3 WINTER MAKEUP LOOKS PERFECT FOR ME

Hello ladies,

It’s such a beautiful day where I live. It’s sunny and quite warm even though it’s winter. Winter, as you all already know, is one of my least favourite seasons of the year, but I have to admit that I love different makeup looks when it comes to this time of the year. I can finally get out my darker shades of lipsticks and just experiment with them more. So for today’s post I want to show my 3 favourite makeup looks for winter. I have to tell you that they are the easiest makeup looks you’ll ever see because I don’t like to complicate things. I like to try new things of course but I don’t want it to take up a lot of my time. Yeah I’m a fussy person like that.

The 3 looks that you’ll see today are definitely something I wear on daily basis. I love to wake up in the morning and already know what I’m going to do to my face. Biggest focus is definitely on the lips. I am obsessed with wearing dark lipstick. I believe it makes the whole makeup look more fresh and sophisticated.


The first makeup look is called ‘’Dark Lips’’. For my eyes I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette. I chose the darker shades in it. For the base I chose the colour Chocolate Cookie, for the crease I took Strapless and for the outer corner of the eye I opted for the mix of Risqué and Sexspresso. You can tell that the eyes are still quite nude, but I chose darker shades. The main focus is definitely the lips. I outlined my lips with a lip liner from S-he in the shade 003 and the lipstick is by Misslyn in the shade 119. I am obsessed with this colour, but I also like to switch this colour with the one by Mac in the shade A45 and it is called Quelle surprise. These two lipsticks are definitely my favourite berry shades. I sometimes like to add a thin eyeliner just to emphasize the eyes a bit.


The next one is called ‘’Bold Eyeliner’’. I must admit that I’m not very good when it comes to applying the eyeliner. I can never get it right. But for the last 3 months I’ve been practicing and I think I am getting the hang of it. When I wear eyeliner I don’t usually do much because I love when the focus is on the eyes. I do a bit of contouring because that I always do and then I add a nude lipstick. I contoured my face with Prime and Fine Contouring palette by Catrice in the shade Ashy radiance. On my lips I have a lip crayon Matt Lip Artist also by Catrice in the shade Best ROSEbuddies Forever. Lastly on my eyes I have a combination of two eyeliners which are Eye matic’ Dip Liner by Catrice (waterproof) in the shade Stay With Me and Eyeliner Pen by Essence (waterproof).


The last look for today is called ‘’Classic Red’’. I cannot have a makeup look that does not involve a classic red lipstick. I’ve always been a fan of them and I can never get enough of it. For this look I like to put something on my eyes as well as on my lips. Again I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette, but I opted for lighter shades.  For the base I took the shade Honey Butter, for the crease I took Nudie and for the outer corner of the eye I have a mix of Chocolate Cookie and Strapless. I blended all out as much as I could and that’s that. Of course I contoured and everything and the last step are my lips. I wore a lip liner by S-he in the shade 004 and a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 107. That is my look completed.

Let me know what your go-to makeup look is for winter. Hope you liked this post. Comment your thoughts below and I’ll see you soon.

If you have any questions about the products let me know in the comments below and I'll answer to you as soon as possible.

LA ROCHE-POSAY: EFFACLAR DUO +


Another beauty post for you guys :)

I may be listening to Michael Buble’s Christmas album and thinking about Christmas. It will soon be here so I’m definitely allowed to start listening all of the Christmas songs. It also got really chilly here where I live so I guess autumn is over which makes me sad because no more vibrant colours and warmer days. Now all I can expect are those grey days-who wants that? I just want snow and high temperatures, but that’s not possible so I’m stuck with what we have here (sad and angry at the same time).

I have to admit that with these colder days I definitely use more products for my body. The cold makes my skin so dry and dull. I love discovering new hand and face creams. I definitely need a good face cream to be honest, because my makeup game has to be strong 365 days a year hehe and winter is no exception. I feel my skin dries out quicker in winter so I always need a good base for my makeup. So today I want to share with you a new face cream that I recently received. It is by La Roche-Posay called Effaclar Duo +.

This cream is mainly targeted for people, who have marks on their skin from acne, for oily skin, it controls the appearance of shine, unclogs pores and many other things. My skin is definitely acne prone skin so I was really glad I got this in my hands because I am always on the hunt for new creams to cure my acne. I also have a lot of scars and redness on my face because of that, so I thought this would be a great product for me. I have to point out that with this product I wanted to see if it would be good as a base for my makeup.

