LITTLE GREY DRESS

ENG:

I just love when autumn comes. Of course nothing tops summer, but I can also live with autumn because temperatures aren't very low yet. Also one of my favourite things about it are vivid colours, leaves falling and sun still shining bright.

Autumn really makes me feel like wearing dresses and skirts even more and I'm not sure why. I love wearing them in summer as well but autumn just makes them look more cute. I also looove tights underneath any dress. And then you just add a cute accessory and girl you are good to go. Wearing these kind of clothes really makes me feel more beautiful and I feel like I'm someone else. It brings out the feminine side of me and I like it especially if I add a pair of heels. By the look of the first picture you already know what today's post is going to be about: me obsessing over a dress *wink*

It was the most gorgeous sunny day but to be honest it was one of them colder days. I was definitely not expecting that. So my sister and I decided to take some outfit photos. I immediately knew I was going to wear my grey flowy dress from H&M which I actually bought last year and I only wore it twice since then. So of course I wanted to show it off a little more and what a better way than on my blog. This dress is so comfortable and I love the black detailing on the sides because it makes my waist appear thinner (what girl doesn't love that xD). I have to admit that it is a bit short but when I wear a pair of tights I don't have any problems with that. I added a basic long necklace and a black choker from Accessorize. That was everything I wanted to have as an outfit that day. Of course I also had a small shoulder bag from Pimkie and a pair of boots also from H&M.

I really like these kind of outfits because they're so versatile. I could wear it to any event I thought of + I think it really shows autumn vibes. I really like layering in autumn but with this outfit I kept it really simple. You can also add a chunky scarf and a pair of knee high socks over the tights. I think that would look super cute and so school proper.

That is it for today's post. I hope you like it. You can leave me a comment telling me what you llike about autumn. See you next time.

Ko pride jesen, sem tako navdušena. Seveda nič ne more premagati poletja ampak jesen je dokaj blizu saj temperature niso še tako nizke. Poleg tega so mi všeč te tople barve, ki so na drevesih, kako odpada listje in to, da nas sonček še vedno kar dobro greje.

Po pravici povedano me v jeseni najbolj pritegne nositi razne oblekce in kikle, čeprav ne vem zakaj. Seveda jih nosim tudi poleti, ampak se mi zdi, da jih jesen polepša hihi. Z oblekami pa naravnost obožujem nositi žabe. Zraven imaš še kakšen modni dodatek in si pripravljen na super dan pred tabo. Takšna oblačila se mi zdi, da zbudijo mojo žensko stran, kar mi seveda zelo paše. Če še dodaš kakšne čevlje s peto, potem si pa res zadela. Seveda po prvi sliki že veste o čem bom govorila-o moji obsesiji nad res luškano oblekco.

Tisti dan je izgledal res lep in sončen, vendar so bile temperature dokaj nizke. Nekaj kar res nisem pričakovala. S sestro sva se odločili, da narediva par fotografij za najin blog. Takoj sem vedela, kaj hočem  obleči. Izbrala sem super fajn obleko iz H&M-a, ki sem jo sicer kupila prejšnje leto, ampak sem jo nosila samo dvakrat. Seveda sem jo hotela malo razkazati in se mi je zdela super ideja da to naredim kar na mojem blogu. Res je zelo udobna in najbolj mi je všeč, da ima na strani črn detajl, ki ti naredi pas bolj ozek (super zadevca res). Obleka je malo krajša, ampak ko pod njo oblečem žabe s tem nimam več težav. Za nakit sem izbrala dve verižici-eno dolgo in eno črno choker verižico in obe sta iz Accessorize. To je dejansko vse kar imam. Seveda brez torbice ne gre. Tale je iz Francije iz trgovine, ki se imenuje Pimkie in pa škorenjčki iz H&M-a.

Outfit je res preprost in se mi zdi, da je primeren za vse priložnosti. Pomoje bi bilo super tudi, če bi dodala en res velik šal in pa celo nogavice do kolen-to bi bil pa res čisti jesenski outfit.

To je to za današnji post. Lahko mi pustite komentar in mi poveste,kaj je vam všeč, ko pride jesen. Do naslednjič.

