Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great week and a relaxing weekend. Today I've decided to share with you my current makeup wishlist. I have posted wishlists before, but they were focused on specific brands like Mac or Nars. So, shall we get started?
Firstly, I would like to try the new Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation. I have heard some positive reviews and I would like to give it a go, since I am not the biggest fan of heavy coverage foundations. Moving on to another face product, the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. This has been a foundation that I have been wanting to try for a while but I haven't, simply because of the shade range. As far as I know, Rimmel is not sold in Cyprus, so I can't physically test the shades to see if I could find a match. I might wait until I go to London in August, or order it online in the lightest shade, to give it a try. Since we are talking about Rimmel let's talk about the relatively new Apocalips lips lacquers. I've seen so many people mention these and I really want to try them. All of the colours look gorgeous, but Big Bang would be the first colour I would buy. Let's go back to Revlon, for a second. One more thing that I would love to get from this brand is the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick. Of course I would like to try other colours too, but if I had to pick one, it'd be this one. You're all going to laugh at me for not owning the Naked Palette from Urban Decay, but it's on my wishlist. I think I don't need it, even though I am lacking some warm, neutral eyeshadows. One other product that so many people have tried is the Benefit They're Real Mascara. I am looking for a new mascara to buy and this one has such positive reviews, that I might just buy it soon. In addition I would love to try any of the Topshop makeup or nail varnishes. To my disappointment, Topshop makeup is not sold at my local Topshop.

Hello everyone! On Friday, I noticed a couple of cute things at Bershka as I was passing by and I would like to share the two items I bought. There's a Bershka store next to my university, as there was a MAC store up until a week ago. You can imagine the sadness I felt when I saw the mac shop empty.
Nonetheless, life goes on! The first thing I saw at Bershka was a coral blazer and it was love at first sight. But the biggest size I could find was a small and when it comes to a piece that is going to be worn on top of other clothes I tend to go for a medium or large. I searched the rack and the only medium blazer I was able to find was a peachy-nude. The colour is truly beautiful, but I still have the coral one in mind. Maybe I'll try it on once more. The blazer was on 50% sale for 15 Euro from 30, which was a great bargain!
After choosing the blazer, I searched the rack underneath and I found a couple of cute dresses. One that really caught my attention, ended up being on my receipt at the counter. I'm talking about a beautiful and elegant dress that it's split on the waist. From the waist up it is made of white lace and diamonties on the collar and from the waist down it's flowy and black. The material of this item is 100% Polyester and if I'm not mistaken, this was the last dress there. Also, it is a small size and an item on sale for 15 euro, again. The dress is quite short and I'm not sure whether I would be confident enough to wear it with bare legs, but we shall see. I love dresses like this one, because they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I could totally wear it at a wedding and at uni. If you would like a post of how I dress down or up a dress, then please let me know.

Hello my beautiful readers! How are you? I hope you have had an enjoyable weekend! A couple hours ago, I finished painting my nails and I thought I would share my experimentation with you. I call this design an experiment simply because I had never used such a big dotting tool, but it turned out fine. As a result, I am posting this N.O.T.W. (Nails Of The Week) post.
As you can see from the picture on the above, I have use a light to medium grey, two coats of the Erre Due 84. I don't know if this colour has a name, unfortunately. This shade is surprisingly nice and flattering. I was scared it wouldn't suit my pale complexion, but luckily it does. Moving on to the black dots I created using a dotting tool from either eBay or Amazon, and the Gosh Nail Lacquer in Nero. The white dots where created on my thumb and ring finger only, and the black ones on the other three. I used the Maybelline Mini Colorama in 51 French White for the white dots, which doesn't smell very good to me. In addition, I used a random, silver glitter varnish that I forgot to include in the photo below. I thought the glitter particles were that finishing touch that the design needed. Lastly, let's not forget the Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat, that I used as a base and top coat. What a surprise!

Good evening my readers. I hope you have had a relaxing weekend and you are ready for Monday, tomorrow. Mondays are always hard, in my opinion. For my Monday I have to go to university for my English lesson and then I will have my third driving lesson. So far I can only say that I honestly dislike driving. Do you have any driving tips?
I wasn't sure for what to blog today. I was thinking of doing a January favourites post, but then I realised that I didn't have many products and the majority of them had been featured in my 2012 Favourites. So, I thought I should do a little review on a kit that I have been using for a while now. That is the Greenland Coconut Skin Kit. I have been wanting to blog about this for some time, because I use it everyday.
My best friend got me this for my birthday. At first, I wasn't very thrilled with it, simply because I'm not the biggest fan of coconuts. Well, I wasn't before trying this. This kit includes three products. A lip balm, a body butter and a hand cream. Let's talk about them, shall we?
