The big Smokey eye topic / review /

Before I start I want to say "Thank you" to the people looking at this /the blog/. I'm so happy to see that someone is actually reading it, it may be only a few people, but really makes my day, so Thank you

So everybody loves smokey eyes and everybody has a diferend way of doing them. Here I'm going to try out two "smokey eye" sets and also tell how I usually make my smokey eye. And because I'm going to write "Smokey Eye" waaaay to many times, from now on I'm just going to write "SE" ^ ^ So I'll start whit the two sets I own. One of them is by Miss Sporty and the other one is by Essence.

I'm going to whit the one by Miss sporty. I have number 401 "for blue eyes" I don't have blue eyes, but it still looks good ^ ^ It looks like this

On the squers it says "1,2,3 and 4" 1 being the lightest colour and 4 the darkest / 1- top left; 2- top right; 3- bottom left and 4- bottom right /
On the back it has this image whit numbers, that suggests how to use them. I actually use the same sceme when doing my SE /before I ever knew what Miss Sporty is ^ ^/ I'm sorry it said ways, I just can't turn it for some reason

On the skin it looks like this - from 1 to 4 - from top to bottom

What do I think ?
The colours are perfect - the blend in perectly and are in perfect harmony
The case is small, so it's easy to carry around
It gives you tips on how to make you're SM
It has 4 colours - as I said i usually use 4 colours of eyeshadow, so that's a plus
But it's not that pigmented. have to over it again and again and again ....
Would I buy it in other colours ? - The other colours avalible -at least here- are green and pink. I may get the green one, but I'll pass the pink version ^ ^

Cost : 3.09 euro /the price is taken off the MS web site/


Next stop we have the Essence SE. It conatins 1 eyeshado, 1 gel liner and a dobble applicator - one for the eyeshadow and one for the gel. I have 03 "Purple manic" I use to have the black one too, but a friend of mine took it ^ ^

It again has a tip on how to use it

And on the skin it looks like this - eyeshadow, liner , both

And here it is on the eye + Mascara

What do I think?
It's small, so it's easy to take it around
It inclueds the brush you are going to need to put on your eyeshadow in the kit, so you don't have to bring another one
It's pigmented, but not too much - a very piggmented purple for a SE wouldn't be such a good idea
It stays a lot longer, because of the gel
You don't need a pencil/liner - witch is what I usually put
But it has only 2 colours and as I said - I use 4

Would I buy it again ? Yes

Cost: here it's 6.00 leva and something and here Essence's stuff is 50% more expensive, witch means somewhere around 3 euro



And now the way I like to do my SE ^ ^
Like i said 45678 times all ready I use 4 colours and follow this sceme. And Yeah it really looks bad done in PS, but I wanted you to see it the best way possible ^ ^

I numbered them from 1 to 4 startting from the lightest colour and ending whit the darkest one. As you can see I start whit applying number 2 all over my lid, then number 1 in the inner corner of my eye. Afetr that apply number 3 and in the end number 4 - like an eye liner.

Before even starting whit the eyeshadow I usually do a little trick I take a kajal pencil in a dark colour / what colour exactly depents on the colour of the SE / For example let's say we are doing a silver-black SE - we will take a black kajal pencil and apply it on the upper lid like a liner - you don't have to make it look good, it could be as messy as you want - put a lot at the outter corner of the eye and make it less and less as you go in. Then take a brush /I like the SE brush from Essence/ and smudge it all over. That way you get of a great start ! It really helps out - try it ^ ^
I also love using quattro eyeshado sets, because thy're colours always look good together. Like for example the quattro eyeshadow pallets From essence - like these two made whit I love denim and To die for - I have only them on, so you van see it better - I'm looking whit my eye a bit closed, so you can see it better ^ ^

If I used a kajal pencil for the first look it would be a dark blue one and for the second one a brown kajal.
Of course it's always good to use a primer before well everything, because that will help your make up stay in place for a longer time and also give it a fresh start ^ ^
Hope you liked it ^ ^
How do you do your SE ?