When I first applied it on my face, I realised that little goes a long way. I didn’t have to use a big amount of it at all. The cream was so easy to apply with my fingers and it felt so smooth. It does have a slight tint to it but if I can work with it, everyone else can too. When I smeared it all over my face, I saw that it definitely had colour in it but it didn’t contradict my skin tone. Bear in mind that my skin is very light and almost none of the shades suit me but this one did its job.

When I let it dry, I applied my makeup. The whole makeup was really nice. I didn’t have any problems applying it on, the cream was absorbed quickly and it left no shine after it. Also my makeup stayed on for quite some time without me having to correct it. Still I have to admit that after some time I was a bit shiny on my T-zone. It wasn’t too drastic or anything but I still reached for my compact powder to mattify it.

The cream itself is very nice. It feels very light on your face, it absorbs quickly and if you don’t feel like wearing full on makeup that day, you can definitely get away with just this cream, concealer and a mascara and you’ll look great.

Regarding other effects that it says it has on your skin, I can’t just say it yet. I haven’t used the cream for that long to see any changes and to be honest I mainly wanted to see how it works as a makeup base because it is very moisturizing and therefore perfect for winter. It does say you have to use it daily to see the results but I didn’t. If you want me to test it for the reasons stated above, just let me know in the comments.

All in all this product is really good and in my opinion perfect for winter time. Have you tried any of the La Roche-Posay products? If you did, let me know in the comments below so I can check them out.

Where to get it: Worldwide

                          Slovenia

                          I also saw you can get it in Boots and other Drugstores/pharmacies.

Talk to you soon. Bye

AVON QUICK DRY NAIL SPRAY REVIEW


I just hate applying nailpolish. I mean I love it when it's already on and dry and perfect but I hate the part where I have to wait for it to dry. You could say that is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to nails. I am just not a patient person. Although it is true that I always get so excited when I buy myself a new nailpolish and I apply it on perfectly but then I magically ruin it. I just don't get it. You put so much effort in it for nothing? Just because of that I don't apply nailpolishes as much as I would want them to. Untill now.

I recently received this life-saving product by Avon. When I saw this, I almost died. It's the Avon Nail Experts Liquid Freeze aka quick dry nail spray. I immediately thought to myself that if this works, I'm going to change the colour of my nails every single day.

This product is supposed to instantly dry your nailpolish when you apply it. You just spray over it and wait a few seconds and you're good to go. Of course I couldn't believe a product like this existed. I mean I spent years struggling to get my nails dry as quick as possible, and now there's this product that supposedly dries your nails in a second? I had to test this right away. I took the nearest nailpolish I had and I immediately began the test. I was patient (for a change), I applied the nailpolish on perfectly and then the moment of truth… I took Avon spray and I sprayed it on every nail and that was it. I said to myself: '' I should probably wait a minute just in case it doesn't work.'' After 30 seconds I touched my nails and OMG! The nailpolish was completely dry guys. I couldn't believe this. I pressed it really hard to see if there were fingerprints on it but NO. Completely dry.

I have to say I am amazed by this product. It's a blessing for my nails *wink*. I did apply only one coat because that is all I needed. I will definitely test the product if I apply a thicker coat because a lot of my nailpolishes need 2 coats. Still I can't get  over this product. It saves the day. If you're running late or don't have time to dry your nailpolish, you just use this and voila. Just amazing. The content is clear and it is oil-based but it goes off of your fingers easily-you just use a paper towel and rub it off. It also has a certain smell but nothing overwhelming. It doesn't smell bad or anything.

If you're anything like me and you don't have the patience to wait for your nailpolish to dry, then you definitely need to try this product. It will change your whole perspective on nails, I promise. I can't believe I lived without this product for so many years. Thank god I found it and thanks to Avon for giving it. I really hope you liked this review. Let me know if you like doing your nails and how do you dry them as fast as possible. Now excuse me while I go and change the colour of my nails *hehe*

Jaz res sovražim mazanje nohtov. Seveda mi je super, ko je lak že gor in suh, ampak tisti del, ko moram čakati, da se posuši je pa naravnost neznosen. Je pa res, da obožujem kupovanje novih lakov in ko si ga naneseš na nohte in potem kar od enkrat vidiš, da si si uničil noht ker nisi bil dovolj potrpežljiv. Sovražim, ko se mi to zgodi. Toliko truda za nič. Do zdaj punce.

Pred kratkim sem prejela izdelek od Avon. Ko sem zagledala kaj je sem bila zelo presenečena. Izdelek se imenuje Avon Nail Experts Liquid Freeze - sprej za hitro sušenje laka. Takoj sem pomislila, da če ta izdelek deluje, potem bom vsak dan menjala lak na nohtih.

