Alma BB

Hi guys, I've got a new post for you on this beautiful Sunday morning! I'll show you what fits in my Alma BB and I'll do a small review. Let's get started:


I purchased this bag in August 2015 on one of my trips. The price at the time was 895€/7800NOK. It comes with a detachable strap (non adjustable) and a lock with 2 keys. The interior is red, although there are some Alma bags in Damier Ebene print with a burgundy interior. 

This is a not so nice presentation of what fits in this bag 😂

As you can see, there are some tissues, a snack and a juice box, my LV cles, a small pack of gum, hand sanitizer, lipstick and a pen. Not so many things there, but trust me, you can fit a lot more inside. I almost forgot, my phone fits nicely inside among all those things and there's still some space left so the bag doesn't look bulky once you zip it. 

Was this item worth the spent money? Absolutely. It's a perfect everyday bag; you can use it as a small bag when traveling by plane (you can fit your passport and travel documents, as well as your wallet), it's perfect for running some errands, you can use it for special occasions when you dress up, it's just such a versatile bag and it matches so many outfits. I've been using it quite a lot and I've been careful with it so there are still no scratches or signs of wear as the leather trims on Damier Ebene pieces are so durable. It's just such an amazing bag and it still has the same shape as when I purchased it (Alma bags tend to slightly change shape as they get used and they soften up, especially the vernis pieces). I almost forget to mention this bag has a small pocket inside which in my opinion can only serve as a slot for a credit card, ID or anything of that kind. That's also the place where they put the date code and it's quite difficult to see it as the pocket is very tight. This bag is most likely my best purchase so far and I would recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it. Hope you liked this post xoxo

Mini haul

Hi guys, today I'm coming at you with a short review of products I purchased last week from one of the Kiko Milano stores. 
I went there to check out their special 3 for 3 offer (buy 3 products, get 3 more for free), so here's what I bought:

This is the product I was most excited about:
This set costed 7,90€

The color is gorgeous (this particular color is called teal 679), but something about this nail polish just isn't right. The instructions on the box say you should apply 2 layers of the nail polish and then apply the top coat, but when I did that, the very next day it all peeled off as if I had a sticker on my nail. It seems to be too heavy, so the next time I applied just one layer before the top coat and so far it looks good. If I had to rate them, I'd give them a 7,5/10.


The next product I purchased was a creamy lipstick with a matching lip liner. Despite being creamy, once applied it becomes matte. It's quite long lasting (the longest I had it on without touching up was just over 5h). The lipstick number is 104 and the lip liner number is 700. They're a perfect match and they are worth the price (the lipstick was 8,90 and the pencil was 2,50€). The lipstick also has a very pleasant scent (reminds of chocolate). I'd give them both a 9,5/10.


Another product I got was a makeup remover. This one was specially created to remove eye and lip products. It's very mild and its scent isn't too strong. It's probably the best makeup remover I've used so far. I'd rate it 9/10. 
The price was 5,90€


The last two products are empties - travel size empty bottle and a box, something I always need when I travel, but somehow never managed to get it. 

They each costed 1,50€

This is it guys, hope you liked this post :)
