AC/DC Highway to Hell (Girl Fan OOTD)

Hi lovelies!

As a true fan of the AC/DC I had to make this tribute to the band, by featuring them in my OOTD... ;)

When I saw this AC/DC T-shirt at Aclott store (men's dept.) I went totally crazy and grabbed it immediately!

Even though it's a man's T-shirt, I didn't care, I bought it in a size S, and then, at home, I cut off the sleeves and along the neckline, and transformed it into a more up-to date, cool/trendy/oversized tank top!

This AC/DC top has instanly become one of the favourite items in my wardrobe!

Check out my styling video here:

rimmel stay matte pressed powder review & demo

Hello beauties!

In this post I'm reviewing one of the cult make up products, and one of the must- haves in my beauty bag!

Rimmel London
Stay Matte
Pressed Powder
# 001 Transparent

Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder is such a beloved product by many, and the reason for that is quite simple: It's very affordable price wise, yet very high quality!

This product never failed me down: It sets my make up without altering the colour/texture of my foundation, and it matifies my face in a perfect day (with the exceptional lasting power!)

It contains natural minerals which help minimise the appearance of pores.

The container holds 14 g (0.48 oz); I've been using it on a daily basis, as a last step in my make up routine, and I've had it for months now! As you can tell from the pic above, I hit the pan on it and I'll soon need to repurchase it, but it did last me quite a while.

I bought it at my local supermarket in Italy, but I won't be making this mistake again! Thanks to my subscribers, I found out that in Italy, this product retails twice the price it has in other european countries!

In fact, on my recent trip to Croatia, I poped in one of the local beauty stores and discovered it retails at cca 38 kn (cca 5€), whereas in Italy I bought it for cca 10€.

That's quite absurd and I can't seem to figure out why is that so!

I like to apply this powder with my Sephora mineral powder brush #45

Rimmel Stay Matte is a very light texture powder, it's suitable for all skin types, but it's perfect for oily/combination skin.

I apply it only on my T-zone, where I know I risk to develop shine in a course of the day. I find that I don't even need to touch up my make up when I set it with this powder, even when I'm working long hours!

You can use it as a setting powder, on top of your foundation, or alone (I use it as a setting powder and that's why I went for the shade 001 transparent. If you use it alone, I suggest you pick it out in a shade that's the most similar to your skin tone, that way you'll have a better coverage.)

I've made a review video where I'm talking more about this pressed powder and I also did a little demo where I showed you how I apply it on my face so you can see the results and the finish.

Kenzo Style OOTD: Zara Tiger T shirt

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and a great start to this new week! I was super busy, I was in Croatia, running some errands and just this afternoon I returned home to Italy!

Unfortunately, I was too busy to film an OOTD, or vlog, and the weather was horrible too! It was pouring rain and the centre of my town was flooded!

Luckily, today we had nice weather & sunshine for our trip back to Italy...

Today's blog post is about an OOTD that I posted on my youtube channel a couple of days ago (maybe even weeks?! Idk..time just flies by...)

I really liked this outfit so I wanted to share it with you & maybe inspire some of you :)

Btw...I wanted to say a huuuge THANK YOU for supporting my blog & youtube channel!!!

I just recently hit 2000 subbies with my second channel (dedicated to all things related to fashion, trends, food, diet, vlogs...) and I'm approaching 1 million views on that channel alone, which is insane!!! You guys are truly the best and are my major reason to keep going on with this "hobby"!

My blog is also a source of satisfaction: I'm almost at 500 000 views and I really can't thank you enough!

When I hit 500 000 views on my blog, there'll be an exciting giveaway, I already started gathering the prize! It's my way of saying thank you, I really do care! :)

Now...back on topic! OOTD, that is ;)

Ever since Kenzo launched this trend, tiger print can be found everywhere...of course, Zara offered its version of this trend, in a form of this vintage looking, Tiger print tee...

I grabbed it at summer sales, and together with some other high-street items, styled it in this fun & trendy outfit!

I hope you like it!
