#2014BloggerChallenge new beginnings

Yes I may have been a bit cheeky and abandon this challenge and I am terribly sorry about that. I have no excuses just simply being lazy. But now I will try to make up for it.
So this week is all about new beginnings. It may not be shocking but I will write about school. Yes it has started, yes it is horrible and yes I can't wait the end.
However this is not a regular school year for me because this is my LAST high school year. I actually don't know how to feel about that. Of course I am terrified from the exams I will have to take, but also a bit sad that an era of my life (  I won't say the best because hopefully there are more amazing adventures waiting for me ) will end, and I know that the last childish part of me should somehow grow up, I just don't know how to manage it...yet.
And I am excited to experience new things in life. I have no idea where I will be this time next year, but I like that I have options to choose from and imagine the life I might have in the future.
As all those deep stuff have been said, I will leave you here with my last proper "child school" stationery haul. Enjoy :)

AVON - skincare products

I don't know if you remember my mention of an Avon order in my being sick post, but now I can finally start writing reviews about the stuff that I got. I will start with the three skincare products that I purchased. 
Firstly, from the Care "line", I picked two cleansers, both are a 3 in 1. The one with the blue lid ( :D ) is an oil control one, that claims to be a cleanser, toner and moisturizer all in one with echinacea and wheat germ oil. And the other with a green lid is a cleansing, soothing and hydrating milk with aloe vera and vitamin E. I thought ( maybe I am very wrong ) that since one of them is a milk I can use them at the same time. At first I recognized some more spots  but I didn't stop because I was sick at the time and took antibiotics so I couldn't decide what caused them. Then I went on for another week, and stopped to use it the week after, and now being back on track with it. I think this doesn't break me out so much, but I found it working better now, that I don't use it so strictly every morning and evening, maybe it is just too much for my skin. 
BUT both of them claims to be mosturizing and I still need my moisturizer after them, which is really creamy so the oiliness doesn't disappear fully. However I may encourage "the shine"  with the BB creams that I use, so all in all I am satisfied with these bad boys.

And the third product is from the planet spa "line". They had all of their face masks on sale, but I tried my best and did my research before picking out one. I have to say that I have a combination of oily and normal skin with dry patches/ phases every once in a while - so just a bit of everything, for being fun...:D - and that dryness - and the fact that I found the others either for having the effect of a younger looking skin, or too "much" for me - made me chosoe the one I chose. It is the Heavenly Hydration with Mediterranean Olive Oil. It is really hydrating and seems like you have a mask of water on your face. You have to leave it on for 20 minutes ( then it'll feel a bit heavier and warmer ) and wash it off with tepid water and it works wonders. Although the basic oiliness of my skin requires limited use of it ( around 3 times a month ).

I have to say I am pretty proud of myself because I am satisfied with everything I ordered, although it was a first for me, because before I never really bought anything skincare realted with having long thoughts about it in advance. And you'll see how my further Avon products turned out to be. Stay tuned for that ;)

current favourite bits

Hi everybody! I am sorry for not writing all week but these are the last days before winter break and school gets crazy. Anyways I am here now and wanted to talk about three random favourite items of mine. The first is a bow. I bought it in H&M and I don't remember the price of it but it must bee cheap as it is a single, black bow. It looks really nice with my crazyblonde ombre hair and I just like to add it when I am wearing a ponytail. There's a picture of it on Instagram if youb would like to see it.

The next thing is also from H&M and it is a lip balm. This time of the year can be a killer for my lips. They tend to dry quickly and I just don't like it. This package is great I just apply the balm with my fingers. And the smell of it reminds me of baking with my granny ,smells like cake. And I also like the black, white and red theme that is going on.

The last items are jewelleries. I just realized they are also from H&M so we can call it an H&M haul. They are little rings in silver and gold and in different sizes. I wanted to buy rings like these a long time ago and I saw it in H&M and just had to bought it. They were around  £2, a bargain for 12 rings if you ask me. Excuse my wrinkly hand.

So what are your current favourites? Let me know in the comments :)

moments and thoughts

Hey guys! I tought I would make a little bit more relaxed post today. Recently I had so much to do that I couldn't take nice pictures with proper lighting and when I get back from school it's already dark and I don't want to give you reviews with low quality photos. But to contradict myself in this post I put "low quality" photos but these are just little captures about one of my afternoons the other day. What I wanted to say is a bit of a sorry and a promise that at the weekend I will try to catch up and shoot some good photos:) Hopefully an outfit one and maybe a little haul again and I will start to take some photos about the Christmas decoration! I am really excited and I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with the comments I got lately and I love you for visiting my blog! It means a lot to me and I will keep up with the posts I promise! <3

small haul

Hi :) So the weather suddenly just turned into freezing cold where I live  without any warns ( okay my mum told me before but that doesn't count!)  so I had to chase for a new coat as winter is near and I needed it :) I bought this lovely coat at Tally Weijl. It is khaki and has some kind of black tribal patter on it. It has a hood with fur which I love and some leather parts ( at the shoulders and the elbows ) that makes the whole coat fun and special. I bought a size bigger than my actual size just to be able to put layers under it. It is also padded, but I need those layers to feel completely warm "inside". All in all I love my new coat and I hope it will survive this winter! :) Also I tought I would put up the socks I bought, just simple H&M socks with dots, stripes and plain ones. 

So what kind of winter coat do you own? Let me know in the comments I would like to check them out! :)

new bag

I never had luck when it came to bags. It's the same with umbrellas, but that's another topic. :D I wouldn't say I am crazy about bags and I own hundreds of them, but I have a few. I tend to buy bags when school starts. There I obviously have to carry around books and they are pretty heavy, that's how almost all of my bags are ripped somewhere. Recently I decided to purchase a bit more expensive item so I went to Zara and I found The One. I have to say I am satisfied with my bag now, it's huge so I can pack everything in it, and it's simple black, I think I chose wisely, but we will see in the long run:)
