Makeup Collection by One Direction!

Hello everybody!

 I know it's been a long time since I last wrote in my blog but I was kinda busy with my exams and summer! 

 Today's post is dedicated to my favourite band but I'm sure many of you, my dear readers, know a great pop band named "One Direction". In case you don't know them, they're a British/Irish pop band who finished 3rd in the UK X-Factor back in 2010. Since then, they made a massive breakout with their single "What Makes You Beautiful". 

 After 3 albums ( and the 4th one is coming soon) , 2 DVDs , many books and many many more stuff they have finally launched their Makeup Collection. Their cosmetic collection has been named after their 3 CD albums, i.e. "Up All Night" , "Take Me Home" and "Midnight Memories". 

Up All Night

Blue and pink...My favourite colours when I was younger but after looking at this be-a-utiful set I think you'll love it. An eyeshadow palette with blue - beige colours, I vivid pink lip-gloss and a girly pop pink coloured  lip stick is followed by a blue-ish nail polish and a eyeliner.. So lovers of the blue(and the pink), let's gather together and fight for what we love and want...  

Midnight Memories

I want you to Rock me, rock me, rock me YEAH! (Ok, I know this song is from the "Take Me Home" album but I think it fits perfectly here). Dark colours of black and red are here for you and only you. Again, there's an eyeshadow palette with kinda shimmery neutral shades but black is also here. Dark red lipstick and lip gloss is just the right thing to make your lips irresistible. Black nail polish and eyeliner to make your night - out look just bomb! Just for the hard rock girls. Yay!

Take Me Home

For us, the directioners, they 1D boys are like gold,they're so precious and irreplaceable to us,right? I know that feeling. So, they guys thought what looked better than a (rose) gold makeup set?! And the answer is above. A silver nail polish, a beige - natural eyeshadow palette for your pleasure and only. A light yellow- gold lip gloss and a light pink lip stick is nicely joined by a dark brown eye pencil.

So,unfortunately I don't have some samples for you to swatch. Colourful makeup collections with dark and light shades that matches perfectly with almost every girl's taste is here for you. Pretty and cheeky with a bit of mischievousness. That's how are boys are,right? 

Pretty amazing,huh? Great shades of everything! It's like "50 shades of One Direction"...lol. Um,well this Collection was launched in early August in the USA - if I'm no mistaken - BUT you still have the chance to win one of this great set of makeup stuff! I was regigtered in a site that collaborates with new bloggers and brands and promotes their products through reviews and YouTube videos of young and ambitious bloggers world wide. This site is called BrandBacker and I want to thank them for giving me the chance to organise this amaZayn competition. 

Since, I'm a directioner I want to give this prize to a true fan not just someonce random, that's pretty fair, don't you think? Well, in order to take part in this competition you just have to follow the instruction below... I really hope you win! Go here for more information!

Huge Haul!

Hello everybody!! I'm so very sorry for not blogging those weeks but I'm pretty busy with my university and stuff plus I didn't have something new to show you. BUT I'm gonna make it up to you by doing this amazing spring haul!

So, let's start with.... clothes!

This great shorts is lovely and i really liked its fabric because it's light and denim. The truth is i don't how to wear, like a high-waisted shorts or like a loose boyfriend-type shorts.. We'll see. This one is from Zara and I think it costs around 30Euros (yeah,it's kinda expensive but I found what I looking for!)

This great top is from Pull & Bear! As you may know my favourite colour is blue..not light blue but this kind of blue,the deep, the navy one. So, add the blue and the polka dots and voila! A dreamy top which you can wear from day to night! The cute thing about is its back because there it's got little buttons!

And now my favourite item of all! This beautiful dress. I know it's not colourful and suitable for summer but I like the fabric and it suits me fine!I mean, I have a difficult time finding the perfect dress for me and I know that I couldn't let it go away. It's got stripes(black ones) and the rest of it is a daaark green/grey colour,really nice! It gives me a "Swing" style and that's what makes it amazing. Ps. it's from Zara.

Last but not least, is this mini bag/purse from Pull & Bear! I fell in love with it because you can either use it as a mini bag or as a purse for your night's plans! I chose the white because it matches with everything and because I already have quite a few bags in brown/tobacco colour!

Moving on to beauty stuff!!

My very first Maybelline mascara! So Maybelline
had a discount and I couldn't help myself so I bought it!
The Colossal GO EXTREME Volum'....It makes
your eyelashes BOOM! Super long and thick!

This is "Mac - So Chaud". It's a great vivid red
and it can easily be your necessary lipstick of summer
days.

Rockin' in Brazil!! This Sephora double eyeliner
is what you need for summer!
Black and blue for a night of two! Hohoho!
You can find this double eyeliner in 3 other colours!

This is from Maybelline and it's called
"BrowDrama - Sculpting Mascara" in
medium brown.

This is from "Seventeen" No 01 - Rose.
It's not a matte or shimmery blush but it's  described as
Pearl Blush Powder, with real pearl powder. It's super duper nice!
You can use it a highlighter too if you want! Great colour,very
pigmented!

