TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 30 - Your favorite nail polish

I love Essence nail polishes and lately I'm in love with a polish called 02 Copper Rulez! from their Metallics Collection. It's a coppery brown with gold sparkles in it...It's really pretty and it's definitely a fall/winter color. This polish is so pigmented, infact to get the color you see in the bottle, it takes just one coat.

You can see Copper Rulez! in the center of the photo, but in person is much prettier.

What's your favourite nail polish?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 29 - Photo of something that makes you go awww



I love puppies, especially photos of labrador ones. Maybe one day when I'll get over my cleaning obsession I'll adopt a puppy. It's important to give home to homeless animals, I wouldn't buy just one in a store.

What is a picture that makes you go AWWWWW?

Sorry if this post is so short but I don't really have much to say about this topic :)

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 28 - Your favorite drink



I discovered Radler beer in Vienna, Austria, in 2008. Best beer ever! I'm not a drinker but I could drink gallons of this beer. It's a light drink, because is a mixture of lemon juice and austrian traditional beer. It is delicious, it is sweet and I really like sweet beer. Everything I go to Austria or to Germany I always order this.

You should try it and let me know what you think.

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 27 - Your favorite skincare product



My favourite skin care product would be Lush Ocean Salt Scrub.
It is an amazing product, it leaves your skin soft and purified. It has an amazing smell, like lime and salt, a cocktail! It's a bit aggressive, infact the first time I've used it, my skin was so red for a couple of minutes, but I hasn't happened again.

Lush website quote: "Sea salt scrub. Ocean Salt comes from Rowena's love of all things scrubby. It's like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water, then cleansing and refreshing it with lemon, grapefruit and lime juices.

50% sea salt. Fresh avocado and coconut give hydration back to thirsty skin, while violet leaf absolute calms and nurtures.

Avocado and coconut fats. The fruit contains unsaturated oil that rehydrates skin. Both avocado and coconut soothe the upper layers of skin and are very good for dryness."

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 23 - Place where you want to live

I'm torn between two places. I fell in love with Paris, France, but I've never been to New York, one of my favorite cities. I love french culture, Paris is a beautiful city that combines fashion, elegance, romance and much more. New York represents all the things I love, the world of entertainment, the glamorous american dream. I'm planning to go there, but I don't take planes. I guess I have to figure out something :)

What's you favorite place to live?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 22 - What makes you happy

Travelling makes me happy. When I was a child I didn't travel much, because my parents had jobs with only a few holidays, but 3 years ago I started going abroad and I found true joy. I remember the day I went to Paris as the happiest of my life, I remember seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time and thinking that it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I live in Italy, but I've never felt italian I don't know why, let's say I feel like a citizen of the world. I also went to Austria 2 times, then Nice (France) and Germany. My biggest dream is to travel around US. I like travelling because you have a few days without worries and you feel free to do whatever you want.

What makes you happy?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 21 - Your favorite lip stick

I love Mac Lustering Lipstick! I'm extremely pale and this is the only bright bold color I can pull off. It's a bright pink that seems almost red in certain light, it has a blue undertone so It can make your teeth look whiter. It's a lustre, so it has a glossy texture and it doesn't dry your lips out.

What's yours favorite lipstick?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 20 — Your favorite mascara

My favorite mascara right now is the Kiko Ultra Tech Waterproof Mascara. Kiko is an italian brand you can compare it with NYX. I have a lot of things from them: lots of eyeshadows (very pigmented and long lasting), lipsticks, lipglosses, mascaras, blushes and all sorts of products. The price range is really good, almost drugstore, but the quality is amazing.
I really like this mascara, it makes my lashes long and full, it stays all day and it doesn't smudge. For those of you who live in Italy, if you don't have a Kiko store near you, you can order online.

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 19 - Your favorite look from a beauty guru


Definitely this Kim Kardashian Glowing Gold Tutorial is my favorite! Nic is such a great makeup artist and this look is good for every type of skin color. I like how glowy and shimmer it is. Gold mode is a beautiful pigment by Mac, unfortunately is discontinued.

Do you like more matte looks or shimmery ones?

