This week I wanted to share this gorgeous Christmas limited edition collection from Dior Beauty. It's a collection I keep my eyes on every year based on two reasons. Firstly the lipstick shades are incredibly beautiful and secondly the collection comes with a couture case that can be used as a clutch. This year the lipsticks are engraved with snowflakes and that level of detail makes them that more special to me. In this video I try on all the lipstick shades, so you can see what they look like, and also share my first impression of them and the clutch. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and share the love.

In todays post I'll share with you my make-up essentials for travelling. This post won't contain any skincare or cleansing products, strictly make-up. I would say I'm pretty organised and never take more that necessary, perhaps sometimes less than I should. For example I forgot to take my bronzer and a lip balm. Of course it depends on the destination and season what kind of product textures or colours I choose. If I were to pack for a beach summer vacation I would probably take a mascara, lipstick and BB cream, and barely use them. What I can say is, that I always overpack lipsticks. I'm a lipstick addict/hoarder so I like to have a lot of options. Lately, I've been better and controlled myself to only pick 3-4 shades. Anyway this is what I packed for a weekend.

Hi Dolls!
Today I'll share with you my current manicure and the make-up I applied today, including a close up of the products. The eyes are neutral, the whole make-up is very innocent and sweet. My nails show my excitement for spring with pops of pastel.

The Debby line was unknown to me prior to my last trip to Italy. I got these as part of my Christmas present, which gave me an opportunity of trying them out. Debby is an italian based make-up company, part of the Deborah Group. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but they are mini sized lipsticks, which is really cute. I got the kissMYlips Sheer in Nr. 56, kissMYlips laque in Nr. 33, 38 & 42 and kissMYlips duo limited edition in Nr. 8 & 3.
The colours have a decent pigmentation, especially for being sheer lipsticks. Keep in mind that they are a drugstore brand, which I thought was only found in Italy but was surprised to spot them in a Bipa. All the lipsticks are berry scented and have Shea butter in them. They are a little bit hydrating, however if you have chapped lips they will accentuate the effect.
When I first saw the Duo Lipstick I was unsure how you're supposed to use them without mixing the colours, but with a little patience it's doable and of course you can layer them. They are perfect for traveling, you want a hot pink lipstick one day and a purple one the other...you have everything in one lipstick tube. Because of the mini size, all of them are good for traveling since you can pack more colours using less space, which is pretty darn sweet for make-up/lipstick junkies.
As formula, even if they are pretty good, they do not compare to my YSL and Chanel ones, which have one of my favourite lipstick formulas. However I usually go for highly pigmented lipsticks, so it's not entirely fair to judge them equally, since the Debby ones are marketed as Sheer lipsticks. The plus side is that the Debby ones are probably an eighth of the price, so if your want to experiment with a bunch of colours it's the way to go. Hope you found this helpful.

Hi Dolls!
I did a simple make-up look, using a classic combination and decided to share it with you. Eyeliner and red lipstick go perfectly together, as most actresses have taught us during the years. It's really easy to achieve and requires very few products, you just have to practice your liner, which I still struggle with. Lately, I have been obsessed with matte lipsticks so you'll see that a lot on the blog this month.

I've picked up a few new beauty products, meaning it's time for a new haul post. Since the Gucci beauty line announcement I've been dying to get my hands on it. Initially I wanted a purple lipstick, which sadly resembled too much "Rebel" by MAC, so I couldn't justify getting it. I tried to pick a colour that was missing from my collection and succeeded if I may say so myself, which is getting harder and harder. While in Milan I also got a purple lip liner by Kiko... can you feel my obsession for purple lips yet? Quite random, I picked up some nail polishes by Essie and a primer by Catrice. I don't usually wear primer, but this one had a mouse like texture and felt nice when I tested it.
What's your lip colour obsession at the moment?

