Anja's August Favorites

August is my favourite month of the year and this month, as a true Leo, I've been loving bronze, golden and red hues.

Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette 30ml
My favourite fragnance of all times, with almost suffocating sweet scent and beautiful red bottle is something I'd like to consider my signature perfume.
Bought: Muller for 550kn/82$

Bourjois Rouge Velvet Lipstick
The liquid formula of this lipstick allows easy application and since it dries matte, it has a great staying power. This line has a wide spectrum of shades, except deep berry ones, but I opted for classic red and I can't even begin how amazing it feels and looks on the lips.
Bought: Muller for 85kn/12$

NIVEA Essentials BB cream
I've been using this BB cream for years and I always go back to this BB cream. It doesn't give a lot of coverage, but just the right amount, without cloging your pores. It is also extremly buildable, so if you need more coverage on certain spots, you can just add a few more layers. It also has a SPF 10. The only downfall of this product is that it doesn't come in many shades.
Bought: Muller for 60 kn/8$

Benefit Ultra Radiance Facial Re-Hydrating Mist
I bought this product in Athens during my class trip, so it's quite a recent buy, but I've been using this religiously for the past 2 weeks and it feels really refreshing on the skin, wether you use it before putting your makeup as a moisturizer or after as a make-up setting spray.
Bought: Sephora (Athens) for 175kn/26$

Maybelline DREAM SUN Bronzing Powder
One of my holy grail products in general is bronzing powder. I believe it suits any face, when applied properly. I liked this bronzer, because it has 3 different shades in one, making it appear more natural on the skin.
Bought: Muller for 62kn/8.5$

H&M faux suede shorts
This shorts are really comfortable and versatile piece - I usually style it with more casual clothes such as printed tees, but also more elegant such as white button downs. I believe they're currently on sale, so if you're lucky, maybe you can still get them at your H&M.
Bought: H&M (Cvjetni trg) for 70kn/10$

VOSS Water
I'm a huge sucker for cool water bottles and I've been eyeing VOSS for a quite a while. Personally, I don't like the taste of VOSS itself (tho it's great for cleaning some greasy stains on wooden areas hahah). So this month, I've been making detox water in this bottle - it looked and tasted amazing. Bought: Foodness for 15kn/2$

HunterxHunter anime
I love anime, although I don't watch it regulary, but when I do, I end up binge watching the whole series in like a week. HunterxHunter is a remake of the classic anime that aired in the mid 90's and it follows the manga storyline. The story is about Gon Freecss whose goal is to find his father Ging who is a renowned double star hunter. Along the way he meets Kurapika, Leorio and Killua, who each get their story arc. The show quickly shot to my N°1 and it only secured it's place with every episode. In this show, every minute matters, so don't think you will come to the boring part and focus your attention to anything else. Seriously, put down your phone and enjoy the adventure.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Anybody who tells you that the book is about old and new gods, or about a man named Shadow, or about coin tricks, or about having one's head smashed in for losing a game of checkers, is selling you a line, because those are just details, not the story itself. Much like any Neil Gaiman story, the devil is in the details, and you just have to resolve yourself to coming along for the ride or you'll miss it.


MONOCHROME



Simple has always been the key of a good outfit. I have decided to wear my striped grey dress from Zara and i styled it with my Vagabond platformed shoes and some Clubmasters glasses from RayBan, I am also wearing a wool hat from H&M and an old vintage jacket that I found in my mom's closet.




As for the makeup, I am wearing my everyday foundation by Naj Oleari and since countouring is so popular these days I countoured my face with my Catrice countouring kit. I filled my brows with my Catrice brown eyeshadow and I used my Benefit's They're real mascara on my lashes. I am totally in love with golden eyeshadows and the way that they look on my eyes so I've put on my Dior golden eyeshadow with a touch of brown from my NAKED palette. For my lips I used essence's purple-ish lipliner.


Here you can see my watch from Quartz, my Borboleta bracelet, two eye bracelets that I got from Greece (the Greeks believe that the eyes repel bad luck), and another black and white twisted bracelet.


This is one of the simplest outfits I could think of - A line solid black skirt from Topshop, paired with a gray tee and a beige vintage jacket to add that extra dimension to the outfit. I also decided to style it with a black leather backpack from Zara. On my hand I'm wearing only my black Borboleta bracelet.


