MY NAME IS AUTUMN

Hello my dear readers! 

I couldn't be more happy that fall season is finally here! My transition from summer to autumn has been a bit slow since I can't wrap my head around the fact that those three warm months passed away super fast. 

As you can tell from the title of this outfit I was totally in the autumn mood with red and grey colours. However, I can feel that this season I'll be all about the greens, the nudes and some warmer earth tones such as mustard or brown.

MY MI NOTE 2

Hello my Loves!

I recently had a chance to try out the XIAOMI Mi Note 2 smart phone and I really loved it. 

Now let me tell you why : the camera is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, it captures everything and everywhere with a truly good quality. That's one of the main reasons why I adored this phone. Another reason would be the huge and bright screen, but then again, almost every good smart phone today has a vibrant screen. I also really loved the design of this smart guy; it's elegant and simple with the shiny black color, it's bended at the front so it gives off a more modern look. 

Since, I am an iPhone user, it was a bit weird to use it, but after some time it felt comfortable in my hand and I managed to figure out how to use it. After all, it's bigger than my iPhone 6S. The Mi Note 2 is 5,7 inches and my current phone has 4,7 inch display. 

If I had to choose between XIAOMI Mi Note 2 and iPhone I would still, sadly, choose and iPhone over it. It just feels more comfortable in every single way. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing phone and If you're on the hunt for a new not so expensive smart phone, I would truly recommend checking out the Mi Note 2.

Sveiki mielieji! 

Neseniai turėjau galimybę išbandyti XIAOMI Mi Note 2 išmanųjį telefoną ir man jis tikrai tiko ir patiko! Dabar leiskite išdėstyti argumentus kodėl : kameros kokybė iš tiesų nustebino, fotoaparatas viską pagauna tinkamu momentu ir tinkamoje vietoje, ypač su automatiniu fokusavimo režimu. Tai ir yra viena pagrindinių priežaščių kodėl šis mobilusis man paliko įspūdį. Kita priežastis būtų didelis ir ryškus ekranas, bet, vėl gi, praktiškai kiekvienas išmanusis šiomis dienomis turi didelės raiškos ekraną. Kas dar labai patiko tai pats telefono dizainas : jis gan paprastas, tačiau elegantiškas, blizgios juodos spalvos, priekinio ekrano šonai įlenkti, o tai atrodo dar moderniau. 

Kadangi ilgą laiką esu iPhone naudotoja, tai iš pradžių buvo gan keista paimti į rankas ir naudoti, tačiau po kiek laiko ranka pati prigludo ir priprato prie didesnio ekrano. Mi Note 2 turi 5,7 colių ekraną, kuomet mano iPhone 6S tik 4,7. Lygiai vienas colis, kas telefonui turi didelį gan skirtumą. 

Jeigu reiktų rinktis tarp šio XIAOMI Mi Note 2 ir iPhone, tai ko gero rinkčiausi iPhone nedvėjodama. Nesupraskite klaidingai, telefonas tikrai geros kokybės su moderniais privalumais, tačiau, asmeniškai, iPhone patogesnis naudojimu ir visu kitu. Jei ieškote naujo, ne brangaus ir gero išmaniojo telefono, tikrai rekomenduočiau šį XIAOMI Mi Note 2.

RECENT FAVOURITES

Hello my dear readers!

Let me start off this introduction by saying that posts where bloggers share their favourite things of the month have been one of my favourite topics to read about, plus, the layout photos always look aesthetically pleasing. So here are things that I've been loving for a while now.

My skin has been loving these two face products the most. The Body Shop tea tree scrub helps my poor blemished skin to get rid of any dead skin that might have been left from the night. It exfoliates very gently and the minty scent helps me wake up in the morning.
There's no secret that a lot of skin types enjoy a good and refreshing sheet mask. Mine loves this moisturising one from ARTEMIS. 

Now there's no way that I planned this, but a lot of my makeup faves are from NYX. What can I say? It's clearly my favourite brand at the moment. 

The Studio Perfect Photo-Loving primer does a truly good job at making my skin silky smooth right before foundation. The primer's silky formula feels very soft, almost weird, when you need to apply it, but I do love myself a good soft primer. 

I've been on the hunt for a nice orange eyeshadow for a few months, I finally found one from in NYX counter and it's their single matte eyeshadow in the color LOL (loooove the name btw!). It's a nice shade of orange, it blends well, it's not dusty and the pigment is really there. What else do you need in a good eyeshadow other than that?

The last product from NYX is the Matte Finish setting spray. I don't usually go for the all-matte makeup look, but for some reason, this finish spray mattifies just the right amount and it makes my makeup last longer so that's definitely a plus. 

I have another makeup favourite and it's the ARCANCIL Mat Mysteria matte liquid lipstick in the shade 408 Nude Rosé. It's the perfect dark rosy nude color that glides smoothly on the lips with the right amount of pigment. It dries matte and does not move what so ever. 

I wanted a nice spicy scent for the colder weather and I accidentally smelled a few of ZARA's perfumes and fell in love with these two instantly. The Black Amber is the spicy one that I've been on the hunt for and the Red Vanilla is a little bit sweet with a soft vanilla scent. 

A book favourite of mine has been the "The Hotel on Place Vendôme" by Tilar J. Mazzeo. It's a book about hotel Ritz in Paris and the whole story revolves around that hotel and Paris itself during the Nazi occupation in 1940 while the world was shaking because of WWII. The book is rich with art, celebrities (such as Coco Chanel, Arletty, Ernest Hemingway and much more) and the love and betrayal stories of among famous personas. If you're a sucker for history and art then this book is definitely for you!