Na embalaži piše, da naj bi izdelek takoj posušil lak, ko si ga naneseš. Samo našpricaš ga čez nohte in to je to. Sploh nisem mogla verjeti, da kaj takega obstaja (po pravici nikoli nisem pomislila, da bi lahko to obstajalo). Seveda sem to mogla takoj stestirati. Vzela sem najbližji lak in sem ga takoj začela nanašati na nohte. Za spremembo sem bila potrpežljiva in pazljiva. Ko sem končala sem vzela ta sprej in ga pošpricala po nohtih. Nato sem si rekla, da bom raje počakala kakšno minuto, za vsak primer, če potrebuje več časa. Po tridesetih sekundah, me je neučakanost premagala – morala sem se dotakniti laka. OMG! Lak je bil popolnoma suh, res nisem mogla verjeti svojem očem.

Moram priznati, da že zelo dolgo nisem bila navdušena nad kakšnim produktom, kot sem bila nad tem. To je naravnost popolno za moje nohte. Res je, da sem nanesla samo 1 sloj laka, ker več ni bilo potrebno. Bom pa seveda preizkusila izdelek, če nanesem debelejši sloj, saj moram pri večini mojih lakov nanesti 2 sloja. Vsebina izdelka je prozorna in ko našpricaš lahko vidiš, da je na oljni bazi narejena, kar ni noben problem saj gre takoj dol ko obrišeš. Nek vonj ima vendar ni močan. Definitivno se tale izdelek splača, še posebej, če nimate časa, da se lak posuši ali pa pač niste potrpežljivi. Tako kot jaz upss. Nanašanje laka bo čisto nova izkušnja, ker ne boste rabili paziti na to, da je minilo dovolj časa odkar ste ga nanesli. Sama sem res vesela, da je Avon podaril ta izdelek, ker bo sedaj vse drugače, ko bom nanašala lak. Nič več skrbi, da bom popacala nohte in nič več skrbi, da bom pozna kam zaradi tega, ker se mi nohti še vedno niso posušili.

Povej mi ali se ti rada ukvarjaš s svojimi noht in ali imaš kakšen pripomoček, ki ti olajša delo? Do naslednjič. Čau

Ps.: grem iskat nov lak, da si ga namažem :D

Trend It Up | DM


Hello lovelies. Today I want to talk about a new drugstore brand called Trend It Up and can be found in DM drugstores. It is a german store so I think you can only get it in Europe. I was inspired to do something like this because I recently received a little package that consisted of a liquid lipstick and a nailpolish from this brand. Trend It Up came to Slovenia in September so it's a relatively new thing. So because I got these two products I decided I want to go to the store and get myself 3 new products and write a review about it because it is a very afordable brand that I think everyone should check it out.
In total I have 4 different products to share with you: Double Volume & Shine Nailpolish (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), 2 Ultra Matte Lipcreams ( 080, 085) and an eyeshadow palette called The Colors Selection (020). I will start with an eyeshadow palette because it just looks amazing.

Zdravo punce. Danes sem se odločila, da vam bom predstavila novo znamko, ki jo lahko najdeš v DM drogeriji. Znamka je v Slovenijo prišla septembra, tako da je dokaj nova zadeva. Tole objavo pišem, ker sem pred kratkim dobila 2 njihova izdelka na Beauty  Bloggers Meet Up, in sicer en lep lak in pa tekočo šminko. Odločila sem se, da grem kupiti še kakšen izdelek in na koncu sem prišla domov s 3 novimi izdelki iste znamke. Tale znamka je res poceni in zaradi tega se mi zdi, da bi si jo morala ogledati vsaka punca, ki jo zanima nekaj novega.
Torej vse skupaj imam 4 različne izdelke, ki jih bom danes delila z vami, in sicer: Double Volume & Shine lak (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), dve Ultra Matte Lipcreams (080, 085) in pa paleta za oči,, ki se imenuje The Colors Selection (020). Začnimo kar s paletko, ker je res prečudovita.


The palette consists of 6 shades which are more purply and dark. It's a combination of mattes and shimmers so I think it's perfect for both day and night looks. I really like the purple shades for autumn and winter and that is why I chose this palette. There are 3 different palettes in total. It comes with a small two-sided brush so you can use it for travelling. I swatched the shades on the back of my hand and I was really impressed with pigmentation. It si really good. The shades are easy to blend but are a bit more powdery so you will definitely want to tap away the excess product. The range of colours is great because you have shades for the crease, for the whole eyelid and for the inner eye corner. It's just great. I also really like the size of it because you can take it anywhere with you. I can see myself using this palette a lot in winter (and Maja's also liking it hihi).

