September's empties

Autumn is officially here and I kinda like it.... September for me is always a new beginning, a new season and stuff. Plussss, My birthday is on September!! I didn't really do much this month, because I'm saving money, there's a possibility of me moving out, going to pastry school the following month which is in a different city, far away from mine, so I need to save as much as I can, I didn't even buy a single makeup or skin care product that it wasn't really necessary for me. Now you know I am talking serious. Now, let's move to the empties of this month and to be honest those empties mostly have to do with samples. 

August's empties

Heeey everyone!! Summer is gone for good.... It was a nice one .... I went to sea, met some new places, had my application for the pastry school done andddddd I am part of a new collaboration called Beauties on Fire. It was awesome, and those were just the highlights. Enough of that, I'm already late, like a week back for my monthly empties, I usually post that on the end of the month or at least at the 1st of the new month but this time I'm super late for this post. So let's stop wasting time and cut to the chase.

Review: Shiseido UV Protective Liquid Foundation

This is my first foundation which is not from a drugstore. I wanted to try a Shiseido product for a looooong time and finally I got it, with a discount actually, 30% off. I have been informed that a shop was having some offers on some brands and Shiseido was one of them. So I decided to buy a foundation, wasn't sure which one but I explained what I needed to the lady on the shiseido stand. I still have the Vichy Dermablend foundation with a lot of product left in it.

I always want a foundation that provides full coverage but doesn't give a heavy feeling on the skin. That one is actually medium coverage so I use extra concealers to cover some flaws sometimes and feels kinda sticky on my skin. I mostly use this when the sun is up because it has SPF30 that protects from UVA/UVB rays, which I appreciate. The lady who sold it to me said that it is water resistant so I can wear it at the beach as well. I'm not planning to do so because it has an orange undertone while my skin has a yellow undertone so you can understand that it's not my perfect match foundation plus it's kinda darker so I'll look ridiculous wearing something like that at the beach. Now I'm having my clothes to cover the rest of my skin color but that won't happen there. Yes, I bought the lighter color called light ivory, of that range but it's still not light enough for my pale skin.

Beauties On Fire : Summer Style

Platia Ammos beach, Larisa, Greece

This week's Beauties on Fire theme post is summer style. So I will create for you my favorite makeup look for the summer. Besides that, I'm going to share with you some of my favorite skincare tips for this season. It's kinda irrelevant, considering that the post's name includes the word style but when I hear summer, I think sunny beaches (that's why I chose this particular pic above)  and sunscreen. Call me phyco but on the daytime I won't leave the house without having sunscreen on the uncovered, without clothes skin. I'm a pale girl living in a sunny country and in contrary to some other ladies I don't enjoy melting my skin under the sun. Sun is good, sun provides us vitamin D and that's all. We shouldn't overdo it people, that's never good.

Sunday-Funday, for me at least (pt 2)

Heeeeeeey guys! A relaxing Sunday post is here again. I am having this post today because I kinda changed my routine. Mostly I changed the products I am using. You see, I love trying new beauty products, plus I always change my skin care routine because I don't want my skin to get used to the products I'm using. When this happens, the cream doesn't do the job it's supposed to.

Sunbathing, yay or nay?

Today I am not going to tell you about beauty products, this post is mostly about skin care and health. You see, summer is a hot, sunny season that most of us enjoy spend time outside and sunbathing for hours. This, sometimes might be harmful for our skin and health. So why would we do that to our skin?
