Easy eye look using the Urban Decay Naked 1

I promissed a face of the day using the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette. I chose to use this palette because I think that even if you don't own this exact palette, the shades are so easy to replace. Basically everybody has a gold, a deep brown and a black eyeshadow. So lets get started with the steps.

December Favorites

December was all about relaxing and just spending some extra time at home. The fact that the weather became significantly colder, could be the main the reason for this. I enjoyed taking long baths, doing my nails, and taking extra care of my skin.

"In between" skincare products

Belated Merry Christmas to all of you reading this right now! I hope you had an amazing time with your family and friends! Wish you all happiness and healthiness!

Today I wanted to share some thoughts of the products I like to call "in between" skin care items. These are the extras we can incorporate into our skincare routine. These products are not stend alone products, they ment to complete a routine, basically an extra skin care step if you choose to have one.

Two in one blush and illuminator: Sleek Rose Gold

I am sure you already heard about the comparison between the Sleek blush inRosegold and the Nars Orgasm blush.  I don't own the Nars one, so I can't give my thoughts on that, but I think this Sleek blush worth mentioning.

Daily makeup organization

I am a very organized person, at least I try my best to be one. So when I started working a few months ago, and I had only 10 minutes to get ready in the morning and do my makeup it was a real struggle for me to leave my makeup table clean and not in a messy state.

Thoughts on my setting powders

Using a setting powder, especially one that controls the oils break thru is a must step for me. I have combination to oily skin.Though I use foundations that are targeted for my oily skintype, that solely is not enough to get me thru a minimum of 12 hour wear of makeup, so I do need the help of setting powders.

Gym bag beauty essentials

When going to the gym you need to have some basic beauty products in your bag. And I am not talking about foundation and mascara, I am talking about the essentials that everybody needs to have in their gym bag.

November 5 Favorites

I didn't do a post with my October favorites just because I didn't have enough products to mention, but for the month of November I found some amazing items that truly stand out and they deffinitely worth mentioning. My top 5 favorites are:

10 Awesome Gift idea for Christmas

With the end of November already here, I would advise everybody to start thinking about the presents they want to get for their loved ones. We tend to leave things at the last minute and then we rush getting the presents for everybody. But there is still enough time and I hope my ideas will help some of you out.

Biotin

I started using Biotin two years ago. (By using I mean that once a year I buy a jar that contains 90caps that is enough for 3 months, 1 cap per day is enough) I heard many people saying that this will help your hair grow faster and longer, it will help your nails be stronger aswell and help your skin be nicer. I heard that it even helps with eczema ( which I do have). So of course, when something promisses longer,  healthier hair, fuller eyelashes and eyebrows,  stronger nails, for a beauty addict is a must to try out.

Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette

I am not going or trying to review the features of this pochette or give a depth review about its details. I am sure there are tons of people who are better describing designer pieces, so I leave it to them. But I am going to share my thoughts and the practicality of this wonderful little pochette.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Face masks are one of those skincare products that can get really expensive, and I don't think they always worth that price tag. Of course I tried some expensive masks, like the Glamglow facemasks, and I did actually enjoy them a lot. But they were only enough for a couple of uses, so I am not sure if I will repurchase them.

5 Minutes Makeup recipe

Makeup recipe for those days when we are in a  hurry,or when we are feeling a little too lazy to take those extra steps and make a whole glammed up look.

The lip combo as of late

There is no doubt that I will rock this combo all fall/winter long. I am quite anxious when wearing  anything other than a nude lip, just because I feel like I should constantly check if the lipstick is still on my actual lip where it should be and not on my teeth or maybe smeared unevenly around my lip line.

Did you know? Most helpful Beauty Tips

These beauty tips will come in handy when you least expect it, so take a pen and paper and make some notes. I have already shared a couple of these tips previously, but now I gathered them together and decided to make a separate post about them. For days I have been thinking of all the tricks and tips I tried myself and think they worth mentioning:

ByTerry Cover Expert Foundation Review

This foundation is one of the best ones out of all that I have tried so far,in therms of finish, longevity and color match this is my nr. 1. This is suitable for normal to combination oily skintypes. I am not sure how it would behave on a dry skin.

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid

Can I just say that I have't been this excited for a perfume in a loong time. This is all I want to use since I got it, and that says a lot.

Sneaky little purchases from SpaceNK, Beautybay, Douglas

I made a dent in my bankaccount and I don't regret it. Is that even healthy to say? I love everything I got and theytrully make me feel happy. Do you feel that beauty products make you happy?

Healthy glowy skin, fake lashes and matt lips

I wanted to create for today an effortless looking skin, but we alreeady know that cheating a no makeup makeup look is actually harder that we think, and it requires as much product as we would use for a usual type of look.The end result is a  perfected skin, that is looking healthy, glowy in the right areas and mattyfied where it should be. A well rested looking undereye area, of course no signs of dark circles. Cheating a big eye with some fake lashes, and matt lips to reate some balance.

That highlighting touch to your makeup

Illuminators/highlighters can change the whole makeup. Adding just this little, final touch to your makeup will glam things up a bit and you will be more likely to get some compliments. Of course, you will know why, but others will just wonder what could be your secret to that gorgeous looking makeup.
