Fall Colective Haul: part 2

Hello again :)

As we are aproaching the new year (4 days left-- whaat?!) and since it is already winter I thought it was time to complete my colective haul.

1. I needed a new bottle of this foundation - Bourjois Flower perfection. This is my go to full coverage foundation and I am not replacing it for anything else.

51 Light Vanilla

2. I decided to try out a few single eyeshadows from Essence.

03 Frosted apple

70 Fox in the box

3. Another addition to my Color Tattoos from Maybelline. 

35 On and on bronze

4. What would a haul be without some nailpolishes, am I right?
I found the Holiday collection from Essence and had to get all of these.

Essence Holiday Collection nail polishes

Essence Happy Holidays - 01 let it snow

5. Two new lipsticks from Essence, since I haven't tried this collection at all.

Essence Lipsticks

6. And some other eyebrow and eye stuff.. some needed and other not at all.

Essence I love stage eyeshadow base

Essence eyebrow pencil
Essence Liquid Ink eyeliner
Essence Longlasting eyeliner

I hope you enjoyed scrolling through these pictures. 

I couldn't write as much about these products since they are pretty new and I don't have much of an opinion whether I love them or not. 

In that case I hope you are having a great holiday time.

Holiday Makeup - Sarah Hyland

Hello lovelies,

Today I have a celebrity inspired/recreated makeup look that is perfect for new years eve or any other party and dinner occasion you might have coming up.

A while ago I stumbled upon some lovely pictures of this Modern Family actress.
It's the beautiful Sarah Hyland posing on the Red Carpet for the Emmy Awards a few months ago.

You can see my interpretation of the look in the few pictures below.

I love this look, because of the easiness.
It's a neutral eye makeup with a bold lip. In my opinion very classic and appropriate for many occasions and also it's very easy.

What I used :

Face

1. Maybelline AffiniMat Foundation
2. Catrice Matt Face Powder
3. Catrice LE Blusher Stick - 02 Daredevil
4. Catrice LE liquid iluminating base
5. Bourjois Chocolate bronzer

Eyes 

1. Inner Corner -Gladys White from the Sleek Respect pallete
2. On the lid - Cameo Cream from the Sleek Respect palette
3. In the crease - Motown Mink from the Sleek Respect palette
                        - Essence's eyeshadow in 35 Party all night
4. Brow bone -  Cameo Cream
5. Lashline - First Bark and Noir form the Sleek Au Naturel palette

I finished up with some mascara on my lashes and I used Maybelline's Collosal volume express.
You can also add false eyelashes that is of course going to glam up this look even more.

Lips

I created the bold dark lip with a lipstick that I have had for a while. It's Gosh 154 Burgundy.
I got it last year while I was obsessing over burgundy lipsticks.

And for all of you that don't like maintaining a dark lip I have an alternative. You can use any nude lipstick that you own in your collection.
In the picture above I used a plain glossy lipbalm from H&M.

Sarah Hyland looking cute and rocking this makeup look

I hope you liked this look and if you try it out please tweet me or comment below - it would make my day :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day, 

Divna

MeMeMe - Eye Inspire Eyeshadow Trio

Hey lovely readers :)

Živjo drage bralke :)

On this casual Sunday I have another review for you in English and Slovene.

This time I am reviewing a new brand that I haven't tried before. It is MeMeMe and I have heard of it before by watching a lot of british Beauty vloggers.

Last month Anja from Moja Drogerija (click away) asked us to pick a quad/trio from this brand to review and I decided to pick 04 Desire Eyes.

I was very atracted to this shade, because it's green colors reminded me of fall/autumn and since I don't have similar eyeshadow colors in my collection (schooker), it was an easy pick. 

MeMeMe Trio - 04 Desire Eyes

Tokrat ocenjujem novo blagovno znamko, ki je do zdaj še nisem poskusila. Ta je MeMeMe za katero sem slišala le preko nekaterih pritanskih Lepotnih vloggerjev.

Prejšnji mesec Anja iz Moja Drogerija (klik), nam je dala na izbiro za oceno quad ali trio senčk te blagovne znamke in sem se odločila, da si izberem odtenek 04 Desire Eyes.