L'occitane Arlesienne

SLO:

Lepotne objave so zmeraj bile moja šibka točka. Seveda sem jih nekaj že napisala, vendar vsakič ko začnem pisati novo, postanem malo živčna, ker ne vem kako bo izpadlo in ali bo v njej dovolj potrebnih informacij. Seveda nisem mojstrica na tem področju, ampak rada testiram nove stvari. Mislim da vsaka punca komaj čaka da poseže po novih izdelkih, še posebej, če je to L'occitane.

Pred kratkim sem prejela 2 nova produkta od L'occitanove nove linije, ki se imenuje Arlesienne. Dobila sem glos za ustnice in pa seveda njihovo znano kremo za roke. Takoj prvi vtisi, ko sem preizkusila oba izdelka, so bili osredotočeni na vonj. Resnično ne vem kako jim zmeraj uspe narediti tako dobre vonjave. Kadarkoli preizkusim kakšen njihov izdelek, me vonj zmeraj premami. Po pravici povedano nisem nikoli bila obsedena z raznimi parfumi ali pa naparfumiranimi izdelki, ampak pri L'occitanu pa komaj čakam, da zavoham kaj novega.

Prvi produkt, ki sem ga preizkusila je bil glos za ustnice. Sama nisem nikoli imela njihov glos, saj sem zmeraj imela oči samo za njihovo kremo za roke. Vsakokrat, ko si jo nanesem, se moje roke počutijo, kot da so v nebesih hihi. Kar se tiče glosa, nisem imela kakršnih koli pričakovanj, ker, kot sem že rekla, nimam z njim veliko izkušenj. Ko sem si ga nanesla, se je zdel zelo nežen. Seveda te vonj takoj premami ampak sem takoj tudi opazila, da ni lepljiv ali kaj podobnega. Podoben je balzamu za ustnice z manjšimi dodatki, kot te, da ima sijaj in da je v njemu tudi malo pigmenta, ki pa vsekakor ni vpadljiv. Izdelek je res super in se mi celo zdi fajn za zimske dni, ki so praktično že tu, da malo popestrijo ustnice. Glede zdravilnega učinka pa ne morem komentirati, ker ga na ta način nisem testirala. Glede na to, da je to prvi izdelek za ustnice, ki sem ga probala od L'occitana, sem bila zelo pozitivno presenečena.

O kremi pa res nimam kaj dosti novega za povedati. Zmeraj sem bila nora nanje in nikoli nisem imela z njimi slabih izkušenj. Vsakič, ko jo nanesem na roke se sprašujem kako jim uspe narediti tako mehko kremo. Res izjemno. Zdijo se mi tudi zelo primerne za zimo, saj res navlažijo roke in jih pustijo mehke. Seveda je tu vonj dodaten bonus, tako da s tem res ne morete zgrešiti. Krema je res top in mislim, da bo všeč tudi tebi, ko jo preizkusiš.

Hotela sem ti tudi pokazati majhen DIY, ki sem ga naredila s tem luškanim trakcem od L'occitana. Povabili so me, da nekaj z njim ustvarim in ker rada delam razne frizurce, sem se odločila, da ga vpeljem v frizuro (z manjšo pomočjo moje mame). Sama nisem nikoli ustvarjala s trakovi, tako da je to moja prva izkušnja. Upam da vam bo všeč.

P.S.: Ta kolekcija izide v Sloveniji 3. novembra. Imeli bodo tudi mleko za telo, milo za roke, parfum, gel za prhanje ipd. Če si z L'occitanom obsedena tako kot jaz, potem ne pozabi pokukati v njihovo trgovino in preizkusiti nekaj novega.

Beauty posts are definitely something I'm not most comfortable with. I've done some of it in the past of course, but every time I prepare myself to do a new one I always freak out a little bit inside me because I never know if it's going to turn out okay. I'm not an expert when it comes to beauty but I do love to test different  things out. I'm a girl, of course I want to try a new lipstick, eyeshadow palette or in this case a new range from L'occitane called Arlesienne.

I had an opportunity  to recieve 2 of the products from L'occitane's new line. I received a lipgloss called Delicious gloss and their famous Velvet hand cream. When I first tried both of the products I was of course immediately amazed by the scent. I don't know how but L'occitane never fails to amaze me with their scents. Whenever I try any product of theirs,, I'm instantly blown away by the smell of it. To be honest I was never a big freak when it comes to scented things, but with this brand I never mind the different fragrances.

