Summer beauty

Summer is in full swing so I thought I'd share with you few of my must haves I couldn't currently be without.  In the Summer months I always wear minimal make up, switching my foundation to tinted moisturizer. I've been using Chanel for years but this year I decided to try the new one from Clarins. I swear by their skincare and this did not disappoint.

White and gold are my favourite colours to wear during the hot months, so I just added these Barry M nail polishes to my collection (treasure chest and coconut). They last well and are such a bargain I love them.

The Multiple by Nars is a godsend. I can't get enough and plan to get loads of different colours. This Riviera one is a dusky pink and  I've been putting it on my eyelids and lips as well (it's not call Multiple for nothing..). The consistency is amazing, it feels great on the skin, lasts well and it's soft and dewy - perfect for Summer.

Now on the least glamorous - a deodorant. Let's face it - we all sweat in the summer and this one by Dove is the best deodorant I've tried in a while.

What are you Summer beauty must haves?

 

Have a stylish day.

Neon toes

 You may have seen my birthday shoes first time here. I'd been wanting a pair of Christian Louboutin for ages and when I saw these reduced at half price I couldn't resist. They are rather bright and make a statement of their own, so I kept the rest quite simple. They are 80mm so super comfy - perfect for summer :)
Are you loving neon?

 

 Shoes Christian Louboutin, bag Clarins, shorts and top H&M, sunglasses Dior, earrings New look, watch Michael Kors, rings YSL and H&M.

Have a stylish day.

Life lately

New Chanel Iphone case, pampering Saturday with Lush mask (review coming up tomorrow), glass of red and peonies make for a nice evening, can't get enough of stripes, Clarins tinted moisturiser (review coming up), enjoying sunny London on sun loungers, picnic and sunbathing selfie, busy afternoon editing photos, buying peonies - may the season last forever?!

 

Welcome to another week. Last week was a good one for me (very productive with some good news thrown in) so I hope for the same this week. Here's what I've been up to lately.

 

Have a stylish day.

Spring beauty

Clarins Double serum, Clinique City block, Bare Minerals Never say never lipstick, Nars eye shadow palette, Salvatore Ferragamo perfume, YSL nail polishes, YSL lipstick, Nars Illuminator

Spring is officially here! I couldn't be happier and all I think about is getting my wardrobe and make-up bag ready. I'm definitely re-purchasing Clarins double serum as I'm about to run out and it made a huge difference to my skin. I want to add the Clinique City block, because of my sensitive skin. You can never protect against sun too much. New polishes and lipsticks are always on my list and a new perfume for Spring is a must. Looking for a lighter scent.
What's on your make up wishlist for Spring?

Have a stylish day.

Skincare and makeup update

 

I don't blog about beauty as much as I'd like. This is partially due to the fact that I'm quite low-maintenance when it comes to skincare and make up. But since reading loads of beauty blogs and becoming somewhat a lipstick addict I thought I'd do an update on few favourite things. You can read about my skincare routine here and my make-up must haves here, these product have now become important part of my routine too and need to be mentioned!

By now you may know I'm a big Clarins fan..

Clarins Double serum - I tried quite a few testers before buying it, but knew very soon that I'd be purchasing. Changed my skin for better (it was becoming very dry especially at forehead and nothing else was helping) and now I can't imagine not using it. It is a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Clarins Eye contour gel - I am a bad sleeper. This covers it a bit ;)

Followed by YSL Touche eclate - (no woman should be without it).

Clarins Hydra-quench mask - again I had a tester first and loved it. Smells amazing and hydrates beautifully.

Nars Schiap and Funny face - have become my favourite lipsticks. Schiap (pictured) is very bright pink and is perfect finishing touch to a dull outfit. Funny face is darker pink and I love it for every day. They are very moisturizing and feel nice on and I will be definitely buying more.

Have you discovered any beauty must-haves lately?

 

Have a stylish day.

1. After trying several samples of the Clarins double serum - I've finally bought it. It's worth all of the £55! I adore Clarins and love a lot of their products. More here

2. I can't wait for the Isabel Marant X H&M collection to hit stores on Nov 14th. Here's few bits I'm hoping to snap up. What are you eyeing up?

3.  Ombre mani using part of my extensive Essie collection. (from left to right: The lace is on, Big spender, The girls are out, Madison Ave-hue, Funny face)

4. Ombre mani close-up

5. My Valentino flats are perfect for walks on these beautiful sunny autumn days which I'm really enjoying.

 

Have a stylish day.

1.  My favourite look of my favourite editorial in September's Vogue. Cara is styled to perfection. The outfit, the hair, the pink peonies.. Love it!