Ta odtenek me je zelo privlačil, ker so me zelene barve spomnile na jesen in ker nimam podobnega odtenka v moji kolekciji, je bila izbira lahka.

So lets dig into the details :)

Torej, gremo k podrobnostim :)

Packaging:

The shadows are in a round black container with a seethhrough lid which has the name of the brand on it (as you can see in the pictures).It reminds me a lot of MAC packaging (judging from pictures) and that excites me a lot. I also like that you can easily see the colors through the lid and I like that it closes well and securly.

Pakiranje:

Senčke so v okrogli črni posodi s prozornim pokrovom, ki ima na njem ime blagovne znamke (kot lahko vidite na slikah).

Spominja me na MAC embalaže (sodeč po slikah), kar me je navdušilo še bolj. Všeč mi je tudi, da lahko enostavno vidimo barve skozi pokrov. Pravtako pa da se dobro in varno zapre. 

Desire Eyes: up close

Enough talking about the outside, we all know real beauty lies on the inside. 

Dovolj govorjenja o zunanjosti, saj vsi vemo, da prava lepota leži v notranjosti.

Eyeshadow colors:

All the eyeshadows are shimmery, the vibrant green though is a little less. The lighter and darker mossy greens have gold reflex to them, where as the vibrant green has more of a golden green reflex. 

Barve senčil :

Vse senčila imajo "shimmer finiš", medtem ko živahno zeleni odtenek malo manj. Prva dva odtenka imajo zlati refleks, živahno zelena pa bolj zeleno-zlati refleks.

Application:

I love the formula of these eyeshadow. I found it very easy to apply them. You can blend them to get a more settle smokey look or build them up to get a more night out and sexy smokey eye. I also noticed that there wasn't as much fall out as there usually is with other eyeshadows I often use, and that was a plus. 

Nanos:

Obožujem formulo teh senčil. Ugotovila sem, da je nanos zelo enostaven. Zelo lahko se jih zabriše, da bi dobili bolj vsakodnevni Smokey, pravtako se da pigmentacijo dodajati, da bi dobili večern in seksi Smokey look. Opazila sem tudi, da ni bilo veliko opadanja senčil na licih, kar je velik plus, saj ni potrebno dodatno popravljanje podlage v tem predelu.

Pigmentation:The vibrant green dissapointed me in this aspect, in comparisson to the other two greens which are impressively much more pigmented. And as they say a picture is worth a 1000 words - you can see it all in the picture of the swatches.

Pigmentacija:

Živahno zelena me je razočarala v tem pogledu v primerjavi z drugima dvema, ki sta izjemno pigmentirana. 

In kot pravijo slika je vredna 1000 besed - vse se lepo vidi na slikah spodaj.

Swatch: with primer

Without primer

Staying power:

I used the eyeshadows with different primers and eyeshadow bases and overall I was satisfied with the staying power. The eyeshadows stayed well on my lids, they didn't crease and the colors stayes vibrant.

Obstojnost:

Senčila sem uporabila z različnimi podlagami in kremnimi senčili. Na splošno sem bila zadovoljena z obstojnostjo. 

Senčila so se odlično izkazala na mojih vekah, saj se niso pogreznila v gubice veke. Barve so tudi po nekaj urah ostale živahne.

The look I created

In conclusion if you are looking for a nice eyeshadow trio to carry aroung in your makeup bag, I reccommend you to get this one.

You can find all the different shades if you click this link, which will lead you to Anja's site Moja Drogerija.si where it retails for 8,30€.

Skratka, če iščete lep Trio senčil za prenašanje v vaši kozmetični torbici, vam priporočam tole senčilo. Lahko najdete vse različne odtenke, če kliknete to povezavo, ki vas bo popeljala na strani Moja Drogerija.si, kjer se prodaja za 8,30 €.

Thank you for reading, make sure you check out Moja Drogerija, and have a nice day, Divna.

Hvala za branje, poskrbite, da boste preverili senčila in drugo ponudbo na Moja drogerija.si.

