This time it is all about make up and hairdos that I want to learn to create sometime in the future. It all looks simple in the pictures but when you try to recreate the looks it just looks like a terrible mess, yes, I've been there many times. But, as they say practice makes things perfect. Never stop perfecting yourself, there are always new things to learn.<br />
<br />
So, my most beloved looks from the board Beauty (these are not my pictures, just my repins):<br />
I can never get my polka dots right like this, is there a magic trick I missed out on?<br />

This is not an exactly Autumn/Winter look but I really like the combination of the colours here, you could create the same effect but with a red and a burgundy lipstick.<br />

In the past few weeks, I have been searching for a body lotion or a body butter for my daily use, because strangely enough I did not bring one with me when I came back to the UK. I went to Boots, Superdrug and all the other shops around town looking for an affordable price and a good scent. Having not found anything that fancied my likes I just waited a bit, it's like I knew some great deal is going to turn up my way. And then I got THE email that was worth all the wait. An email from the Body Shop saying that they have a 40% off the entire website, including the sale. Now that's what I am talking about. I love Body Shop body butters but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 19px;">£</span>13 for a body butter to me is a bit much (I'm a student, after all) that is why I always try to stock up when they have great sales like that. So, of course I immediately started browsing the website and ended up buying a whole lot of products. And it all cost me only <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 19px;">£</span>21.15.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I always get so much inspiration just by browsing different Pinterest categories, to be honest I think my most repinned one is Hair & Beauty, but I can't be blamed there are so many beautiful things out there and so many girls I want to look like.<br />
But, today, I've decided to share with you a few bits from two of my boards: Places & Spaces (inspiration for my future apartment (hopefully in a few years) and travels) and a Wishlist board, with things I want to get my hands on as soon as possible.<br />
If any of these bring a smile to your face, a good memory or a creative idea, I've done my job for the day.<br />

If not, it can't be helped.<br />

I think it's been almost a year since my last one, so I guess I have a lot of pics to share with you. However today I will share my favourite ones and if you want to see more follow me on Instagram @focusoniana.

Whether you are in Norway, United Kingdom or Republic of Moldova, this is dedicated to you. <br />
<br />
For the year of 2013, I set myself a book challenge on my Goodreads account. I settled on the number 35, which is doable with all the university work and all the summer activities I am to do outside of reading. As I was on a reading roll from about September to March I somehow managed to get to 24 books and I am proud to say that I am still 7 books ahead. The numbers do not matter as much, what matters most is to get rid of my 'to read' pile and buy more new ones. I am a book buying addict, more precisely awesome books but bought for a bargain. I was quite good at doing that in the past year. I managed to get a lot of books from the BBC Top 100 Book List for a pound or so. I would like to think I have a good eye for bargains, not only for books, but in general.<br />
<br />
I am rambling now. OK, so lately, to be more exact for the month of June, I have been quite behind with my reading. It was all due to my internship in June, but now that it is over I thought I need to get cracking.<br />
<br />
I will be doing the 31 days reading challenge inspired by the YouTube Book Community. Most of the guys out there did it in June, and as I was quite busy I will be doing it in July and have another day as a bonus.The amount of pages that you presumably have to read throughout this month is 6000 pages. That seems impossible to me, that is why I will be changing the rules and just set myself a number of books for the month that I need to get through. I have selected 6, some of them which I started earlier but never got to finishing them, and so all of the pages summed up together result in 1,072 pages which divided by 31 makes 34,5 so basically 35 pages per day. That sounds very promising and with all the going out possible to accomplish. I will do an update at the beginning of August :)<br />
Wish me luck and feel free to join the challenge with me!<br />
<br />
<br />
These are the books I want to read throughout the month of July, 6 in total:<br />

These particular series called Music Mondays were inspired by a fashion blogger who goes by the name of That's Chic. <a href="http://www.thatschic.net/" target="_blank">http://www.thatschic.net/ </a><br />
<br />
Not sure if she does that every Monday or not, I just saw the title of the blog post last Monday and thought that it is so me that I definitely have to start doing that.<br />
So, basically, the idea behind this is that I will be posting a song every Monday, it might be because the lyrics are beautiful or the clip is awesomely filmed or whatever, but if it is here that means I feel it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it and even though it has been a year since then I still cannot get enough of it. It is magnificent in every way to me.<br />

P.S. NOTE:<br />
As you have probably noticed I do not only write about beauty anymore. I want this to blog to be much more than that. I have lots of ideas that I want to try and get done and I really hope that this sounds exciting to you, as well. Also, by writing more often I hope to get better at it, because to be honest I do suck at it sometimes.

