Current obsessions =)

Good evening!

I just got an idea to write about my current obsessions. I'm just really boored so I hope this post is not going to be boring for you. :D And btw, makeup is obviously my top obsession, so these are right after makeup :D

Okay, here we go!!!



Twilight
I know, I suck but I just loooove the movie (Edward's sooooo freakin' hot&gorgeous&sexy&...). I've already read the first, the second and the third book and I'm unbearably in love with them!!! It's just sooo damn amazing and unbelievable and romantic and...I'm obsessed with it like A LOT!




MAC
You probably already figured it out that I became totally obsessed with MAC cosmetics. No wonder, I mean it's awesome! Their products are very high quality and amazing color range and and and....everything about MAC is amazing! My fave from the ones that I own is definitely my Dazzleglass, it's just loooove ♥



Hello Kitty
I know it's for little kids but since MAC came out with the Hello Kitty Collection I fell in love with it again. I loved it about 3-4 years ago but than thought I was too grown up for it and started to think it's stupid. But I just couldn't resist falling in love with it again. =)



The Sims 2
This game is like one of the best they've ever made. I mean seriously, it's genius. My favourite part is building a lot (prefer to build houses to community lots) and I love to play with cheats as well. :D I can't wait for The Sims 3 to come, it's gonna be sooo much fun!



High heels
I'm such a shorty, I'm only 153cm tall, which is like very very small. :/ I really hate that, so my best friends are high heels! I wear them all the time outside school (it's just not convenient and everyone would think I'm a whore or something) I just can't live without them, it's something I'll always have & love from the bottom of my soul. =)



Bright colours
I don't know where that came from but lately I'm crazy about everything that's bright & vivid, especially clothes & accessories. I just don't wanna be all dark and common, let's go bright!!! Let the rainbow erase all misery!


Shopping!
Not surprised right? :D I'm a terrible shopaholic, I go shopping whenever I get a chance (though I don't get many of these chances...) and really take my time & have fun.

Cosmopolitian
You probably know this magazine, it's also one of my loves I can't live without. It's like the most perfect magazine for me; it's about fashion & makeup...cool huh? =)

Ribbons
everywhere. I'm obsessed with like ribbon clips and headbands, ribbons on the shoes, purses, on the pencil case,...everywhere. I think it's sooo cute!

Sunglasses
The ones I love the most are the biiiig ones! But not as big that you look like a fly, but just the right size. In my opinion it's one of the best trends of the past 2,3 years.

Earrings
This is my obsession for a loooooong time...I'm obsessed with long earrings since I was 8 or 9. My mom didn't allow me to wear them but than I got them as a birthday gift from my friends I said to my mom that I can't insult her not wearing them, so she allowed me. Pretty cool don't you think? :D

Purses, bags
I love the big ones especially (the purses I mean xP). I think they're very convenient cuz the fit a lot of stuff + they look amazing and go with everything. I really want to get one or two big bags urgently. =)

Chewing gums
I cannot live without these. My favourite are Airwaves Black Mint. I'm really addicted to them, I can't stand the bad taste in my mouth. Yuck!

Twitter
If you follow me on twitter you probably know what I'm talking about. I think it's soo cool to share your thought with everybody else. If you don't know what twitter is, check it out! www.twitter.com

Facebook
You got me at this one too. It's just sooo many great things to do there besides meeting new people and share your thought. There are lots of quizzes, and than stuff like "pick your 5 products you don't leave house without"... It's cool! www.facebook.com

My nails
I know what you're probably thinking...it's not that way. But since I had them done at a salon I just can't stand them not to be pretty. I spend a lot of money for them (45€) but I know it's worth it. And I also love to paint them at home cuz now that they're long and nice I can do whatever I want.

Ice coffee
You'll say I suck. But I really don't cuz I drink ice coffee without that ingredient called I don't know how. Which is a lot better than the normal coffee and it's delicious! Yummy!


Well, I think that's pretty much it though I have feeling I forgot to write like a million of things but it doesn't matter, I'll edit it later if necessary.



Luv u guys!

What's in my small purse?

Hello!!

It's been requested like a month or two ago by ItsKristinatime. I'm soooo terribly sorry it took me sooo long to do it, but finally here it is :D






I'm also going to do a video on what I carry in my big bag so wait for that also. =) I don't carry a lot in my small purse because when I have one of them I usually don't need a lot of stuff, makes sence (kinda...:P). Sometimes if it's sunny I would also have my sunglasses inside and a cleanser for them. And about the makeup, I would usually have just some of the products that I have on, like powder, liner, gloss and lipstick. I forgot to mention cleansing whipes that I didn't have in that purse, so I also have like a travel size cleanings whipes with me also. Oh and also my keys, forgot about those too, sorry guys.


That's all for today, I think I gave you a lot to watch and read so stay cool!

Byeee!

Review: ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base

Hey all!!!

I got a request on YT by: akimemakeup. She wanted me to do a review on one of my life savers product, ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base. Here's the video, but you can also check it out on my YT channel.







This product right here has a very creamy texture and it's very easy to blend. You don't need a brush to apply it cuz it goes really good with a finger tip as well (I prefer fingers to a brush, but I have to use a brush because of my nails, so I don't scratch the product with them).
It has tiny little shimmers to it which are not disturbing so you can easily use it for matte looks also. the scent of it is very unusual to me, I mean I can't describe. But I know that it I like it. =)
The amount you get for its price is absolutely ridiculous (I think it was around 5€ or so which is about $7 I believe). You get 5 ml in this small container and believe me or not, I have it for almost a year and I'm not 1/4 done of it. It's really like huge and it's sooo cheap + it's awesome!

This could be a very good alternative for UDPP or TFSI and other good quality pricey bases so if you have a chance and you're looking for a good base than you should try it.


Well, I think that's all about this base. I hope this review was helpful to you guys and I'll talk to you all later!

Byee!

Easter inspired makeup look

Good day!

It's beautiful weather here, it's warm and the sun is shining...it's a very nice Easter Sunday. So I thought I would do like an Easter inspired makeup tutorial for you guys. =)

It was very hard to pick out the colours. When I think of Easter I think of green, red, yellow, blue, purple and pink. But if I used all of these colours I would get more of a rainbow than easter look. So I decided to pick out only two colours and I ended up with pink & blue. I wanted to add some green also but it wouldn't match very well. Anyways, this is what I came up with:







For this look I used:

- ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base
- Modellite Eyeshadow palette: pinks
- Bella Oggi Make up Kit: Blue
- L'oreal Paris StarSecrets kit: Brunette Harmony
- Maybelline Expression Kajal: black
- Maybelline Volum' Express waterproof mascara
- L'oreal Glam Shine 6h lipgloss: Lasting Coral
- Essence Crystal Liner: Beach party


I hope I gave you, makeup addicted guys something to play with during Easter and of course I hope you like it. If you're going to do your own version of it I'd really like to see it so let me know. You can show it on YT also in a picture form (if that is the word xD).


Well anyways, that's all. Now I'm gonna do some cycling to get my body in a better shape...have a great Easter Sunday and eat as many easter eggs as you can xP joke joke :P

My Skin Care routine

Another late post, sorry guys. I just didn't have time to post these when I did videos. Well, today we're going to talk about my skin care, so how I take care of my face, what do I use...




For my skin I use those stuff, mostly twice a day (exept for the moisturizer and Garnier thing):

- Neutrogena Visibly clear 2-in-1 wash& mask
- Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser
- Clinique DDMG
- Nivea Young bye-bye spot! SOS stick
- Garnier S.O.S. Anti-pickel-stift



I changed my routine a while ago so I'm gonna stick to it and see how my skin is going to react and I'll let you know if I brak out or something. As I mentioned I'm looking for a new moisturizer to try out. I'm only using it on my cheeck and around my nose where I have dry skin. If you have any recommandations for me, I'm open to them. =)



I think I have enough for one day, I'm probably going to bed and post the one that left tomorrow cuz I'm barley awake xD


Anyways, enjoy and stay cool! I'll talk to you later!

Fun Purple look

Hey all!!!

This one is late also, a video was posted a few days ago but whatever xD Well, I did have fun cuz I was so excited to use Shadowy Lady e/s from MAC :P:D







For this super purple look I used:

- ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base
- BarryM Dazzle Dust: 33
- MAC e/s: Shadowy Lady
- Maybelline Expression Kajal: black
- Maybelline Volum' Express mascara: black waterproof
- Avon ColorTrend Duo e/s: Hot chocolate
- Essence Crystal eyeliner: 02 Dazzling silver
- LipFusion: Sugar

If you want to watch it in better quality than check it out on my channel on YT!


I know, these post are very short and probably boooring but I have to update my blog a little bit. You guys can give me some ideas on what could I write about, I would be very very happy if you did =)


I love you everyone sooo freakin' much, you guys don't know how much!!!

How to: Foundation application

Good day everyone!!! Well, it's more of an evening here but, who cares xD. Yeah, a bit late but still here it is a post about foundation application =)





For this demo I used:

- Maybelline Affinitone perfecting&protecting foundation (03 Light Sandbeige)
- Maybelline Cover Stick (21 Fair)
- Maxfactor Under-eye concealer (303 Ivory)
- cheap blush I got in a gift set


For the foundation I always prefer brush to a sponge because sponge absorbs a lot of product so a good part of foundation stays in it and you spend way more than you would. I really like the brush I use for foundation (Paris Berlin 28 brush) so I highly recommend you to get a good one.

This tutorial is more for like everyday (well, if you have flawless skin than it can also be for special occasions), but if you want something for formal stuff like dances, proms, weddings... you should use a face primer, full coverage, contour and highlight your face,... but I'm gonna show you those cool stuffis another time okay? (it's actually because I don't have a contouring powder and a primer xD).

Well, I hope it helped you out and if you have any further questons let me know, send me a message on YouTube or something...contact me =)


That's all folks! Have a great weekend!