Lep dan,

March Favorites

Hello Beauty world!
Today I am writing about my most loved and reached for products for the past month aka my March Favorites :)
This time the photos will be a little bit of a lower quality, since my Canon camera does not want to obey me.
Anyways let's just jump into it ;)

Body Care:
1. Planet spa Indulgence - Thailand lotus flower & champagne - velvety smooth bath elixir 
I have always been more of a shower girl rather than a bath girl. But lately I have started to get more into the bath/relax regime.
And that is why I have fallen in love with this product. It smells amazing and also the smell is not at all overpowering, it's very relaxing and soothing. And it makes my skin very soft after I get out of the bath.

2. Christina Aguilera - Inspire - body lotion
I've had this product for quite a while. It's one of those products that when you get it you really love it and use it all the time, but than you try something new and completely forget about your previous beloved product. Well that happened with this. This month I "rediscovered" this lotion. 
It's a very soft and moisturizing lotion. What I love the most about it is that it absorbs into the skin very quickly after the application.

3. Avon Pur Blanca - Elegance
This is my favorite spring scent. Since I got it I haven't been using any other parfumes and I think I won't stop until I use it up.
I am not very good at describing scents, but I'll try :) It is a very suttle floraly scent, I would describe it as a clean scent (yes as in clean clothes) :D
Well there you go. 

4. Avon Senses - mystique-  body spray - sensual rose gardenia, jasmine, peach & vanilla
Oh if I start with the romantic story of how I met Mr. Body Spray, this blog post would not have an end.
But on a serious note though I really love body sprays... A lot !
And this one is just a perfect scent that just reminds me instantly of flowers and sunny spring days. It's just lovely.

Skincare & Makeup
5. Avon Solutions - winter night cream
This has been the prefect nourishing night cream for this month, since my skin has been transitioning from winter into "warmer" spring (it's not really springy yet in Slovenia ... please send us some sun).

It a thick cream that gently moisturizes my skin after cleansing and washing.
I love the softness that it gives to my skin after I apply it, and also I love how my skin feels the morning after. 

6. Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream - for all skin types with SPF 20 - 00 Fair rose
I have been trying very hard to give my skin a breather this month and I have tried my best to use as little makeup as possible. Also I have switched from heavy/full coverage foundation to a light coverage BB cream.
It is a lovely product and I love that I don't feel like I have anything on my skin. It is pretty moisturizing, but if you have extremely dry skin I would not recommend it just because it does tend to stick to dry patches. But that is the only downside. And since my skin has been great and not dry at all I have been very satisfied with this BB cream. 

7. Essence kiss care love lip balm - 01 fruit crush
This product has been a dream come true for me. I love a moisturizing lip balm, but it's a whole other world when it's a little like a lipstick and it smells like a bubble gum. That last sentence pretty much explains why I love this product. 

8. Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base
This Essence primer has been my loyal companion, since I bought it and it will be soon gone. That makes me very sad, but at the same time happy, because I'll get to repurchase it :)

9. Essence Blossoms etc... - multi colour powder/highlighter - Flower Power
After staying matt for the whole winter, this month I decided to switch it up a bit and use some highlighter. 

And this one is amazing. Not just because of the cool pattern but also because it has a very suttle shimmer to it. The particles are barely wisible. 
I love to put it on my nose, on the chin and on top of my cheekbones for a nice dewy finish. 

10. Essence Sun Club - blondes/lighter skin - all over shimmer for eyes, face & body - Ibiza sun
A multi-functional product. Who doesn't love those?! Well I certainly do.
I have been using this one mostly as eyeshadows and maybe once or twice I used it for adding glow to my cheeks. 

11. Avon Ideal Luminous blush - Peach
This blush has been my favorite blush for more than a month now. It's is actually a shimmery version of my favorite blush of all time, which is Essence's blush in Adorable.
Just like the name says it is a peachy blush with tiny gold shimmer, perfect for spring. It makes your cheek stand out and gives them a lovely glow. 

12. Essence Smokey Eyes pencil - 03 Are you hot? 
Yes I am (just kidding).
This has been another rediscovery within my makeup collection. It a very chubby pencil and also very creamy. I love applying it as a base for a smokey eye and also as eyeliner on the upper lash line. 

