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.

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.

Hiking up Mount Olympus


 During holidays we like to stay active. Today we tried hiking up Mount Olympus. It is the highest mountain in Greece. Our climb started from the town of Litochoro. We took medium difficulty track. In my opinion this hike is a bit too hard for amateurs. To complete this track you must have hiking equipment or at least be fit. Path goes up and down and continues for 9 kilometers. Highest point of the track that you can reach is 1.1 kilometer. There are some rest areas to take breath. While climbing you can enjoy beautiful views. I just really love being in the Mountains. Breathing that air feels different and special. So we passed half of the track and decided it is enough for us. Going down was way easier than going up. After all we didn't feel very tired except feet were a bit hurting. 
All in all, hiking is fun and a great way to loose some weight.

Meteora monasteries, Greece


At the moment I'm on a holiday with my family in Greece. We live in a beach village Velika which is located on North of Greece, in Larissa regional unit. Our aim is to relax by the beach and go sightseeing.
Today we went to see Meteora monasteries. It is one of the biggest and most important monasteries in Greece. They were built on natural sandstone rock pillars. There are six monasteries located in this area. It is also included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. I  just have no words to describe this beautiful place. Everything is surrounded by mountains and looks majestic. We climbed stairs on the top of The Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron - This is the largest of the monasteries located at Meteora. I wore quite sporty clothes: pink Puma shorts, white blouse and Nike sneakers. However I was not allowed to enter monastery with shorts. But it was a common thing to tourists, so they had prepared skirts. I took a polka dot one. Inside the monastery it looks so peaceful. I mean it is a perfect place for friars. Even being there I felt alive like never before. The view was so inspiring. This area is really worth visiting if you are around.
After we decided to visit port city Volos. We expected to see beautiful old town or something like that. However we were disappointed. There were no people and nothing to see . We walked along the coast for an hour and enjoyed sea air.
