink blushes.

Quaint is the lighter one at the left and Coral is the brighter one at the right. But the swatches I took on my fingers the lower one is the Coral and the upper one is the Quaint. Both shades are shimmery, Quaint is more shimmery and since it's lighter, on my skin it appears more of a warm pink highlighter. Coral is a very pigmented peachy pink shade. I like to use Coral as a blush and Quaint as a highlighter but sometimes I mix them together.

From Mac I have 3 peachy blushes that I love, if still had Peaches I would show you that one too.

First is a Mineralize blush, it's called Nuance. It's one of the first Mineralize blushes Mac released back in the summer of 2008 with the Sonic Chic collection. And I have to say that, this bunch of Mineralize blushes had the best texture that Mac ever had in their mineralize range. So smooth and not glittery at all.

Nuance is an orangey-bronze shade of peach. Because it has golden shimmers it gives a nice sheen on my cheeks and I don't need to use a seperate highlighter with it. It looks amazing on tanned skin, but if you have a lighter skintone,you can combine it with bronzer it will make you look like you had a tropical tan. I wish Mac will re-release it someday.

Next is also a limited edition blush from Mac, from the Hello Kitty collection back in 2009. It's called Fun & Games and actually is a Beauty Powder blush. It's not one of my HG blushes because it's very sheer, but it's a great blush for lighter skintones, especially for NC15's. The shade is so pretty, for me it's a true peaches n' cream shade. The finger swatch I took is the true shade after I really packed it on. But if you use a dense brush, like the Sephora I.T. Natural Foundation brush ( that's what I use) you will be able to make it look pigmented on cheeks. Also Mac's 109 brush is a good option.

Lastly from Mac, is Springsheen, which was included in my May favorites. It's a very pretty peachy pink shade, more pink than peach though, and it's a great option for those who are afraid of peachy shades but they want to try something else besides pink. It's a Sheertone Shimmer blush, that means it contains shimmers, it leaves a nice golden sheen and you don't have to use a seperate highlighter.

And lastly for a more cheaper option, the Essence Silky Touch blush in Secret It-Girl . It's a very pretty true matte peachy blush, even though I can see some shimmers in, on my cheeks they're not visible at all. I think it's a really good dupe of Shu Uemura's P Peach 47. And it's also quite pigmented for such a cheap blush. I can't reccomend it enough, especially for those who have never tried a peachy shade and they just want to experiment with a cheaper option.

And this is an arm swatch pic I took so I can show all the shades side by side:

from left to right:  Stila Quaint & Coral Cheek duo (mixed together),  Mac Springsheen, Mac Nuance, Nars Gina, Shu Uemura P Peach 47, Mac Hello Kitty Fun & Games, Essence Secret It-Girl

Summer Wishlist

I think it was about time to make my beauty summer wishlist! It was fun making it because I love summer, and the summer shades in general such as peaches, corals and bronze. Every year I have so many lemmings with all these make up limited edition collections!

So here's my list for summer:

1. A fresh summer fragrance is always a must have, and every year I'm lemming a different one. Last year it was  Escada, but this year I may go for one of the new Body Shop's limited edition fragrances. I love Body Shop's fragrances, Vanilla is my top favorite. This year they are launching the summer versions of three of their popular fragrances , Love etc... Sun Kiss, Dreams Unlimited Sun Fresh and White Musk Sun Glow.

2. A new mascara from Mac, Extended Play Lash , that is going to be released this summer. It claims to be 16 hour smudge-free , plus it's glossy black and volumizing. Definetely a must try.

3. Summer here is super hot, so I need an oil free foundation that will also be lightweight and have a good medium coverage and until now I haven't found one. When I saw that Clinique will release the Stay Matte Oil Free Make-Up, I knew it was going to be in my wishlist for summer. Can't wait to try it!

4. Mac's summer collection will be called Hey Sailor, with a limited edition packaging as they always do every year. I'm not lemming much from the collection but a peachy blush is a weakness of mine, it's called Launch Away!

5. Also from Mac's Hey Sailor collection, Jaunty eyeshadow, a light yellow beige. I'm sure it will look amazing all over the lids with some brown eye pencil and mascara.

6. Neon nail polishes!!! Awww how I love neons on my nails at summertime, and China Glaze is going to release a brand new collection with them. Last year I got Flip Flop Fantasy and I have to say that it's the best neon shade I've ever tried. From this year's collection I'm lemming Beach Cruiser (purple), Pink Plumeria (pink) and Flirty Tankini (peachy coral).

7. Even though I already have 2 bronzer brushes, I've always wanted a brush with the exact same rounded shape that Mac 167SH has. This brush is going to be relased with Mac's Hey Sailor collection this summer.

8. Bronzers bronzers bronzers! I can never have to many bronzers, I just love them all year round.  For a few years I'm lemming this Dior Matte Sunshine bronzer and this year I'm gonna to get it for sure!

9. Dior Vernis in Bikini. A very pretty, true peach cream nail polish from Dior's Croisette collection for this summer. I've never tried any Dior nail polishes, but I really wanna start with this one.

10. I love soft pink glosses for summer days and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Pink Croisette 464 looks exactly like the one I'm looking for.

11. Lastly from the same Croisette collection, the Dior Addict lipstick in Palace 354. In my opinion the Dior Addict lipsticks are one of the best high end lipsticks, along with YSL. I love their balm texture, you don't need lipgloss with those. The Palace 354 looks like a soft warm pink, perfect when you have a tan!

What are your lemmings for this summer?

And just a song from Late Night Alumni to put you in a summer mood!! It always reminds me of summer!

NOTD: Korres Pomegranate

I wanted to bring summer into my world today since it was a sunny day, I decided to paint my nails with a really pretty flamingo pink color, Korres Pomegranate. It has a creme finish and the color is vibrant enough, especially under the sunlight, without being neon.
