Hey babes! You know what made my Friday better than the sole fact that it was a Friday? The mailman ringing at my door bell with a package that I know is filled with makeup. Two lip liners, 5 lipsticks and a brush set for smokey eye. Loving life.

BH Cosmetics recently held a huge sale and as you can see, it was hard to control myself. The first two things I decided to buy were these 2 red lip liners in the shades Retro and Spiced, Retro being the lighter and vibrant one, and Spiced the darker. I needed them to match some other lipsticks I have because everyone needs at least two shades of red lipstick at home, am i right? To continue on my red lip streak, I also decided to buy a new red lipstick from their Pop Art Collection in the shade Slam. It is a beautiful pinkish red lipstick which is highly pigmented, and stays on for quite a while. With the right setting powder and lipliner, you can make it last for the whole day.







What else do you need in your make up collection? Some really good nude lipsticks. I decided to buy two pale pink shades, named Clara and Muse. Clara is a more brown one, making a subtle accent to your make up looks, and Muse is a totally pale one, almost matching my skin tone. They are both super pigmented and very light on the lips, plus it's not patchy and easy to apply.



But you know, there has always got to be something wild. And so, I bought a turquoise and brown metallic liquid lipsticks, in the shades Esmeralda & Amber. As well as the nude ones, they feel great on the lips and look amazing. BH Cosmetics really did perfect their liquid lipstick formula, as every lipstick I tried has been highly pigmented, no smudges and sooo light. Perfect, already know where I'm gonna order new lipsticks.


   



And last but not least, I really needed a new brush set so I decided to buy their Smokey Eye Brush Set, with 7 different brushes, all designed for a special purpose. From super fluffy to fine, these are perfect for easy everyday looks. 




Let me know what you think and if you have any recommendations for my future purchases!

Thank you for reading!

love always,

Women's Black Slip-on with Golden Wings and Pearls Vintage Shoes
Hello babes! Recently I was introduced to an amazing online shoe site called FSJ Shoes who make handmade shoes of all sizes, suitable for every style or occasion. You can find them at www.fsjshoes.com and trust me, you'll find something for yourself!

Nude Soft Suede Ankle Strappy Sandals



They offer so many styles and the ability to even search based on style, model and heel size! I fell in love with so many different pairs, they offer some classic models such as the strappy sandals above and some vibrant and modern pairs like the ones below. 

Floral Stiletto Heels Suede Formal Mule Sandals

I put so many of their designs on my wish list, I love how you can choose from so many safe choices you know are going to match every outfit, but at the same time FSJ Shoes have some very colorful and modern designs which you know are going to make you outfits pop! The boots I have linked below would be so good for a night out, especially because of the chunky heel (which I love hehe) and the color. Tbh, I thought of so many outfits while browsing through their website. Make sure you go check FSJ Shoes out, they offer world wide shipping, and even an option to make you own customised shoes! You won't regret it.

Even two weeks after coming back home from Greece I am still obsessing over it and constanly looking through pictures. So far, this has been the prettiest trip I've ever been on, best 4 days of my life, and I would like to thank the amazing Wipfli family for everything they've done for me! Coming back here as soon as I have a chance.



I was in Santorini for four days, from 21. to 24. of June & we stayed at an amazing hotel near Fira, Santorini's biggest city. After having a lovely dinner, while listening to some authentic music played by the locals, and a get together with the family on our first night, next day Aubrey, Gracie and I went to Oia. Of course, we spent the entire morning lounging by our pool and simply enjoying the view we had, but we decided to explore the island a bit more. Oia, or Ia as the Greeks call it, is the cutest place on the planet and exactly what I imagined Santorini to look like, filled with white houses, flowers and lovely restaurants and streets.



Every bit of this lovely town is worth taking a picture of, I swear. After roaming around for a bit, we decided to sit down for lunch and enjoy some greek specialties, such as the greek salad, feta cheese whit honey and sesame and a traditional Oian pasta, and of course, we tried Ouzo.





If you know me, you'll know I'm the biggest sucker for pretty sunsets you'll ever meet in your life, and yes, the picture under is the sunset I got to see for 3 days straight. Can't even imagine anyone ever getting tired of seeing this every day, it is a view that can heal even the most broken soul.



Next day, also our last full day there, we took a short trip to Fira, where we enjoyed a very tasty smoothie with an amazing view. What I loved about Santorini is how casual everything is, no rush, just enough time to do everything as well as have some fun. Later that day, we went on a Sunset Cruise around the island where we finally got the chance to swim in the sea! That shade of blue was so hard to resist, plus the views of the island we had were absolutely breathtaking.



The perfect view for the end of this perfect trip was watching this sunset, in the middle of the sea, with almost no one around us. We were all just sitting on the deck, silently watching the Sun go down bit by bit. Can't even remember the last time I felt that calm, relaxed and blessed.

So yes, Santorini is beautiful, stunning, amazing, and every single good adjective I can't think of right now. Greek culture, food and architecture has been some of the best I've seen & experienced in my life, and first chance I get, I am coming back to this tiny bit of paradise on Earth.
