Fall Favorite - "GERMAN-ICURE" by OPI


I absolutely love this new deep dark red color by OPI called "German-icure". I used two coats to get an opaque cover.
On my ring finger I'm sporting one coat of "The Man With The Golden Gun" 18 carat gold topcoat, also by OPI.

A very exclusive nail polish combination for fall!

Limited Edition Scent! - "Vineyard Peach"


If you're a fan of fruity scents then you might be interested in the new scent "Vineyard Peach" from The Body Shop. It is VERY sweet, and smells kind of like Nestea.

The line consists of a body butter, body lotion, body scrunb, shower gel and a lip gloss.
Many people will probably find the scent a bit too sweet, but, if you like it like that, then you'll love it!

Fall Favorite: Confetti Stud Pouch Bag!

 

I bought this from http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk a few weeks ago, and it has very quickly become my favorite bag. It's the perfect, "not too big, not too small" size and has a few pockets inside to make a little organization possible. It retails for 45 Pounds. 

I borrowed the picture below from Urban Outfitters' web-site as you're able to see the two straps that both come with the bag. 



Two words: Love it!

My Favorite Drugstore Top Coat!

 This top coat by Gosh is the best one I've used to date!



It functions both as a base and top coat, but I only use it as a top coat. (as I'm not crazy about using base coats.)

Anywho! This makes my nail polish last almost an entire week (unless I'm wearing a really shitty quality nail polish underneath it!) and it adds a lot of shine!

Definetely one to try!!

The Body Shop: Tea Tree Pore Minimizer + All-In-One BB Cream


I'm always looking for new products to make my skin appear healthy, even and clear.
These two products are a great base for just that. 

You apply the 'Tea Tree Pore Minimizer' as a primer after your moisturizer but before any make-up. You simply dap it on any areas with visible pores ( usually the  nose and cheek area) and let it sit for a few seconds. 
It immediately minimizes the appearance of pores, and over time, it will make the pores noticeably  smaller because of the tea tree oil that actually cleanses the skin.

I really love this pore minimizer as it primes, smoothes and mattifies without clogging the pores!



The BB cream starts out as a white, but transforms as you rub it in, and (almost) completely adapts to your skin tone.

It comes in 3 different shades 01, 02 and 03. 

01 suits A LOT of different skin tones but can actually look a bit orange on very pale skin, 02 suits tanner skin tones, and 03 suits quite dark skin! I use the lightest - 01.  


It looks a bit pink at first, but it turns in to a more warm color as you keep rubbing it in. 


The BB Cream has a light coverage but it definitely evens out the skin tone and makes the skin look healthy. It feels very light on the skin as opposed to other BB creams (e.g. the original one from Garnier) and as well as the pore minimizer, it doesn't clog the pores.

It's supposed to give up to 24 hours of moisture, which certainly is a bonus for people with normal to dry skin. I on the other hand have oily skin, but I don't become "more" oily with this product than I do with any other BB Cream/foundation that I've tried. That being said, I'd always use a powder with this BB cream, - as i would with any other BB cream or foundation.

I really like these products. They're great individually but certainly also together. I would definitely recommend them, as they suit many different skin types and tones!

Fall Favorite: Ceramic Oil burner


After a great amount of consideration, I finally decided to buy an oil burner. No regrets. I love the cozy look, not to mention the lovely scents that you can easily spread in an entire room.

I got my oil burner as well as the oil, from The Body Shop. I absolutely love the scent "Aloe & Soft Linen" because it is fresh yet subtle. But, for the upcoming colder seasons the vanilla scented oil would be delicious.

A cute and price-friendly addition to my bedroom decor!

ALL BLACK Nike Free Run +3



I stand up and walk around all day because of my job, therefore comfortable shoes are a must! I knew i wanted to get Nike Free shoes because they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. 

The only downside was that i had to get them customized, because there's a rule that you have to wear ALL black where I work. After about 3 weeks, my new shoes finally arrived in the mail. Thankfully they turned out great, - the right size and definitely as black as they come.
