My selection of bridal makeup products from all kinds of brands, professional and performant colors and textures that I've personally tried and loved. This is a selection of basics for olive skin, neutral and cool skin tones - others for warm skin tones are coming :)

I’ve already posted my bridal makeup list for cool/olive/neutral skin, thought I’d also do one for warm skin/skin with warm undertones. It’s got my top lipsticks, foundations, blushes, primers, eyeliners and eyeshadows… The whole shindig.

I've loved Barry M ever since I first came across it in 2014, during my first trip to London. Over the years I've collected many of their products, especially the eyes, lips and nail products. These are all my go-to Barry M products you can get from Superdrug, Boots or online.

This is my list of go-to summer beauty - fragrance, nails, body care and makeup products perfect for the summer. You’ve got a bit of budget, a bit of high-end, some waterproof, really long lasting products and just fresh and feel-good colors.

I've loved Superdrug ever since my first trip to London back in 2014 - these are my go-to products I get every time I live there again, or just go for a little trip: nails, fragrance, lips and eyes!

As a makeup user and ex makeup artist - these are the lip, eyes, nails and face products I cannot recommend enough for everyday glow. You've got some budget options, some high-end, products I've tried, tested, used on photoshoots, on myself… Just favorites, basically.

I've always very much loved lipsticks, even though I'm a die-hard fan of a good lip liner + lipgloss combo. I'll literally try lip products from every brand I can get my hands on, don't mind a beautifull matte either, anyway - this is my list of go-to lip products I really can't recommend enough.

Not the usual Covent Garden and Oxford Street - this is my selection of off-the-beaten-path, more local, more industrial or historical neighborhoods in London you shouldn't miss.

Covent Garden can never be overrated, even if you're tired of treading the Piazza, you'll find lots of small alleys, second hand and discounted shops, lots of hidden gems and sculptures - these are my favorite things to see and do there!

These are the most beautiful spots to see nature, gardens in Paris and parks you cannot miss - some are super secret gardens too, so much so even locals miss them!

Recently when I lived in Paris again I found myself actively looking for historical sites there, and came across Art Nouveau restaurants, secret cloisters, ruins...

These are all my favorite nail polishes from sheer pink to mauve, red and dark plum, all kinds of brands with the best finish and application feel 🌸 [This list contains affiliate links, I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no cost to you]

Sheers from Essie are some of my go-to nail polishes, I've shown you here some of my faves from other brands too but when it comes to Essie, the selection of undertones is tremendous - great job on the formulas as well!

Hundreds of nail polishes have gone through my hands - and there are few brands better than OPI when it comes to nude and neutral shades. These are my very favorites, for all skin tones.