V paletki imamo vse skupaj 6 senčk, ki so bolj vijolične in temne in so mat in bleščeče, tako da lahko definitivno ustvariš večerni in dnevni look. Vijolični odtenki so mi res super za jesen in zimo in zato sem jo tudi izbrala, na sploh pa lahko izbiraš med 3 različnimi paletami. Zdi se mi super za potovanja saj zraven dobiš tudi dvostranski čopič in pa, ker je majhne velikosti. Pigmentacijo senčk sem stestirala kar na roki in moram priznati, da sem bila res navdušena. Barve so res močne je pa res, da ko nanašaš senčke na veke moraš čopič otresti, ker dobiš kar precej produkta na čopič. Zelo lepo se razmaže in med seboj se barve super dopolnjujejo. Všeč mi je, da so notri od temnih barv do svetlih barv. Paletko res priporočam vsem, ker ima res vse tisto kar rabiš in ni ti potrebno zapraviti ne vem koliko denarja zanjo (še moja sestra je nad njo čisto navdušena hihi).


Moving on with the lipgloss and lipcreams. Lipgloss didn't impress me very much. I mean it is great and it apllies nicely but it's nothing special. It's not very pigmented so you can wear it every day and it's not very sticky so that is a big plus. As for the lipcreams I do have some pros & cons. First of all the shades are amazing. You have a big selection of lipcreams and I love all of them. I have a deep red shade(080) and a stunning plumb shade (085). The pigmentation is stunning and the application is great although I would definitely recommend using a lip pencil with it because you'll apply it 100 times easier-I had some struggles with the red one when I was applying it because I couldn't be as precise as I wanted to be. It would be easier if I applied the lip pencil first. Also when you apply it, it won't dry completely which for me is good because you won't be left there with dry lips and your lips will look more healthy. All in all they're great but I do have one negative thing to say and that is they transfer and because they transfer the aren't as longlasting as I would want them to be and you have to re-apply it. That is everything I have to say about the lipcreams. They're amazing and I will definitely keep using them because I like the texture of it and they are so affordable.


Naslednji produkt sta lipglos in tekoča šminka. Lipglos me ni nekaj navdušil, ampak tudi ni slab. V sebi ima nekaj pigmentacije, ampak nič pretiranega, tako da ga lahko nosiš vsak dan. Tudi ni lepljiv, tako da te ne moti ko je na ustnicah. Glede tekoče šminke pa imam nekaj besed več. Že takoj lahko povem, da sem nad njimi navdušena. Odtenki so res izjemni. Jaz imam dva in sicer rdeča (080) in pa odtenek slive oziroma malo bolj svetla. Pigmentacija je na vrhuncu punce. Zelo bi priporočala, da jih uporabite s svinčnikom za ustnice, ker bo s tem nanos veliko lažji. Jaz ga nisem uporabila in sem pri rdeči šminki naredila manjši nered na ustnicah (upss). Ko šminko naneseš se ta ne posuši v celoti, kar je dobro saj se ti ustnice potem ne izsušijo in zgledajo bolj zdravo. Edina stvar, ki me moti pa je da pušča odtis. Sicer me to res ne moti, ampak zaradi tega sem morala šminko nekajkrat na novo nanesti. Priznam, da me to sploh ni zmotilo, tako da sem z njimi navdušena. Definitivno priporočam njihove mat šminke, ker so res dobre + poceni so – popolna kombinacija.


The last product I will talk about it is their nailpolish. Again they have a big selection of colours so you'll definitely find something for yourself. I got this dark purple-ish colour and it's perfect for autumn. I was really impressed by it. You only have to apply one coat of it and it's done. You don't have to use 2 coats and that is something I'm super excited about. I didn't use the base coat or a top coat and it's holding out just fine. I did just wash the dishes and I can see that it chipped a little at the end which is to be expected actually, but if you use the top coat I think you'll be fine. All in all it is a nice nailpolish and the best thing about it is that you don't have to use 2 coats.

Zadnji izdelek pa je tale lak. Izbira lakov je res velika, tako da sem prepričana, da se za vsako nekaj najde. Moj je zopet bolj temen, bordo rdeč. Ko sem ga nanesla, sem takoj videla, da bom rabila samo 1 nanos, ker je tako zelo prekriven. Sploh ne rabiš 2 sloja. Definitivno je to največji plus pri tem laku. Pri nanosu nisem uporabila niti podlak niti nadlak. Malo prej sem pomila posodo in se na koncih malo vidi, da se je odluščil, ampak ne veliko. Prepričana sem, da do tega ni bi prišlo, če bi uporabila še nadlak. Lak je super ampak najbolj me je navdušila njegova prekrivnost jeeeej.

