I love glitter nail polishes and I love experimenting with them. Yes, they are hard to remove, but they also make a long lasting manicure (at least for me) so let's say it is worth it.

I really like this manicure - it looks like winter starry nights, what's not to love?


For the dark base I applied two coats of a very very dark red nail polish, that almost looks black. Any dark nail polish would do, but black would work best. Over that I applied two coats of pink glitter polish, I used Catrice - Kitsch me if you can. I can safely say, this is my favorite glitter nail polish. I am really liking this combination.


I think it spices up dark nails just enough, to make them look special.
I hope you like it. :)

So since I am new to this blogging, I thought it would be a great idea to do some sort of a 'get to know me' tag where I can tell a bit more about myself. I hope you will like it. :)


Do you have a middle name?
No. My name is just Linda and I am really happy with it. :)

What's your favorite subject at school?
I am studying at University of economics ATM, my favorite subjects are all that have to do with business finance. In years of primary and secondary school, English was my favorite.

What's your favorite drink?
Ughh that's a hard one. I love water, and I drink a lot of it on a daily basis, but a good cappuccino or a glass of red wine can't hurt from time to time.

Favorite song of the moment?
Haha. It might come as a surprise, but I am a metal head at heart and I highly doubt you really want to know more about my favorite songs. ;) But anyway, Through oblivion from the new In Flames album has been on my 'most played songs' list this month.

What would you name your children?
Iris for a girl, for a boy it is still undecided.

Do you participate in any sports?
Not really. But I would love to be a kick-boxer. :)

Favorite book?
My name says it. Targaryen, rings a bell? For about 8 years now the 'A song of ice and fire' by George R.R. Martin has literally been my life. I am obsessed with the story! No need to mention how happy I was, when they started filming the series 'Game of thrones' (inspired by this book collection).

Favorite color?
Burgundy or cranberry red.

Favorite animal?
All pets are so cute! But kittens win my heart over every time.

Favorite perfume?
Escada Magnetism and Escada Cherry in the air (sadly limited edition). I am always on the hunt for new good smelling perfumes, though.

Have you graduated high school?
Yes.

Have you been out of the country?
Yes. I have visited Italy, France and Austria. London is my big dream and if everything goes according to my plans, I will travel there soon.

Do you speak any other languages?
Slovene is my mother language, but I am fluent in English (in case you haven't noticed yet) and I understand quite a bit of German and Spanish.

Do you have any siblings?
Yes, two younger sisters.

What's your favorite store?
I hope online counts. Asos for clothes and Feel unique for beauty.

Favorite restaurant?
Honestly, none.

Favorite Youtubers?
Emma Pickles, Shaaanxo, Essiebutton, Trisha Paytas and I love Saccone-Jolys!

Favorite movie and TV show?
Can I just name like 5 shows and we're good? Hehe. :) My favorite TV shows are Game of thrones, Sons of anarchy and Vikings. What about movies? Probably Taken.

 PC or MAC?
PC all the way.

 What phone do you have?
HTC Desire X. I love it. It takes good photos too.

 How tall are you?
166 cm. :) (5ft4)

That was a lot of questions! Thank you for your time. :)

There has been so much written about Revlon lip butters on the internet already, I won't add much. This shade Strawberry shortcake is a stunning pink, and oh my how good does this product feel on the lips! The lipstick is one from the long-lasting Essence range, which by the way are probably the best what you can get for 2€ at the drugstore. The lighter shades fade quicker than darker do, but that is expected anyway. The shade 'Love me' is a stunning light pink and I reach for it often.

I hope I inspired you to think about your favorite pink products!
Enjoy and be happy :) xo

So September is over and my favorite month is here. It didn't start as I wanted (got terribly sick - this is also the reason why I am a few days late with this post) but I know it will be great anyway. :)
Let's see what my favorite products last month were.


Let's start with makeup. 


I guess Catrice brand was the winner this month (or is it every month? Probably - I am in love with their products.) I loved the NUDE ILLUSION foundation. It claims to be luminous matt and that is exactly what it is. Shade 010 Nude Ivory is my perfect match, it lasts for the whole day, it doesn't get patchy on my dry skin - what more could I want? 

Although it is long lasting, just to be more secure I always use a powder after it. I have found my perfect match. It is the PRIME AND FINE MATTIFYING POWDER waterproof. It makes the foundation look even better, helps it last longer and prevent shine. I don't know much about the waterproof claim, but I don't need that anyway. I don't think it is the best of the best of face powders, but for the price (about 5€ in DM or Muller) it works fine for me.
And than here is the ILLUMINATING BLUSH, a beautiful pigmented silky smooth blush that can also be a highlighter, perfect for when you are running late and only want to use one product. I loved the color and the formula - one of the best blushes I own. My shade is 010 I Am Nuts About You.

Eyeshadow winner is without a doubt Maybelline Color tattoo 24h in On and on Bronze. It is a long lasting, very pigmented cream eyeshadow that you can use on its own or as a primer. I used it both ways and it always worked great. The bronze color is perfect for fall.


Than there are a few lip products I loved this month. I used more than only these three but for these I reached more often. Baby lips electro in Strike a rose was the lip balm of choice, it is a sheer neon pink that I loved more on the sunny days. It is very pigmented for a lip balm, kinda long lasting and smells good! The gloss I loved is Dior Lip polish smoothing lacquer in 003, it looks very orange/coral in the tube and swatched but on the lips it becomes more sheer. It is longlasting but can be sticky. 
Lipstick was the winner. It is one of the new Catrice Ultimate stay in 060 Floral Coral. I love the color, the smell, the shape, it is very long lasting... I love everything about it. I want more shades in my collection, this is for sure. This shade is mauve-rose, I would say.

What about nail polish? I loved darker colors as you can see. Essie was the winner, but as Catrice it probably always is, they have the best nail polishes in my opinion.

And lastly is skincare and other stuff. I loved Avon naturals face hydrating moisturizer in peach and cotton. It makes my skin very soft, smells good but nothing special. It is very appropriate for summer. In the colder months I will have to change it for something more hydrating because my skin is sooo dry, it's a nightmare.


Than comes my new holy grail hand cream, Dr. Scheller Calendula hand balm. Damn this is good. I use it before I go to bed at night, and it makes miracles. It says on the tube that it gives 'instant protection for rough and chapped hands' and it really does. If I use it everyday, I don't have any problems with my hands being dry. It smells nice, too. The scent is calming before sleep.


What about my hair? I color them every 4-6 weeks and since that can be damaging, I always have to use hair masks and oils. I loved this Gliss hair repair Million Gloss from Schwarkopf. I don't know about the 10 days shine, because my hair is shiny all the time but thanks to the oil and leave-in conditioner I use. But this mask did good for my hair, it made them soft and nourished. The smell is just the typical Gliss kur smell, anyone who has ever tried any of their products will know what I mean by that. I don't know if I will repurchase it because there are many others I want to try. Kerastase is the one I have my eyes on at the moment.



So, that is it about my favorites. What did you love recently?
