March Obsessions!

0 comments
Hey there! How are you doin'? I hope good, I know I am, cause March is over and April is upon us! :D

So that can only mean one thing! April fool's day! :D Don't get pranked, I know I will be sketchy on my every step and... Stuff. Although I have never been pranked, but I can still be careful. :P

Anyways, as the March is leaving I feel like I have been obsessing over things way too much, especially about makeup and youtube. :P

MAKEUP


Currently really loving these All About... Eyeshadow palettes from Essence. Awesome colours, great pigmentation. I especially like the lightest colour in each palette. It's perfect for highlighting the inner eye corner! And that's what I've been doing since I've got them. Amazing, worth the try! And I did a swatch post on these if you'd like to check em out.



How could talk about my monthly obsessions without including Catrice? :) Impossibru! This blush is in the shade Peach Frappucino and it's a peachy kind of blush. I love peachy blushes, probably the most, they seem to suit me the best I think. And what I like about this one, you can intensify the colour by picking up the darker colour in it or you can apply the lighter colour and made it softer. I love it, I like apply the middle colours(it also looks really neat with contoured cheek bones).



It might be a random one for you, but God only knows how much I use this. Not every day, but almost every day. :) The mono eyeshadow from Rimmel London in the shade Serene is my crease colour. I intensify it with a darker neutral colour usually so Serene is kind of a transition colour, but still... My precious!



I splurged on Bourjois Mega Liner thins month... I've never payed for eyeliner more than 5€ and I payed like 10€ for this one. And I think it's good, I mean I've been using it for the past month and it still hasn't started drying out, like most of my eyeliners do. It has the angled felt tip so it is kind of easier to do a winged out look(at least for me). Love it!



I bought this one around the same as I bought the Bourjois one, maybe couple of day later and the tip of it is getting pretty dry. Essence disappointed me once at the eyeliner section, but this Waterproof Eyeliner Pen is quite good. It is waterproof after it sets on my eyes(my eyes sometimes get watery, even in the inner corner and it ruins my eyeliner, but this one stays put). The only thing I don't like? Soon to be, dried out tip.



I've bought this brush off a Slovenian site and I've tried to find the official Brush Art site to buy them there(might be cheaper) but I couldn't find it. I believe it is a Czech or Slovakian company, but not completely sure. Anyways, it is a simple eyeshadow brush but I love it. It is so dense in just the perfect size for my to pack on the colours, especially the ones less pigmented. I am going to purchase more of these, they're that amazing.



Yes, I have mentioned a lip polish from Catrice last month, but this month I have to mention it again. It's perfect for Spring(and if you checked out my post from Saturday, you would know that :D). It is in the shade Strawberry's Secret and it is a coraly red shade. I've worn it a couple of times this month but I just love these from Catrice in general so... Yeah. It is here in this post today.



It is from Brush Art, again. It's a regular stippling brush and it's okay, does the job. I have it in here right now because I have been doing my contouring with this. I drew some lines under my cheek bones with one brush and blended it with this one. I'm sure I'm not the only who does that but I just figured out this now. I'm slow!



I gave this one a go after buying one with similar purpose from Catrice, and I like this more. It's softer there fore easier to blend. And I use it in waterline to, works great. Really can't complain about this one. Thank you Essence, for bringing the Big Bright Eyes concept. They have two more in Pearl y and in Funky, mine is in Nude(no shimmer or glitter, matte).



This baby has been my go to nude-ish lip, this month. :) It's from Revlon in the shade Rose & Shine(Super Lustrous Lipstick).  It has some shine to it, some tiny shimmer but it is barely noticeable so it doesn't bother me. I loved it, really. :)

 



YOUTUBE

I have been subscribed to Zoella for quite a while now, and I have been obsessing over her videos before, but this month it's like I've rediscovered her. :P I've rewatched her older videos and her collabs, which are always fun to watch. And she's just so adorable and her bubbly personality always makes me giggle. :) And I think this is one of my favourite collabs she has done, it's hilarious! :D



I've also discovered Sky from Sky does minecraft, yup still enjoying some good ol' minecraft. :D I just find him to be funny as hell. I've watched his skits as well and those are hilarious too! I wish he did more of those cause I think they're funny, he's funny. ;D And of course, minecraft.



I've mentioned Judy before and her family but this month has been a very special month. Their twin baby girls were born! :D Such a precious little things and seeing Julianna around them? Makes it even better. :D I mean look at them all? That's adorable!



