2012 Favorites : Nail polishes, base coats, top coats etc.

/ 10 comments

Hey my beautiful nail polish lovers! Moving on with my 2012 favorites posts this one today will be all about my favorite nail polishes of 2012. I have many gorgeous nail polishes to show you, so let’s take a look! ;) I’m gonna do a post with swatches of all of my Essence nail polishes soon, so that you can see what they look like. Yes, you got it right, you’ll see many Essence nail polishes in this post lol, so let’s get going!


 Revlon Facets of Fuchsia : I had been watching youtubers and bloggers raving about it for so long that I had to have it. Now that I have it I can understand why all this rave, it’s a beautiful black base nail polish with lots of fuchsia glitter particles. Apply it over a black nail polish for instant results! ;)

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat : I finally got it, I’m so late! I’ve only used it on my toes so far and it works great. My nail polish looks really shiny, it dries fast and it lasts for days. The drying fast factor is crucial, as it’s cold now and I can’t stand being without socks for ever waiting for my nail polish to dry, so the Seche Vite top coat has saved me!

Essence Colour & Go in 78 Blue Addicted : This gorgeous blue/teal/purple color has been discontinued unfortunately and I’ll be really sad when it’s gone.

Essence Nude Glam in 04 Iced Latte : I’m not a nude nail person in general, but I like this nude nail polish a lot! It doesn’t make me look dead or sick and it doesn’t make my nails look dirty. It’s a beautiful milky pink-beige

Essence Colour & Go in 76 Hard to Resist: Another discontinued nail polish… WHY Essence? Why? This is one of my favorite nail polishes ever and it looks amazing, especially under the sun. I’ve also heard that it’s a great dupe for Deborah Lippman’s Across the Universe. Please bring it back, I adore this nail polish!

Erre Due Exclusive in Nr. 1 : This came free with a magazine last year and I combined it with a silver star sticker, it looked like the sky at night. A lady even complimented my pedicure when I wore this! ;)



 Seche Vite Crystal Clear Base Coat : I got this by accident lol! I was on ebay, trying to buy the top coat, and I bought this thinking it was the top coat. I hadn’t noticed that it said base coat. Anyway, I asked on a group what they thought of this base coat and several girls said that it was a good product, so I decided to keep it and I’m glad I did! It is indeed a good product, it keeps my nails from turning yellow.

Essence Colour & Go in 126 Date in the Moonlight: This is a gorgeous dark petrol blue with blue shimmer and it looks beautiful, especially under the sun!

Essence Gel Look Topcoat : This top coat makes my nail polish so shiny and it indeed makes my nails look like gel nails!! Definitely get it if you love shiny, gel-like nails!

Essence Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 in 01 Jacob’s Protection : I had a huge obsession with blue nail polishes in 2012, hadn’t I? lol Well, this nail polish is no exception, as it’s a gorgeous dark blue with blue shimmer and sometimes, depending on how the light hits it, it looks purple too!

Essence Nail Colour 3 in Midnight Date : I love all 6 nail polishes of this range, but the blue one is my favorite. The regular side is almost identical to the discontinued Colour & Go in 76 Hard to Resist that I mentioned above and the other side is a gorgeous flaky nail polish. It has a blue-purple base and green flakies! Definitely get it!

Sephora Express Nail Polish Remover : I don’t paint my fingernails often, but when I do this little thing totally saves me with nail polish removal. It’s so quick and easy! You just stick your finger in, rub it against the foamy material that’s inside and that’s it, your nail polish is gone!! Please Sephora make one for toes as well!



Have you tried any of these beautiful nail polishes? What were your favorite nail polishes for 2012? I’m always open to suggestions and I love trying out new things, although I own too many nail polishes lol!





2012 Favorites : Makeup

/ 14 comments

Hey my loves! Moving on with my 2012 favorites posts this one today will be all about my favorite makeup products of 2012. I don’t think I have anything too exciting to show you, but I’ve used and loved these items a lot. If I've reviewed/swatched any of the products I will put a link to the review/swatch post to each one (I'm so behind with reviews, damn..). Let’s take a look! ;)






Elf Studio Cream Blush in Tease : it’s a lovely neutral peachy color that goes almost with everything. I’ve paired it with smokey eyes, neutral eyes, red lips, berry lips, it’s just the perfect “nude” color for me and I love the consistency of it.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer : I won this eyeshadow primer in a giveaway quite a while ago, but I hadn’t opened it. I opened it around November I think and I’ve been loving it ever since. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer, but when I need my eye makeup to last a long time I’m using the TFSI!

Elf Studio Cream Eyeshadow in Dawn : I didn’t do a yearly favorites post for 2011, but if I had done one this product would definitely be in it. It’s a lovely neutral, everyday color that lasts a long time on my super oily eyelids with a primer underneath and you don’t need to set it with a powder eyeshadow, so it’s extremely quick and easy. Love it!!!

Elf Studio Cream Blush in Temptress : Yeah this looks brown, I know lol! I don’t use it as a blush obviously, it’s too.. brown. I use it to contour my cheeks and it works great without looking obvious, plus it’s almost foolproof since it’s a cream product.

Sally Hansen Cornsilk Matte Shine Control Powder in No Color : I think this product has been discontinued or replaced with another product, but I’ve had it for a long time and hadn’t used it at all. It’s a really nice powder that doesn’t contain any color, so it doesn’t alter the color of my foundation.

Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On in Fair/Light : I didn’t think that I would like this product so much when I bought it, but I do! My under eye circles are not very dark/intense, so that’s all I need to cover them and brighten the area, plus the metallic roller ball feels so nice and refreshing!

L’Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara in Black : I won this in a giveaway and up to that point I loved big, fat mascara wands. Well, that has changed with this mascara. It has a very thin plastic wand with very short bristles and it grabs every single lash making my lashes look like fake. I’m obsessed with this mascara! It holds my curl as well, awesome!!

Essence Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black : I suck at liquid eyeliner, I admit it. I try to draw a line and it looks like a picture from a cardiograph! With this liquid eyeliner though I have quite a lot of control and the sponge tip applicator is quite flexible and soft, so it doesn’t hurt my eyes. Definitely try it!

Elf Mechanical EyelashCurler : If you’re afraid of eyelash curlers, then give this a go. I used to be terrified of eyelash curlers, but after trying this I can’t put mascara on without using it first. It’s the only eyelash curlers that I use. They have a really sturdy grip, so that you won’t risk pinching your eyeball, and they’re so affordable!

Elf Eyebrow Kit in Dark : I’ve been using this on my eyebrows for 2 years now and I’ve barely made a dent in it. With this kit you can make your eyebrows look natural or dramatic, you can do whatever you want. Plus it’s so affordable and the packaging is really cute and convenient!

NYX Concealer in a Jar in Beige : Along with the Artdeco Camouflage Cream, this is my favorite concealer for blemishes. It lasts for hours on my oily skin, even when I don’t set it with powder, and it provides good coverage.

Lovie Lipstick in Nr. 60: I love this lipstick, especially when combined with taupe eye makeup. It’s so pretty! And affordable too!

2012 Favorites : Skincare/Haircare/Bodycare

/ 8 comments

Hey my loves! I know that many girls have done the Top 12 for 2012 post, but I couldn’t just pick 12 items, as I discovered a lot of favorite products in 2012. Instead I’m gonna do 3-4 separate posts, so that I won't make a super long one, and this one today will be all about my favorite products of 2012 for skincare, haircare and bodycare. If I've reviewed any of the products I will put a link to the review to each one. Let’s take a look! ;)






Palmolive Aromatherapy Absolute Relax Shower Gel : this has to be one of my favorite shower gels ever and in 2012 I used it a lot! I’m still using it and loving it. It has a lovely, sensual scent and I’m gonna be buying it for ever.

Bioten Firming Body Lotion : lightweight, absorbs easily and quickly into the skin, doesn’t leave the skin greasy or sticky, lovely scent, affordable. What more can you ask? This is perfect for summer when the weather is hot and you need a body lotion that has the properties mentioned above!

Priorities ButtermilkCream Bath in Sweet Yogurt : it smells divine and it has a rich, creamy, luxurious texture. I love it and I’m so glad that I found it on sale and bought it!

Froika Extra MildShampoo : no parabens, no sles, leaves my hair soft and it doesn’t go greasy so quickly. Plus it’s from a Greek company! I’ve re-purchased it twice so far and I’m about to re-purchase it for the 3rd time.

Apivita Propoline Shampoo for frequent use with Chamomile & Honey : this also doesn’t contain sles, parabens and a lot of other nasty things, but I find that it’s not as mild as the Froika one, so I use it after the swimming pool and it works great! I’ve re-purchased it twice so far and I’m about to re-purchase it for the 3rd time.

Exesio Hair Mask and Shampoo : this product really helped me reduce oiliness and itchiness and thanks to that I’m able to wash my hair every other day! It’s a treatment that you do for at least 6 months.

Apivita Face Scrub with Olive : I thought that nothing could leave my skin softer than sugar & lemon (DIY), so I had stopped buying scrubs from stores and I made my own, but I guess was wrong. This scrub leaves my skin super soft and it’s refreshing as well. Love it!

Apivita Natural Serum Hydration : I have oily and dehydrated skin, so I need moisture, but it has to be in a lightweight formula, and this product is just perfect for that plus I love the smell and the fact that it contains 98% natural ingredients.

Korres Organic Jojoba Oil : You need jojoba oil in your life, especially if you have oily skin. It’s thin and lightweight, yet it hydrates nicely, and it absorbs into the skin easily and quickly. If you’re gonna use it on your face make sure to buy an organic one. I bought it after watching Pinksofoxy’s videos on youtube, she has been inspiring me to invest in more natural products, especially for my face.

Bioten CellufightExfoliating Shower Cream : (it’s in another packaging) I’ve been using this since the summer mostly before shaving and along with a few other things it has helped me diminish ingrown hairs (yikes, I hate those!).

Harnn White Jasmine Rice Soap : I bought this thinking that I wasn’t sure if it would suit my skin, but it did. Although it’s a soap it creates a lovely, creamy foam and it cleanses the skin very well without drying it out. I love it so much that I’m gonna get one for my boyfriend as well next time I’m at Kolonaki, as he has oily skin too.

Sante Crystal Deodorant : This magical product keeps me fresh and odorless for 24hrs, which is amazing! Can’t live without it anymore! I bought it during the summer, I started using it at the beginning of September and it almost looks full.
