A small peak into the kitchen...

2012-01-20T12:45:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

I know some of you will be confused with this blog post... but whatever, I just wanted to share with you something not beauty related! :)

Ok, so some of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook know that I have a dog (a Frenchie) , who is like my little baby and whom I love SO much! I guess I have to compensate the fact that I don't have children yet with love towards my doggie! :)

Anyways, my husband and I thought that it would be quite nice to spoil our sweet little cutie with a tasty meal (Andy is really picky you know). So that you know, it does not happen too often, so please don't judge us! I have to mention that Andy (our Frenchie) loves pasta, cheese and meat. We decided not to think too long and just mix everything he likes together! As a result we came up with this amazing meal: penne pasta mixed with mincemeat (duck) and cheese. Yummy even for me! :)

... believe it or not our dog really enjoyed this! :)

Some Stockholm Trip Highlights

2012-01-14T05:04:00.000-08:00

Hello Beautiful!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter know that I've been travelling to Stockholm recently and I thought that some of you might be interested in seeing the highlights of this trip :)

Just before I show the pictures, I'd like to mention that my husband and I took a ferry to Stockholm from Tallinn. You basically hop on the ferry in the evening; next day in the morning you are already in Sweden... You have 6-7 hours to walk in the city and same day in the evening you go back. It is kind of a short cruise thing. Anyways, here are some of the pictures. Hope you'll like them!

My makeup WISH LIST for January 2012

2011-12-30T01:31:00.000-08:00

Hello Beautiful!

If you at least slightly know me, then you'd know what role makeup plays in my life. I know many people, who being nervous / stressed / sad etc start eating a lot... in my case, I go makeup shopping! :) Since I consider this to be sometimes an addiction, I decided to start composing "makeup wish lists" before I do purchases. This basically helps me get my thoughts together and thus control myself and not spend tons of money on something that I actually don't need.

This way or another here goes the list of makeup that I am considering purchasing. Obviously, I will not buy everything from this list (or who knows:) ), but I would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions too!

1. The Sparkler (The Body Shop), 22 EUR.

This is basically an illuminator, which comes in a cute bottle that reminds me of the old perfume bottles. Needless to say, that the packaging influences me a lot too! Isn't that TOO CUTE!? :) The Sparkler comes in two colors - pink and gold! The illuminator is dry in texture, but the quality seems to be really nice! I actually have tried them and like both of them! However, since I already have so many illuminators, I might start with just one for now... the pink one! ;) ..obvious, right? :)

2. YSL Cream Blush in # 3 Silky Praline, 35 EUR

I have always been very sceptical towards cream blushes... don't ask me why (I truly don't know), however I recently have tried YSL's cream blush and fell in love with it! First of all, the product pigmentation is quite nice (not too little, not too much... just enough)! Second, the product feels amazing on your skin. Compared to other cream blushes, it feels more like mousse on your fingers and skin; it leaves a very nice and sultry finish.

The color I would like to go for is 3 (Silky Praline), which is sort of dirty pink/brown color - the color I am used to wear on the every-day basis.

3. Diorshow Iconic Mascara

I have never used any mascara by Dior... still can't believe this is possible! Anyways, quite a few of my friends own this mascara and I truly love how their lashes look like. Diorshow Iconic is a high definition lash curler mascara, which in my opinion is all I need. I don't think Diorshow Iconic gives you volume, but it indeed sculpts, streches and curls your lashes. I guess this is a must-have for me!

4. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Forbidden Fruit is always sweet... Laura Mercier is not sold where I live and this makes me desire this foundation even more! From what I have seen on YT, Silk Creme Foundation is HOT this season and I sincerelly would like to try this out! Hopefully, I'll get a chance to obtain it very soon! ;) Btw, have you guys tried this foundation before!? If so, is it really that good?

Anyways, I guess this is IT for my wish list so far! Do you know anything that I still haven't tried and you like it? If you do, then definetely let me know! ;) I am in costant search for good products to try out! Thanks! ;)

Love,
Karina

My Wish List for September

2011-09-03T03:36:00.000-07:00

I am sure many girls will agree that we always have a huge list of items in mind that we REALLY want and need to have! I am not an exception! Here goes the list of my wish items for September 2011. Obviously, I won't be able to buy all of them, but I may be able to purchase at least some! I will keep you updated in my YT videos :)

1. Tailored Shift Dress by Karen Millen (GBP 175.00)

I really love Karen Millen dresses! The funniest thing is that I don't have any :) For some reason, the majority of these dresses are too small for me in the chest area! Anyways, this dress is amazing! I have tried it on and it looks perfect!!! The only thing that I don't like is the price! Why do practically all beautiful things have to be so expensive?

2. Open Toe Leopard Print Pumps (Alessa) by Guess (EUR 165.00)

If you know me at least a tiny bit, you know how I love leopard prints! And it is not that I just love them, but half of my wardrobe is full on cheetah-prints! Obviously, when I saw these cute pumps, I fell in love with them! I can totally see how they would fit my leopard-print blazer, jeans, tops etc. ...what can I say, I NEED to have them :)

3. Quilted Laptop Sleeve by Ted Baker (GBP 49.00)

Needless to say that practically all of us have laptops, iPads etc. I personally have quite a few laptop sleeves, but when I saw this one...well, I just fell in love with it! It looks and feels amazing... and it is PINK :) Obviously, this is a must have for my Wish List! :)

4. Sleek i-Divine Primer Palette (GBP 7.50)

I personally have always felt that there is lack of good colourful primers on the market! The good news is that Sleek has come up with a whole primer palette this time! Bearing in mind the quality of Sleek products, I am sure this product is going to be a MUST HAVE for every girl who loves makeup! Hopefully, I will try this palette myself soon :)

5. MUA Cosmetics Eye Shadow Palette
Finally, MUA Cosmetics Eye Shadows Palettes.... For me these palettes are a legend! I have never EVER been able to find any in store and I really sincerelly look forward to it! Can't wait to try the MUA's professional line! ...hopefully this month... :)

What does your wish list look like? ;) Please let me know in the comment section below! :)

Love,

10 Wedding Makeup Tips: Advice for YOUR Wedding

2011-07-07T16:27:00.000-07:00

Hello Beautiful!

So, you are getting married!? My congratulations to you! Now on that very day you want to look perfect, right!? And you will! Let me share some makeup tips and experience with you in order for you to have the best wedding ever! ;)

1. Use primers to avoid creasing and smudging of makeup products! I especially insist on eye shadow primer, because it really looks awful, when bride's eye shadows gather in the crease or small wrinkles!

2. If your skin is oily you might want to use some mattifying primer on your face before applying foundation. Nothing looks worse than too glowy and oily looking bride!

3. Try to use matte eye shadows! Shimmery eye shadows have particles that reflect light and your makeup may look unattractive on the pictures! ...same is valid for foundation!

4. If you want your makeup to stand out on the pictures use a bit brighter/bolder colors on your eyes and lips! When I look back, I personally thought that my wedding makeup was dramatic, but when I look at the pictures... well, it seems I barely had anything on! :)

5. For me wedding was all about emotions and kissing! :) Emotions - you get nervious, might drop a tear or two and kissing... well, not only kissing your husband, but also relatives who want to congratulate you! The point is, make sure your mascara and lipstick are waterproof!

6. Waterproof or not, your lipstick will fade away in some time! Make sure to carry one with you for touchups.

7. Avoid foundation on your decolletage! It can stain your dress and stress you out!

8. Don't overdo your blush! You don't want to look like those old dolls we used to have back in our childhood! However, a bit of blush is a necessity! A bit of color on your cheeks looks like an instant facelift.

9. Most probably you will have to wake up very early on your special day! ...I had to wake up at 6 a.m.! Conceal your under-eye area to make your eyes look fresh throughout the day!

10. Camera lights will make your makeup melt! To avoid that use powder to set your makeup!

And finally, try to enjoy your wedding! The ceremony and party will fly fast and you indeed will be worrying if everything is allright and if guests are pleased (even if you have a wedding planner)! Well, forget about it! This is YOUR moment, so enjoy!

If you are wondering how to pull of the wedding makeup you see on the pictures, then here is a tutorial for you ;)

Inglot Eye Shadows: Review

2011-06-30T16:15:00.000-07:00

Hello Beautiful!

A couple of weeks ago, I was shopping at Westfield Mall in London and I came across the Inglot store. I have heard so much about Inglot makeup before (especially from EnKoreMakeup on YT), but I actually have never tried it! So, I went into the store, swatched some of the eye shadows on my hand and ... OMG! ...I could not believe it! I fell in love with these eye shadows immediately! As a result, I bought a bunch of eye shadows (gee, I spent around 81 GBP on them, how crazy is that!?) and today I will review them for you! :)

Now, let me show you the eye shadows I bought and their swatches:

1) First, I decided to go for a 10 eye shadow palette. Although it was quite pricy, I was not sure when I will be able to buy more Inglot eye shadows... so I felt kind of greedy and grabbed the max palette I could afford! :) At Inglot they have this Freedom system, where you choose the empty palette you want (they have a large variety, 3, 5, 10, 20 etc) and you fill it in. Here are my eye shadow choices and their swatches.

2) Second, I have to mention that Inglot has both square and circle eye shadows. Now as far as I understood from the talk with one of Inglot employees (her name is Tammy and she is the sweetest and friendliest person I have ever met!), circle eye shadows are going to be discontinued. It is kind of sad, cos these are cheaper than the square ones if bought in a palette. Anyways, I was lucky enough to grab some of these and here they are:

3) Third, I also grabbed some larger circle eye shadows, cos these were on a discount, I suppose these will be discontinued too...not sure though

I personally am in love with Inglot as a brand and quality of the eye shadows! I am sure that the next time I will buy even more eye shadows, try some lipsticks and nail polishes! However, my review would not be a review if I didn't summarize everything together and didn't mention pros and cons, so here it goes ;)

Pros:

* Huge variety of colors (both matte and shimmery ones)

* Multiple palettes available

* Amazing quality and pigmentation

* Not tested on animals

* 2,7 g / 0,09 OZ of product (compared to MAC: 1,5 g/ 0,05 OZ)

* Paraben free formula (don't really know what that is... but I guess that is good :) )

* Good and professional looking packaging

* 20% discount if you are a makeup artist

* Good customer service (I know we can't judge only by one purchase, but Tammy was so nice that I couldn't help mentioning it!)

Cons:

* Quite pricy (circle eye shadows both small and big ones - GBP 9.00; square eye shadows in a palette - GBP 5.00 + freedom system palette - GBP 8.00)

All in all, my rating is 5 out of 5! ;)
