Every summer I tell myself how I should be working out so that right after the holidays I'll be coming back smokin'. Yeah, what a fail. I've come to realize that that will never happen and that summer is a time for indulging myself.
A few days ago I was walking around in Champs-Élysées until I spotted Ladurée. My heart literally skipped a beat. I remember last summer I'd buy a load of cheap macarons but that was nothing in comparison to what Ladurée has to offer!
Each macaron here is about 2.00 euros. Pretty pricey but oh so worth it! My favourites were Rose and Vanilla and I think there was Coconut too. The packaging was also beautiful! I decided to take it to-go seeing as how it's usually always crowded - bummer.
Another addiction? Self-tanners! Now if I were to still be living in the Middle East, then that wouldn't be a problem and I really don't have the patience to be lying down for a good 2 hours! Anyways, lately I've been using the Nivea Summer Beauty self-tanner and honestly, I love it! My legs were as pale as a ghost! I was able to see results in 2 days. The first day worked out well, but I wasn't so sure. The only thing that's putting me off is the scent! Other than that, it's not bad.
Laces! I've been wearing the same lacey top for days now! Well not in a row, but I've been wearing it a lot lately. It's been a good 2 months since I've been looking for one! I found a cheap version of it at F21, however the colour was pink and I've been looking for ivory/off-white. Unfortunately my camera's down so no pix. But I got it at Morgan de toi.
OPI's Panda-monium Pink! It's a pretty pale nude pink colour. It may not be your typical summery shade since usually the colours of the season are bright but I can't stand neon colours or anything bright, also I'm not willing to spend 13.50 euros on nail polish that I'll be wearing 1-3 times a year. Anyways my one complaint is that I don't really like the coating. I have to have about 3 coats to get an even colour but I'm just too in love with the colour, so I guess I don't mind as much.
Bronzer! Now, here's the thing. My skin tone's medium with olive tones. I've stopped wearing blushes for a long while now, and recently got hooked to bronzer since February (my friend got me hooked when I was in Italia!). My one and only (favourite) would have to be Chanel's Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Powder in 64 Desert Bronze. It's lovelovelove. I'm usually really paranoid on breaking out when using powders, but the quality of this is amazing! And honestly, using this kind of evens out my olive-ness. Also, the amount of product you get in the tin lasts you forever. No joke.
