My Week in Pictures: TOP Picks & Updates!

Evening everyone. It's almost midnight and I just remembered that I haven't done this My Week in Pictures post for such a long time!
I have for you some updates and stuff, and I also picked some pics I want to include to this version of My Week in Pictures.
First of all - I really hope you like the new design. It took me hours to get it done, but here it is! Since this blog is sort of about me and the things I love, I went for vintage looking design. The pattern is just so vintage! I love the icons as well! 
I finally got rid of these ugly hearts and I came up with this. Some of you might say that this doesn't look like a fashion/beauty blog since it's darker or it's way too fancy. Many beauty/fashion blogs are bright and they have only a banner. I always wanted/want to be different, so this is how I do it. Like it or not... I like it, haha!

In this special episode of My Week in Pictures I want to show you some things I've been up to (my fave outfits, nails, makeup goodies and some random pics as well). 

When it comes to my style, I'd say it's stylish but edgy at the same time, sometimes bohemian. My current obsessions are high-low dresses and stripes plus some heels, haha! When I go out just to grab some things, I prefer flats. They are always so comfy!


These are my favorite nails I came up with. They are so easy to do! You wouldn't even believe! Sort of water marble effect with no water nails, Chanel nails and some vintage nails!


I'm definitely planning on posting more 'makeup goodies' pictures to Instagram so you guys know, what things are worth it and what things I like! Right now I'm obsessed with the Scandaleyes mascara from Rimmel and with MAC eyeshadow in Concrete!


This is more of a random pic. On the left you can see my new ombré hair I wrote about in the latest post. I'm absolutely in love with my hair right now! It turned out to be so pretty this time! I was watching Michelle Phan's new Summer Favorites video and she recommended the L'Oreal Wild Ombre hair colors, too! So if you're hesitating whether do ombre at home or not, I definitely say yes!!!
On the right you can see a book which a very good friend of my gave me. It's a list of 14,000 things you should be happy about. If you're a depresses person (like I am sometimes) you need to read this book.s It's funny but touching at the same time!


I really hope you liked this special post. Thanks for almost 10, 000 visits!

Re-ombred Hair

Hey cupcakes! I'm here, after a long(er) time and I did a little experiment... again! Actually it was not unexpected or something, since I've been planning this for weeks. 

I re-ombred my hair for the second time. Now I went for blond ends and better fade. I like it a lot more this time, I think it looks quite good :)
I wanted to have that 'Zoella style', I absolutely adore her hair. When I was taking pictures, I used nothing but natural light. Sometimes I feel like my hair looks a little bit orange on pictures, but I promise you - it's a blonde color. I did no editing, except this 'contrast' stuff, which you can't even notice.

I used the same package of the color, but now it's a lighter shade. It came with the brush, highlighting colors, the color itself, a pair of gloves and the paper with instuctions. 



I also used the same method I was using when I was ombreing my hair for the first time. I felt the color on my hair for 45 minutes. 
I definitely must mention, that this time it destroyed my hair a lot! I'm planning to cut the ends tomorrow, so we'll see how it turns out.

If you want to see the first my ombre experience, make sure to visit THIS post. 
But now, here I have some pictures of the result I took:

As I mentioned, it looks quite orange, I have no idea why. In person it's a blond color.

My 'Everyday' Makeup Collection!

Hey girls!
This time I'm not going to talk about the weather, I promise, haha! At first, let's clear the things up! First of all, I want to mention one blog, which has been just created but there are some very interesting things already! That blog is called Tutorials and Reviews by T. & M. which speaks for everything. Make sure to support these girls, I'm sure their blog will be very famous one day, they just need to be patiens. Also check out K's blog, she does amazing makeup looks. Click HERE to enter her blog.
 Okay, the second thing is about the title of this post. I'd like to tell you that this is not my full makeup collection. These are just the things I'm currently using the most. Other makeup products are hiding in a box, they are just waiting for my love since I don't really like them, just not yet.



So this is how I store my everyday things. The box with the lipsticks and stuff is from Pepco and the boxex that you can see are from a dollar shop, but I'm sure you can get then anywhere. The brush holder is a DIY but the face brush holder was a gift. The lipbalm/lipgloss holder is a DIY as well. 



The first part of the box belongs to my lipsticks. These are the ones that I like to use the most. I have two from MAC, the other one is in my makeup bag, then you can see some Rimmel lipsticks, also some from  Maybelline, L'Oreal, NYC, Yves Saint Laurent... I mainly use only vibrant and dramatic colors but I also love the nude ones.





In this part you can see my mini eyeshadow pallets and my mini eyeshadows itself. The first two you can see on the lower left side are from Mary Kay, then I have my Dior palette, some other pallets from Catrice, Essence, Rimmel, Clinique... Next to these I have my MAC mini eyeshadows and some Color Tattoos, and then I have my eyeliners and pencils, mainly from MAC, Cover Girl and Essence. I also keep my Lancome Eyebrow pencil in here.




