Hello ladies, Blue has been my favorite color since I was a little girl and yet I do not wear it enough.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream "Prague"

Hello ladies, Everybody knows and loves NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, and if you follow me, you noticed that I use them a lot in my looks. That is because they are inexpensive, resistant, soft and you have a wide range of colors to choose from. And because they are named after world cities, I have the habbit of picking one up in every city that i visit. Last aquisition is "Prague", a beautiful dark purple-ish-pink shade, perfect for summer. It has the same mouse like consistency as the other shades, it applies beautifully from the first try without beeing patchy, dries matte (as the name suggests) and lasts for at least 5 hours. Kisses, Julia

Girls Night

Hello ladies, I have been sitting on these pictures for some time now and I have no idea why I did not post this look before. I bought the L'Orรฉal Color Riche Shine lipstick in 906 #Girls Night some time in April, if I am not mistaking, and wore it a few times. Love the color, the way it applies, the fact that is so creamy and hydrating, but I HATE the fact it has no lasting power.

Let's Talk - Sunscreen

Hello ladies, Summer is in full bloom and we all like short shorts and summer dresses feel when we go to the beach, park, cafe or just ridding a bicycle to work. This is not exactly the post I thought I would ever write, because my blog was suppose to be all about makeup, colors and glitter, but lately I have been hearing, from different people I know, that they do not wear sunscreen when leaving the house, or use olive oil as solar protection at the beach, because they still want to tan. Things that left me thinking is that people, even after at least 10 years of been bombarded by cosmetic companies, medical champagne and news coverage, with information about damage sun rays can have on skin , do not know the importance of wearing sunscreen. What is sunscreen?  Sunscreen, also known as sunblock, sun cream or suntan lotion, is a lotion, spray, gel or other type of product that absorbs or reflects some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thus helps protect agai
