Spring Bling Fling with AUrate New York

Happy Saturday my lovelies! Today I'm sharing a post I've been excited to plan for you. This one is put together with a company I've worked before, and I will talk about them more at the end of the post, but if you're here just for the fashion part, it's going to be right here at the start. 

So let's get into it.

Red Cherry Lashes Review

Today's post is something I'm very excited about, and it took longer than I thought to create but I believe is better to make it properly right away than have to maybe correct many things so that's why this is up a bit later than I originally planned. Hope you can appreciate that. 

At the beginning of the month, I got contacted by False Lashes UK about possible cooperation. I'm a big fan of lashes, so I thought this would be a good fit for me. I don't do too many sponsored posts or collabs because most I get offered are either not a good fit for the blog/me or they're sounding unreasonable (looking at you, Chinese companies expecting things for 10$...). I know this is still a hobby for me and I do things when I just have a good while, but that's even more reason to be picky about the collabs I take. So even though I received the products here for free, the opinions are my own and unbiased, like if I had bought these with my own money.

But without further blabbering, let's get into the lash try-ons:

Beach Bag Essentials

Whether you’re heading abroad or planning a staycation this year, what you pack in your beach bag is highly important. The last thing you want to do is forget key items – or even overpack.

The first thing you must do is find the perfect beach bag. Ideally, you should find a roomy bag that you can fit everything-but-the-kitchen-sink inside – safely and securely – whilst simultaneously looking stylish. An on-trend option is a straw bag, which can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, and at varying prices that can suit everyone’s budget; from high-street to high end.

Glam Up with Anjolee

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

I've been pretty swamped with everything, especially because of the upcoming wedding and the fact I actually need six to nine hours of sleep every day. So if I'm MIA for a couple of days from the blogosphere, I'm just sorting out my wedding. So no need to worry.

And as I'm all about weddings, what better idea than to talk a bit about girly jewelry? Today I'm teaming up with Anjolee to show you some of my current favorites in their collection. These would be perfect accessories for weddings and other fancy events, and I would definitely wear their jewelry for special occasions if I had the chance. All the pictures borrowed from their website, so big thanks for Anjolee for letting me use them for the post!



First up some gorgeous bracelets I found browsing their site. Especially the third one is right up my alley, as you can probably believe if you're a long-time reader here. I love how sparkly they all look, and I can only imagine how stunning they are in real life.



Next up are some earrings. Can you guess my favorite?

Yes, the bottom right on it is. Although they are probably all very flashy, I can definitely name the journey earrings my favorite. They look like a perfect match to a gorgeous evening gown. Definitely even red carpet material.



Then, some necklaces. Although I'm an avid fan of long necklaces, these sophisticated ones did caught my eye while browsing the site. Especially the top one looks like something I would wear on a special occasion, I love the design a lot.


Last but not least, wedding rings. I have mine picked out (I'll show that to you closer to the wedding), but I still love browsing the options. The thing I like about Anjolee's selection is that they have these adorable matching sets of engagement and wedding rings. That's cool because it makes sure your two rings are actually made for each other - like husbands and wives, right? These four sets definitely caught my eye the most, and my absolute favorite here is the first one. It reminds me of my own set of rings (though mine, in real life, aren't completely matching, just close enough) and I could see that in my finger if I didn't have ones already.

If you like how these precious things look, I recommend you to check out Anjolee's site. Their jewelry can be customized to your taste, they offer different metals and jewels, though the option differ from design to design. Like I said, I'm personally very fond of their wedding ring sets (click the link to see more of them) and I'm sure there are some of you reading this that enjoy their jewelry as well.

What is your dream wedding ring like? Let me know in the comments!

Now this bride-to-be needs to hop in the shower and get to bed so I have the energy to face tomorrow and the new challenges. On Saturday, it's time for my bachelorette party, and I'm super excited to see what the girls have come up with. Also, tomorrow I'm starting the #junebeautychallenge on Instagram, so tag along there if you're into beauty related things. Let's do it together!

Have a fabulous week ♥

Skincare Loves Lately

Hello my darlings!

How are you today? ♥

I've been enjoying my busy week, and it's going to be my first payday soon. Which naturally means getting new nail art stuff, as I have a list of things I've been craving to get for a while now. I'm hoping that next week won't be this busy and all, so I could actually write daily instead of scheduling posts like I've done lately. It's all about getting my life schedule together and I'm sure next week it'll all be alright.

Today, I wanted to talk to you about some skincare products I've been loving lately.

I've never mentioned this much, but my skin tends to break out quite a bit, especially in the dry weather (winter, we're so not friends), when I'm stressed out or when I clean my makeup poorly. Also, I have a bad habit of touching my face too much once it starts breaking out, which naturally makes it worse.

Couple of weeks ago, the nice people of Reddville sent me some acne products for testing. I was pretty thrilled, as the stress of the spring has been quite a lot for my skin (especially the face).

The products I've been testing lately are Basiderm Oil Control Foam Wash and Basiderm Oil Control Moisturizer. Basiderm products are only available in pharmacies, and even though these two don't necessarily cure acne, they promise to help keep the skin clean moisturized throughout the day. Basiderm also has medical creams for acne, but so far I haven't needed to try those out. 

So what's my verdict about the products?

I was pretty scared that the products would make my face dry out like many face washes and matte finish moisturizers do, but once I found the right time to use them (face wash after removing my makeup, and applying the moisturizer when I go to sleep), I haven't had a problem. I tried out putting the moisturizer under a matte finish foundation, but that didn't work out too well for my skin type. 

I have a sensitive skin, so it's important to use right products for it. These don't seem too harsh on my skin, and I think I can say that these have made a little improvement on my skin so far. It feels cleaner and looks a little brighter. I can't say that any miracles have happened, but it certainly hasn't made anything worse. Obviously need to keep using these for a couple of months before my final word on them, but so far I'm liking them a lot. They don't have a strong scents to them, which is nice when you talk about products you put on your face. 

Of course as with all skincare, I believe a good diet, enough exercise and lot of water are essentials no matter what products you decide to use. But these, I think, are worth trying if you have an oily skin. It probably couldn't hurt, right?

What are your trusted products for skincare? Let me know in the comments!

Now, I will stop my blabbering for today, and will be back tomorrow with another post. Stay tuned for that my darlings!

Have a lovely day ♥
