Hello everyone.
It's Autumn now finally, the leaves are getting colourful, it's colder and the sun goes down earlier. For me Autumn is a wonderful time of the year as you can pretty much do a lot in the fashion and beauty apartment. One of my biggest minuses is that I am relatively uncreative with my hair and I decided that I want to change that. So I was looking for some hair styles for fall that are easy to do and quick or look amazing. Also I was looking for a lot of wavy stuff and platted as I thing that are fitting hair styles for autumn. It just goes really well with the season where as in winter I would rather wear big, big curls and beach hair in summer and so on.




I found this video on you tube and of many others I find these especially good to do in the school week and very simple yet good looking and casually chic/ cool. The Video is made by Kalyn Nicholson and you will find her account here. I highly recommend you having a look.

I then hopped on tumblr and found a couple of pics I think are very nice and I will try to do as well:

 This on looks really nice, not boring. You will need to french plait your hair on the top and put it in a need top knot and done. It'll look very interesting and playful. I really like it.
So this on is obviously a fashion show hair style but doesn't mean we won't be able to pull off a similar on. I would just plait my hair on my neck section the french way and then plait it normally but in a messy way for three quarters and then just leave it. It'll look used, out of bed and messy which makes the look look cool and legere, like you don't care but do in a way.
 This Hair style I think just looks so chic and amazing. You french plait you hair on one side and then have a messy knot in the back of your had. Even if the knot is messy the look isn't because of the plaiting which makes it look really girly and lovely.

 On the left we also have two nail polishes. The left one is number 99G which is a dark glittery shiny brown and the right on is number 96T which is a matte light brown. These two combined will look lovely.
As for the eyeliner it's the "Super Liner" Perfect Slim intense Black from L'Oréal and I will have to do some testing before I can say anything about it. But I am excited to try a new product for starters.

 Then I also bought another eyeshadow trio also from Bloggers Choice, number 3 "Downtown To Earth" and I must say it smells not as chemical, quite lovely actually and I love the rosé/ brown combination.
Then we have the Lip Lacquer 40 S "Don't Be Shy" which is nuder and more of a plum colour than the red one from my last haul. But it seems to be just as good and colour intense as the other one.

 In the left photo here is a hand balsam because I always have the feeling to hydrate my hands lately. It has cotton and white magnolia in it and smells very fresh, clean and light and pure. Exactly what I wanted. It's from a brand I've never heard off : "Al Do Vandini" but it's great!
And the concealer I am using is from Maybelline NY number 10 from the fit me collection. I bought it together with my foundation and powder because they logically go really well together and I am well satisfied with it so far.

Okay I really just wanted to show you my haul, not to show off but to talk about it a bit and I hope you liked it.

Have a good day :)

Hello everyone,

as I said  I wanted to do a little series about going back to school and as it's still not even a month ago since some of us started to go back I thought  I can squeeze in the last part.
Which would be Make- up.
So this is a topic as a lot of girls in my school only wear mascara or an eyeliner and no actual eyeshadow, blusher or anything really.. Not me I am afraid. I like to put attention on my eyes and lips and therefore I will show you my 3 most liked and used school make-ups and I hope you like them. For me they are all doable in under 10 minutes, not too much so still elegant but not boring and just mascara.




First Look is a very easy and simple one yet powerful. An eyeliner slim eyeliner from Maybelline and as a base I used a matte brown from Manhattan which they have in their regular sortiment but I don't have the name right now.
I put a lot of attention on my lips using the new Manhattan lip lacquer number 10 C Roaring Red and as you can see it it's a really bright colouring and it's soft on the lips though it's a lacquer. It's stays on there for a couple of hours which is pretty impressive. But you leave your marks on your cups ;).



Last and third Look is a rather romantic one. I used this years autumn pallet 2 Precious China from Manhattans Bloggers Choice and used the very left light grey eyeshadow over the whole eyelid. It a bit glittery as well but very light. Then I went to the very right eyeshadow which is a heave wine red and blend it in my eye corner. If you wouldn't blend it would be a bit much but as you blend the intensity of the colour goes and it adjusts itself to the grey, making it look atumny and a bit ombré.
I really like this in this season because of the red it gets the look of an old rosé tone and makes the look come across as antic which is magical I think.
On my lips now I used the new berry lip lacquer from Manhattan and same here it stays on for 6 hours and the colour is more intense then it look like plus you either look like a red, red, red strawberry or a very dark glowing/ shining him berry at night or blueberry, either way.
This look, if blended very well can look so innocent and discreet, anybody can wear it and you are just good to go in the fall, not having too much on your eye.


All right, What do you think. And how do you wear your make up during school?

I hope you enjoyed reading, I had a lot of fun taking the photos!

Have a lovely day and

Good morning lovelies,

I don't know if it's just me but taken a normal working week, how many days do you actually sleep in or wake up at your normal time? Well with me this school year it's very complicated. I slept in all 5 days of last week. I hit the goal. But and here it comes I made it every single day right on time still looking normal and passable.

Over the time I have invented a little "emergency make up routine" for times like this.
And this I want to show you today. I hope you enjoy.
All right this has been it. It's really simple and you can redo it with any kind of make up, foundation and brand you use and like. Plus I think I look fresh and awake with almost no spots and still have a contoured face and an eye- catcher that will lead attention to something much more exciting than baggy eyes.
It's really just all you need.

