SEPHORA Cream Lip Stain

Hello my beautiful readers!

Today I want to talk about my perfect bold lipstick.

I always wanted to try Cream Lip Stain from Sephora. I have ton of different lip products but this line caught my interest because it’s a stain lipstick and it could stay up to 6 hours on your lips and also because my boyfriend always complains when I wear bright lip colors or bold lips. It's a pity, but we don't have Sephora in Austria that's why when I was in Italy I had to find a Sephora shop. 

Skipping all the raving about very nice and friendly stuff at the shop I want to tell you my overall impression about this lipstick. I bought it in two shades: red (01 Always Red - matte bold classic red) and nude (02 Peach Tart ) and before purchasing them I read lots of reviews and watched some YouTube videos about this lip product. 

 I knew that this product could dry out the lips but I always moisturise them so didn't have such a problem with this lipstick. The color range is quite good and I regret buying only two colors. The colors I bought are magnificent, they stay very long on my lips, they are highly pigmented, they don't leave marks on my clothes when I accidentally touch my lips and my boyfriend is also satisfied because his face remains clean, without any mark of the lipstick.

I think that this lip stain is perfect! I love its matte finish. The product stays on and does not run off of the lips, you don’t have to use a lip liner to keep it where you want it and the price is also amazing, only 10 € in Italy or 15$ in the US. It's simple to apply and you will only need one application but I would advice to exfoliate the lips and use a concealer or a simple lip-primer, this will help the stain go on smoother.

Colors I Bought:

COLOR 01 Always Red - matte bold classic red

COLOR 02 Peach Tart

That's it for today.

Don't be shy and try out bold lip!

Business Chic in Summer

Hello my fancy friends!

Last week I had an important business meeting so I had to look nice, professional and polished. As you may have noticed I love to dress up and a too formal style could be so boring. That’s why I decided to bring some creativity to my business style.

As it was incredibly hot in Vienna I had to find some light but yet professional clothes. I was looking through my closet trying to create a new outfit for my meeting and found this multicolor blazer that will go perfectly with the pair of loose black trousers that I purchased last week. The cut of the trousers allowed me to wear them on a hot summer day without sweating like on a treadmill. The top I went for was a very light and slightly transparent, decorated with sparkling sequins and because of its transparency I needed a blazer to make my outfit appropriate for it’s purpose.

Last but not least – shoes. Heels rule the world. Want to look professional - always go for a heel! It might be not very comfortable but I always have a pair of a comfy ballet flats in my bag. For this outfit I’ve chosen my new love – Givenchy pumps. I will be sincere and admit that these shoes are not the most comfortable heels to wear but the tiny bit of discomfort worth it. The print is magnificent, the heel’s height is just perfect and my legs look so slim and long.

My outfit turned out to be on the black side but I diluted it with the bright blazer and a pair of fancy heels.

As for the accessories a kept it simple and wore my everyday jewelry and my favorite watch and bracelet from Pandora.

To finish my business look I decided to make a natural make up in the brown tones and to my lips I applied my moisturizing nude lipstick.

That’s all for today.

Be fashionable and stay cool.

See you soon!

Boho Style in the Big City

Hello my dear stylish friends!

Last couple of weeks it was incredibly hot in Vienna and because of the hot it was impossible to be very stylish. And it was my excuse to go shopping for some new “very light” clothes. Girls…

Among all the clothes I bought was a new maxi dress from Zara.

This dress is a new challenge for me! I never had long dresses before because I thought that it isn’t very comfortable to wear a maxi dress and it might be hot in it. But I was mistaken! The dress turned out to be very comfortable to wear, the length is just perfect, the material is very light and I fell in love with this divine dark-blue color. So it's the right dress for a hot summer day.

As the dress is embroidered with an Ethno ornament I decided to go for a Boho style. For the rest of my outfit I kept it simple and wore the vest I bought in a very cheap Chinese online-store and blue flip-flops from Tory Burch. But for my look I wanted to add some bright color and added my favorite bracelets from Pandora and Forever21.

