ESSENCE SEASON OF EXTREMES NEON ORANGE NAIL POLISH

This spring/summer's biggest trend are neon colors. I had to pick up this beautiful neon orange nail polish by Essence - 03 PIMP MY BRIGHT. It's from their whole line of "extreme" colors: Season of Extremes.

And when the sun finally came out after days and days of rain, my mother surprised me with beautiful orange roses which reminded me of this nail polish so I was tempted to wear it again.

COLLISTAR ROSSETTO DESIGN LIPSTICK

What is it called when your man knows you so well, he buys you a lipstick in the exact color you've been wanting for months? The very best boyfriend in the world!

My boyfriend surprised me with this beauty for Christmas. As I was removing the Christmas paper he so carefully wrapped it in (well, I'm guessing somebody did it for him, but oh well), I really didn't know what to expect. When I saw it was a lipstick, a smile appeared across my face. When I saw the color - bullseye. I had been looking for a true, nice, dark red lipstick for months, and I never seemed to find it. The ones I found were either too bright, too dark, too brown, too purple, too something. Obviously, I wasn't looking in the right places, and since I avoid expensive makeup counters because they make my heart melt away, I never knew what is hiding on them.

The color is called SCARLATTO, it is the number 11. Collistar is one of those brands on the more expensive side, so I never checked how much this lipstick costs. I think seeing the price tag would make me feel guilty.

Thank you, love. :)

DEBORAH ROSETTO MILANORED LIPSTICK

Just because I didn't mention buying make up in my "come back" post, does not mean that I have neglected my obsession with lipsticks and nail polishes. :)

This lipstick is one of my favorite lipsticks. The color is 01, a gorgeous pinky nude. When I have it on, it doesn't really make a difference to my whole look, you cannot see it from far away, but from up close, it gives my lips such a nice shine and just a touch of pinky nude color. Also, it is very moisturizing. I don't know why I am always attracted to colors like these - most girls find them pointless. I don't like pure nude lipsticks because I find the washed out look not so flattering, it's really hard to pull it off, but I love it when there's a little color involved. 

I think I payed around $12 (80kn) for it a few weeks ago. The only thing I dislike about it is the scent, it's not one of those synthetic scents that you might actually like, but just a plain makeup scent, I suggest you check it out for yourself.

I AM BACK!

My last post was posted in February, I believe. That was when I got back from visiting my brother in Germany. It has been four months since and a lot of things happened. I promised I would get back to blogging after I would be done with all my finals and applications for college. Today I wrote my very last final but I won't know if I got into my desired college until mid-July so now I get to wait and enjoy life without high school and worries.

So, what exactly have I been doing in the past four months? I expanded my love for baking, enjoyed rainy and sunny days and all the delicious fruits spring and summer bring, I turned 18 along the way, fell in love with Chanel's beauty line and bought many, and I guess you could add unnecessary, pairs of shoes.
