What I got for Christmas 2015

Hello my lovelies :-)

I know it has been a while since my last post here. I have been extremely busy with school and work but deep down I've been missing blogging so much so I decided to give it a try again.

I didn't know what to share first - my Christmas presents or 2015 favourites. I decided to go with what I got for Christmas post because I've been really enjoying reading them :)

I know it might sound weird for some people, but in my family we don't do surprise gifts. Everybody makes wishlists or even buy his own presents. In my case my family got me money to get myself something pretty. And I did.

I have been lusting after one of Tom Ford eyeshadow quads for ages. I have to admit I wanted to get Urban Decay Naked 2 palette but when I was really to order it, I noticed a cheeky e-mail from Douglas which said they had 30% off eyeshadows, lipsticks and nail polish. And I caved. I stil do think the prices is a little ridiculous but can we all please take a moment and admire this gorgeous quad? I am in love and I hope so are you.

Ever since I saw Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in Dusty Rose I knew I had to have it but it seems to always be sold out and the shipping costs are very high so I decided to try out its cheaper dupe - Sephora lip stain in Marvelous Mauve 13. I also got my favourite lip liners - 2 x Rosewood, 1 x Classic Pink and 1 x Deep Aubergine.

Last but not least, I got a beige jumper and gorgeous mittens.

I hope you liked this post and I will see you very soon with my 2015 favourites!

I also would like to wish you a very Happy New Year!

MY PERFECT AUTUMNAL LIPSTICKS

Hello everyone :-)

I know I haven't posted anything in ages. I have been extremely busy with finishing my MA degree. Last week I graduated from the university with a Master's degree and I finally have some time on my hands so I decided to show you my favourite lipsticks for autumn.

Fall/autumn is definitely my favourite season. I love wearing cosy sweaters and scarves, the smell of hot chocolate and wet leaves (I know, I am  weird). It's so beautiful and colourful. I like wearing dark lipsticks but especially in autumn I feel more confident to reach out for my favourite shades. I am not a huge fan of red so basically all my lipsticks are  pink and mauve but I do have some peachy pinks in my collection.

Like I said, today I want to show you my top 8 picks for autumn. At first I wanted to show you only 5 of them but I couldn't decide which one to ditch.

All of my lipsticks are high end because well, I have to admit that, lipsticks are my biggest weakness and soon I would also love to share with you my lipsticks wishlist.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine 92 Emotion is probably the most beautiful raspberry lipstick I have ever seen. It is sheer yet very pigmented and buildable. It stays put on for ages and I try to save it because it was a limited edition lispstick.

I got this NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien as a birthday gift from US Sephora. At first I thought it was too nude for me but it actually looks more mauve on lips and has a wonderful lasting power.

Marc Jacobs lipstick in 216 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is probably the most creamy lipsticks I have ever used. It applies beautifully, it's pigmented like crazy and makes your lipsticks look fuller.

NARS Audacious lipstick in Anna is definitely on the matter side. It is slightly drying but it stays put for hours. It is also very pigmented and it doesn't budge.

Now it's time for one my favourite lipsticks - MAC Plumful which is probably the most popular ever. I can't blame it because it's the most gorgeous plumy shade which is sheer and very buildable. It basically suits everyone. I'm nearly running out of it and I'm already planning on getting a new one. As soon as possible.

Dior Baume in 988 Nuit Rose is basically a berry very pigmented lip balm which is amazing because not only it gives your lips some colour (actually a lot of colour) but also it takes care of your lips. I'm sold. So are my lips.

Don't let Urban Decay Sheer lipstick in Shame scare you. Like its name suggest, it is a very sheer lipstick but it still is very pigmented. It it's definitely pinker and cooler than other lipstick that I have shown but it is still a lovely shade for autmn.

Last but not least, it's my newest lipstick Givenchy Le Rouge-A-Porter in 303 Framboise Griffee. It actually looks almost like my favourite Chanel lipstck in Emotion but it's less pigmented yet more creamier. You can easily build it up and it won't dry out your lips.

What are your favourite lipsticks shades for fall/autumn? Let me know!

Nails Inc Victoria Beckham Nail Polish In Bamboo White

Do you believe in love at first sight? I do, sometimes I do. The minute I saw this gorgeous shade I knew I had to get it.

I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Nails Inc varnishes or Victoria Beckham. I don't like Nails Inc new packagings either. I miss their sleek bottles. This shade gets also very mixed reviews but it's so lovely, I can't stop looking at it.

It is desrcibed as an ivory color and I think that's what it is. It applies very smoothly and you need two coats to reach opacity. Believe me, I'm not good at applying nail polish but this one doesn't smudge at all. The brush is quite wide which is very helpful. It stays put for about 5 days with Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat.

Do you like this shade? I might have gotten a second bottle just in case because I'm so in love with this colour :-)

Who am I?

Hi everyone :-)

It's not my first blog but since it's my first post on here I've decided to tell you a little about myself :-) and to make it easier just share some random facts about me:-)

I'm a 20-something girl and I'm currently doing my masters degree in linguistics and bachelors degree in Chinese language. I am a big fan of detective novels and high end makeup. I am rather pale so I seem to always be on the hunt for a new very light foundation. I love good music and traveling. I am obsessed with psycholinguistics. I love watching Friends and Gilmore Girls.

1. I am a compulsive researcher. I have to google everything which it a little annyoing when I'm out with friends.

2. I love languages. Any languages. Grammar. Linguistics. All that fun.

3. I have been dealing with anxiety and depression almost all my life. I know it's very trendy now to have anxiety but mine isn't something I'm proud of. It has put me down so many times and it makes me socially awkward.

4. I got a beautiful puppy 6 months ago and I love him so much! :-)

5. I'm lefthanded

Hope you enjoy them and I'll see you soon! :-)
