Hello :)


Ovaj post sam namjeravala napisat prije tjedan dana, ali mi se ova paleta toliko ne sviđa, da sam odgađala do danas :/
Prvi problem mi je bio kod obrade slika, jer su glupe nijanse preslične i ovisi o osvjetljenju, postanu skoro iste. Zatim su mi boje toliko bezlične, dosta sjenila se i trusi, tako da jednostavno nisam imala nikakve inspiracije. Jedino što me tjera naprijed je da maknem ovaj post s dnevnog reda :D

MUA Heaven and Earth paletu sam, kao i Undressed iz prethodnog posta uzela preko MUA web shopa, jer sam htjela podebljat zalihu nudastih sjenila. Mogla sam svakako sačuvat tih nekoliko funti, jer vjerujem da ću je jaaaaako malo koristiti.

S obzirom da mi je ovo totalno meh paleta, očekuje vas puuuuuuuuno slika, a malo riječi :D

Za one koji samo gledaju slike, a ne čitaju tekst, evo i brojčane ocjene: 2/5

MUA Heaven and Earth

Od svih dvanaest sjenila u ovoj paleti, najviše su mi se dojmile nijanse pod brojevima 1, 4 i 5. 1 i 4 su prekrasne highlight nijanse sa perlastim odsjajem, a nijansa 5 je smeđa s odsjajem koji je između ljubičaste i boje hrđe.

Swatches of the MUA Heaven and Earth palette

Ako se ipak odlučite za kupnju, pričekajte kod za 50% koji će MUA objaviti kada njihova facebook stranica dostigne 50 000 fanova.

Hvala vam puno na čitanju, sad slijedi mega picture spam :D




Hvala na gledanju slika :D

Pozdrav,
Nic

Hello :)

Nisam namjeravala napisat recenziju ove palete, s obzirom da je skoro svi imaju i postoji mali milijun recenzija sa swatchevima, a ja sam pomalo hipster u smislu da ne volim pisat o čemu i svi ostali pišu :D
Ali pošto sam ju koristila u prošlom postu i zapela je za Voodooino oko, potrudila sam se napravit recenziju, jer ipak, ova paleta to zaslužuje :)

MUA Undressed paletu sam naručila kad je bio aktivan kod za 35 000 lajkera na facebooku povodom čega su nudili 35% popusta :)
Puna cijena palete je 4£, što i nije puno, ali naravno da je uvijek ljepše proći još jeftinije :D

Prije nego krenem na swatcheve i recenziju, morate znati da će kad skupe 50 000 lajkova na facebooku MUAovci objaviti kod za 50% popusta s besplatnom poštarinom :)
Jedva čekam, jer ću ih pokupovat sve :D

Jedina loša stvar kod naručivanja palete je bilo rušenje stranice, jer se i nisu baš dobro pripremili za navalu pomahnitalih ljubiteljica jeftine kozmetike, pa je bilo jako teško, čak i nemoguće pristupiti on-line storeu.
Velike pohvale MUAovcima što su produžili trajanje koda za onoliko dana koliko se nije moglo pristupiti stranici :)

U vrlo kratkom vremenu mi je stiglo naručeno, među kojima su i tri palete s donje slike (četvrta je poklon) :)



Kažu da je dovoljno dobar dupe za Urban Decay Naked paletu, ali pošto ju nemam, ne mogu to potvrdit.

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 :)

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.

Rosewood Hood

Mystic Lilac

I swatched them on the plastic spoons:

Have you picked up anything from this collection?
How do you like it? :)

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:



Sleek set se sastoji od olovke za oči u nijansi Mossberry, rumenila u nijansi Fenberry te mat ruža u nijansi Cranberry. Katie ima krasne swatcheve, koje možete pogledati ovdje :)

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 :*
