OOTD and a New Lipstick.

Some time ago me and my friends Elina and Roula had a night out at Gkazi and we went to one of my favorite bars in Gkazi, Dirty Ginger. So here is my Outfit Of The Day :)

What I'm wearing

Dress: Zic Zac

Belt: Forever21

Shoes: Fullah Sugah

I also bought this gorgeous lipsticks from a small makeup store in Roula's neighborhood and it only cost 2 euro! :O Hell yeah! Who ever said cheap doesn't look good? Amazing color payoff! The brand is called Lovie and it's the only place I've ever seen it. So I have to go again there soon and stack up on some more lipsticks.

My Fish Spa Experience.

Hello my dollies! Last week I was invited by the Fish Spa here in Athens to try out their services. I had never tried fish spa before and had been seeing how popular it was in Asia so it was definitely something that I wanted to try out. And of course I was curious how it felt to have fish nibbling at your feet.

Fish Spa FAQ

Fish Spa, what is it?

A natural pedicure method originating from Turkey and practiced all over the Far East. This unique skin treatment massages your feet using Garra Rufa fish. It is a great individual or group pampering experience which is something new that feels fantastic.

What are the benefits?

During the treatment the fish nibble and suck away the dry skin from your feet, leaving you with healthy and rejuvenated skin.
Your feet will feel amazing, refreshed and healthy. These clever fish can also stimulate acupuncture points helping to rejuvenate the nervous system, relax the body and release fatigue. Your blood circulation and flow is also greatly increased during the treatment.

Does it hurt?

No! The fish have no teeth so the treatment works by them gently licking and sucking away the dry skin.

Can I catch any diseases?

No certainly not! These fish cannot transfer any diseases to humans. You will pre-rinse your feet before you enter the tank. The water is sterilized and constantly changed , ensuring the utmost hygiene.

Is it safe for children?

It’s perfectly safe for children. The kids have great fun interacting with the fish.

 

The spa was just a 5 min walk from the metro station of Monastiraki which is great cause it's right in the heart of Athens. When we got there we were greeted by the lovely staff who were so nice and helpful!

First off I had to wash my feet with soap and wipe them down, I love it when I see that hygiene is taken seriously at a spa. It is key. I was also given 1 use slippers for me to wear and then my fish spa experience began! At first I couldn't stop laughing cause the feeling of the fish nibbling me was a very ticklish one, but after a couple of minutes it was pure relaxation. What you start feeling is a sensation of vibration and the relaxation of the water. After 30 minutes I didn't want to take my feet out! 

The skin on my feet were softer and smoother something that I really needed cause your skin can get so dry being exposed to the sun and wearing sandals all summer long.

So my opinion is to give it a try! For 30 min the cost is 18 euro, a fair price for such a cool experience.

Kim Kardashian Inspired Eye Makeup.

Hello my dearest Dolls! I think it was about time that I did a Kim Kardashian inspired look, who happens to be my style icon. Many of you probably know that I'm a huge fan. Kim always has flawless makeup and since she is not a big follower of bright and loud lips, her eye makeup is always stunning and automatically turns her into a diva. Let's recreate!

How I did my eye makeup:

1) First apply a primer on your eyelids. I used MAC's Paint Pot in "Painterly"
2) Then apply a light nude shadow all over your eyelids going up to your brows. I used MAC's Pigment in "Naked" my all time favorite pigment.
3) Then take a small brush and blend a brown eyeshadow into the crease of your eyelids. This will define your eyes and make them look more deep-set giving that sultry and sexy appearance. I used "Cocoa Puff" from the Natural Eye Palette from Two Faced (awesome palette!)
4) Then use an eyeliner to line your eyes and wing them out like in my pictures. I used MAC's Fluidline in "Blacktrack" with a small angled brush.
5) Afterward line the bottom and remaining part of your eye with a black pencil eyeliner. Also use a brush or a q-tip to slightly smudge the pencil so it's not to harsh looking. Don't forget to do your waterline. If you can do the waterline on the upper lid too. I used a black pencil from Tommy G.
6) Time for false eyelashes, my favorite part. They transform you! I used eyelashes that I had ordered from Hong Kong, you can use whatever works for you. I only recommend you spend money on a good eyelash glue. We must be careful what we put on our eyes! Also for a super vixen look, add 2 pairs of lashes one on top of the other. I've been doing it lately and I don't see myself ever going back to only one pair.
7) Finish off with black mascara on your bottom lashes and on the top to stick your real lashes with the false ones. I used MAC's Zoom Mascara.

I hope you all enjoyed this look and let me know if you tried it out! Wishing everyone a happy 1st of the month, kisses!
