Manicure Monday: Gel

On Friday I went to get my nails done at a salon I hadn't been to before. I was pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere, beautiful interior and amazing service. It was my first experience with gel nail polish as well, but it definitely won't be the last. Basically, if you haven't tried it either, the difference is that you put your fingers under a light, which "bakes"the nail polish and it dries that way. It last extra long too - up to a month. It's convenient if you have a busy schedule and rarely find time to do your nails or are tired of constantly having them chip or peel. It's a bit pricier too, but it saves you so much time, so I think it's worth the splurge every now and then.  В петък отидох на маникюр в салон, който не бях посещавала досега....

Guest Review: Dior Addict IT-LASH Mascara

My guest today is one of my closest and lovely friends, Deni. She's going to share her experience with the Dior Addict It-Lash mascara. I have never been too picky about what mascara I use, whatever I like in the store, I usually buy. That being said, I prefer getting a full but natural effect and recently I’ve come into the possession of the Dior It-Lash Mascara, which gives just that effect, if not better. On applying it you can immediately notice the difference you get in your lashes- they look longer, bolder, but surprisingly natural- no clumps whatsoever. The application itself is very easy and smooth and the colour comes off as vibrant and opaque. The wand is very sturdy so it’s easy to control and to minimise any mistakes you might make with more flimsy...

I'm in the Mafia

Coat: Vintage // Sweater: H&M // Jeans: Bershka // Heals: I don't even know // Sunglasses: DM I feel very Russian with this coat and I'm in love with the faux fur. Today the weather was great (around 5 degrees, compared to -10 the past few days) and I took the chance to go out for a walk. I still can't quite comprehend that I have 3 exams coming up next week. It's all good, life goes on haha. I went even lighter with my hair by the way and I'm enjoying being blonde so much. Sooo, that was my mini life update. What have you been up to lately? Чувствам се като рускиня с това палто и съм влюбена в изкуствената кожа. Днес времето беше страхотно (около 5 градуса, в сравнение с -10 последните няколко дни) и поех възможността да изляза на разходка. Все още не...

Mixa Cleansing Micellar Water Review

I wanted to try a micellar water, since I hadn't before and I was looking to up my game in the skincare department, because I'm tired of outbreaks. So, I saw this one in the store and it was kind of an impulse buy. I've been testing it for a few days and I've tried removing different types of make-up. I'm a bit disappointed, when it comes to eye make-up, because it took a lot of effort and a decent amount of time to remove just one layer of non-waterproof mascara. It specifically says on the bottle that "the scrubbing is minimal" and you need "just one gentle swipe to clean the make-up off your eyes and face". Well, that's a lie.  It doesn't really have a specific smell and it doesn't sting my eyes, but it doesn't do its job as said either. The way I use it now is after I've...

Independence

Okay, so I totally had planned to make a different post today and I even took the photos, but all of that is going to have to wait, because I have something much more important and closer to my heart to talk about.  By "Independence" I mean financial, emotional and mental stability, not relying on anyone to provide something for you, being that money, time or affection. My observations, however, are mainly on relationships and the way girls change when they are in one. A meeting with friends triggered me today and I don't want these friends to be offended by my post, because I love them. Although I get their actions and the way they think, I just have a different mindset.  My Experience of Being in a Relationship I have only been in one serious relationship and a couple...

GIVENCHY Blush Memoire De Forme Review

Givenchy has been one of my favourite high fashion brands for ages and buying my first products from it was an absolute dream come true. I feel lucky to be able to have this and I don't, in any way, want this post to be interpreted as bragging. High-end make-up is my weakness and I'm guilty of indulging.  Givenchy от векове е една от любимите ми модни марки и да купя първите си продукти от нея беше сбъдната мечта. Чувствам се като късметлийка, защото мога да си ги позволя и по никакъв начин не искам тази публикация да се интерпретира като хвалене. Луксозната козметика ми е слабост и съм виновна, че се поддавам. The star of the show is this blush - Blush Memoire De Forme. It comes in this square glass jar and the lid is very tight. The packaging is classy and looks expensive. Звездата...

Guest Review: Neutrogena Hand Cream

I decided to try something new. Because I have a limited amount of beauty products and my opinion on one can be different from that of another person, I will invite guests to the blog, who will share their impressions on products they've tried. My first guest is my mom and she will talk about her favourite hand cream. P.S. The photos are mine, but the words - hers :) In the Winter time, because of the cold, the skin on my hands dries out a lot and even becomes chapped. I've tried different hand creams, but I got the best results with this one. I first came across it about two years ago and since then the state of my skin has improved significantly. I apply it once a day - in the evening before going to bed and I use very little of it, which is enough. The consistency is...

Goodbye, 2014!

And hello, 2015! These photos summarize my year and show some of my highlights. I started the year off with dark brown hair, naive and in a relationship. I can proudly say that my life has changed so much in just a few months and I have accepted that change well. In May I graduated from highschool and had my final exams. In June I started this blog, which has been one of the best decisions I have made this year. I had a bad summer and in September my long relationship ended (for good I hope), but I started college. I jumped in a new relationship too fast and a month later I ended it, but it was all a learning experience for me. All of my closest friends went to study abroad, but I got a new friend - my Jack Russell puppy Aria. She's the best little ball of energy...
