NOTD -Cloud nails from "Nailside"

Hello Girls!

Weather is getting warmer, right? Time to have some more bright nails, to match the season!

♥

As I wrote in my previous post, I bought an essence polish.. So I though I’d use it , but also I wanted to do something different.

I follow a great and talented blogger , and her blog is nailside.blogspot.com  , and here is her tutorial how to make this cloud nail pattern nails!

So, credits to her:)

Here is what I used:

Essence’s top coat, essence Rassberry swirl, an Olivia (1€ brand) blue color and OPI’s Alpine snow. My base was essence’s new color.

(Sorry for my cuticles. I have an allergy cause due to acrylics.. now are in a ”good” shape, they used to be hard as rock, and yellow)

 

Hope you liked it !

Have an amazing weekend 🙂

Love

E.l.f Haul and Essence mini Haul

Hello beauties!

How are you?

Here I come with another haul. I -again- bought some Elf goodies online (3rd time since January) and some Essence from Hondos Center.

(I couldn’t stop myself. They re-stocked items after a looooong time!)

(These will be the last for a period of time, since I m currently looking for a job (so I can have an income to.. spend). That’s why I only invested in cheaper but good cosmetics like Elf. Not that I won’t buy them later,too … High price doesn’t not always equal quality, neither the opposite. I m very please with almost all their products.)

So, here is what I got.

Let’s look them one by one, and I will also do some swatches/reviews for some, if you have a request, I would be happy to listen!

This is Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance. Its a wonderful highlighter to use right above your cheekbones

It has shimmer in it, though its not visible in the photo.

This is lengthening & defining mascara in black. Pretty decent mascara for only 1.5 pounds

 

The following is one of the most popular items from Elf, the eyelid primer in sheer. Finally, found it available!!! YAY

 

This is an ELF lipstick in shade charming (I also got a Voodoo backup)

 

Here is the all-over cover stick in Apricot Beige (fair)

 

Here is the blush and bronzer compact kit

Mineral Booster in Sheer

 

And here is the eye-brow kit in dark (that I already LOOOOOOVE )

 

I also bought 2 brushes. The Studio powder brush and the smudge brush. The powder brush was a bit pressed in the package, so the shape is kinda squeezed and not round.

 

This is what I got from Elf.

Oh, and the eyelash curler

A bit of Essence now…..

A nail polish from marble mania collection. Rassberry swirl

Stay-all-day cream shadow in a bronze color

And last, an eyebrow kit which I bought to use their stencils. Lol

Well, that’s it! What do you think about my haul ? Have you got any of these products? Do you want to buy any of them? What’s your favorite?

Lots of love beauties.

GBB Meeting and L’oreal

*Dear non-Greek bloggers, sorry for the Greek post. Its about a meeting of Greek bloggers we had. If you want anything to ask, feel free , or I can even translate the post if you want me to, thanks *

Καλησπέρα κούκλες!

Να μαι και εγώ αν και λίγο αργοπορημένη….

Να σας πω την αλήθεια μου το σκεφτόμουν, να γράψω ή να μην γράψω κάποιο ποστ.. Δεν είχα πάρει φωτογραφική μαζί μου, και έτσι δεν έχω δικές μου φωτογραφίες απο τις κοπέλες και την συνάντηση..

Αποφάσισα να δανειστώ όμως άλλες….

 

Την προηγούμενη παρασκευή λοιπόν, μαζευτηκαμε Greek beauty bloggers , στην συνάντηση με την Loreal Paris Greece.

Η συμμετοχή ήταν μεγάλη, και χαίρομαι πολύ που όλο και μεγαλώνει ο κύκλος των Greek Bloggers.

Γνώρισα πάρα πολλες κοπέλες, με κάποιες μίλησα  λίγο (κρίμα), με άλλες περισσότερο. Ελπίζω την επόμενη φορά να σας  γνωρίσω όλες ακόμα καλύτερα !!!!!

Ολα τα παιδιά απο την L’oreal ήταν γλυκύτατα. Μας μιλήσανε για την ιστορία της Loreal, μας δείξανε νέα προϊόντα, και φυσικά απαντήσανε στις απορίες μας!

Η έκπληξη της βραδιάς δεν ήταν άλλη απο τον make up artist and hair stylist της Loreal, τον εκπληκτικό Δημήτρη Γιαννέτο. Προσιτός  και γλυκός 🙂

 

Στο τέλος της συνάντησης, μας δώσανε και απο μια σακουλίτσα με υπέροχα προϊόντα της L’oreal, ορίστε τα δικά μου:

 

To σαμπουάν και conditioner με αργινίνη,  η σήμα-κατατεθέν λακ elnett και έναν ορό νεότητας που έχω ήδη στο νεσεσέρ μου και βαριόμουν να βγάλω ώστε να φωτογραφίσω!