13. Essence Eyebrow stylish set
I have a funny story about this product.
When I bought it I was like oh great it has two colors, I'll probably use the darker one first (since I have black hair) and I can use the lighter for my crease. Well things didn't go as planned at all as you might notice in the pictures.
Anyways this is my holy grail product for brows. It's the perfect brown for my brows and I love it very much.

14. Essence Get big Lashes mascara - volume curl
This mascara has surprised me very much. I bought it just to try it out and it's now stuck with me forever.
I love that it has a big chubby wand, and that it is curled. It coats my lashes perfectly and gives them an equal amount of volume and length. 

And that is all for today's post.
I hope you liked my favorites, maybe we had some mutual ones:)
What are your favorites? 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day,
Dee. 

Essence's 17-piece Set

Hello Beauty World ;)

A while ago me and my friend came across an offer on one of the Slovenian's  discount sites. It was about an  Essence Set of makeup. And if there is anything I deeply love about makeup, it is Essence stuff. And also I knew that these products were a great add to my collection and also I got a beautiful see-thorough makeup bag with it (I've been wanting one of those for a while).

Here is the content of this lovely set:

EYES:

1. Essence eyeshadow - 33 it's my party

- matt effect, super-soft & long lasting eyeshadow
This is a beautiful teal color and goes perfectly for spicing up a natural look.

2.Essence Quattro eyeshadow - 01 Ciao Bella!

I was super excited to see this palette in my set, since it is one of my all time favorite quattros from Essence.

3.Essence Long lasting eye pencil - 14 Think Khaki!

- Super soft eye pencil for precise application, long-lasting.
Goes perfectly with the neutral palette.

4. Essence Black mania - carbon black volume mascara

- Gives lashes ultimate volume, with carbon black pigments for intensely stunning black lashes.

LIPS:

1. Essence Lipliner - 01 Soft Rose

- Soft and precise application, long-lasting.
This lipliner  is perfect to create a nice pinky-nude lip. 

2.Essence Stay with me longlasting lipgloss - 06 Berry me

- A colourful lipgloss for glossy lips.
This glosses are great not just because of their staying power, but also because of their great color payoff.

3.Essence lipgloss - 22 Italian lover

- A lipgloss for glamorous shine.
This was one of  my favorite lip glosses years ago. I think I repurchased this shade at least 10 times. I was very glad to see it in this set and go down memory lane.

4.Essence Cream gloss with cocoa butter - 02 Cocoa butter

- Moisturizing cream gloss for smooth and glossy lips (smells like cocoa).
Amazing product! I can't believe that I never purchased it in the past. It is surprisingly the most moisturizing lip gloss I own.

NAILS: 

1. Essence Nude glam nail polish - 01 Cotton candy

- A nail polish that is perfect for a trendy nude look. For higher coverage apply twice.

2.Essence Colour&Go quick drying nail polish - 51 Mellow Yellow

- Nail polish with a flat brush - quick dry: trendy nail style within seconds!
It goes on very smoothly and it has amazing fine yellow glitter in it. Perfect for spring and summer.

3.Essence Multi dimension XXXL shine nail polish - 66 Most Wanted

- Special formula for long-lasting, high covering & extreme glossy finish.
I love the glossyness of this nail polish. 

4.Essence Glitter topcoat 

- For an extra sparkling manicure result. Extends the lasting power of the nail polish.
I have been wearing it over Most Wanted and I love the combination. Sadly I am saying goodbye to darker colors since spring is around the corner(it's sadly still snowing in Slovenia)!

FACE STUFF + NAIL STICKERS: 

1. Essence Nail Art sticker 

- Self-adhesive nail stickers

2.Essence Nail Art tattoo

- Super thin nail tattoo sticker

3.Essence pure skin 

- Anti-spot T-zone mask. Essence pure skin with clearderm - complex for beautiful and pure skin.
I am looking forward to giving this a go.

4.Essence Pure mineral powder make-up - 02 Soft Sand

- 100% minerals, no preservatives, no perfume, soft like powder, covering like a foundation, long-lasting.