Here you can see my mascaras. I own quite a few of these (mascaras are an exception, since this is my full collection of mascaras). They are mainly from Maybelline, Rimmel, I have two from Essence, Max Factor, Bobbi Brown... The most favorite of mine would be Scandaleyes by Rimmel. On the bottom of the compartment I also have my eyeshadow primers.



In this compartment I have my most favorite face powders and blushes/bronzers. Mainly from Rimmel, Catrice, Elf, NYC. I also have one powder from Miss Sporty and a blush from Essence.



In this box I keep my currently used foundations, primers and concealers. I have two from Essence, one from Maybelline, Catrice, Bobbi Brown and Rimmel. Then I have some concealers from Catrice, Essence and NYC. And I also keep in here my eyelash curler.



In the second box I keep my bigger eyeshadow palettes such as Naked from Urban Decay, one from Catrice, an H&M palette, and some other random palettes.



In this little DIY box I keep my two favorite lipglosses and three lipbalms. The lipglosses are from Bobbi Brown, NYC and Catrice. My lipbalms are from Essence, Labello and Neutrogina.




Last but now least we have here my top used brushes. Mainly from Elf, Essence and Urban Decay.



That would be it for my everyday collection. Please note, that I'm not showing off, I promised to do this post, so there you go. See you all soon

My TOP 6 SUMMER High-End & Drugstore Lipsticks

Hey girlies!
Well, heats are right around the corner (at least I kinda hope so) and I never wear a heavy makeup during these days so the only thing that is dramatic would be my lipstick!
I always go for something that stands out! Of course, I also have those days when I wear some kind of a smokey eye makeup which means I need to go for a settle lipstick. 
Today I totally want to share with you my TOP 6 lipsticks that I'll be wearing this summer! 


Some of them are on the higher side but you can also find some of them at your local drugstore. I actually love drugstore makeup! The only thing I hate, is when you open up the lipstick and you can see that is has been already used by someone, grrrr.
Oh well, let's see those babies!



So the first lipstick I'll use using and I already use is from MAC in the shade Riveting Rose. It's a creamy pinky color, excellent for the summertime.
Since it's creamy, I like to use it without the lipbalm underneath.



Another baby I love to death is this one by L'Oreal in the shade L'Or Electric. In my opinion this is the perfect lipstick for darker and dramatic makeup worn during the nightime.  I personally love the shade of it, it looks quite shimmery but I promise you - it's not! It's a pretty brownie color.



This beauty right here is a must have while wearing a dark makeup! This is the softest lipstick I've ever tried or used! This moisturizes your lips just like a regular lipbalm! It also gives them a nice nude color, which look fabulous! The lipstick is by Yves Saint Laurent in the shade Silky Sensual.



Moving on to another pop of color, this lipstick is by Maybelline in the shade Rubis Diamonds. I've been using this one the most for the past two weeks! I feel like this color just goes with everything I wear. What I like the most is an eyeliner paired with this color! 


 
When it comes to this lipstick, I got it 3 days ago but I already love it to the moon and back! It looks like it's a purple color, but in person it looks even darker. It's by Rimmel in the shade Electric Plum. I really like their lipsticks since they are good quality and the price is just unbelievable!


 
Last but not least - my tiniest love is from Maybelline in the shade Petal Rebel. Girl, if you're out there with no lipstick from the Whispers collection, you gotta buy one (or four) ASAP! The quality is amazing, they are super lasting and buildable! It's totally up to you if you want to wear a soft lipcolor or a dramatic pop of color - and that's why I fell for them.


So, these were my summer favorites... but what about you?! You totally need to let me know what are your picks! I can't wait to find out.
Lipsticks are good, since they are not sticky at all! And that's what we're going for during the summertime.

I really hope you liked this post! I'll see you all soon.

My Purse Collection!

Hey cherrydrops! I finally got to do the purse collection post! I know... it took me like forever!
I'm a huge fashion addict so I have a lot of purses, too.  For someone it might be way too much, but on the other hand someone might have even more purses (and I'm sure there're definitely some people out there with a bunch of purses, haha).

I have a lot of different purses. I usually prefer the bigger ones but I have a lot of small ones, too! I used to switch up my purse every single day but then I kinda fell in love with my crossbody bag.

I have only one expensive purse from a designer which is my MiuMiu purse which I love to death! I got it 2 or 3 year ago. It was about 150-180€ (I don't remember, sorry).



Let's section this post into three categories: most used purses, small purses and big purses.

In most used purses you will see my babies that go with anything I wear! I also have been wearing these purses a lot lately! 

In small purses you'll see some ellegant purses as well as some handy purses for your must-have goodies.

And last but not least, in big purses you'll able to see some extra size purses that I wear to school or to bigger shopping events.

Please note, that I'm not trying to show off. This collection was requested so I thought I could share it with all of you. Some purses were not purchased by me, since I got them as a present. Other purses were purchased by me.

Special thanks to my loyal photographer (my brother bitch) for helping me with this post. thank you!

I really hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did. Thanks for you support.
