It's that time of the year!
I really hope that you follow me on instagram, if you do you would have seen that yesterday it snowed and on my gosh,it was sooo pretty!I literally stayed for 10 minutes looking out my window and just stared at the big snowflakes.
At the radio whenever I hear a Christmas song it just brings me so much joy!Christmas is almost here.
Did you buy gifts for your loved ones?
Speaking of gifts, I have received Sia's new Christmas album and it's fantastic.
With 10 new songs recorded ,it was such a lovely surprise to see that Sia recorded her original songs and didn't do covers for Christmas songs, like the majority of the artists.
My favourite song from the album Everyday is Christmas is ' Santa's Coming for us' and it's such a catchy song that you immediately start dancing to the rhythm.

If you love Christmas songs then I would recommend you to buy 'Everyday is Christmas' by Sia and follow her on her social media platforms:

I just looooove subscription boxes.Regardless if it's makeup,food or clothes,I just love it when the mailman brings me a box full of unknown little treats.
That split second of curiosity before opening my package is one of my small pleasures.
This time, I've had the chance to try a pretty unique box, designed by women for women.It's called Empress Mimi.

There are 3 subscription boxes that you can choose from with a price range between 25 and 70 GBP.
Inside my box I have found this gorgeous set of lingerie that fits my body perfectly and while it's so sexy,it's also extremly comfortable.

Such an unique concept can make a perfect Christmas gift! And guess what? You will also have 15% off your first box if you enter the CODE: CUPCAKESPLEND15 at checkout . Enjoy your shopping!

A couple of days ago I was kindly given a beautiful W7 Smokin' Palette to review ,so here are my thoughts on it.

I must say,I needed such a palette because all my other palettes have very bright colours.It's hard for me to find a dark palette that doesn't have intense blue colours as it really looks bad on me , being a blue eyed girl.
As for the W7 Smokin Palette ,the brighter glittery colors are quite pigmented and long lasting.
The last three matte colors are not very pigmented ,but all the other colors are pigmented and quite long lasting,perfect for a smokey eye.
Per total,I think you get a decent quality for the price and it's a perfect palette for beginners and for the girls that like really intense smokey eyes.

I really don't know what's happening to me lately , but if it's a sunny weekend then most probably you will find me in Leeds City Center , spending my money like there's no tomorrow on make-up.

On one of my last spending sprees I bought:

MAC BRUSH CLEANSER 13£

KAT VON D EVERLASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK REDEEM 17£

SLEEK HIGHLIGHT PALETTE DISTORTED DREAMS 11£

SLEEK LIP LINER 5£

I really needed a fast clean up method for my brushes when I'm on the go,so MAC Brush Cleanser was the perfect option for me . I've used it a couple of times and not only that it works , but it's my favorite way of cleaning my brushes.I really recommend this product.

Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks are my option whenever I need a lasting color , specially when I go out for a meal because the color just stays there for hours and hours even if I eat or drink.Also,my husband prefers this kind of lipstick as he hates it when I kiss him and his lips get colored.

I bought Sleek's Distorted dreams highlighter when Kat von D's Alchemist palette was sold out , and I got to admit it , I have a love-hate relationship with it.The colors are nice but the glitter is sooo chunky...and the cream highlighters are hard to apply nicely.

Sleek's lip liner is just a normal creamy lip liner. Not very special,but it's doing its job.

I just realised that I have quite a few perfumes and my collection is getting bigger and bigger so I told myself,why not do a post about it?
Having a nice,quality perfume is essential for me.
These are the perfumes that I have right now,I am not a fan of fresh perfumes,even if it's for men,I prefer sweet ones that I can wear all day long,so 4 of them smell like roses,while another one is a little bit fresh and the other one is musky.

Black XS - It was love at first sniff...
I actually waited for 3 years to buy it...but I eventually got it this year!It's my all time favourite.
I know that it might sound strange,but I feel more confident and positive when I wear it.
I tried more Paco Rabanne perfumes,even Black XS L'exces ,but I prefer this one.

