stuff that I'm loving at the moment

As I haven't done my monthly faves for ages,
I decided to share my faves at the moment.

COLOURFUL EYELINERS
As summer is finally here (well, Scottish summer lol),
I'm in love with playful makeup.
These are all different brands: MUFE, Primark, The Body Shop, H&M.
They're quick to use and very summery.

CLEARASIL RAPID ACTIVE TREATMENT CREAM
As I've been stressed out recently with college and stuff,
I had some major breakouts but this cream works
really well as the overnight treatment
(I wouldn't say that it works within 4h though).

L'OREAL EYELASH SERUM BOOSTER
I used it regularly for about 3 weeks
and my lashes feel stronger. Love this stuff!

THE BODY SHOP EYESHADOW in SUNDOWN GLOW 02
Whenever I'm going for a neutral shadow, that's the one I'm grabbing.
Plus, it looks really nice in the summer because of
the shimmer. Gives an easy smoke eye effect:)

BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION
Perfect for summer as it feels light but gives medium
coverage. It leaves the skin looking a bit dewy.
Impressive for a drugstore product!

RIVER ISLAND WATCH lol
I've got it for over a year.
It's actually a guys' watch but I never leave
my house without it.



IMPULSE DEODORANT - TEASE
I carry it in my purse cos its only 75 ml.
It smells very feminine and allows me to refresh myself
whenever I need it.

ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIPES
I've been travelling a bit and wipes are the best
way of saving some space in your luggage:-)

HARAJUKU SUNSHINE edition - LOVE
A very sweet, playful scent.
It fits my mood perfectly at the moment.
And the packaging is adorable lol

PALMER'S BUTTER
&
THE BODY SHOP SHIMMER BODY BUTTER
The first one great for the night (just hate the bottle,
it gets really difficult to squeeze it out) but it leaves the
skin so soft and moisturised in the morning.
The second one makes the skin shimmer but without any
heavy glitter. And it's coconutty:D Love it!

SPONGEBOB EARRINGS (from Claire's)
Haha. I know. Pretty childish but oh well lol

BLUEBERRIES
Yummy! My favourite snack at the moment.

Wish you all a great week!
xoxo

benefit freebies:D

I got so excited when I watched
lollipop26's video on YT about Benefit's freebies
that I ran out of the door to get my 3 copies of Glamour
straight away:D

Eye Bright, It Stick and Bad Gal eye pencil
are worth altogether £45 and I always wanted to try them
all but never wanted to spend that much money on the
products that aren't really that necessary, if you now what I mean.

Glamour costs £2 and I'll probably give my other
two copies to some girlfriends:)

The one that I'm most ecstatic about is the Eye Bright.
Can't wait to use it lol

Just wanted to quickly share that with you guys:)

Have a fantastic Saturday!
(I'm off to work in 2h:/
but went out so much this week
that I totally deserved to be working this weekend haha)

xoxo

The Body Shop freebie

Hello Lovelies:-)

I'd like to say hello to all my new followers,
you guys rock :-)

I'm getting my broadband installed this week
(finally!) so I'll be updating soon.

Just a quick post for the UK based chicas
about a June issue of Marie Claire
with a 50ml Body Shop Butter
(you can choose between shea, mango and love etc)
for £3,50.
I just got it today while grocery shopping in Tesco lol

Grrr can't believe that today is the 1st of June!
Seriously, time is flyyying recently.

Wish you all a fab month:)

xoxo

hair update + FOTD

Hello my Lovelies!
Long time, no see.
I'm sorry to be gone for so long,
but I've been extremely busy recently.

I'm moving tomorrow to a bigger flat:D
I'm super excited!

I also lost now 11 kg:)
It happened sort of naturally as
I'm really busy now with collage,
work, choosing uni for september,
busier social life:)
I feel really good and fit, so yay:D

My hair is so long now
and I'm loving it.
I cut and style it myself.
I've been doing that for ages now.
I also have them lighter now,
I'm into caramel-ish shade at the moment.

Makeupwise, often in the morning
I'm going for a simple smokey eye
and nude lips but I still enjoy
colours, especially now, when spring is coming:)

I feel very positive recently.
All the changes gave me an amazing boost of confidence:)

Hope that you are all well
and share my spring (?!) optimism LOL

Promise to come back permanently soon,
once all the craziness is finished:)

muah!

INs and OUTs

Hello my lovelies!
It's been a long time since I had time to sit and peacefully
write posts or check other blogs:/
But I'll do my best to catch up:)
I had a lot of stuff to deal with.

INs:

-Feeling slimmer and fitter
I lost 8kg so far, not always due to healthy
lifestyle, also because of stress but my goal is
to eat reasonably and exercise so I can feel
good in my own skin.

-Being single
Believe it or not but after 5 yrs spent
with one guy I find it challenging to come back
on the market lol
But I've got my first date tomorrow and I'm
super excited. I'm happy I can do what I want now,
think about my own needs and have fun.
A new chapter begins! woot woot

-Getting a new flat
I have a flatmate now that I love her to death:)
She broke up with her bf not long ago as well
so we support each other and have so much fun together.
We just found a bigger place now so we'll move at
the end of the month.



-Realising that you're surrounded by
great friends when you're in need ♥

-Amazing, supporting parents!
I'm so grateful for them.
The best parents I could possibly imagine ♥

-New job
Exciting.
Plus I get to work within young
vibrant environment.

OUTs:

-Getting to know that your ex was an asshole
I hate being told stuff he's been doing behind
my back.. It seems that I spent so much time
with a guy I didn't really know..
So painful. But I learnt my lesson:/



- Cold weather
Seriously. Enough is enough.

-Problems with my car
Please, no more.
Since I had my MOT done it started to freak out..
but it's ok now..shhh.. fingers crossed:)

Sorry it's not a beauty related post
but there is so much going on in my life
at the moment. I promise to go back on track.


Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Black skinny jeans - yay or nay?

I went to Zara last week and I got myself
a pair of black skinny jeans for only £19.99:)

I wanted them forever but I've been on the hunt for
the perfect pair.

They are so universal and versatile!
Black jeans can be worn casually with trainers,
Tshirt and a blazer or chic with heels and a shirt.

I'm a little curvy and initially I wasn't sure
they would look good on me but I love them!
And look at Kim Kardashian:)

So what do you guys think? -
Black skinny jeans: YAY or NAY?