They only care about themselves and are violent and abusive.<br />
<br />
It is not in any way my personal belief, but nonetheless a very popular one within my generation.<br />
They might be a rare breed, but they do exist. I met three yesterday.<br />
<br />
The first one offered me his hand when I was getting off the bus.<br />
The second gentleman politely offered me a ride to the nearest station, while it was raining cats and dogs outside.<br />
The third, offered me half of his umbrella on my way home from the station.<br />
<br />
Gentlemen, please do this more often. I promise to write more posts about you.focusonthequiethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04956021936148593666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107262870998042282.post-628773759882321632013-06-04T14:09:00.001+01:002013-06-04T14:09:37.240+01:00Style Crush #4 Abbey Lee KershawThis Australian beauty has always been a model that stood out to me because of her extravagant, non-ordinary style. The embroderies, gipsy skirts, furs and hats that she wears all the time, somehow create a mysterious aura of a 'hippie witch'( weird non-existent term, I know) around her.<br />
It is not necessarily that I would wear these outfits, but I do appreciate when people look confident while wearing quite strange outfits. <br />

This will be part #1 of the up coming series of <i>Empties</i> posts. This one is all about hair care and body products I've used up since September, when I started collecting empty bottles like a crazy person who has nothing else productive to do with her life. Yep, that is exactly me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And this is the result here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First off is the <b>Burt's Bees Radiance Exfoliating Body Wash</b>. This is a product I've been excited to try out when I have received it in my mystery Burt's Bees bag, I had in the bag four samples of it (2x350ml and 2x50ml). It became a product towards which in the end I felt quite indifferent. It has a very liquidy consistency compared to your standard shower gel, but it has those jojoba beads that help exfoliate your body. The most disappointing thing about this body wash is its scent. It reminds me of cereal or oats, which is a weird smell to have in the shower, but it is not in any way overpowering, just not very pleasant. I've used almost all of the bottles, I have the last big one in the shower now, but I would definitely not repurchase the product.<br />

I am a fan of The Body Shop products and especially I like their body butters and shower gels. This particular shower gel in the <b>Fuzzy Peach</b> scent has been a favourite of mine since the day I started using it. It is nothing special, it does the job as any gel would, but man, are Body Shop brilliant at creating yummy, refreshing scents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The <b>Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly</b> shampoo has been a favourite of mine as well. As I have wavy hair, for once I've decided to actually try a product designed for it. Went to Boots, saw this on offer, decided to give it a go. Loved the smell and the product, have not seen a massive difference in the way my hair behaved itself, but it was soft and felt a bit more 'in control'. I would definitely recommend it and repurchase sometime soon.<br />

And the last two products, are <b>Triple Resist</b> shampoo and conditioner from the L'Oreal Elvive range. I've been seeing a lot of new L'Oreal hair care ranges coming out and decided to try one of them out, at once. I've chosen the Triple Resist because I'm always looking for products that ensure protection and resistance for my hair. I've enjoyed using these two together, the smell was very pleasant and almost felt luxurious, in a way. It is always hard to tell whether shampoos work or not, but as long as you don't get dandruff or a scalp rash you are fine.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been too long now since I've been here and to be honest I can't even justify to you guys the true reason to why I've been away. And still I'm not even sure if I want to come back full-time. I've not posted here anything since July and I really miss blogging sometimes but if I start writing I want to commit to this 100%, so I'm still deciding. I'm probably overthinking stuff, as always.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But hey, on the other hand, I've been quite active on Pinterest and Tumblr. These where the places I went to when I lacked inspiration or words, and it seems it was a constant need these last months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I've just found a drafted nail post I've written weeks ago and never posted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's be honest, black nailpolish isn't the best colour to wear on the nails in summer. However, you can brighten it up a bit with a pop of white or any other colour, like a did below.</div>

The fact is I want to use it up as fast I can. I've had this perfume for more than two years now and I just don't feel like it represents me, in any way. Yes, it is a beautiful scent but I guess I am used to more settled fragrances. If you are like me then bare in mind that this fragrance might be quite strong at first. You have to get used to it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a citrusy and sweet scent. Fragrantica.com describes Nina <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">as a perfume aimed at younger generations with top notes of apple, lime and praline. The perfume made it's first appearance in 2006.</span></div>

As I haven't done April and May favourites posts and now can't wait till June is over to do one, I decided to mention today four products I've been loving lately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPUso_Y0CJ7EASdhP01C3OZbvLSnH0L_gFfOo9tQ5QzQ4VEZI7YoZQiREfi3vk7FbwjBsYqrCSfDG3hhVesKm4PI08ZfUcBtJq8IeJrypVvcpcUCTS1Ofxz0iqUYnRrVqbF5YmOH0mYs3/s1600/IMG_7128.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPUso_Y0CJ7EASdhP01C3OZbvLSnH0L_gFfOo9tQ5QzQ4VEZI7YoZQiREfi3vk7FbwjBsYqrCSfDG3hhVesKm4PI08ZfUcBtJq8IeJrypVvcpcUCTS1Ofxz0iqUYnRrVqbF5YmOH0mYs3/s640/IMG_7128.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
First off, is the <span style="color: #741b47;">Johnson's Radiance Body Lotion with Shea and Cocoa butters</span> which I use every single night before I go to sleep. My favourite thing about this product is the fact that it sinks into the skin really fast. As I was used to the Body Shop butters,compared to those, I feel like this lotion absorbs in just a second. I'm indifferent to the smell though, as it isn't very strong when applied to the skin. If used daily it delivers great results in terms of soft and silky skin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This next favourite is also one of my daily used products. It is a <span style="color: #741b47;">Nivea </span>sun protecting cream with a Spf of 30. It is quite a challenge to find a good SPF that won't look too white or greasy on the skin. But I believe I've found the one and I'm in love. I love that it is fast absorbing, non greasy and is 50 ml which means I could easily carry it with me every day.<br />

