Into My Beauty Bag: 13 Beauty Products I Need

Yes, they seem a lot, but these are only the basic(!) staff I need in order to look presentable in the morning... Oh, and they are all highly recommended. Here they are, all thirteen of them (plus their case):

Makeup: Estee Lauder Double Wear Makeup (I do need coverage..) / Complexion Enhancer: Yves Saint Laurent Taint Parfait (love, love, love - I wear it under my makeup when there are "special events/special nights" on my schedule) / Powder Blush: MAC Sunbasque (works a little bit like a bronzer as well) / Eye Shadow: MAC Satin Taupe(an all-time favorite) / Concelear: Estee Lauder Double Wear (huge problem with dark circles, it's essential-sigh) / Mascara: Volum' Express (it's my mum's choice as well) / Perfume: Be Delicious by DKNY (hate the name - love the smell. Makes me happy in the morning) / Eye Kohl: MAC Smolder (tons of it, I re-apply it constantly) / Hair Straightener: GHD with wide plates (it's the only thing that works for my wild, dry, very curly hair) / Moisterizer: Estee Lauder DayWear (I do change my moisterizer every now and then but I always return to this one) / Lipgloss: Estee Lauder in Bare Glow (hydrates and makes your lips shine) / Eyeliner: The Body Shop (I've been using it since the age of 16 and haven't change it since...did I mention that I wear eyeliner every single day?) / Nail Polish: Essie Wicked (not red, not black, not brown, but something in between - chic and edgy at the same time) / Beauty Cases: Anya Hindmarch (classic black and fabulous)

My Week Through Instagram

From left to right, starting from the top:

This week I travelled to Athens for a friend's wedding. We had a wonderful time and I took a couple of days off from work to relax, see my friends and ...go shopping! Here are a few pics from the trip:

1. Sometimes I take an orange juice break instead of a coffee break. But only when I'm at Starbucks! I love their fresh orange juice!

2. The H&M flagship store in Athens, is gorgeous!

3. My recent purchases from H&M: a cuff bracelet, a pair of coral-pink ballet flats, two sets of stud earrings, a bronzer and a gold hair clip.

4. An outfit that caught my attention at Uterque.

5. Fantastic homeware at Zara Home.

6. And this is the Zara Home tablecloth that stole my heart... 

7. Having a pedicure and going for a cherry red colour by Essie!

8 & 9. Trying to skip calories by watching my friend Ilias eat yogurt ice cream and not having one myself. This is his weird mix.
