Hello :)

Today I will briefly present to you my picks from the essence Wild craft TE :)

When I saw the preview of the collection I thought that the brush looked ok, but that the rest of the stuff is pretty meh. It wasn't very long until I changed my mind :D

L-R: Rosewood Hood, Out Of The Forest, Mystic Lilac

Rosewood Hood and Mystic Lilac

Look at that imprint on the eyeshadows, it's soooo beautiful :)
I seriously hesitated to disturb it, I was fascinated with those ridges.

The magnificent trio

And now the close-up :D

essence Mystic lilac

Fortunately, that delicate imprint isn't the best thing about this collection, all  three shades have buttery soft texture, and glide on beautifully. They have very good pigmentation even without the primer, as you can see on the swatch below.

L-R: Rosewood Hood, Out Of The Forest, Mystic Lilac

Rosewood Hood is a shimmery champagne-beige color, which will be great as highlight and a base color.
Out of the Forest is a goldened olive green which looks a bit brownish, depending on the lighting. It also has the least buttery texture of the three.
Mystic Lilac is a deep violet shade, and it is the most pigmented of the three. And of course, it's my favorite (who would've guessed, right? :D )



I didn't plan on getting any of the shades of nail polish from this collection but then I saw these swatches and instantly fell in love with the Rosewood Hood and Mystic Lilac.
The best thing about them? Their price -.-

I still haven't got around to actually wearing them on my nails, but I'm not really satisfied with their brush, especially the one in Mystic Lilac. It is too big and soft, and it picks up too much of the nail polish.
The only thing why I picked up Rosewood Hood is because I don't own much of the nude polishes, and I'm a bit of the hoarder. Even though I probably won't wear it but once or twice, I still had to have it.

I swatched them on the plastic spoons:

Hello :)


Prije malo manje od godinu dana sam dobila predivnu Sleek Berry kolekciju za kojom sam patila, a koju su mi za rođendan (uz ostale divne stvarčice) poklonile moje krasne babe sa Četa koji ne Šteka (interna) :D
Sad je napokon došlo vrijeme da je i vama pokažem :)
Usput, obojila sam kosu u crno (koja se ispire na smeđe sa svakim pranjem) tako da i to možete primjetiti na slikama :D

A bit less than a year ago my awesome friends got me for my birthday the amazing Sleek Berry Collection that I wished for a long time, and now it's finally time for me to show it to you :D
Also, my hair is black now (and is turning brown with every washing) so that is something you may notice on the photos :D

:morticia:

Sretan Boooooooooožić svima koji ga slave 


Nadam ste da ste proveli krasan dan na toplom i uz puno hrane u krugu najdražih (slavili ili ga ne slavili ;) ) te da ste dobili puno lijepih i korisnih poklona. Ja se moram pohvalit s nekoliko njih koji su krasni i koji su mi izmamili suze na oči :)

Prvo sam od moje krasne Lee Girlysh u secret santa darivanju nas nekoliko baba dobila ovaj krasan poklon:



Zeleni čaj s bazgom kojeg trošim kao da se drogiram njime, prefinu Aveo tuširalicu, Avon ruž u boji bobica, dekant Lancome La vie est belle parfema za kojim cmoljim otkad sam ga pošnjofala, MUA From dusk till dawn paletu koja mi je na pinterest wishlisti, prefora gumicu za kosu s metalnom lubanjom, Kleancolor lak za kojim patim već odavno te dva preprepreprefenomenalna frankena koji su napravljeni samo za mene  i divnu čestitku s dvije bubamare  (na slici nedostaju čokoladice koje sam ubila prije slikanja).

Lee, hvala ti, najbolja si curica na svijetu 




Sad prelazim na poklon koji sam danas dobila od dragog, a što je izveo tako stealthy da sam ga izudarala na kraju :D
Ja inače reagiram na iznenađenja koja me ostave paf na način da krenem psovat poklanjatelja i lupat ga :D
Tako da sam mu umjesto "ljubavi" krenula govorit "glupane" i "budalo" i još neke stvari koje nisu za objavljivanje :D
I to toliko da jadan čoek nije znao jel mi se uopće svidio poklon. A poklon je savršen:


Presavršeno :)


Kako ste vi proveli Božić?
Jeste dobili nešto lijepo?



Još jednom sretan Božić i uživajte :*

Hello :)


Tonight I was feeling really down (for no reason whatsoever) and decided to channel my grumpiness towards something creative :)
Ta-da!



I first wanted to do a look with MUA palettes, and than I wanted to do a vampireish look (not the lame Twilight vampires, but something really cool, Anne Rice/True Blood-esque).
At the end I went with using mostly Geek Chic Cosmetics loose eyeshadows, and this is the end result.
As for lips, I knew I wanted to use Catrice After work wine lipstick, but I decided to use it as a stain, to keep the focus on the eyes.




Later on I decided to use it as a lipstick and when I applied it, I thought it look even better than before?
Which one do you like better? :)







This is everything that I used, except for the sample of Kanebo Water MakeUp Base (face primer), and it is amazing, hydrating and I'm definitely going to buy it, despite it's price (around 45 EUR).





