Lip love

Since I was a little girl, I have been loving lip-products, I loved their variety of colours, their packaging, their 'magical' form. My first make-up product was actually a lipgloss that I loved to death. Since always I saw something amazing and inspiring in the way one single stroke of a lipstick could change your whole image. In my life I had gone through a great amount of lip-products but my all-time-favourites still find place in my collection.

I decided to present here my TOP 10 lip-products - all that I love and use whenever I have a chance :)

1. LA ROCHE-POSAY Nutritic Lips TRANSFORMING CARE FOR VERY DRY LIPS - this is the best moisturising balm in the world! Without which my lips wouldn't be as soft and subtle as they are.

2. CLARINS Gloss Appeal no. 04 Sorbet - my favourite lipgloss ever, it is a perfect match for my lips' colour. Unfortunately it has been discontinued and it is almost impossible to get :/

3. MAC Pretty Please LUSTRE - the prettiest pearly pink lipstick I have ever tried on, I use it whenever I feel like I need to make myself look even more elegant-pale. I recommend it to every fair-skin girl in the world, it stays on forever and looks fantastic!

4. CLARINS Joli Rouge Brillant Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick no. 10 Sorbet - my second favourite lipstick in very bright but at the same time delicate pink. It is actually CLARINS Gloss Appeal no. 04 Sorbet in form of a lipstick :) It stays on for so long that you can actually forget you're wearing it on.

5. REVLON Colorburst Lip Butter no. 005 Sugar Frosting - WOW! in my opinion REVLON Lip Butters are the biggest revelation among all lip-products of the year 2012! I am literally unable to imagine my life without these products. My favourite one is light pink which looks great with whatever you wear and at the same time it makes your lips very hydrated. Only downside is that it can smudge when left in a warm place.

6. AGATHA RUIZ DE LA PRADA Fragranced Balm KIWI - one of my favourite summer purchases :) It smells amazingly, moisturises lips and looks extremely cheerfully and summery!

7. CLINIQUE Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour no. 06 Pink me up - the best spring & autumn lipgloss that gives your lips a great amount of colour but doesn't make them feel heavy!

8. SEPHORA Maniac Matte mat 03 - a nude lipstick which is perfect for autumn and smells like fresh apples. Looks dazzling when combined with dark red lipgloss or a light peachy one!

9. LANCOME Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origin Yayol Kusama no. 122 Rose Blossom - quite a nude, peachy lipgloss that brights up your lips but isn't sticky and stays on forever.

10. HAWAIIAN TROPIC Sunkissed Moisturising Lip Gloss spf 25 Mango-Papaya - summer lipgloss that provides care for your lips and smells like fresh-fruit salad <3

Boostcase revolution

Ok, so I've decided to write about one of the best accessories I've ever bought for my phone, because I am so happy with it that I can't imagine not writing about it in here :) Sooo... I'm an owner of iPhone 4S and as one of many I have to struggle with my phone's battery short 'living-time' (I especially mean that whenever I take photos or play on my phone, the battery doesn't last the whole day what is really problematic when I'm out for a long time). And so during this summer holiday I visited an Apple Store in South America and my phone was almost out of it's battery. I decided to purchase an external battery and the only things I knew were that I wanted it to be quite light and not protruding from my phone. Actually that was my Mum who found Boostcase first and when she showed it to me I was sure that's what I was looking for.
I got the Boostcase hybrid - white/blue external battery and the set consisted of a cute light blue case and a white sleeve-battery. The great thing about it is that it is really easy to put on the phone and the whole charging thing goes on extremely fast. I have been using this battery for almost 2 months now and I really enjoy it! What's great you can get it almost everywhere in the USA and in pretty many places in the South America, unfortunately it is very hard to find it in Europe at the moment :/ The battery itself may seem a bit pricey but in my opinion it is totally worth it :)

'Watch' dreaming

Lately I've been thinking of my whole jewellery + watch collection and I've realised that among all the rings, bracelets, necklaces I lack an elegant watch that I could also wear on daily basis. Right now I'm loving my SWATCH MISTER PURE Original Chrono Plastic watch that I got 2 years ago but I've been thinking of buying a new, less sporty and a bit more fancy one that I could still wear almost every day. And luckily I found one that I fell in love with and I'm planning to buy it as soon as I can find it in store. The watch about which I'm talking about is Michael Kors Rose Golden Oversized Chronograph Watch and it is literally one of the prettiest rose gold watches I have ever seen!

'Inspirationals'

I would lie if I said that I don't find little 'inspirationals' around me every single day. Even small and casual things make my day and help me stay happy <3 I decided to make a list of the 'beautiful inspirationals' that surround me on the daily basis, regarding that each of them means a lot to me and expresses me in some way!

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRATIONALS <3
1. my phone & laptop - I know it sounds silly but I really adore both of them and they make it possible for me to stay in contact with all people I know and I care about and both of them keep me well organised :)
2. my mug - I got it as a birthday present few years ago from my Dad and I really love the quote on it, it cheers me up whenever I see it
3. my Pandora bracelet - this bracelet is full of little charms that refer to the most important events of my life. I wear it every day since I got it 4 or 5 years ago and it is like a 'living album' to me
4. my grandma's watch - this is the most important token of my grandma to me (of course beside all the wonderful memories that I have) and whenever I look at it, it makes me feel stronger
5. my ideas & list notebook - in here I write, draw, plan and create splotches
6. my purse - it is kind of weird but whenever I choose a purse that I want to wear the particular day it has to reflect my mood, not only match my outfit
7. music - whatever I listen to it always reflects my emotions and thoughts that are running through my head
8. people <3 - well, maybe this is not a typical 'inspirational' but still all amazing people I know make me feel inspired and I can't imagine my life without them!!!

The quote of my life...

This is a quote which I found at a very important stage of my life - when I experienced various things for the first time, things that seemed unthinkable and partially terrifying. Once I read it, I felt that all my weakness has disappeared and finally I could fear nothing…
