L'Oreal Super Liner So Couture

This product is wonderful! You know I've been on a hunt for a precise, thin, liquid eyeliner...well I found perfection. Of course when I didn't even look for it. So I saw, and I grabbed one immediately. Since then we're inseparable. It's a great BLACK colour ( not grey, green or other weird shades ), thin and draws a beautiful line, intensive after a few strokes and lasting. I recommend this to all of you cat-eye ladies ;)

#2014BloggerChallenge Autumn makeup look

Yes! I am so on time with this post:D *proud pat on the shoulder* :)
This time I will show you my absolute favourite makeup look for the autumn time. I wear it almost every second day ( and not on every because of the lipsticks that I vary ) and loving it every minute and get compliments on it. It is easy to do and it's a nice comfortable wear. And yes I do realize I forgot powder bur after this mistake I started to use none, so I like it that way now ( because my skin is getting dryer ) but if I use any, it's the Rimmel Stay Matte in 005 Silky Beige.

I was using: essence and ebelin brushes
                  Garnier BB cream in medium
                  Maybelline Affinitone concealer in 03 sand
                  Avon eye palette in cocoa glow
                  Maybelline the colossal volume eypress "cat eye"
                  Isana lipbalm from Rossmann
                  Rimmel Kate moss 107

#2014BloggerChallenge Rimmel Kate Moss 107

I've seen this  on so many girls ( including Zoella ) and heard so many good things about this lipstick, that I knew I had to get it. Yes, this is the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick, the holy 107. I guess for most of you this is nothing new, but those  who haven't heard about it I have to tell ( I don't know how many hundredth I am :D ) it is AMAZING. For autumn this is the perfect plumy-burgundy , but I was drawn to it because I could see how this can be transferred to any season of the year ( through Zoe ). I have to admit it looks different on me but now that I thought of it I think it is the same with every shade on every single person :)

Yes it goes perfectly with my room as well ;)

#2014BloggerChallenge tutorial...

I knoooow....I'm late with this. But it's here. Actually I didn't have the time to do a proper tutorial because I have to study and the natural light goes away so quickly..:( But here are some pictures to reminisce about summer. I'm sure you figured it out that I am a big fan of Zoella's style and this dress just reminden me of her. My hair is simply curled, and my makeup is just some purple,shimmery shades with a cat-flick and lots of mascara. I don't remember wearing lipsticks as it was a chilled out day. This is my tutorial, perfect for those of you who still have nice weather.
This makes me miss summer so much!!! But HEY be excited for autumn and the huge sweaters!!:D

ebay brushes and new eyeshadow

Good evening ladies ( and gentlemen?...don't think so :D )! Today I thought we would hop back on the makeup road, and I think the perfect way is that I show my guite recent brush and eyeshadow purchase.
Now, I saw these brushes on the blog of the lovely Emily, you can check it out here, if you haven't seen it already. I am just obsessed with here style and the whole blog :) 
A couple of weeks ago I was in desperate need of some cheap but different alternatives for makeup ( especially face ) brushes, and these ebay ones are just the perfect solution. They came in a set of four and they're rather large for my eyes but with this new eyeshadow I got, they can work pretty well. 
So about the shadow, it is a pretty browny-beigey-bronzey colour that seriously works wonders. I can use the swirled colours one by one, precisely OR I can use one of my ebay brushes, just dip it into the shadow and "put the whole" on my eyes, and it still gives a transition that is not so harsh, but lovely for everyday wear.

I use these two on my eyes.

This is for concealing.

I use this for nose contouring and sometimes in the crease of my eyes.

another Garnier BB cream

Hello-hello! Today I am going to talk about another Garnier BB cream that I am using now for a solid 1 and a half months. If you want to see my review of the other BB cream I own, click here!
It may seem a bit odd, that why do I need two BB creams of the same brand but I have to tell you darlings that this one is meant to be for oily skin type of people. So that's why I made the purchase in the first place.
It is lighter than the other, but also blends in perfectly and it almost gives you a summery bronzy glow ( or I just hallucinate everytime I use it :D ). However it is just as glowy as my other BB cream. 
As I tend to get super oily at summer, I need a lot of powder ( even repowder my face) but still it gives me coverage and it's very light, so perfect for summer.

OOTD : the perfect summer jumpsuit

A while ago I was invited to a fancy birthday party. Don't get me wrong I like a champagny, Blair Waldorf themed party just as much as the "sitting on the grass and drinking wine from the bottle" types of fun so I was glad to have an event where I could finally wore my summer jumpsuit AND HEALS.
I got both of them from two different little shops, but as jumpsuits and wedges are the trend now I guess you can find similar ones anywhere :) Also my clutch is from H&M
I curled my hair ( loose and pretty ) and had a summery brown and gold makeup going on with some gold jewelleries.
I really liked this look, tell me your favourite summer outfit/makeup and pieces!

how I clean my brushes

Hy all :) I just learned a few months ago how it's best and most sufficient to clean my brushes. Before I would just hold them under water in like 3 times or twice a year. I know...that is really naughty.
But now I know, they need a little warm water with soap or shower gel, a lot of swirling and time to dry.
My brushes aren't so expensive so I don't do anything extra to them because I know I have to change them from time to time.

How do you clean your brushes? And what kind of brushes do you like to use?

cat eye and sea salt spray

Hello my little lovebugs! This post I am making today is all about my promsies :D Because it features the Toni&Guy sea salt spray and all my makeup favourites ( along with my new essence bronzer that works wonders ) . And my new purchase from Avon, the Extra Lasting lipstick in the shade of Sunkissed Ginger. The trick I used - to make the nice cat flicks - was coming from the beautiful and gorgeous Amelia Liana from liana-beauty, because I used post-its on my eyes to make a perfect line.

So this is me without makeup but you can see the loose waves the spray gave me, it's amazing. Oh and don't mind my Bradley Simpson shirt :$

And with the full-on makeup. I don't know what is up with the innocent poses :D

And yeah.. all that stuff went on my face....

I think I haven't introduced this nice palette from essence here, but it's my new summer fave!

The Rimmel Glam' Eyes liquid eyeliner can make a great, thin line. Also it doesn't come off easily.

The bronzer may seem a bit too brown and shimmery at first but it blends out perfectly.

H&M eyebrow kit is just WONDERFUL.

The  shade is pretty but you need to reapply it after a time.
