7 deadly sins of beauty

hey loves!
i was recently tagged by dear claire from notebookofclaire.blogspot.com to do this post called 7 deadly sins of beauty! So lets get started!

what is your most inexpensive and your most expensive beauty item (greed)?

my most inexpensive beauty item will be my elf studio complexion brush which i bought on a sale and costed me just 2 euros and my most expensive one at the moment is my mineralize skinfinish in blonde from the naturally collection which costed me 30 euros more or less..

what product do you have a love/hate relationship with and what was the hardest to get (wrath) ?

i have a love hate relationship with dark nail polishes because despite the fact that i ADORE them i find it hard to do my nails every day (none has ever lasted me more than 2 days)
The most searched for product was my favourite mac prolongwear lipstick in unlimited. I wanted it for so long but it was never stocked in my local mac store.

what are your most delicious beauty products (gluttony) ?

my most delicious one is my body butter from the brand priorities in vanilla ice. Its smell is to die for!

what beauty product do you neglect due to laziness (sloth) ?

i hardly ever use primers! I think i don't need one for my eyes but i could use a primer for my face.

what attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex (lust) ?

oh, i don't know... Eyes, smile, sense of humour, him being a gentleman.. Ok i admit it i am into tall guys.. :)

what items would you most like to receive as a gift (envy) ? 

I love to get things as a gift that i could/would not buy by myself. Having said that i love make up, perfumes, accessories, simple jewellery... Depends on who the present is coming from actually :)

i tag all of you to do this post!
i can't wait to read your answers!

february favourites!

ok ok! i know february is not over yet but i already kno my favourites and this is not going to change in a few days! i am dying to share with you guys!

lets get rolling shall we?
:)

Firstly i would like to mention that last months favourites are still in my everyday routine but there are some more this month!
Lets talk about brushes!
Last month i ordered the one and only sigma flat top kabuki (F80). Oh my god! Foundation applies so smoothly with this! I have been using it with the mac select foundation in NW20 which is pretty good actually. Not that i won't try any other foundation though!

what about eyeshadows? well this month i have been loving mac's dazzlelight as a highlight colour, mac's patina used both in the crease and as an all over the lid colour, benefit's creasless cream eyeshadow in rsvp and mac's indianwood paint pot! i have actually skipped liner this moth!

for blush i have been loving my mac mineralize skinfinish in blonde from the naturally collection.

Last but not least a present from my lovely boyfriend who knows me so well

 So in love with them!!!

So girls as you can see i am a mac lover (i admit that) but these are my favourites for the month of february
What are yours? Have you tried any of these???

Must MUST have!

hey loves!!

how have you been? i hope everything is great!
lately i have been obsessed with buying new make up but i have promised myself that i will try to hit pan on some first and then go crazy!!
So that made me think which are the ones that i would go rebuy right away..
So...
first of all my all time favourite perfume! Chloe!!! oh my god! i absolutely love this scent!
I am already in my 5th bottle and definately rebuying that!

Next i am going to talk about a nail polish which actually is a surprise for me because i usually like deep colours in my nails but this one has been a stable in my collection for about 3 years now and it is by erre due exclusive nail laquer in number 136. It is a nude colour, nothing different than the ones you already own but i love its texture and shine, and can be worn summer and winter!
you can find it here : http://www.erredue.gr/pop.php?id=21&lang=_en

Then my favourite mascara of all times l oreal carbon black volluminous mascara!
there is not much to say about this one i am in my 4th tube and i absolutely adore it!

Lastly i would like to mention mac's prolong wear lipcremes. I only have 2 shades, unlimited and sweet ever after. The first one is a muted dirty rose and the second one a golden brown.
well i am not actually a lipstick person but this product is great for the days you don't feel like doing anything much! i just put on some mascara and one of those two and i am good to go! They have a lasting power of at least 5 hours and don't dry out your lips as other matte or longwear lipsticks (like mac's prolong wear lipcolour) do!

I would like to mention that i have bought some new products that i absolutely love and that could easily make it to the must haves list but i will need a few more days to test them out and then let you now!
i think they will definately going to make it to february favourites though!

