A new start

Hey guys!

I have some news for you:

Lately I've been having some problems with this blog and Blogger. I've becoming more and more annoyed ever since the small poll for a new background. It just did not come together as I wanted it and platform was not helping me much.

So as of now, I am 'parting ways' with Blogger and have moved on WordPress. All the post, comments and pictures are already moved, but there is still a bit of work to do on the presentation. I am inviting you all with open arms and a loving heart to join me on my new page!

You can find the new website here:

Take care guys and hope to see you all there!

Green, green and more green

Hey guys! I hope you are all well!

I have to say that I have been having a green 'fit' lately. I know that green would work best on me, since my hair is red, but never before I was such in a mood for this color! I simply adore it in all tones and shades!

So I thought I should make a darker look, using just one pallet and only green shades. Since I came back home, I can also go back to my known brands (I have to say that I have misses some a lot!) and their new make-up lines. I am especially excited by all the new products they are bringing from the "Alverde" collection, found in "dm" shops. I also wanted to combine some products I got from abroad, and this is what I came up with:

Products used:

Eyes:
- base: Alverde, Creme Eyeliner - 20 Green Lime (product here)
- lid color: mat dark turqoise - Sephora 5 in 1 Pallete, Tango in Buenos Aires (last pallet - image here)

A bit of change - Voting Closed

Change isn't always bad. In some cases, it can be very good. Since I am starting a new chapter, I am trying to make changes in all aspects of my daily activities.

My blog, the poor little thing, has been very neglected lately and I think that something new is in order. What better than a background switch. But this, I will need your help! This blog was mainly made in order to help my friends which wanted fast and easy advices in beauty and health. Lately, it also became a sort of profile for those that are interested in seeing my work and for that I send a very warm 'Thank you!' to all that recommended me!

I have selected a few option for a new layout. It would be great if you would let me know which one you think would work best for my style, approach and posts. Let me make it a friendly place for you to enjoy every time you drop by!

And....*drumroll*...the choices are:

1. Pinky, cute frames with flags and butterflies


2. Classy, vintage...Red and brown style


3. Delicate old pattern with light yellow-green and grey


4. Sweet dusty pink birdcage with floral ornament


5. I like the current background! I think you should leave it like this!

Please let me know in the comments bellow or vote in the poll I posted on the blog (unfortunately, I could not add pictures there, but they have a small description which will help you)!

Thank you very much! Let's see what the outcome will be!
Kissu
