My No Make-up Look

Well hello,

I generally love wearing smoky eyes and fun lip colors, but most of the time I wear very simple and natural look. I just don´t see the need to wear a ton of make-up during the day. So I wanted to share the products I use on a daily basis to achieve a flawless no make-up look.

I recently bought Nude Illusion Foundation from Catrice Cosmetics in the lightest shade available, 010 Nude Ivory and honestly I have quite a love and hate relationship with it. The first few days I was applying it with my hands and it looked just awful. But then I tried using the Blending Sponge and I have to say it leaves quite a natural, dewy finish. Still it only lasts a few hours before if starts fading away. I will keep on trying it out and let you know the final result.

Under my eyes I use Maybelline´s Instant Anti-Age Effect The Eraser Eye concealer, shade Fair 03. I love the applicator and the way it brightens up my whole face. At the moment this is my  fave concealer for under eye dark circles, but you can use it also for highlighting or blemishes.

For my blemishes I always use my holy grail concealer, Bourjois Healthy Mix in the shade 51.It is thicker consistency which covers all the imperfections. you can read my full review here.

In addition to having dark under eye circles I also have dark eyelids. I usually use the foundation to conceal them but lately I have been using Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in the color Soft Ochre. Even when I don´t put on any eyeshadow, I think it lasts longer and It doesn´t crease.

I top everything with  Translucent Rimmel Stay Matte Powder to set the concealer and prevent it from creasing and I also use it on my T-zone, which tends to get quite oily.

With light  hand I contour and bronze with my holy grail Essence Bronzing Powder in Love to be Matt (02). As  the name suggests it is a Matt bronzer with orange undertones. And I add a bit of natural color Blush. My favourite blush is Rose Whisper from Gosh.

For my eyes I like to use brown eyeliner, because it looks more subtle and natural. I use Catrice Cosmetics Khol Kajal eyeliner. My favourite Mascara is still 2000 Calorie from Max Factor. Lastly I add a highlighter under my brow bone, inner corners of the eyes and on a cupids bow. It comes in a form of jumbo pencil and it is Catrice Cosmetics Eyebrow Lifter in number 010, Lift Me Up, Scotty!

I know it sounds a lot, but every product adds something special and needed. Again, I use everything with light hand so it ends up looking effortless and natural. I hope you enjoyed this.

Love,

A Touch of Spring in The Fall Time?

Well hello,

I know everyone is already busy layering their dark clothes and digging out their vampy lipsticks, but I can´t seem to part with my spring colors, especially on my nails. Since I mostly wear black clothes all year around I enjoy wearing bright and colorful nail polishes. So, you do your thing and I will sport a little touch of spring in the Fall time.

A couple months back I received three spring shade Rimmel  nail polishes for my B-day (that I have picked out myself) and I have been obsessed with them ever since. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and I am having a hard time leaving them behind. My absolute fave of the trio is the one I  already owned and raved about on my blog: Misty Jade. I am usually not a fan of green color but there is something about this one that has me mesmerized. I think it might be my fave nail polish shade ever. I really do. It makes my skin look tan and it makes me happy just looking at it.

Next is light orange/coral shade, which I have been obsessing over for a while now as you might already know. Again, as a color I am not the biggest fan of orange but is seems to work for my skin. I love wearing coral blushes, because they warm up my skin tone and it makes my skin look younger, and more rested. The same goes for this nail polish. I think Tangy Tangerine makes my skin look quite nice and young looking.

And lastly a pale yellow shade: Lemon Drop, This one looks so gorgeous. It is quite pale, which means the skin will appear darker. Have you noticed a theme here? I have quite pale skin, so wearing lighter shades of nail polish helps. Still, the polish looks so soft and elegant on the nails. Perfect shade for any season.

Are you breaking any Fall time rules like me and holding onto summer? Share your secrets in the comments.

Mini Catrice Cosmetics Haul

Well hello,

It´s been a while since I wrote anything on my blog. Honestly, I had so much going on and when I did have time to write something I just didn´t find the passion. So I decided to take some time for myself and I guess I´m finally back. Also, just because I didn´t post any reviews doesn´t mean I wasn´t busy spending my money. I have tried so many products and I can´t wait to start typing, Ha ha

Anyways, lets stop this excuse fest and jump right into the mini Haul. Lately, every time I step into the Drugstore I end up buying some goodies. There are so many new products coming out and I can´t wait to try them. Especially Catrice Cosmetics came out with new foundations, blushes, lipsticks, you name it. One thing I was so happy to see was the Blending sponge. There was such a hype going on about Beauty Blender a while back, but the price was way to high. Especially not knowing If I would even like such a thing. I am so happy Catrice created It´s own dupe and I hope It will become one of my make-up staples. If nothing else, Catrice Make Up Blending Sponge will be a great way to release stress, since its so addictively squishy.

Another thing I picked up is yet another nail polish. But I promise I have nothing like it in my collection. I am recently on some sort of lavender/purple kick and this color is to die for. Not to mention purple is my absolute favourite color. I can´t wait to try Catrice Cosmetics It´s Time For Lovender

And lastly a new foundation. I was a bit sceptical about this one, because it is very liquidy and low coverage - both things I don´t usually go for. Still, Catrice always seems to pleasantly surprise me, so I got it anyways. If I don´t end up liking Nude Illusion Foundation, I will pass it on to my mommy. Problem solved.

Honestly, It feels quite nice to be back. I will report the results as soon as they are in, Ha ha. I hope you enjoyed this mini haul and stay tuned for more.

Love,
