I received this cream at the end of July, and I started using it almost as soon as I got it. I rarely find skincare products that I actually love, because I have such a sensitive skin, that most creams don’t work well on me! Well, I couldn’t believe it when I started trying this cream! At first, I took it with me on a trip to Athens, and I saw amazing results. Still couldn’t believe it, and thought it was the climate of Athens (which is way better than Thessaloniki’s), or the hot days, that made my skin more normal/oily than dry/dehydrated. I continued using it after we got back, and still got the same results. Even for my super sensitive skin, it did wonders. It has aloe vera gel, prickly pear, seaweed, pomegranate, and ginger & mint extracts. It’s very lightweight, gets absorbed almost instantly, leaves your skin feeling hydrated, and not at all oily or heavy, and after a few uses you’ll notice a huge difference on your skin. It leaves the skin soft, hydrated, and smooth! I absolutely love it! I’m definitely repurchasing it again in the future. And I recommend it 100%.

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin perfector C pop review
One of my favorite products of 2017, was definitely this highlighter by Becca Cosmetics, in collaboration with Jaclyn Hill. I’ve only had it in my hands for 2-3 months for the end of 2017, but it definitely won a place in the top 17. The shade is called C-Pop or Champagne pop as some people are calling it, and it’s a perfect rose-gold shimmery shade. I’ve been using it almost non-stop since the day I got it, and you can say it was love at first sight for me. Some people say that its glow is very intense, but I think it’s buildable. You can use it from day to night, and make it as intense as you like. It comes in a really nice round container, with a nice big mirror, which makes it perfect for travelling. Of course I took it with me to Athens last month; I simply couldn’t leave it behind. If you’re looking for a nice highlighter you should definitely check out this one!

At the stadium | Outfits
I wanted to take outfit photos at the Olympic Stadium in Athens for so long, and I finally did it, so I’m here to share them with you! This is the second and final look from Athens (unfortunately I wasn’t able to photograph more looks), but I love how these turned out! We woke up as early as possible that day, took the subway and then the train to go to the stadium, so I wanted to wear something that was going to look pretty and chic but at the same time casual enough. I ended up wearing this look for the whole day, and I felt really comfortable in it, so I’m happy with my choice. I bought this skirt from Athens (not that it really matters, because it’s Zara, and I could have bought it as easily in Thessaloniki) so I wanted to wear it as soon as possible. I played it safe by picking the burgundy from the skirt, and matching it with my burgundy sweater, bag and booties, that came with me to Athens that month. After the photoshoot, we returned home for an hour, and then visited an old school mate of mine, and went to Piraeus for the first time, to visit my old-time reader-turned-friend Elena, and her boyfriend. They took us to an amazing restaurant I really loved. Hope you like this look! Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below!

Mustard & burgundy | Outfits
Hiii! Long time no see! I had to take a break from posting unfortunately, because I was really swamped with Vlogmas, and the move back from Athens. This is the first look we shot back in Athens (because I’m now back in Thessaloniki, since Saturday), and I really liked how it turned out. I love combining my new mustard sweater with red or burgundy. It looks a bit like ketchup and mustard, and these two look great together, don’t you think? haha We shot these pics at Stavros Niarchos Foundation when we went one day, and I really love the contrast with the all grey background. I wore my new Zara jeans for the first time, and combined them with my burgundy ankle boots, and my velvet bag, which goes wherever I go this winter. I also changed my hair, in case you didn’t notice. It is a bit faded in the photos, and looks more red than violet, but it is the color I had at the ends of my hair for the last couple of months. Hopefully it will look more violet than red next time. Do you like my look?

A hint of color | Outfits
This is the last look I had photographed back in Thessaloniki, and I can’t believe it’s almost time to go back. How fast the time went, as expected. On Friday, we’d be traveling back home with T. This is an “office” kind of look. I hadn’t worn these pants for a while and I wanted to wear them again! So I combined them with a simple short-sleeved turtleneck top, my favorite leather jacket, my two-toned high heeled pumps and my new scarf, which was a present of my sister-in-law, some time ago. I wore this look for a casual walk with my boyfriend, to go for coffee at a nearby cafe. Do you like this look? I’ll soon show you the first one we shot while we were here in Athens, and hopefully I’ll have a couple more to show you when I get back! 😉
