Hello everyone! Today's video is about me getting ready from start to finish for a night out to a club with my friends. You can see me apply my makeup, choose my outfit and accessories. I was in a bit of a hurry, so my makeup ended up being a bit simpler than what I wanted. Also, my outfit could have been better, yes I mean those shoes, but I decided to go for comfort instead of style. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to watch in HD!

Hello everyone! How are you? As it is Thursday today, I have a new fashion blog post. Well, it's a simple, fun and feminine outfit of the day for the summer time. My amazing pearl and triangle earrings are from Topshop and my grey, oversized sunglasses are from Primark. In addition, the leopard print top is from Terranova and my gold, nautical bracelets are from Primark. My glittery gold, thin belt is another Terranova purchase and my lovely blue skirt was bought at Stradivarius. Lastly, my handbag is from a local shop called Shoebox and my uncomfortable pumps are from Stradivarius. This outfit is definitely one of my favourites, as I love mixing blue and gold and there's a patterned piece of clothing too.

Hello everyone. I hope your week has been great so far. Mine, however, has been very strange and quite dangerous, I dare say. On Monday, my one year old little niece started choking when I was feeding her lunch and she wasn't able to breathe for about a minute. I was petrified that she was actually going to die, right in front of me. Thank God, my father was able to get her to throw up and get that thing out of her throat. Other odd things happened, like something burned my mum's eye, my dad burning his arm and my brother breaking his nose. There's something seriously wrong going on in my house!
Anyway, enough with the family drama. We're all safe and sound now. As it is Wednesday today, we have an Instagram blog post. The first photo shows the outfit pieces I wore for last Thursday's fashion post. Next to that there's a delicious snack my lovely dad prepared for me. The last photo of the first row is of an old ankle boot that I've removed the studs of before recycling it. First photo of the second row is of the nose pore strips from M&S I used during the weekend. Next to that is the unfinished and failed attempt to draw Matt Smith from a still in The Bells of Saint John. Lastly we have the outfit pieces for tomorrow's fashion post.

This Oriflame makeup bag has been in the first drawer of my desk for about six months. The majority of the products have stayed the same, throughout that time. My desk is where I normally apply my makeup on a daily basis. The rest of my makeup is kept next to my bed in an IKEA organiser (Makeup Organisation post here). Since the rest of my makeup has some distance from my desk, that a lazy girl like me doesn't like, I keep a bag with my go-to makeup products for easy access. So today, I will be sharing with you what these products are and why I use them so often.

Hello everyone! Summer is here and I felt like filming a colourful makeup tutorial for you. Well, it's not very colourful, but it's not boring, right? Excuse the photo above, I don't look good in close-ups. I'm so glad that I have been able to post four new blog posts, this week and I think I am going to try keeping this new schedule for next week, as well. But there's a lot of planning to be done, so I won't miss any days. Allow me to remind you what the new schedule is. Tuesday a beauty post, Wednesday an Instagram one, Thursday a fashion blog post and on Friday a youtube video. Anyway, I hope you like the video and the look. Don't forget to watch the video in HD and subscribe to get notified for future videos.

Hello everyone! This week I am testing a new blogging schedule and that's why I am posting this today. Basically, I would like to have a beauty post on Tuesday, an Instagram post on Wednesday, a fashion post on Thursday and youtube video on Friday. Let's hope it works, because I want to blog more often, but I can find the time to prepare for a good post. So today's blog post is an Instagram one, in which I show you six recent pictures that I have posted on my profile. The first one was taken just after painting my nails with a beautiful coral/red, the Erre Due 47. Next to that there was a sneak preview of Friday's blog post, The Body Shop's Tea Tree Cool & Creamy Wash. Last picture of the first row is one of my recently washed makeup brushes. Moving on to the second row we have a lame picture of my computer's screen when I was watching Doctor Who series six. Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with this show lately? Next to that there is a bowl of cereal. Very exciting, I know! Lastly, there's an unfinished drawing of mine that I started in January and I have been working on these past few days.

