Friday - Vlogday

Image
Hello everyone! I am so sorry that I don't post much lately but my life has gone pretty plain and boring because of uni. Everything I do during the day is get up and ready for uni, attend the lectures, come back home late. And then obviously, Saturdays I'm working too, which is another day where I can't really blog. However, this week was pretty exciting and busy because of the National Holiday in Austria, we also went out and in between the lectures we even managed to do some shopping - which is great. If you want to see what this week looked like , check out the vlog now! Also, enjoy Halloween and have a nice night out with your friends! I'll be working all day long tomorrow and will probably be so exhausted afterwards that I will come back home and just sit in my bed with a nice cup of tea and some sweet treats! -Olivia ~30.10.2015~

My OOTD: Austrian National Holiday

Image
It's National Holiday in Austria and my family and I went to town to see all the tanks, the soldiers and all of that stuff and it was really busy there. We were lucky this year though, because it was pretty warm! black loop scarf - Primark denim jacket - Levi's purple velvet skirt - Moschino black 80 den tights - Primark burgundy crossbody bag - Primark black cut-out boots - Polish local shop black corduroy button-up shirt - Versace floral wrap blouse - Miss Selfridge black crop top - Primark nail polish by Nails Inc. lipstick by Guerlain I wore a ponytail today - which is a rare look on me. Let me know if you like it or not! Hope you enjoyed this post, I definitely loved this outfit and the make-up too. We all had a great day out and I'm sad that uni starts tomorrow again. Also, please check out my latest vlog here ! -Olivia ~26.10.2015~

Autumn Empties (Face, Hair, Body)

Image
Hello everyone and welcome back on the blog! Since I'm so busy lately I don't even have enough time to blog properly, but today I decided it was time again to create some content for you. I actually wanted to film an empties video because I think it is just so much nicer, but until I managed to get this thing started it was already way too dark to film anything. So I decided go write some lines- still better than nothing. It's actually not too many empty products this time, but the boxn is surely full and ready to be emptied.  HAIR I used up my Batiste Eden dry shampoo and it really made me sad because Batiste is so expensive here in Vienna (and also hard to get). I also haven't seen this new scent over here yet, so this is even worse. Over the last few months (from August until now, the end of October) I've been using this about once a week. It helped me not washing my hair every two days on the hot days, but every third day and this was seriously lif

How I Fill In My Eyebrows

Image
Hello everyone! I have such complicated eyebrows that I basically have to fill them in every day to achieve a nicer shape ( which also makes my whole face look better). Since I also have hooded eyelids, an arched brow helps my face look more lifted and awake I think. The problem is that the first halves of my brows grow quickly and they get pretty wide, whereas the second halves are just a single line of light hair, which in total looks very weird: thick-thin. That's all. For this reason I have to fill in, or I'd already say draw on those parts to not look like I've overplucked my eyebrows or something. They just don't grow there and it's a shame. To fill them in I got myself a beautyuk High Brow Kit from Superdrug, about a year ago I believe. However, only recently I've found a way to make my brows look good/alright. I use the middle shade. I try to focus more on the second halves of the brows, as I already said before, because they ar

Sebamed Skincare Review

Image
Hello everyone! I finally managed to get a bit of time to write this post, and for today I decided that it was time for a review. Some weeks ago I got some bits from the brand Sebamed   and I immediately started using the products to give you an idea of what they are like and if it's worth trying them out. As you can see from the picture above, I got some cute little samples ( and I also gave 2 to my dad because they were an after shave and after sport shower gel). I got two different shower gels,an every-day hair shampoo, a cream and a body lotion. I didn't use all of them yet but I the ones I did, I quite like. All the washing products are soap free and cleanse delicately. A pH of 5.5 is ideal for our skin, so again, it's used in all of Sebamed's products, which shows that the products are really thought through and professional. I think body lotion is such an important skincare product especially in the colder months because our skin often  gets expo

My Autumn Essentials | Video

Image
Hello! Today I filmed a quick video where I showed my tips for feeling better during the Autumn-Winter season. As you already know, I'm a real Summer person and I do tend to feel sad and tired throughout the colder months- that's why I do need to find lots of entertainment and distraction from the outside. If you want to see my tips/hacks - check out the video below! :) Now I'm off to Uni and I'm not too happy about leaving my cosy room, because it is really cold and grey outside. But I sadly need to make it. Have a nice day everyone! Thanks for watching! -Olivia ~15.10.2015~

