Perfect look for Valentine's Day!

I'm excited for today's tutorial - it's Valentine's Day look! I like it a lot and it's super easy to do :) Just follow these simple steps!

♥ Step 1
Apply your face products - contour with a matte bronzer, put a pink on the apples of your cheeks and highlight your face!

♥ Step 2
Prime your eyes with a primer.

♥ Step 3
Sweep light pink on the inner half of your eyelid.

♥ Step 4
Apply brighter pink on the outter part of your lid.

♥ Step 5
Take a crease brush and build this plum color (it has a lot of red tones too) in your crease. It's one of my favourites crease colors!

♥ Step 6
Apply a shimmery whitte under your browbone and in the inner corners.

♥ Step 7
Line your upper lash line with a gel eyeliner. Make it wider on the outside. Also, line a upper tight line. Then take a little bit of dark brown color on your smudge or angled brush and smudge that line a little bit.

♥ Step 8
Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara.

♥ Step 9
Use your a lip color you like. I you want to stay in a pink color family - use pink, if you want to use deeper - go for berry colored lips. These are my suggestions:


Now you're done! I hope you are going to have an amazing, full of love Valentine's Day!

Small monday haul!

I was really busy last week, because I had a huge math test, so I didn't post a lot, I'm sorry!
However, I bought a few beauty related things today and I just want to show you them :) My next post (I will post it later today ar tomorow) is going to be a Valentine's makeup tutorial! So check my blog later or you can follow me on twitter for updates :)

Here's all things I got today:

♥ Batiste dry shampoo
This is my favourite dry shampoo! You should try it :) Sadly, I coudn't find my favourite blush scent, so I bought original one.

♥ Maybelline Rocket Volume mascara
I needed a new mascara, this one on sale and they also give a free Colorama eye pencil with it! I also heard a good reviews from beuty gurus, so I just had to buy it! I'll do a review soon :)

♥ Essence 24h hand cream
I bought hot caramet chocolate scent :) It spells amazing! I alredy tryed this product and I can say, that it feels good on your hands, makes them soft and smells amazing, but it is defienetely not a 24h moisture :) But it was really inexpensive and I don't have a problem with it :)

♥ Live Clean Argain Oil  conditioner
I wanted to try this brand for a while and now when I ran out of my conditioner I finally purchased it. I'll try it and give you my thoughts (next week I will do a post about hair conditoners).

This is all I got today, I hope you all are having an amazing day!

Winter must-haves!

Hey, everyone!

Today's post is about my winter must-haves. I was inspired to do this post by a popular beauty vlogger Miss Glamorazzi, so thanks to her!
It gets pretty cold where I live, so over the years I discovered good products to keep my skin and hair moisturised :) I'm also going to share my favourite scents and makeup items for this time of year :)

♥ Skicare

- I have combination skin - it gets really oily in some parts, but is normal in others. However, at winter my skin sometimes gets dry and that annoys me a lot! Last year my skin was absolutely crazy - super dry in some parts of face and oily in others; I also was breaking out constantly. I tried a lot of products, but nothing worked. Finally I discovered Biotherma Sebium Hydra moisturising cream. It's amazing! I'm so happy, that discovered it. It does everything it has to do - moistures skin, but doesn't make it oily. My favourite skin care product!


♥ Makeup

- One of my favourite winter makeup items are Maybelline Color Tattoos! Especially these two colors : On And On Bronze and Pomegranate Punk.
I think these colors are perfect for this season. Main reason why I love them so much is that you don't have to spend so much time on your makeup. It just perfect for days when you overslept - you can just put these eyeshadows all over your lid and crease with your finger and you're ready to go! Also, when you woke up in the morning to go to school it's dark outside and if you don't have good lightning it can be hard to do even and nice makeup. I usualy do more than just these cream eyeshadows even in the early morning, but I always reach for these when I woke up too late and can't spend much time on my makeup.

