My everyday makeup

 Hey!

I just want to share my recent everyday makeup routine :)

 The first, I never use a foundation as I simply don’t like the feeling of it on my skin. So I go straight to concealers. I use two: Maybelline DreamLumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in the shade 01 Ivory for under my eyes area and I use Catrice Camouflage Cream  in the shade 010 Ivory. I use two because the second one has a high coverage and it’s too heavy for under eyes area and the first one has too light coverage to cover any pimples :) So I firstly I use Maybelline concealer to hide my dark circles and then go ahead with the Catrice one to hide any imperfections all over my face.

Then I set it with Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in the shade 52 Vanilla. It says “10hrs Matt Finish & Natural Healthy Glow”. I’ll say that it can stay for even longer as most of the days I do my makeup in the morning and gat home only late in the evening so it’s like 12+ hours of wearing makeup and in the end of the day I still don’t get that shinny face as I usually have. So this is one of my favourite powders I’ve ever used :)

 Then I move to my eyes area. I use Maybelline BrowSatin in the shade Dark Blonde. I was such an idiot when I bought it in this shade.. It’s too yellowy for my eyebrows but I like the pencil and that weird sponge end that I use it nevertheless. I just quickly fill my eyebrows in and brush them through with a spoolie.

For a base colour I use my favourite Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hours in the shade 91 Crème de Rose. I just apply it with my finger all over the eyelid and that’s all :)

Then I use Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in the shade 003 Brown. It’s been in my makeup bag for sooooo lond because I never used it for some reason. Now I use it more and more to line my upper lash line. I don’t do any flick as I have vey watering eyes especially when the air is dry and It is dry so I’ll just end up with smudged flicks…

And to finish my eyes I curl my lashes and apply Maybelline(too much Maybelline in this post, hah) The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara. It’s nice but a little bit watery. I bought it recently so can’t say much. I just like it so far, not too much but do.

 When it comes to lips, I like to scrub them in the morning with Lush The Kiss Lip Scrub. It’s from their St.Valentine’s Day collection. It’s very first time I tried lip scrubs in my life and I really enjoy using it. After the scrub I apply some sort of lip balm. Now I use Nivea Coconut Lip Butter. It’s sooo nice and soft.. And the scent…mmm.. Love it :)

I usually apply any kind of lipstick only right before I leave the house and it can be different. Sometimes I even forget to apply anything at all :)

Then I finish my face with Divage Velvet Blush in the shade #8703. It’s a nice rosy peach shade which I love for spring/summer time. It’s pretty pigmented so I need to be very careful with it or I’ll look like a clown :)

And I started falling into highlighters. I have only one in my Sleek Face Form Palette in the shade Light 373. It’s a very nice and settle highlighter which looks very pretty on cheekbones :)

And that’s it!

Hope you like it :)

Tell my about your everyday makeup routines, I would love to know!

Ciao!

My book shelf: Eat. Pray. Love

Hey!

I've read another book! And it was Eat, Pray, Love by Elisabeth Gilbert.

Again it turned out to be the right book at the right time. After reading this I had courage to move on in my relationship, to set us both free from this suffocated chains. Yeah, it's sounds way too fancy xD

Anyway, what can I say about this book? It's separated into three sections, Italy, India, and Indonesia. Three countries where the author spends 4 months. She gave everything to her husband when she divorced and decided to travel for a year instead. Isn't it crazy? It sounds like such a cool thing! At least for me as I wish I could travel more. 

So, she took this year to really understand herself, to find God inside herself. That's what attracts me the most in this book: the search of yourself. That's what I really want right now in my own life: I want to find myself. And after this book I feel so inspired.

I really recommend this book if you're really looking for something to push you forward. I have a huge plan in my head right now on how I can change things I really wanted to change for a very long time. I have a plan where to start my searching. And that's what is the most amazing about this book: it pushed me forward.

Back to the story, I also want to say that the title is so good for this book. The first part is in Italy. What does she do there? Right, eat. The second part is in India. What does she do there? Pray. So you get the idea :) And I think it’s sooooooo clever to title it exactly like this.

Another thing I want to talk about is the movie. I wanted to watch for a long time but wanted to read the book first. What can I say.. The movie isn’t that bad but it can’t show all the emotional roller-costar of the main character. The part about Italy was so empty in the movie when in the book it was much more interesting, more alive and with a deeper sense. Other parts weren’t that bad. Obviously thy changed a lot. But at least it was nice to watch. And I fell in love with Ketut, the medicine man whom she met on Bali! He is soo nice in the movie, my favourite character :)

So to sum it up I want to say that it is that book that I recommend to everyone. And one my friend even started to do some psychological project for her university about this book because I obviously talked too much about it :)

Have you read this book?