Hello guys! Today I'm gonna talk about my favorite guru. I don't have one, but two. Pixiwoo is a channel created by two sisters, Sam and Nic; they do tutorials, reviews and all sorts of stuff. I think they're the best gurus on youtube, their technics are just flawless as their creativity. I also love their personalities and I adore their british accent.

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 17 - Fashion Pieces that's on your to-buy list

I already talked about this bag I really want to buy in a previous post, It is the Louis Vuitton Tivoli PM. I was thinking of saving my luuux $ to buy this purse, but It would take me forever and I wanna be sure that this luuux thing is real, so I decided to save my luuux for the Sigma Premium Brush Set definitely more achievable. I saw this bag live in the Louis Vuitton shop and I just fell in love with it, I like it more than the Speedy ones.

What do you think about it?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 16 - Music you like


I'm kinda of a weird person, because I have a style that doesn't match my taste in music...I dress in a classy way, kinda like Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, but I really love Rock music. Put on a rock song on the player and I'll turn into a rock groupie! I'll sing out loud and enjoy every minute of it. I like instrumental versions of songs, guitar solos, drums and all that jazz...I don't have a favorite singer, I like a lot of rock-indie bands.

The weirdest thing is that I really like country music too. I can't help it...I must have been a Nashville native two lives ago xD.

What is your favorite type of music?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 15 - Photo of your favorite bracelet

This Tiffany bracelet would probably be my favorite. I don't already have it, but I'm planning on getting it this Christmas. I'm not a bracelets person, I have like 7 of them, instead I have an insane amount of earrings and necklaces. I want to buy this Tiffany one because I think it goes with everything and every type of outfit. I also really love the pearl bracelet by Tiffany. Which one do you prefer?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 14 - Photo of a hairstyle/haircut you'd like to have


I love Lea Michele and I adore her hairstyle. Next time I'll cut my hair like hers. I don't go to a hair salon often, because I don't like people to touch my hair, but I could really use an haircut now.
I also like Miley Cyrus hairstyle. I have brown with red undertone long hair, which do you think is the best for me?

Which do you think is the prettiest?

Photo by: http://subjectofstyle.blogspot.com/2009/01/style-inspiration-blair-waldorf.html

My style icon is not a real person, but It's a fictional character called Blair Waldorf from the hit tv show Gossip Girl. I love her sense of style, she's elegant, sophisticated, classy. I love how she looks like an old hollywood icon but she's so fashionable and trendy at the same time. I try to incorporate some of her trademark pieces into my wardrobe such as: Headbands, blouses, long coats and lots of accessories.

Who's your fashion icon?

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 12 - Your Favorite color

My favorite color is purple. I love it for clothes, for accessories and for a lot of things. I like cool toned color and I like how purple is a mixture of pinks and blues, two colors I love.
I also like purples for my makeup; I have light brown eyes and brown/reddish hair, so purple is perfect for me (at least I think so :D ).

What's your favorite color?

I want so bad a bag I can't afford...The Chanel 2.55 in the color nude. I love it so much. To me Chanel is classy, fashionable and eternal. These are bags never go out of style and the design is absolutely gorgeous!
It costs a lot of money and I just can't justify this massive splerge.

TAG: 30 Days Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 09 - Your favorite pair of shoes

I bought these boots this summer in a boutique in Munich (Germany) and I absolutely love them. I'm a tall girl I wear a size 9/10 of shoes and in Italy I can't find my size because let's be honest, most of italians are really short. When I went in Germany all the shoes shops had my size. I was so happy when I found this Taupy/grey boots with open toes and a high heel. They're suede and very comfortable despite the heel, They're definitely my favorite shoes ever!

Do you like them?

This photo makes me laugh. I love Glee, It makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry...The best shows are capable to excite you in ways you can't imagine. I love Ryan Murphy (the creator of Glee) I love his shows before this, Nip Tuck, Popular...
The losers story is so funny and the actors are really great too.
My favorite character is Sue Sylvester (the cheerleaders coach), she's just hilarious with her sarcasm.

Do you like Glee?