So as I was saying I received their gloss which I never actually tried before. I always went for their hand creams because they're an absolute dream and my hands always feel so smooth when I apply it on. I didn't expect much from the gloss because I didn't know if it's any good. When I applied it on my lips it felt really smooth. Of course the scent was there and I loved it, but it also wasn't sticky or anything. It felt like some sort of a lipbalm and it also added a little shine to your lips which is a bonus definitely. I also noticed that it did have a tiny bit of pigmentation in it but nothing serious. In my opinion it is similar to lipbalm. Although I cannot tell if it has a protective effect because I hadn't tried it in that way. All in all I liked this product and the fact that this is my first lip product from L'occitane, I'm positively impressed.

For the hand cream I don't have anything new to say. I always loved them and I never had any bad experiences with them. Every time I put it on my hands I always wonder how they manage to make such soft creams. When I apply this cream, my hands are literally in heaven. They're absolutely amazing. They're also perfect for winter. Of course another bonus is the new smell. I am obsessed with it and I'm sure you'll be also when you try it out.

I also wanted to share with you a little DYI. I also received this cute pink ribbon from L'occitane and they challenged me to do something creative with it. Since I love making hairstyles I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my hair. To be honest I never used a ribbon in my hair before. I've seen a lot of amazing hairstyles with it, but I never thought I could make anything good with it. Now I had an opportunity and this is what I created (with a bit of help from my mom because she also loves making new hairstyles). Hope you like it.

P.S.: The launch of the new range is November 3rd (at least in Slovenia). They will also have new fragrance, body milk, shower gel and more. If you're a freak like me when it comes to L'occitane, then don't forget to check it out.

HOW TO WEAR DUNGAREES

ENG:

Warm days are already over here in Slovenia and I am so bumped about it because I'm a summer girl and I really cannot stand low temperatures. If I could, I would sleep through the winter and I would wake up in May-just in time to get me new bathing suit and book a hotel next to the perfect beach. We all know that's not possible so I will just have to find the best way to survive this coldness. Don't get me wrong, I love love love winter when I'm at home all cozy and just watching the snow falling down and I have a cup of tea in my hands. I love this picture of winter but not the part where I have to get up at 6AM, still dark outside, probably snowing and public transport running late. Now that's definitely the worst part of winter.

Anyways I didn't write this post to complain about winter, but because I wanted to share with you this outfit that isn't the most wintery or anything like that. It's actually the outfit I fell in love with while I was in Paris. It's so simple but still looks nice. I've been to Paris 2 weeks ago and I actually bought this pair of dungarees for the trip. When I first started styling it, I came across a problem. For my top I wanted to have a sweater because I was certain it was going to be cold in Paris, but since dungarees themselves are quite wide and not skinny, I realised this isn't an option. So I searched through my closet and I finally found a piece of clothing that could have a good potential for my outfit and I wasn't wrong. I found this cute burgundy short-sleeved bodysuit from H&M. Then I decided I want to roll up dungarees and I added black varsity jacket. To finish the look, which I wanted it to be quite sporty and comfortable, I wore at the moment my favourite sneakers - they are Nike Air Force 1.

I was so pleased with this outfit and I don't even know why. It's nothing special but I am still obsessed with it.I guess because I always wanted to have dungarees in my closet and now I finally found the perfect pair. I tried a pair of dungarees in H&M but they were so skinny I felt like I was going to die and it made my butt look weird upss. When it comes to this type of pants, I certainly prefer the ones that are more loose/baggy. They're a bit harder to style with BUT nothing is impossible. I just proved that to you and to myself. Now excuse me while I go and try to come up with some new outfits with these pants.

