Merry Christmas and a thank you!

So, i couldn't unfortunately reach my computer on the 24th nor the 25th because i've been extremely busy with family stuff, shopping, friends etc.

A little belated but oh well, never too late, i want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and if you're not celebrating then i want to wish you Happy Holidays! May you be surrounded by your loved ones and feel all festive and cheery inside :)

On another note i noticed that i now have 90 followers which for me is something incredible and by this post i want to thank each and every single one of you for following my blog, for being ever so kind and commenting and all the good stuff that comes with it :)

Thank you to everyone and have a Happy Christmas!

ok ok, you say obsession, i say...

Hello beautiful girlies!

It's true that i've certainly been obsessing over a few things this past month or so, and it's not just make up, skin care, or clothes (which will be featured in a November/December favourites post pretty soon). There are some blogs out there that got me sucked in for good, so here goes the list.

1)Gala Darling goes first as i've been obsessed about reading her weekly carousels, life inspiration posts and more :) Favourite post of the moment : the filofax love affair

2)Second place goes to a style and beauty blog called Be in Style. It's a nice and very informative blog that i'm sure most of you will find helpful :) Favourite post of the moment :Cute fall accesories. Seriously been dying over those rings :)

3)Collegefashion couldn't NOT be in the list! I've been checking this every single day.( Twice i quite ashamelesly say) Favourite post of the moment: Top 5 reasons to Love Lush

4)Life full of fashion is another blog that i discovered recently. Elena sure is beautiful. Favourite post: Atelier Loukia

5)B.Jones Style had to be in the list as well. I think she's beautiful and dresses elegantly. Favourite post of the moment:Preppy Fur.

6)All the Vanity is another one! I think Tina is beautiful, has gorgeous eyes and i like her loads! ;) Favourite post of the moment :NYX tutorial

7)And last but not least, i've been checking LLYMLRS on a daily basis. This girl is such an inspiration. Favourite post :Wednesday Adams

So that is all. It's not much but all of these blogs have got plenty of content to go through!

I hope you're all doing ok!

favourite fragrances of the moment

Hello ladies!

I'm sorry I haven't been taking photos with my camera, it's just that it literally died for a couple of days and couldn't take any new pictures thus putting promotional pictures on my blog and not my own. I will be a better blogger from now on i promise :)

So, since September i've noticed that my liking in fragrances has been the same. It is true that i lean towards musky, vanilla and sweet fragrances and stay away from soap smelling perfumes. I am now going to list down all the perfumes that have me sniffing them for good in the last months or so!

all these pictures are courtesy of sephora.com!

1) Alien by Thierry Muggler






A favourite of mine, perhaps my all time favourite! Its scent is very warm, very mysterious and very feminine. The moment that i wear this i instantly feel more grown up, more glamorous. They say it's 
a night fragrance but i absolutely have no problem wearing this during the day!
 The notes are: Solar Accord, Jasmine Sambac, Green Notes, Cashmeran, Vanilla, Transparent Amber
~My best friend actually told me the other day that this smells a little bit like Tsoureki which is a, Balkan cuisine, sweet bread. I can see where she's coming from as this might be from the Vanilla and Cashmera notes :)



2) Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf


A very feminine, fragrance. It feels sexy, femme fatale and all those bombshell adjectives you can think off! :) You need to smell this( as a polite way to say, you NEED this in your life)
The notes are : Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli.



3) Euphoria by Calvin Klein


Just a little bit smimilar to Flowerbomb although clearly more sporty and lighter Euphoria has been a staple for many women over the years and i believe that it has rightly done so.
The notes : Pomegranate, Persimmon, Green Notes, Black Orchid, Lotus Blossom, Champaca Flower, Liquid Amber, Mahogany Wood, Black Violet, Cream Accord.


4) Angel by Thierry Muggler

The funny thing is that this clean, vanilla scent is actually very similar if not identical with a bathbomb and body lotion that i got from Fresh line( Greek equivalent of Lush) from the Cassandra range. It smells beautiful and i SO wanted them to have a perfume in this range. and then i took a sniff of Angel and oh my good, they smell alike :)
The notes: Bergamot, Hedione, Helional, Honey, Dewberry, Red Berries, Vanilla, Caramel, Patchouli, Chocolate, Coumarin.


5) Tendre Poison by Dior

I hear they discontinued this? Not sure so i'll have to check  my local sephora.
So basically the only way to describe it is that it's a softer version of the original Poison. Smells a bit fruity and musky as well, it's the perfect mixture to wear during the day and during the night :)
The notes: galbanum, mandarin and freesia. The middle notes are: orange, honey and amber and the base of the fragrance is: vanilla, sandalwood and cedarwood.




6)Belle D' Opium by YSL


The funny thing is that when i first sprayed this on my wrists i absoutely hated it and was very worried as to why people seem to love it. Nevertheless when the very top notes are gone, it has a beautiful scent, as seductive and captivating as its name :)
The notes: top notes-mandarin orange, plum, clove, coriander and pepper � mid notes of jasmine, rose, Lily of the Valley, cinnamon and peach�and rounding out the bottom with sweet base notes containing sandalwood, vanilla, cedar wood, myrrh, amber, musk and patchouli.


Sorry for the long post :) I hope you guys enjoyed reading this. What are YOUR favourite fragrances? Are you more of a sweet-scent girl? a fruity one? or maybe a soap-like one? In the comments!!!

Inspiration of the moment!

One of my favourite blogs, streetfsn, features daily looks of stylish people walking by the street.
I saved those three pictures as my Autumn/Winter inspiration.

Creams, beiges, camels, nudes, soft warm browns, burned oranges and reds in junky knitted jumpers, 50's lady-like skirts and long coats. Need I say more?







What is your winter inspiration? Favourite winter colours? Let me know :)

Purchase of the week!

Hello guys!

To me autumn/winter is all about bold lips. Rasberry/cherry lips during November and then December is all about the bold Red lip. This year i intend to step away from the classic blue red and go for the orangey red one :)

I got these two lipsticks from Mac recently and fell in love with them immediately!

Media(left), Lady Danger(right)

Media is like the perfect dark rasberry colour! It looks like it's brown in the tube but once you swatch it or put it on your lips it comes of as a deep rasberry colour.

Lady danger is something i wanted to purchase for ages! It's an orangey red colour, and it seems to me that it's a more kind of orangey version of Ruby Woo ,by Mac as well. Makes it perfect for this year's Christmas!

Here come some crappy swatches, the colours look much more magnificent in real life, promise!


What do you guys think? Have you tried them? What are your favourite autumn/winter lipstick colours? Let me know in the comments! :)