MUSIC

I've been listening to Celine Dion every day, for the past month and I really enjoyed that. She has a new album, not sure when it was released, but it wasn't that long ago(probably like 6 months :D). I have been enjoying 'Love Me Back to Life' the most but I also like 'Incredible' featuring NeYo and 'Always Be Your Girl' and 'Unfinished Songs'. I like it a lot! She's such an amazing singer, I've loved her since I was younger and I used to sing her song all the time('I'm Alive' and 'My Heart Will Go On'). Love her! :)



I had to mention this song also, even though I haven't been raving about it that much, but oh my lord, I simply must! Lady Gaga has made me love her again! I didn't really liked her entire album(ARTPOP) that much but it seems like her singles has made me into a Monster. Not a real monster, but you know... Lady Gaga' Monster. :) Oh, the song is called G.U.Y., in case you didn't know and have been living under a rock. :D The actual song starts somewhere around 4 minutes... Oh and don't get me startin' on the video! Amazing! I believe she came up with it, if I'm wrong please excuse me. OH! And Sky is in it! I was so shocked to see that! :D




TV SHOWS

I can't be bothered with other shows right now, other than The Walking Dead. There is one(which I'm going to talk about it later), but please... This series has become my everything. I don't even care if people think it's boring now and uneventful but I think it's awesome and creative. Usually when there's a slow story in the series I just loose interest(Pretty Little Liar, How I Met Your Mother,...) but this time around, the slow story actually makes me watch it even more. I want to know every bit of their day, seriously. :P I have been also having dreams about zombie apocalypse... :/ 



With that being said, I have been laughing my ass off watching Mom. Not my mom, the show Mom. :D It's a new sitcom(from the creators of The Big Bang Theory), I have been watching it since it came out but lately their episodes are getting funnier! And I love it! Anna Farris plays in it so it is bound to be funny at some point. Totally worth your time! 



I hope you liked this post, I know I like to read/watch monthly favourites so I hope you liked mine. Yup, this is it for today, thank you for reading yo!

See youuuuuuuu!

Amii.


I'm thinking about making a Youtube channel...*gulp*.

My Spring Lipsticks!

0 comments
Hey there! Spring is here and so is the Spring fashion and makeup! I have been loving the Spring lipsticks so much, that I had to share my favourites.

I have done a similar post in Autumn/Fall time, so if you're interested you can check that out. Now that I see it after a long time, I'm absolutely disgusted by my eyebrows. They're all kinds of funky.

Moving on to what's really happening here today! My Spring lippies!



There's a bunch of them, I know, but these are the usual shades I like to wear during sunny days. Corals have been especially close to my heart. :)



CATRICE Ultimate Shine Gel Lip Colour
070 License To Pink


So first one is from Catrice and this baby is extremely moisturising and oh so gorgeous. It is a hot pink, which I usually try to stay away from but I just couldn't stay away from this one. When I swatched in the drugstore(long time ago) I just knew I had to have it. So now that I do, I am probably gonna wear this the entire Spring. :)




ELF Essentials Lipstick
Classy


This one is a nice Barbie pink. It's not completely blue undertone pink, but it's very close. These kind of pinks make my teeth look yellow so I try to cover up the blue a bit, even though it's extremely pretty. :) I do think it's the perfect Summer colour and even Spring. I like it. It might not suit as well as others do, but I do like it. And Elf has such awesome lipsticks from their Essentials line, it's bonkers. :)




CK Delicious Luxury Creme Lipstick
Etheral


Even though this isn't the real CK(at least I don't think it is) it's still a very nice colour. It does look a bit cakey on my lips, I don't know if it's because my lips are almost always chapped or what, I don't know. I do like the shade, it screams Spring, it's like a peachy pink and on my lips it looks almost pastel. :)




ELF Essentials Lipstick
Seductive


Another Elf lipstick, this one is more pink but has like a hint of coral, if that makes sense. It looks almost like a hot pink on my lips, but I promise it's not. Nice creamy texture as all Elf Essentials lipstick are, I like it loads. 




Essence Longlasting Lipstick
01 Coral Calling


I love these Essence lipsticks! I wish they had more colour selection, they do have different pinks and red but it would be awesome if they would do some mauves and different berry shades. Anyways, these lipsticks are amazing. They're easily build-able and are actually quite pigmented with just one swipe, but you can intensify the colour with multiple swipes(as said, they're build-able). I love this shade, I wore it a lot during the last September(or October) it's gorgeous, enough said!