Let me know if you even like dungarees or do you think this is something it should've stayed in the 90s. Have a lovely day :)

SLO:

Topli dnevi v Sloveniji so že kar precej za nami, kar me zelo žalosti saj sem definitivno punca, ki bi celo življenje imela poletje. Nizke temperature so res ena izmed stvari, ki jih ne prenesem. Če bi imela možnost hibernirati celo zimo, kakor to delajo nekateri medvedje, bi to zagotovo storila. Zbudila bi se nekje maja, kar je pravi čas za nakup novih kopalk in rezervirala top hotel takoj ob morju. Seveda so tole le pobožne želje, tako da bom morala najti način kako preživeti mraz. Samo da se razumemo, da jaz obožujem zimo, vsaj tisti del, kjer si v stanovanju na toplem, si skuhaš en čajček in gledaš čez okno kako sneg lepo pada, po možnosti si najdeš še knjigo in imaš popoln dan. Tisti del, ki me res iritira je ta, da ko zgodaj vstajaš, je zunaj še vedno noč, ko moraš nekam iti ravno začne snežiti in posledično zamujajo vsi avtobusi in vlaki, na cesti pa je kot ponavadi gneča. To je res najbolj beden del cele zime.

Kakor koli, tele objave nisem napisala (samo) zato, da se pritožujem nad zimo, ampak predvsem, ker imam danes pripravljeno outfit objavo. Tale look je dokaj poletni oziroma ni ravno za tele mrzle dneve, ki so trenutno v Sloveniji in sem trenutno vanj dobesedno zaljubljena. Nosila sem ga pred 2 tednoma, ko sem šla na počitnice v Pariz. Seveda je osrednji kos tega look-a 'delovni pajac'. Iskala sem ga kar nekaj časa in ko sem ga končno našla, sem bila najbolj srečno bitje na svetu. Našla sem ga v Kiku za 16,90€ - deal in pol J Mela sem manjši problemček, ko sem ga začela stilirati. Pod njim sem hotela obleči malo bolj debel pulover, ki ni najbolj oprijet, ampak sem videla, da to ne bo šlo, ker so hlače že same po sebi kar precej široke. Nekaj časa sem brskala po omari ni končno našla fajn majčko. Vzela sm bodi iz H&M-a za 10€, čez pa sem navlekla jopico. Za piko na i sem zavihala hlačnice in obula moje trenutno najljubše superge Nike Air Force 1.

Na koncu sem bila res zadovoljna z outfitom pa sploh ne vem zakaj, ker res ne zgleda nič posebnega. Verjetno zato, ker sem dolgo časa iskala takšnele hlače in ko sem jih končno našla, so me čisto prevzele. Pred temi hlačami sem preizkusila še ene iz H&M-a, vendar so bile tako oprijete, da sem komaj dihala v njih pa še moja rit je izgledala ne najbolj privlačno upss. Verjetno mi pri teh hlačah bolj ustreza če so široke in udobne. Zaradi tega jih res malo težje stiliraš, če želiš imeti bolj šik outfit. Seveda ni nič nemogoče, kar sem že dokazala in vam in sebi, ko sem ustvarila tale look. Sedaj pa grem probat stilirat še kaj s temi hlačami in upam da mi uspe.

So vam sploh všeč take hlače ali bi raje, da so ostale v 90-ih? Imejte se fajn :)

LJFW 2016

Hello my lovely readers. Today I wanted to share with a few of the highlights from Ljubljana Fashion Week that lasted from 18th to 20st September. My sister (her blog) and I went the last day and we saw the last two shows.
This was a totally new experience. We've never been to a real fashion show (except when I used to train for a model but that was a loooong time ago) so you can imagine us being pretty excited about it. It was held in the Slon hotel. When we arrived there it was all very fancy. I saw a lot of amazing outfits and a lot of people.
The first show started at 19.00. The designers that presented themselves were Maja Ferme, Nejc Skubic and Sanija Reja Aske. They are all Sovenian fashion designers. Maja Ferme Fashion is on the top of the Slovenian designers and is even known for some of the famous people such as Monica Bellucci and Anna Netrebko. She's travelled the world and never ceases to amaze her costumers. Nejc Subic is a young designer that started his path in high school and continued it at the Faculty of science and engineering in the department of textile. Soon he's won a lot of awards and has gotten a lot of experiences to cooperate with some of the known brands all over the world. Sanija Reja Aske studied at the Faculty of science and engineering in the department of textile. From there she became a part of Young @ Squat crew, which is a group of designers that have a great influence in the fashion industry here in Slovenia. She is mostly known for her roughness that is seen in belts and harnesses that are a part of the collections and lately her collection has gotten more feminine.
I've already heard about Maja Ferme and I always loved her work and the way how she creates something new and always looks amazing on the other hand I've never heard about Nejc Subic and Sanija Reja. Right now I'm really glad I got to see them because I was really impressed by their work and I realized that you don't have to go to Paris or London to see amazing creators. I loved the whole collection from both of them.