What thoughts do you have?

And you can leave me some suggestions what to read next :)

Ciao!

Gone

Hey.

I’m single again.

I broke up with that guy I’ve dated for almost a year.

I just want to document my thoughts right now.

It was this thing when you live with someone and one day just realize you don’t love him anymore. That’s what happened. I just don’t love him anymore.

I learn some things from this relationship, obviously.

1.       If you start to feel that you don’t want to be with this person anymore – don’t stay. It won’t change with time.

2.       If you feel like you’re not improving – it’s not for you. I think that’s the most important thing I learned: if you feel like the relationship doesn’t let you do things for yourself – it doesn’t worth it. It killed me that I couldn’t something for myself only. I couldn’t watch my TV-shows because I physically didn’t have time because I spend it with him. I couldn’t work out and put some weight and it’s killing me now because I feel fat.

3.       Don’t start a relationship too soon after heart breaking. It was the biggest my mistake. Just don’t do it. Really. You’ll have this thought of that other guy all the time in your head. It kills.

4.       Don’t let him be the center of EVERYTHING in your life. It’s also very important. Every person should have his own goal in life. And the other person shouldn’t be a goal. Because I started to forget what I really wanted in life because of him and it’s not right.

5.       Breaking up – it’s not the end of the world. I’m back to my family and I’m happy with it. I’m happy to have this time with myself again. I missed it. And now I have a list of goals, I know what to do with my life. And it’s great! And even though I liked the living apart from my mum on my own, I liked lazy evenings with him and I will miss it a lot, I’m still so happy to be back home and be back on my life track.

I have tons of good memories with him. I’m thankful for everything he gave me but I want to move on. I’m not angry, I’m not in tears all the time(although I did cry couple times), I’m not regretting. 

I’m happy. I’m happy to be on my own.

I’m just saying goodbye to that life.

Goodbye.

I wish you only the best.

Bye.

Current Favourites March 2016

I earned some money so I spent some money :) of course I bought some make up and so I tried some new stuff and so I have some new favourites I want to share. 

The first one I love is my Maybelline Nude Palette. Oh I love it! The only downside is that the shades that seem to be matte still have some glitter in them. Well, I have another palette with matte shades I need :) the most important thing is that I use it every single day since I got it because I love it :)

The newest thing in this post is Lush Lip Scrub in The Kiss. It’s from Valentine’s day collection. I’d never used a lip scrub before but I actually really like it! One annoying thing about this particular one is the little hearts. I just don’t understand what’s the purpose But the whole product is great!

The mascara I like a lot is Maybelline Lash Sensational. A lot of people talk about it online. I didn’t want to buy it for some reason and bought it only because it was on sale. I  didn’t regret at all :) It gives volume and length and my lashes look nice with it. And it’s the most important, right?

I also started using make up primer. And Russia is soooo late to the party... We got Maybelline Baby Skin Primer only couple months ago. Now I use it all the time :) It gives very nice base for the make up but you shouldn’t apply too much.  

The other product from Maybelline is Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadow in Creme de Rose. We didn't get a matte collection for a long time and finally I start to notice them in stores and bought a nude pink shade as a base color. I like when the eyelid is light and I can apply any other color and it will stand up a little bit more. Again, I use it every single day since I got it :)

That's  I guess enough of beauty for now :)

So I hope you're going fine :)

Ciao!

Photo Post #37 : The 29th of February: Spring coming. Ismailovo

Hi!

I’m back with a photo post! We haven’t gone for a walk for soooo long because of my work as I work so much that sometimes I can have no days off for weeks. The worst thing is that the salary is so small that it actually doesn’t make any sense at all. That’s why I’m leaving that post. But it’s not the point here :)

We went to Ismailovo Park here, in Moscow, just to have some fresh air as we both finally have a day off at the same day. And it was wonderful! I feel much better about myself and it makes me a little bit happier. Never thought it means that much for me. But I need some fresh air all the time. Now we’re planning to have much more walks a week even if I actually work all day, we decided to have a walk anyway.

I love this feeling of spring in the air. Even though there is still snow it’s warm and sunny. So the spring is coming.

And I wish everyone to always find some time to get fresh air. Because it can change your mood so easily!

Embrace the nature :)

Ciao!
