Loose & casual | Outfits

Aug292017

Last week I was in a vary casual mood and didn’t want to restrict myself with anything even remotely tight, so I wore my new loose culottes with my palm tree off the shoulder top and a pair of flat sandals to go out for drinks. To be honest, even though it looked much better in person than it did in these photos I wasn’t feeling much myself in that outfit. I think I need to shorten these culottes a bit, but everyone tells me not to, and I’m torn. I think their height needs to be above my ankles for them to compliment me in a better way, because it’s such a loose pair that it’s easy to make me look even shorter and wider than I actually am; something that I definitely wouldn’t like. So what do you think? Should I shorten them a bit? Or not? Let me know, and help me make a decision.

Wycon Cosmetics Lift Effect foundation review

Aug242017

Promised you I’ll be back with new reviews, and here’s another one. I’ve been using Wycon Cosmetics’ Lift Effect Foundation for a few months now and it’s time to share my opinion about it. It’s a really nice foundation, not too matte, not too dewy, that has SPF15 and it looks very natural on the skin. I went with shade 02 (Beige) which turned out to be darker than I’d like it to be, so that made it difficult for me to wear everyday, but I did wear it plenty of times. It has a nice consistency, not too thick not too thin, which makes it easy to apply it either with a brush or a makeup sponge and it stays put for hours. If I had chosen the proper shade for me I would have worn it much more, so I’m sad that I didn’t. Compared to all the other foundations I’ve tried so far I’d give it an 8/10 because I do like it, but I don’t love it. So my search for the best foundation for my skin continues.

The striped off the shoulder dress | Outfits

Aug222017

Can’t believe that summer is almost coming to an end and I have only worn just a fraction of my summer clothes. I hope I’ll get the chance to wear more of them till summer is officially over…hopefully around October in Greece. A few days ago, I wore this striped off the shoulder dress for a walk, and I absolutely had to pair it with my brown lace up sandals. I didn’t wear any accessories, apart from a long necklace in gold shade, and a large pair of sunglasses with yellow/red mirror. This dress is really lightweight, but a bit see-through too. It was sent to me last year, in one of my collaborations but I didn’t get to wear it because it was already fall. Nothing a white pair of shorts underneath the dress can’t solve though! I think it looks really good. Love its ruffles! I’d be wearing it a lot more in the following weeks. Hope you like it!

Maybelline Masterblush color and highlighting kit | Review

Aug172017

It’s been a long time since I received this palette from Maybelline, and the truth is that I’m a little behind on my reviews here on the blog. I do review them on my Youtube channel, but I really want to also write posts for them here. So I’ll try to post reviews more often from now on. When I received the MasterBlush Color & highlighting kit, I wasn’t sure I was gonna use it much, but I ended up using it non-stop in the months that followed and I really loved it. The palette includes 3 shades of blushes and one highlighter. The blushes start from the lightest and go to the darkest. We have a peach one, a light pink one and a magenta one. You can use them all individually or you can combine them to create a more intense look. I use them all-together most of the time and do the “draping” technique where you contour and highlight your face using just blushes and a highlighter. The palette is also very practical and that’s why I also took it with me on my trip to The Netherlands. The blushes are quite pigmented, so you have to be careful about how much product you use. The highlighter is quite subtle and natural though, and that’s why I reach for it, even on days when I’m not using the blushes of the palette.

Roses are red | Outfits

Aug102017

Roses are red…and my highlights are still purple (well, sort of). If you have missed this temporary hair change, then click here to watch the video. Can you tell I was super excited with my new hair color? We took these photos just after the sun went down, so they’re not well-lit, but I liked my outfit of the day, so here they are! I’m finally wearing my new H&M super short dress with the rose print. I really love it and its skater style, but I’d love it if it was 5-10cm longer. It’s a lot on the shorter side, so it definitely can’t be worn without wearing shorts underneath. I paired it with my red quilted bag, to match the roses on the print, and my Migato platform sandals to make it more summer and less matchy matchy. What do you think?
I also have a little announcement for you. It’s the 15th of August on Tuesday, and since it’s a major holiday in Greece, I won’t be posting anything new on that day. And I’m also taking some time off outfit posts, to relax a bit, and enjoy the sun and the sea. So I’ll be back with new outfits, the week after the next one. Don’t worry though; I won’t leave you without a post for a whole week. Make sure to check back the blog next Thursday for a brand new post! 😉 Have a great weekend!
