Good evening, everyone :)

It's nice to write in English, for a change :)
Tonight I was looking through my old Halloween looks, as I wasn't planning to do one for this year, and I linked them to my facebook page.
Considering my love for Harley Quinn, it comes as no surprise I did two make up looks, and one manicure in her flagship colors, black and red.
You can find the animated series Harley here, Arkham Asylum Harley here, and manicure here.
I can't really say I'm too proud with these looks, but please keep in mind that the animated series Harley was done two years ago :D

Pošto nisam imala namjeru ove godine radit look za Noć vještica, prolazila sam kroz svoje stare postove i linkala ih na facebook stranicu bloga.
Ako uzmete u obzir koliko volim Harley Quinn, nije čudno da sam napravila dva make up looka i manikuru posvećenu njoj.
Harley iz Batman animirane serije možete naći ovdje, Arkham Asylum Harley ovdje, a manikuru ovdje.

If you are interested in Halloween looks, and love Doctor Who, prepare not to blink and go here, for some Weeping Angel action :D

Ako vas zanimaju lookovi za Noć vještica, a volite seriju Doctor Who, onda je ovaj post za vas :)

Now I'm done with attention whoring my old posts, I'm going to show you the latest eotd.
This one was not supposed to be a Halloween look, I just wanted to do a quick and simple look for the post about Inglot red gel liner...well, look how that turned out :D

Sad kad sam gotova s atenšn whoranjem svojih starih postova, pokazat ću vam zadnji uradak.
Ovaj nije trebao biti Halloween look, već očna šminka koja je trebala biti dio posta o Inglot crvenom gel lineru...nije mi uspjelo :D





I used:

• MAC paint pot in Painterly
• black eyeshadow - Black; Lorac pro palette
• red eyeshadow - Love+; Sugarpill Burning heart palette
• Catrice Black Jack with Jack Black gel eyeliner
• Inglot AMC eyeliner gel matte #79
• essence I love extreme mascara
• Eveline Celebrities liquid eyeliner
• Catrice Starlight Expresso eyeshadow for the eyebrows

I'm not as happy with this one as I thought I would be, because when I took macro photos of my eye, I saw that the lines are not as precise as I've previously thought.
Well, I guess it's not very wise to attempt this kind of make up not very well rested, and with an eye that just won't stop twitching :/
Nevermind, practice makes perfect :)
I can't wait for the next time I get to play with these eyeliners :)

Nisam baš prezadovoljna rezultatom jer kad sam slikala oko uz macro opciju, pokazalo se da mi linije nisu toliko precizne kako je izgledalo u ogledalu :/
Vjerujem da nije baš najpametnije radit ovakve lookove kad sam jako umorna i kad mi oko koje šminkam stalno trza :D
Nema veze, vježbom do savršenstva :)
Jedva čekam slijedeći put kad ću se šminkat, zabavno se igrat tuševima za oči :)


And the last one, this is what you get when you are a pro at retouching photos aka moving sliders left and right without really knowing how it will turn out :D

Za kraj, ovo dobijete kad ste totalni profesionalac u retuširanju slika, tj. kad samo klikate mišem bez veze po programu za obradu slika, bez da znate što koji parametar radi :D



It's so cheesy, but it looks cool, so I decided to upload it here :D

That's it for tonight, I'm off to wash this thing off my eye (yup, I did only one eye), and go to sleep, I think my Red Bull is wearing off...

Totalno je glupo, ali izgleda cool pa sam ipak uploadala sliku :D
To je sve za večeras, idem ovo oprat s oka i u krevet.

Sweet dreams :*

Hello :)


Danas sam htjela napravit jedan šareni look, pun žutih i zelenih i ljubičastih i zlatnih i svega i svačega...
Na kraju je ipak ispao standardni zelenkasto tirkiznasto ljubičasti look :D
Jedino što me tješi u ovom ponavljanju lookova je da mi se čini da se popravljam u blendanju :)
Razmišljala sam čak rekreirat neke starije lookove, ali s puno više blendanja i preciznosti.

Today I wanted to do a very colorful look, using yellows and greens and violets and goldens and everything...
At the end it turned out to be a standard for me, tealish violet look :D
The only good thing about this recreation of looks is that I'm under the impression that I'm getting better at blending :)
I thought about recreating some of the older looks, but with much more blending and precision.

For this one I used:

• Catrice Starlight expresso (eyebrows)
• essence Mystic lemon (under-brow highlight)
• Catrice Coolibri LE Birds flying high eyeshadow (eyeshadow base)
• Bourjois eyeliner pencil 19 Bleu surprenant
• Teal eyeshadow from Wet n Wild Blue had me at hello palette (lid)
• Catrice The violent violet eyeshadow (lower lashline)
• essence black eyeshadow (upper lashline)
• Violet eyeshadow from MUA Poptastic palette (crease)
• essence I love extreme mascara 

Je li dosadno ili vam se sviđa? :)
Is it boring or do you maybe like it?

Hello :)


Upravo editiram slike za post o Chanel Notoriousu i tijekom toga sam shvatila da mi se jako sviđa make up na očima :)
Odlučila sam napravit poseban post, prije nego što krenem pisat o Notoriousu :D

Right now, I'm editing photos for the Chanel Notorious post, and I've just realized I really like the eye make up I did :)
So I decided to make it a separate post, before I start gushing out about Notorious :D


Tu je, petominutni eye make up, s kojim sam jako zadovoljna :)
Here it is, a five minute eye make up I did, that I'm really satisfied with :)

Koristila sam:
I used:

ArtDeco eye primer
essence purple gel liner (smudged, used as a base)
essence alice had a vision – again pigment (all over the eyelid)
Sugarpill Goldilux
essence Mystic lemon mono eyeshadow (under the brow highlight)
essence I love extreme mascara
Catrice eyebrow set

To je to za danas :)
Svratite sutra do bloga, namjeravam postat o Chanel Notoriousu :)

That's it for today :)
Swing by the blog tomorrow for the post about Chanel Notorious :)

A sad, na slike! Allons-y!
And now, to the photos! Allons-y!

