Not the usual winter favourites this year, my lovelies!

Not 150 shades of red lipstick!… NO sparkle!?… Just some lovely blush and natural shades, and some essentials – makeup, skincare and fashion, that got the satus of holy grail products as well!

Makeup-wise, everything gravitated around these two looks and the products I used achieving them! The products that got my entire love and attention were the Tom Ford Eye Defining Pen, the Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Pencils in Bronzed Garnet and Intoxicating Violet and the lipsticks: Tom Ford Pink Dusk – an old favourite, the NARS Audacious Lipstick Anita and the Charlotte Tilbury So Marilyn – red that I wore only on festive nights out! I’m also almost done with my second Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Palette, and I mean all the powders in it!, which I apply with another favourite, the NARS Yachiyo brush. Can’t wait to finally start using my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit now!

As for Skincare, I really did enjoyed the Foreo Luna Mini – a cleansing device I recently reviewed.

Body care: the one product that I really enjoyed using and nearly finished was this Aromatherapy Associates Bath Jules Christmas gift set containing 3 oils: the De-Stress Mind, Deep Relax and Revive Morning. The first two really helped me to keep at bay my insomnia, which showed up its ugly face around Christmas time.

Home scents: I did went through another Winter Special for me – one of my Byredo Bibliothèque candles, I burnt yet another Baies from Diptyque, and I’m half through this Neom Perfect Peace Christmas Edition scented candle. All three of them are beautiful and create a warm and cozy atmosphere once you lit them.

And since we had one of the mildest winter in decades, my statement Fashion pieces were these Smiling Shoes called Elaine I barely took off my feet as they’re definitely the most comfortable shoes I own!? ( well, all my Smiling Shoes pumps are anyway!!! ) and this mini Musette Verona PM bag – a tiny and dinky piece of a timeless elegance.

There you have them! My Winter 2015 – 2016 Seasonal Favourites! If you care to see my Autumn 2015 Seasonal Favourites containing my bold, vampy looks click here and for a hot Summer 2015 Favourites, click here!

Seasonal Favourites Autumn 2015

Autumn 2015, dark lips, grunge lipstick trend, seasonal favourites, seasonal favourites Autumn 2015

This is the easiest favourites post I had to write in my almost two years of blogging!

I’m sure that you, my beautiful readers know already what I’m talking about! And the feedback from you was worth all the effort I put in each and every one of them! Thank you for always being so receptive and kind to me! It means the world!

In the past few couple of months you were able to see a huge amount of posts on dark lipsticks! I bet at times you got bored of dark lipstick swatches… But let me tell you this: it’s been a real pleasure and and some of the most fun blog posts to write and to photograph!

I wrote about NARS’ Ingrid and Deborah, Charlotte Tilbury’s Glastonberry, Estée Lauder’s Desirous and YSL’s Grenat Satisfaction. I even wrote about a high street option that took many of you by surprise ( post here ).

And even though they might seem many for you, I’m still left with the sensation that I haven’t found the right shade of grungy, dark lipstick yet… The hunt will continue next year!

Nothing kept my interest alive more than these lipsticks and I feel like no other products should be included in this Favourites post. They were the star and the highlight of my whole Autumn!

Which were your favourites?

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

Seasonal Favourites Spring 2015

#narsissist, Charlotte Tilbury KISSING Fallen From The Lipstick Tree lipstick, Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Pink Venus, Dolce and Gabbana Rosebud, First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, Hakuhodo Eye Brush, Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate, NARS, NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, NARS Audacious Lipsticks, Rancé Rose de Rose, seasonal favourites, Spring 2015

We’re almost mid summer already and it’s just about the right moment to bring you my most loved/modt used items, this past season. So here you have my Spring 2015 Favourites!

– NARS Michyio – NARS Greta– NARS Juliette – Charlotte Tilbury Coachella Coral– Charlotte Tilbury Velvet Underground – Charlotte Tilbury So Marilyn

My most loved makeup products were my lipsticks, this season as well! No surprise there, right!

The ones that had the most impact on me were the NARS Audacious Lipsticks which I adore and I wore almost every day for the past couple of months! My favourites were Juliette, Natalie and Michyio!

[ Well, I loved them this much that I had a marathon week of posts featuring a NARS Audacious Lipstick, every day of the week! Start reading about that here, with Monday of course! ]

When I wasn’t wearing any of these, the one I had on my lips was the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Coachella Coral, a lovely Spring colour, amazing all by itself or over another Charlotte Tilbury favourite of mine – the Lip-Cheat Lip Liner in Pink Venus!

My base of choice was another one from NARS! The new and gorgeous All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, a surprising discovery that has become a staple in my makeup routine in the shortest time!

Another makeup item and one I came back to this Spring as well was the Dolce and Gabbana blush in #33 Rosebud! This is such a lovely natural flush of colour, excellent for a natural, fresh look!

To take care of my skin I really enjoyed the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser and the combination of the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate as a serum and the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.

My perfume of choice was Rancé’s Rose de Rose, a “mature” rose scented perfume.

My makeup tools I enjoyed the most were, another no surprise, my Hakuhodo Eye Brushes especially my J5523 and J142.

This is it for this post lovelies! Make sure you check my other Seasonal Favourites here and here!

See you soon, beautiful!
