Cute Pyjama Bottoms - David and Goliath Shopping Haul

I recently went to buy new pyjama bottoms and I heard that David and Goliath has amazing ones. So I went to their Covent Garden branch in Central London and bought two: a long and a short pyjama bottom. They have such gorgeous and cute clothing in the shop!

The shorts that I bought is purple and has dancing kitchen equipment on it. It is super comfortable due to the blue elastic band on the top and also the material feels good. I paid around 15 GBP for the shorts.



The second pair of pyjama bottoms I bought has little giraffes printed on the fabric. The color is a mix of yellow, blue and light purple. They were around 25 GBP.




The style of David and Goliath is probably rather childish but I think that is why I like it so much. I mean, how cute are these two trousers?!

My advice is to not buy them too small as then the elastic band might be very tight which is not comfortable at all.

Revlon Lip Butter

Hey everyone!

I hope you are having a great weekend so far! I know there exist quite a few reviews on the Revlon Lip Butters already but I also wanted to share my opinion with you.

I bought three different shades: Strawberry Shortcake (No. 080), Berry Smoothie (050) and Cotton Candy (045). They are 7.99 GBP in Boots which is quite expensive but Boots had a 3 for 2 offer (buy 3 products and get the cheapest for free) so that overall the price seemed ok. 



My first impression of the lip butters was that they looked like lipsticks, the colors seemed vibrant and also the packaging appeared very much so. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning but now I really really love them!  They glide on the lips like butter when applying and feel so light and moisturizing, more like lip balm. I was expecting a fruity smell when I tried them first as the packaging is so youthful but they do smell very neutral. 



Strawberry Shortcake and Cotton Candy are quite similar but the latter is far more shiny and glittery. The Lip Butters are so awesome because you can wear them on any occasion. For the lighter shades I found that no mirror is needed for the application.



What I did not like that much about the Revlon Lip Butters is that they do wear away very quickly and will not stay on the lips for long. The colors I have chosen are not very strong but there are more vibrant colors too. I like pastel and light colors so these Lip Butters are perfect for me.

I do not think that they are available in Germany but I am sure that there are some shipping options from the UK.

Nails of the Day - Maybelline Express Finish

Hey everyone, I hope you are all well. The weather here in the UK is super horrible: it is raining, it is windy and it is cold! In June!

Sooooo I tried to give my nails a summer look! I recently bought my first Maybelline Nail Vanish. I have totally fallen in love with the color: Turquoise Lagoon (No. 862). It is just such a lovely summer shade. The price is 4.09 GBP but Tesco has it on offer at the moment for only 3.09 GBP. 

One reason why I adore this nail vanish is that it is so long-lasting and dries very quickly (Maybelline claims 40 seconds).

LONDON







We had an amazing day in Central London and thought we would share some of our impressions with you. Having started near London Bridge we crossed Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, went over to St Katharine Docks and back.

And the nicest Starbucks CafĂ© in London was on our way...in St Katharine Docks  (http://www.skdocks.co.uk/) near Tower Bridge. View on a lake with lots of little boats. Such a beautiful and relaxing location in Central London.






Artdeco Ceramic Nail Polish

I adore the Artdeco Ceramic Nail Polish Collection! Artdeco claims that the nail polish consists of very fine ceramic particles which give it an intense colour and a long lasting shine. 

I used colour No. 122 but the whole collection consists of 28 different colours. The nail polish is 7.50 Euro in Germany and 10.25 GBP in the UK (advantage for the Germans :P )

I loved how easy the application is. I ususally apply two layers when I use nail polish but for this one I thought that already one layer had a very strong effect and gave my nails an intense colour.

Zara Shopping Haul

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3807348/belle-soleil?claim=f4hesbk9mce">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Here two gorgeous pieces available in Zara at the moment. The first one is a super pretty white blazer. It costs 49.95 GBP which I think is a bargain. The blazer is very simple but has a pocket on each side which can be opened and closed with a zip. It is timeless, has a female shaped silhouette and a white/cream colour. I think this blazer is amazing as it is so classic but yet stylish. It is wearable for formal occasions but also for a night out. I also think that it looks a lot more expensive than it actually was. I cannot wait to wear it..!


The second piece is a red and blue checked shirt with golden ornaments on the pockets. This shirt fits perfectly to a tight black jeans and black boots and I am really excited about it. It was a bit pricey, 39,95 GBP, but it is a real investment buy. I especially love the golden coned spikes on the pockets.






17 Instant Glow Gold Bronze Shimmer Brick



OMG! I really did not want to buy any make-up when I went shopping recently but here it goes. I bought the 17 Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze in Boots. In the UK it has only been dark and rainy for the past weeks and I am desperately waiting for some sunshine to come. I thought a bit of summer color in my face will help and it did! 
I bought the product with the impression of it being a bronzer but I think it can also perfectly be used as a highlighter. It includes four different shades: a rose one with a silvery shimmer, a light brown/silver shade, a golden shade and a brown shade with golden shimmer. The shades give a very natural tan and do not look orange on my skin.



I love that I can decide myself how dark I want the bronzer/highlighter to be. When I have been in the sun for a long time and my skin is tanned then I can for example only use the darker shades. The shimmer of the product is lovely because it is not too much which makes Instant Glow wearable for every occasion, even for an evening event. When applying it for the first time I made the mistake that I applied too much of it as the powder is very well pigmented. 

I paid 4.99 GBP and I think it is a fantastic buy. The quality of the 17 Instant Gold Bronze Shimmer Brick is first class. I would give it 5/5.
