Christmas time

One thing I honestly hate about winter are these extremly cold and long evenings. I adore them during Christmas Break but normally it is disaster beacuse I don't know what to do: too early to go to sleep, plus I always have something to prepare for next day, so sleep is not a good idea, but it is also too late to do something creative or to go for a walk because it is too dark outside.

So as everyone else I decided to post my ides for LONG WINTER EVENINGS:

1. Hot tea/hot chocolate: 

recently I'm in love with apricot&vanilla tea by Vitax and hommade hot chocolate, amazing recipe here 

2. Perfume

Like every year fall/winter time for me is all about this perfumes: Iceberg, The Iceberg Fragrance

3. Chocolate Muffins with mascarpone filling

Absolutly love them and for sure I will prepare them for Christmas, recipe here

4. Nails:

for my toe nails I got glitter gold nail polish, I've just improved the effect with simple gold glitter available in every stationery shop, looks more or less like this:

my finger nails, I've got painted them in deep red shade, very classic

5. outfit

These shoes!!! Recently my favorite ones:

Overknee high heeled boots!

I will combine them with this Massimo Dutti Draped Dress to create my Christmas look, 

one more thing....

I think it will be my favorite drink this winter!

Ingredients:

Brewed coffee

Baileys Irish Cream

Vanilla Vodka

Freeze coffee as ice cubes and toss in a cup of Baileys and Vanilla Vodka. Simple but very tasty...

December the 13th

My favorites things I could not live without this week:

Muse de Rochas

Glitter Bracelet: Dyrberg/Kern Coarsani in Black

Wibo Matte Effect Glitter topcoat in white

Things to watch: definitely movie "Shame". There's nothing better than good drama for evening on Friday the 13th.

And of course, as everyone else today, I have to say: I love Beyonce's New Album. It's so hot and feminine, I mean I've just seen short previews but it will be hot! Can't wait for the full version. Here's one of these previews:

Have a good weekend!

Beauty Basics

Beauty products  I use - just essentials. For hair I highly recommend the whole Toni&Guy Prep line, especially Leave-in Conditioner. It's really amazing. I pay much attention to my nails, for everyday use I prefer having just perfect natural look with a little help of Inglot Ridges Filler. Inglot products in general are really good for relatively low price. These cosmetics are perfect for home usage. I especially love Inglot AMC Cream Concealer, I have problematic skin so I need a little bit better coverage. Oh and I also love very much Chanel Mascaras, previously Exeptionnel, but since it's no more available I use Le Volume de Chanel. For eyes, as the title is "Beauty Basics" it wouldn't be fair not to mention about, already famous, Urban Decay Naked Basics palette for eyes. Absolutely "must have" when it comes to eyes make-up. When it comes to skin care I try to keep it as simple as possible. I use just Ziaja Masło Kakaowe (simple Shea Butter) body cream. For my face, beside of using some random cream with UVA/UVB filters (but at least 20 SPF) I always use, I am also obsessed with using serum everyday, these days Galenics Ophycee Serum. Finally I have to admit that I'm crazy about perfumes. I'm totally perfume lover! Perfumes are like drugs for me. Recently I bought Poiray Sceau de Coeur, top notes are: bergamot, mandarin, freesia and black currant, middle notes: frangipani, hawthorn, ylang-ylang, jasmine and hazelnut,base notes: pralines, ambergris, cedar, musk and vanilla, it's totally amazing. 

And these hair colors! Awww...so beautifully natural. There's nothing better than neat hair. I'm naturally blonde but right now I have this very light, almost white shade which makes my skin looks very bad. I naturally have warm skin so one of these three should work for me. I have to definitely try it before Christmas!

Have a nice day!
