The big mascaras review ^ ^

Ok, os this is the big Mascara topic, we are going to talk about 8 differend mascaras and talk about the right way to put it on.
These are the mascaras I currently own:

First we are going to see the mascaras, and then we are going to talk about the right ways to apply a mascara ^ ^ The first picture is the mascara, the second one is the wand and the last one - how it stays on the eye. In all of the photos I've got only one coat of mascara on, whit out any twisting, turning,shaking or whatever... I wasn't even that preciced, like if you are in a hurry ... Hope you get the idea ^ ^

It has a small wand/brush witch very comfortable, because you can get to every little single lash.
I'm really sad it's discontinued, because it really was very good. It doesn't smudge and is super easy to remove, but in the same time stays on your lashes for a super long time. If you see it in your beauty shop, i would recommend buying it ^ ^

This was /because it's discontinued a long time ago/ my fave essence mascara. The brush looks like a small comb, so it "brushes thru" every lash ^ ^

I actually got this mascara as a gift from oriflame, when I used to sell it. Wjen i looked at the brush, it wasn't amazid, but it turned out great ^ ^

This is the only waterproof mascara i have at the moment, to be hones I don't like it - it's not waterproof and it makes my lashes appear shorter and fewer then they are normally...

Here in Bulgaria we don't have decorative cosmetics from Nivea, so I was very happy when the sweet Natalie sended this to me for my birthday in the summer. I love it, and I'mstill wondering why don't we have it here ...

Again - small brush, easy to get too, the curved wand make it easer to get to the rooths of the lashes, it has a bit of a strange smell.

One of my top 3 mascaras, I know it doesn't look much in the picture, but it's amazing in real liffe ^ ^

My fave mascara of all time ! I love it ! It normally cost 28 leva, but from time to time MAxFactor makes promotion and sell them on a special price - the difference is the colour of the packaging - first it was purple, then pink and now as you can see - gold /i had all of them btw/ and they cost only 12.90 leva, wotch is a lot lot cheaper. Around christmas I had a bit more money, so I even got 2, not that I don't have enough mascaras all ready ... It's pigmented, it has an amazing brush, it's just perfect ^ ^


Now, when I see the pictures I see that the pictures look very alike, believe me in real life they all look complitly differenr, I hope you can still see the differences.

SO now let's talk about the right way to pun on a mascara
1. Yous hould always start whit your lower lashes, if you start whit the upper ones when you look up to apply the mascara on the lower lashes, you will leave dots from your upper lashes on your skin under the brow.
2. You should start all the from the roots for a more dramatic effect, if you are going for a more natural look, leave some space.
3. While applying the mascara on your lashes, if you roll the wand uppwords, it will help your lashes separate them self, and if you move it from left to right whit small fast movements, it will help them be longer.
4. Experts say that the perfect lashes should have 4 coats of mascara whit a 30 seconds time between the coats.
5. You should use your mascara for a maximum of 3 months after you've opened it, otherwise it will start shredding and make small black dots on your lashes /like in my case, most of the mascaras I just showed you are opened more than months ago/. This is my biggest mistake I make - i have a lot of mascara, but I continue to buy more and more and the minute I buy them - I have to try them on .... Please don't make my mistakes ^ ^
Hope you've enjoyed this, I', actually suposed to be studying for my folklore exam in Sunday, but this is more helpful ^ ^

Crystalliced highlighter and glitters review

Здравейте ! Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been that active, but it's exam time ^ ^
I don't know about your countries /cities/ but here it's snowing like never before /well at least for 50+ years/ and it's cold - around - 30 every morning, so I finally got the feeling of winter time.
There is this Essence TE called "Crysralliced", sadly we didn't have it here, but a few days ago the sweet,sweet Natalie /her blog by the way is one my fave - http://nataliesbeautyland.blogspot.com/ / wrote me, that they have it stores, so she asked me if I want something and she was sweet enough to sent them to me. /Here is place to say, that the greek post office does a much better job than ours - i got her for less than 28 hours, and the things I've sent haven't made it yet/
/don't mind the BG, I'm listening to music again/

So the first thing was the liquid highlighter, here the cheapest one I've seen cost around 80 leva, so I really wanted to try one.

First of all I like that it has a pump, it's so much easier. When it comes out it looks light grey and shimmery. When you smudge it it has a grey undertone and shimmer. On the last picture you can see how it reacts on light, it's all over my hand, but you can only see the "bright" side, that's turned to the light. It looks really good on the face, because you use it only on some parts, where you want /for example under the eyes/above the cheekbones, on the bridge of the nose,a small part under the brow ... depending on the featers of your face/ I wouldn't say that its for everyday, because of the shimmer, but having in mind that I use make-up mainly, when I go out, or when I go on stage/dancing, talking,hosting or whatever/, it's perfect for me. Besides it's winter and the glitter looks like small snowflakes ^ ^

They are so cute <3 This is shimmery glitter for the body and face /sorry you can't see it very good, my camera sux/ Again I wouldn't say it's for everyday use, but if you use just a little bit, than it's perefct ^ ^ The other trick you can use here is - you take your fave body lotion, you add a bit glitter /not even 1/4 of the whole thing, really just a small part/, then you shake it very,very,very well and you have a glittery body lotion /esepshaly for the summer/ A few years ago I use to do this all the time, when we had body glitter ^ ^