The next show was at 21.00 and the designers that presented themselves were Young@Squat which is a group of young designers that have a chance to sow their talent and gain new experience, Natasa Hrupic is a brand created by Nataša Hrupič in 2005. Her collections are mostly known for duality. She always creates new clothing designs but everything still stays very feminine. The last designer is Petja Zorec who is a very young designer. Shealawys combines different fabrics which results in very casual clothing, playful or even appropriate for work. She designs menswear with emphasis on knitwear.
Again I only knew the first group of designers through my sister but I was definitely not disappointed by the other two. In fact my favourite of them all was Natasa Hrupic. Her collection was truly amazing and inspiring.

Before the fashion shows started we planned to take some pictures for our blogs and that is exactly what I'm going to show you today. I opted for a jumpsuit that has a golden top, just to make the outfit a bit more fancy. At first I was all ready to wear my pointed heels from Bershka but I changed my mind the last minute and I'm not really sure why. Instead I chose white ballet flats with a golden detail on them. I added a khaki blazer on top of that and a black rucksack/purse. Hope you like it and I'll talk to you soon.

Fall is coming

Hello everyone.
Not long ago I bought myself a new camera which is the Olympus Pen E-PL7. The reason for that is pretty obvious-I didn't have a camera of my own and I wanted one that isn't too big or heavy. My sister has a Nikon and it's great and all but it's a bit bulky for me. I also like it because it's great for travelling and I can put it in my purse with ease.

I also want to give a quick update how this week is going so far. Maja and I went to two events. The first one was Ljubljana Fashion Week which was on Tuesday and it was really fun. It was our first time being there so it was something new for both of us. We had a few drinks and saw two of the fashion shows. I was really impressed by how everyone was dressed-they put a lot of effort in their outfits. All in all the experience was great. The next day we were invited to the launch of the new fragrance by Avon. This was probably the cutest thing ever. There were around 20 of us and the event itself was so nice. We chatted with everyone and tried the perfume. We also heard the background story of how the fragrance was made and also that it was made by Kenzo Takada which is pretty cool. At least for me :D We also received the fragrance ourselves for us to try at home and a body lotion and a body spray from the same line Avon Life. This event was such a lovely thing to be at. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Now it's Friday and we need to start packing for our trip to Paris. We are going on Monday for 5 days and I can't wait because I didn't have a proper vacation just yet. I worked all the time but now I can finally take a break. I hope I'll take a lot of pictures with my new camera for you guys to see.

So for this post I decided to test this beauty and see how the pictures will turn out. I have an outfit post for you and it's pretty casual mainly because I got myself a new pair of sneakers which are the Nike Air Force 1 that I wanted for a few years now and I finally treated myself with them. I paired them with my all-time favourite ripped jeans from Primark and this long grey sweater from H&M which is also a new purchase. I added this cute purse/rucksack. The size of it is per-fect. You can fit so many things in it and that is what I need when I go to town or I have errands to do.
Hope you guys enjoy this post and let me know what you think about the pictures and the quality of them. Enjoy **

UPDATE 101

Hey guys, long time no see. I decided to take a break from blogging but honestly I just wasn't in the mood to write or take pictures and I also wasn't feeling inspired. I guess I had some sort of a blogging slump and it took me 6 months to get back into it. Maja did take a few pictures of me nad my outfit so I do have some material, but like I said it just wasn't the right feeling and I didn't want to force anything on myself.

These past six months have been very relaxing. I passed some of the exams that I still had from previous school year, I attended some extra classes because I had a lot of free time and when I start a new school year, I will already have made a few exams. So basically I relieved myself for the next school year that starts in October. I also started a summer job in the middle of June. I work in a store that sells baby clothes, toys,... Everything you need for a baby :) some of the customers can be SO annoying but luckily my co-workers are amazing and they always helped me get out of certain annoying situations. I really like working here because it's so nice and my co-workers are the sweetest-they are helpful and cheerful all the time. I have one week left and then I have 2 more exams that I need to pass because I want to and I will be thrilled if I do :D After that I am free as a bird. In September I will have my vacation because these last two and a half months all I did was work. I can't wait to just chill, read more books and at the end of September my mom, Maja and I booked a trip to Paris eeeep. I am so excited to go because I haven't been anywhere this year and I've also never been to Paris. I can't wait to see the Eiffel tower, to try macarons, go shopping and of course I am most excited for the Louvre and Versailles.

