New In, Travel

What’s in my Bag: Flight Edition

July 22, 2013
 

Work’s over and today I’m leaving for my vacation in Barcelona. As much as I love discovering new countries and cities, there will always be a couple of places that I’m gonna come back to, and Barcelona is one of them. I have so many memories connected to this city and it has everything I need for a perfect vacation!

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share with you my travel essentials – the stuff I carry with me on a plane. 
So, what’s in my bag?

- bag – Marc B
- passport, day planner, wallet, coin purse etc. 
- a magazine is perfect for a 3 hour flight, saving my books for the beach :)
- Iphone in a new case from Iconemesis, iPhone charger and power bank (can’t live without this baby!!!)
- jewelry!
- chewing gum and Starbucks mints
- a hair comb, Sephora compact powder, blush and mascara – my instant beauty boosters :)
- Decleor travel duo – cleansing milk and toning lotion
- La Petite Robe Noire body milk by Guerlain – crazy about the smell!
- sunnies by Zara and VJ-style

See you in Barcelona, follow me on instagram for live updates!

Summer Beauty Essentials

May 11, 2013
Since a lot of you guys have been asking me about the makeup products I use I thought I’d make a quick post about my most important beauty essentials. I’ve tried a lot of cosmetics, both drugstore and high end and these products happen to be the ones that I swear by and that work best for me. Also, I didn’t include stuff like eyeliners, shadows and blushes simply because I have no particular preferences here and can use any random product (even an H&M blush, if I’m in the mood).

From top to bottom:

1. Sephora Mineral Foundation Compact – No paraben, no fragrance, no oil and talc, hypoallergic – perfect for my weird skin :)
2. MAC 182 kabuki brush – have been using this one for like  a year (although you can probably tell :D)! 
3. MAC ‘Studio Fix’ Fluid Foundation – it gives an amazing coverage, stays long and mattifies my oily skin in a way that I almost never need to touch up.
4. Sephora Classic Mineral Powder Brush #45 – I use it for foundation an its literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me (makeup brush-wise :D)!
5. YSL Faux Cils Noir Radical (for night) and a little less dark Volume Effet Faux Cils for the daytime. Addicted to these babies, have been buying them for a couple years. 
6. Diorskin Nude Concealer – Have been using it only for about a month and I already like it more than everything I used before – great coverage (I have some serious dark circles going on!) and hydration.
7. Bioderma Sebium Gel (couldn’t find this one online, but this gel works absolutely the same way) and Avene Cleanance Lotion – as I mentioned, my skin is oily (mostly in the T-zone) and prone to occasional breakouts, using these two products I managed to cut breakouts by around 90%.
Do you use any of these products? What are your beauty essentials?