This is a lovely mineral foundation. It is perfect for my skin and I love the natural finish of it. Sadly it is a little too dark for me right now, but I think that it will be perfect for summer when I really don't like using too much makeup.

The last piece of the set is the clear makeup bag.
This set was only 9, 90 € and I don't regret at all the purchase.
I hope there will be other offers like this again :)
I hope you enjoyed the read :)
Leave me a comment and have a nice day,
Dee ;)

My Top 5 Fall Makeup Looks

Celebrities truly inspired me to do this blog today. 

I don't know about you, but when I don't have an idea what to do for my makeup I love to check out some pictures of celebrities. 

These top 5 looks that I have today for you are worn by people that truly inspire me with their style and makeup. 

Also all of these looks can be used as day and night time looks. 

1. Simple Lily Collins 

I love Lily Collins and especially I love all her looks.
This one here is a simple more daytime look.
I love how you can achieve a great put together look just with some blush, mascara and lipstick.

Products I used to recreate this look :
- Avon Invisible light corrector on my eyelids to give them a glow
- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara
- Avon Ideal Luminous blush in Peach
- Catrice Ultimate Shine lipstick in 070 It's Robin Wood (small amount)

2. Sarah Hyland

How can you not fall in love with Sarah Hyland's big eyes.
This look that she is wearing is perfect for fall. It is smokey and mysterious in the eyes and it's simple on the lips and cheeks.

Products I used to recreate this look :

- Coastal Scents 88 Warm palette (use any brown-grey shimmery color) 

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara

- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer

- Alverde lipstick in 30 Silky Nude

3. Nina Dobrev

The Vampire Diaries beauty amazes me when she plays Elena and has little to no makeup in the Tv show, but she's even more amazing when she glams up her look.
This smokey brown eye is amazing and I love how they focused mainly on her eyes and left the cheeks and lips pretty natural, but still with glow.

Products I used to recreate this look :
- Sleek I-divine palette - STORM
- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara
- Avon Ideal Luminous blush in Peach (use it very lightly)
- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer
- Any lip balm that has a glossy finish, I used my Labelo 

4. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has impressed me with many of her looks lately. From all of them I chose to put this one out because it is different to all the others. It is a blue eyeshadow look with a nude lip.

I would choose darker blues.

Products I used to recreate this look :

- Use any blue eyeshadows that compliment your eye color, I don't own a blues eyeshadow palette so if you know a great one please recommend it to me 

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara

- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer

- Revlon matt lipstick in Nude attitude 

5. Katy Perry

Katy Perry has an amazing range of looks that you can choose to recreate and to a makeup addict like me she is a goddess because she is so inspiring. I love her funky looks as much as I love her very glamorous Old Hollywood looks.

Products I used to recreate this look : 

- Sleek I-divine palette - AU NATUREL

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara

- Avon True Colour blush in Soft Plum

Quick Web Haul + review

Hello there :)
Today I decided to stop procrastinating and finally sit down to write this blog.
A while ago I got a few things from Licila.si .

Products I got :
1. The Sleek limited edition palette - Glory
2. A BYS lipgloss 
3. Everyday Minerals long handle Kabuki brush

Review: 

1. Sleek Glory palette 

I fell in love with this palette the moment I saw it. It has a neutral range of colors and plus a colorful range. 

I love both although I use more the neutral ones. Also the pigmentation of the eyeshadows is great. 

I will do an detailed review with swatches soon.

2. BYS lipgloss

This product came as a gift from the web shop. 

I love the color and all but it is just not my type of lipgloss. It has a lot of sparkle and glitter which is more suitable for a night out look.

3. The Kabuki brush

I don't even know where to begin with this, but I was so excited to find this brush on sale. 
I've been wanting for a while to invest some money into a nice face brush and this was the perfect match for me. For a log time I wanted the Everyday Minerals flat top brush, but this one was on sale at the moment so I went ahead an got it. 

I'm extremely satisfied with the brush. It work amazing with my foundations and I love the finish it gives me. I love that it is a dense and soft brush. I simply love everything about it and I recommend to you to purchase it and try it. 

So that is it for today,
xoxo D.
