*Colors Everywhere*

Ok, so I have my fare share of nail polishes and I just can't get enough of them! Although Gelish nails are a major trend right now I don't really like it because it makes my nails weak and also I get tired with a color really quickly:) so that is why my collection of nail polished is major! Like I have mentioned in my previous post I love the brand Catrice when it comes to nail polish simply because they are really cheap (around 2,5€) and the pallet of colors goes on and on.. These are just some of my favorite colors (from left to right)

-You Better Think Pink
-Brickey Mouse
- Raspberry Fields Forever
- Orang-Utan
- No Snow Patrol
- Purplelized
- It Blue My Mind

 I also bought 3 nailpolishes from Deborah because they have the matt effect and one has ultralasting shine (don't they all) :) I have to say that I don't like the matt effect that much since it gets shiny the first time you put any kind of lotion on your hands or if you just rub it too much. The one with ultra resistence is actually pretty good! I've had it for a couple of days and it only chiped on one finger which is a huge accoplishment for me :)
The Mint one is n.04, red matt one is n.05 and the violet one is n. 28.

 Please never mind the quality of the pictures, my camera isn't working and the light was horrible! :)

* Yesterdays Style Inspiration*

 

So I decided to be Beetlejuice yesterday :) A very simple style, where the main feature are B&W striped pants. I believe that the best way to style them is with a plain black shirt, some red lips and a cat eye. For jewelery I chose a silver necklace but I think that a gold one would be great as well!

Hope you like it ;)

* Primark Jewellery Haul*

Ok so I went a little "loco" in Primark. Me and 4 friends got in a car at 6 in the morning on a Saturday and drove 4HOURS!!! to get to the Vienna Primark. Never mind the fact that this Primark is about 30km out of Vienna and that we got lost in a small village thanks to our lovely friend Mr. Garmin <3 But we finally got there and it was worth every kilometer of the way!


So this is the jewellery I bought:

 So I bought this 3pack that included a cross, the Hamsa sign and a leaf. The Hamsa is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet symbolizing the Hand of God. In all faiths it is a protective sign. It brings it's owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. I first thought that this was 1 necklace in 3 layers but there were actually 3 for 3 € which is a real bargain! I will probably wear this with a simple t-shirt or v-neck and jeans since it's really simple and not meant to stand out.

 The next thing I bought was this mustache necklace just because it was soooo cute and it was only 3 €. The thing that bothers me a little is the short chain since the necklace only comes down to the beginning of your collar bone. I would wear this with some baggy, chic black pants and a simple tight shirt and probably accessorize with a hat and some gold bracelets.

I bought this long necklace because it really looks chic and different. It was 5 € and it's a really easy way to make an ordinary shirt pop out!

 Another necklace, very easy to wear since it's just plain silver. Again it was only 5 € so I can't complain :)

The last piece of jewelry I bought was this turquoise-green necklace which I bought because it went really well with a dress I bought (and which will be featured in my Primark clothes haul): And it was.... Yes only 5€ :) I love Primark <3 

*Cover Yourself Up-Maxfactor Pan Stik*

So this is by far the best concealer I have ever had! I've had it since high school (which was many, many, many years ago :)) and I have to say that I really love it.

On the product it says that it is suitable for normal/dry skin. I guess this is because it has a kind of "oily substance" making it less suitable for oily skin. But on the other hand, I tend to have quite oily skin (depends on my level of stress which is on the WTF level more times then I would like it to be) and if you use the right foundation and powder, the Maxfactor Pan Stik works really well as a concealer. If your skin is dry, then you could probably use it as a full on foundation.

Since my skin is so pale that I could easily get the leading role as a sparkling vampire in Twilight I use the lightest color available which is the True Beige n. 12 but it also comes in 2 different, darker colors.


So overall review, a great product, great at concealing imperfections on the skin and really easy to blend out. The only negative remark is the fact that it can come across as a little oily, but that can be handled with the right powder and foundation.

*10 Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap*

1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness.

2. Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The smell of the vacuum. That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate.

3. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy!

4. Go for a run or a walk. This get’s your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around!

5. Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive.

6. Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen.

7. Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup.

8. Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it.

9. Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo.

10. Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!

*New Beauty Buys*

So I kind of went shopping again and I kind of bought a whole lot of things :/ but I managed to constrain myself with the beauty buys so I only bought 6

I bought:

-2 nailpolishes by Deborah. One is the 100% Mat version in a sort of mint color (n. 04) and the other is kind of a violet pink color (n. 28). Haven’t tried them out yet but they’re so pretty <3

- the catrice eyebrow kit which come with the cutest tweezers and brush imaginable tried it 

out, like it so far but the brush is just tooooo tiny so you have to use a bigger angled brush.

-essence sun kissed eyeshadow. I love it. You apply it with your fingers and it just opens your eyes and it has just the right amount of shimmer in it to really make your eyes pop  

- the catrice liquid concealer which I already used and I have to say is really nice. Hides your dark circles and covers any imperfections on the skin. Mine is in the color porcelain.

- and finally the Guhl hair mask for damaged hair. It’s a 1-minute mask and although I believe that no 1-minute mask can do wonders for your hair, this one actually managed to make my hair a little more silky and easy to comb  

So that is all I bought (for now ), hope to buy more things very soon

*The Mrs. Carter Show by Beyonce*

The Queen B absolutely amazing!! have so much love for her, her voice and the fact that her dancers were amazing! Loved their bootylicious bodies she is so talented and she really gives you the feeling that you have so much more to accomplish in live! I absolutely loved the videos that were playing during the concert because they really made you proud to be an independent, strong and beautiful woman who is not afraid to use her sexuality in certain occasions

*PRIMARK!!!*

So I went to Primark the other day… Yep, I did. And I came home with 3 bags. Again, yep I did. So I was thinking of doing a haul post of the things I bought this time. I say this time because I decided to go back cause I just didn’t buy enough!  Oh, did I mention that the nearest Primark is a 4 hour drive from me?!?! The things I do for fashion

*Joie de vivre*

*Thinspiration*

So I’ve kinda decided to be more fit, heathy and skinny and stuff… So about a month ago I started eating healthier and I when through a lot of different theories about what you are supposed to eat,

what is good for you and I realized that if I was to “obey” every single thing written in these theories, I could just start eating fried air!! Wait, not even that, cause fried food is not on the “good girl, skinny girl” list! SO I kinda made up my own theory about what I think is good for you and I guess it work for me

- Drink a LOT of water
- Stay away from anything white! Flour, bread, spaghetti, milk…. the spaghetti part is a bummer
- Replace at least some of your meat intake with fish (which I adore anyway:))
-Make up your own recipes using the ingredients you like!

Regarding the last part of my “theory” I have the most yuuuummmy sandwich recipe ever!! Get yourself some wholewheat bread, put on some blended avocado (just shove it it the blender and Bob’s your uncle ), put some lettuce and an egg inside and you have a healthy, vegetabley (yes it is a word) snack!
Tell me if you like it

*March Favorites*

So since it’s the beginning of April (although you wouldn’t think so if you looked out my window and saw all the snowing going on) I thought I would share with you some of my march favorites! Yuhuu! So some of my beauty favorites this past month were:
CATRICE nail polish
-Ok, so I love this brand! I know it such a cheap brand but I just absolutely love it. Their nail polish colors are amazing and I bought about 5 different colors in March My favorite color at the moment is probably Rapsberry Fields Forever which is the intense pink on the picture and the Orange-Utan which is the orange one as you can probably tell from the name
John Freida Shampoo & Conditioner
-This is probably my favorite type of shampoo of all time! I usualy get the one that gives your hair more volume, but I also recently tried the Frizz-Ease one and its pretty darn good as well.
Garnier Body Oil
- I boaght this product because I hate rubbing in moisturizer :/ so I saw this in the store and fell in love because it has a pump but never mind the pump, this is a really good moisturizer since it has all the necessary oils you body needs and is especially good if you have dry skin.
Essence hand cream
- Ok, so another “cheap” brand, but I just absolutely looooove the smell and it makes my hands all nice and fluffy too
So these are just some of my MARCH FAVORITES. I have a lot more to try out and I’m hoping for the best