Hi Dolls!
Having a fresh natural make-up is always a good pick me up, especially when you aren't feeling all that great. Since I've been feeling sick it was the perfect time to show you which make-up products are my go to in such cases. Keep in mind that if you're feeling under the weather, you may not want to put make-up on and just lounge around, which is my perfect scenario. However sometimes you have uni or a job, which ruin your perfect lazy plans. I keep it really simple, honestly who wants a full face of make-up when you have fever or are feeling blue?!
If you have a good "skin day" or somewhat good, don't use foundation or BB/CC cream, just go for concealer under the eyes and/or on any blemishes/redness. For my eyes I used "Strange"(white matte colour) all over the lid and "Nooner" (cool taupe colour) in the crease for some dimension and loads of mascara. Go for a pigmented brow gel, it will add some colour and it keeps your brows in place all day. If you want a natural flush use just a bit of blush, no contour or anything crazy. Remember we're keeping it simple and as minimal as possible. I don't know if it's just me or if there is anybody else who thinks this, but neutral glosses always inspire a fresh look.
You could eat a cupcake or muffin or cookie to treat yourself while getting better. Don't forget to drink lots of water and tee with honey or plain and take care of yourselves.

Hello my Dolls!
I have to admit my obsession for red lipstick. Some of you might think that having five red lipsticks isn't a lot and others my think it's kind of unnecessary. Truthfully it is unnecessary to have five different shades of red lipsticks and I was happy even when I had just two. For me red lipsticks inspires elegance and looking sexy, being bold but classy, if that makes any sense.
Some of the shades may look alike, but they are all a little bit different. The NYX one is the softest and easiest to pull off anytime. MAC Morange and YSL Nr. 13 look more similar in picture than they are in real life. The YSL one is more red toned, while the MAC one is more orange toned and warmer. For me the YSL shade is a year round lipstick, while the MAC one I tend to use more during spring and summer, do to the orange tones in it. MAC Red and Chanel Nr. 104 look almost identical in the photograph, but there is a difference. MAC Red is cooler toned, more of a berry red lipstick and the Chanel one is a shade warmer. They are similar, but unique at the same time. My favourites at the moment are the Chanel and the YSL one. Which is your favourite red lipstick?

Hello Dolls!
Todays post will be a "Get ready with me" in pictures. It's a fall look with bold lips and neutral eyes. That's one of the things most enjoyable in fall : bold lips and specifically purple lips. I know not many like them or would wear them, especially during the day, however in autumn they seem appropriate. If you like the purple lips trend, but don't have a courage to go for it, my advice to you is to just rock it. Give it a try at least once, if it's not for you then you'll know instead of guessing or wondering.
Hope you like this post.

Todays outfit is another monochrome one, because I love them like this. As always my pop of colour comes from my lipstick, by now we all know how much I love bright lipsticks. This outfit has a lot of lace in it and I absolutely love it. Both the shirt and pants have lace, which is perfect for summer in my opinion.
I know I've told you the posts will go up every other day, but due to uni stuff I couldn't keep that schedule. However now it should be all good and I should be able to upload as promised. Hope you're having an awesome summer!

Hi Dolls!
Todays outfit will feature another beloved dress, a swing dress. It a romantic, elegant and minimalist kind of look. I say it's romantic because of the pattern and movement of the dress. Since the dress has enough details and doesn't necessarily need any accessorises, I just wore my Tiffany ring and vintage heart bracelet. And how cute is the silver butterfly detail on the zipper?! It's the small details that make an item so much better.
I love swing dresses, they remind me of my childhood. I used to have a favourite swing dress and I would do a lot of pirouettes, since the dress would make such a lovely effect. To be honest I still do this whenever wearing swing dresses. I just can't wear one and not do at least a pirouette, even if it's in the house after I've put it on.

