Since Christmas is always very fancy in our house, I also make sure my outfit and make-up look pretty. And since I wear the same make-up every day, it's quite hard for me to go for something else ( mainly cause I suck at everything else that is not mascara and eyeliner). When I got my early Christmas gift from Eryk two years ago, which was the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette, it made things a bit easier. My Christmas make-up this year will look like this: I think it is not overly different. It looks quite delicate, yet pretty enough to wear on a special day. I'll quickly talk you through all the products I've used, so you can recreate this look if you want, or get some of the products in case you liked them. Starting off with the base... My make-up base is always the same, except for the powder that I sometimes have to switch because of a tan or fading tan etc. First step is of course concealer. Back in the UK I always used the Collection c...

The last week before Christmas just began and now it is really just around the corner. And if I'm honest, I still don't quite now what I'd like to get this year. However, I came up with a few ideas that would make great gifts for me, so let's have a look! 1. Moschino - Chic Petals perfume Before I first discovered this perfume, I was totally in love with Escada's Cherry in the air and when they discontinued it my heart pretty much broke. It took me some time to find another perfume that I'd like just as much, and it's the Chic petals perfume by Moschino. It smells very glamourous, though still pretty sweet, which I really like. I have already been asked SO many times what perfume I'm using and I am still surprised every time I hear that question. It is obviously not a regular drug store perfume, so it's a teeny tiny bit more pricey, however, it's very intense and lasts for ages! ( I got my last one in April and I will still have i...

On Friday evening we made our way to Poland, which means that Eryk and I got to see each other again after sooo long! We are very happy about our reunion and since I'm leaving on Thursday probably, we are trying to make the most of our time together. We're going for walks, to town and we also had a little barbecue yesterday. I am also very happy that the weather is so incredible here! I seriously feel like I'm on summer holidays and I guess I'll be very disappointed once I have to come back in a few days. So, I wanted to show you my yesterday's OOTD since we didn't take any photos today yet. Hope you enjoy it! :)   lipstick: Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Happy Nude Year   floral jumpsuit: H&M black suede tassel bag: H&M black flats: Polish local shop   Have a nice evening everyone! Hope to speak to you soon again. :)  +Sorry for no vlog, the next one will be up on Sunday as usual. -Olivia ~23.05.2016~  

Hello my dear friends! Uni got a bit stressful recently because I have some upcoming exams and obviously that's the reason why I don't get to blog really. And trust me - it annoys me so much! But now I have a short break from uni so it's a good time to upload a new post before I head back for some more classes. Right? I actually wanted to take photos in the park beside uni because the weather is so pretty, but unfortunately none of my friends were there to take some quick shots. And now I sadly have to share some lower quality photos with you but I like this outfit so much that I just can't not show you! I applied some eyeshadow today because I thought it would match the blouse nicely. I used my Bourjois Quad in Rose Quartz and I really like those delicate shades! I wanted to apply a nude-pinky lipstick but due to my massive cold sore I just couldn't. I hate it when I get them. They ruin my whole look but I got used to them already and know there's noth...

Hello everybody! After more than a week I am finally back again! I am really sorry for the lack of posts recently but I was focussing a bit more on a few videos that you can find over on my YT channel ( here !) Apart from that I started uni and wotking again, which means that now I am busy full-time pretty much. The only day I have off is Sunday- which is why I finally got to write a new post for you today. I am a bit stressed out these days because of all those busy days- I also didn't get to do my homework yet, which is due tomorrow ( or even tonight).  So right after finishing off this post I will try and do all of what I was supposed to do during the week. Today I wanted to write a bit about spring, and why I really want winter to be over already. I am a summer person- I need warm, sunny days to feel full of energy and to be happy. To feel a bit better I buy myself bouquets of fresh tulips because they are my favourite flowers and once they are available in...

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...

November is already coming to an end, which means that Christmas time is pretty much an official thing now, even though it doesn't feel like it's nearly December already. I am a bit nervous and not too excited for the time before Christmas actually since I'll have my uni exams and I am still not prepared and so stressed out. That's also the reason why I don't get to blog too much recently- I just have so much to study all day long! But today is a good day to share my November Beauty Favourites with you. ( It looks like I'm actually ill because of some suspicious symptoms but I will find out more later in the afternoon when I go to the GP, which means that I don't go to uni today I think, and that's why I have time to write this entry) I've used the products below pretty much daily over the last weeks of November and most of them aren't new, but I had a little break from them and kind of "rediscovered" the this month. I...

