I am still very shocked that 2015 has come to an end so fast! I got to do so many things this year and even though many plans of mine didn't work out, I still have some amazing memories. I finished both my courses at Edinburgh College and graduated with an A in both French and Spanish, which I am very proud of. I got into the University of Vienna and am now studying something that I am pretty interested in, and even though I still have to resit one exam in early February, I am happy that I already did pass one straight away. Eryk and I went to Poland for our Summer Holidays and we had some amazing weeks there that I won't forget. Unfortunately I had to leave behind my love, Eryk, in Scotland and make my way back to Vienna in order to study, which was a very hard decision and I am still very sad about the fact that we are separated again, but for this reason I am hoping for a better year. I hope that this year we will figure out a way to spend as much time together as possib...

Hello everybody! Finally I have some time to blog again after all those busy Christmas days. There was definitely way too much food and I was either eating or laying with a full belly on the sofa over the last days. But now that Christmas is over, it is time again to come back to normal life. For this reason, I went to the hairdresser yesterday morning and decided it was time for a pretty big change. Then I met up with my cousin Kinga and we also had a stroll around town and some delicious pizza and then I had another toe nail "surgery" in the evening. So, you all know how long my hair was and I am incredibly proud of it but since it's growing so fast and I have to wash and blow dry it so often too, it does get damaged, which you can't really see that much in photos. But I could see all those dry, split ends and the ends also felt very rough and it was just not the thick hair I used to have. The hairdresser said she'd only cut off the ends and I said she ...

Hello everyone! I guess this is my last post before Christmas, even though I really wanted to do one about Christmas outfit ideas, like I did last year, but since I've already packed for Poland, I can't show you now what I want to wear this year. But I have to say that I packed all of those dresses , which means that most likely I'll wear exactly the same things that I did last year! But back to the topic of today's post: It's empties time again! I really waited until our last full day in Vienna before going to Poland to write this post ( finally!). I've collected way too many products this time, but this is due to the fact that I'm not doing empties posts regularly ( which is a big mistake). So let's start with make-up removers. I don't know how I managed to use up so many of them! My tiny Bioderma Sebium micellar water was emptied some time ago before I decided to finish off my Hydrabio one, because it was still half full. I really like...

I can't believe that Christmas is already in 4 days! Time flies by way too quickly and I'm shocked I've already had my first uni exams. The previous weeks have been so stressful for me with all the revision I had to do but now it's over- at least for some time. I passed one out of two exams, which means that I need to resit the second one in February, but I hope that by then it will all be good. Now I'll finally have one or two weeks off before I start revising again, so I can finally relax and have some time for myself, and my family. Here's the vlog, where you can see and hear everything that was going on last week! And also don't forget to check the link in the description box, to see what I was doing exactly one year ago! :) Hope you're all having a good and calm pre-Christmas time! :) -Olivia ~20.12.2015~

After a long break I am back and am very excited to share some beautiful products with you! A few weeks back I got a Goldwell Kerasilk Control shampoo and hair mask and first of all I was amazed by the design of those products. They look so luxurious with thei gold packaging, very classic without any patterns or anything. And they have the most beautiful smell ever! I would say theu smell like premium fragrance- just so luxurious unique. The shampoo and mask are actually high-quality salon products and I have to say that I am in love with them! This range is created to smoothen your hair and it has brilliant colour protection too. During the process of washing my hair earlier on I could already feel the difference between this shampoo and my usual one. The hair is immediately smooth and so silky like never before! I haven't used the mask yet because I was in a hurry, but I will pamper myself after this stressful week is over. The mask comes with a lid that you screw off...

Uni is a bit too much for me at the moment because I study all the time but I still have more to revise than I already did by now and this is just a nightmare! (since I have 9 days left!) And on top of that I had a dentist appointment this morning, and the dentist is pretty much my biggest fear in life. I absolutely can't stand even knowing that one day I'll need to go back for an appointment. And today I didn't have the most relaxing appointment cause I had to get two fillings and got so much anestethics because the pain was unbelievable. I was mentally tired after that, so my mum and I went to do some Christmas shopping and I got myself two early Christmas gifts too. ( And I think I deserve a little treat after all the stress I've been through over the last weeks. I mean the stress will go on until I've passed my exams, but still) I got this super cute make-up bag and a beautifully scented candle. The make-up bag was too pretty and too handy not to bu...

Some time ago I was talking about a project I'm working on and now that it's already filmed and up on my Youtube channel I can finally say what it was. Obviously, I was quite excited and now that it's live I think I'm even more excited and proud! I am so happy that I got such an amazing opportunity! So, my friend Julia and I were filming a video for Bioderma Austria about the famous Micellar water, because now Bioderma products are also available in some Viennese pharmacies, which is great and I've been waiting for this for so long! Since my friend and I both have different skin types we could test two different versions of the Micellar Water and we filmed our impressions etc. I'd appreciate it if you'd go and check out the video, even though it is in German, but maybe there is someone here who's never heard of Bioderma, so they can go and see what it looks like! We had an amazing time filming this and I have to say that it was Julia's f...

Today I'm back on the blog with a couple of goodies from Anatomicals.  So I got a lip balm, a joint & muscle rub and three face masks to present to you. The first thing I have to say about those products is: How cool is that design?! It's so simple but then again the product descriptions are so on point and you really get what you need. The lip balm seriously got my favourite lip product and this is the only thing I'm wearing on my lips lately! It's a lip balm that smells so, so good of cherries and it's called " Never lose your cherry "! It's such a fruity, summery smell that I sometimes open the tube just to smell it. Seriously.  It is a clear gloss, with absolutely no colour actually, so you could also wear it on top of a lipstick to achieve a glossy look.  The size of the lipgloss also seems so generous to me. You get 15 ml in this squeezy tube and I feel like those kind of glosses are usually way smaller. I carry this lipg...
