Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 First Impressions
If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I have stated that I would refrain from makeup purchases for half a year! I have been doing really well. I enjoy using the products I already have, or I have only bought what I was running out of, or that I found on a very good deal.

I have been wanting to get one of these palettes they do every Christmas. In fact, I wanted to try their classic Ambient Lighting palette, but I…

My skincare philosophy
When it comes to beauty products category, makeup is the first thing that comes to our minds. Indeed, makeup is something we see, in the sense that it adds paint on our faces, be it lipstick, blush or eyeliner. We have all been charmed by shimmery and glittery eyeshadows and fancy lip colours. However, there is a much more important category of products that belong to the beauty family, and that is the skincare products. I have broken down the components of my skincare, presenting you my skincare philosophy, and where I spend more or less money. Good skincare makes our faces glow from within. It helps bring out the…

If you really want to get in the autumn mood with your makeup, here is the palette for you: Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsessions palette.

My all-time favourite nail polish top coat :: Poshé Top Coat
Hello there and say hello to an unsung hero of top coats! It is the Poshé super-fast drying top coat. I wanted to make a whole post dedicated to it because I don’t think that the beauty community has praised it enough. It is indeed super-fast drying, you can apply it even if the previous nail polish layer is not 100% dry. Why it is my favourite It starts drying right after I finish applying it (you have to be a bit quick with it, not crazy quick, but if you start taking your time to apply it, it will start setting before you finish) Consequently, you can do stuff…
Travel Diaries :: Kythera
Before settling in well in autumn, I would like to do a post regarding my latest holidays on Kythera island. It is a beautiful island in Greece, which belongs to the group of Eptanisa islands. I really loved the place, and I am going to show you some of my favourite pictures. Charming Details I love how many corners in the villages of the island were so nicely painted and decorated. It’s the details that make the difference. When I look at them I can understand that someone put an effort in making things beautiful, because they like beauty. Nature Kythera is an island that combines both beautiful seaside places…
Lisa Eldridge Grace Ring Part 1 – Why I bought it & Unboxing
Welcome! If you are thinking about investing in a piece of jewelry by Lisa Eldridge, you have come to the right place! I had been thinking for a long time to purchase a ring from her collection. The reason why Ι hesitated is the price tag, which is an important fraction of my salary (and some of her rings exceed my salary – hint: by saying exceed I mean oh, by far!). Despite the price tag, Lisa Eldridge rings have had great success as they were sold out very quickly after the launch. Even when a model comes back in stock it is a matter of hours for it to sell…
Consuming Digital Content Pt 2 :: Enjoying
Welcome to part 2 of my Consuming Digital Content series. You can find the first part here. Let’s go on on part 2! People love efficiency, doing more stuff, with less effort and less time is a pretty good idea, right? However, when it comes to recreation, when you read something for your pleasure, there is no need to be in a rush! Instant digital content consumption I so often found myself scrolling infinitely through my Instagram feed, but it felt as if I was under the pressure of a deadline to “finish” watching new images. After realising what was happening, I uninstalled Instagram, in order to break this bad…
My Night-Time Skincare Routine
I used to be the person that did not pay attention to their skincare regimen. I am glad my mum advised me to wear a daily moisturiser since my early twenties. If it wasn’t for her I don’t know when I would have started wearing it. It was some years later, that I decided I had to take care of my skin, if I didn’t want it to age too soon. Skincare is the cornerstone of beauty in the sense that if you treat your skin nice, you won’t need many or even any makeup products. So, here is my night-time skincare routine, which I hope will give you some…
