Smart but Casual

 

Not every day you could wear stiletto sandals in the winter in Europe. But we are lucky that the weather in Greece does allow that sometimes. And since fashion has no limits I don't mind wearing open shoes with tights (not always, though these look really cool with black opaque tights in my opinion)

Clean Fresh Radiant Skin

I`m getting more & more obsessed  with quality Beauty products. For that reason I`ll try dedicate more post to my favourite beauty essential. And as a fresh start, I must start with a clean face. First thing I do when I get home is remove my make up(as much as I love applying make up taking it off is very important for me) & wash my face from all the dirt we gather every day form the pollution.

I try to change my products at least every season, as skin needs change, as well. In the winter I relay more on exfoliation & nourishing masks and summer is more about protection & hydration( as always)

These are the products I use at the moment:

From left to right:

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel - I use this once a week, it gently removes dead skin cells without any rubbing required, and there are no harsh or abrasive particles that can damage your skin. Really great product, worth the money.And despite that the tube doesn't` look really big on the picture( it`s 50 ml) you don`t need to apply a lot of product, so it lasts something like 3 months.

 

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads- these I use almost daily, they really leave the skin bright and glowing, they are quite gentle, but for a sensitive skin( like mine) to reduce the redness, best to be used not more than 5 times a week.

 

Clinique Rinse-off Foaming Cleanser- simple creamy, unscented, non drying cleanser, leaves skin soft & clean.

 

Korres Ginseng Vitamins & Minerals-  to beat the winter cold & dry weather, I got these few days ago, so far so good, they give me the instant boost & protection( they have all the essential vitamins & minerals human body needs a day, plus ginseng extract) the only thing I could change about this product is the Tangerine taste( I kind of not like Tangerines) I would like to try the other variations of Vitamins & Minerals in the Korres series ( there are some with Spirulina,  ACEROLA & VITAMIN C & Royal Jelly)

 

Down bottom from all the products on the picture:

Eye Patch Collagen Crystal Mask- I get these in pack of 5 or 10 from Ebay( they have them on Amazon, too) I`m not sure if they really reduces the puffiness or have anti aging benefits, but they are definitely worth the try after a long day at work. They have a jelly kind of consistency & are packed in individual  sealed envelopes, which keeps them moist & away from germs. I just leave them for 15-20 min & my eyes feel much rested.

Happy New Year

 

The years are too short, the days are too long. I still can`t believe how quick the last year past & it`s already 2013.

I wasn't in a mood of huge party celebration & I didn't hear about any interesting events. So I just spend the last hour of 2012 & the first 2h of the New Year at the same place where i met 2012.

Nothing really thrilling happened to me in 2012, I`m just grateful that me & my family were in good health. We did couple of nice,  memorable trips, as well. I hope 2013 is even better & I get to travel & shop more :

The tradition  New year- New dress was kept & I was really excited that my dress came on time.