Today's blog post is about five empty and boring products. About six months ago, I decided to start collecting my empty products, so I can film an empties video with at least 10 items. Why six months ago, you may ask. Well, I am horrible when it comes to using up products, so I thought I'd start collecting them until I reach a good number. To be honest, I haven't counted them and they're scattered all over my room's drawers, so I might have enough for a video. Nonetheless, these were the five items I found in my nail varnish drawer. Shall we get started?
1. LR Aloe Vera Hand Care Extra Rich Hand Cream: I haven't used this in a while, but I remember this being a very moisturising and thick cream. It has 40% Aloe Vera, Almond oil, and it claims to smooth and regenerate the skin. Also, it is addressed to very dry skin, and I use this during the winter as my hands get incredibly dry. This cream however, doesn't have a very appealing smell, but it's not strong, so I don't mind.
2. LR Aloe Vera Face Care Moisturising Lip Care: Currently I am using this product, just a new one. It's not the best lip balm, but it does the job and it's cheap. It contains 40% Aloe Vera, as well. In addition, it's free from parabens and mineral oil. Again, this is a non scented product.
3. LR Aloe Vera Face Care Soft Skin Cleansing Tissues: These used to be my go-to makeup removing method during the winter, until I run out of them and started using the Avon Conditioning Eye Makeup Remover lotion. Yes, I use an eye makeup remover for my face, I have sensitive skin and I'm lazy. The cleansing tissues have 30% Aloe Vera and are free from mineral oil and parabens. Again, these aren't scented and aren't amazing. I find them very good in terms of removing makeup, but no so great for removing mascara.

For the last couple of weeks, I have been using the Tea Tree Cool & Creamy Wash* from The Body Shop, almost every day. It is described as a deep-cleansing daily wash which leaves skin super-clean, fresh and velvet soft and that's exactly what it is. Being in my late teens, my skin has blemishes and it's quite sensitive too, and I find that this product calms my skin, in some way. I've notice my skin being more even and it says that it works to banish blemish causing bacteria as it contains Tea Tree which is one of natures most potent antibacterials.
To use it, I squeeze a pea sized amount onto my fingertip and apply onto my damp face. Then, I massage lightly in small circular movements across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Lastly, I rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. When you use it the first thing you'll probably notice is the fresh, forest smell, and then you might start feeling a cooling and refreshing sensation. I love that cooling sensation as it makes me relax, somehow. Sometimes, I wait a couple of seconds before rinsing the product off, just to enjoy that cool feeling. It's so cool, it sort of burns sometimes, but in a pleasant way, like a mint chewing gum. After removing it, it leaves the skin matter, softer, fresh, clean and brighter. In addition, I've noticed some reduction of the redness on my face and I think it makes my skin a bit lighter.

Hello everyone. Today's blog post is a little bit different. I've been wanting to blog about some of my university assignments for a while, so I thought I'd do one today, and if you like it, I'll post more in the future. After all, this is a blog about art as well as beauty and fashion. My second Photography project was about Urban Poetry. Let me explain it better, though. The project was about taking photos in any city, with a DSLR camera and without using any sort of editing. The final photos should at least be six, three of them should have graphic elements and the other three should just be about the feeling and spirit of the town. Oh and the term Urban Poetry is metaphorical.

Hello everyone. I hope your week has started well! Mine has been full of changes, so far. To be more specific, we are having some changes done in our home, which I am paying for. The biggest change is the second bathroom. Basically, there's nothing left besides the walls. I have a photo on Instagram. I am so excited to see the finished bathroom. I will definitely post more photos of the process on Instagram.
Today, I am introducing a new series of blog posts. Just Ordered is exactly what the name suggests. I will be featuring items that I've recently ordered online. Last night, while I was checking my e-mails I found one from Romwe about a mid-season sale up to 70% and after a couple of hours of browsing, I finally had chosen what I wanted to get. So here are the three pieces of clothing that I'm waiting to be shipped to my house.
