Today is my Birthday and I had a day off, as I worked on Saturday instead. I don’t really care about Birthdays but this year, for some reason, decided to do at least something…

Plus a lot of readers ask for more personal posts from time to time so, I guess, I can share a bit I also did a post last year.

A lot of friends were asking what I wanted. To tell the truth, the only thing that I really want right now is a new Givenchy bag but it’s not the best time to get it, as I am completely re-doing my bathroom (and kitchen soon), so it’ll have to wait.  I also don’t like when people get me beauty products, as I have a lot already and prefer to buy such things myself, as I know precisely what I want/need. Moreover, I like it to be a surprise.

Speaking about beauty wish list… I did

I’ll use any excuse to talk about Game Of Thrones or Mad Men!

Raise your hand who is excited for Mad Men season 6 and Game Of Thrones season 3, too?!

Speaking of Mad Men, Estee Lauder brought out a new Mad Men collection to celebrate the new season, let’s take a look.

But first of all, here are the official Mad Men season 6  promo photos.

Estee Lauder did a Mad Men collection last year, as well.

This year the  brand offers us:

• Mad Men Rich Lipstick in Pinkadelic, £26/$30
• Mad Men See Through Blush in Light Show, £48/$50
• Mad Men Nail Lacquer in

I am sure you already know that I am a huge fan of cream blushers So today I want to tell you about a recent favourite – Rouge Bunny Rouge Blush Wand Cheeks in Bloom in Rubens.

It was actually a part of my January favourites and one of the most used blushes this winter in general.

I like the cute flowery design and the small package that is easy to take with you. One more thing that I enjoy is a nice subtle  fruity scent. Moreover, I think it’s cool how these were named after the great artists.

As for the product, it’s really lovely, as you would expect. I know that some of you are afraid of cream blushers (I am judging from the comments), so this one is a great option to start with. It is definitely foolproof, as all you need to do is swipe it on your cheeks and blend with your fingers. You can also

It’s that time of the year when brands start bringing out their pre-summer collections that you can take  with you on  a mini break or a proper holiday. And, oh my goodness, I really need on of those and have my fingers crossed for one around May time…

So let’s take a look at the gorgeous Guerlain Terracotta collection for this summer, 2013.

TERRACOTTA 4 SEASONS Tailor-made Bronzing Powder £46.50 / €62

This is a cult product already and doesn’t even need an introduction, this year Guerlain added several new shades to the range:

00 NUDE For pale complexions. Comes with a fresh pink blush to illuminate the complexion, 02 NATURAL BLONDES, 03 NATURAL BRUNETTES, 08 EBONY For dark complexions. Comes with a red blush.

Other shades are: 04 MEDIUM BLONDES and 05 MEDIUM BRUNETTES.

00 Nude sounds amazing!

Olivier Échaudemaison application tips:

“Apply your Terracotta powder by tracing a figure “3” on each side of the face: from the forehead down towards the cheeks, then down along the jaw line to the chin and down the neck.

For the finishing touch, take a little more Terracotta powder with your brush and sweep it over the raised areas of the face, the places that catch the sun most – the forehead, nose, cheekbones and chin. The result is an instant glow.’

TERRACOTTA SKIN Glow-enhancing perfector £34/€46

This gives you a corrective coverage of a foundation  and the sheer transparency of a Terracotta powder, this powdery cream creates perfect make-up results while unifying your complexion and giving it a subtle, healthy glow.

Available in Nude, Blondes and
