Hallo lovelies. Today is time for something different. I visited Split in Croatia last year, and for sure I will back this summer again. Have you visited Split? You must visit if you didn`t.
Split is the 2nd largest city in Croatia after Zagreb. Population counting around 180.000 people. Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area.
When you arrive in Split, the first thing you will see is the Split waterfront . It's beautiful promenade by the sea where you can have a coffee in one of many cafes lined up next to each other which are located along the entire promenade. You will see a large number of tourists from around the world.
I recommend you explore the city, because you will encounter small streets where there is a large number of beautiful tavern`s where you will be able to dine . I have to mention that the flowers are everywhere.
The food is excellent . The offer is perfect, from fresh fish and seafood , salads to great sandwiches that you can eat while you walk and explore the city.
In the city you will find a large number of markets where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables , and freshly caught fish .
Along the promenade there are stalls where you can find information about excursions that are in offer .
You can shop in Split in many local stores which offer a large selection of clothing , shoes and jewelry . On the streets at every step you can buy souvenirs. In addition , you can buy in several shopping malls that are located at different locations in the city.

On Hvar island growing a famous Agave tree that blossom once in 100 years and just bloomed when we visited this amazing island. Maybe this is luck :).
The beaches on Hvar are rocky and stony and extend along the entire promenade. You can choose one of them to refresh or you can choose pool in AMFORA hotel for 200kn (about 25 Euros).
Well, that`s it. Hope I helped you to know better about Split and Hvar. Have you visited those places?

Hallo lovelies! Long time no see. How is your day today?
It`s time for another one eye shadow palette review. You probobly heard about W7 in the night - UP IN SMOKE palette. First, for the price of about $9 (realy good value), this palette is amazing. Up in smoke offers 12 gorgeous shadow`s, 11 shimmer colors and one matte, dark gray in the end of palette.
Palette is perfect if you want to create a smokey eye`s look. Colors goes from All white to Pink shampagne, darker purple and various shades of gray. Pigmentation is great, but eye shadow`s are little dusty, as you can see on my palette :). Like I said, for the price that cost, this palette is pretty good.
Also, check swatches down below.
Have you tried this eye shadow palette?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!
XOXO.
