Happy Holidays!

Even though i'm an Orthodox Christian and we celebrate Christmas on January 7th, still this is the busiest time of the year. Why you ask? Well, first of all, even though we don't celebrate Christmas in December, we do decorate and we also are buying each other presents for New Years Eve. Also, cooking and planning for New Years Eve, which i will be celebrating at home with my boyfriend and family this year. My birthday is coming soon, there's also that. And last but not least, i have exams this month and in January, and i try to study and take pictures for the blog, all at the same time. So yes, it's definitely the busiest time of the year. It's very stressful, but i don't want to complain, because all of this is for a good reason - the holidays & spending quality time with the people you love.

I'm also wrapping all of the present myself, it's something i really enjoy doing.

I hope you all had a nice Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Review of the day: Bourjois Happy Light Concealer

Don't you just love when you're buying a product for the first time, just to test it, but it turns out it's perfect for you?

That happened to me with this concealer. I was considering other brands, but at the end i bought this one - Bourjois Happy Light Concealer.

And it really is happiness in a tiny package, because it got rid of my dark circles, which have gotten really bad lately, due to sleep deprivation and internet addiction. :)

There were to available shades, Ivoire & Beige Rose. I bought the first one, because it was lighter and the color was more appropriate for my skin tone.

The formula is amazing, it's creamy, soft and blendable, and a little goes a long way, you don't have to use too much to get a good visible result.

It has yellow undertone, but not overpowering yellow which will make you look weird - the shade is very subtle and bright.

Note: For those of you who wear contact lenses, i feel you - I'm wearing contact lenses and some products tend to irritate my eyes, which are sensitive to begin with, but that doesn't happen with this concealer, because it's very light and it's not making my eyes itchy, or red, or anything like that.

Bourjois products are available in many countries all over the world, so if you are in a search for a nice and affordable concealer, you should try this little gem.

Until Soon.