To μανό είναι το νούμερο (25?) νομίζω, ένα πολύ απαλό ροζάκι, και είναι νέα σύνθεση που περιέχει ΚΑΙ gel.

Περιείχε και ένα κραγιονάκι, που δεν ήταν ΚΑΘΟΛΟΥ το χρώμα μου, και το οποίο έδωσα σε μια άλλη beauty blogger, που δεν είχε την τύχη να είναι μαζί μας στην συνάντηση…..

……Αλλα ήρθε στον καφέ που πήγαμε μετα!

Επειδή λοιπόν ο χρόνος δεν έφτασε για να γνωριστούμε καλύτερα και να μιλήσουμε, πήγαμε στο mall, για να συνεχίσουμε το καφεδάκι μας (και να τσιμπήσουμε κάτι.χχχχ).

Λίγες φώτο απο το Mall λοιπόν…

Mε σειρά απο αριστερά…

Μαρία  –   Nατάσα   – Ναταλία – Mυρόνα

 

 

Σοφία και Δέσποινα – Στέλλα

 

Η ετοιμόγεννη Κορίνα με την Σταυρούλα και την Ολγα

 

 

Η Μαίρη με την Χριστίνα

 

Η αφεντομουτσούνα μου με την Αναστασία

Η Βούλα με την Φανή

Την Μαρία (δεξιά) την είπαμε πρίν απο λιγο, αλλα όχι την Ντέπη που χρωστάει μηλόπιτα.χχχ

 

Δυστυχώς δεν βρίσκω άλλες φώτογραφίες, όπως π.χ. της Μαίρης, γιαυτό όσες έχω ξεχάσει να με συγχωρέσετε και να μου ενημερώσετε να σας προσθέσω!

 

* Οι φωτογραφίες είναι απο την επίσημη σελίδα των Greek Beauty Bloggers  στο facebook!

 

Αυτά!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How I fell in love with a lipstick color, ELF – Voodoo

Hello beauties.

Its ELF time again.

I was about to make a review about some ELF products all together, but I hadn’t really tried this lipstick before. Once I did it, I had to post about it seperately.

There was not long ago that I said that I don’t usually try darker lipsticks, because I prefer ”safer” colors. Being pale in my skin, with dark hair, and big lips for my face, a too bright, or too red color for me is very risky.

I can’t really describe how much I loved this color. From the moment I tried it , I … just loved it !  It might just be me, and you might disagree with me, that’s why I ll swatch it and I expect your opinion as well.

Elf says : Spicy Warm Red Creme

I don’t know how exactly to describe it, its like the color of cherries? Wine red? Don’t know, its just looking great 😉

 

 

 

Looks  just okay, isn’t it ? But look it on my lips…

 

 

And how it actually looks with my skintone, colors,etc

         

So, what do you think?

I am delussional or it looks as good as I think it does?

Lots of Love.

E.l.f Blushes = Tickled Pink and Candid Coral

Hello beauties.

Here I am. I decided to make a blush swatch, I am not sure if I made the right decision though.

My camera is not the best, and the shades I chose are very light (I am not very good in applying blush, so I don’t buy darker shades, I am afraid to be a clown, actually).

So I decided to swatch my new – beautiful blushes – of Elf.

Candid Coral, a corl with gold shimmer blush, also known as a good dupe of Nars Orgasm and Tickled Pink, a very very fresh and beautiful pink.

So here they are…

Left is Candid Coral, right is Tickled Pink (beautiful, aren’t they)

  .

I had a really hard time to swatch them in my arm, so this is the best I could do

Candid Coral is the one in the top, and tickled pink the one in the bottom

And now, show time…

I don’t think you have seen my fugly face yet, so here I am . Yes, I am wearing my PJs, yes, with no other make up one, yes, my brows are not fulle plucked (I m trying to make them ticker actually) and yes, with jungle hair. So please be polite.

(Left ones are Tickled Pink,left ones are tickled Pink, or easiest method, when you see my ear ring, then its tickled pink)

Bathroom photos

 

  

And here is with sun light, but in my room

Bottomline, I love them. Its what I need. I don’t like very strong colors, I can’t work with them. Also with my skin tone, any strong color will appear so fake, and I prefer natural blushing. And to be honest, the photos doesn’t show how pigmented they really are. Coz they are way more than what you see here

What do you think?

Lots of love beauties.

xoxo