It was also my birthday on July 10th and I invited some of my friends and we had a lovely picnic in the park. It was so nice. I also need to mention that I bought and received a lot of books during this period of time. This is probably the most exciting thing for me to be honest. I will do a post on that and I will show you my latest purchases. While I'm writing this post I am coming up with few ideas for my blog and I got to tell you- I'm loving it :)

My plans for the future? I'm not sure exactly, but I do know that I will write more posts and just share everything that I do here on my blog. I also have an event coming up which is called Beauty Bloggers Meet up. It's basically a Slovenian meet up for us bloggers and I am really happy about that because these things don't happen here much often. It will be on October 7th and I will tell you all about it when I visit it.

Untill then I will share with you other fun things and I hope you'll like it.

Today I will show you some pictures from my cousins wedding. I wore a simple dusty-rose dress from Topshop and I paired it with necklaces that are from Accessorize. I also added a pair of black heels from Humanic. I found them a day before we had to leave for wedding. I couldn't find a perfect pair of shoes anywhere, but fortunately the luck was on my side and I got them just in time. I was relieved and ready for the wedding. You can also check out our new video about the wedding HERE.

Let me know how you get ready for weddings and if you like them.

Untill next time, Leja

Dress: Topshop

Shoes: Humanic

Jewelry: Accessorize, Six (necklaces), H&M (rings)

PRECIOUS METALS HIGHLIGHTING PALETTE

Hello  lovelies,

today I want to take about a thing that I've been obsessed with for the last month. I received this amazing highlight palette in my mail a couple of months ago and it is Sleek Precious Metals Highlighting Palette.

When I first got this product, I was a bit clueless about it. I mean I know what a highlighter is, but I've never owned one and I also never used it- EVER. So receiving this product was a perfect thing. It comes in four shades and they are of creamy consistency I am literally obsessed with highlighters. I cannot believe I lived without them for so long. It makes my check bones AMAZING and my skin in general really glowy. I cannot stop praising this palette. I really like the creamy consistency. I recently used a highlighter in a powder and I was not impressed by it. I think you have to put a lot of product on your face to get the desired effect but if it's creamy - little goes a long way. Maybe this is just the case when it comes to my skin, but I really think creamy highlighters are so much easier to apply and much more intensive. I apply my highlighter with my middle finger just above my blush. I  also like to put it on my cupid's bow because it makes my whole face look fresh. I use the lightest one in the palette because I my skin is VERY pale and this one's the only one that suits my skin tone. The finish is metalic so it has a sheen to it. It's not a matte finish which I prefer to be honest.

This palette has a really good staying power and is in overall a good product. I would really like to say that if you're going to buy it, use it carefully because if not, you'll end up looking like a glow stick. I can easily say that highlighters have become my favourite makeup product and I'm always excited when I apply it. It really makes a huge difference to a whole makeup look you're wearing. If you don't use it - consider getting it. Unless you have a naturally glowing skin, then I envy you ;)

For all my Slovenian readers you can get this product here: http://bit.ly/1oOJ00p

And for everyone else, I found it on the Sleek's official site: http://bit.ly/1QpQ61p

Let me know if you like highlighters like I do ( I'm obsessed with them but okay...) and what is your favourite one. Have a lovely day.

QUELLE SURPRISE

Hello ladies. Today I have a very interesting post for you. I recently received an amazing gift by my amazing sister (her blog). It's my very first Mac product and it is this gorgeous lipstick. I couldn't have been more happier with this because out of all products she could've chosen she gave me the one I will use the most. When I'm doing my makeup, the best thing to apply is any sort of lip product. I became really obsessed with them and I especially like wearing more red, orange and purple shades, whereas Maja likes the nudes more (we kind of don't match in this area :P). Anyways I'm sure you've all guessed by now that I will do a review on this lipstick and let's see if it's really worth the money.