Just wanted to say Thank you again to Natalie, for sending these, THANK YOU <3 <3 <3

Disco Tech Top Coat review

What is it ? Well it's a transplanet top coat that glows under the UV lights, witch means that everytime you walk by UV lights all the eyes will be on your glowing nails ! No matter if you are in a disco, club, cafe ... it just looks great ^ ^ This one i by Miss Sporty and it cost somewhere around 2 euro. Before it I've used a similar one by "Perfect", but they no longer make that top coat. To be honest, I didn't find a big difference between the Miss Sporty one and the Perfect one,the only one I could find, was that the Miss Sporty one dries qucker. It really is a fun "must have" for every party lover ^ ^

Virtual make-over

Ok, so there are a lot of sites out there for virtual make-overs, but I must say my fave one is http://www.taaz.com/
There you can choose one of the models or upload your own picture. I like the fact, that the produucts you use are real, not just made-up colours, you can see witch product your putting on,in witch shade and even how much does it cost. You can also put on diferend hair styles and save your "work of art"

For example, from this picture:

You can do this:

Body Lotions /review/

First I would like to say sorry for being a bit slow, but m season starts today in uni, so I had a lot of things to do ^ ^

So today I'm going to talk about my two fave body lotions - One from Garnier and the other one is from Balea ^ ^
This how they look like /don't mind the background, I'm just listening to music/

First let's review the one by Garnier
I must say I'm pretty happy whit my skin, I don't get spots, I don't burn in the sun, I get tanned fast .... But last year I got some stuff injected in me, because i pass out a lot and from that i got "orange skin" on the top parts of my arms /I have no idea what are they called/ , this means that i got small pages on my arms, that were just like the peel of an orange and when i go on the sun, they don't get tanned /I'm so happy it's over now/ and that's when i really stared trying all kinds of dierent body lotions and in the end I found the perfect one for me - Garnier Body - body repair lotion. It's for dry skin. This year they had new lotions and there was one for really dry skin - I didn't like it ... But having in mind, that this lotion helped me whit the orange skin situation... talks for it's self ^ ^ I still use it /not every day, but i try to use it as often as I can/. The smell is good, but nothing special ^ ^ It makes your skin smoother and gives it a pretty good look ^ ^ Here it costs around 7 leva and Garnier doesn't transform they're prices, so I guess it should be around 7 euro ?

The other lotion I like is the summer LE "summer glam" from Balea /DM drogerie/
I love it's glitter, it has small glittery parts, that stay all day/night, look great under the sunlight or the artifical /my spelling is getting worse, I should write more often in english ^ ^/ lights. It smell is great /coconut milk/. I like the fact that the glitter isn't "in your face", it's not too much, it's just perfect ^ ^ This also doesn't transform it's price and here it was 4.19 leva, witch means - 4.19 euro ... It was a LE, but we still have it, so ... ^ ^

Have a nice day and remember, that skin care is very important ^ ^

Cheetah / snow cheetah make-up ideas

Hey everyone ^ ^ I knew I said will do a review, but my battery is dead, so I will just have to do whit some older stuff.
Two of my friends wanted to be cheetah and a snow cheetah for Halloween this /last/ year and asked me to do they'r eyes. So I tried the looks on me at home ^ ^
I did one of my eyes in brown and the other in white/silver.
When doing a cat involved look, the extended eye is very important. And knowing how to do it right is also very important. For example, in my case - I have rounder eyes, so if I put black /in this case/ eyeliner all over my lash line - that won't be a good idea, because my eyes will always look even rounder /that's the reason my eyes are all most closed in 90% of the pics I upload/
For round eyes, it's best do devide your eye in 3 sections - from the inner corner of your eye to the part where the iris begins, the whole iris is the 2 section /iris = the colour of the eye/ and the 3rd one - from the iris to the outer corner of the eye. Than you put liner only on sections 1 and 3 /and you may put a very thin line on the 2nd section/
First you apply the shadows, then you make the "cat" lines, than you make the cheetah prints and last, but not least you put on your fave mascara /if you want you can put on fake lashes on, or only half fake lashes on the outer corner of the eyes/
So I'll start whit the brown cheetah - for it I used only Essence products /exept the mascara/

- Jumbo pencil /brown one/ from the In to the Wild TE
- Brown eyeshadow from the pocket beauty Glamor and Go pallet
- Eyeliner pen

1 Apply the Jumbo eye pencil all over the lid
2 Apply brown eyeshadow on top of the pencil /the pencil will help to keep it "stuck"/
3 Draw the inner corner of the eye
4 Draw the outer corner
5 Draw the cheetah print - this is super easy - just make "c" faced to each other, circles ... They don't have to pe perfect, because in real life the cheetah print isn't perfect ^ ^
6 Here is the time to add some kind off false lashes if you want /As you can see - I didn't/
7 Apply mascara - in this case I used a mascara from Imapla - I'm not that of a fan of theyr mascaras... but theyr eyeliners are to die for ^ ^


White

- White gel eyeshadow from Miss Sporty
- White shadow from the Glamor to go pallet from Essence
- White shimmery eyeshadow - starlight by Essence
- Eyeliner pencil

Repeat the steps from above, first apply the gel eyeshadow /if you decide to/, the the white one and just a lill' bit of the shimmery one. Everything else is the same ^ ^

Here are some other photos of the look, have you ever tried doing the cheetah print ?
