Brighton

Hello! This week we have been enjoying a lovely sunny weather here in London, so me and my bf took of to Brighton to get some sunshine. It was my first time in Brighton actually, quite a small place with many vintage shops and cute stuff. The popular stone beach is quite confortable, belive it or not, and we took a 2 hour nap there! I woke up to find part of my thighs, the area between the high socks and the shorts, tanned! So now I have a lovely darker stripe across my thigh, omg, haha, good times :)

I like to check tokyofashion.com snaps from time to time. These are some I've saved over time, my favorite, so to say. I'm still at a age where I don't know which style suits me best or I can call my own, therefore I like to try different styles and I think that show in these pics I chose, haha. I like vintage, I like sweet and cute, I like grunge, etc... Of course I don't mean that everyone must be defined by one style only, but I do hope some day I will find the one for me, the one style I feel confortable in as my onw skin. Until then, I'll keep on trying.

The wonderful 40's!
I wish I had a time travel machine to visit each decade and enjoy their fashion.

Clinique

Lately, probably caused by the cold weather and stress, I've been having a few issues with blemishes. My nose and the area around it and my cheeks always seem flushed. My skin care routine is the same as usual, so I don't really have an explanation for this.

I decided to try different products supposed to correct this redness. Clinique has a range called "redness solutions" and I bought the liquid foundation and base. It came with two free sample items (eye cream and mascara, in the pic above). The foundation is alright, I expected more coverage though. I still need to dab concealor on some places and use powder. It helped a bit, but not really what I was looking for from a product especially made for redness... I will keep using it until I find a better replacement. The base is a sheer green that becomes colorless after blended on to the skin. I'm not sure how much it helps really, since it becomes invisible, but I will keep using it for protection sake.

The eye cream though is really nice. It's like a gel formula, it feels super soft when applied around the eyes. And it helped to bright up a tiny bit, no major difference so far, but an improvement to my Olay eye cream.

This was my first experience with Clinique and although I am not 100% disappointed, I'm not sure if I would purchase from the brand again.