2. I'm always looking forward to ELLE's collections - must-have for any fashionista!

  3. August has arrived meaning September issues are out (fashion's logic). I've enjoyed my evenings buried into the fashion's best monthly. I also happen to be a big fan of Daria Werbowy.

4. Last week was full of good news and little personal achievements. That of course calls for a celebration with a Cosmo or two..

5. Is there a better way to spend an evening than watching girly movies with a mask on?!

 

Have a stylish day.

The /new/ bag and what's in it

 

I've been looking for a great new bag for a while. When I saw this one on sale in DKNY store I couldn't not buy it. It was everything I had been looking for. Roomy enough for all my essentials, nude colour that will go with everything and a great price.

So now the big question is: What do I carry around? I thought I'd share..

 

1. Iphone - can't imagine my life without it. Cover by Lanvin.

2. Ipad - I have an online job. Like my phone, can't be without it. Love my new DvF case :)

3. Filofax - I'm a bit old-school and still like to write things down.

4. DKNY wallet - have had it for years. It's starting to wear off but the colour is so perfect I don't want to give it up.

5. Keys and chewing gums (for obvious reasons)

 6. Dior sunglasses. I always carry sunglasses and never umbrella, which probably doesn't make much sense in England but I have sensitive eyes. And sunglasses are such a good accessory.

 7. Business cards - because you never know who you may ran into.

8. Valentino Valentina perfume - for freshening up.

 9. Clarins hand cream - have been using it for years and swear by it.

10. At least a couple of lipstick or lipglosses. Usually it's more.. YSL ones are among faves.

11. Chanel powder - it's nearly gone but I use it as mirror.

12. Bottle of water. I drink about 3 litres a day. Must-have for me. (I put Vitamin tablets in it that's why it's pink - not because I love pink - just a happy coincidence).

13. Sweetner - in case I buy coffee and they don't have it. Hate sugar (but not sugary things).

 

These are every day items, but often there's more.. Magazines, my DSLR, flats for emergencies etc.

Now you know why I need a big bag..

What are your essentials?

 

Have a stylish day.

The ultimate guide to pink lips

 

 

 

Ok maybe not the ultimate as I don't seem to wear any matte lipstick, but if you like pink shiny lips, you're at the right place. I love lipsticks and lipglosses and if I ever want a little treat this is what I often buy. I mostly go for YSL or Chanel, but there's a long list I want to try from other brands. So quite possibly there will be another guide :)

1. Clarins gloss Prodige 10 - Vibrant rose. If you want something really neutral with a bit of sheen, this is it.

2. YSL Rouge Pur Shine 11 - again this is very neutral but with a bit more colour. It's super moisturising and feels great on lips. My go-to colour when I'm wearing too much pink already.

3. YSL Rouge Pur Couture 110 - this is the colour I wear the most. Again it is moisturising and feels nice on. You can layer the colour to make it brighter or less bright. I've nearly finished and will repurchase.

4. YSL Golden Gloss 49 - the brightest of them all and I wear it when I need a bit more colour. It's a bit sticky,but I still love it. The colour is beautiful and like all YSL products it feels very luxurious.

Have a stylish day.

My beauty secrets

I'm 32 and my skin is generally in very good condition. Recent tests proved that, so I decided to share my secrets.

1. Drink loads of water. It sounds cliché, but it really is very important. I drink on average 3 liters a day.

2. Cleanse your skin daily. I swear by the One-step gentle exfoliating cleanser by Clarins. It is my favourite Clarins product along with the Nails and hand cream - I have been using both for years.

The cleanser removes all make-up and makes my skin feel super soft after. I can't imagine my life without it any more. I would love to say I use toner regularly too but I don't. Really want to get into that routine though.

3. I use SPF on my face daily. The Hydra Quench lotion is everything my skin needs. I used to use the Multi-active Night cream , but now have been given the Vital Light Night to try, so far so good.

4. I was advised by a beautician to use eye cream daily and have been using Eye Revive Beauty Flash ever since.

5. The Hydra Quench Cream mask is new to me. I've only used it couple of times so far, but know I'll buy it again. It smells divine and does exactly what it says.

 

These products may seem pricey, but you only need to use very little and they last me for up to 6 months. Also I often buy these when they have offers on and you get extra products too. Saves pennies plus you can try new products. I believe your skin is worth investing in and after years of trying I realised this is what works for me.

I am also planning to buy the new Double serum. I was given quite a few samples and loved it.

 

What skincare do you use? What products do you swear by?

Have a stylish day.