As a foundation, I'm wearing my good ol' trusty Nivea BB cream, which is super light and gives you just the right amount of coverage without making you feel cakey at all. For contouring I've only used Catrice Sunglow bronzer and just a dash of pink blush. I filled in my brows with Catrice brow set ( I only use the lighter shade). I've decided to go for a bronze red smokey eye on my lids with Maybelline eyeshadow gel in color Metallic Pomengranate and the pink and champange shade from my PUPA palette. On my lips I'm wearing Sephora lipliner in shade Classic Pink . For the finishing touch, I've sprayed Benefit Ultra Radiance Facial re-hydrating mist to set my make-up in place.

JULY FAVORITES


Anja's July Favorites

Solid yellow t-shirt
For month of July I've been really into yellow and when I saw this tee, I absolutely knew I had to had it. I bought it in size bigger than my usual to get that baggy fit I wanted.
Bought: Zara (City Centar One East, Zagreb) for 80kn/12$

White lace shorts
Since I'm naturally tan, I love the contrast on my skin that I get when wearing all white outfits and these white lace shorts have been my wardrobe staple during these past weeks.
Bought: H&M (City Centar One East, Zagreb for 150kn/22$

Red A-line skirt and denim dungarees
I love this whole 70's vibe trend going on, so I've decided to hop on that train with this beautiful faux suede red skirt, and denim dungarees. I usually style them with a striped tee, which is kind of a 90's thing but whatever.
Bought: both Zara for a) 170kn/25$ and b) 260kn/38$

Milano black leather sandals
My dad and I share a big love for the brand Birkenstock - I've had their sandals and slippers ever since I was a little child - and naturally when official Birkenstock store opened in Zagreb, I had to go and grab me some new sandals. They're absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever wore -  I didn't get any blisters even though I've walked for hours in them the first day I got them.
Bought: Birkenstock (Zagreb) for 585kn/86$

Golden earrings
These golden twisted hoops are the perfect statement piece when I'm wearing a high ponytail.
Bought: Mango (Garden Mall, Zagreb) for 30kn/5$ (I'm not sure if this is still available, since it was 50% on the sale)

Eye bracelet set
I've purchased this set because I was in desperate need for some cool new bracelets, and these are just a go-to hand accessory.
Bought: Zara (City Centar One East, Zagreb)  for 150kn/22$

Golden triangle necklace
This necklace reminds me a lot of the Eye of Ra and every time I wear it, it makes me feel like an Egyptian Queen. If that's not enough to make it to monthly favs, then I don't know what is.
Bought: MANGO (Garden Mall, Zagreb) for 40kn/6$ (it was also on sale 50%)

Maybelline COLOR TATTOO in shade Metallic Pomengranate
The colour of this gel eyeshadow is extremly buildable and has a lot of shimmer to it. Also, the packaging is so huge, I feel like it's going to last me for forever. They way I like to wear it is just lightly put it all over my lids and then blend with blending brush to prevent any harsh lines. The colour is perfect for anyone with dark brown eyes, and I find it very flattering also for my skin and hair colour.
Bought: Muller (Zagreb) for 40kn/6$

Yellow nail polish
I actually wore all different shades of yellow for this past month, so there isn't just one nail polish I can include. You can say that I've become a little bit yellow-obsessed, but it's just a phase mom.

Marc Jacobs Kiss Pop Lip Color Stick
During the whole month, I've only wore this bad boy in shade Heartbreak 602 which is a beautiful coral pink.
Bought: Sephora (ordered online) for 190 kn/ 28 $

Dorothy bubble bar from LUSH
I've used this bubble bar religiously in my pamper night routine. The smells is quite exotic, but also sweet and citrusy. It colours the water bright blue, all while creating huge bubbles.
Bought: LUSH (Zagreb) for 35kn/7$

1Q84 - Haruki Murakami
This books has been sitting on my bookshelf for ages and I finally got around to actually reading it. It's a trilogy, each book has about 350 pages, but once you start reading it, you just can't stop. Haruki Murakami has a quite unique way of writing, combining the elements of real and surreal, which makes any reader wonder what's going to happen next.
Bought: Algoritam (Zagreb) for 260kn/38$

Iceberg perfume - Tender White (it was a birthday gift)
This perfume is the perfect summer scent - it opens with a fruity blend of raspberry, grapefruit and pink pepper, and then develops in a light floral and sweet notes of rose, honeysuckle and vanilla. The flacon is made of glass and it is shaped with 'broken' sides, in iridescent shades from transparent icy blue to matter white, imitating the look of icebergs.
