♥ Nail Polish Trends from bornprettystore.com ♥

Hello beauties!

Today I'd like to show you four new nail polishes that I got from   bornprettystore.com

I really like this web store because the prices of their products are very affordable, and I was always very pleased with the quality! They offer a vast range of beauty products, such as make up, nail art supplies, hair accessories and other accessories...

This time, I've decided to broaden up a bit (my already big!) nail polish collection, and I ordered four new shades of nail polishes. Two of them are ideal for winter/autumn/colder days, and two of them are fun, bright colours, ideal for spring/summer!

Here are my picks:









My personal favourites out of these four shades, are number 33 and 38! 
These nail polishes are very inexpensive (2.95$), they dry very quickly, and are very long lasting! Overall, I'm quite impressed!
I've picked out these four shades, but on the website, the colour selection is very, very big!It was actually quite difficult to make up my mind!
You can check out these nail polishes here!


Don't forget, you can have 10%OFF your purchase + FREE SHIPPING worldwide, with the following coupon code: SONJAK31

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector (Combination to Oily Skin) Review

Hello dolls!

The product that I've been using on my face for the last couple of months, as a part of my everyday make up routine, and instead of my daily moisturiser, foundation and compact powder, has been this awesome BB cream by Garnier!

After I've used up the regular version of Garnier BB cream (which was more than anything else, suitable for dry skin, plus the colour for me was way off...)based on a recommendation from one of my subbies, I got the same BB cream, but in a different formulation, for oily to combination skin, and I was finally able to get it in a shade suitable for my skin tone, which is light /clair.

I'm extremely pleased with this product, as it keeps my face shine free the whole day long, even when I'm working long hours, I don't feel the need to touch-up my make up!

Find out more about this product,and why it is so great, in my review video, here:




Garnier has come up with a BB cream ideal for oily/ combination skin type!
Non Comedogenic, oil- free texture, with ultra- absorbent perlite + mineral pigments, it'll stay on your face all day long, and provide a complete matte effect!



Miracle skin perfector for combination to oily skin, gives you the effect of immediately perfected skin:

- Anti- shine
- Blurs pores + imperfections
- Evens tone + boosts glow
- Moisturises
- SPF 20 UV Protection

Being a fair skin tone, I've chosen my BB cream in a shade light/clair.
Here is a swatch of it (I wasn't intending on the swatch to be so huuge, a tad bit too much of the product came out! ughh! lol)

I'm really satisfied with the colour, it matches my skin tone and evens it out nicely!
The container holds 40ml of the product, which is pretty decent amount and it'll last you several months, even when using it  on a daily basis!
This product is available in most drugstores and supermarkets and the retail price is around 8€.


Garnier Skin Naturals Products use, wherever possible, naturally derived active ingredients which have been carefully extracted to preserve their quality and purity.

Mineral pigments + ultra- absorbent perlite instantly mattify your skin, but it still looks luminous and more even.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and I would recommend it to whoever has oily/ combination, breakout prone skin and is looking for a nice, light product, non comedogenic, that is going to take care of your skin, making it appear even and better looking, keeping it mattified throughout the day!

I hope this review was helpful!

Avon Anew Clinical Derma- Full Lip Volumiser Review

Hi guys!

Today I'm reviewing the Avon's Anew Clinical Derma- Full lip volumiser, the product that I've had for a while now, but just recently started using it properly and I've been really enjoying the benefits of it!

To find out more about this product, please check out my review video, here:




Anew Clinical Lip Volumiser, for fuller, younger looking lips!

White cream that absorbs very quickly, it won't leave any white residues on your lips.
This volumiser will have a slightly burning sensation on your lips (nothing too painful, I promise!)
Make sure to moisturise your lips before / or after, applying this product, as this isn't a moisturiser and you'll need something to add moisture to your lips and prevent dryness!


Why does this product work so well?

Injectable- grade lip plumping in a topical treatment!
Avon's first lip treatment with injectable- grade filler, creates naturally fuller, younger- looking lips.

