Huge Haul - Korres, Gucci, Braun...

2011-06-28T05:37:00.000-07:00

Hi my loves, i am so sorry for the lack of posts at the moment but i was very busy the last couple of weeks..
But now i am back with some blog posts and today i wanna show you my recent buys.
Yes it´s a haul! :)

First items are from Korres! Due to the fact that i am half-greek i had to order some items from them! :D I already have a bodylotion from Korres and i love it! So i thought why i shouldn´t try some more? ;)
I got 3 things;

Wild Rose Foundation

Mango Butter Lipstick in Coral

Leave-On Conditioner

That´s everything from Korres! I´m actually very excited to try the products and will do a review on all of them in the near future.

Than i ordered some items from amazon. I actually only wanted to order one thing but well.... ;)

I really needed a new straightener - i have mine for like 4 years now and because i wanna grown out my hair healthy i decided to get the Braun Satin Hair Straightener:

The reviews on it are pretty good, so i am quite happy about my purchase :)

The last 2 items i got are Flora by Gucci (Love love love the smell!) and the Yes to Carrots Pampering Hair & Scalp Mask:

So tell me my ladies - what did you got recently? :)

Hope you all have a great day! :)

My recent buys^^

2011-06-11T07:34:00.000-07:00

Sorry that i haven´t posted anything in a while but i had been quite busy and also don´t feel comfortable right now to do OOTD pictures..
But i thought i could share my recents buys with you. It isn´t much but hope you like them anyways. :)
Today i bought these Wedges at Deichmann (Which is a german Shoe Store). I´ve already tried them on yesterday but was like "Ah i don´t know, i check out their online-store, maybe i´ll order them from there". Back home i went to their online store, found the shoes but of course their were sold out in my size. :( So i had to go back to the Store i´ve had been yesterday to buy them there.
The price of these wedges are only 17€ :) What a bargain for such pretty shoes!

(Sorry for my ugly feets :P)

Than i bought these 2 lippies the other day:

P2 - No. 142 "Walk of Fame" (Quite similiar to MAC "Impassioned")

Essence - No. 53 "All about cupcake"

And last but not least this Nailpolish:

MNY - No. 265

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

OOTD + Hello long hair!

2011-05-27T08:28:00.000-07:00

Because i miss my long hair so terribly i decided to use my FoxyLocks clip-in extensions today - and i love it!! Can´t describe how it is when you´ve cut your hair (Still don´t know why i did it :P) and than from one moment to another you have your long hair again.

Now i am really thinking about getting real extensions. But they´re cost a little bit, so i have to be 100% sure about it...

And than a Hello + a hug to the lovely Carlinn! Thank you so much for mention me in your blog post hun!
And i am very glad you like everything i´ve send to you. Enjoy the Haribo! ;)

OOTD - I love Hollister!

2011-05-02T08:53:00.000-07:00

Hei my Ladies - how are you today? :)

If you follow me on twitter than you already know that i went shopping to Hollister the other day. I´ve already had been at the Hollister Store in London Westfield but i didn´t bought anything. This time i did! Even if the german stores seems to be a little bit different than the uk ones.. Cause first you have to wait in a queue to get in! I was kinda surprised about that actually... :D I also noticed that all the sales advisor there look like models :D And the music is very loud in there but besides that i love that store! The prices are higher than in e.g. in the usa but the quality of the clothes is quite good so you won´t get dissapointed.

I´ve tried on 3 different denim shorts and i´ve got the one i am wearing on the pictures.
I also bought the white top there. I know i look a little bit pregnant with it but i don´t mind :D

Shirt: Hollister
Cardigan: H&M
Denim Shorts: Hollister
Shoes: Primark
Bag: Seppälä

What do you think about Hollister? Do you like their clothes?

Have a fab day! :)

The Royal Wedding inspired OOTD

2011-04-29T09:25:00.000-07:00

Hi my beauties, how are you?

Some of you might know that i really love England and that i have a huge sympathy for the Royals. But i found that this wedding was bad marketing, the whole press coverage before the event was just too much... That´s why i only watched like 15 minutes from the whole wedding..

Anyway, congratulations Kate & William! :) And Harry if you read this - call me! :D

Dress: Primark
English Flag: English Shop Cologne

2011-04-23T07:55:00.000-07:00

Hi Ladies - How are you? Hope you all enjoy your Weekend!

I´ve won a competition on Twitter from a German Drugstore Brand (twitter.com/dm_sundance) and today i´ve got the tanning lotion with these cute bunny ears in my mail :D Isn´t that cute? :D Thanks again to the DM Sundance Team for this wonderful Easter surprice! :)

Happy Easter to all of you!
Frohe Ostern!
Hyvää Pääsiäistä kaikille!

