ESSIE GO GINZA

I have been M.I.A. for the past few days because I travelled back home to my hometown, and figuring out how to maintain a certain photo quality without the usual light, equipment and location is more difficult than I expected it to be, and you all know how important photography is to me and what a huge part of my blog it is. :)



As this year is coming to an end, interesting new things are being prepared for this blog and I cannot wait to show them to you at the beginning of 2015. I cannot wait!

I am utterly excited for today - Christmas Eve is such a special night. Every member gathered around a pretty Christmas tree, with wrapped presents underneath prepared to bring a smile to each one of their faces. My three dearest friends surprised me a day early with this lovely pastel lilac nail polish by Essie. They follow my blog intensely and they managed to pick out a shade that I adore. I find pastels make every hand look softer and more feminine, and this lovely lilac does that job perfectly. Even though the website describes the color as a soft cherry blossom pink, I think that its undertone is a very strong blue which makes it appear more lilac than pink.

Go Ginza goes extremely well with greys so I had to wear my new, comfy, grey sweater to match the color.
 

I hope you all enjoy this Christmas Eve with your family and loved ones!

CATRICE LUXURY LACQUERS IN STARS & STORIES

It isn't possible to walk by these glittery lacquers without stopping. When I spotted the golden glitter in Stars & Stories, it immediately ended up in my shopping cart.

BODY CARE ESSENTIALS

I've gotten a few requests to talk about the beauty products that I use to take care of my skin, body and hair. So I thought I'd start with the necessities that I use either daily or weekly, starting with the body. I personally love taking a peak in other people's skin care and hair care routines.

ESSIE ETERNAL OPTIMIST WITH A TWIST

I adore optimists. They're the kind of people I admire the most. Always seeing the glass as half full, never giving up on anything. Essie's Eternal Optimist found its way into my hands through a very old and dear friend of mine - the friend isn't old, but our friendship is :) - because she purchased it as a replacement for In Stitches. She's the exact friend I mentioned in my In Stitches post, I had to paint her nails after she fell in love with the color. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to find it in Croatia, so she went with Eternal Optimist as a replacement. Upon seeing the photo of her wearing the shade, I had to have it. It's a whole bunch of shades lighter than In Stitches.