Okay everyone, if you like, tell me how you do your make up if you sleep in. Always need tips on it!

Have a lovely day

Hello Lovelies,

last week I needed something for school so I went to the drugstore next to my school. Yeaa I bought the big piece of paper
And this:

First of I sorted out some Manhattan nail polish for autumn. The kaki green one on the top left is new and from the "Bloggers choice" edition. I haven't tried it but knowing Manhattan well by now, I believe it's wonderful. It also has little sparkly- glitter dots in it.
Second one is the copper nail polish from the "Golden Goddess"
Collection which I am wearing this week and I already have gotten so many comments for it- amazing.
Then I have an all time autumn must have, a dark red colour I believe is a must have on your nails and it also looks really elegant. Whener I see someone wearing a colour I want it on my nails right away as well. The fourth one is a purple nail polish and I think it goes really well with something black or kaki, I cannot tell you the name but it look kind of magnetic and. Second row on the left is the purple nail polish from the "Bloggers Choise" Collection which is darker and not as sparkly as the one before but still beautiful. It looks more mysterious for sure. And last but not least a black nail polish and I am so excited to wear it because I haven't had black on my nails for like 6 months!

Now to the haul:

 I pretty much bought the whole Bloogers Choice collection in my colours. We have here the palette with a nice light creamy colour, a kaki and a wine red. All the autumn colours and shades that are on this season. This is the trio eyeshadow palette 2 "My Precious China"I wore it last weekend and its all matte and easy to put on and looks wonderful in the result. I am really satisfied.
For my lips I bought the matte lipstick number 1 "Fire Escape" and it's also really thick in consistence and bright in colour and it smells like something wonderful and sweet. I had it on my lips like all week long and it is definitely my favorite this month! I also thought to myself, if the lipstick is this wonderful, the lipgloss cannot be wrong either. So I took it with me. It actually is a lip lacquer which explains why it is so thick. It's also really bright and the same colour as the lipstick but just glossier in the finish of course. And it stays on really long. It is number 10 C "Roaring Red"
All I can say to this collection is that is a great one. One of the best collection in some time for me. I really love it.
You can find the items here







Then I popped by Catrice as well of course and the had their stash reduced for 50% :)
I bought the metallic green/ blue one which has some purple sparkles in it as well depends on the light. It looks really nice and is number 55 "Get The Blues".
Then also I took the Luxury Lacquer 05 Million Brilliance "Plum Fiction" with me which is a sparkle story in a nice bright plum colouring. Something different and the fingers might be looking like diamonds which is really fancy and exciting I think.
And last one from my make- haul is from the autumn collection a matte eyeshadow in kaki again. It's number  060 "Moss Wanted Colour"  (It must be a very creative person who thinks of all those funny and weird puns and names..but whoever this person is he or she shall keep going I think I quite like it) For a matte eyeshadow it's really intense like you won't need as much on your eyes and still have a good effect and it's really soft and light- Well it is a velvet matte which explains a lot. I am really excited to try it out today w00t w00t.
You can find the Catrice item here.

Okay my little and wonderful beauty and make-up obsessed readers, I hope you had fun reading!

Hello Everyone! Today I have a post for all the nail polish obsessed girls and women out there like me. It's my Taggy Tuesday and I am doing the Nail Polish Obsession Tag. I hope you enjoy! :) 

Questions:
1. What's your favorite nail polish company? 
Artdeco. always in trend, the nail polishes are easy to put on and stay so long. They have beautiful colours and shades in every possible way I simply love them. Also they don't dry out which is a huge plus. 

2. Glitter or no glitter? 
Oh right now I am on the glitter train. As an addict I wouldn't want to decide but in general I'd say no glitter, always fashionable and elegant. 

3. OPI, China Glaze, or Essie? 
Do I have to chose one? I'd say OPI but I also love Essie. 4. When do you change your nail polish? 

Whenever I get the chance. I always want to do my nails 27/7 but atm while I have so much school to do I can only do them once or twice (if it's a relatively stress free week), unfortunately. 

5. What's your favorite color on your nails?
I like all the dark kind of berry colours as they go wonderfully with my kind of olive skin tone. But I also love my bright royal blue nail polish. 

6. Darks or Brights? 
Darks! Brights look awful on me, well not awful but they don't have or show the wanted effect :) 

7. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment? 
Right now I am wearing a white nail polish from Manhattan and as a top coat I have pink glitter on it. And I gotta say I feel a bit very fancy today :) 




8. Matte Nails--In or Out? 
In, I always like it when they look different to others and in my town here there aren't many people who wear nail polish in the first place and I rarely see people who wear theirs matte. 

9. French Manicure? 
Going on, if people in my town have their nails done somehow, 90% of them have french manicure and as I say it looks just so pretty I dislike it because of the after. The money I think isn't worth it either, much too pricy especially when I can do them the way I want to myself.

10. Favorite Winter Color? Black Cherry! Such a fitting, extravagant opposite to white snow. It makes it look to beautiful like snow-whites red lips on her white almost pale face, so it's all you have to look at. 

These are all the question with my answers, I hope you liked it. I tag everyone and anyone who wants to answer these questions as well, if you do let me know! Have a lovely day my beauties.