Ever since I started watching Youtube videos and beauty gurus I got a bit curious about the high end makeup products. I saw so many bloggers talk about so many brands and their products and it really intrigued me to have some but that of course wasn't possible for a 16 year old me so I was 'stuck' with the drugstore products (which a lot of them are actually great). Now this has ended because of my first high end product.

Lipstick is in the shade called Quelle Surprise and it is this deep purply colour which is absolutely perfect for fall/winter. I would wear it more in winter because of its intensiveness (is that a word?). The packaging is the standard one-black/silver. When I first got to hold this product I noticed that the packaging doesn't feel and it doesn't look cheap. It's actually quite heavy in comparison to drugstore lipsticks. So that was a nice thing to experience but then again it never really bothered me if the packaging didn't look so 'expensive' (unless it broke immediately...).

It has a nice smell and when I first applied it, it had a quite creamy consistency so it doesn't have a matte finish. It also says on the packaging: 'Cremesheen Lisptick'. Because it's such an intense colour I used it in combination with lipliner which was by a brand S-he in the shade 003 and let me tell you guys that it matched perfect and it was only around 2 or 3 €. You can tell that it's not the best quality but I don't care because it's less than a freakin' Mac lip liner which is 16,50$. I like this alternative.

So I really liked this product and the richness of the colour. The next thing I really liked about this product is that it kept my lips hydrated. I didn't have a feeling of my lips being dry so that was a big plus for me.

The only thing that it did bother me was the staying power. The staying power for me wasn't very good. I mean it did last a good amount of hours. I think it lasted around 3 hours without re-applying it but while I had it on my lips I didn't feel quite relaxed. I felt it on my lips so I was nervous all the time if I smudged it, is it still on... It almost felt like it was to heavy for me. Maybe I put too much on my lips but it did feel really heavy. It's like it was saying to me: 'I'm here, be careful.' Emm, what?

Overall I was/am really content with the product and I am so grateful to Maja. I like the product, I like the colour she picked and I really like that she helped me experience my first high end product. I can see what the fuss is all about when it comes to this brand. In terms of lipsticks I was thoroughly impressed because when you apply it on your lips it feels really smooth and you don't need to apply multiple coats to get that strong colour.

This was my review I really hope you enjoyed it. Do you have any Mac products? I would like to know how do you feel about them. Let me know in the comments below and I will talk to you very soon with another beauty related post? Who knows :D Have a lovely day.

BOOKMARK COLLECTION

Hello reader. Long time no see...

It's a new year and that means a great time to start something new. I should probably update you on what's been going on in my life. Not much to be exact. I got a job in October and I worked there untill January. I decided to quit it because in January I need to study for my exams that start in February. Basically I decided school was a priority and that I need to finish it in time (if possible).

I also had a bit of a problem with the social media/phone. I got so fed up with everything. I kind of got lazy and didn't want to check my mail or any other social media accounts and honestly I had no problems with that. I loved just going to work and go somewhere with my friends. That's what I've been doing the last 2 months. It's quite a long period I know. Now I started being more active and I also watched other bloggers and they made me miss blogging. So here I am.

Things haven't changed. I am still obsessed with Booktubers. I still love watching their videos and I am so tempted to try to film a book haul or something related with books but I am just not yet up for it. I am a chicken I know. I can stick to my blog where I can write everything down and I can also take some pictures and edit it. That's a less scarier way of sharing my thoughts. Maya is still studying abroad but is coming home in a few weeks and then it's time we make a plan. We are going to plan every single day so that we don't neglect our blogs and Youtube channel. I said to her that it would be awsome if we reached 50,000 subcribers on Youtube this year. It is a bit high but we can try and we'll be able to see if we can stick to things (I am so bad at this...). So this is kind of my 2016 resolution/goal and I also decided I'm going to write down every book I've read in 2016 (I already read 2... yaay...).

So I am here today with a bookish post. I decided to show you my small collection of bookmarks. I recently entered the world of bookmarks which means I discovered so many amazing bookmarks that just makes me want to have them all... But that's not possible because then I would have more bookmarks than the actual books. I have some ordinary bookmarks and magnetic ones and the ones with cute qoutes on it. Little bit of everything.Without further ado, let's dive into some bookmarks.
