Wrapping Presents

I never knew that wrapping presents could be so much fun. I bought a few presents for my friends, family & boyfriend, and i decided to wrap them myself.

I will warn them not to visit my blog until December 31st, cause they will receive the presents then, and i really want to surprise them. :) ( actually, i didn't include every present in this post, some of them are behind the camera - as ace up my sleeve, just in case they see these :) )

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!

Winter Makeup "must haves"

I don't have a lot of time to blog this time of the year or do anything for that matter, since is the busiest time of the whole year for me. First of all there are the holidays, preparations for New Years Eve, Christmas, and second, there are the final exams, of course. All i do is study ( oh who am i kidding, i just stare at the book for 2h and i spend 5minutes reading :P ). Anyway, i've been using some makeup products this winter that i absolutely love and can't do without, so i decided to do a short post.

I wrote a review about some of these product few months ago, and i'll make sure to do a review on the rest of the products ( in January ).

The makeup must haves for this winter are:

Rimmel London Wake me up foundation - True Nude
Aura nano lipstick - #83 Tokyo

Retro Photoshoot

My dear friend studies Graphic Design and Photography ( http://dphoto-graphy.blogspot.com/ ), and she recently had a Photo-project, in which she had to make few retro photos. So she asked me and our other friend to be the "models". We agreed, got together at my place, and got everything we needed to create the retro atmosphere, some vintage books and an old tea cup set. We had a lot of fun, that's for sure.

I am wearing a retro dotted white dress, and the red lipstick is Kate Moss 111 Kiss of Life, which is included in one of my previous posts. ( http://octobergraves.blogspot.com/2013/04/four-favorite-lipsticks.html )