- Lip butter & lip balm! One of the most important thing in winter is to keep your lips moisturised! I just hate chapped lips and that happens if I don't take proper care of my lips. Every night I apply lip butter form The Body Shop. It's my favourite, because it moisturises my lips really well. I also apply this products in the morning, but I don't carry it with me everywhere. I always take lip balm with me. I just love "Kiss Care Love" lipbalms my Essence. They have nice shimmery finish, so looks really pretty on top of the lipstick - you can moisturise your lips all day long and also have a beautiful shine!

♥ Body products

- Body butter. It has thicker consistency than lotion and I like it for winter. It can take a little bit more to apply, but definetely worth it! It leaves your skin very soft and moisturised. It may sound funny, but I always feel more warm after I put nody butter on my skin!

- Body scrub. I just love to scrub all dead skin cells once a week. It preps your skin for shaving and moisturising!

♥ Hair care

- Hair mask. My hair gets frizzy and dry in winter time, so I always try to protect them from cold weather and wind. My favourite hair mask of all time is Wella System Professionals Moisturising mask. I love that it moisturises your hair super well and that moisture stays for a long time! You can feel the diference even after second wash without this mask!

- Hair oil. I always apply hair oil on my ends after I wash my hair. My favourite is one from The Body Shop, called Grape seed glossing serum. I also like to use coconut oil BEFORE I wash my hair. I apply it to my ends before I go to sleep and then take shower in the morning. Leaves hair really soft!
What is more, I use hair oil after I blow drye them or second day after wash if I feel that I need it. My hair just love oils as you can tell! :)

♥ Scents

- Vanilla! I'm a huge fan of sweet scents in general and I love vanilla for all seasons, but in winter it makes me feel warm and cozy!

- Love, etc... perfumes by The Body Shop. I love them! It was a gift from my boyfriend and I think that scent suits this season perfectly.


Also, scarves, sweaters, warm tights, cute hats and gloves are my must-haves for winter too!


I hope this was helpful for you, guys! Check out my blog in wednesday for next post!
Bye!

Beautiful makeup for weekend!

Hey everyone!

I'm really happy to present my first makeup tutorial. I think it's perfect for weekend - I'm going to wear it tomorow for sure!

Here's step-by-step instuctions for glamorous eye look!

♥ Step 1
Apply your face products. Contour your cheeks with some matte bronzer. Apply natural blush to apples of your cheeks and blend it towards your temples. Finish up with highlighting your cheekbones, nose and forehead.

♥ Step 2
Prime your eyes with eyeshadow base. It will help your eyeshadows last all day!
Use any primer you have and like - I'm using "I ♥ Stage" by Essence.

♥ Step 3
Apply a liquid or cream shimmery eyeshadow or highlighter all over your eye - lid, crease and under the browbone. It will look amazing under the eyeshadows!
I'm using "I ♥ Runway" highlighter by Essence.

♥ Step 4
Use a matte eyeshadow that is a little bit lighter then your skin. Apply it over your lid.
I'm using this light shade from Wet n'Wild eyeshadow palette in Lust. I have very fair skin, so you should look for other alternatives if you have a darker skin!

♥ Step 5
Put a light brown color in your crease and in the outter part of you lid. I'm a color called  Sultry from Nude' Tude palette by the Balm (my favourite eyeshadows palette!).

If you have a darker skin or just don't like matte eyeshadows I have couple other suggestions:

(Left one -"Get Ready!" by Essence , right one - bronzy shade from Rimmel's "Smokey Brun")

♥ Step 6
Use darker brown on the outter corner of your crease. I mixed two colors (Schitzo and Sleek) from Nude'Tude palette to get perfect color for me.

♥ Step 7
Apply an eyeliner you prefer. I'm using gel eyeliner by Essence on my upper lashline and on my lower waterline for more drama.

♥ Step 8
Curl your eyelashes and apply your favourite mascara! I'm using by "le Colossal Volum Express Smokey Eyes" by Maybelline.

♥ Step 9
Use a deep berry lipstick. I used "Runway Rose" by Clinique. It has beautiful color and stays on your lips for a long time!

That's it! Now you're ready to go!
I hope you will try it out!

Check my blog on monday for another post!

Drugstore makeup: Essence

Hey girls!

