I caved in and put a stop to my spending ban.
Naturally I went to Boots and took advantage of the amazing offers they had. I
ended up getting three face products and three things for my hair. I was very
excited to try all three of the make-up bits and just because I haven’t seen
any reviews about them from other bloggers, I decided to write one myself.

Spring Fever: A Different Lookbook
A few days
ago I rediscovered my early teenage love – Polyvore. Ever since then I have
been making sets non-stop (you can even see some of them in my previous blog post). I thought that this could be a very easy and fun way to show you a few
looks that I think would be great for the upcoming spring.

It's All About MASCARA
If you ask a girl to choose only three make-up
products to use for the rest of her life, there is a big chance that mascara is
going to be one of them. It is a logical decision, though; on lazy days when
the only going out for me is food shopping, I don’t even bother with concealer
or lipstick. Good mascara can widen your eyes and make them look bigger and
more awake, which makes it the perfect go-to product when you’re not feeling
like making an effort for your face.

Face Of The Day: Gold Dust
Ever since I got
the Naked 3, I haven't been able to stop trying out different looks with it
(you can see my previous tutorial here). I am a big fan of gold eye shadow
which is why Trick is one of my favorites in the set and I decided to use it as
a base for this look.
Nails Of The Week: Shiny Bright Red
In my desperate attempts to be creative with my
nails, and by that I mean use colours I don’t normally use, I had completely
neglected my all-time favourite bright red. That’s why I decided it’s time I
change that, so I took one of my red polishes and painted my nails with it.

Beauty Wishlist 2: I can but I really shouldn't
Ever since
I went on a spending ban two weeks ago, I stopped being up to date with the
offers in the the beauty shops. However, tonight I decided to go on the Boots
website and saw that they are doing 3 for 2 on a lot of make-up and
accessories. At first I felt an overwhelming urge to buy everything I had ever
wanted, but somehow I managed to pick only three products.

Face Of The Day: Naked Three
Yesterday I
received one of the most generous gifts ever, the Naked 3 palette. My rose gold
obsession started with this and now that I have it, I am over the moon and I
had to try it out as soon as possible. At first I was a bit hesitant when I saw
how pink it actually is, but after I was done with the look I saw how soft and
natural it all was.

Sunday - Funday
After what
was probably the most uneventful week of my life (which is why I barely posted
anything last week), I decided that I should at least spend the only sunny day
outside of my room. I knew that one of my best friends that lives in Central
London hasn't been to Regents Park and Primrose Hill, which happen to be two of
my favourite places in the whole world, so I called her and suggested that we
go there for a long walk. I was so glad when she said yes that I spent the rest
of the day planning out where we would go and what we would do. Naturally most
of that didn’t happen, but we had an amazing day nonetheless!

Nails Of The Week: Mocha
After rediscovering my pink matte nail polish
last week, I couldn’t help but to go and buy a couple of more polishes like
that. Since one of the colours is something I would normally wear (burgundy), I
decided to be adventurous this time and try something new.

Superdrug Face Masks Review
On my last
visit to Superdrug (you can check out the haul here) I picked up three face
masks from the shop’s own brand. What a surprise, I bought face masks. Over the
past week I have tried all of them and here are my thoughts on their
quality.

Face of the day: Daytime Green Smokey Eyes
The other
day I did a Face Of The Day tutorial, which I quite enjoyed writing, so today I
decided to show you how I got my wearable daytime smokey eye. I have always
found the combination of beige, brown and green to be absolutely beautiful,
both in clothes and make-up. I wore a cream jumper, dark jeans and a pair of
nude wedge ankle boots, so I thought that a brownish green eye make-up would go
perfectly with my outfit.

Weekly Beauty Favourites
For the past week as well as using my usual
products, I have tried to incorporate some things in my routine from my beauty
collection that I had neglected for a while. Turns out I have some hidden gems
there and they ended up in my weekly favoutites. Here are what I have been
loving the past week:

Face Of The Day: Eyes Full Of Shimmer
Lately I have been less afraid to experiment
with my eye make-up. Usually I just put a matte brown eye shadow all over my
lid and add a few coats of mascara and I’m good to go. Now I have been playing
more with shimmery shadows on my upper eyelid, as well as my lower lash line,
and have also started using more liquid eyeliner too.
Today I felt inspired by the sunny weather and wore
only shimmery shadows on my eyes, black liquid eyeliner and a hint of red on my
lips.
Nails Of The Week: Matte Neon Pink
I was going through my nail polish collection
yesterday and I came across a beautiful matte bright pink colour. I realized
that I have worn it only once or maybe twice for the whole year I’ve owned it,
so I decided it’s time that I took off the shimmery dark red and put on this
one. I went back to short nails because the long ones made it hard for me to do
basically anything and they were also getting very brittle and that made my
nail polish barely last for two or three days. Hopefully now they are going to
be in a better condition because I am very excited for this colour!
