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…
How to make yourself feel comfortable at work
First day at your new workplace, first and foremost, congrats that you got hired! New offices, new colleagues, new managers, new area. It can be overwhelming to make yourself used to your new work environment and get comfortable at work. Here are my two cents that hopefully will make you feel a little better at your new workplace. Be social and open-minded It is very important to remember that you go to a new environment with different people, who might operate in a very different way than you are used to. This does not necessarily mean worse, it simply means different. It is better to embrace this place and get…
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.…
The Index Finger Ring Edit
I love me some beautiful rings! I don’t know if the index finger ring is a trend or not, but for me it is something that has come to stay. I find index finger rings so chic and modern. There are many ways to wear them; you can either go for delicate styles like the ones I show you, or go for more statement pieces, like the lovely rings by Lisa Eldridge. I personally prefer more delicate styles, like these from Prigipo and Accessorize. I love Prigipo jewellery, because they are handmade, minimal and original, but more on that on another post. How to wear index finger rings? Standalone You…
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…
