Maybelline Baby Lips: Winter Delight review

If you have read my blog before you may know that I have a little obsession with Maybelline Baby Lips. Whenever I see a new edition I haven't tried, I can't resist not testing at least one product from it. This time when I was in the makeup store I saw this festive one. The collection has 4 shades: 'Sweet Apple', 'Sugar Cookie', 'Mint Candy' and 'Hot Cocoa'. Each of it associates with Christmas. I decided to pick 'Mint Candy' because other shades look the same as an old edition which I own. Though I haven't tried this one out.
The package basically looks like other Baby Lips except it has some winter essentials like mittens and ear muffs on it. I think it looks kind of cute and festive.
Baby Lips lip balm is essential for winter. It hydrates your lips, makes them smooth and soft. The formula of a lip balm is light so it feels nice on the lips. What I love about it is that it is not a regular lip balm. It actually has a color. This shade has a mild pink tone. The lip balm also has an amazing mint scent, though it doesn't have a cooling effect like Baby Lips Dr. Rescue edition. So if you are not a fan of menthol ingredient, I recommend you to choose this lip balm. 
These lip balms will surely heal your lips and you will get rid off cracked lips. Though you have to use it in moderation because your lips can become resistant and Baby Lips won't work.
If you are not a lipstick person, this product is ideal for you. Don't miss out on this limited edition!
Let me know which ones have you tried and which are your  favorite ones.

The Perfect Statement Necklace

A few weeks ago I received this gorgeous statement necklace from Happiness Boutique. It is an online store based in Germany. They specialize in jewellery, clothing and accessories. I adore the style of their products which are classical with a bit of a vintage touch. 

When I opened the package it cheered me up right away. Inside the white box with a store logo, there was this necklace, a postcard with balloons and another card with a quote by Bernard Meltzer "Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it." Everything seems taken care of to please the buyer. This would definitely make a great gift!

Clusters of rhinestone flowers create this dainty statement necklace. It has a convenient clasp so you don't have to worry about spending time fastening your necklace. The necklace is made to be close to your neck. It looks chic and sparkly. Perfect accent to spice up your outfit for a fancy night out. Though you can also wear it in casual style.

I paired my necklace with this autumnal patterned blouse from H&M and blue boyfriend style jeans from Mango. I choose this outfit when I want to be comfortable but still look chic. It is casual, but the necklace makes it more dressy. My burgundy lipstick finishes this autumn look.

Happiness Boutique offers great prices. You can buy a statement necklace from 13€ to 30€. I believe that these prices are very reasonable taking into consideration the quality of their products. In addition to this, you get free shipping wherever in the world you are. Isn't this awesome?

Moreover, Happiness Boutique has a reward program. You have an opportunity to collect points for doing tasks such as sharing photos or reviewing your purchased products. Later, you can trade these points into free gifts.

Well, Happiness Boutique really knows how to spread happiness!

Dorm Essentials: Make home away from home with Parachute bedding

Sometimes moving away from home can be hard. Though even few details in new college dorm room can cheer you up and make you feel better. Need some inspiration to get started? Always here to help!

The first thing you have to get is bedding. How you will survive college year without good sleep? You can cover an uncomfortable college mattress with nice new bedding.

Parachute bedding offers you the best quality at an accessible price. All products are designed in LA, but made in Italy. Finest Egyptian cotton brings you the greatest comfort. I believe that this kind of bedding can be an investment for at least four years. 

Parachute products are simple, but chic. They concentrate in minimalist design which looks great in every room. Bedding is made from soft and lightweight fabric which has matte look. You can choose any colour you want from white to navy. 

Next essential that I can't imagine my home without is a blanket. When it gets cold it is a lifesaver. You can snuggle in it and keep yourself warm. When the blanket is not needed you can throw it on your bed and it looks like decor accent. Parachute has perfect cashmere blankets waiting for you!

Other thing I like to have in my room is a scented candle. Usually I have a lot of them. They create a cozy atmosphere that creates the feeling that you are at home. Parachute also has few candles to offer. They are made from natural soy wax and burns out slowly.

This company really offers the best you can get. In addition to this, Parachute is cooperating with Nothing But Nets and for every Venice bedding set you buy they will donate a life-saving malaria to this net. I think these intentions are very kind.

What are your dorm room essentials?

Hello Autumn! || OOTD

I am not a fan of autumn when it's cold and rainy. Though I don't mind this season when the weather is a bit chilly and you can wear cozy and comfy clothes to keep you warm. For this outfit I chose a casual look with some accents.

I'm wearing top with slits on the side, leather jacket, jeans and sneakers. I have this black leather jacket maybe for three years now and I just can't let go of it. You can basically style it with anything. Always when autumn comes I know that it is time to wear my leather jacket! As usual I like to wear boyfriend style jeans. I can freely move and feel comfortable in them. White Converse sneakers also goes with everything and looks great in every outfit. 

To finish the look, I took some accessories to spice up my outfit. I'm wearing this copper necklace and watch. Recently I became obsessed with copper colour jewelry. This colour looks chic but not too fancy. I guess that is why I like it so much.

Hope I helped you get inspired!

