Sephora Hot & Spicy Nail Polish

Sephora has always been a favourite as far as nail polishes are concerned. They're affordable, long lasting, with a wide brush and a great selection of colours.

Hot & Spicy (link) is an almost neon orange, although it looks a little soft in the bottle. It's great for the warmer months, as it gives an instant summery vibe and it looks even greater if you have a tan on!!

As I said the brush is short and wide, which makes the application really easy and fast!! It dries pretty quickly and as you can see it's really shiny even without a topcoat. The consistency is not too runny and you can get an even opaque colour with just one (!!) coat.

Eat - Shop - Repeat

Back to the classics (?!) with another Eat - Shop - Repeat and this, is a good one!! The pictures speak for themselves and make you drool with just one glance - or it's just me..
The past week was one of my favourites, it was my birthday, me my friends went for a picnic and... I bought a new camera!! So without further ado, let's get to it..

EAT : So as I said, we went for a picnic in the park and we decided for each of us to contribute with either a sweet or a savory treat, with mine being : Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownie Swirls (link)!! Ok it is a mouthful, but that's a good thing for a brownie, right?? Just bare with me.. It's a brownie and a cheesecake and it's red velvet on top of that.. What's not to love?? I swear it's the best brownie I've ever had and it isn't quite so difficult to make.. for the recipe click on the link above and you won't be disappointed, at all!!

SHOP : I'm trying so hard not to leap from joy as I'm about to say that now I have my very own camera!!
I've wanted one for so long and I was always postponing it but now I set my mind to it and I got it.. and let me tell you she's beautiful - not quite a trait for a camera but what can I say..? I got the Samsung NX2000 (link), a mirrorless camera, which is actually if a compact camera and a DSLR had a baby!! I've had it only for a couple of days and I'm trying to explore it's full potential which I'll never get to do because I don't know a thing about photography, but I'm at least trying and it's something!!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Review

Ok here it goes.. If you are an avid blog reader or you have subscribed in one or two beauty youtube channels, then you are no stranger to Batiste Dry Shampoo (link).

It's the most hyped dry shampoo in the market and after acquiring it myself, I have to say, it is so with good reason!!

Pros : It smells amazing!!! Coconut and tropical fruits and other delicious summery stuff!! This product doesn't have the same old aerozol smell other dry shampoos have and it actually refreshes your hair and your senses without making you smell like pest control! And on top of that, it actually does a very good job!! Having oily hair, I have tried every product the market has to offer and most of them while absorbing all the unnecessary oils, they always leave a white cast on my hair. I have read some comments that this one does too, but I haven't noticed anything like that until now.

Cons : NONE! I have really tried to be objective and think of something negative about this product and other than we don't have it in Greece - come on, it's not the product's fault - there's nothing there!!

I definitely and wholeheartedly recommend this one - if not pushing you towards it!! If you live in Greece like me, you'll have to order it online from somewhere like Boots - now they ship to Greece, hip hip hurray - with some extra cost unfortunately, or have someone who goes abroad buy it for you, like I did!!