What are your must have products?

january favourites!

hey girls!
i just wanted to share some things with you that i have been wearing non stop this month!
I know i know...most of them are from mac! but i can't help it! they are amazing!

lets start with the non-Mac products!
I recently bought the sephora professonnel contour/blush/bronzer brush!
i have been using it for applying my powder and works perfectly!

you can find it here : http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P188219&categoryId=S4906&shouldPaginate=true#

Next it is a face care product and it is the apivita exfoliating face cream with lavender and olive and it is by far the best exfoliator i have ever used. If you have not tried any of their products please DO. Everything is amazing for body moisturizer to lip balms! Their face masks are better than words can describe!

you can find them here : http://www.apivita.com/

i think they ship in all the EU.

Now MAC!!!!! 

My mac 129 brush which I use for blush. It is limited edition so the handle is transparent with silver glitter in but is like a classic 129.

then my new concealer which is studio sculpt concealer in NW20 (yes apparently i am a NW20) which conceals all my little imperfections and never sits in the lines!

next my first ever paint pot in indianwood! Yes this is my first and after understanding what everybody was talking about i know that i am going to get them all!!! Mac describes it as a metallic antique bronze colour and i think i would definately agree! To set things straight i wear it as an eyeshadow and not as a base with nothing on top, nothing underneath! And it stays there for 11 hours today! Yes it is true! I thought this would move, this would crease! NO no no! It is amazing!

last but not least my amazing blush 'harmony' which i am sure i will hit pan very soon! It is just a muted beige-brown which goes with everything and can be used as a contour!

I also went to buy mineralize skinfinish natural but apparently i am in the shade light plus and i was told that they don't get it in the store which is in Patras. I was very disappointed but i bought the careblend powder instead! I don't think this will be the same but i though I should give it a go and then tell you about it!

Sorry about the lack of swatches but i haven't sorted out the problem with my camera yet!

What are your first favourites of the year?? have you tried any of them? do you have any suggestions?

I am in a Mac addicted phase at the moment!

cu soon girls!!

elf once more!

hey girls!
today i am going to do a post promised long ago..
since my camera is doing very well these days i thought i'd post this one with pictures taken a long time ago!

so lets start with the face products

so on the left is the studio blush in candid coral and on the right from up, their studio duo bronzer and blusher and their studio cool bronzer. i don't particularly enjoy the ones on the right because their are very dark for my skin tone, but i have used candid coral a few times!

now for the lips!

down : luscious liquid lipstick in maple sugar and strawberry
up: from left to right from the mineral line rosy raisin and rosy tan and from the essential line fantasy, seductive, posh
i have used up maple sugar and really loved the mineral lipsticks, sheer but beautiful and natural but haven't used the other ones. To be honest although these are gorgeous colours i don't like how they feel like on the lips.

last but not least something i am really excited about, brushes!!

from left to right studio kabuki face brush (aaaaamazing), blush, bronzing and blending brush, studio fan brush and c eyeshadow brush.

ok, so i think i have tried a lot of products from elf and i really liked many of them but the brushes are amazing! i would definately buy some more brushes and my next order will include all brushes i don't own yet. maybe some doubles. To be honest i definately prefer the studio ones, they are so soft and feel great using them but for 1.70 euros you can't go wrong with the essential line!

so girls, what are you favourite elf products?
i hope you enjoyed this post and i will be back soon with a haul for you :)

xxx cu soon

happy new year!!!

hello girls!!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
how have you been???i hope everyone had great holidays!!! i am so sorry about the absence of posts lately but i have a huge problem with my camera! i hope that i will figure this out soon!
I have a haul coming for you soon but until then i would like to share with you some thought on my new year's resolutions!

Well i am not the type of girl that makes lists at the start of new year!
this year i thought why not???
So i made 2 lists! one is my wishlist for 2012 which i guess i will be updating all the time and the othe one is things i think important for anyone to keep going!

So,for me it is important to have a healthy diet and exercise often which is something that i have neglected these past few years! i want to have time for my friends and spend all my spare time with my boyfriend and family!

Lastly the MOST important thing is to be motivated and optimistic! Knowing
who you are and what you deserve is what will keep you healthy soul and body!

What are your new year's resolutions? How have you been spending your time these holidays?

happy new year everybody!
