Flormar Cosmetics Review.

Flormar is an Italian cosmetics company which started out in the 70's. They have a wide range of products from make-up, perfume and even personal care products. They pride themselves in their high quality and yet economical prices. I was recently sent a package with products from Flormar as a gift!

Here's what I was sent

- He Is Black Code Deodorant
- Mono Eye Shadow in 002
- Supershine Lip Glosses in 131 & 125
- Pretty Lipstick in P313
- Supermatte Lipstick in 201


Reviews


He Is Black Code Deodorant: I was actually surprised to receive a MEN's deodorant (taking that I am a...girl...) but nevertheless I actually sometimes enjoy colognes and scents that are meant for men so I wore it anyway. Nice scent and long lasting. Surely I can't wear it on a daily basis since it's a men's deodorant and the strong scent does not mix well with my girly perfumes so I guess I'll end up giving it to my boyfriend or dad.
 Overall: ♥♥♥♥


Mono Eye Shadow in 002: Lovely shade and I really liked the feel of the shade and how it applies. Goes on very smooth, color pigmentation is just fine. Overall a great eyeshadow that I have been using quite often lately! Also thumbs up for the mini mirror in the case of the eyeshadow, great for applying.
 Overall: ♥♥♥♥


Supershine Lip Glosses in 131 & 125: The glosses are really cute, shiny & sparkly. They apply great on the lips and give that "juicy" look to lips.
 Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥ 


 Pretty Lipstick in P313: This shade is a somewhat dark pink that has a frosted tint to the color and glitter in it. When I first saw the color I was skeptic cause I personally don't wear frosty-lipsticks but the shade actually turned out looking great and I enjoy wearing it. Lasted about 5-6 hrs with re-applying only once.
 Overall: ♥♥♥


 Supermatte Lipstick in 201: I was super excited when I saw this lipstick cause first of all, it's RED (and you all know how I love red lipsticks) and second it's a matte lipstick (and you all know that I love matte lipsticks) BUT I was super disappointed in this product. It was the worst of all in the package because it is not a matte lipstick let alone a supermatte one. It glides on like a glossy lipstick, the color was really weak, you really need to work it to get the super red of the color...not a matte lipstick.
 Overall: ♥


Thank you Flormar! 



Swatches in Natural Light.

Tommy G no.413 Swatches.

I've been looking for a khaki colored nail polish when I finally spotted one by one of my favorite brands, Tommy G. It's a part of their Fall-Winter collection which I practically want to buy them all right now.

I really like khaki as a Fall color as an alternative to the very dark polishes that we always see. It's awesome for Fall/Winter, goes practically with everything and has a classy feel to it. I topped my ring fingers with a touch of gold glitter for a little something.

Would you wear khaki nail polish? Kisses Dolls!

My 26th Birthday Party.

All children, except one, grow up.
-Peter Pan

"Second to the right, and straight on till morning."
That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland
-Peter Pan

Today is my 26th Birthday! Ah how time flies by, I can't believe I'm 26 cause frankly I feel and act like I'm 16. Nothing like knocking off a decade eh?

I had my birthday party a few days ago on Saturday cause this year my birthday was on a MONDAY (boring seriously). My party was at Cargo in Nea Erythrea which is one of my favorite places to go and I have been going there for years now. I had a amazing night with my close friends and loved ones. My boyfriend surprised me which a lovely cake where that time of the year came again -- time for me to make my wish! I'm so grateful to have such amazing people in my life that love me and care about me ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm sharing with you all my personal photos from my party -- mind you all that this post is super pic heavy (hey that's me).

Kisses Dolls! ♥





















Essie "Glamour Purse" Swatches.

"Glamour Purse" is from Essie's Brand New Bag Fall Collection 2011. I got this polish as a gift and really love the shade! Of course Essie's polishes are fab as they are long lasting and dry very quickly.

I love fall colors in polishes!

Greek Beauty Bloggers Meet & Greet.

A little over a week ago I attended the 1st Greek Beauty Bloggers Meet & Greet which took place at the Mall. It was really nice meeting people with whom I have been chatting for some time via Twitter and getting to know them. Also it was a great opportunity to meet the winner of my blog giveaway, Natalie and to give her her prizes in person.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay long cause I had to leave for work and of course I did remember why I never go to the Mall on a Saturday. It took me 30 min just to get there and park in the parking lot when normally I do that in 7 min.

L'Oreal Paris was a big sponsor of the event and it was lovely to meet the beautiful ladies from their PR division. They had a very generous surprise for us as we were given an awesome goody bag all with products from L'Oreal! So generous thank you! Of course Dolls, do expect various reviews on the products I was given, I am currently in test mode!

I'd like to thank the Greek Beauty Bloggers team for putting this meeting together as they did an amazing job and I found it remarkable that many bloggers traveled to Athens for the event. Hope to see you all soon!

Kisses Dolls!

Lovie Lipstick no.3 Swatches & Review.

Some time ago I discovered a small Greek cosmetics brand in a small shop call Lovie. Their lipsticks appealed to me and I personally can never say no to lipstick and to a good bargain while I'm at that. No.3 is one of the 2 shades I picked out, a lovely nude and I'm definitely going to buy some more in the near future!

Pros: 2 euro each (total bargain!), great color payoff, long lasting & great pigmentation.
Cons: Has a waxy smell & cheap packaging (hey that's what you get for 2 euro)

Overall: ♥♥♥♥

Thought I'd start with a simple OOTD post. People who know me personally will say that I wear A LOT of black and it's true. I just love black what can I do?
