Nail of the day - Flamingo Coral

This is the nail polish I got at Topshop while I was in London and obviously it had to be a pink color, since I'm obsessed. This one reminds me of "Rose Libertine" by Rimmel but it is a little bit more light and vibrant.

It's called "Flamingo Coral" and this is what it looks like under natural light:


It applies very thick which I think is nice because you could get away with just one coat, even though I did two just in case.


Do you own any Topshop nail polishes? Which one is your favorite?

Chatterbox by MAC: review + swatch

Chatterbox is a MAC lipstick that fits into their "Amplified" category, which means that it is very pigmented and it has a cream finish (it's not matte but it's not shimmery).
I would describe it as a bright pink color with a slight hint of coral, even though it looks darker in this picture.


As you might know, MAC lipsticks come in a black bullet like stick/tube/package which makes it look sleek and nice but it's not so much a good thing if you have a few of them and don't want to look to the bottom of it to see the color.

This one is more like the real color
I think this color is perfect for the summer time and I recommend it with a light pink color on your cheeks; I think that looks really cute. I also picture someone wearing this lipstick while wearing a bright floral pattern summer dress (but that's just an idea haha). 


This swatch is pretty close to the real color, if not perfect, so look at this last picture instead of the other ones if you're trying to decide if you like the color or not. 

I'm pretty happy with this lipstick so far and it applies smooth even when my lips are a bit dry and chapped.

Nail of the day - Neon party

"Flip Flop Fantasy" by China Glaze is the perfect nail polish color for this summer. I was very impressed with the color itself because I thought it was going to look worse on the nails than the color you can see on the bottle, but I was wrong. The color is the same: neon coral.

Depending on the light it can look either orange, pink or coral; but I think this last one is its real color because it's the one you see most of the time with natural lighting.


I was surprised again when I painted the first nail and saw it was matte. A friend told me that all neon nail polishes are matte the other day, but I didn't know it when I was painting them. If you like matte nails then you're going to love this nail polish but if you prefer glossy nails, you can always apply a top coat.


You can get it HERE!

Summer Haul

I want to show you a few things I got over these past 2 weeks, but first of all I'm going to show you the bag I got at Zara that I said I was going to show a long time ago.

I love this bag so much! I think the studs make it even better.

You can also wear it with the sides sticking out, but I think that looks weird (even though that's how they had it in the store).

Now that I've showed you that, let's keep going with what I got recently. From Lefties:

 You guys know I love bows!


  This is a cool top because it has neon pink and I also love the flamingos kind of fading color.


I've been looking for a dress like this for a long time and I'm so happy I found it

Then from Stradivarius I got this denim jacket
 
And also a wallet that has a ton of space 

Then I went to Blanco and got 2 things. First I got this clutch that I'm using as a laptop case for my 11" one

And second, this orange/coral flowy top 

Last but not least I went to Kiko because my sister wanted a nail polish but I saw this and had to get it, just so I could show it to you guys. I thought it was pretty close to Chanel's Peridot, and I'm going to be doing a nail of the day so you can see. Keep in mind that it was 3.5€ instead of the 25€ that Chanel nail polishes cost.

Topshop and Forever 21 haul!

I recently did a little bit of online shopping since I don't have these stores in my city (well, I actually think there is a Topshop but it's not close to my house) and I want to show you some of the stuff I got.

First, from Topshop I got this lovely sweatshirt or jumper (however you call this type of top) which is from the brand Illustrated People.


And I know it's still winter and it's very cold where I live but I just couldn't resist. I had to buy a pair of sunglasses that came with a cute cheetah pouch/sleeve/thingy to keep them in.


Then from Forever 21 I got three different skirts since I'm in love with skirts. These first two were only 5€ each and I got them in a kind of rusty color and burgundy.


The third skirt is a little bit different and it's more summery so I won't be wearing it soon. I just love coral and when I saw this, I fell in love. 


Accessories are always nice, and since I love necklaces and Forever 21 has really cheap jewelry, I decided to get this long and big pale pink necklace.


Last, but not least (since actually I'm very excited about it) I got a pair of high heels. These are about 5 inches but since they have a platform, they're easy to walk with; and the heel is pretty big also.
