Coral Lovers : Blushes, Lip Products, Nail Polishes

    Γεια σας κορίτσια μου όμορφα! Πριν λίγες ημέρες κατέβασα τα καλοκαιρινά ρούχα και διαπίστωσα ότι έχω αρκετά κοραλί μπλουζάκια και με αφορμή το πρόσφατο άρθρο της Άννας σκέφτηκα να γράψω σήμερα ένα άρθρο με τα κοραλί προϊόντα που έχω στην κατοχή μου, δηλαδή ρουζ, προϊόντα χειλιών και βερνίκια νυχιών, καθώς είναι ένα χρώμα που αγαπώ πολύ, είτε είμαι μαυρισμένη είτε όχι!

Monthly Favorites : July - August 2013

Hola chicas! How are you? August is over and soon the summer will be over, that makes me kinda sad, because I love changes, but I also love the summer and I don’t want it to be over! Can I get more Gemini than that? LOL! Don’t think so! Anyway, I didn’t do a July favorites, because I didn’t write them down and by the time I got back from my vacation I had forgotten many of them, so in this post we basically have July-August favorites. Let’s check them out! If I’ve swatched/reviewed any of the products or used it in a FOTD, I will post the corresponding link to it.

FOTD : 13.08.2013 ( taupe eyes, coral lips )

Hola chicas! Finally a FOTD from me, I want to start posting more FOTDs. I know my makeup isn’t anything special and exciting, but I love doing it anyway, hopefully you like it too. Can you tell I’ve been loving coral lipsticks lately? In my last FOTD I was wearing a coral lipstick too! Don’t mind my hair, I need to dye it, but now that I’m still going to the beach there’s no point in dying my hair, as it will fade very quickly. I must admit though that the Garnier ColorSensation holds up pretty well, the color doesn’t look orange even after 2 months (yep, that’s how long it has been lol)! Now I’m eager to buy and try Olia, their new hairdye. On with the FOTD, I’m rambling again lol!

Monthly Favorites : June 2013

Hola chicas! How are you? Can you believe June is over? I hope your June was better than mine, I had allergies and then a stupid infected mosquito bit me on my leg and I got a lovely infection, thank God I didn’t have to take antibiotics. Be extra careful with mosquitos this summer! Despite these facts, I kept on discovering and using products, especially skincare ones. Let’s check them out! If I’ve swatched/reviewed any of the products or used it in a FOTD, I will post the corresponding link to it.

Γειά σας κορίτσιά μου όμορφα! Πώς είσαστε; Το πιστεύετε ότι πέρασε και ο Ιούνιος; Ελπίζω ο μήνας σας να ήταν καλύτερος απ’το δικό μου, είχα αλλεργίες (με τον ηλίθιο καιρό, μια ζέστη, μια κρύο) και μετά με τσίμπησε ένα μολυσμένο κουνούπι στη γάμπα και έπαθα μια ωραιότατη φλεγμονή, ευτυχώς γλίτωσα την αντιβίωση. Να προσέχετε πάρα πολύ τα κουνούπια φέτος, δεν έχουν ψεκάσει λόγω κρίσης με αποτέλεσμα να είναι πολλά και μολυσμένα. Παρόλο που δεν ήμουν και στα καλύτερά μου, όπως μπορείτε να φανταστείτε, αυτό δε με εμπόδισε να ανακαλύψω καινούρια προϊόντα, ειδικά περιποίησης του δέρματος. Πάμε να τα δούμε; Αν έχω κάνει swatch/review σε κάποιο από τα προϊόντα ή αν το έχω χρησιμοποιήσει σε κάποιο μακιγιάζ, θα σας βάλω το αντίστοιχο link!

Monthly Favorites : May 2013 (super late!)

Hola chicas! How are you? It’s supposed to be summer here in Athens, but it’s not. It’s pretty cold (especially at night) and it’s been raining a lot, which is so weird for June. I know I’m extremely late with my May favorites, but I love doing (and reading) favorites, so I’m gonna do them anyway! If I’ve swatched/reviewed any of the products or used it in a FOTD, I will post the corresponding link to it!