This week I will writte about my favourites drugstore brands. Actually, I mostly shop at drugstores, so it is exciting for me to introduce all of you with amazing brands you can find there. And save a lot of money!

I picked Essence as my first brand, because I've been loving this brand for years. It's really inexpensive and a quality is good. I tryed a lot of different stuff and only few of them didn't impress me.

There is a overview of Essence products I own :

Products review:

1. Blushes.
I really like them. Blushes doesn't have crazy pigmentation, but they're realy bildable, so I never had a problem with that. I love Silky Touch blushes :

I also tried two souffle blushes. Basicly, it's a cream blush. I loved blush from they ballerina collection! It's really natural, soft, bildable and just awesome. I don't think you can get them anymore, but if you can - deffinetly give them a try! Just keep in mind, that I have very light skin, so I am not sure if this color would show up well on other skin tones..

Another one I tried - Shuffle Touch Blush. I have to honest - I was so excited when I saw this in store - i loved so much Ballerina blush and I thought this would be similar. I was totaly wrong! First of all, it looks a lot darker ir the packaging - color is totally wrong! This blush is hard to blend and if you put too much it start peeling. It's strange and I don't like it. I wear it anyways, but is not my favourite one.

2. Eyeshadows
I have a lot of Essence eyeshadows, because it were only ones I bought, when I just started out with makeup. I like them and use on a daily basis, but I have to admit, that they don't have perfect pigmentation. It still works well and stays with a primer, but black isn't the darkest I saw in a drugstores. Anyways, all products are really inexpensive and have great varietu of colors, so I always reach for Essence, when I want to experiment a little bit :)

3. Eyeliners
My favourite is gel eyeliner - not only it is my favourite type of liner in general, it's also stays really well and has great dark color. I just love working with it!
However, pencil eyeliners are not so great. Doesn't have enough pigmentation and you have to work hard to bild that colors. I used black one a lot and you to really press that eyeliner hard to get dark color! The simple ones are ok, but doesn't stay really well - you can easily remove it with a finger. I wouldn't recommend them :) But they're not terrible, I still use them, just wouldn't repurchase them.

4. Nail polishes
I have a few Essence nail polishes and then they came out with a new collection, I usually grab one :) They have great colors and a lot of them! I have to admit, they last only a couple days (even with top cout), but I love the colors :) So it's up to you - if you like to change your nail polish a lot - go for it :) I recommend to go with a lighter colors - you hardly can see, when it just starts to chip, so you can have extra day.

5. Highlighters
I tried two - liquid and powder. I inlove with the powder one - it's a perfect color (works as an eyeshadow for me too!). Liquid one is perfect for highlighting your inner corners or under the brows (it was said on the packaging, however, at first I wanted to use this product as my face highlighter. It didn't work out, but I love to apply this product under my shadows as a base - it adds a lot of shimmer for entire look!).

6. Face products (foundations, powders, concealers, etc..)
I'm not a huge fan of Essence face products. I have to admit that I never bought a foundation myself, but I tried my friends one and I wasn't impressed. I had a powder, but it doesn't worked for me. I like concealers thought - but I don't have a lot of break outs, so I don't need really great coverage. Anyways, for face products I usually go for other brands, so I can't say a lot about Essence ones.

7. Lip products
I own a few Essence lipsticks - I love the colors (honestly, one of the best I own!), but colors doesn't stay very well and that annoys me a little bit. But they feels very silky and moisturising on your lips and I like how it looks.
I'm absolutely inlove with "Kiss Care Love" lip balms. They smells amazing, feels really good and has a nice shimmery finish - I like to use them over some lipstick.

Overall, I think that Essence is a great brand, especially for begginers, because you can find a lot of inexpensive products and a great variety of colors and textures :) Also, new collections comes quickly, so you can try a lot of new things :) I use Essence products a lot and I probably will upload my suggested looks after a few days :) Make sure to come back for that!


