Things I've Been Loving This Month

This month I've been loving wearing a very simple summery make up. Even though I don't even like wearing foundation, I wore Bourjois Healthy Mix serum every day. I absolutely adore this foundation, it's just perfect for me. Definitely HG material. Then I used a bit of ArtDeco Perfect Teint Illuminator under my eyes and set my make up with Givenchy Mattisime powder. To...

Sleek Pout Paints

I'm sure most of you have already heard about Sleek's Pout Paints. I've been patiently awaiting  the day they'll finally started selling them online and when it came, I ordered three shades - Milkshake, Peachy Keen and Cloud 9. For years I've been searching the perfect peachy shade for me and I decided to custom mix it myself. I was very much inspired...

I Fancy My Fantasies

I've gone a bit fragrance crazy recently as you may have noticed. But I found this great UK based web store that offers fragrances for really low prices. I ordered all three fragrances and some S Factor stuff from cheapsmells.com and they all arrived in four days (although one package is still missing, but I blame our post service. Fingers crossed it arrives...

Ciate Sugared Almonds

I ordered Ciate's Paint Pot in Sugared Almond together with Barry M's Pink Flamingo (which I already swatched here) from Ličila.si. It costs 12,95 € for 13,5 ml, which is quite expensive for a nail polish. Sugared Almond is a pink nude shade, I would describe it as a light dusty pink with a creme finish. It's a great everyday colour, demure but...

Maybelline Color Sensational 420 Coral Pop

When I saw this post on Make Up & More blog, I immediately put Coral Pop on my ''to check'' list. When I swatched it in Műller I was overjoyed over the fact it matched my favourite nail polish Miss Sporty's 370. It literally looked the same shade, a perfect mix of pink and coral. Damn those deceiving lights! So imagine my disappointment...

Barry M Pink Flamingo

Pink Flamingo is a fantastic summer shade. Seriously, it's gorgeous. It's a bright pink shade mixed with some coral, similar to Miss Sporty 370 just pinker and with a cream finish. I get full coverage with only one coat and the formula is super easy to work with. The swatch is pretty accurate, in real life the colour is just a touch more...

My New Fragrances

I've been loving my Euphoria and Escada fragrances and those were actually the only ones I wore for the last year. But I wanted some more variety and I turned to imitation/fake fragrances the likes being sold in Refan/La Gusta. I'm going to be honest and say that I personally don't notice the difference between the originals and the ''fakes'' either in longevity/sillage...

What I Bought This Week...

I'll start with the eyeliners. I finally got the chance to see the Essence 50's Reloaded TE. I was super excited about the lipsticks and eyeliners, and honestly both left me a bit disappointed. Quality-wise lipsticks looked great in a sense that they felt very moisturising,  but the lighter shade looked completely orange on me (the red one was cute, but I prefer my...