That's it for today :)
At the end, I'm really happy about this make up look, and it definitely succeeded in terms of making me feel better :)

Good night, and thank you for reading :*

Hello :)


Nadam se da ste provele lijepu nedjelju i da ste se pripremile za ponedjeljak :)
Ja sam napokon uspjela obraditi slike moje nove kozmetičke ljubavi i usudila bih se reći, HG rumenila 

Illamasqua Zygomatic je izašao kao dio kolekcije Naked Strangers u ljeto ove godine.
Kupila sam ga prije otprilike dva mjeseca i otad ga koristim pri skoro svakom šminkanju. Na svim swatchevima je izgledao drugačije, tako da mi se na nekim slikama gdje je nekako voskasto narančasto smeđ nije nimalo sviđao. Kad sam se vratila u ZG odlučila sam navratiti do Illamasqua butige i isprobat ga. Nažalost sam tad bila tamna te se uopće nije vidio na mojoj koži (isprobala sam ga na podlaktici), a i nije ga bilo in stock. Kad sam slijedeći put navratila u butigu odlučila sam ga isprobati na licu i zaljubila sam se na prvi nanos.

Razlog što je većina slika i swatcheva koje možete naći na netu nerealna, je što se ovaj mali gad od rumenila nikako ne može realno uslikati. Što je još gore, na žutom svjetlu lampe izgleda nekako gadno oker smeđe te da mi nema trusty lightrooma počupala bi kosu i ne bi bilo ovog posta 

Vrijeme me trola cijeli tjedan, a dok dođem doma s posla već je mrak, tako da sam mrvucu dnevnog svjetla uspjela uhvatit tek jutros, a slike sam obrađivala tako da sam držala Zygomatic uz ekran i nakirtavala boje na ekranu :D

Dobra stvar je što nisam morala obrađivat slike face, jer se Zygomatic opusti na licu i više se ne boji fotoaparata 

Slikice:

Hello :)

Nadam se da ste provele krasan vikend :)
Ja jesam :D
Imala sam divan girls hangout vikend, uz puno landranja po Zagrebu, pizze, sladoleda, Illamasque (škicnite na post Voodoo Blonde, a usput i Girly :) ) i druženja :)

Kasno navečer nam se pridružila i jedna plavuša koju je jako zanimao Lidlov puding :D


Divan vikend, hvala vam puno cure, na krasnom druženju :*

A sada, čajnaglejzić :)

CG Dorothy Who? je originalno izašao u kolekciji The Wizard of Ooh Ahz davne 2001. godine. China Glaze se smilovao pa je vratio kolekciju u prodaju 2009., uz male preinake. Sve swatcheve možete pronaći kod Scrangie, a za Dorothyne cipelice klikenzi na ovaj link ;)

Dorothy Who? je krasni lak koji se sastoji od jelly plave baze i srebrnog i plavog glittera. Na slici su dva sloja, uz nadlak za brzo sušenje, iako se i sam dosta brzo suši.




Za kraj, molim minutu šutnje za krasne duge nokte na gornjim slikama 

Usput, iritira li vas watermark s adresom bloga na slikama?
ostao mi je u Lightroomu naštiman iako ga nisam mislila stavljati, ali mislim da ne bode pretjerano u oči :/
Da ga mičem ili može ostati? :)


Odoh u krpe :*
Hvala na čitanju :)

Hello :)


Pripremam post o Illamasqua Zygomaticu i Apocalipsu, ali ne mogu čekat da ih postam pa evo jedan brzi look, čisto da vidite kako dobro idu zajedno :)
Usput, danas sam bila kod frizera (idem u Royal, koje apsolutno preporučam ;) ), a to znači da je isušenoj, ispucaloj kosi odzvonilo :)

I'm preparing a post about Illamasqua Zygomatic and Apocalips, but I couldn't wait so here is a sneak peek of how they look amazing together :)
Also, I just got a new haircut, which means no more dried out, split ends :)

Hello :)

Večeras sam napravila jedan look koji mi se jaaaako sviđa :)
A najviše mi se sviđa zato što je inspiriran savršenom zakon serijom i OMFG epic najboljom epizodom te serije.

Riječ je o seriji Doctor Who i epizodi "Blink", koja me uvijek ponovo uplaši, ma koliko god puta da sam ju pogledala :)

Tonight I made a look that I like very veeeery much :)
The thing I like the most is that it is inspired by a amazingly awesome TV series and an OMFG epic episode of that show.

I'm talking about Doctor Who, and the episode "Blink", that every time I watch it, succeeds in scaring me :)


U "Blink" prvi puta susrećemo Weeping Angels-e (ne želim ovo prevodit :D ), jako jako strašne i opasne izvanzemaljce. Zamislite Daleke i onda pomnožite s milijun. Da, toliko strašne :/

Sve što trebate znati o Weeping Angels-ima, možete naći u ova dva videa:

"Blink" introduces Weeping Angels, very scary and dangerous aliens. Imagine Daleks and then multiply by a million. Yup, that scary :/

Everything you need to know about Weeping angels is found in these two videos:




Ovo je moj pokušaj :
Here is my recreation of a Weeping Angel:









Ovo je sve što sam koristila:
And here is all what I used to achieve this look :






Jel valja išta?
Is it any good?

:D


Hvala puno na čitanju, do slijedećeg posta, molim lijepo da pogledate barem nekoliko epizoda Doctor Who ;)
Thank you for reading, and until the next post, please watch at least few episodes of Doctor Who ;)


Lots of love,

Nic



EDIT:

Pošto me dosta ljudi pitalo koje su mi ovo leće i kako sam napravila zube, tu su slike koje pokazuju nekoliko koraka do finalnog looka :D
sve je nacrtano, nema nikakvih dodataka :D

Slikano je mobitelom, zato su slike malo lošije.

Since a lot of people asked me which contact lenses did I use, and how did I manage to make those teeth, I'm posting you a WIP photos :D
everything is painted on my face, there are no add-ons :D

Photos are taken with my mobile phone and that explains the crappiness :D