Hi Dolls!
I have to admit to you all, this summer I have an obsession with white dresses! I think they look so feminine and stylish, not to mention super appropriate for summer. Since I can't wear just white, because I would feel to bride-like, I accessorised with black pumps and my monochrome bag. For my pop of colour I wore an orange lipstick and my neon orange bracelet, which got covered by the wristwatch and I didn't noticed it until it was to late.
What's your summer obsession? Tell me in the comments below!

Fun fact about me, my favourite flowers are blue roses, so this necklace was just made for me. I absolutely adore it! The pictures were taken by my lovely friend Anca.

In this and the next outfit post I want to share with you two opposite ways in which you could wear this pencil skirt. As you can see this outfit is really casual, where I paired it with a white loose blouse and converse shoes. I went for pink accessories and lipstick, for my pop of colour. This is a fun way of dressing down this kind of skirt, making it more laid back and fun to wear. However it's still a really feminine ensemble.

Hello Dolls!
I have not regressed to the age of twelve, so don't worry about that. I was feeling nostalgic and missing Disneyland, so I busted out my Minnie ears and created an outfit around that. Yes, I did go out with those ears on my head and yes some people gave me funny looks, but it's ok. I was feeling like a happy child and that's the most important thing. If you are happy with yourself, don't let other peoples judgement get you down.
Hold your head up high and smile. Did you know that forcing yourself to smile even when you don't feel like it, can actually help your mood get better? Staying positive will always help you, so try and stay as positive as you can.
I matched the colour scheme and pattern from my Minne ears with my blouse. I also found it very appropriate to wear my mouse flats for this look, not just because of the colour. Hope you like it and try to get out of your comfort zone from time to time, be that with fashion or life in general.

Hi Dolls!
Todays Outfit will feature a more business like ensemble, which is actually a dress that looks like a blouse combined with a skirt. It's a really flowing and comfortable dress, but also something I would wear to a business lunch. Have you noticed how much I love the classic black&white combination? To add a pop of colour I wore some baby pink bracelet and my bubble gum pink lipstick.
Let's take a moment and admire how gorgeous the sky colour was captured in these pictures. I was amazed by it, it looks as if it was painted! Hope you like the outfit!

Hi Loves!
I great you from sunny Vienna! I love days like this, when it's warm, but not burning hot. Since I was feeling cheerful, I chose to wear bright summery colours. Not that we should match our clothes with our feelings, but I was just feeling happy and wanted to express it not just through my smile, but also though my clothes.
Have a pink-tastic day!

Hey Dolls!
For todays outfit I chose summery dress with a fun cut-out. Since I felt more inspired I also decided to make a fishtail braid. The color palette has green and yellow incorporated into it, I'm still on my green kick apparently.
Remember to always smile and do what makes you happy! I want to encourage everyone to pursue their dreams. Don't hold back just because of others and their opinions, do what you like. Of course respect people and their opinions, but don't let their thoughts change your ways. Try to always be positive!

Hi Dolls!
I'm writing todays post from the train as I am traveling again, no complaint here. I wanted to share with you my traveling outfit. The weather is still pretty awesome, so it will be a spring outfit. When I travel I love to be comfortable, I could never wear heels or something in which I feel unwell. Therefore this is really casual and nothing special, but I thought you might still enjoy seeing it.
The blouse seems really plain, however it has a girly factor in the back. I went again for a pastel mint colour, which apparently is the colour that is catching my eyes these days. As you know I also wore a similar colour yesterday. I don't mind, hopefully neither will you. Hope you are all taking advantage of this lovely weather.

Hey Dolls!
Todays post will feature an outfit that I wore for lunch with my lovely friend Anca, who was also sweet enough to take my pictures. Since today was such a warm and gorgeous day, I decided to wear a spring-summery outfit. Also I have fallen in love with my Morange lipstick, again! It's just so amazing!
As you can see I went for a pastel silk blouse and a white skirt, which is actually a dress that I wore as a skirt. The pastel statement necklace was borrowed from Ancas wardrobe, since it went perfectly with my outfit. I'm trying to embrace summer as long as it last.
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses.
