We all know that Christmas is not about wishing to receive tons and tons of gifts. But as any other human being, there are always stuff that we wish we could get. Here is my wishlist for this year and hopefully I may be able to score a few of them (all would be awesome!)
1. iPod Touch 5th generation 2. Charlotte Olympia Cat Face Slippers 3. Burgundy Velvet Skirt 4. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette 5. Gold Bow Bracelet What things are part of your wishlist? Pao
Hair is something that has always been really important for me. I have always loved long hair and the endless amount of different hairstyles that you can create with it. After some thought and some bravery I decided to visit the hair dresser and make her chop off my hair. I am so happy with the result, I seriously want to have it like this forever. I might even go shorter (I would never thought I would be saying those words). I seriously can't wait to show you different hairstyles and ways to do my new hair.
What do you think of it? Do you prefer long or short hair? Pao
This is one of those manicures that I just can't stop staring at. As you may know already these 2 nail polishes are part of my favorites. I decided to combine both together and the result was amazing. For me, they look like galaxy and out of this world nails. Hopefully you get to try this same manicure and share it with me!
Being a blogger allows me to be able to always try new things. I am always on the lookout for new, fun and innovative things. This weekend I got to try a very cool app that you can download for free to either your iphone or android phone. It is called, Best Decision App. Basically you just download it from the App store and it is a virtual store that first lets you pick what type of shopper you are (e.g., online, bargain, trendsetter, etc). Then it gives you some choices from different stores according to your previous likes. I personally got deals from: Walmart, Shopstyle and Amazon. It displayed some available products, ranging from beauty, fashion and home decor.
Since I am a beauty obsessed person, I decided to try some of the beauty products offered by Amazon. I was so pleased to find an amazing deal on some face brushes by the Shany Cosmetics brand. It is a set of 12 brushes, that personally looked amazing. I will be reviewing them as soon as I get them.
After browsing the app for different products and liking some of my favorites, I put some in my shopping cart and decided to check them out. The checkout process was very easy. It consisted of 3 easy steps: 1. Login to facebook 2. Add a credit card 3. Add your shipping address
After completing this easy process, I ended up getting an awesome deal on something I wanted and will be very useful. Prices are very decent and it really makes you want to buy everything. I seriously cannot wait to see what they have to offer during Black Friday. The app is really easy to navigate and they give you different tips and tutorials during the first steps. If I could change something about the app it would be not having to login to facebook. I think that may be a little bit annoying for some people, especially for people that are very private. Overall, I had a good experience with this App and feel very pleased on having been able to try it. This app will be very helpful for me during the Holidays. Christmas shopping can get hectic sometimes but with apps like this one, the process can be way easier. If you wish to get more information you can check their facebook page. Happy Shopping!

After searching on Pinterest for hours for cool nail Halloween ideas, I found a few. I decided to do a mixture of different designs and spice up my hand a little bit more. I went for the Frankenstein, candy corn and pumpkin designs.
Are you painting your nails with any specific design for Halloween? Pao
Happy Monday! I want to share two of my latest videos. I am really enjoying filming videos a lot. These are my two latest, one is about fashion and the other one about beauty. If you have a youtube account, make sure you subscribe so you can be able to watch more videos in the upcoming days! The fashion video is really appropriate for the Fall season.
Now that I am still celebrating my 1 year anniversary on Hippie Chic Pao, I decided to collect some of the best moments. It was so much fun to go back 1 year and think about all the things that I have done. Here are some of the best pictures for you to enjoy and remember with me!
Today my lovely blog turns 1 year old. Im completely happy and excited for this huge milestone in my life. I am 100% devoted to my blog. I put a lot of love and time to it. I want to thank everyone of my readers and followers. Thank you for taking the time of visiting me, commenting and just gathering some inspiration from me! Now its time to celebrate and enjoy life!
This new mascara that I purchased a few weeks ago is by Maybelline and is called, The Falsies Volume Express in black drama and it is also waterproof. I have used it for the last days and I am really pleased with it. My previous mascara was Covergirl Lash Blast and I completely loved it. I was hesitant about trying a new one, but I finally decided to give this one a try. I am in love with the results and on how it makes my lashes look.
Likes: - It makes my lashes look amazing - It adds volume as it claims, but it is also lengthening - It is very black - It is really waterproof, it lasts a long time in my lashes - With a good eye makeup remover it is very easy to take off - The curvy wand is perfect, it is easier to reach all my lashes with it Dislike: - It dries very fast, so you have to work it in your lashes very quickly
Overall, I really like it a lot! I recommend it to everyone, if you haven't tried it, go ahead and do it.
One of the best things of being a Sephora Beauty Insider is that every year during your birthday month you receive a special gift. They are kind enough to give you a lovely gift every year. I wish every store did the same! This year I was gifted with Fresh Sugar kisses, mini lip duo. I just have one word for them, AMAZING! They are more than I expected! I thought they will just be like a regular Chapstick or lip balm, but they really hydrate, protect and moisturize your lips for the longest time. They have a lemony scent and they don't have any taste in particular. Another plus, is that they have SPF 15, which protects your lips even more. One is clear and the other one is tinted. The tinted one is sugar rose and it gives your lips a beautiful light red color. I have been using them every day since I picked them up. Since I love them so much, once I run out of them, I will get a full size one. The full size one is about $25 dollars, but trust me it is worth every single dollar.
Happy August, July brought many positive and happy moments to my life. I wish that August is filled with good moments and experiences. For this weeks manicure I decided to go for bright colors. It is summer and you have to show it, because once its over we will want to bring it back. Lets take advantage of the last days of summer and enjoy them. In my opinion yellow is the brightest and most vivid color of all. I did the accent nail with my favorite glitter nail polish, previously seen here. I just cannot stop looking at my nails, I love the way they turned out!
Since my last manicure got so many compliments, I decided to do a very similar one. This time I went for the red and the silver, I wanted a touch of metallic polish on my nails and I really liked the way they turned out. I went for vertical and horizontal lines, switching from one finger to the other.
I know that biting your nails is a very bad habit and looks bad. It makes your hands look ugly and with an unattended appearance. My tip for stopping this habit is to have a good manicure. You may think this sounds weird, but the truth is that whenever I have my nails done, either by me or a professional it really prevents me from biting them. They look so pretty and perfect, that just knowing that biting them will ruin their look, prevents me from biting them. I hope this tip was helpful and that you take it into consideration.
I love the way wavy hair makes a woman look. For me it is the sexiest type of hair a woman can have. It just looks chic, effortless, pretty and sexy. I've been wearing my hair like this for the last couple of days and I am completely in love.
I just can't get enough of glitter nail polish, to me it is the perfect nail look for this season. It is very on trend, but at the same time it looks very girly and pretty. I decided to try a new glittery look with faded glitter throughout my nails. I concentrated more the glitter on the tip and worked it downwards. I tried not to cover the whole nail so that the effect could shine and distinguish. I used a beautiful silver glitter polish from Forever 21 and a base and top coat from OPI.
Now that Summer is here, I have been looking for a cute red or bright lipstick. I am not a big fan of lipsticks, since most of them tend to dry my lips. The other day when I was at Estee Lauder I bought some needed makeup and I ended up getting a free lipstick. I have to say I love it! It is super moisturizing, it doesn't dry up my lips and the color is just gorgeous. It is perfect for summer and I think it suits my skin tone. The color is Rubellite and I really recommend that if you stop by an Estee Lauder counter you ask for it, it is absolutely gorgeous.