Trend It Up is a brand I will keep checking out because it made a good impression on me and I can't wait to go back and maybe get some face makeup- foundation, blush etc. Let me know if you know this brand and what you think of it. Have a great day.

Trend it up je definitivno znamka, ki jo bom še spremljala. Zelo me zanimajo še ličila za obraz-puder, rdečilo,... Je kdo že preizkusil njihove izdelke? Kaj si mislite o njih? Do naslednjič. Čauu

L'occitane Arlesienne


SLO:

Lepotne objave so zmeraj bile moja šibka točka. Seveda sem jih nekaj že napisala, vendar vsakič ko začnem pisati novo, postanem malo živčna, ker ne vem kako bo izpadlo in ali bo v njej dovolj potrebnih informacij. Seveda nisem mojstrica na tem področju, ampak rada testiram nove stvari. Mislim da vsaka punca komaj čaka da poseže po novih izdelkih, še posebej, če je to L'occitane.

Pred kratkim sem prejela 2 nova produkta od L'occitanove nove linije, ki se imenuje Arlesienne. Dobila sem glos za ustnice in pa seveda njihovo znano kremo za roke. Takoj prvi vtisi, ko sem preizkusila oba izdelka, so bili osredotočeni na vonj. Resnično ne vem kako jim zmeraj uspe narediti tako dobre vonjave. Kadarkoli preizkusim kakšen njihov izdelek, me vonj zmeraj premami. Po pravici povedano nisem nikoli bila obsedena z raznimi parfumi ali pa naparfumiranimi izdelki, ampak pri L'occitanu pa komaj čakam, da zavoham kaj novega.

Prvi produkt, ki sem ga preizkusila je bil glos za ustnice. Sama nisem nikoli imela njihov glos, saj sem zmeraj imela oči samo za njihovo kremo za roke. Vsakokrat, ko si jo nanesem, se moje roke počutijo, kot da so v nebesih hihi. Kar se tiče glosa, nisem imela kakršnih koli pričakovanj, ker, kot sem že rekla, nimam z njim veliko izkušenj. Ko sem si ga nanesla, se je zdel zelo nežen. Seveda te vonj takoj premami ampak sem takoj tudi opazila, da ni lepljiv ali kaj podobnega. Podoben je balzamu za ustnice z manjšimi dodatki, kot te, da ima sijaj in da je v njemu tudi malo pigmenta, ki pa vsekakor ni vpadljiv. Izdelek je res super in se mi celo zdi fajn za zimske dni, ki so praktično že tu, da malo popestrijo ustnice. Glede zdravilnega učinka pa ne morem komentirati, ker ga na ta način nisem testirala. Glede na to, da je to prvi izdelek za ustnice, ki sem ga probala od L'occitana, sem bila zelo pozitivno presenečena.

O kremi pa res nimam kaj dosti novega za povedati. Zmeraj sem bila nora nanje in nikoli nisem imela z njimi slabih izkušenj. Vsakič, ko jo nanesem na roke se sprašujem kako jim uspe narediti tako mehko kremo. Res izjemno. Zdijo se mi tudi zelo primerne za zimo, saj res navlažijo roke in jih pustijo mehke. Seveda je tu vonj dodaten bonus, tako da s tem res ne morete zgrešiti. Krema je res top in mislim, da bo všeč tudi tebi, ko jo preizkusiš.

Hotela sem ti tudi pokazati majhen DIY, ki sem ga naredila s tem luškanim trakcem od L'occitana. Povabili so me, da nekaj z njim ustvarim in ker rada delam razne frizurce, sem se odločila, da ga vpeljem v frizuro (z manjšo pomočjo moje mame). Sama nisem nikoli ustvarjala s trakovi, tako da je to moja prva izkušnja. Upam da vam bo všeč.

P.S.: Ta kolekcija izide v Sloveniji 3. novembra. Imeli bodo tudi mleko za telo, milo za roke, parfum, gel za prhanje ipd. Če si z L'occitanom obsedena tako kot jaz, potem ne pozabi pokukati v njihovo trgovino in preizkusiti nekaj novega.

ENG:

Beauty posts are definitely something I'm not most comfortable with. I've done some of it in the past of course, but every time I prepare myself to do a new one I always freak out a little bit inside me because I never know if it's going to turn out okay. I'm not an expert when it comes to beauty but I do love to test different  things out. I'm a girl, of course I want to try a new lipstick, eyeshadow palette or in this case a new range from L'occitane called Arlesienne.

