Smokey eyes tutorial!

0 comments
Hey there! I think there's so much of these on the web and I think it's not even necessary to do another one. :) But oh well, here it is.

I have seen quite a few of them and they all look pretty much the same. I tried couple of them on my own and I always found a way to mess things up. So the way I see it is: more I complicate, harder it will be. So I simplified and I did this in like, 10 minutes? 

I didn't put any foundation, bb cream or concealer yet,(that's why my under eye bags are so blue and disgusting) because I am putting dark eyeshadow on my eyes and there is no point in having foundation on and then removing it because of the black fallout... :D
Although I didn't had any fallout so... I could've done my foundation if I think about it now. :P


So I took Serene(Rimmel glam'eyes mono) and swept it just a little bit above my crease and blend it out.


Then with this royal blue colour(BH Cosmetics Malibu palette) I defined my crease and blended out. After blending out, I deepened my crease and slightly creating the outer V with the same colour.


After that I just packed my eyelids with this black eyeshadow(BH Cosmetics San Francisco palette)and blended out gently and I payed attention not to cover that blue. Carefully packed the black again and this time I blended it with the blue just a little bit. So the blue is still visible but not like ''in your face'' visible. :P


I took serene again and just swept it just above my crease, as before.


Then I took this light pink(San Francisco palette) which is almost like my skin tone, and swept it on the same area as Serene. Not a big difference though. :P

With the same black from San Francisco palette I just lined my lower lash line(but somehow forgot to take a picture, my bad :/) and finished my eyes with my favourite mascara. After that I just did the rest of my face.


1. Make Up Factory Oil Free foundation(which is too dark for me now -.- but for the sake of this post I used it)
2. Catrice Camouflage Cream
3. MUA Matte Perfect translucent powder
4. E.L.F. Radiance Enhancer
5. Catrice False Lashes Volume Mascara
6. E.L.F. lipstick(Nostalgic)
There's no eyebrows product in the photo since I forgot to include it, my bad! :D


I used this Contour&Blush palette from BH Cosmetics to contour, highlight(ooh, and I found a way how to make that white powder 'appear' :D) and blush.

And here's me ridiculously posing with the finished look. :D






My hair is a bit funky since I cut it so excuse me for that. :$ And we still have Christmas decoration if you can see in the background. :P

So that's all for this tutorial and for me, that's the easiest way to do smokey eyes look within couple of minutes. I hope this was somewhat helpful and hopefully I'll do another tutorial soon. :)

See you. :)

December Obsessions!

0 comments
Hey there! So January is here and a new year as well! December was quite fun and joyful especially around Christmas! :) Sooooooooooo... Let me start my December obsessions(nice transition, I know :P).

MAKEUP

Gotta start of with makeup! I have been obsessed with this lipstick almost since the day I bought it. I haven't had it for long, its been in my latest haul post. The Catrice Gel Lipstick in Upside Brown. I've worn it with almost every single look I've created and I can't get enough! I am not that much fan of brown lipsticks but this one is really beautiful!


I have been also loving the BH Cosmetics Blush duo in Daisy(also from my latest haul) which I think is more for spring time but hey, it's gorgeous. And it makes my cheeks look stunning and it gives just a nice flush.


This brush from BH Cosmetics is a must have! It's called All over brush but I use it for contouring or for bronzer. It's so small, just perfect to fit in hollows of my cheeks but big enough to blend out the harsh lines. Just amazing! Love, love, love! 


And I think I have found a new favourite mascara! It's from Catrice called Lashes to Kill False Lashes Volume Mascara. It really gives a false lashes effect cause it's suppose to have fibres in it. I can't remember if there's another mascara that makes my lashes that gorgeous.


A recent buy is this Elf lipstick, but I used it quite a lot and it is my new favourite nude lipstick.  It's from their Essentials line and it is called Nostalgic. I absolutely love this lipstick! I will most definitely buy another one, once this one is all gone(which will be a very sad day).



YOUTUBE

My love for Judy, Benji, Julianna and babies(which are still in the belly :)) is still huge and very much present, but the amount of videos I have seen from this particular person is really beyond normal! Yes, I am obsessed. So, Pewdiepie or Felix has been my new entertainment. I have subbed his channel sometime in November(but it must have been towards the ending) and he had I believe 16 or nearly 17 million subscribers. Now, he's got 19 and a half. So, in a month he gained 2,5 million subscribers. Insane! But I can see why. I laugh so hard every time I watch his videos. I don't play games, I don't even like them(other that Sims :P)! But he sure made me think about playing them. Anyways, I think he's funny. :) Here's my favourite one! :D



MUSIC

Uh, oh this list is quite long! I have been listening to a lot of new and new-ish music. I love love love the new One Direction album Midnight Memories. I like a lot of songs but my favourite has been Hapily. I am also loving Story of My Life, Diana, Don't Forget Where You Belong. I like others too but these have been on replay. :)


One Republic released Native quite a while now but I didn't get to listen to the album since recently and I have been fangirling! Counting Stars, If I Lose Myself, I Lived, Can't Stop, Au Revoir, Burning Bridges, Preacher,... Just a few favourites from the album and I can't get enough I swear. Especially Preacher! 




Jessie J released Alive in October and just as the other two albums I have mentioned I have been obsessed with this one as well! Very much actually! I am not that much into Square One, but all the rest are amazeballs! I listen to her songs like everyday, and I am hooked. My top three songs from that albums are Sexy Lady, I Miss Her and Breathe. 



TV SHOWS

Almost every show I watch is on a break(middle season finale and all) so I haven't really been obsessed with any of the shows that much. But I have got into another one, which I watched so many years ago on the TV in our country but after Season 1 they've just cancelled it. So I have watched a fair amount of Psych in December and apparently I forgot how much I've enjoyed watching this show. Love these guys! :)



CLOTHES

Since it's Winter time I have been loving my scarfs! Especially this pink one, which is an eternity scarf. It's so warm and cosy and so gorgeous! This picture is not doing it justice though... :/



I am not a big fan on high heels simply because I can't stand the pain in my feet after standing or just walking in them. Basically my feet start aching after 10 minute walk. :D But I adore these one! They aren't that high and they're really comfortable but I worn them only if I went somewhere with my parents, in the car and to the places I didn't need to walk that much. I'm a DIVA apparently :P I just love them, they're super cute and easy to wear. :) It might not be everybody's cup of tea but it's not like we all have the same taste. :)



This is pretty much it for my obsessions during December. See you in February ;)


Best wishes to you in a brand new year. :)