Brown Me Up ! Baby ^ ^

Here is another look, where I used mostly browns ^ ^ I used: - The Jumbo Eye pencil from the "In the jingle" TE /the brown one/ From Essence - Number 8 "teddy" kajal eye pencil from the regular range of Essence - The white kajal pencil /again from the regular range/ of Essence - A very cheap knock-off mascara ^ ^ - by Golden Rose ^ ^ How to do it: 1 ) apply the Jumbo pencil all over the eyelid /and if needed fix it, like I did/ 2) apply the brown pencil under the water line and as a eyeliner 3) apply the white pencil on the waterline 4) put just a little bit mascara, run it thru your lashes only once and don't out too much, just a little bit / like I did/

A little bit closed, for an intense look ^ ^

Blue Grass

Just a few older looks ^ ^ I'm going to start whiut this one, witch I named Blue Grass /i was also thinking of Green Sky/ So these are the products I used: - Essence MultiDim. eyeshadow - 07 blue lagoon - Essence Colour and Go - o4 Simply Me - Essence white kojl pencil - Catrice eyeshadow brush - Maybaline Mascara - One by One - Veryme double trouble eye pencil - goddess green

Soo, first you take your pencil and whit the blue side do a line on your upper led, next to your lashes / like a eyeliner/ from the inner corner to the middle of your eye. Do the same on the lower lid. Then use the green part and do the same, but this time start from the middle of your eye, where the blue ones ends, to the end of the eye and if you want do a cat eye look or whatever. After that you apply blue eyeshadow on your lid on up from the blue pencil and the the green one on top of the green one. Use as much as you want, I used a little but. And as far away as you go from the eye and blend it. Blending is really important here. I've used a bit of eyeshadow and it's only in my crese, but you can always extend it ^ ^Then apply the white pencil on your waterline - that makes you're eyes bigger - and put your mascara at the end and voyla

Just a bit more ^ ^

I'm ot writing anything, because I'm waiting for my fater to get back from Malaysha /or how ever it's spelled/ whit the camera, because for all the things I want to write, I have to take a picture ... and not having a camera really isn't working for me ^ ^ But he's coming back this Sunday, so I'll be posting on Monday ^ ^ I have a few previews in minds,a few swatches and some make-up ideas for the holidays ^ ^

Adidas Daily Scrub

Today we are going to talk about my fave shower gel - Daily Scrub by Adidas. The ph id very important if you want to have a nice skin and taking a shower everyday may really influence on the ph of your skin, so if you have to/want to take a shower everyday i recomend using special shower gel - everyday shower gels. My personal favorite is the Daily Scrub by adidas. It look like this:

It's actually a scrub, so it cleans your skin very good, but it's also really soft, you all most can't feel it. It has a very good aroma and it leaves your skin very soft, clean and smelling very fresh. I first tried it about two years ago, while I was still dancing and it really felled great.. I also use the same deo, so you won't have a problem here. There is even a body spray whit almoust the same smell, that goes perfect whit the scrub and deo... Also I will be havnig my first giveaway when i reach 10 followers ^ ^ /If I ever do ^ ^/

What can help you straight your hair ?

Naturally my hair is really wavy/curly and it can be a pain in the a** when I'm traying to make it straight. There are a lot of products to help you make your hair straight, but i didn't have big/any results whit most of them. I saw a product by Balea - a DM brand /German/, that can be found in any DM store in Europe. It looks like this and it cost around 4.00 euro /and here the others cost twice that much, at least/

How do I use it ? After I've washed my hair, I just put some in my hand /my hair is long-it passes my waist when straight/ - as big as a chessnut and put it all around in my hair and then 1) I blow-dry my hair - meaning i dry my hear and straighten it at the same time 2) i go to sleep and straighten it whit the straighter in the morning And this thing really helps my hair stay straight for a longer time, than if I don't use it. If i don't use it - the effect is visibale for the next 15 minutes at maximum and if I use it /depending on the wather/ it hold up until I wash my hair again, witch is great ^ ^

Sorry I haven't been on latley ^ ^ Won't happen again - promise ^ ^ So last week my cousin bouth herself a new mascara and they gave her 2 / she won it, she ahd to take out a piece of paper from a bow and she got the same mascara/, so she gave one of them as a gift. This is the newest mascara by Maybelline - Cata eye

As you can see it has a curve brush, similar to older brushes from the series, butthis one is smaller. It's actually better to have a smaller brush, because it helps you get to the root of all the lashes and the fact, that it's curved only helps. It does smell a little bit strange .... I'm not amazed by it and if I had to choose I will still choose the One by One /again from Maybelline/ I will upload some photos when i get my camera back from my Mom /she'll be back on the 14/