007 For HER- my boyfriend bought it for my birthday,it reminds me of my very first perfume that I received as a gift from my mom almost 18 years ago.
It smells like berrys,it's very feminine and I really like to wear it in the morning.
Unfortunately,it's not very persistant,I cannot feel it anymore after a couple of hours.

Midnight Rose

I usually wear this perfume in the evening.As the name says- Midnight Rose- is a soft , nightish perfume,that I usually like to wear if I go for a date with my fiance or have dinner with friends.

It's a very delicate perfume,and the bottle has a perfect purple ombre.I love the details.

Kate Moss Summer Time- I had every Kate Moss perfume except Vintage.And yes,I consider buying it.
Each and every one of her perfumes are unique,but quite similar.They are gentle,romantic,feminine.
This is your perfect scent for a hot summerish day.

Before buying DKNY -Be Delicious I tried it at a store on a piece of paper.Such a big mistake!
On my skin it smells totally different so I had quite a surprise realising that it was smelling very fresh-and strange- on my skin.I will give it to my aunt soon,it totally doesn't suite me.
But what I like about it is that the smell is very persistant,I can feel it even after 8 hours.

Rise-Beyonce- my boyfriend bought this one for Christmas.
I wear this perfume when I feel like doing something different.It's a musky perfume.
You see,I like wearing my clothes and my perfume depending on my mood.
And if I'm wearing Rise,than I'm feeling myself .

Do you have a favourite perfume?Which one?

kisses,

Hello,loves!
I can't believe it...when will it be sunny outside? 13 degrees ...Are you kidding me?
Don't panic,don't panic.I know what I will do!

Pour a glass of Martini and add a piece of lime ,grab my new book that I just bought 3 days ago from a local charity shop (Lauren Conrad - Sugar and Spice ) and turn on the water in the bathtub.
But ...I really do not know which bathbomb should I choose...Can you help me?

Lush-

You can simply feel the smell of a Lush Shop from 10 meters away.It's sweet,fruity and you simply cannot resist it.
When I went in the shop,in a corner ,a lady was showing the bathbombs to other customers and my human curiosity took me in that direction.

I just had to buy these 2 lovely bubble bars.They smell amazing and they color the water ,making it so pretty!You don't have to use one big piece for a bath,just 1/4 of it and the best part is that you can combine the two of them!

The only inconvenient is that they're a little bit pricey and if you don't use them in 2-3 months they will not make anymore bubbles and will no longer dissolve easily.

Yorkshire Soap

Everytime I go to this shop I buy at least 3-4 bathbombs.I simply can't help it.Also,their soaps are so cute!!!Everytime I go in this shop I tell myself that the next time I will buy a cupcake-soap...well maybe next time. :P

Some of the products that I bought in time:

Bath bombs- a real delight!The pink one is my favourite one,it makes the water pink and smells like berries.

I absolutely love these cupcake-like bath products.
After using them my skin feels babysoft and they have different smells too.

So...which one should I choose ?

kisses,

Hey! :)

When we came back from our trip from Spain,at the airport we bumped into a MAC store...I couldn't have been more excited.
Knowing that the prices in the UK are a little bigger,I was more than happy to pay around 13 pounds for this amazing lipstick.

Swatch:

So this is the shade that I got,I wanted a lipstick that I can wear during the day,but also in the evening.A little bit metallic,but also a little bit matte.

What I love about it is that it's longlasting , I apply it in the morning and after 5 hours it still looks great.
Also,a big plus is that it's a hydrating lipstick.So if your lips are chapped don't worry,this lipstick will not look ridiculos on you.

I also wanted to buy a black eyeliner MAC,because I've seen so many good reviews but it was sold out .Maybe next time .

Tell me,do you have any Mac products?Which one is your favourite?

kisses,

Hello,loves!
It's summer,it's hot outside,it's festival season...and no festival season is complete without Flash Tattoos!
This is the newest,hottest trend and I just had to give it a shout.

I received in my Flash Tattoos in the latest edition of Glossybox before going to Spain on holiday,so I had the chance to wear them at the beach.
This is how you apply a Flash Tattoo:
