HOW MUCH IS YOUR FACE WORTH?

2011-10-27T12:41:00.000-07:00

Quite some time ago I saw this Tag going around,but i never really did it,so today when i was about to write a post (actually a review) on Chanel Blush,i thought to myself ''why not,let's face it already''. To be honest, the main reason why I've been delaying this Tag for so long is because I'm afraid of the final price. And i was shocked,really shocked! I spend way too much money on make up!! But what calms me down is the fact that i'm not the only one (lame reason,i know)

Review- DIOR VERNIS

2011-10-25T07:27:00.000-07:00

I bought a new Dior nail polish from the Holiday collection 2011 in colour ''651 Merveille''. I immediately fell in love with it. The colour is absolutely gorgeous- it's light red with gold shimmers which are really tiny,but they give a beautiful reflex.
The packaging is typical Dior,but the only thing that i don't really like about Dior polishes is the brush. In my opinion is too flat and the application can get a bit messy,because you get too much polish on the brush. But overall,it's amazing,and i would totally recommend you to get one, I'm definitely getting some more colours from this collection.

2011 HOLIDAY COLLECTIONS

2011-10-22T06:34:00.000-07:00

When i first saw the Chanel 2011 Holiday collection i was amazed,seriously this collection is breathtaking. It's all about red,gold and black colour. Every single piece is perfect for holiday season,especially for Christmas (red and gold colour) and black/gold for New Year.

So,after that i had to check for some other brand collections,and i also really liked Dior,Guerlain, Too faced,Givency (this one is already avaliable in stores),YSL,Lancome. Well,of course i could find some other brands,but i'm mostly interested in Chanel and Dior ones,especially the Chanel one.

Here we go again,Haul time

2011-10-20T13:07:00.000-07:00

Honestly,the main reason why i went to the mall is because i ran out of my favourite tinted moisturizer which is Clinique tinted moisturizer. But then again i ended up buying way too much (ups!)

I use it (Clinique TM) every day because i absolutely love it on my skin. My skin is not perfect,but this moisturizer makes it really nice,it looks fresh,dewy,and it gives me a nice coverage. It doesn't feel heavy on skin at all,and the best part is- smells like coconut and vanilla to me.It kinda reminds me of summer (by the way,it snowed today in Slovenia. In October? Crazy!)

This collection is absolutely gorgeous! And metallic colours are so IN this year.

I bought two Chanel Glossimers in colour 158 and 46, and they are also part of fall collection.
I was amazed with the pigmentation of those two glosses,really good quality.

I'm a huge fan of neutral eyeshadows and this Chanel duo in colour 20 Taupe-delicate is my new favourite everyday duo. The pigmentation is great,and the finish is really silky.

Another Chanel Illusion d'Ombre (colour 83 Illusoire). It's just a shimmery taupe cream eyeshadow with a slightly purple undertone.

The best tinted moisturizer i've ever tried! Definitely recommend it to everyone who don't like heavy foundation.

Catrice mono eyeshadow in ''Starlight Expresso'' and two HM lip glosses in ''Rose Toffee'' and ''Bordeaux nights''

The packaging is super cute with those gold horses. To be honest,I was really impressed with the quality and pigmentation of HM lip glosses,they are actually really good and super cheap.

Of course I had to buy some accessories,i can never get enough of rings,bracelets and necklaces.

Since i'm a huge ''Candle Fan'' i always need new candles,and the wintery scented are my favoutire ones. Glasses are from HM and i also found this really cute mini bag which i'm probably gonna use it for make up or pencils for collage.

And finally i got Bobble water bottle. I've been looking for one for weeks and now i'm a proud owner of the pink one. The black mini bag is for Hm as well.

Furry west from HM. It's super warm,perfect for cold winter days.

Last but not least, my new iPad cover. I need one badly,but the selection is Slovenia is really poor,so i got the pink lather one. It was quite expensive,i paid 50euros for it,but hey,it's for protection.

Chanel,Chanel,Chanel

2011-10-13T11:05:00.000-07:00

I was wondering what do you do when you're have a bad day? Do you go to sleep,read a good book,watch a movie or two,have a tone of chocolate...
Well,when it comes to me,I go shopping! And that never ends like a good idea,especially because i spend way to much money on days like that.
Today was one of those days when i was not in a good mode,every little thing bothered me,so i grabbed my car keys,drove to the shopping mall and i bought a few new make up products,mostly Chanel. I just cannot resist Chanel! The quality is amazing,the packaging super elegant ...and..very expensive unfortunately,that's why my wallet is never happy when i go shopping,but, hey, it definitely makes my day a lot better and brighter! :)

Chanel ''Rosa Cache and Vendetta'',Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Emervielle and Chane lipctick in Exquise

Rosa Cache is a beautiful kinda pinky-nude colour,and it is from fall collection 2011. It has tiny tiny shimmers,but they are barely visiable. I applied 3 coats to get the perfect coverage.
Vendetta is a dark purple colour with blue,purple,pinky smimmer and it's also a very beautiful and appropriate for fall. To me,it almost looks dark blue,but if you look closer you can see that is a really really dark purple colour.

This year Chanel came out with these new creme eyeshadows called Illusion d'Ombre. There are 6 colours,but i picked up Emervielle (for now) which is really pretty nude-soft pink colour appropriate for everyday. I'm gonna wear it with just a liquid liner on upper lash line and some mascara. The price is quite huge(28euros),but,hey,it's Chanel

This lipstick looks really bright in the photo but it's just because of the light,in real life it's a medium pink colour with shimmer.

Vaseline...Tips how to use it

2011-10-08T04:50:00.000-07:00

Petroleum jelly is a classic beauty product,known for ages and it's a great secret weapon when it comes to beauty. It has hundreds of uses,it's affordable and easily avaliable in drougstores and pharmacies.
Also it is a must have for fall (in my opinion),so i'm going to share with you some really good tips how to use it.

Intense Moisturizer
Apply it on elbows,knees,feet,lips,or anywhere else where you have dry skin for a quick deep moisturizing treatment.

Eyelash Treatment
Sweep through eyelashes to protect,contition,and replenish the hairs. Use it before you go to bed.

Brow Gel
Use a makeup spool with a little petroleum on it and brush through brows to keep them in place.

Eyeshadow Primer
Mix equal parts of cream concealer and petroleum jelly to get your own DIY primer.

Highlight
Dab along upper cheekbones,down your nose bridge,over your brown bone and on your cupids bow to creat a glowing,dewy look. But be careful - don't use it too much otherwise you'll look greasy!

Lip Scrub
Mix a little petroleum jelly with some brown sugar or salt,and use it to scrub your lips one or twice a week. They will be soft and moisturized.

Lip Balm
Mix it with a creamy lipstick to get your own coloured lipbalm.

Hair Balm
Rub a TINY,TINY amount of jelly between your fingers and then pat down over any unruly hair for a sleek look or to hide slip ends.

Cuticle and Nail treatment
Rub around cuticles and over nail to keep them shinny,strong and moisturized.Also helps with hand peeling.

Perfume lasting
Apply a light amount of jelly on your neck before putting on perfume to make it last longer.

After-Shave
Use it after shaving to prevent redness,dry skin and ingrown hairs.

Foot Saver
Prevent chaffing from shoes by applying a layer of jelly over areas that are prone to irritation.

Glue Remover
Use a Q-tip coated with jelly and run along your eyelashes to get rid of leftover lash glue.

Top Products for Fall

2011-10-08T04:01:00.000-07:00

Personally, I love fall or autumn a lot,especially all the colours that are changing outisde,warm clothes,my warm and cozy Uggs,scarfs wrapped around my neck,falling leaves,a cup of tea or hot coco,burning candles,.. I could go on and on for houres. But as a make up ''obsessed'' girl, I also love fall makeup. As i was looking through my makeup collection, I decided to make a Fall post with products that i already have in my collection which I think are perfect for fall.
There are a lot of shades of brown,gold,bergundy,and taupe.

Any nail polish in red,brown,taupe,metalic,purple,burgundy,deep blue colour in perfect for fall.

Of course, Naked Palette by Urban Decay is a must have for any season,especially for fall because it contains such a great colour variation.

UD Naked Palette,YSL mascara and Chanel Taupe gris mono eyeshadow

Catrice ''Bohemia'' bronzer,Chanel Vitalumiere Agua,Chanel Tan de solei bronzer,Mac Sincere blush and Catrice ''Rasberry Ice cream'' blush.

Shopaholic days...Beauty and clothing haul

2011-09-29T05:50:00.000-07:00

I was a naughty,naughty girl again! Why? I went shopping,and spent way to much money! I said to myself '' I need those things,it fall time,i need more jumpers,cardigans,..'' And also i splurged on one item,i bought a new Burberry scarf,and i absolutely love it,it literally goes with everything.

Fall Makeup trends

2011-09-26T15:00:00.000-07:00

The latest and the greatest makeup trends for Fall 2011 features smokey eyes,dark red/berry lips,bold brows,dark nails and flawless skin.

As far as the eye makeup goes,the trend for fall is dark,smokey eyes,and metallics eyeshadows. Combine neutral eyes with (dark) red lipstick to get the perfect fall combination which is totally wearable for a daytime. Add a little bit of dark metallic eyeshadow to get a super trendy look for evening. Eyeliner is still used both in thin and thick lines,so don't be afraid to use it. And i have to mention that Spider lashes are also a huge trend this year,and they look absolutely gorgeous with neutral eyes and deep red lips.

And like i said it before,RED is the colour for this fall. Imagine every shade of red,from deep and bright one to plumy shades. And if you don't like to wear bright or deep colour on your lips,neutral,nude,light pink shades are always in. Rock your favourite style!

Skin must be really flawless,think in a very fresh and luminous way.
The aim for this fall's skin is to use foundation yet look as if you have no makeup on, simple in concept but not easy to achieve.

Colour your nails with deep,dark colours of wine,blues,black,metallics again are part of this year's fall look.

Oh,wait,it's just a wishlist,fall 2011 wishlist...

SUMMER 2011

2011-09-17T00:24:00.000-07:00

Why do we have to wait almost whole year to get 2 months of summer? Summer is mine favourite time of the year (well,I also love Christmas time),and i really wish we could have summer all the time. I could wear only summer clothing,less make up,more free time,spending time with friends,going to the beach,late nights,no school,no stress,more ice cream ;) ... Well,i know that's imposible,and in that case I want to share some of my summer photos with you. Unfortunately i always forget to use my camera when something interesting is going on,so i don't have a lot of photos to share,just some random summer photos.

Hope you had a lovely summer! I sure did,and i can honestly say it was the best summer ever! (Huge thanks to all my lovely friends who made it even more special!*)

OUTFIT OF THE DAY and MY NEW TATTOO

2011-09-09T09:45:00.000-07:00

A few days ago i got my first (and probably not last) tattoo. I have it on my right wrist and is says ''Believe''. I wanted to get one since i was 18,but i never had enough courage,and also i wasn't sure what to get,because i really wanted to get one with a meaning. I was a bit scared,because i expected that it will hurt me a lot,but let me tell you- it didn't! I felt nothing special,no pain,no blood,it was actually a pretty funny feeling,kinda tickelish. I can't say enough how happy i'm now,because it looks really good,and i get a lot of comliments.

Let me know what do you think about it! :)

I wore a purple dress from Zara,HM skinny brown belt and a necklace from Hm as well.

DIORSKIN SHIMMER STAR

2011-09-02T07:36:00.000-07:00

A few days ago i finally bought Dior's Shimmer star in Amber Diamond. I've been wanting to get it for the the longest time,but somehow i never really bought it. Till now!
Shimmer star is actually a light-filled pressed powder enriched with jeweled microdus. These five micro-shimmering tones set off sparks of brilliance, highlighting your complexion. The ultra-fine, super-blendable formula virtually fuses with your skin for a sheer, radiant luminosity.
It contains five coloures ivory,champagne,tan,bronze and peach. The colour doesn't really show much,but the fine shimmer does,and it gives you the prettiest shine,and it looks really natural.It reminds me of Chanel Shimmer powder which was in last year's summer edition,but the Chanel one has bigger shimmer in it and it does not look very natural,although i love the Chanel one,especially in the summer time,i apply it over bronzer,and it gives me the prettiest combination.
I blend Shimmer Star over the forehead, temples, cheekbones, and chin. It's cased in a chic, petite, mirrored compact and available in two jewel-like powder palettes of pink and bronze shade (the other one is called Rose Diamond.

WEEKLY HAUL

2011-08-14T06:42:00.000-07:00

Another busy and fun week is over,and i have a ''small'' haul for you to show. Probably the most wanted product of this summer is finally in my hands-iPad 2! I got in on Tuesday and ever since i'm constantly on,trying,learning,discovering new things. And now my iPhone 4 looks sooo small against iPad,it ridiculous.
Also,apart from iPad i got 2 Mac Lipsticks and i was super excited to get it. I got Hue and Cream cup.

Creme Cup and Hue

Revlon (Pink Afterglow lipgloss) and YSL faux cils mascara

This Lush Shower gel is probably the best smelling gel ever. It smells exactly like Honey,I washed the kinds soap bar. I tried it today on my hair,because it's suppose to be used on hair as well,and it's really incredible,my hair smell amazing now,ever after some time now. The Bottle was 23euros. And the Sephora's gel smells amazing as well,but the Lush one is still my favourite one.

HARRY POTTER (non beauty post)

2011-07-14T22:52:00.000-07:00

I still cannot believe it's over,seriously over,for ever! And with that i mean the HARRY POTTER saga,which has been a part of my life for a very looong time,probably since i was 8 years old. I still remember how happy i was when i got my first book,and how excited i was when mum and dad took me to the cinema to see the first movie. Those are really the moments i will never forget! Since then i became a true Harry Potter fan,and to be honest,i was pretty much obsessed with it when i was in primary school. And when i was in London last year,i went to see the Platform 3 and 3/4,i was sooo soo excited and happy.
So,yesterday i went to see the last part of HP and the Deathly Hallows and it was amazing,a movie totally worth the money and 143min of your time! So,if you can,Go see it,you won't be sorry,i promise!

MAKEUP OF THE DAY

2011-07-13T08:41:00.000-07:00

Like i said in previous post,i LOVE summer,and in summer time i honestly wear just a tiny bit of makeup just because i want my skin to be fresh,glowy,natural bronzed and of course healthy.
And my skin has improved a lot this year (hopefully,it stays like that!)
Every morning i wash my skin with my Neurogena Pink Grapefruit daily cleaning gel,than i use moisturizer by Neutrogena as well (the oil free one that you have seen it in lots of my posts), Clinique tinted moisturizer,the Maybelline Affinitone concealer,Soleil tan de Chanel which i Adore!,a bit of Bourjois Chocolate bronzer and Shisedo cheek glow. Sometimes i'll use the Lancome La base face primer,but only if i'm going out in the evening,or going somewhere special and i want my makeup to stay perfectly on all day. On my eyes i always use the UD Primer potion, and lately i've been using my Sleek Storm palette a lot,especially the first four colours in the upper row (you'll be able to see that in the photo below),a tiny bit of Bourjois waterproof black eyeliner (i smudge it softly) and waterproof mascara,today i used the Clinique one. And on my lips i've been wearing a different colou every day,today i wore the Essence lipstick in colour All about cupcake.