I had an opportunity  to recieve 2 of the products from L'occitane's new line. I received a lipgloss called Delicious gloss and their famous Velvet hand cream. When I first tried both of the products I was of course immediately amazed by the scent. I don't know how but L'occitane never fails to amaze me with their scents. Whenever I try any product of theirs,, I'm instantly blown away by the smell of it. To be honest I was never a big freak when it comes to scented things, but with this brand I never mind the different fragrances.

So as I was saying I received their gloss which I never actually tried before. I always went for their hand creams because they're an absolute dream and my hands always feel so smooth when I apply it on. I didn't expect much from the gloss because I didn't know if it's any good. When I applied it on my lips it felt really smooth. Of course the scent was there and I loved it, but it also wasn't sticky or anything. It felt like some sort of a lipbalm and it also added a little shine to your lips which is a bonus definitely. I also noticed that it did have a tiny bit of pigmentation in it but nothing serious. In my opinion it is similar to lipbalm. Although I cannot tell if it has a protective effect because I hadn't tried it in that way. All in all I liked this product and the fact that this is my first lip product from L'occitane, I'm positively impressed.

For the hand cream I don't have anything new to say. I always loved them and I never had any bad experiences with them. Every time I put it on my hands I always wonder how they manage to make such soft creams. When I apply this cream, my hands are literally in heaven. They're absolutely amazing. They're also perfect for winter. Of course another bonus is the new smell. I am obsessed with it and I'm sure you'll be also when you try it out.

I also wanted to share with you a little DYI. I also received this cute pink ribbon from L'occitane and they challenged me to do something creative with it. Since I love making hairstyles I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my hair. To be honest I never used a ribbon in my hair before. I've seen a lot of amazing hairstyles with it, but I never thought I could make anything good with it. Now I had an opportunity and this is what I created (with a bit of help from my mom because she also loves making new hairstyles). Hope you like it.

P.S.: The launch of the new range is November 3rd (at least in Slovenia). They will also have new fragrance, body milk, shower gel and more. If you're a freak like me when it comes to L'occitane, then don't forget to check it out.

QUELLE SURPRISE


Hello ladies. Today I have a very interesting post for you. I recently received an amazing gift by my amazing sister (her blog). It's my very first Mac product and it is this gorgeous lipstick. I couldn't have been more happier with this because out of all products she could've chosen she gave me the one I will use the most. When I'm doing my makeup, the best thing to apply is any sort of lip product. I became really obsessed with them and I especially like wearing more red, orange and purple shades, whereas Maja likes the nudes more (we kind of don't match in this area :P). Anyways I'm sure you've all guessed by now that I will do a review on this lipstick and let's see if it's really worth the money.

Ever since I started watching Youtube videos and beauty gurus I got a bit curious about the high end makeup products. I saw so many bloggers talk about so many brands and their products and it really intrigued me to have some but that of course wasn't possible for a 16 year old me so I was 'stuck' with the drugstore products (which a lot of them are actually great). Now this has ended because of my first high end product.

Lipstick is in the shade called Quelle Surprise and it is this deep purply colour which is absolutely perfect for fall/winter. I would wear it more in winter because of its intensiveness (is that a word?). The packaging is the standard one-black/silver. When I first got to hold this product I noticed that the packaging doesn't feel and it doesn't look cheap. It's actually quite heavy in comparison to drugstore lipsticks. So that was a nice thing to experience but then again it never really bothered me if the packaging didn't look so 'expensive' (unless it broke immediately...).

It has a nice smell and when I first applied it, it had a quite creamy consistency so it doesn't have a matte finish. It also says on the packaging: 'Cremesheen Lisptick'. Because it's such an intense colour I used it in combination with lipliner which was by a brand S-he in the shade 003 and let me tell you guys that it matched perfect and it was only around 2 or 3 €. You can tell that it's not the best quality but I don't care because it's less than a freakin' Mac lip liner which is 16,50$. I like this alternative.

So I really liked this product and the richness of the colour. The next thing I really liked about this product is that it kept my lips hydrated. I didn't have a feeling of my lips being dry so that was a big plus for me.
The only thing that it did bother me was the staying power. The staying power for me wasn't very good. I mean it did last a good amount of hours. I think it lasted around 3 hours without re-applying it but while I had it on my lips I didn't feel quite relaxed. I felt it on my lips so I was nervous all the time if I smudged it, is it still on... It almost felt like it was to heavy for me. Maybe I put too much on my lips but it did feel really heavy. It's like it was saying to me: 'I'm here, be careful.' Emm, what?