I want to know what you like to wear when autumn comes? Tell me in the comments.

*Top - Bershka

Back To School

I think for most of you the school year has already started. Speaking personally, I started going to school from September 1st. As always after a holiday I feel depressed that I have to go back there. I mean it is fun to meet all of your friends but coming back to lessons sometimes is a bit stressful for me. The beginning is always the hardest. However, after within one or two weeks I get used to the routine and just do the best I can at school. 

At least one thing when you start school is fun. It is going shopping for clothes, backpacks and all new utility things. Everyone wants to renew their wardrobes and show up to school like brand new:)

For me it is also exciting to go shop for notebooks, pens and etc.. Especially I like searching for notebooks with beautiful covers. Basically sometimes I make a mess in a store because I want to find a nice cover. When I have an inspirational notebook it helps me to study and not to give up. This year most of what I picked was with different cities. That's my way of motivation when I want to travel a lot. 

This season I also picked up a new backpack! I actually was very excited about this one. I found a perfect Converse backpack for school. It is in this gorgeous silver/champagne colour. Material of it is leather. Backpack is not too big and not too small. Inside it has interior organizer pocket which is great for keeping important things organised. Backpack looks sporty but chic! You can buy it here.

How are you coping with coming back to school? What have you bought?

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Review

When I was in Greece I picked up these two little babies. I thought that it's time to get ready for fall and winter. And these are lifesavers during chilly seasons. Basically if you don't know what Baby Lips are I can say that they are by far the best lip balms with colour. They also are known as great moisturizers. I've tried regular Baby Lips, but I've never tried this edition. I love that the packaging of the product it looks so simple and minimalistic but very cute. 

In the market there are 6 shades of this product. I picked up two shades called: TOO COOL and PINK ME UP. The first one is clear it doesn't have any colour, but the second one is in this baby pink colour which looks gorgeous on the lips! You can choose whatever colour is suitable for you. Also Baby Lips colours are not too bright they are perfect for everyday use. If you are a person who doesn't like bright lipsticks this product is definitely for you.

What I love the most about these lip balms is that they contains menthol which gives this cooling effect and feels amazing on the lips. This ingredient also cures lips, makes them smooth and moisturized. They also have this yummy eucalyptus scent which reminds me of winter. 

I can say that this formula is better for me than the regular one. I guess it is because I am a fan of menthol. So if you like menthol and eucalyptus as mush as me, this product will make you happy for sure!

Maybelline promises you that: 

In 1 day, lips look more smooth.

In 1 week, lips are renewed

In 1 minute, lips feel soothed.

Have you ever tried these lip balms? What colours you like?

L'Oréal False Lash Superstar Mascara Review

I have never tried mascara like this before. It is a double-ended tube with two brushes which help you to create false eye lashes look. It actually makes them super long and lengthens. Mascara contains 5ml of product and it is in a shade noir/black.At first I thought that on side is for top lashes ant the other is for bottom ones. But it turns out that the the end marked as number 1 is a first layer for lashes. It gives them a maximum volume. What surprised me that the colour of the product is white. The second layer 2 is a black mascara with a curved brush. This one gives length. You simply need to apply it to your lashes to cover white layer. It also gives this push - up effect. Although mascara is not waterproof after all day it doesn't leave black circles under eyes. Wearing it on a hot day also won't cause you any problems because it doesn't run down. Mascara doesn't leave any clumps and feels light on the eyes. 
Have you tried this mascara?

Back in time: Athens

 The city of Athens is a majestic place. It is a capital of Greece and is known as one of the oldest cities in the world. Here was the earliest human presence around 11th-7th millennium BC. Classical Athens was a center for the arts, architecture, learning and philosophy. Also democracy was found here. 

We stayed there in an apartment which is located in the city center near Ermou street. Ermou is a half kilometer shopping street. Here you can find brands which are local and popular in Europe. We did a little shopping too. I bought clothes and cosmetics at Stradivarius, H&M, Bershka and Sephora. 

However the city left a bigger impression. We climbed into the hill to see Acropolis. On the top of the hill we were amazed by beautiful panoramic view of Athens. This place has three main objects. Its Parthenon, old temple of Athena and Erechtheum. All these monuments are legacy of old civilization. It's unbelievable how these ancient building survived all these years! It is really a magnificent place which you must see once in a lifetime.

When we came down the hill we saw ancient Agora. It was also a city. Except it was for lower rank people at that time, They also had a temple which in my opinion was in the best condition of all old buildings. 

Even though it was very hot we tried to stay hydrated and enjoyed our walk at historical place.

Have you ever been to Athens?

The one and only Delphi

 When we were on our way to Athens, we stopped to see Delphi.

The archaeological site of Delphi is included in UNESCO World Heritage List. This place is a Panhellic sanctuary with an international fame. Its remnants represent some events of art and architecture. The sanctuary is really unique and special. This place has both natural and historical environment. It is also related to a lot of event and Greek history that have an impact on the progress of civilization. This whole temple town is located in the mountains looks incredibly amazing! While climbing you can look at ancient legacy and admire views. The sanctuary is really authentic and worth your attention.

*T-shirt - Bershka

*Shorts - H&M

*Sneakers - Converse