Oriflame Very Me Lipmania Lipstick
Vibrant Peach


Before I start talking about the lipstick itself, can we just take a second and look at the packaging first. It has a heel on the lid! :D And every shade from this collection has a different heel on the lid. Very creative, Oriflame. :D Anyways, this shade is very similar to the Essence one, except this one is a bit more sheer and a tad more pink. The sun kind of made it look brighter, but it's not. :P




CATRICE Ultimate Colour 
320 Kiss Kiss Hibiscus


Now this one a really bright one! I honestly had no idea what was I thinking while buying this but I bought it and it is a very bonkers shade. At least for me. It is almost neon pink on my lips and it is really beautiful, just not very flattering on me(sob). Catrice makes such amazing lipsticks, it's ridiculous. So pigmented, so creamy and long-lasting. Amazeballs!




CATRICE Made To Stay Smoothing Lip Polish
030 Strawberry's Secret


As the name says, it is kind of a strawberry red shade but it's mixed with a bit of coral. This hybrid product is really one of my favourites right now. It gives such a nice colour and a gorgeous shine. I actually don't own a lipgloss which gives such a shine as this one does. I actually reviewed this beauty, so you can check it out here, if you'd like to know more about them. :)



So these are the lipsticks I will wear throughout the Spring and Summer as well. I have been wearing a few already so, yeah really excited for the others as well. This is it from me for now, I hope you enjoyed this and thank you for reading. :)

I salute you!

Amii.

Spring Fashion Haul!

0 comments
Hey there! I was shopping recently and I got some stuff, mainly from H&M and little bits and bobs from others stores and I though I should share it with you!



I am very enthusiastic about clothes but I don't shop for them very often. Mostly because I am quite bored of our shopping places. And nothing really wows me anymore. :/ But I really needed some new clothes so you know, I had to go shopping... *Yawn*. :D Oh, a tiny warning! Yes, it a Spring haul but there's not much colour in here, mostly black, white and grey. I'm not hating on colours or anything, it just happens that the stuff I liked were in 'boring' colours. :D

Firstly I went to H&M and I found some stuff which I really liked, I was surprised actually cause I never seem to find anything I like.


Lately, I have been wearing this kind of T-shirts with a classic tank top underneath it. I know layering T-shirts can look weird and messy sometimes, but I have been living in this kind of outfits at leafs a year. And these are made from really thin material so a tank top underneath is just enough. :)
This particular top is just plain black with a French saying on it. Sleeves are 3/4 and slightly rolled up. 
This one was about 13€


Another oversized top, this one is really interesting. It is grey with tiny specks of black and as you can see there's a mesh lining on the sleeves. Oh and these sleeves are also 3/4 and a tad rolled up. 
This one was also about 13€.


The cute one! Yes, the meoow print got me! I think this would be great for summer, as it is the light material. And I mean to wear this with some bright or neon coloured tank tops underneath it. This one is a bit shorter than the ones I've mentioned before so I am assuming this is definitely meant for skinny girls. But hey, I can't be tamed. 
This was about 10€.


This one is the same as the one above, just different colour and there's no meow on it, so it's more boring. Ironically, it says 'Très cool'. I like the material of this one a lot. It is grey but it's not just plain grey, as you can see. But it's very difficult for me to describe it! And it's getting on my nerves. -.- Anywas, very nice! 
It was 10€ as well.


I also picked up two tank top. Nothing special about these. Actually, the grey one has the black lining like lace kind, but it's not really lace. I'm so terrible at describing clothes. -.- The other ones has stripes. :D 
They were about 7€ each.


I wanted some blazers so, I got one. But just one. :/ It's navy blue and it has two pockets and one button. :D It looks very weird on the hanger but I promise it is a very nice blazer and I like it a lot. I pair everything with blazers, I am obsessed with these. I need moar! 
It was about 30€.


Picked up some flats and realised they go so well with the blazer. They're navy blue, just like the blazer but the picture makes them look brighter and the blazer looks like greyish blue. So, that happened. I have another flats from H&M and for the price they're quite nice. I do get blisters from wearing them but all flats do that to me. :(
These were about 10€.


And then I swinger by the New Yorker cause I wanted another blazer and H&M ran out of my size(apparently). I didn't find the blazers I was looking for but I did found two other things! :)


Another tee with some French on it! This one says Chérie and it is super nice. I like it lots. :) Again, planning to wear this with a tank top underneath it, can't get more creative than that. :D I think it would look nice with jeans and some black wedges but I'll probably stick with flats. Wedges no bueno for me, to much pain-o. :P
It was about 10€


This T-shirt is so tumblr! :D But I bought it mostly because of the 'Think Happy' floral print. :) And I have a pink blazer which would go soooooo well with this tee, like... For real. :D And guess what? I'll probably wear this alone, with no tank top underneath it. Woow! :P
And this one was also around 10€.

So this is pretty much it for my haul, it might be small it might be big but it is what it is and I hope you've enjoyed it and thank you for sticking around. :)

Baaai!

Amii.