Overall I was/am really content with the product and I am so grateful to Maja. I like the product, I like the colour she picked and I really like that she helped me experience my first high end product. I can see what the fuss is all about when it comes to this brand. In terms of lipsticks I was thoroughly impressed because when you apply it on your lips it feels really smooth and you don't need to apply multiple coats to get that strong colour.

This was my review I really hope you enjoyed it. Do you have any Mac products? I would like to know how do you feel about them. Let me know in the comments below and I will talk to you very soon with another beauty related post? Who knows :D Have a lovely day.

MISSLYN EYESHADOW REVIEW


Hello lovelies.

Today I'm actually doing my first ever review. At least I think it's my first one. If it's not, then let's just pretend it is. So my friend surprised me with a very late birthday gift. Why late? Because my birthday is on July and she gave the present to me 2 weeks age. Yay I explained it normally.
I was super excited for what I got. I don't any eyeshadow palettes because I'm not a big makeup freak and I also don't wear a lot of eyeshadows, Now I got a chance to change my habit. She gave me this amazing palette by Misslyn. I already own one of their lipsticks and I'm really satisfied with it. The palette is called Shades of Nude 3 and from the name you can see it's all about the nudes. It has shimmers and a few mates in it. Shimmers are very subtle so I can very at day time. The whole palette consists of 12 shades and they're divided in the packs of three so it sort of tells you which ones to use together. I tried this theory but I ended up mixing them. It also has a brush in it but I probably won't use it. The colours vary from white to dark brown. They're quite pigmented but if you want a really dramatic look, then I would suggest to apply multiple coats of it. The colours are buildable.
I am really satisifed with this palette and I think it'll be a great one to practice doing a smokey eyes look.
It is a very affordable brand so I reccomend it to anyone who isn't good at applying eyeshadows and who at the beginning doesn't want to spend a lot of money on it. It's perfect for anyone.
Next time I'll have a makeup look from this palette.  Have a lovely day.

DUTCH FISHTAIL BRAID

I don't know what's up with me...
I started doing so many hairstyles lately and been loving it. I see a lot of new things and I'm always eager to try it out. My mom always did different types of braids when I was little. Now I think it's my turn to do something myself and I always surprise myself.
This hairstyle that I did was actually one of the things I wanted to try for some time now. I know how to do a fishtail braid but I don't know how to do it close to the head. So this was my attempt this time and I think it's okay. Still learning though. I started doing it from the top of the head and I took bits of hair and put it UNDER insted of over the braid (that's the secret to make the braid pop out more). When I got to the bottom of my ear I took the rest of my hair and started braididng as a normal fishtail braid (putting bits of hair under the braid). That's the whole trick.
My blog just started showing more Hairstyle related posts. I hope you guys like it. I really like to discover new things and right now I'm obsessed with doing different hairstyles myself and spice up my hair a little bit.

Let me know if you like it and tell me if you like seeing this type of posts. Have a great day guys.

3 STRAND FISHTAIL BRAID


This hairstyle may look as it's the hardest thing to do but it's not guys. Seriously once you get the hang of it you would want to do it every day. You can check out this kind of hairstyle on every social platform. I found this one when I was browsing through the Youtube (again I know...). I have long hair and I never do anything with it so I thought to myself:  ''why don't I make something different this time?'' and so I embarked on this mission to suceed in doing this hairstyle and it turned out even prettier than I even thought it would be. The actual twist of this braid was not supposed to happen but I guess I was really tightening it while I was going on. This twist honestly makes it look as it is a DNA (at least in my opinion) and it's so wicked and fun to see. 
So I think that anyone who has longer hair should definitely try this out and have fun with it. I know I thought at the beginning that it'll look one big mess but I was really surprised in a positive way. Well guys get on with it and you'll see that everyone will want to know how you did this. You'll be turning heads for sure.

Share this post if you think someone else might want to try it out or are good with doing these kind of hairstyles. Till next time. Love
❤️‍

BEAUTY'S HERE

Hello lovely reader!

