Color Block Outfit

Hi Guys!

I know I've been neglecting my blog lately, I've been busy with some makeup projects, but I came back not with a makeup look as expected, but a casual color block outfit.
Hope you enjoy it, I super love those studded sneakers from River Island, they're so cute and super comfy.

Review - Vichy Idealia illuminating face cream


Hello Lovely Ladies!

Two weeks ago I was invited to the great launch of Vichy Idealia cream, the new 'baby' of L'Oreal Laboratoires, that contains the revolutionary ingredient Kombucha.

'Kombucha is a fermented tea that is used worldwide, as it is alleged to boast a number of medicinal properties. It is made by "incubating" the kombucha, a type of mushroom, in sweet black tea.'
(source: ehow.com)
Fully fermented this miracle ingredient contains B vitamins, glucoronic and lactic-acid, that mantain the skin's moisture and elasticity.
The active ingredients AHA + Vitamins + Probiotics + Polyphenols help skin regenerate, enhancing its texture and the overall appearance.




 This cream claims to be the reinvention of a radiant, healthy and better looking skin, so I was happy to test it for two weeks now.



 What they say:

Concerns:
                *signs of ageing, wrinkles, dullness and uneven skin texture

Efficacy:
                *visibly smoothes the look of wrinkles
                *skin texture appears refined, feels softer to touch
                *re-awakens skin's natural radiance for a fresh and even complexion





 My true opinion:

                             * First of all it smells awesome, I'd rather eat it than apply it on my face, it looks and smells like a blueberry and raspberry souffle       
                             * It's easily absorbed in the skin
                             * Before using this cream my skin used to flake off especially when applying foundation, it was a nightmare, I had a whole skin routine to calm the flakes down :)) now my skin is surprisingly smooth and hydrated; I'm really impressed! 
Even my sis and my best friend have noticed my skin improvements...
                              *Due to the pearl extracts the cream gives a certain glow and softness to my skin
                              *When I wake up in the morning I like the feeling that my skin isn't flaky and oily anymore, I think somehow it also controls sebum production, at least that's what I've noticed 
                                *It's perfect for sensitive eyes, no tears... :) 
                                *The T-zone used to be a bit darker than my cheeks and now it's almost even
                                *I think I found my Holy Grail face cream!
                                
                         



Good to know:

Vichy Idealia it's available for dry skin and normal/combination skin

It also contains the fortifying Vichy Thermal Spa Water

Paraben-free

Also suitable for sensitive skin

Cherry Blossom


Hello there my lovelies!!

Missed me? Well this time I came up with this cherry blossom inspired makeup look that I actually did two weeks ago and I'm so sad I didn't have some time to post it earlier this April.
If you were wondering, on the lids I used the pink and the wine colors from Coastal Scents 26 Combo Eyeshadow Palette and the lower lashline green is from 180 eyeshadow palette.  On my lips I applied a soft petal pink lipstick from NYX in "Strawberry Milk".
I really hope you enjoy the final look.






Have a nice weekend!
See you soon! Kisses and hugs !

Sunny days!


Hello Sunshine!

It's spring again! That makes me so happy and full of life, makes me wanna go out with my friends, have fun and loooong walks with my hubby and my honey bunny doggie and enjoy every day of this sunny and warm spring...Well this is not a post about how I worship spring, ha ha, but a quick post about my outfit I wore today on a fashion and vintage fair and of course the paired makeup. I'm really sorry I don't have any closeup pics with makeup or outfit details, hope you can figure it out.







I don't wanna go wrong but the necklace is either Topshop or River Island, top and jeans from Zara, Bershka blazer, no name bag, no name ring (very similar to the Accesorize flower rings), Mint Green Barry M nail polish.

Hope you like it and see you soon!
Warm hugs,
Lala