Specially formulated with injectable-grade hyaluronic acid, the same filler used by dermatologists.
Designed to stimulate collagen synthesis and boost skin's moisture to help visibly fill in lines and provide hours of fulness.


- Instantly, makes lips look and feel dramatically firmer and plumped.

- In 3 days, reduces the look of lip lines and creases.

- In 4 weeks, 83% of panelists showed an improvement in fine wrinkling (lips look years younger!)

Apply this product on your lips once daily for the best results!


As a result, you'll have a visibly fuller, plumped lips! :)
Avon products are available at your local Avon rep.
Find out where is your nearest rep. here!

I'm always trying out different lip moisturisers and lip volumisers (plumpers)! If you have any good product recommendation, leave me your comment! If you have any questions about this product, or any request for my future reviews, don't hesitate to contact me!

Thanks for stopping by!

BIG FASHION HAUL: Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, Bershka

Hello lovelies!

I have one massive fashion haul for you! :)
I went to some of my favourite stores, such as Pull & Bear, Stradivarius and Bershka and I got a whole bunch of things while they were still on sales (btw. I didn't get all this things all at once, but over the past month or two, while the sales were still going on!)

As usual, I thought I'd share this exciting haul with you, as I know it might serve you as an inspiration! (I personally enjoy watching fashion & beauty hauls, they always leave me full of new ideas!)


You can check out my fashion haul video here:
(Prepare yourselves, this is going to be a long one! So grab a cup of tea, relax in your sofas, and enjoy watching!)



New In:



On the clothes rack...
New additions to my wardrobe :)

Pretty lace T-shirt (that I got in a size L, for an oversized feel).
Leopard print scarf
All from Pull & Bear
Beautiful, Chanel style top from Pull & Bear

Detailing of the top

Golden studs as embellishments

Simple, blue skinny jeans (on sales for only 5.99€)
Pull & Bear
I really like Pull & Bear jeans and I already have several pairs of jeans from that store!

Just a few studded details around the pockets on my simple skinny jeans

Military style coat, reduced from 79.95€ to only 19.99€
This was such a steal!

Another military style coat, reduced from 79.95€ to 29.99€
This was the last one left, luckily it fit me well!

The last thing I got at Pull & Bear was this big, cross print scarf!
I was lucky to get this one on sale too, because I've been eyeing it ever since it first came in store!
This is such a trendy piece!

A few things that I got at Stradivarius:
A pair of leggings...

The front side is shiny, "pleather" like, and the back is just simple, cotton, black.

Another pair of leggings, shiny, black leopard print dots :)

These are so cool :)

In ♥ with this jacket from Stradivarius!
Real suede & black leather combo

This jacket is going to be great for spring time & a bit warmer days!

At Bershka I got a whole lot of cute camis & T-shirts...
They were all reduced to 2.99€
Nobody can beat that!

Star on the front, black lace on the back :)

White bat, dipped in paint...

Little golden studs as detailing on the bat print.

Another cute T-shirt

Interesting back detail

This T-shirt was a gift from my friend Stefania
(you met her in my vlogs!)

Cute "Angry Birds" T-shirt

One simple top from Bershka...

...with just three little studs on the back as an embellishment
Love this detailing, especially when I'm wearing my hair pulled up in a bun, or in a ponytail!

A bit more dressy, owl print blouse/top

Some warmer knittwear from Bershka, as outside is still quite cold!

Pink zebra ♥
I got this sweater in a size M, so it's longer and I can wear it with my leggings :)

Another great find at Bershka, this leather jacket, with burgundy & black details!
I ♥ it!
Soo pleased that I was able to grab this one on sales!
The retail price was quite high, as it's real leather...

Another warmer & larger sweater...I love the colours of it!

Chanel inspired jacket, but sporty version of it, with a hood!
(which you can remove, depending on the style you want to go for!)
Love the black leather detailing & some small studs too!


Mint green computer case & my new booties!
All from Bershka




I hope you liked this haul!