Do you like my tan? :)

2011-04-20T08:27:00.000-07:00

Dress: Gina Tricot
Shoes: Primark

Hi Ladies, i hope you all doing fine! :) Btw. do you like my tan? :)
It is a fake tan cause i don´t go to the tanning booth.. I am too scared of skin cancer and think you can also achieve a wonderful tan with fake tanning.
I usually apply my Xen-Tan Dark or my St Moriz Dark in the evening. After a shower in the morning i apply the Dove Lotion. It works quite well and i doesn´t look like fake tan ;)

What fake tan do you use? :)

KIKO Haul

2011-04-14T06:24:00.000-07:00

Hei Ladies, how are you? I´ve visited my Granny in north-germany (i live in west-germany) for a few days, that´s why i was unable to do a blog post since last week. But i am back home now and i just wanted to share with you what i bought there.
Always when i visit my home-town i have to go to the KIKO Store. KIKO is a cosmetic brand from Milan and has a few stores in Germany. The products are absolutely amazing!
And the prices are in the same range like L´oreal or Maybelline - but the quality is better!
(I would compare it with MAC)

That´s what i got this time:

Cosmic Sphere Trio in "03 Violet"

Water Eyeshadow in "03 Chartreuse Green"

Nail Lacquer in No 311

I wish i would have bought more! :D

Do you know KIKO? What do you think about their products? :)

Anyway, i hope you all have an amazing day! :)

New Primark Dress

2011-03-12T06:18:00.000-08:00

Hei girls, sorry for my absence in the last couple of weeks, but i had been very busy..
But now i am back and i start with a blog-post about a primark dress i´ve ordered last week.
I saw Rach wearing the dress in one of her blog-posts (here) and instantly fell in love with it...
So i´ve bought the dress on ebay (here) and today i´ve got it in my mail :)
It is so comfortable to wear and i love the fact that the belt is included. It looks a little bit more "classy" than i usually dress myself, but it´s really nice to try something new.

How do you like the dress? :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I did it - i´ve cut my hair!

2011-02-19T07:29:00.000-08:00

Surprise, suprise - i´ve cut my hair today. And i am so happy i did! Of course i loved my hair but it was time for a change.. So i was bold today and told my hair-stylist to cut more than usually :)

Hope you like it as much as i do! :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)

My NARS London Haul

2011-02-15T07:25:00.000-08:00

Because we don´t have NARS here in Germany i took the chance and bought some items when i had been in London. Btw. you can see from the packaging that i use everything a lot! :D

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Mont Blanc. I absolutely love this foundation! The shade is maybe a little bit too light for me but i don´t mind.

Nars Blush in Orgasm - i wear it almost every day. <3 href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=op5hyx" target="_blank">

Nars Lipgloss in Turkish Delight

Nars Velvet Gloss Pencil in Baroque - My mum has bought the matte pencil in a beautiful red color, and i was so i love with it that i dedcided to buy almost the same color - but just as a glossy version.

I am so happy with everything, that i am going to buy some more when i am the next time in London.
Leave me a comment and tell me what´s your fav Nars product!
:)

Just playing around with my new camera...

2011-02-14T08:06:00.000-08:00

I exchanged my camcorder today into the fujifilm finepix s1600 .. I still try to find the perfect settings for my pictures, cause some of the pictures are amazing and some of them are really bad :D

And i don´t know why the quality from the self-portraits are so bad.. It could be because of the bad lightning in here, i will do some pictures tomorrow in day-light and hope that they will look better.

What kind of camera do you use for your blog pictures??

PS: Do you think i should cut my hair or just change my hair color? or both? I need some advice! :D Leave me a comment :)

My London Trip ♥

2011-02-13T03:39:00.000-08:00

Finally i am going to show you my pictures from London! Some of you may know that i absolutely love this town!

I am planning to move there in about 1 1/2 years, but i also already booked my next stay there: In June. :)
So enjoy the pictures and unfortunately i totally forgot to do pictures from myself :D

This is the only one i have; It was made from a sales-advisor in a Superdrug in oxford street and it is for a charity campaign from Max Factor. :)

Big Ben

Didn´t had luck with the weather this day but London was still beautiful.

Harrods; Very impressive - even if i like Selfridges more ;)

Cupcake and a Latte in Westfield Shopping Centre.

The future home from Kate Middleton ;)

Wish you all a wonderful sunday!

Topshop & H&M Online Orders

2011-02-12T07:11:00.000-08:00

I am always interested in hauls and online orders from others so i am going to share with you what i´ve ordered recently from H&M and Topshop. :)

Topshop was just one item, but i am so exited about it :D It is this beautiful Floral Stripe Belt Dress. I had an eye on it since a few days and today i just had to order it :)

Than the first item from my H&M Order; this pretty bandeau dress, i am recently on a "mission" to buy spring/summer dresses. :D

Still love leopard print ;)

Just a plain black blazer, i really needed one cause i only have blazers in light colors and this one is only 19€!

Love these shoes, also because i am one of these persons who is used to buy black shoes, so it´s time to change my habbits ;)

And that´s it! :) I know just must think i am shopaholic or something like that, but i am also going to sell some old clothes i don´t wear anymore , so i am just buying new items for my wardrobe ;)

Hope you all having a fab weekend! :)

I went to Primark in Gelsenkirchen...

2011-02-11T09:37:00.000-08:00

Even if i just came back from London. But i was so in love with their clothes there (i came back from London with an extra suitcase full of primark clothes!) that i decided to check out the Primark in Gelsenkirchen.
But what a huge dissapointment! Most of the stuff was terrible, and so completely different than the clothes in London. I found 3 things, but that´s it. It really makes me wondering that the germans like the Primark Stores here in Germany, cause the Uk ones are much much better!

(The bag from Primark in Gelsenkirchen and the one from the Oxford Street in London. I also like the paper bag much more!)

But how i said, i found three things, two of them are shown in this picture:

Dress: Primark (19€)
Bag: Primark (13€)
Leggings: Primark London
Shoes: Ebay UK
Necklace + Earrings: Primark London

So if you plan to visit the Primark Store in Gelsenkirchen: Don´t do it! Save some money and book a flight to London :)

I will post the pictures i made in London within the next few days.

Hope you all doing fine. Take care! :)
