Fruity. Tropical. Sensual. That's how I would describe Roberto Cavalli's Paradiso Eau de Parfum. It was created as an interpretation of mediterranean Summer, a symphony of sun-drenched beaches and the versatile landscapes of Italy. Vacation in a bottle, I like the sound of that! ...

The holiday season is upon us! Lately I have been busy doing everything but plan & buy Christmas presents (I've always been more of a last-minute gift buyer. So stressful though, yikes!) but now that our Christmas tree is up and decorated, I'm starting to feel festive! Another yearly tradition I've enjoyed is reading gift guides. So many...

At the end of October a friend and I hopped on a plane to spend the weekend in Berlin! This little getaway couldn't have come at a better timing, as we were dying to get away from our busy schedules for a couple days. We were both excited to roam the streets of this beautiful city, ready to...

There is nothing like the occasional splurge at Lush Cosmetics. Sometimes I'll go there to celebrate when I've completed hard work (or not, Procrastination could be my middle name) and I want to reward myself with new bath goodies, or I buy a backup of something and end up getting more than I had allowed myself before heading...

Autumn is here and I couldn't be more excited! Obviously the summer months are amazing, but Autumn is just as charming for its own special reasons. I thought it would be fun to tell you why I enjoy this season so much, so I took a couple of 'TAG' series that I found online and combined them into...

We are now halfway through Summer (I can't believe I'm saying this) and I thought it was about time I'd show you my makeup picks for the months of June and July. This time I'm focusing on lips and cheeks! I haven't worn a lot of foundation lately. Instead I slapped on a good amount of moisturiser or...

It's that time of the year again! Summer... The time when I am so busy doing everything and nothing that the blog gets pushed into the background for a little while. I never do this on purpose, but it happens. I'm sure you all know the feeling! I'm actually writing this to give you an update on what...

If there is one makeup product I couldn't miss, it's mascara. I go weeks without wearing foundation or eyeshadow, but mascara is a daily essential for me, has been since what seems like forever. I have been wearing makeup for about eight years now and over time I've tried numerous mascaras from various brands. There are so many...

The past months I've discovered a lot of great beauty products from the drugstore. Surprisingly, only one of them is skincare. I've always preferred micellar water over balms or oils because I find it's the quickest and easiest way to remove makeup before going in with a cleanser - in my case: a cleansing milk/gel. So when I'd finished...

In a world where everything has to go fast and there's no time to lose, it's no wonder that beauty brands would start bringing their version of time-saving products into the stores. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear 'beauty' and 'fast' together is fast-drying top coats. I hate when I have to wait for...

Festival season is here! When I go to a festival or on a short trip, I like to pack so I can mix and match outfits without having to bring too many clothes.

Besides yours truly? Lots and lots of bath stuff. In the shower, on the bathroom shelf, even filling a drawer in the bedroom. Of anything cosmetics related, buying bath products is my biggest weakness. It used to be nail polish, but that was until I discovered stores like Lush and The Body Shop. Oh, that soapy goodness.  Since...

There is no denying that luxurious makeup with pretty packaging makes my heart beat faster (YSL and your golden packaging, I'm looking at you!). But when I inspect my makeup collection I see there is a lot of makeup from the drugstore too that I've been using and loving for years. Just because something is more expensive doesn't...

more details: ppandora on polyvore Another short inspiration post for this weekend. I'm usually all about black. All-black outfits are awesome and can look super sophisticated when combining the right textures or fabrics (but of course you can just wear whatever you like; in the end it doesn't matter!). But so can white! It's such a crisp colour and it...

If you were wondering what's been on my nails for the entire month of March, I'm about to show you right now. Now this may not seem very exciting except I usually change the colour once or twice a week when I give myself an at-home manicure. The nail polish you see on the left - Chinchilly by...

more details: ppandora on polyvore Some Sunday inspiration. I'm dreaming of a day without responsibilities- no deadlines, just relaxing.

Looking for pictures that resemble my dream bedroom has sparked my desire to go homewear shopping. (Though, when...

As expected they have released a collection full of divine-smelling, skin-nourishing goodies. One product that really stood...
