My Weekly Macro: Vol.1

Hey Dolls :)
I have decided that I'm going to start doing weekly macro posts. The lovely Kelly from Vampy Varnish is my inspiration behind these posts. I love her macro photos, they always look so awesome. I thought this would be something fun to do, since I just bought a new macro lens :)

Let me know what you think about this idea, in the comments down below. Your feedback is very important to me, and I want to know what you guys are interested in reading more about :)

Outfit Of The Day: Minty Lace Dress

Hey Sweethearts :)
How many off you are into thrift store shopping? I recently came across this gorgeous, vintage looking dress in one off my local thrift stores, and I immediately fell in love with it. I absolutely love the lace details on the dress, and I'm obsessed with the color as well, I think it makes the dress look even more beautiful! What do you think? Let me know in the comments down below :)

What I'm Wearing: 
♥ Denim Vest from Gina Tricot. 
♥ Dress from Fretex. 
♥ Belt from H&M. 
♥ Shoes from Økonomisko. 

I only buy clothes from thrift stores if they look like they haven't been worn, or if they are brand new. I can't even tell you how many times, I have seen clothes that are brand new with tags still attached to them. All you need is a little patience, and I'm sure that you are going to find so many cute and unique pieces too :) 

What do you think about the dress? What is your opinion about thrift store shopping? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Sneak Peek: Clip-In Accents in Coffee

Hey Sweethearts :)
I have always wanted to change up my hair color, but I don't have the guts to do it. I recently came across these clip-in accents from Rebelle, and I thought they would be perfect for me. 

I picked up their clip-in accents in Coffee, which is a dark brown shade. The quality of their hair extensions are very good, they are 100% human hair and heat friendly as well, which is great because I love using hot tools on my hair :)

 ♥ Rebelle Clip-In Accents in Coffee. 

This is my very first time ordering clip-in hair extensions, so I'm very excited to try them out. I'm not sure how Coffee is going to look with my hair color yet, but we'll just have to try them out and see what I think about them. I might pop over to Rebelle's website again and order their Clip-In Accents in Toast and Goldilocks, they look so pretty too and they might give me a more natural look :)

Have you tried clip-in hair extensions before? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Tag: My Most Worn Things!♥

Hey Dolls :)
I came across this really fun tag on YouTube, and I thought that it would be fun to do it and share my most worn items with you guys. I'm a big fan of doing these kind of blog posts, so if you have any ideas on tags that you think I should do, please leave your suggestions in the comments down below. You know how much I appreciate your feedback :)

1) Most worn nail polish:
My most worn nail polish is Kiss The Bride by Orly. I love how fresh and clean this nail polish makes my nails look. If I don't know which nail polish I want to paint my nails with, this is the one I go for :)

 ♥ 2) Most worn hair product:
My most worn hair product is this Heat Protect Styling Spray from Syoss Professional. I love using hot tools on my hair, so I always make sure that I use a good heat protecting spray first :)

  ♥ 3) Most worn bag:
That's easy! My most worn bag is this beautiful bag from Bryna Nicole. I completely fell in love with it after seeing it on Gossip Girl. Blake Lively, who plays Serena van der Woodsen on the show, was rocking this gorgeous bag and I just knew it in my heart that it had to be mine :)

4) Most worn shoes:
My most worn shoes have to be my black converse shoes. I absolutely love these, they are so comfortable and cool at the same time :) 

5) Most worn accessories:
I love wearing accessories, because they can change up your entire outfit. I have been obsessed with this necklace from H&M, I absolutely love it and I wear it all the time. My engagement ring is another piece that definitely counts as one of my most worn accessories :)

 ♥ 6) Most worn clothing item:
I wear these denim jeans all the time, so they are definitely one of my most worn clothing items. I prefer dark denim over the regular light blue denim, I just think it looks better on me :)

♥ 7) Most worn foundation:
The foundation that I have been wearing a lot lately, is the Fit Me foundation from Maybelline. I really like how lightweight it is, and it looks very natural as well. It gives the face a nice coverage and its cheap too, which is always a huge plus in my book :)

 ♥ 8) Most worn blush and/or bronzer:
My most worn blush is Natural from NYX. If you have a lighter skin tone, this blush is going to look gorgeous on you. Its going to give your cheeks a natural flush of color, which is perfect for everyday :)

♥ 9) Most worn lip product:
My most worn lip product is this EOS lip balm in Summer Fruit. I use this lip balm everyday, and I always need to have one in my handbag, as well as a few lying around at home. This is definitely one of the best lip balms that I have tried out, I highly recommend that you check it out :)

 ♥ 10) Most worn mascara:
I picked up this mascara a few months ago and I have been wearing it almost everyday since. It like that it gives my lashes some lenght and a bit of volume as well. Its also very build able, and it won't clump or make your lashes feel stiff :)  

 ♥ 11) Most worn eyeshadow:
I have to go with my Bare Study Paint Pot from MAC on this one. Its one of those products that I reach for when I don't know what I want to use on my eyes. I just apply it on my lids, throw on some mascara and maybe some eyeliner and that's it. Its such an easy and quick look, which is perfect for those days that you don't have much time to get ready :)

What is your most worn items? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan: Review, Photos & Swatches

 ♥ IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan.

Hey Dolls :)
The Wonder Nail range from IsaDora, consists of gorgeous nail polishes that  are extra long lasting and quick drying. Each nail polish comes with an extra wide brush, which is going to cover your nail in one stroke, depending on the size of your nails of course.

Metropolitan is from the IsaDora's Paradox Autumn 2012 Makeup Collection. It is a dark brown nail polish with no shimmer. It was a little streaky on the first coat, but I didn't experience any streaking on the second coat. Metropolitan was fully opaque after just two coats :) 

  ♥ IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan.

I absolutely love the nail polish brush. The brush is extra wide, which I really like.  I know that wide nail polish brushes isn't something that everyone is going to enjoy, but I personally like it a lot. I think that thicker and wide brushes are easier to work with and I feel like they pick up more product as well. In the end, it all comes down to your personal preference :)

My Opinion:
Metropolitan is a beautiful nail polish, that is going to be so perfect now that Fall is right around the corner. Its been a while since I have worn a dark brown nail polish, so I'm definitely excited to rock this for Fall. I highly recommend that you check out IsaDora's Wonder Nail range. Most of their nail polishes are fully opaque in just two coats, which is pretty cool. They are also quick drying, which I absolutely love. I hate waiting around for my nail polish to dry, so that is definitely something I appreciate :)

Where to buy?

My August Empties: Products I've Used Up

 Hey Dolls :)
You have probably heard all about the tag called products I've used up? I have been seeing it around on beauty blogs and Youtube a lot lately, and I thought it would be really fun to do this post and show you which products I have used up.

I hope that you will enjoy this post, I had so much fun doing it. Is this something you want me to keep doing? Let me know in the comments down below, you know how much I appreciate your feedback :)

 ♥ NYX Makeup Remover & Cleansing Oil In One with Green Tea Exact. 

I finally found a good eye makeup remover, and its this one from NYX. I have been using this product for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. When I first tried it out, I thought  it was way too oily for me and I actually didn't like it at all. I decided to give it another chance and I guess I got hooked on it :)

I only use it to remove my eye makeup, but you can use it all over your face. I don't like doing that, because this product is very oily and I don't like how greasy my face feels. I will definitely be ordering a few extra bottles of this product soon :)

 ♥ Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes. 

I recently shared these makeup removing wipes with you guys in my July favorites. These have been my go-to makeup remover wipes for quite a few months now, and I absolutely love them. They are so moistruizing, and they do a wonderful job removing makeup. If you get the chance to try these out, I highly recommend that you do :)

 ♥ Oliv Naturell Cosmetic Wipes. 

I'm not that impressed with these makeup remover wipes from Oliv Naturell. The wipes wasn't moisturizing enough, which made it really difficult for me to remove my makeup. I also made sure that the lid was fully closed, but they completely dried out a few days after I opened up the package. I'm not going to buy these again, I'm going to stick with my Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes :)

 ♥ Md Formulation Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. 

This is my very first product from Md Formulation. It was recommended to me by the lovely Mona, the girl who does my eyebrows. I have been using this cleanser for a while now, and I really like it. I can definitely see that it has been good to my skin, because it has cleared up a lot since I started using it. The cleanser has tiny beeds that gently exfoliates your skin, perfect to use everyday.

I have a bunch of these small samples, that I ordered from eBay. I only have a few left, so I think its time to buy the full size bottle :)

♥ Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance. 

I have been using this moisturizer for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. It keeps my face moisturized and soft throughout the day. I haven't tried too many products from Dermalogica, but this is a product that I'm very pleased with. I'm definitely going to keep buying this product, until I find something else that works better for me :)

What do you think about this post? Is this something you want me to keep doing? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

My Opinion:
I think that Femme Fatale is a gorgeous, deep red nail polish that is going to look so pretty for Fall. I highly recommend that you use a base coat before you apply Femme Fatale, because its a nail polish that is going to stain your nails. I highly recommend that you check out IsaDora's Wonder Nail range. Most of their nail polishes are fully opaque in just two coats, which is pretty cool. They are also quick drying, which I absolutely love. I hate waiting around for my nail polish to dry, so that is definitely something I appreciate :)
