What happens when you're angry and close to the shops!

Hello sweeties, what's up?
I'm so so so tired. I went to the uni today because I had a class at the law school, and then I had my regular class on psychology. And as I realised -early enough to have plenty of time until my next class (a couple of hours) and late enough to go back home- the law school had no classes today. And I was something like "Oh not again, damn you bad luck, damn". And I got really angry, so I decided to visit a 1€ shop (everything costs only 1€. Actually, that's a lie, I have only found one shop that literally does that). And this is what I got:

Wet towels for hands

Glamorous Brown Palette



Brown nail polish

The nail polish is darker that it seems. I love brown nails and brown in general. In the first photo you can see that I have on my nails the polish I made myself and told you about on a previous post. I wanted to buy an eye-liner that seemed really nice and a lipstick, but I'm going to the cinema later, so I decided to buy them the next time I'll miss my class! Ha!
But how are you?
What's your favourite nail polish?
Do you have any plans for the weekend?
Lots of kisses and have a nice Friday!

Funny me and created on Polyvore (pt.1)

Hello ladies and gentlemen, how you doin? I'm just fine, trying to stand up and go to my class, Personality Theories II. How exciting? Anyway, I'm in a hurry, so I will just post some funny photos I found on Internet and my favourite look (created on Polyvore).
This is the look:
You can find me on Polyvore: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/home?id=1865878  Actually, I love this look. It's simple and cute, and it reminds us that October is the month against breast cancer! We should all take care of ourselves and visit our doctor every year!


And ok, I laughed my ass off when I saw these pictures! Especially the Brangelina photo is hilarious in my opinion!
Oh, and something more for you to laugh at: A video on youtube showing babies making funny faces when they are eating something they don't like. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw this! And the babies are funny, but this soundtrack makes you laugh even more!



Enjoy little monsters and always laugh!

My homemade nail polish!

Hello world, how are you?
Once I was in my uni, I saw a girl with gray nails. I was staring at them until I asked her what nail polish it was. As I was expecting, it was Essie. And after googling it, I think this one:

Essie Gray



I tried to buy it, but I went to Hondos Center and couldn't find it. All the similar colours were not affordable (I don't like to pay a lot for a nail polish) and the affordable ones had glitter in it or they were too shiny. So, I decided to create the colour myself. And I loved the result!
All the things I used were already in my house:

  • White nail polish
  • Black nail polish
  • Nail polish remover
  • Empty bottle


First of all, I cleaned a half-empty bottle of nail polish by putting in it the remover and shaking it. I have to admit, it was kind of difficult. After cleaning it, I put inside again remover (just a little) and then added the white and black polishes. I mixed them, trying to create the right colour. And this is what I made:



I really loved it. This is how it looks on the nail after two coats. (inside light without flash)


Now, after two days, it's not that gray, it's a little darker, something between dark blue-green and gray. It's still amazing.
How is your day?
What do you think about it lovelies?
Have you ever mixed nail polishes to create your own colour?
Lots of kisses!

I'm back!

Hello guys!
How've you been these days? I decided once to delete my blog, but I couldn't make it! I'm back, but I've changed! In a good way I hope! I deleted most of my posts and I only have the most important ones, that are related to fashion and beauty. Hm, they are not many, but we can do something about it!
So, soon I will make a poll for you to let me know what you expect from me. What do you want to see here? I'm going to try and post about fashion, beauty tips and maybe some reviews of my favourite products. I'm thinking of posting "Hit or Miss?" things, "Who wore it better?" and so on. I think it's fun and a great way for all of us to become better when it comes to fashion. Would you like to see anything else? Let me know your opinion! In these first days, I will also recreate the appearance of my blog, trying to make it more cozy and cute. Hope you like it!
Oh, and something I haven't said before. English is not my native language, and I'm trying hard to avoid any mistakes. I know I make some, so be patient and just laugh! I make mistakes even when I speak Greek!
So, tell me, how are you? Are you having fun? How's school-university-work going? Have I missed anything HUGE?

H&M scrub quick review-Tottaly satisfied.

I told you the other day about an organic scrub I bought from H&M. And that I was gonna try it and let you know my opinion. Well, my opinion is this: FABULOUS! My skin was so soft and bright. So,let me take it from the start.

The ingredients:
  • Water
  • Apple Juice
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine
  • Apricot Seed Powder 
  • Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Sodium Chloride
  • Citric Acid
  • Sodium Benzoate
  • Potassium Sorbate
  • Benzoic Acid
  • Fragrance
98,5% from natural origin.
10% from Organic Farming

To be honest, I'm not a chemist and I don't know if all these ingredients have something wrong. In a quick search in Google, I saw that they are safe and good for your skin.

I applied it in the shower and it was so nice. After the shower I put on this:

I know it's after sun lotion, but it is the only one that doesn't harm my skin, which is SO sensitive. I bought it from Oriflame last summer. You realise that the combination of the scrub and the lotion was succesful! I was touching my hands all the time!
Don't forget to vote for my poll on the right sidebar!

Something for your hair. Beauty tips, pt.1

Being stupid. The new ad by Diesel! Hilarious, dont you think? It takes two to stupid. Yeah, you and your best friend! Have fun, live, live, laugh! I have to admit, I can be stupid with my boyfriend, too! Well, I can be stupid enough on my own. Anyway, as the title says, time for some beauty tips for your hair! Thank God, my mum is a hairdresser, so I have access to many beautiful beauty products and I can experiment a lot! On a post to come, I will tell you about my favorite products. Well, here I go!

 # It's Friday night. You are out of hairspray and you don't have time, or money, to buy your favorite one. Freak out? No, no, no! You can make your own hairspray wtih things you always have at home. You'll need:
  1 lemon. If your hair is dry,you should use an orange instead of lemon.
  2 cups of water
  2 teaspoons of liquor. The white one. Not the blue one! (Google translate suggested me to use clean alcohol. I don't even know if this is right)

You put the water in a small pot,cut the lemon and squeeze it. You put the lemon juice in the water and boil it. After a while, half of the water-lemon will have evaporated and you should have a light green liquid. You put the leftover water in a bottle (of course when the water-lemon is cold)-make sure you have something to spray your hair, like this:

You can borrow this from an old sunscreen, or your old hairspray. You put the bottle in the fridge for one day. When you take it out, you add in the bottle two teaspoons of white liquor and your hairspray is ready! It can be used for two weeks without putting it in the fridge. And don't forget! Never put this bottle in the fridge after you have added the liquor.

# Now some natural masks for your hair! You don't have to go to your hairdresser and buy all these expensive products (Sorry mama). Treat your hair with eggs,honey and olive oil.

Masks that nourish your hair:
-You need 5 spoonfuls of olive oil and two eggs. You mix them and you put it in your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic cap or with kitchen plastic wrap for fifteen minutes. Take a shower, wash your hair very well-including shampoo. That's it!Instead of eggs, you can try two spoonfuls of honey and three of olive oil!

Masks for shiny hair:
-Mix the juice of a fresh orange-squeeze it yourself, water, one spoonful of honey and 5-7 of essential oil sandalwood. Put it in your hair in the shower after you have washed your hair (shampoo).  Then mix two eggs with one spoonful of milk and out in your hair. Wait 6 minutes. Wash them. Do you see the sparkle?

Masks for damaged hair:
(If you have damaged hair, first of all you should stop using too many styling products, buy masks,shampoos and conditioners that are suitable for you, and go to your hair dresses immediately! Because no matter what you put on your hair, the damage will be there and only a haircut can take away your poor edges.)
-Melt a banana and mix it with a few drops of almond essential oil. Leave it for about fifteen minutes. Wash your hair with soda. Then wash it again with your shampoo and conditioner.