I am so excited to show you these beauty products. I am not that type of person to wake up in the morning an hour earlier and do my face all pretty. It's not that I don't want to is just the fact that I really don't know to do my makeup as good as others. Okay I can apply concealer and a bit of powder and a mascara. I can also do my lips quite decent (I think). So to make myself and my skills more productive I decided to get some new products. I know applying eyeshadow is pretty hard and to blend it evenly is even more impossible to do. So I bought two creamy eyeshadows by Maybelline. First shade which is more rosy is the number 65- Gold Pink and 35- On and On Bronze. It's much easier to use than a regular eyeshadow. The next thing that I instantly loved is also by Maybelline and it is called Lash Sensational. My lashes are longer and more thicker. The last and my favourite thing is this gorgeous lipstick by Misslyn and it is perfect for spring. So I kind of prepared myself for it. These products actually gave me a boost to start to learn how to do my makeup.

Tell me guys why do you love wearing makeup and some of your favourite products that make you WANT to get up half an hour earlier every morning. Have a lovely day everybody :)

EVERYDAY MAKEUP


Hello lovely people!

I want to show you my everyday makeup look. That basically means what I put on my face every morning before I go to college or out with my friends. I am not an expert in makeup therefore my makeup is not at all something special or complicated. I mostly use all this to cover my spots and that I don't look very tired. I would love to experiment with it but I am not very patient with this and we all know this takes a lot of practice and time. I guess I am just satisfied with a little conealer and a mascara. And these two products are one of the things I use. So the whole process goes something like this:

1) Moisturizer (we don't want dry skin do we?)
2) Concealer. Mine is by Maybelline
3) Powder to set the concealer. Mine is by Rimmel.
4) Eyeshadow. Mine's Trio palette by Deborah
5) Mascara. I use the one by Maybelline-Rocket volum'
OPTIONAL (I use it very often):
6) Lipstick + lip-liner. At the moment since it's winter I like using dark shades. I bought one by Misslyn in the shade 119
6) Eyeshadow

Let me know if you are a big fan of makeup or is your routine something similar to mine. I'd love to see some of your posts about your Everyday makeup if you have. And this is how all these products on my face turn out to be ⤵

LITTLE THINGS

I think we all have busy days or weeks or even months and I honestly don't operate good where there's not enough time to relax. You are always tense and always think you didn't do everything you were supposed to. December is definitely one of the busiest time of the year and also when the finals come... A LOT of occasions actually. In those 'hard' times I always think of the days I used to have no worries and I did whatever I wanted to do. Now is that time where I can really relax and do things I was eager to do for a long time. The truth is that I always crave for some new TV shows, make myself a cup of tea, spend the whole day in comfiest clothes I own, no makeup/hair done, good reading, scrolling through Tumblr... Those little, not so important things that are indespensable to me  and are literally the ones that keep me going. I don't know I guess I am really calmed when I do some of these things that are stress-free and demand so little of me.
Here are some pictures that express what I really meant with those words that I wrote above.

Laying in bed and listen to some music...

Reading in bed-YES please...

currently obssesed with it...

 Comfy clothes are the one...

No hairstyle for my relax-time *wink*

Disclaimer: photos taken from tumblr, weheartit, google

I think all of us have something that keeps us calm and makes us crave for it so let me know some of them in the comments and have a lovely rest of the week.
P.S.: If you are as obssesed with tumblr as I am then you can check out my account HERE...

BEAUTY


Hello everybody!

Today I have something beauty related for you. I've never done this kind of post as I am not that obsessed with make-up. That's also not good because that means that I am not very good with putting all products on my face. So I decided to work on this because it became an important part in our lives and well I don't want to be left behind. I am not saying that make-up is priority or anything. That only applies to those who love playing with it and I was always fascinated by those who have make-up on so nicely and are so good with it. I will have to practice that and see if it's something I can learn.
I have three products to show you today: Lipstick, Eyeliner and Concealer.

Lipstick is by a brand called Misslyn. It is a dark red purple-ish colour and is in the shade 119. It's called Love Temper. The reason why I went for this colour is the fact that it's winter time and I think darker shades are more appropriate for this time of the year.



Eyeliner... It's by Essence and it says it's extra longlasting. Well that is something that was bought on impulse. I want so badly to learn how to make a little flick at the end of the eye and basically to learn how to use it. Everyone is using it and their eyes look so nice and mysterious. Wish me good luck with it. I am sure I'll have a lot of struggle with it.



Concealer is by a brand called Maybelline and is a product that I purchased for the second time. I really like it and it conceales all the spots that I have and it's great for under eye area. Mine is in the shade 02- Natural. I think it's a perfect product and it is kind of liquid. It's not in the stick as these kind of concealers really dry up my skin and I don't like using it. So if you're looking something more liquid base then this is for you. The only downfall is that in our country there are only 2 shades available. I'm sure elsewhere there're more varities. 


Let me know if you have some lipsticks that you love wearing in this time of the year. Have a lovely day.
