November favorites

Well it took me long enough (once more) but I decided on my November favorites.
The pictures are not very clear and I would like to apologize for that however I did try and make it as festive as possible by using my small(yet glorious)Christmas tree, as a background.

Clarins Pure Curl Mascara (in 01).A good everyday mascara. It gives a nice curl and separates my lashes however it doesn't give me much volume so I don't use it for evening/going out looks.

MAC Studio Fix Powder (my color is C3).I have been using this product for months and I love it. It gives me gr8 coverage by itself and sets my liquid foundation equally as well. I highly recommend it!

Two Faced Shadow Insurance. Dare I say I like it more than the UDPP??I do dare!:P
It keeps my shadows looking gr8 longer than the UDPP does and it makes the colors pop.

MAC's "Politely Pink" lipstick.I like this a lot. It is a light pink with slight mauve undertones.


The Body Shop's Nature's Minerals blush in "Pink Quartz".Great cheek color, easily blendable and super smoothe formulation. A great color too.


Last but not least isBobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (in 1-Black Ink).Amazing gel liner that lasts for hours.


That's it. Let me know if you'd like swatches for any of the products and I'll make sure I post some.

Dear Santa,

I am now officially in a very very Christmasy mood. Me and my family are just about ready to put up our Christmas decorations and I thought this would be the perfect time to do this post. Before I get started I would like to say that I will be leaving out wishes like: world peace etc not because they are cliche but because they are more spiritual and somewhat personal(at least that is what I think). So, if my stupid adult brain was capable of believing in Santa exactly like my innocent teenage brain used to I would ask for...

1. The Shu Uemura eyelash curler.I heard it is the best on the market and I would love to give it a try!

2. Lush goodies. I haven't been able to get my hands on LUSH for a while now.

3. A Car. I have been trying to get my father to buy me a car ever since I gave mine away to be recycled. I am so desperate I wouldn't mind a long-term lease either.I am now closer to persuading him and I will hopefully be driving this Fiat Panda very soon!!

4.The Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 monogram Canvas handbag. This is pretty str8 forward I think. I love this bag but I can't afford it at the moment however my summer job will give me the opportunity to buy it.Until then I can keep drooling over it.
5. Lanvin "Eclat D'Aperge" perfume gift set. This is one of my favorite perfumes ever and I would like to re-purchase it.

6. A trip to London (I am actually getting this for Christmas from my mom so you can imagine my JOY).
I love spending Christmas in London. Even thought it is the bussiest time of the year there I don't mind since I know London well enough and don't really need to do any touristy stuff. However I will seize this opportunity to shop till I drop and buy all sorts of stuff I can't get here.
7. A job!enough said!
8. Mini mince pies(preferably tesco's) topped with soy ice-cream.YUM!:p
9. Nars powder blush in "Sin". I have been drooling over it for almost 5 months now and I'll finally be able to purchase it!
10. Benefit "10". I have swatched all of the box o powders by benefit and I liked
"10" the most.
11. Sigma brushes("Nice in pink" travel kit) and the ss109.
12. Dan Brown's "The lost symbol". I'm picking this up the day I arrive in London cause I can't wait to start reading it.
13.A gym membership (or better yet a personal trainer :P to whip me back into shape).
14.Some extra prizes for my upcoming giveaway. I have accumulated some stuff but I wish I could have some more.

What's on your Christmas wishlist??

Why MIA?

Hey you guys,

I hope you are all well. I have been MIA lately because I have been ill. I am not sure exactly what is wrong with me. It feels like a cold or a upper respiratory system virus. I felt better a couple of days ago and yesterday I started feeling ill again. I am probably going to the doctor tomorrow but I am hoping I will get better soon since my mom and I are planning a trip for Christmas.

Hope you are all well and not ill like me!

Speak to you soon!
