Hello my lovelies!
I'd like to share with you something "personal"... My Apivita milk cleanser!
I was getting sick of my make-up wipes; yes, they're easy to use but eventually I felt they dried out my oily skin. So this time I opted for a milk cleanser for taking off my make-up (I cleanse my face morning/night with this fabulous Body Shop gel cleanser).
Apivita's Personal range consists of seven fragrance-free basic formulas rich in natural composition to a level of 96%. Isn't that amazing? They are:
- Moisturising day cream SPF10
- Day&night cream
- Cleansing milk
- Tonic lotion
- Gentle shower gel
- Moisturising body milk
- Moisturising body cream
They can be used as they are, or you can add a choice of Apivita's organic essential oils according to your skintype or your current mood- hence the "personal" tag.
So I went to Apivita's counter at Hondos Center; you should see it, they have a special working area where they mix the formulas with an array of 24 essential oils! I wasn't allowed to take a picture, though :(
The sales assistant asked for my skintype, looked at my skin and fixed me the milk cleanser. My recipe? 8 drops of geranium and 6 drops of lemon.
At this point I should warn you: as the products are fragrance-free, they get the scent from the added essential oils. And I'm not talking about artificial scent, it's the real thing in all its heady glory! Surprisingly, this milk cleanser's composition smells like a turkish delight- and it's so intense that it almost gives me a headache! As for its cleansing properties, it's ok- a bit "runny" for my taste but nevertheless it performs well.
So, what do you think? Have you bought anything from Apivita's Personal range? Would you consider the addition of essential oils as a novelty or an unnecessary step?
Happy blogging and reading and commenting to everyone!

Hello my lovelies!
Back to normal posting again; I've got some exciting news to share with you- exciting for me, that is...
I got Creme d' Nude! And I love it!!!
Oh, I feel like celebrating!
So please excuse the following pictures, I know you've probably seen it everywhere but they only serve the purpose of my own thrill...
Yes, I happily joined the Mac craze, I've jumped into the Mac b(r)andwagon, I'm a potential Mac wh**e; however you want to call it, I did it.
It became impossible of me to miss that purchase so I got it. A few blogger comments actually aided in my decision of breaking my lipstick ban, notably the girls from All The Vanity and This Is Me (you little devils...), but ultimately I blame only myself. And you know what? I don't care!!! I'm still trying to finish some of my old lipsticks, but a little "spicing it up" now and then with a new purchase isn't bad either!
P.S.: I'm storing it in its sleek black box, I'd like it to remain a luxury and a "special" treat for as long as possible- because I probably won't be getting any other Mac goodies soon... That's all for this season. Keepin' it austere, right?
Group hug, Mac fans ;)
Happy blogging and reading and commenting to everyone!

Hi everyone,
This post stands in contrast with the rest. I was planning to share with you some of my last purchases; but considering today's news, my heart couldn't allow it.
I'm speaking of the tragic, uncalled-for death of three bank workers caused by suffocation after the bombing of the building they were working, located at the heart of Athens.
It would be unfair to say that these incidents are unknown to us all, we've seen it happening before so many times- a peaceful mass demonstration that a certain group of people with a twisted sense of justice succeed in turning it into a series of ravaging riots. But today we've been witnesses of a criminal assault to our very senses, an unjustified attack by a violent flock of wolves who wreak their adrenaline by spreading fear and rage to all citizens.
Despair. Being unable to react, feeling completely useless like a disabled person that stares at the world and cannot move his finger against such inhumane and cowardly acts. These are my thoughts at this tragic day. The only thing that rolls around in my mind is a phrase from "Apocalypse Now", a great film by F.F.Coppola:
"the horror... the horror..."
Please excuse my irrelevant post, in all modesty I felt the urge to speak my mind.
Peace to us all.

Hello my lovelies! I'm back again ;)
I was away at the countryside, celebrating the 1st of May during an expanded weekend. Like the photo I took of the scenery?
So I returned yesterday, sat in front of my computer to update on blogger posts and youtube videos I missed during my absence, a run-down that lasted aprox. 6-7 hours... I read all posts published since last Wednesday but I didn't have the time and courage to comment much- because you know, I love giving comments as much as receiving them!
Current randomness:
- It's official; I came to realise that diet is among the things that control my state of mind. All this time I've been eating loads of junk food- but now that I'm taking care of what goes through my stomach, I feel much more relaxed and less stressed!
- I'm still thinking about Creme d' Nude. I'm sorry to admit it but I begin to feel that this particular shopping urge is bigger than me...
- The news about the austerity measures concerning the Greek economy get me so depressed- but ultimately, the only appropriate thing to do is to look ahead and adapt to the circumstances. By the way, did you notice that nowadays it's ok to openly talk about saving money? 15-20 years ago you would be considered a cheapskate...
Share your randomness, too ;)
Happy blogging and reading and commenting to everyone!