This kind of shadow is becoming my favourite.
Long lasting,easily applied,great colours, you
can apply as much as you want. It's the
L'Oreal - Colour Tattoo 24hr in "Pink Gold" shade.

Sooo...that's it for today!! I really don't know when I'll be available to post here again but I'll do my best to keep my blog updated! Do NOT forget to follow me please...Write your comments below and let me know what you think of these perfect stuff!

I'm blushing!

 Hello everybody!! Today I'm gonna show you my blush collection...it ain't big but i love it. I don't have different brands but only two - L' Oreal and Maybelline - but I'm planning to buy a sleek blush palette soon! Shall we begin?

First and foremost, I have this L'oreal blush ( No 205 - Honey ). When I bought it a few years ago, I wanted a natural brown colour for my cheeks but when those ladies in drugstores ask me so many questions I get nervous and I tend to choose wrong stuff. So, at first I didn't like that shade and I didn't use it for a long time but then I kinda loved it. It looks like brown/coral/orange blush and because of its bright colour, I don't overdo it with makeup.

Another blush from the same collection is L'oreal blush ( No 120 - Sandalwood Pink ) . I've bought this one a couple of times because I totally love it. It's an everyday blush with a girly pink colour and it matches with everything. Your cheeks look very natural! It's blendable ( and the blush above ) and it lasts for quite a long time.

Moving on, I have two blushes for you and they're from Maybelline. The first one, is a plummy, a bit shimmery blush which I love a lot. I wanted a quite dark colour for winter and then I came across with Tanya Burr's video and I found this great blush. For those of you who don't know her, you should click this link at once. The blush is called "flash plum" and it's a great shade not only for winter but for spring/summer too!! Again, this blush it's blendable and it looks really nice on your cheeks.

Last but not least, it's a creamy blush from Maybelline. It's called Dream Touch Blush in No 04. I used to wear it over a powder blush for extra shine and length but then I tried to wear it alone. I prefer to use it in spring/summer for natural shimmery cheeks and the result is natural and "healthy". You can apply it however you like. As for me, I tried both ways (blush brush and my fingers) and I thought it blends easily with my fingers. However, you can decide which way suits you best.

Below are their swatches so you can see what they look like.

So that was it for today!! I hope you liked it!! Leave your comments below and tell me which one you like the most or which blush of YOUR collection is your favourite! Please, do NOT forget to follow me! Many kisses! xx

"Sun kissed" cheeks!

  Hello everybody! Sorry for not posting as much as you and I would but I'm kinda busy with my university and stuff. So, today my beautiful readers all over the world, i'm gonna talk about "sun-kissed" cheeks - as my title says - aka bronzers.
 Since summer is coming I thought this time of season it's perfect for bronzers so you can be ready to chose the one you like...As for me, I never owned a bronzer before - but i intend to buy one this summer - so I don't know how to apply it exactly. Anyway,below you'll see some products that I chose to present you...

TooFaced Cosmetics:
 Snow Bunny Bronzer $30..Τhis bronzer takes away the redness in your cheeks enough to give it a blended look...plus it is shimmery. With several shades to choose from, you can either apply them individually or sweep across them all to get that "one-of-a-kind" bronzing experience.

Estee Lauder:

 Bronze Goddess Soft Shimmer Bronzer... Different women have wrote their reviews on several website saying : " It doesn't rub off and it creates a natural looking tan on my face" and another said "..this bronzer works miracles. You don't need to apply much to get a nice result..my favourite part is that is gives a natural shimmery(not sparkly) look."

Nars:

 Bronzing Powder $36...This product has the perfect amount of shimmer for your face plus it looks matte but still you have that "out-in-the-sun" glow. In addition to that, it has a beautiful mocha colour that is easily blendable with your skin AND it lasts for 24hrs.

The balm:

 Bahana Mama Bronzer $20...This bronzer is on my wish-list and I really want to buy but another bronzer has got me under its spell(i'll tell you later). As its name say this product will make you feel like your having a Hawaiian tan and it has a bit of sparkle to make your face look like it has a natural sun-kissed skin colour. This completely matte bronzer is highly pigmented but not to brown or orange. Many reviews say that the bronzer isn't shimmery - a biig plus!

TooFaced Cosmetics: 

 Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzing Powder... 

This bronzer is really nice and I highly recommend it although its price because it smells like

chocolate...yum!!!! Besides it's incredibly smell, this bronzer last all day all night (if necessary).

It's matte so there's no shimmery problem if your over do it and it's really easy to blend it.

Bourjois:

 Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder... This bronzer can easily the dupe of the product above (The TooFaced bronzer). It's almost the same, its texture and above all its smell, yes!!Chocolate can be found here too! It's matte and there are two shades for you to pick! This is my favourite bronzer although I don't have it yet but I'm gonna buy it from Asos later this month. 

Sooo,that was it for today! If you have an all time favourite bronzer let me know below or you can tell me which one do you want to buy and why!

Do not forget to follow me - i'll be glad to be friends with you.