I think that's it, girls!:) I hope you enjoyed reading my post and it was hepful for you :) I would love to write more about drugstore brands, so make sure to leave me a comment telling which one I should choose! :)

Also, make sure to check my blog in a few days if you interested in hair - I will upload a lot of reviews, as well as tips and tricks for treating and styling your hair :)

TAG: This or That?

Hey, guys!

Today I have a fun post for you - it's a tag! I tag every single one of you! If you don't have a blog, just write your answers in the comments.


Blush or Bronzer?
Blush! I use bronzer only for contouring and I have very fair skin, so I definetely can contour with darker blush :)

Lipgloss or Lipstick?
Lipstick. It stays longer and usually has better pigmentation.

Chapstick or Lip Butter?
Lip butter. I love to have moisturised and soft lips (I have annoying habbit of biting my lips when I'm nervous) and lip butters are just perfect for that :)

Matte or Sparkle Eye Shadow? 
Sparke, if it means shimmer :)

Gel, Liquid, Cream, or Pencil Eyeliner?
Gel! It's so easy to work with and looks amazing!

Foundation or Concealer? 
Foundation. I don't have that many spots I need to conceal, also, I can just use more foundation for that :)

Liquid or Powder Foundation? 
Liquid

Neutral or Statement Eyes?
I almost always wear neutral, but I love to experiment with makeup! So neutral is something I prefer to wear, but doing something more statement is so much fun!

Pressed or Loose Shadows? 
Pressed. It's just easier to work with.

Waterproof or Non Water proof? 
Non-Waterproof, because I hate waterproof makeup removers - they're so oily :(

Brushes, Sponges or Fingers?
Brushes!

Powder, Cream, or Liquid Highlighter?I use powder, but still searching for good liquid highlighter :)


That's it, guys! I hope it was interesting for you to read :) Also, I found this tag at A Brunette Duet blog, so thanks to them for this tag!

Favourite hair products #1 : shampoos!

Hey, girls :)

Today I will give you my oppinion about hair products. I'm going to start with shampoos and give you my favourites in different price range. Also, I'm always trying out new ones, so leave me suggestions and I will try them!

The most inexpensive shampoo, which works really well is probably L'Oreal Elvital. It washes your hair pretty well, gives some shine and softness. There is a variety of series to choose from and I tried a lot of them! When I run out of shampoo and don't have time or money - I go for Nutri-Gloss one. The only product, which doesn't worked for my was L'oreal Elvital Total Repair 5 Minute Miracle, because it gave me dandruffs :( But I have have very sensitive scalp, so it might be not the conditioners fault! I gave the this conditioner to my friend and she loves it, because her hair always feels super soft after she uses it! :) I know that talk about conditioners is a little off-topic, but I just want you to know how much I love Elvital products :)

One of my other favourites is this Doliva Repair shampoo. I love it! I used it this summer and it worked absolutely perfect! It's inexpensive and easy to find, also, it protects your hair from sun damage and that's awesome for summer!

For a little bit pricier shampoo I can suggest Banana Shampoo by The Body Shop! I love that it is really natural, so my scalp doesn't get irritated. But in the time it's very cleansing and leaves my hair very cleane after I use it. I wash my hair only every other day (my hair care routine is going to be up soon!) and I need to have as clean hair as possible :) This shampoo is perfect! I also should say, that banana's smell isn't too strong, so I don't get tired of it. One of my favourite hair poduct so far!

Now probably the priciest one (but deffinetely woth the price) - Wella System Proffesionals Volume Shampoo. I love Wella System Proffesionals products a lot and this is one of best. It's so gentle for your scalp, but gives volume and moisture! Also, you don't need a lot of it - you need just a little bit to wash your hair. I have a huge bottle and I will deffinetely repurchase it! My mom also loves it, because she has even thinner hair that I do :)






So that's my picks! I hope it was helpful for you, girls :) These products are all different price range, so you should fine at least one to try :) I just want to say, that I have thin, colored, a little bit damaged hair :) Ends are dry, but scalp is pretty oily (I can get through second day only with dry shampoo). So if you have similar hair - you might like these products too!
That's it for today! My next post probably going to be about drugstore makeup and then I will get back to hair.

Bye!