Happy New year, everyone 

We've survived another one :D
I'm not the one who makes new year resolutions and huge plans no-one ever goes through with, all I wish is that this new year won't be more worse than the last one :)

2012. was a really good year for me, nothing bad happened and I made some really close friends :)
I won't be making the best of, the worst of, and whatever of 2012. because I really don't like making lists :D

I find it is better to keep looking forward towards the future, and I plan for this year to be filled with awesome things :)

The first upcoming thing is my birthday on January 20th and I plan to do a giveaway :)
I still don't know what will be the prize (I think I will visit Illamasqua for it ;) ) and i don't think it will be just a random vote, I think I will make it a competition :)

I know I won't get as many entries as usual, but I want you to work for it :D
No, really, I'm really tired of giveaway hunters, but I also plan on doing a second giveaway with a smaller prize for which I will pick a random winner :)


And now onto the lotd :)

I wanted to post this one yesterday, but I didn't have enough time for photo editing.

Idea behind this one was to be completely different from the last one (the Morticia Addams look). I wanted it to be girly and pinkish and fresh. After I was finished with it, I got this bronzed and contoured look :D









I don't usually do nude eyes but I find this really nice looking on me. Brown and bronze colors make my eyes really pop :)

Products I used:

• Kanebo Sensai smoothing water make-up base
• Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry skin #150 Buff
• ArtDeco eyeshadow primer
• ArtDeco eyebrow powder #2
• MUA Undressed palette
• essence eyeshadow #43 Mystic lemon
• essence I love extreme mascara
• Avon lipstick Plum seduction
• Catrice bronzer Bohemia LE

Have a nice and hangover-less evening :D

Thank you for reading :)

Hello :)

U zadnje vrijeme mi baš ide s postovima :D
Nemam baš neke velike inspiracije za tekst, jedva čekam da dođem doma s posla :D
Zato, odmah na slike :)

Things I used:

• Artdeco eyeshadow base
• eveline Celebrities eyeliner
• Sugarpill Burning Heart palette 
• essence I love extreme mascara

You may be wondering where are all the promised pretty pictures...

Well, look below :D
I really didn't intend to post these photos, but when I checked them on my computer, I instantly loved this eotd.
It's really quick and simple, and I made it as an experiment.

I wanted to do a look that could be applied to wide set eyes, and I wanted to do a dark eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye, transitioning to the cut-crease towards the outer corner.

I don't know would this look work for the wide set eyes, as I believe I have well proportioned eyes (considering eye placement ---wow, this explanation sounds really stupid, right?---) but I like how this turned out, and I love how the light emphasized yellow circles of my iris :)

Hello, guys :)

I apologize for not writing, I'm still getting used to a complete lack of a free time, because of my new job. I thought I'll get it all done on weekend, but I failed :(

Tonight, I finally organized my photos, and I have enough material for at least 12 posts :yaaay:

This one is from the archives. Remember this post?

In it, I posted these photos:





Yup, that's my little sis! 
She is gorgeous, and I love her eyes, they are so deep and dreamy.

How do you like it?
Do you like these colors more on brown or blue eyes? I personally love them on both :)

Thank you for reading,
Nic

Hi, guys :)

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've got a job :yaaaay:
As it's a desk job with a lot of meetings, I'm keeping my make-up as plain as possible. I only use mascara, concealer and blush, so I have nothing to post :(

I plan to do a lot of makeuping over the weekend, and I'll try to do scheduled posts so you'll have a reason to stop by :D

Here's a one of my looks I did a few weeks ago, but never posted.

I used Sugarpill's Love+ as a liner in this otherwise nude look :)






Thank you for stopping by,
Nic

Hello :)

I'm sooooo tired, and before I go to bed and read a few pages of Terry Pratchet's "Lords and Ladies" (you got to love Granny Weatherwax :)   ) I want to share with you another look created with amazing Sugarpill Burning heart palette :)





Over Art Deco eyeshadow base I applied Sugarpill Poison plum (purple) and Love+ (red) eyeshadows with a drop of Inglot Duraline as eyeliner, and essence Black Out black eyeshadow with Nyx White pearl loose eyeshadow and finished with Catrice AllRound mascara.

I hope you like it :)

Thank you for reading,
Nic



(I'm an emoticon addict, as you can see :D )

From the moment I saw first swatches of Sugarpill products I was in love 

Sugarpill is owned by Amy Doan (Shrinkle) and is, as it states on the site, " a custom cosmetics line specializing in vibrant, richly pigmented, luxury pressed eyeshadows, sparkling loose powders, and ultra dramatic false eyelashes."


First one that caught my eyes was Burning heart palette (34 usd),  a quad consisting of yellow, orange, red and purple eyeshadow. Few months ago I finally saved enough money to place an order and a short while after I got my amazing package. Sugarpill also stocks Duo eyelash glue (AKA Holy Grail eyelash glue) so I had to order it because Sugarpill sells it for 5 usd and at Inglot it costs 14 usd.

Look at this beauties :

I got Goldilux sample as a gift :)

This was my first order, but it's far from my last :)
I love everything Sugarpill has to offer. I love their loose pigments, their pressed eyeshadows, colorful style, that fact they don't test on animals and their amazing customer support.
Oh, and they ship everywhere in the world :)

Now, let's proceed to my FOTD using Burning Heart palette :)

For this look I used:
