VELVET MATTES

Shine & Glow

Hello lovelies,

it has been a while since I made the post as a make up tutorial using drugstore make up only.

Check out my previous posts, similar to this one. I am sure you will find some inspiration for creating the look using drugstore products. You can find them HERE and HERE!

This look is spring/summer inspired. The previous ones are more autumnal.

So if you like fresh looking make up with shiny and vibrant lips this post is definitely for you :)

For this look I used only Catrice make up. The look is really easy, quick and affordable. I think that anyone can recreate it, and what is more important, it will suit anyone.

If you want to know how I achieved this look, please continue reading :)

Drugstore lipsticks

Hello lovelies,
as a huge fan of lipsticks, I thought to share with you my drugstore collection. I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss, even though I use it from time to time, mostly during spring and summer. But for me, lipstick is crucial beauty product. When a woman is asked about her ultimate must have beauty product, most of them answer-concealer, mascara and foundation. My answer is lipstick. I can go out for days without any make up on, but I would always have a lipstick with me. Lipstick can be worn on its own in a beautiful way, but it can be perfect touch to a full face make up.

Nowadays, wide range of lipsticks is growing so fast, that you just can not decide which one to choose. There are too many great shades from different brands. There are too many great formulas. No more drying lipsticks. We can see that many brands work on the moisturizing ones, but still pigmented enough to be different than lip balm. I'm just crazy about lipsticks, and can not decide if I prefer lipstains, velvet matte or moisturizing ones. Drugstore lipsticks are inexpensive and amazing!
My must have shade is, of course, Red. But I love every shade. You can not expect anything else from make up junkie. From trendy brights, classic nudes, vampy dark purple and burgundy shades, to black ones. I love them all. Now my favourite drugstore lipsticks are by Rimmel, Bourjois and L'oreal. Rimmel ones are so affordable and amazing.

Here is my collection ;)

Smokey mood

Hello lovelies,

here's my recent make up look. Although I'm a huge fan of red lips, I do love nude lips as well, especially in combination with smokey eyes. And when it comes to smokey eyes, you can be creative as hell. But my ultimate favourite combination is definitely golden-black smokey eyes.

The lipstick I'm wearing is L'oreal Colour Riche Star Secrets (Brilliant De Rose-328)

New in/Make up and Stuff

Last post was all about clothes that I have bought recently, and this one is about make up and other stuff.
 I'll start with make up products  first ;)
These are all bought recently. I didn't have much time to take all the pictures of products bought a month ago.

 I'm not massive fan of blush, and I do not use it at all. Rarely ever. This one was cheap, and I liked the texture, so I thought to give it a try ;)

 Lovely product, but, as you can see I used only this forth shade, the palest one would be probably right for the winter, and the third for the July-August when I get a bit darker. But the first two shades won't be used, I'm sure ;)

 Great product, for lips, for hands, for legs. I use it all over my body after shower, massage it into the skin, when it feels dehydrated.

 Immediately after buying this lipgloss from Revlon, I tried it on and took a couple of shots, to show you how wonderful it is. It is greatly pigmented! I do not wear any make up here, except this lipgloss, but this color would be intensified when I make a post with some lovely eye make up :D
p.s. This is just one thin coat of the lipgloss, my lips are full, so I didn't want to put another layer, or use lip pencil, because my lips would get giant, and it would look unproportional with my small head :P
I bought these two shades, the cooler one is fuschia pink, and the warmer one is coral pink. In shades 303 and 501. There was bright red shade, and one amazing nude shade, but as I have got tons of red lipsticks in all possible shades, I chose to skip that one.

 Some of the jewelry :) I made a similar post a couple of months ago, where I put tons of jewelry pictures, so I chose to put only the most recent bought ;)

 Wonderful Parfois bracelet. I bought 2, to wear them on stage, they look fantastic!

And, to finish off with Dr. Scholl's^®High Heel Insoles. These are the brand new, but I bought tons of these, and I have it on every single heel I own. These insoles are proven to improve the way you feel in heels. The unique design helps prevent foot aches and pains caused by high heels two inches and higher. Plus, the ultra-soft gel arch shifts pressure off the ball of your foot while providing guaranteed all-day comfort.
Well, ladies, if you are non-stop in heels, you need these, believe me!

These are the brand new Dr. Scholl's Callus Reducers. Well, I used them for ages, and I bought the new ones. I brush my feet once a week, and make a bath with some oils in it, and then finish off with the creme.
Once you come home, wearing high heels, you need to make a feet bath, and use these reducers firstly. Especially in the summer, when your feet are exposed. I hate when I see a girl's dry and rough feet, it looks awful. It takes time, I know, bit it's for yourself. I do this once a week, for about half an hour, and it makes my feet look smooth and polished. I'm a bit mad about skin care, and home rituals :)

So, that was it.

Hugs and kisses
