I like to buy stuff, did ya know that?

I think it's pretty much obvious so far that I like to buy stuff. A lot. Which is not always good, especially when your parents pay for it. I pity my poor parents I really do. But I can't help it. It's like they're calling for me! (By they I mean cosmetics, clothes, shoes etc.) So I have come up with a new excuse lately that makes me feel better whenever a buy stuff. Shopping online! I mean since I am not going out of the house using actual money then it's not considering shopping, right? Right? So I can shop with almsot no guilt. Plus, if you really think about what I'm bying they're more of an investement aren't they? I'm just expanding my newly started collection.  :-/
Anyway here's what'll buy tomorrow. 


I never had a highlighter!

Smokey eye collection. : D

A nice palette I really like.

Plus a NYX jumbo pencil in cottage cheese, and two round lipsticks in Hebe and Hades! There's no way I'm not getting something that's called Hades!
As you can see I really Like NYX. They're cheap, good quality and cruelty free!! Some of their palettes I had ordered a while back arrived today so I'll do some swatches sometime soon and even maybe a tutorial. Anyway kisses and huggies,

The scary side of Christmas

{[Monster F+V]
 Tell us what's the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the word Christmas?A beautiful Christmas tree? Presents? Roasted candy and stuffed turkey? Muaaaahhh! (Evil laugh) How innocent you all are. What if there is actually a dark side to this celebration, a dark side that we all choose to ignore?
  Santa for example. Why is he so fat? And why is his costume red? What does the color symbolize? And what is his long, white beard covering? Ha ha ha. Are you scared? (Probably not) Well then...

Are you scared now?








This may be a silly post but this picture triggered questions in our heads about the real side of Christmas and especially Santa Claus. Or should we say...Sandy Claws?

Muaaah,
The Monsters

New Lancome holiday sets: Don't you want them all?

[Monster V]
I was poking around the Net when suddenly came across these babies: Holiday sets from Lancome. I've never told you before but Lancome is my favorite high-brand ever. I've read they do not test on animals but some rumors have been around that they actual do so I'm not sure if I'll actually buy anything, but..a girl can dream right?

So here they are!

This one is more on the neutral side except for the pastel blue. Nice but not my thing.

Now this me likey, but I was never brave enough to wear this much purple. Looks cool though.

This one I would buy. Hell, this one I want to buy.

This last one is completely neutral so I love it as well. If I actually get one I'd probably choose this because again I'm too much of a chicken to wear black smokie.

All of this palettes are said to be of 78$ worth but their price 39.50$ which pretty good deal.Plus I'm a sucker for nice packaging.
Lancome also has Holiday brushes gift set and I like this one:

I would love to get this BUT the bristles are natural so it is definitely a no-no for me. But not all people mind so.It is of 147$ worth and costs 59$.


This was my post for the day, I hope you got some gift ideas for you or your friends. Be prepared for Christmas stuff overload --Monster F told me that she'll post recipes, play lists etc in the near future. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Kisses and huggies,

Monster V

Psst! My not-so-secret-anymore Chrismas wishlist!

So like every year, each one of us has his/her own dream list of presents to buy or to be given. Here is mine! Beware! It's kinda long.


1.Storm I-divine palette.
 I will be definitely getting this. Besides being dirt cheap (8.50 for 12 shades!) I think the colors are quite nice and usable. Not really loving the waffl-y texture of it but whatevah. It's 8.50 $!

2.Urban Decay Vegan palette.
Now at 26.00 euro this palette is far from cheap but it's cruelty free, has lovely colors and packaging. Definitely getting this as
well.

3.Urban Decay Naked palette.
Although I really want this palette my usual online shopping sites don't have it. So I'll probably be getting this sometime on summer after my exams are done.

4. Babyliss Pro Porcelain Conical Wand


OMG it's a pink hair curler. Enough said. Must have. :)

5.Victoria's Secret Flannel PJs
It has bunnies on! I love these PJs and I'm really excited I can choose a longer bottom. Yet the shipping at the VS online store is 30$. Not excited about that. Not really sure I'll get them -the shipping puts me off.


























 6.Too faced Naked palette and their concealer.






I love animal friendly companies so for me this Too Faced's  palette is amazing. I'm definitely getting it. And I need a concealer.
















































 7?Yeah 7. This is not something I can show you but I'd like to shop some more sweaters, knits and dresses. Probably at H&M.


My wish list is over! I'd love to know what your's is --if you want tell me in the comments section.


Kisses n' huggies,














PS: In case you were wondering Monster F made a post in our mother tongue Greek down below :)
PS2:I don't know why it has effing white spaces in between. Maybe Santa is punishing me for being greedy.