<span style="color: #741b47;">Avon Foot Works Cream in Cinnamon Orange</span> is featured in this blogpost only because of its amazingly awesome scent. If you love warm, woody scents you'll enjoy this cream very very much. It reminds of Christmas.<br />

And the last in my favourites list is a product I got in my Burt's Bees Mystery Bag. While being on holiday I used this constantly. This <span style="color: #741b47;">Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in the shade Rhubarb </span>was a saviour as it is a great moisturising lip balm but with a hint of colour. A thing I have to tell you is don't be scared of the word 'shimmer' in the name as it is totally unnoticeable on the lips in the both shades I own: Rhubarb and Watermelon.<br />

And this is a crime in the blogging world. I actually scheduled some posts to publish themselves automatically while I was on holiday, but that didn't work. I'm not that great with all the buttons and html. But I'm back into posting as I did before, three or four times a week, and again apologize to you my readers for the awful mistake.<br />
<br />
The reason I've been away was a seaside trip to Turkey with my family. I spent a fun time with my loved ones and of course, I took some pictures to share with you, guys.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: dimgrey; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Some tips and tricks from the Elle magazine website that I thought I'd share with you. All of them are really useful if you want to look flawless.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Too much moisturiser will make your foundation slip; our skin will only absorb what product it needs, so blot the skin before applying foundation for a long lasting finish.'<br /><i>Jamie Coombes, Dior's UK National Make-up Artist</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Product primers ensure a long lasting hold to foundations, keeping skin smooth, fresh and radiant all day long - they are a must, especially before a special occasion.'</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Marie McKeever, Clarins UK Head of Treatment Development</i> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />When working with dark eyeshadows apply these before your foundation so any fallen pigment won't ruin the base. Also, apply your mascara before your base as this can also knock excess pigments onto your base. Remove all fallen pigments with a cotton bud dipped in a cleansing water, and then apply your base.'<br /><i>Make-up Artist, Florrie White</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />'When choosing the right shade of foundation, it is important to match your chest to your face. You should aim to match the two otherwise your face will be one shade and chest another. If your chest has caught the sun and has more colour then warm the skin on your face with a little bronzer applied to where the sun naturally hits to give a natural glow.'<br /><i>Cassie Lomas, Make-up Artist and Bourjois Spokesperson</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Concealer used for the eye area should have more of a creamy texture with enough slip to make it blend effectively and be sure to use an eye cream in conjunction with the application of your concealer so that it does not look dry or cakey. Concealer used to cover scars or blemishes should be a little heavier and have a slightly drier feel to them. This will ensure longevity on the skin and provide the right texture for that specific area.'<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><i>Laura Mercier</i></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br /></span>To get started you need just three make-up brushes – a smallish rounded dense eyeshadow brush that you can use to apply and blend your eye shadow. A medium sized flat blusher brush to apply your blusher and bronzer. And a larger fluffier brush to apply or remove excess powder.'<br /><i>David Scheffen at NARS</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">The right blush is the colour that your cheeks naturally turn when you exercise or blush. It’s important to find a colour that makes you look instantly healthy. The right blush should practically blend itself- otherwise you’ve chosen a colour that’s too dark or too bright.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">'</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Bobbi Brown</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />With highlighter the key is to go two shades lighter than your skin tone. Look for one with a hint of gold or pale pink if you have olive skin. If you are pale go for pearly white or white gold for maximum allure. Apply under your eyebrows, across the top of your cheekbones, on your cupid’s bow and a touch at the very inner corner of your eyes to brighten.'<br /><i>Petra Strand, founder of Pixi</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />To stop bronzing powders from appearing muddy or streaky on the face, first lightly dust a sheer translucent loose powder all over, this will ensure a smooth, even, longer lasting golden glow.'<br /><i>Chase Aston, International Make Up artist & Spokesperson The Body Shop</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i>'If you have time, define your lips with a bit of concealer first to highlight your lips, it will make the colour you choose pop more and enhance your lip shape.'<br /><i>David Scheffen at NARS</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i>To find the perfect pink lipstick to suit you, apply three vertical stripes of pinks on the lips, the one that is the closest match to your gums is the shade for you. For red lipstick do the same - three stripes - then smile the shade that makes your teeth appear whiter, is the red for you.'<br /><i>Chase Aston, International Make Up artist & Spokesperson The Body Shop</i></span><br />

If you are seeking for inspiration or do not know what exactly is 'in' this summer,I made a list of five fashion blogs to look through. In this era of 'everything internet'- fashion bloggers, in my opinion, are the ones who set most of the trends.<br />