As for the bag, I wore my small and simple Jet Set Crossbody from Michael Kors. 

Be fashionable and stay cool 

See you soon!

St.Valentine’s Top-10 Gift Guide for a Girl

It can be so hard to choose a present for your girlfriend or wife. Women are so complicated. For example, I don’t like “household” gifts. I think that a gift, especially on Valentines Day, should be romantic! Men are more practical, they want to buy useful gifts but sometimes they are TOO practical (a new toaster or a charger).

In order to help you to satisfy and make your girlfriend happier I made this Top-10 Gift guide for girls.

So here are they!!!

1.  Perfume set 50-60 €

You can’t go wrong with perfume you just need to choose the right one. Ask an adviser at your local store or just go for a set if you don't know which one to choose. My personal favorites are from Dior. The best are Miss Dior, J’adore Dior or just the set of the most famous Dior perfumes in mini size.

 2. Lip Balm DIOR Lip Care

Not every girl likes lipsticks but EVERY girl will love these lip products! It’s not just a lipgloss or an average lipstick; these are one of the best lip care products.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper 36,95 €  (Your girlfriend dreams of fuller lips, it’s a natural way to make them fuller without any operations and botox

Dior Addict Lip Glow lip-36,95 €  (Natural lip color  moisturizer and skin protector)

Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm 28,95 € (A smoothing, plumping lip balm with SPF 10)

3. Bunch of Lush goodies 64,95  €

If your girlfriend loves taking a bath Lush goodies could be the perfect present for her. They not only smell like heaven but also hydrate the skin and make it softer. Believe me, a hot bubble bath with candles is what will make your girlfriend relaxed and happy.

P.S. a fruit plate and a glass of her favorite wine/cider will make it more perfect ;) 

4. Lagerfeld Bag 400 € (about 200 € on sale)

For all those bag lovers. Some girls love shoes, some-bags and if your girlfriend loves collecting bags you could go for a funny but very trendy bag from Karl Lagerfeld. Especially if she loves cats as me. This will be not only a  stylish accessory but a very useful one. She will be able to fit in all the stuff, college/school/uni books.

P.S. I’ve seen it on sale for only 160 euros (originally about 400), when I came the next day they were already sold out :(

5.     Teddy Bear 12-100 € (depend on the size)

Some girls like collecting toys especially teddy bears. My boyfriend gives me toys when I have to study hard and spend whole weeks with books, when I’m upset and need a cheer up or just have a birthday. They always remind me of him and bring out a smile on my face. 

  

  6. SPA Day 3 hours-17 €/whole day 24 € + sauna world-7,50 € (Therme Wien)

Who doesn’t love relaxing in a warm Jacuzzi and massage? I don't know such people. Your girlfriend will be definitely on the 7 sky. And it could be also a perfect present for yourself. You can go together and while your girl has her SPA treatment you can enjoy you time in the sauna. By the way, it is very romantic to swim together in the outdoors pool in the evening and enjoy some cocktails

 7. Clarisonic MIA2 149 €

A very useful skin care electronic brush, not a cheap one but one of the best skin care products on the market. Every girl (and not only girls) wants to have a perfect spotless skin. Clarisonic will help to cleanse the skin, remove all the dirt, makeup and dead skin cells.

     8. Tiffany Bracelet 150 €

A romantic and cute gift. You can’t go wrong with Tiffany&Co. 

9. The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil set 40-50 €

If your girlfriend likes skin care products this will be №1 Skin care set. The Body Shop new Wild Argan Oil series is a skin care heaven! Products moisturize the skin, make it softer. The Body butter is №1 MUST HAVE. The smell is amazing, not only your girlfriend will like it but you too. 

10. Pajama

Wildfox Couture 150 €

H&M 20-30 €

Let me tell you a secret, every girl loves beautiful and comfortable pajamas! I have lots of PJs sets in my closet for every occasion. My personal favorites are from Wildfox Couture. They are pricy but so beautiful and comfortable that I can wear them all day long.

Some H&M PJs have the similar design and they are much cheaper.
