The Colourful Mascaras Edit
With so many colourful eyeshadows, various textures and formulas, we often forget how to spice up our makeup in well known but forgotten ways. Using colourful mascaras is not only an easy and quick way, but also an original one. We have been so used to trying various tones of eyeshadows and lipsticks, that we have forgotten the colours in other makeup products such as mascaras and eyeliners. But why are they a fab way to add colour to your makeup? Swiftness The 3-minute makeup challenge for me consists of applying my concealer in the areas I need it and then mascara. Why not use a colourful one? Within…
June 2018 :: Monthly Favourites and Highlights
This month has not been big on makeup and jewellery, by surely has had its fair share of beautiful moments. I like to write down both products and memories, in order to reference later. I also think you will enjoy getting a glimpse into my life and use it as a way to identify the nice moments in your life and be grateful for them. Here are my monthly favourites and highlights for June! June 2018 Favorites Natasha Denona Palette 5 in 02 . I love the blushed neutrals eyeshadows of this palette.

Cult Beauty Haul
Hello there! Today I thought I’d show you my last purchase from Cult Beauty! I love this shop! So many brands, and free delivery on orders over 40 pounds! Here is my Cult Beauty Haul: two skincare products from The Ordinary, two Charlotte Tilbury lip pencils and one eye pencil from Zoeva. So, here are my first impressions! Cult Beauty Skincare Haul The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil. Formally called 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil . It is a light oil that moisturises my skin and it is absorbed quite easily. So far I like it, it does moisturise my skin and its price is fab! The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics.…
How to find your perfect perfume
How many times have you bought a perfume just to discover you don’t like it, and later passed it onto a family member? Been there, done that, and learnt my lessons (even though the family member is still very pleased with it). So, today I am going to talk about how to find your perfect perfume. Why is it so hard to choose a perfume? Buying based on reviews only. Seeing a famous perfume on sale and saying “I’m buying it!” without ever having smelt it, is not the way to go. Unlike eyeshadows and lipsticks where you can see swatches online, you have to smell…
The Wayne Goss Holiday 2017 Brush
I absolutely love makeup brushes, even more when they are made by Japanese artisans. When I score such a brush that does not cost a fortune, I am such a happy chappy! Wayne Goss brushes are made in Japan, and they are much more affordable than other Japanese brands! Compared to MAC brushes, they are in the same price range, but their quality is vastly superior. Today, I am going to show you the Wayne Goss Holiday 2017 Brush. It is a limited edition brush and we don’t know if it’s going to stay or not. This brush is a Kebo type brush. Kebo brushes are used in the Japanese…
The perfect red lipstick for summer: Lancôme Idole
I love lipsticks and of course the classic red lipstick. However, there is something about red lipstick during summer months that prevents me from wearing it. Is it the fact that I have them associated with Christmas and cold weather? Is it that my face gets red because of the heat and I don’t want to look like a tomato? If you have the same concerns as me, I hope that this post will answer your red lipstick summer needs! The solution? L’ Αbsolu rouge matte lipstick by Lancôme, in 186 Idole. The colour The colour is a stunning! Who would expect otherwise, since it was created by the…
Natasha Denona in Europe!
I am so excited that I couldn’t even hold back the news to reveal them inside the post! Ok, so, the day before yesterday Natasha Denona announced via her Instagram account that she will launch her brand in the European Sephora shop! I couldn’t be more excited! As she said, the launch date will be sometime in fall. Hooray for Natasha Denona in Europe! The only place I have been able to order Natasha Denona products so far has been Beautylish. Mind you, it is an excellent online shop which offers free shipping over orders $75 and you pay your taxes upon checkout. This way, there are no extra…
My top summer beauty bits
Hooray! It’s officially summer! I gathered my top summer beauty bits for this season, that I hope I’ll make the most use out of. I am so excited for warm weather (even if that translates into hot weather, with me fanning my face until I get to the next air-conditioned area, haha!) and I am particularly excited for this summer because of the beauty trends! Glass skin, sun-kissed, bronzed faces, vibrant colours! Glowy skin In the summer I tend to sweat a lot, so I am not particularly fond of heavy foundations. I just want my skin to breathe and be able to swipe my sweat without worrying about makeup.…
An ode to mini perfumes
Hello there! I thought it would be a good idea to talk to you about my love for the mini versions of perfumes and perfume samples. I just love getting perfume samples or even buy them when they are included as gifts in fashion magazines (I actually justify these purchases as buying the sample and the magazine is just a free bonus!) . Why should you love them too? You save money Receiving samples and buying mini-versions is actually for me the safest way of getting to know the perfume market, when you are in a hunt for a new fragrance. You can get mini perfumes either as free samples…
Summer Lipsticks by Charlotte Tilbury
Hello there and welcome to Blossomful! Today I am going to show you my favourite summer lipsticks, and they are from my favourite makeup brand, Charlotte Tilbury! I absolutely love her lipstick line! (Not to mention all her lines *my bank account nods with a sigh* ). These lipsticks are so comfortable to wear, they are matte but incredibly moisturising! The packaging is so gorgeous as well, it makes the whole experience of application so much more enjoyable! The shades are stunning! For summer, I love the following five lipstick shades. Not that you couldn’t rock a nude lip in the summer. But bright, pink and fun lipsticks just scream sunshine and…
