Happy New Year Beautiful, and welcome to 2015!

How to open the blogging series in 2015 if not with another amazing red lipstick I discovered recently ( when Burberry launched their Spring Collection to be more precise )?! It’s the gorgeous Lip Cover in #18 Ruby!

These Burberry lipsticks are not new to me ( you might have seen them featured in several posts this past year; here, here and here ). But #18 Ruby is a shade which always caught my eye but never got the chance to try it on because it was always out of stock.

I know! Another red you might say! But #18 Ruby is a beautiful, lush, slightly blue-based red which can be easily worn on both pale skins and warm toned skins. Not the most unique of colours but gorgeous nonetheless!

And you never have enough red lipsticks, right?! Besides that you know I have an addiction… Tom Ford reds, Dior reds, a bit of Éstee Lauder and Givenchy, some more Tom Ford and of course, Burberry…

Ruby is very pigmented and easy to apply on the lips thanks to a lightweight combination of nourishing oils and gel dispersed pigments which ensures intense moisture and long lasting colour at the same time. And it goes on almost opaque without feeling heavy or sticky in any way. It also has a satin finish, with a soft sheen to it.

Like all the Burberry Lip Covers I have tried, #18 looks very flattering on the lips and because it contains anti-aging ceramides, it will leave your lips fuller and beautifully defined.

It applies smoothly and it’s not patchy so it doesn’t require a lot of work and patience to put it on.

Need I say more to convince you to try it whenever you get the chance to be near a Burberry counter?!

Again, Happy New Year Beautiful! And let’s make a great one out of 2015 together!

FAIR WARNING! THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL BEAUTY POST!

Now, let’s get real! I do not do fashion on this blog! Don’t get me wrong! I do love clothes… and bags… and shoes… But I am not at that level where to be interested in combining them so effortlessly the way so many talented fashion bloggers already do it so well! Many are still trying though Full STOP!

But this time I really had to!

When I first saw this gorgeous pair of shoes on the Smiling Shoes website, a fashion-related blog post was mandatory! Plus, I made a promise and this is me keeping it!

And I am proud to tell you that Smiling Shoes is actually a Romanian brand brought to life by two lovely young sisters, Luiza şi Corina Naduh. This two talented ladies decided to bring to another level their father’s little shoes atelier, placed in the small historical town of Târgovişte. The bussiness existed from 1994 and produced men shoes exclusively. Luiza and Corina decided to move to Bucharest instead and to pay more attention to what the market needed in terms of shoes. Then, in 2007 the first Smiling Shoes Collection was launched. And the rest is history! Now they have many collaborations with Romanian designers and their shoes are always featured in pictorials for the most known Romanian glossy magazines.

My choice is from their newest SORBETTO SS 2014 Collection, still available online.

Red leather, 9 mm, classic stilettos with open back, hand made with the softest and comfortable leather! They are the upgraded version of Dorothy’s magic shoes!
