August make-up shopping


How many posts I've posted today? eheh...don't worry, I'm soon off to the beach :)
Just wanted to share some makeup love with you, showing the things I've bought this morning when I shopped for the prizes for my giveaway...
So I got...the Johnson's cleansing wipes 3 in 1. The best wipes ever! I've tried several, but these are the best so far. You don't need to spend big money on wipes, these are wonderful! They clean all the makeup off of your face, but also moisturize it! That's right, you heard it... it is true! They give you this wonderful clean and fresh sensation, leave your skin soft and I think they unclog your pores too! I don't know, I just feel awesome when I use them!

Then I've got a Debby (it's actually a girls' range from Deborah) nail polish in 26, which is a very cute deep red, and a Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish in a lovely rose-nude color called "Rose Libertine" (more appropriate for the summer)...The Debby polish only cost me €2,50 , and it is a pretty good product for that price!

The most expensive thing I've got is the Shiseido cream (or gel if you want) liner. It costs more then 26€, good lord, it better be good! I really wanted to try out a cream liner, they're not so popular in this country.
I'm gonna review it as soon as I get the chance to try it, and maybe also the hang of how to apply it properly. It comes with a very very pretty and awesome mini angled brush, which has a cap - so at least I know the quality of the product is top notch (of course, it's Shiseido). Now it's only up to me to learn how to apply it.

So anyways, I'm off to eat lunch and get ready to go to the beach.
That's enough posting for today, but please comment me, comment my looks, and enter the giveaway, the prizes are amazing!!!

Have a jolly good day you all,
Lyd

Follow me, and win, win, win...Italian makeup! *CLOSED*

Hello lovely followers,
I have decided to have a giveaway, to celebrate my increasing number of followers (and to hopefully have some more).
All you have to do is:
1. Be a follower of my blog (non-followers' comment will be deleted);
2. Comment on this post saying "enter me";
3. Refer to your friends/followers about this giveaway, with a post on your blog. Please include the url for the referal in your entering comment. This way I am sure that you're spreading the word (this is a mandatory condition in order to win)

How simple is that? The winner will be picked using www.random.com
Closing date is August, 20th - so you have more than two weeks to enter and spread the word, and earn a chance to win these beautiful, beautiful prizes I've got for you like...an hour ago!

As I had a limited budget, and I'm not doing a 100 followers giveaway now, there is going to be only one winner - and I grabbed just a few things. However, I guarantee these are premium products, and the total value of this giveaway is around 40 euros (makeup is very expensive here!)

Now, on to the prizes - from left to right:


1. Mini Pupa Diva's Lashes mascara in black
2. A wonderful Pupa smokey eyes palette. As you can see, it has instructions to make that cute look. Those colors are TOP -NOTCH QUALITY, and last long.
3. Deborah Lip liner
4. Deborah coordinating lip plumper (glossy)

This picture has been taken with flash, the following is without flash.



I think this is a wonderful giveaway, personally I love all this stuff.
Pupa is a famous brand here in Italy, they have some stores outside Italy too, but they're in like..New York, Montréal, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo... you know huge cities, so they're very hard to find for a non-Italian. I'm giving you the chance to have a Pupa experience.

Deborah is a less expensive brand, but they sure do their things since...ages...my mom used to use Deborah all the time when I was just a little girl.

So, if you wanna have all this stuff, just follow the rules.

Good luck everyone,
xoxo

"Dolly look" using the Sleek Acid palette


Here is a simple look using the lovely shimmery fuchsia in the Acid palette.
You will have to excuse me if the picture is not great, but somehow my little digital camera has an aweful flash that ruins every look I do when I take pics under the neon lights I have at my parents' home.
Anyway, it's kind of a "Dolly look", and I think it is very pretty for those who have blue, green or grey eyes. Pink really highlights those colors (although my picture really doesn't do it justice).

For this look I used:
The lightest peachy color in the Clarins' Nature Temptation palette (on the lid and on the brow bone)
The lovely shimmery pink on the Sleek i-Divine Acid palette (on the corner of my lid, then blended onto the crease, right above the crease, and on the lower lashline)
A Pupa shimmery black on a limited edition palette (as the eyeliner, and blended on the lower lashline)
A Revlon black eyeliner pencil on the waterline
Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara.



Hope you enjoyed it,
xoxo,
Lyd

Beach bum

Hello lovelies,
just a quick, non-makeup post to show you were I was today with my lovely boyfriend:This place is called "Spiaggia Bianca", which literally means "White Beach".
This is actually a tiny beach, detached from the main beach of Spiaggia Bianca.
We went there because there are just too many tourists here in this time of the year. It is lovely, the water is cristal clear, the water temperature was wonderful (especially compared to the 37°C outside the water)...and I have finally got a tan! My reddish cheeks are going to turn to a golden glow by tomorrow or the day after, yay!!!

And...meet the person who put a spell on my heart: Domenico
I love him.

xoxo y'all,
Lyd
