TAG!

This is my first tag. I got it from "Belle Du Jour" and it is my first TAG!!So here it is...

-What made you choose your blog?

I was going through a -not so great- time in my life about 2 years ago and that is when I came up with a piece of writing under the title: Life is one big playground. I have posted it on this blog if anyone wants to have a look.

-What's your actual name?

Athina.

-Do you have any nicknames?

I used to be called "The greek" at uni...!

-Apart from the obvious make up / beauty hobby, what other hobbies do you have?

I love travelling and of course anything related to theatre and cinema. I, also, love swimming and tennis although I haven't picked up a racket in over a year now.

-What do you do?

I am a performance artist and I also teach Enlgish.

-What would you like to do?

Work as a performer or a director. Anything along those lines would make me incredibly happy. I would also like to move to the U.K. or the States permanently.

-Tell us something embarrassing, but that you love doing?

Driving around Athens by myself long past midnight when I know I should be home sleeping.

-Tell us a little something that we don't already know about you.

I drink more than 6 litres of water a day.

-What achievement are you most proud of?

Being able to move to the U.K. when I was 17, get my degree and fit in perfectly.

-What do you most like about yourself?

Not much. I like the fact that I am very creative and a good performer.

-What would you change about yourself if you could?

Lots!! The list is endless really. Off the top of my head I would say that I would like to stop allowing others to take advantage of me.

-If you could have anything in the world (that doesn't cost any money), what would you want?

The chance to live my life the way I want to.

My new favorite lip product.

I am in love with MAC dazzleglasses (from the double dazzle collection) at the moment. Even though they are quite sticky I find that with thin layer of lip balm or chap stick as a base they glide on nicely. Also they stay on for a long long time and they look fabulous. I purchased 2 (Smile and funtabulous) and I would like to buy at least one more. If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

On another note I wanted to say how happy I am to be returning to the U.K.this summer. I will get a chance to see my friends there, visit all my favorite places(including my very favorite chinese restaurant in London that makes the most delicious duck ever) and last but not least I will be doing lots and lots of shopping.

Simple purple eye look

Well, this is the first make-up look I am posting. It is a simple purple look for which I used Creme de violet eye shadow(outter part of the lid), stars 'n' rockets eye shadow(inner part of the lid), Vanilla pigment(brow bone) and Zoom lash mascara by MAC as well as a back eye liner by guerlain and a shimmery back and matte lilac YSL eye shadows (outter corner and crease respectively). I hope you guys like it. It is very simple and PURPLE(I looove purple :P).
