Olivia Burton New Autumn/Fall Collection

Hello lovelies! 

The sun is out today and it doesn't really feel like Autumn outside but I am looking through all the autumn/fall collections and, as I am quite obsessed with watches right now, I couldn't mention the new Olivia Burton Oriental Opulence collection. 


I think you all know the brand and I personally think that it is one of the best brands cause of the accurate and unique style they put in every watch model.
So if you fancy a new watch or just want a new item to add into your wishlist then here are the new amazing watches all inspired by the Asian culture, exotic birds, kimonos and orchids, all mixed with the unique Olivia Burton's signature style. 














  • ORIENTAL OPULENCE FRIENDSHIP BIRDS BLACK & GOLD


  • If you're excited like me about new collections and OB watches in general then you definitely have to check out this collection and, maybe, one of them could be your early Chritsmas gift! hehe

    I hope you liked this post and let me know in the comments what is your favourite one and what is your favourite brand or colours to wear when it comes to watches;
    I send you a big kiss and see you on my next post!

    Lots of love

    Autumn Makeup & Favs

    Hello my lovelies


    It is nearly autumn and I can smell it in the air so I'm pretending my fav season has already started!
     I just can't wait to see the city covered in brown leaves and wearing hats and scarves while outside the stores are putting fairylights outside and everywhere is all pumpkin spice lattes and smiles! :)

    As I am getting into the autumnal spirit I have started wearing a lot of autumnal colours both on the clothes and on the makeup, so - along with a makeup look video - I decided to show you what I am enjoying the most in these days and what I am loving to put on almost everyday! x

     
     

    • As you may know, the foundation I am using a lot is the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I love it a lot, it has a great coverage, it's very light and my skin looks fresh and healthy almost all day whenever I put this on! I didn't think I would have put my beloved NARS sheer glow in a side but there it is, Too Faced conquered me!
    •  As I am pale as a ghost during fall, I am loving the Too Faced chocolate soleil bronzer cause it is light but buildable, it smells of chocolate (yuuum) and it is in a perfect shade to warm up the yellowy-looking face!
    • For blusher I am really loving strong colours like this red. Yes, I said red and I never imagined myself wearing a colour like that but I tried it on and I felt in love! [Yes, you have to be careful unless you'll end up looking like Santa Claus :) haha]
    • Nail polishes: I am really loving both browns and light pinks and berry shades like these two by kiko which are the number 243 and 363.
    • The eyeshadow I am loving the most is this one by NABLA in Rust; it's an amazing and vibrant bronze shade that works really great with blue eyes as well. L O V E.
    • Lipsticks: the shades I am wearing and loving the most are the beloved Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 and NABLA domina lipstick. The 107 is more on the red side and Domina is more on the berry/purple side. Both really amazing, both matte and longlasting.
    • And last but not least, the mascara I am wearing all days is the They're Real by Benefit. I am back at it since months and reloved how builds up my lashes again, it's really amazing! Only down is that is SO hard to take it off at night (you will need oil based makeup removers)!
     



    I'll leave you with the video on this makeup I am wearing the most, I hope you'll like it!

    Hope you have a lovely and warm day!

    Too Faced Born This Way Foundation Review and Swatches! ♥

    Hello lovelies
    Today I have an exciting post for you as I am talking about the new Too Faced Born This Way foundation which I have been excited about ever since the news about it came out!
    If you want to buy it you can do it from their online store here or in Sephora or any store that has a Too Faced counter!
    So let's see what are the shades, what I think about them and how I feel about them!


    First of all they came out in this GORGEOUS pink bag! This is so so cute and I will bring it with me everywhere! Inside we have all the 12 shades that are in the stores now (they will come out with another 6 shades - three darker and three lighter - in autumn). 
    The foundation sounds like a dream:
    • Medium-to-full undetectable coverage
    • Oil-free
    • Coconut Water helps delicately replenish skin’s moisture levels without overhydrating for the look of radiant skin
    • Infused with the resilient Alpine Rose to brighten the skin’s appearance and promote elasticity
    • Hyaluronic Acid helps balance skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance
     
    The bottle is amazing! I love the frost packaging with the gold, and the golden TF on the cup make it just perfect and elegant AND it has a pump!! YES, Too Faced, you know how to make things!!
    [Note: This pump works for the Nars sheer glow too!]
    Everything is so nice and elegant and like a dream but let's see the perks and the pitfalls!

     

    The perks:
    It is an amazing foundation
    Hydrates the skin
    Skin really looks better after
    You can get a medium coverage and layer
    Looks incredibly natural
    Blends really well
    Stays all day (I had it on from 8am and at midnight it was still there)
    Provides a great dewy and natural look

    The Pitfalls:

    This is not a foundation for everyone, by that I mean that if you have oily skin or you don't like dewy look foundation then this could not be perfect for you.
    I have been trying it now that is summer so I will see how it works in winter but as it tends to get shiny, if you have oily skin I think you will have a problem.
    Then other pitfall is for the colour range that unfortunately will not suit anyone, but they will add more shades so if you can't find your perfect match, just wait and you'll be satisfied! :)

    Here are the swatches:


    Colours from left to right:

    Porcelain - Ivory - Vanilla - Nude - Warm Nude - Light Beige - Natural Beige - Warm Beige - Sand - Golden - Honey - Caramel


    As I have a very dry skin for me this foundation is heaven in a bottle but I would recommend you to try it before buy it and get a sample so you can see how it works on your skin and what is the best match for you! This is an incredible foundation but if you have very oily skin and it doesn't work for your skin then it could be a nightmare (but this is for any liquid foundation if you have very oily skin) so, as always, try it! If you have dry skin then run at the first store and GET IT and.. tell them YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY!! :)



    I really hope this helped you, I am loving this foundation a lot! Let me know in the comments if you have it, what is your shade, if you like it or if you want to try it and if you have any question about the colours or everything leave a comment here or write me wherever you want and I will happily help you! :)

    Have a lovely day!
