Idealist by Estee Lauder

 I should begin this review by saying that I love Estee Lauder's products, this is actually why I was convinced into purchasing this product in the first place. This serum is supposed to "dramatically reduce the look of uneven skintone", and by this the Company means: redness, acne marks, dark spots, sun spots and discolorations. Well, I may have to admit that maybe I wasn't the best candidate for this serum cause nothing of the abovementioned really troubled me at the time of purchase (about three months ago) apart from some acne marks. And actually these acne marks were a recent achievement from picking on my face for no reason....

Anyway, the serum is a non oily fluid with many sparkly particles that smells real nice and feels great on the skin. I wore it daily under my cream and I felt as if it gave me a pretty glow -probably because of the particles- and not of what it was actually doing on the skin. Three months later, my acne marks are pretty much gone, but I have to say that I did not witness a great overall change on my skin and the serum may have worked on the marks but not quite as fast as some other products I have used in the past. For example, the Clinique even better dark spot corrector (which I did not love either) worked faster and the Mario Badescu whitening mask which I used directly on old red acne scars -even overnight some times- vanished them in no time.

So, to conclude I wasn't really satisfied with the particular product cause I paid quite enough for it and didnt even see a difference, yes it gave me a temporary daily glow, it didnt break me out, it felt nice on the skin, BUT I wouldn't purchase it again.

Beauty doesn't have a colour..

Real beauty is there for us to see, to gaze, to admire...
Beauty does not have a color...
Beauty cannot just be found in one race, in one Country or in one face. Beauty does not have specific facial features or bone structure, it can be found in each person in this planet.
Real beauty derives from within, from the heart and the kindness, this is where we should look for it and not in the aisles of beauty stores.. This is where we should look for our lost confidence.
Beauty lays in each and every one of us, all we need to do is see, gaze and admire...

No words, just glitter

New findings

Going around the stores or the internet it is rather hard not to find adorable clothes, shoes and accessories. Here are my new findings...

Starting from the top right Zara TRF tweed jacket, Zara clutch bag with studs, below Chaser distressed tshirts, next golden bangles (the more, the merrier), AllSaints blouse and finally in the center Jagger Edge's I phone cases.

What do you think???

Nubi update

How cute is Nubi?
Here sleeping with his pal, the mouse, and dreaming of his long walks..

When I take him out, people constantly ask me whether he is a puppy labrador, they even have him confused  with a puppy Dogo Argentino, and I wonder are they for real??? I mean these pups are born twice his current size. No, I reply he is a chiweenie - although his pedigree sais otherwise (chihuahua). No matter what breed he is or isnt, I must admit that I adore him!

March Favourites

 

Hey there,

presenting you with my March Favourites..Starting from the top left and going clockwise..

Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Insolente (65): Probably among the prettiest warm tone fuschias outthere. It resembles those beautiful rasberry lollipops its hard to take your eyes off. You have to try this one!!

Too Faced Naked Palette: OMG, this is seriously a must have because for the first time I discovered a palette in which -not most- but ALL of the colors are amazing and very easy to wear. Plus you can never go wrong with a palette that includes two very wearable matte shades (black and taupe).

Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude: This is a very inviting warm and sexy perfume that still reminds us of the cold Winter days but also invites spring. Great for the evening- you will receive many compliments!!!

MAC blush in Coygirl: Well, this is probably the best spring color to have on your cheeks. If you havent tried it, then do so...and do not be scared of the bright color, it blends greatly and just a tiny bit will go a long way.

Lancome mini les vernis in 003: I really dont know if you will be able to get your hands on this gorgeous nailpolish because it was a part of the charity collection that Kate Winslet did for the Golden Hat foundation. This small but miraculous nailpolish combines silver and golden glitters that creat a sparky coat. WOW.

Korres lip butter in Jasmine: Nude pinkish color, soft to the lips, amazing feel and gorgeous scent.

MAC plumful lipstick: I got this a few days ago at my last Back to Mac. The girl at MAC looked at me in a peculiar way and asked  "Why on earth did you choose the specific color?" I replied that I simply liked its color and soft texture and thought to myself "this must be an aweful color". But anyway guys, I still bought it...and I must say that it is super pretty. A couple of days later I wore the lipstick and passed by the MAC store to show it to her and -to my surprise- she loved it. That is why it is better to trust your instincts that the salespeople....