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...

I finally got to film a new make-up video/tutorial and I think it turned out pretty nice. I wanted to film this update make-up routine for you because maybe you're asking yourself sometimes when checking my blog pictures or even watching my latest vlogs, what I use on my lips or eyes or wahetever. So, you should watch the video below now and I'll let you know below about the products I've used, if you're interested in them. Enjoy! Base : Benefit Porefessional Primer Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener ( Bisque 3 ) Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer ( Ivory 001 ) Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder ( Beige Claire 53 ) Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzer ( 52 ) Sleek Blush ( Rose Gold ) Wibo Diamond Illuminator Highlighter Eyes : Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick ( Sand Dune ) Urban Decay Naked On The Run Glittery Shadow ( Dive ) Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil ( Brown ) Rimmel Scandaleyes Gel Liner ( 001 Black ) Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycr...

I can't believe that the first week of September is already over and Summer is pretty much gone now. I felt like doing an August Favourite's post on beauty but didn't get to do it until now, so I hope you won't be too confused since it's a biiit late for that Maybe you'll find it my reviews helpful though. :) As you can see, I've collected a few things that I kept using over and over again during the Summer months, and especially during August. Starting with the first product top left: It's my beautyuk eyebrow kit which I got ages ago and used occasionally in the beginning. With time however, it got a product I've been using about twice a week or so. I have pretty weird eyebrows because the first half of them gets really out of control and then the second part kind of never grows. So my second half of brows is very thin and looks really bad - like 90's eyebrows you could say. Now over Summer, I feel like that thin part got a bit lighte...

Hello everyone! As you already know, I spent my Summer holidays in Poland ( as usual) and I also got myself some things that I showed in my latest haul video! Definitely go and check it out below! I bought things in all the possible cathegories, like beautym fashion, home or jewelry, so I tried not to make the video too long and too boring. I'm happy with all my purchases and would surely buy more if I had more money but at the moment I should probably save up, get rid of stuff I don't wear and maybe then buy something new. This morning I went to the supermarket to get myself some breakfast and I found the Alpro Coconut& Rice drink I used to put in my porridge back in Edinburgh, so I got this. I also saw McVities Digestives and nearly cried because I've never seen them in Vienna before. I'm happy that we have them in shops now because they will remind me of my stay in the UK, which I already miss so much. Also, make sure to check out my latest vlog , wher...

Today in the morning Eryk arrived in Edinburgh and I am relieved that he is home and safe. However, we are sad because Eryk got to see a pretty ill-looking Maya and we hope she will get better now that he is with her. I spent the last two days by the pool because it was incredibly hot and I tanned some more, which is great. Tomorrow morning I'm off for another small adventure - I'm visiting my cousin and will be staying with her for the next three days, which means that we're gonna have a lot of fun and hopefully not too much money will be spent. But now, here are some photos I've taken lately! :) My bikini bottoms are from H&M and they look so nice with tanned skin! Also, the water was ice cold and I basically only sat in it for a while. I'm currently wearing my fake nails from Primark and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them! They were only £1 and I've been wearing them for nearly a week I think. When they fall off I make sure I don't loose them to st...

I always wanted to film some make-up videos but I don't have a good tripod nor good light to film such nice close up's. So even if I try to take make-up pictures it is extremely difficult to capture the make-up. I basically look very, very weird on such close up pictures and then I always decide better not to do make-up posts because I am just so bad at them. But today I thought I'd show you what I usually apply to my face in the morning and how it looks like after a whole day of running around in the rain, trying to find something without big success. To start with, I use the REN vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel around my eyes and sometimes I also feel like moisturising, so I also use my Tolpa mattifying face cream, but usually I do in the evenings. Then, I use my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in the shade 010 Ivory - I apply it underneath my eyes, on all the spots and red bits of my face. Once I'm done with that, I use my Bourjois Healthy Balance powder in 53 an...
