Lovely earrings

I almost never wear earrings. If I do I just wear small pearls or some "party earrings". But I'm really more of an ring and bracelet person. I do have some beautiful and cool earrings I never use though. Like these.
 

Eyeliners!

 
My favourite eyeliner by all times is Isadora Waterproof eyeliner. It stays on ALL day long. And even if you get tears in your eyes it stays on. It's really good. I also tried the non-waterproof eyeliner to the left but I really prefer the glossy black waterproof one.
Also I'd like to recommend an eye shadow that I bought at H&M. It's metallic gold and it really brings out your eye color in an amazing way, specially if you have blue eyes!

Cable knit

I really love cable knitted cardigans. Really easy to mix with anything. Here are some of my cable knit cardigans, I love them in pastel color. I think that the best quality for cable knit is obviously Gant!

my favourite bracelets

Here's a picture of my favourite bracelets. The one to the left with pearls and a golden bow I bought in Sweden. The one with mixed pearls I bought in Copenhagen at Assessorize. The one in silver with differens charms on was a gift from my amazing cousins for my birthday some years ago. That one is my favourite of all my bracelets.

Dogs everywhere!

As mentioned before I love dogs. That also means I love everything with dogs on. So the happiness when I found these two blouses on Primark is hard to describe. I love dalmatians and terriers, and they are often very beautiful as prints on fabric.
If I would have an own dog here in London it would probably be a small dalmatian or a cavalier king charles!

My favourite shoes

I love shoes. I probably have more than 50 pairs and unfortunately moving to England forced me to leave at least 70% of them at home. But these shoes I just had to bring. The purple ones I got for christmas some year ago, I really love them. The heel is very high so it is actually quite difficult to walk at least quickly in them. But they remind me so much of Carrie Bradshaw and I love the shape and the suede fabric.
The black ones I actuallt bought at H&M. They are so cool and it takes some courage to wear these. Since they are quite outstanding I would wear them together with jeans and perhaps a little evening jacket.
The beige ones in suede are actually my favourites by all time. And guess what, I bought them on Primark! Insane. I think that they have the most perfect shape, perfect fabric and perfect colour. Love love love them.

My evening routine

Today I am soooo tired and also a bit ill so I have good time to make some posts. I just wish someone could come to my room with candy and icecream right now.
I thought I would show you one of my routines in the evening. Since living in the UK I feel like it's almost.. mandatory to drink tea. So every night I have a cup of tea. My favourite is this one on the picture, from Twinings. This tea is a "pure peppermint" tea that is sooo nice. The strong taste of mint really is enough and you don't need to add milk, sugar or honey at all. The very cute cup is from Marks&Spencer, bought it some weeks ago. Since I love love love dogs I thought this was the perfect one for me. The white dog and the black dog look quite similar to my dogs at home!

Some cute things I like

On the picture below you see some cute things that I really like. Cute things makes you a little bit more happy on a casual day so always keep some in your bag. First of all the Chanel perfume is the perfume I always wore before my addiction to Chloé. The Chanel perfume is also a great perfume to wear every day. It's a bit more "heavy" than the Chloé one and nowdays I use it more at night time. The little London-bus key chain I got from my dad, he bought it for me at Accessorize on Heathrow. On the back side it has a small pocket mirror. The little cup cake bracelet is actually from Primark, I bought it some days ago and I also bought one for my friend. It is from the childrens department and I think it looks really cute! Also it's a very good size and fits our wrists perfectly. The other bottle is an Eu de toilette from a Yves Rocher store in Sweden. It has the scent of coconut and when feeling the smell it's like a little summer breeze in this rainy London.
 

Nice colours

I think I'll put on a new colour tonight. I really like the Depend nail polishes since the sizes of the bottles are small and they don't dry out. Also they are not expensive at all! The cute nail file with the ballerinas on is from Superdrug and I bought it a couple of days ago.

Cute headbands

 
I'm actually not sure about the proper term of this in English but perhaps I can say headband or diadem and that will be alright.
Anyway, I really like wearing a head band sometimes. It gives a really preppy look and of course we have all been inspired by watching Blair on Gossip girl. These are the ones I use mostly. The black sparkly one and the one with a bow are bought in Sweden. The sparkly one is very nice for going out, and since it is very thin, the sparkle actually isn't too much. The one with small pearls on is very cute but can very easily give a too updressed impression. The navy blue one with a silver bow is from the store Accessorize. I like to match my headbands with a cable knit sweater.

My favourite perfume forever and ever

This perfume is the one that I use every day. I discovered the perfume when I was with my mother in London a couple of years ago. At that time the perfume was totally new and only "launched" in certain stores in Europe. Ever since I have always thought of London everytime I felt that scent. It's floral but not too sweet, it smells like a garden full of flowers. Since I now live in London I use this perfume every day!

My Flormar polishes

Here's a picture of my three different bottles from Flormar. The one to the right that has a coral colour is really nice specially in the summer!

The perfect everyday nail polish

This nail polish is by far my favourite when I need a simple and elegant look for my nails. For many years I've been looking for the perfect nail polish that gives your nails that clean, beautiful look. Usually the beige or light pink polishes have some bad qualities such as looking grey or giving a too much metallic shine. This is the perfect one though. Unfortunately I don't know where to find this brand in the UK since my mum bought it for me when she was in Istanbul! After applying the polish to the nails it dries really quickly and applying more than one layer is not a problem. The formula is so light and smooth. The name of the brand is Flormar. Another brand that I really like is Mavala and the colour called Wichita.

Did a unicorn just kiss my nails?

Look at this amazing nail polish I bought today on Primark! I've been looking for a really glittery nail polish for such a long time! Usually the problem about the glitter polishes is that the glitter doesn't apply evenly to the nail and that there are too few "glitter flakes" in it. But this one was actually really good, even though I applied three layers to achieve this result. The price was really good too, only £ 2.50!

Hask Argan Oil

Last week I went to Primark (where I actually go every day) and I bought this bottle of argan oil! The argan oil is a hair treatment that is ment to "heal" your hair and give it extra shine, which I really need for my hair. I also have the feeling that the argan oil actually keeps your hair less frizzy which is a major plus living in the UK. This argan oil from Hask was really not that expensive, so I thought I would give it a try. Although, have in mind the bottle is only 18 ml. After having tried the argan oil for about a week I think I can say that it gives your hair a very silky feeling and definitely gives an extra shine!
 




Maybelline 24 hour super stay

Ok, I really feel the urge to blog about this product. It is the most amazing concealer I've ever had! I bought this one at Boots on Oxford street. This concealer has the best cover I've ever experienced, and on top of that it stays on for hours! It blends with your skin perfectly and the formula has the perfect thickness, not to thin and not to "heavy". I've tried on soo many different products that never keeps their promise, but this concealer gives pretty much an 24 hour stay!
I can only advice you all to check out this product since it is splendid! Love it!

Berry Crush

Ok so this is my first post! I thought I would tell you about my latest purchase, this lip stain from a brand called 17. I bought it at Boots on Oxford Street where I buy most of my beauty products. Since this is a lip tint, it is supposed to stay on longer on your lips than a regular lipstick. In the one end of the stick there is a lip balm, and in the other there is a pen, looking rather more like a marker pen actually.
What is my evaluation of this product? I read some bad reviews online and also some good ones, so I didn't really have any expectations. I really like this product though.
When applying it you have to be very precise because you can easily get an uneven result. The formula is really thin, not feeling like a lipstick at all. The colour stays on for a really long time, even though it doesn't have the same intencity as when I had just applied it.
Over all I really like this product and it was also a great price! Go check it out!