Demmers Teehaus Tea Review

Image
Hello everyone! Most of you will already know that I am a total tea addict. The only thing I drink is basically Earl Grey tea with sugar and some lemon. And I could drink it forever! I do drink other kind of tea too though, if you wonder. And here's what I'm currently sipping! Now, some days ago I kindly got sent some tea samples from the company Demmers Teehaus . If you're ever in Vienna, just visit one of their shops, because they are amazing and I think you'll love it! It's basically heaven for me! I got six different kinds of tea (out of over 300 kinds!) to try and I am so excited! So far I've tried two and am already in love!  Today I'm having Berry Cocktail, which consists of: hibiscus flowers, currants, elderflower and raisins AND it tastes amaaazing!! Such an intense, yet delicate taste. I don't like it when I have to add sugar to fruity teas, and in this case the sweetness is just perfect- which I am so glad about! I used two t

My OOTD: Statistics Skirt

Image
Today I had two lectures a uni but with a three hour-break in between, so we went to grab some lunch at Vapiano, which was just delicious! I decided to finally wear this skirt out, since I wasn't "brave" enough until now. I think it's really fun though and once I've adjusted the waist a bit ( everything seems to not fit me recently), I'll be wearing it more often I hope. This outfit was really comfy and I wasn't too cold thanks to the jumper, so I guess those clothes were a good choice for today's weather. Also, I forgot about those Vans and realised they had EXACTLY the same pattern/look as the skirt! So I had to risk it and go for this matching combo. I hope it didn't turn out too bad.   faux leather jacket - Pimkie white crochet jumper - H&M A-line skirt - Moschino (Cheap And Chic) leopard tote - FOSSIL tights - Primark red striped VANS Well, excuse the stain. It could also seem like I'm such a business/statisti

My OOTD: Park With My Friend

Image
Good morning! Yesterday I had French at Uni and afterwards I met up with my friend Nicole. We haven't seen eachother in ages and we decided it was time for a catch-up. First we went to Starbucks and since it wasn't cold and autumny outside, we went for tasty Refreshas instead of hot coffee. We sat there for quite a while, chatting away and it was just so nice! I really missed all of my girlfriends when I was away. Then we decided to go for a walk and we actually really walked far! We also had some tasty icecream and I think this might have been my last icecream of the year? (Well, real icecream) Once we came to "Burggarten", which is a pretty park in pretty much the centre of Vienna ( look it up online! :D ), we again sat down and enjoyed the sunshine and peace. When it started to get dark we went on to the city centre and also had a stroll around there, watching all the street musicians and looking at all the pretty shop windows. It was a really nice day. When I

My Favourite Autumn Eye Shadows

Image
You probably know that I am not much of an eyeshadow person when it comes to everyday make-up. However, autumn made me feel like I need to wear more make-up to add some colour to the grey, blurry days. So I actually started using eyeshadow pretty often now, even though it takes me such a long time to get ready in the mornings. I got to love my Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette,and also the Maybelline New York Eyestudio Intense Chic Palette in 01 Vivid Pinks. Apart from powder shadows, I also spoke about my Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Sticks (Sand Dune & Violet Plum) in my latest  make-up video , as well as my September Favourites . First of all I need to say that their packagings already look so nice and they are just exactly what I need. No unnecessary shades that I would ignore because I wouldn't like them.  I love that both palettes are created the way that they already have all shadows needed to create a lot of different looks without having to use

Hello October! ( First Day Of Uni & OOTD)

Image
This October is kind of an interesting one. It is already Autumn, you can really feel it. It is still pretty warm with plenty of sunshine, but I'm sure this will probably change in some weeks too. ( Halloween is also pretty soon, but I don't really mind that if I'm honest.) All the leaves are starting to fall to the ground, which makes me sad because I know after that the trees will be so dark and the whole world around us will be just dark for the next few months. But that is just one of the changes. A different thing is that today I had my first ever day of Uni and this is a big thing. I went there, not really knowing where the building is, using Google Maps and saw other people doing this too, so I knew straight away they were just as confused as me. When I finally reached the building, everyone was trying to figure out where to go next. And then I saw my friend from school. I was so greatful for this because now I knew I wasn't alone in this mess, I had s
