One of the best thing that come with the Holidays of course is Holiday Make up.. wow! At the end of the day a girl can never have too much make up right? KIKO Milano has  got it all right this Holiday Season with its Cosmic Starlets Collection.  Red festive packaging, great products and wonderful gifts ideas, what not love about the collection??
The collection  takes inspiration from four different types of women: The Temptress, The Romantic, The Free Spirit and The Innocent. Four distinctive beauties all proud of who they are and experts at bringing forward their unique qualities which depends on their mood and desires.
The collection includes a variety of professional quality products all in "Cosmic Starlets" style. Must-haves products in intense colours including an eyeliner, kayal and mascara reveal the eye's ability to allure. Lips are striking with bright hues while nails stand out with super glossy nail polish. Senses are stimulated with the new Eau de Toilette which goes to emphasize feminity. Then a variety of gifts and beauty sets all beautifully presented in bright red packaging which will make for wonderful gifts complete the collection.






I personally have fallen in love with the Comic Starlet Swirly Brush Set, a great set of five professional brushes which come in a beautiful pochette. The set include a face powder brush, a blush brush, a foundation brush, a flat face ye brush and an eyeliner brush. These are really some great quality professional brushes which are essential to apply all your other KIKO products. And don't you just love the little red pouch they come in? Embellished with a star charm, it reflects the mood of the collection.











During the Holidays I am a great fan of highlighters or just anything that brings a bit of light into my face. I am really loving the Dazzling Highlighter. It has a soft and creamy texture and it is really easy to apply. I use it to highlight cheekbones and neckline, the finish is really natural and radiant. The product is filled with light-reflecting pearls and feels really soft on the skin.
A wonderful product to bring a bit of sparkle to all your Holiday's make up!

With Yankee Candles through the Holiday Season!


As you already know I am a big fan of scented candles and my favourite are without a doubt Yankee Candles! I personally love them all year around but I must say in Winter and especially during the Holiday it is when I enjoy them the most.
I love the Holiday collection..like Winter Glow, Berry Trifle or Cozy by the Fire everytime I light them I really get in the Holiday Spirit. Normally I would place them just on the sideboard but during the Holiday Season I love to bring the candles into my decorations. I think they look great as centrepiece. I have put two of my candles in my livingroom Holiday arrangement together with Christmas baubles, pine cones, stars and other ornaments.
They really create a cozy and warm atmosphere at night time as well as filling the house with wonderful scent!
Yankee Candles also make for wonderful gifts, and if you like someone who loves scented candles they surely will be delighted with them.
With so many flavours, shape and sizes of Yankee Candles you are sure to find one to warm up your Holidays!

With RIMUSS and FRIZZ it is time to toast to the Holiday Season!

Holidays are here so it is party time and celebration time! For the most wonderful time of the year we better be ready with some fantastic drinks both to offer to family and friends but also to enjoy ourselves.
And what better than a champagne alternative but with no alcohol? The new RIMUSS SECCO is the smart alternative to Champagne or Prosecco. Made from  sparkling grapes juice and non-alcoholic wine is less sweet than the original RIMUSS making it really appealing to an adult audience.
So if you have been invited to a Christmas Party or to an aperitif but you are driving ? No problem, why not bring a bottle of RIMUSS SECCO : 0% alcohol, 100 % pleasure!!





RIMUSS SECCO

Who doesn't know RIMUSS? The iconic Swiss bubbly drink loved by young and old during the Holiday Season! I used to love it as a child as RIMUSS gave me the oppurtunity to toast and cheer with my family, I used to really look forward to the Holidays as I knew that like every year RIMUSS would be on our table!
Growing up however tastes changes, and I find RIMUSS now a little too sweet for my taste. So you can imagine how excited I was about the new RIMUSS SECCO. 
It cointains about half of the sugar of  RIMUSS Party therefore is perfectly suited to adults' taste.









FRIZZ SPUMANTE

If think you can't give up the idea of an alcoholic aperitif I would suggest the new FRIZZ SPUMANTE.
A sparkling and fruity cocktail wine Italian Style!
I love it already!
Directly from Italy FRIZZ SPUMANTE is made of Italian Rosé, peach juice and natural aromas of peach.
Its bright orange and red colour makes us think of ripe peaches and when opened it hits you with some  bitter and fruity notes to then reveal an elegant harmony while tasting to leave you with a persistent full-bodied taste.
It is the perfect enjoyed on its own or as a base for mixing cocktails.
For a a true Italian Aperitif, enjoy it on the rocks with a slice of orange and serve with olives, parmiggiano cheese and some ciabatta bread!
Salute!!

Holiday time means movie time!!!

The nights are getting colder and darker, and with the Holidays coming up there is not many things that I enjoy more than just chilling on the sofa sipping an hot chocolate and watching movies. Christmas it is really the best time to do it, and movies also make for great gifts!
I have picked here for you two movies ideas for a great night cozying up by the fire. They couldn't be more  different as one your typical Christmas movie comedy and the other it is an action packed movie. Just because if you like me you enjoy Christmas movies, and you start watching them every year starting from December the 1st you might feel like watching something different got to Christmas..and I also think your other half will appreciate the choice.


A Merry Friggin' Christmas ( Furchtbar Fröhliche Weinhachten)

Directed by Tristam Shapeero and written by Phil Johnston A Merry Friggin' Christmas is a Yuletide comedy which sees Boyd Mitchler (Joel McHale) and his wife Luann (Lauren Graham) who are forced to spend dreaded Holidays with Boyd's eccentric father Mitch ( Robin Williams) and his family of misfit which he has been avoiding for years. At the end of the day Christmas time is family time and we can not choose family.
After realizing he has left all of his son's gifts at home,  the only solution to get the presents in time under the tree is an 8-hour drive back home and back.
Boyd gets on the road with his dad in a blizzard to attempt to make the 8-hour round journey before sunrise.






LUCY

Directed by Luc Besson and starring Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman and Amr Waked the movie released in 2014 became a box office success. Shot between Taipei, Paris and New York City the movie sees Lucy ( Scarlett Johansson) gaining psychokinetic abilitites through a nootropic drug absorbed through her bloodstream. Accidentally caught in the middle of a dark deal, Lucy turns the table on her captors and transforms herself into a warrior evolved beyond human logic.






Enjoy the movies!!






Walking in a winter wonderland..


The Holiday Season is well and truly on the way and I really hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed some well deserved rest and time with the family
Here the snow made its first appearance and I really enjoyed some time off with my hubby in the snow.
I am sure you got some great deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday and I hope my Michael Kors Holiday's must-haves guide has been helpful.
I certainly got myself ahead, I found a great deal on a Michael Kors bag I had been eyeing for a while and I am currently waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait for it to be delivered and to tell you all about it! I can only tell you that it will bring much glow to my Holidays outfits..
In the meantime my new watch and jewelry in rose gold have arrived, and I love them!
Now, I am all set for the Holidays with my new Michael Kors Madelyn watch and matching rose gold bracelets.
Madelyin with its pavĂ© silver and rose gold really showcases luxury details and craftmanship it is a true star piece which will make me shine through the party season. 
And what better background to show it off then a winter wonderland?
