A DAY IN THE CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS

Eiffel Tower

Hello beautiful girls!!
This post is very special to me, because I am going to share with you my pictures from a beautiful day I spent in Paris *_*
And there will be a surprise at the end!!

Louvre Museum

The locations don't need an explanation, words wouldn't do them justice :)
I had already been many times in all of these places, but a city like Paris, you can never go enough times.
Each time, Paris will cast a new spell on you.

MY OUTFIT:
Dress from H&M: H&M France - H&M Italia - H&M España
Bag from Fendi
Shoes are Kathryn sandals from Aldo, you can see them up close here My Boho Glam OOTD Wearing Gisele's Dress

Moulin Rouge

MY MAKE UP:
L'Oreal Lumi Magique (True Match Lumi) foundation in DW3 Gold Linen, applied with my Real Techniques stippling brush

Mac Pro Longwear concealer in NC30

Clinique Line Smoothing concealer in 02 Light

Kiko False Lashes Concentrate Building Base mascara

L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara

Sleek Makeup Face Form in Medium for eyeshadow, contouring, bronzing and highlighting :-D

Mac Honeylove lipstick, one of my July favourites here July Favourites + Mac Dupe!
Maybelline Coffee Craze lipstick, another one of my July favourites - it is a little more sheer and glossy than Honeylove, so I applied it on top of it to give it more of a sheen

At night I went to the Eiffel Tower.

This was my first time being there at night, and seeing it all lit up against the black sky, under the moonlight.

Honestly, I have no words.

The most breathtaking and magnificent thing I have ever seen in my life.

As I walked out of Trocadero metro station, I will never forget the moment I saw what I saw.

I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk, I couldn't think. I could just stand and stare.

I doubt anything else I will see in my life will ever top that sight.

I don't even know for how long I stood there frozen, just staring.

Tour Eiffel

And as I evetually turned around to walk away, I suddenly heard everybody scream.

I turned back again and :-OOOOO

The Eiffel Tower had just been brought to life by thousands of sparkling lights like a Christmas tree.

The regular night lighting had been switched off and there were only the sparkling lights.

I learned this happens every night for 5 minutes every hour, on the hour.

I had no idea, I was so lucky to be there in that moment. We can say - the right person in the right place at the right hour!! :)

I recorded a video of it to share with you guys :)

I can't upload it on here but it's on my Instagram, so if you haven't seen it yet please go to @mjintheskywithglitter !

And now the surprise I promised you ^_^

My girl @bali_wanderlust (Instagram name) has posted my interview on her blog, featuring me as her #TOTD (Traveler Of The Day), her new project!!

She's amazing and I am a long time follower of her Instagram and blog, I was so touched when she asked me if she could feature me <3

ORANGE SUNSET IN ATHENS OOTD & MOTD

Hello beautiful friends,
today I have a bright hot summer look to share with you!!

Top from Mango
Skirt from Zara
Bag from H&M: H&M UK - H&M USA - H&M France - H&M Deutschland - H&M Italia - H&M Danmark - H&M Nederland -H&M Sverige - H&M Россия - H&M España - H&M Ελλάδα - H&M Canada - H&M Australia
Rings from H&M

This outfit took me from the morning into the night, all through the sunset.

And to enjoy the sunset at it most beautiful in Athens - and take pictures to share with you guys on Instagam @mjintheskywithglitter of course!! ^_^ -, I went to A for Athens cocktail bar.
It is a very trendy bar on the rooftop of A for Athens hotel, above Monastiraki Square, just opposite to the Acropolis.
And being there sipping on a "Cappuccino Freddo" or a cocktail, while the sun goes down and turns the Acropolis and the Parthenon pink, and then peach, and then orange, is hands down the most beautiful thing in Athens after the Parthenon itself.
You can see more on their website A for Athens
 

And several people offered to help and take a picture of me, but while I appeared to politely decline, I was in fact thinking like - Oh you don't even understand, you never heard of selfies or what :-/

Now if you noticed a difference in my lip make up from morning to sunset, yes something changed during the day!!
I started out wearing my Kiko Breezy Shine lipgloss in 03 Geranium, from their Sportproof Active Collection.
I honestly have no idea if it's sportproof because I wouldn't play a sport to save my life, but I can say for sure that it's the most gorgeous bright true orange, with gold shimmer.
For being a lipgloss, its pigmentation is extraordinary, and as always with Kiko lipglosses, I love its texture and how it feels on the lips.
It is longlasting and has a delicate mint flavour.

But after visiting the Flormar store in Monastiraki Square, I was quick to bag their new Twist Up Lipstick in 12 Orange!!
Can you see how pigmented that is?? That's more like wall paint than make up!!
And sooo creamy like butter, what an amazing formula, I'm already considering getting a couple more shades!!

So yeah, before walking into A for Athens I touched up my make up and applied Flormar Orange, with Kiko Geranium on top for that extra vinyl shine ^_^

My sunglasses are from H&M.

Girls I hope you enjoyed this post!

A big kiss to you wherever you are :)
