Inglot Freedom System Palette

When I was in Valencia, Spain  during the cruise I did last month I had the chance to do some shopping at Inglot. Inglot is definitely one of the most popular brands between bloggers and make-up gurus, so I decided to try out a few eyeshadows. I love the fact that you can create your own customized palettes thanks to the Freedom System! After swatching tons and tons of eyeshadows (the selection was huge, really. I wish I'd taken a photo of the stand), I picked up three.

Matte 360, Matte 341, Matte 319

As you can tell from the photos, they're all neutrals - you've probably heard me saying I pretty much only use neutral a thousand times! There were some stunning, hyper-pigmented golds in the store, and please don't ask me why I didn't get those or even noted their number down, because I just don't know! 

Anyway, Matte 360 is a cool toned light brown, perfect for crease defining. Matte 319 is what I call an "antique pink". It's blue toned and it looks great applied all over the lid, it gives definition to the eye and it looks very natural. Matte 341 is a nude beigey brown. Those were €7 each, and the palette was free! :D I don't know if it was like a special promotion for that store; if not, you better hurry to your Inglot counter! Getting the palette for free is a huge deal!

I couldn't be happier with the eyeshadows I got. They're all very pigmented, they don't crease, they're buttery soft. The palette is sturdy (and it definitely looks professional); I wouldn't fear carrying it in my bag. They're definitely worth the hype, and considering each one is €7, they're much less expensive than M.A.C ones. I believe they're bigger too! Go get you some Inglot eyeshadows if you can :)

Easy high bun for long hair

A busy day means no time to dedicate to my reviews, so today I bring you another kind of post: a video tutorial on how I do my high bun! I hope you enjoy it :)

A happy day

Hey everyone! I'm sorry for the absence, but I haven't had the time to write a proper post for the past 4 days or so. It's late in the evening now and I'm super tired but I wanted to post something nonetheless!

There are some news in my life at the moment and I'm pretty excited about them. First of all, I just became an Avon rep! I'm so happy! I've been looking for an undemanding job for a while now, since I still go to high school and I don't have much time in the afternoon. I did a bit of research and then decided to contact Avon! I can't wait to start promoting the products. You can definitely expect some reviews here ;)

Today I went to the recently opened IKEA in my town and I got a few things including a sewing machine! I have always been into crafting and I got into sewing about last year, and I was really starting to need a sewing machine. It was only €79 which is great because all the other machines are more expensive and I'll only do the most basic things with mine. I'm so, so, so happy and I can't wait to thread it tomorrow morning! 

I'm just going to go to bed now before I fall asleep on the keyboard. I hope you're all having a great weekend! x

Etude House Blooming Lips-Talk

Ever since I started to be interested in Asian make-up, I considered Etude House Blooming Lips-Talk the cutest looking lipstick. The product is housed in a light pink bullet with a little bow at the front, which is the cutest thing ever! I just love how this lipstick looks!

The code of the shade I chose is OR202 - it has a name as well, but unfortunately I can't read Korean :( When I chose it, I was aware that product swatches on online websites are often not too reliable. As soon as I saw what the colour was IRL I feared that it would show peach on my lips, a colour that doesn't particularly suit my skintone. Luckily, it looks as a light orange *with a hint* of peach; it's a nice summery shade.

The texture is creamy and moisturizing at first, but it will start to feel dry after an hour or so; you might want to reapply just to give the lips that shiny look again.

The product has a faint fruity scent and it didn't bother me at all.

Etude House Blooming Lips-Talk retails for about $11.00, which is a good price for a lipstick. I really liked this lipstick and next time I have the chance I will definitely try more shades! :)

Today I want.. #5

I usually never find anything on the Jewelry section of the Topshop website: I don't like studs or skulls or crosses, so it's often hard for me to find nice jewelry. Today I was browsing the website and I started browsing the jewelry out of curiosity.. I found so many cute items, I couldn't believe it! Here are some of my favourites :)