Γειά σας κορίτσια μου όμορφα! Πώς είσαστε; Υποτίθεται έχουμε καλοκαίρι στην Ελλάδα, αλλά απ’ότι φαίνεται ο καιρός το σκέφτεται ακόμα. Πότε θα φτιάξει; Κρυώνω! Στο μεταξύ πάμε να δούμε τα αγαπημένα μου προϊόντα για το μήνα Μάιο, τα καθυστέρησα πολύ, αλλά θέλω να τα κάνω γιατί είναι ένα απ’τα αγαπημένα μου ποστ (και να τα γράφω και να τα διαβάζω). Αν έχω κάνει swatch/review σε κάποιο από τα προϊόντα ή αν το έχω χρησιμοποιήσει σε κάποιο μακιγιάζ, θα σας βάλω το αντίστοιχο link!

FOTD : 12.05.2013

Hola chicas! Almost a month ago I posted a picture on instagram and on my facebook profile and you seemed to like it a lot, so I thought I’d do a post about it.

Γειά σας κορίτσιά μου όμορφα! Πριν σχεδόν ένα μήνα δημοσίευσα μία φωτογραφία στο instagram και στο προφίλ μου στο facebook και απ’ότι φάνηκε σας άρεσε πολύ, οπότε είπα να κάνω ένα σχετικό ποστ.

Haul : MUA (Make Up Academy)

Hey my loves! Another old, forgotten haul post for you. It's from August as well, like the Elf UK haul I posted about a while ago. Back then MUA had reached 25,000 likes on their facebook page and to celebrate that they were offering 25% off their entire website plus free shipping for a few days, so of course I had to place an order. I own a few things from them thanks to a lovely girl named Nina, who I did a swap with like 2 years ago, and one of the things I own is a gorgeous duochrome purple single eyeshadow (Shade 9-Pearl), which I love, so I wanted to try more of their eyeshadows. Plus they had recently come out with the Undressed palette, which is supposed to be a dupe for the Naked palette by Urban Decay, so I couldn't resist. Let me show you the lovely things I got :

Eyeshadow Palette in Dusk til Dawn

Eyeshadow Palette in Poptastic

Lipstick in Shade 2

Lipstick in Shade 3

Lipstick in Shade 1

Lipstick in Shade 13

Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Glitter Eyeliner in Shade 8

Eyeshadow Palette in Heaven and Earth

Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed

Eyeshadow Palette in Glamour Days



The eyeshadow palettes are really nice in general, but I think I'm not very impressed by the lipsticks, although they're pretty popular. I need to try them more in order to express my opinion, but my first impressions of these 4 shades are not very positive! Maybe it's the 4 specific shades I got, I think I read somewhere that some of the shades are nice and some aren't, we'll see. Have you tried any of these items? Did you like them? Oh, and did you know that at 45,000 facebook likes MUA will add a special free gift to every order and at 50,000 they will offer 50% off? I'll let you know about these 2 offers when it's time! ;)

October favorites!! :)

Can you believe that 2010 is almost over? I can't!! It's time again for my monthly favorites! Thank God I've been feeling better lately, so I've been wearing some makeup too! :) Here are my favorites :

Back Row (starting from the left) :

• Avene Gentle Purifying Scrub : It's a quite mild scrub that feels great on the skin! It's gentle enough, so that you can use it pretty often and I also like the way it smells! :)

• Avene Cleanance Exfoliating and Absorbing Cleansing Mask : I really like this face mask ! While applying it it exfoliates my skin and then it leaves it so clean! :)

• La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel : It cleans my skin without drying it out and you don't need a lot of product each time!! I love it so far!

• Garnier Fructis Instant Melt-In Hair Mask : It smells great and it leaves my hair soft and shiny! It definitely works instantly, so no wait time! ;)

• La Roche Posay Effaclar M Sebo-Regulating Mattifying Moisturizer : I loooove it!!! It moisturizes well, while leaving my skin matte! :) I love the pump too!

Front Row (starting from the left) :

• MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 17 - Matt : Great basic eyeshadow, it matches my skintone perfectly! :)

• Pin Up Lip Balm in Raspberry : I'm not a lip balm fan, but this one is nice actually, especially if you like light lip balms! :) Plus the packaging is cute! :)

• The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter : Wow I love this body butter!! I use it on my legs and on my hands during the night and I wake up with baby soft skin! :) And it smells sooooo good!

• Revlon Cream Blush in Rosy Glow : This has become my favorite cream blush ! The color is so pretty and the consistency is really nice, it blends very well ! :)

I forgot to include NYX Round Lipstick in Thalia in the picture! I seriously love this lipstick, it's such a pretty color! Plus it has the same name as my best friend! :) Which products did you enjoy using during October? :)
