4 things that are currently inspiring me

+ Travelling

The thought of going to new places I've never been to before. Discovering new things, seeing how people live in different places, I just love itttt! So many places to visit, so little time. Also, I'm going out of town, next week - cannot wait!

+ Discovering new music

There's nothing that inspire me more than discovering new bands/songs.  There's always new songs coming up, and I feel like, lately there's a lot of new good music. Am I right?

+ Spring

New seasons always inspire me. But Spring is special, cause it means Summer is coming. The weather is getting warmer, snow is melting, everything is getting better.

+ Rediscovering beauty products I own

When you watch Youtube videos/read blogs/go on Instagram/Pinterest, it can get easy to buy more products then you can use. Lately, I've been trying not to be that much (unless I really need it), & I'm rediscovering new products I already own and it's so fun!

My top five spring nail polishes

Hi beauties! I don't know about you, but when Spring comes around all I want to wear is pastel! I want to get all the pastel colors of nail polishes. What can I say, spring = pastels. So today I will show you 5 nail polishes from my collection that I love to use during the Spring season.

#1) OPI Mod about you: You want the perfect pink-lavender shade? You got it. Mod about you looks like nothing I have in my nail polish collection. This pale/pastel/ baby pink nail polish is very easy to work with. Not sheer at all, super opaque and creamy. Great formula,  Dries quickly. It's a bright nail polish while still being subtle, if that makes sense? This is my go-to nail polish and I will def repurchase.

#2) Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac: Lilac is one of those colors that defines Spring for me. As the name says, it's a lilac color; a very pretty one! For me, this is the perfect lilac color. Doesn't chip for like a week. Gorgeous and pigmented.

#3) Essie Bikini So Teeny: I believe that this was part of essie's summer collection last summer. Correct me if I'm wrong. So I don't know if it's still available. As all essie's nail polish I LOVE the colors they put (plus the bottles are super cute), but I'm not a big fan of the formula. So hard to work with and takes FOREVER to dry. But as I said I'm a big fan of this color, a rich periwinkle blue, and no matter how streaky, coats and time it takes to dry; the color is beautiful, so.

#4) Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet: What can I say? This is the perfect mint color. Love the application, dries quickly. Does not chip easily. Opaque. As you can see I've used up this baby, and I will repurchase as soon as I used it up. Such a great nail polish at a low price.

#5) China Glaze For Audrey: I love this Tiffany blue color. It's the perfect Tiffany blue. A lovely shade of turquoise going more towards the blue side.  It's not warm or cool: I would say that it's neutral. An eyecatching color without being too much. The formulation I'm not so happy about, kinda streaky. Does not chip easily. Overall, happy with the color, not too much for the formulation.

Here are swatches of the five nail polishes:

Thanks for reading! Hope you're all having a lovely week!! xx

Haul: From Christmas shopping to gifts to myself

I have alot of haul lately. Mainly because, 1. I have not been shopping for the past months, 2. When shopping for Christmas for other people, and you see things you've wanted all you can do is buy them and call tell "Gifts to myself". Also, I need more ideas of what kind of blog post to write, since I'm new at this. If you ever want to see reviews on certain product or what-so-ever, let me know!

This an imitation of the J. Crew bubble necklace, I bought at Urban Planet for the cost of 7$. What a deal. It's a statement necklace, a pretty colour: pinkish coral. Not sure how to style it, but when I do I'll try and write an article on it.

I was excited for essies new collection, a magnetic one: a first for essie! I have never tried magnetic polishes before, but this one was original, a snake print. As I said I tried it for this first today, and I had really hard time trying to figure it out: my magnet got all messy with polish (I hope I can fix it!) If you don't mess it up like me, I would say it works fine and give a pretty design. I will try to fix it, if I can't then the color itself is pretty, it's a beautiful metalic red in the shade sssssexy.

I've been wanting to try this product for a while. After hearing so many beauty gurus on youtube raved about it. I've tried it twice and I think I noticed a small difference I would say, so that's a plus! But I can't confirm everything right now, maybe I'll do a review later on.

I saw this purse on the front display at Spring, and I knew I had to get it. For the price of 40$, I think it's really a good-sized purse, alot of space. My only fear is that the studded details looks like they could easily fall out. I hope not.

Well, this is it for my haul, I have much more ideas for article. All I need is time. Hope you all had a wonderful day!! c xoxo
