Glowbox: May

Most of you are probably aware of the beauty boxes that have become a trend in blogs/vlogs etc.. Personally I love make up stuff and thought that beauty boxes are a good idea to have some extra beauty stuff every month, plus they cost only like 12 or 14 euros per month!

I've seen in many blogs various beauty boxes, the first I got to know was actually a beauty bag, my glam by ipsy and I was so excited, I immediately hit the "buy" option, but unfortunately there was no international shipping. And since I live in Greece, I couldnt buy either Glossybox, or Birchbox or any other boxes as they didnt have international shipping as an option.

I was searching for a beauty box "company" that could finally ship in Greece, till I found that THERE ARE such companies in Greece too! So I did another mini reserach, and I decided that Glowbox was the best of them all (between the 3 or 4 beauty boxes that exist in Greece :p)

The Glowbox of May was dedicated in Freshline (take a look at their site!), a greek label that produces -as they refer- fresh, handmade cosmetics. I knew this label but I had never tried any of their cosmetics, so this was a good chance for me to give them a try. I have to admit that all of the products were amazing, and smell fantastic! My box contained 5 pieces: 

the box with its cover paper, a beautiful photo of some greek island (Santorini? who knows :p)

how the products looked like when I opened the box!

ERATO, an amazing solid shampoo that smells so so so nice! loved it

HEPHAESTUS, a shimmering bronzing butter, which, to be honest,
I havent tried yet due to the weather, but I certainly will in the summer :)

NECTAR, a facial serum that is really good for the face, although the smell was not amazing, but ok :p

GALATEA, a body splash with coconut and almond. SMELLS AMAZING!
I love to spray some to my body before I leave home! it smells like summer !

GALATEA, a nourishing body milk with organic coconut oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil,
vanilla and marshmallow, -even from its ingredients sounds perfect!
it makes skin so soft and smells so good!

And a quote from their site:
"..inspired by the ancient greek wisdom of botany and aromatherapy, we create unique and effective cosmetic products with fresh, organic and safe ingredients from earth and nature.."

So that was it for now :) Have you ever subscribed in any beauty box, and, did you like it? :)
see you in my next post xx

The Introduction.

Hello everyone! This is the very first post that im writing in this blog, and I hope it will go well :) I've tried to make a blog in the past but due to school, exams, millions of lessons and no free time, I failed on making posts often, and I also had no ideas or inspiration. -or a camera to take photos, and that was the main "reason" to keep me from having a blog, a NIKON! (i found photographs from mobile phones terrible and unsuitable for a blog). So, once my dream came true, im starting a blog! yay!

The Introduction
As you will find out yourseleves on the next posts, I love taking photographs with my beloved NikonD3100. I also love fashion (so so much!) and of course shopping (I work in the centre of Athens so, I have no other choice than to go window shopping-or shopping- at least 5 times a week! haha ).
And now that i mentioned my job, let me reveal one more clue about my life. I am currently working at Starbucks, my faaavourite place in the world from when I was like 13 years old! (I was even making a collection of Starbucks sleeves and cups, haha!)
Last but not least, I love beauty and make up stuff and evrything, and also, this is the subject that I study in my University, and it is called Aesthetics. (I really dont know if that field exists in other countries).

So that was a liiittle tiny piece of information about my life, more is yet to come! I really hope youre gonna like my blog and keep up with the new posts and everything! The purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts, ideas and pictures ( :D) with you, and exchange tips and comments with the rest of the bloggers and non bloggers!

And now, im gonna put some pictures of my life below, for an extra visual introduction of myself  :)
