Make-Up of the Day

Image
Today I felt like having a bit more of make-up on my face and as the weather was nice- not windy, so my hair wouldn't stick to my lips, my eyes wouldn't tear, it was just a good opportunity. The products I've used, that are the most visible in this look are here: My Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade Happy Nude Year, my favourite eyeliner, which is the Lasting Drama Black Shock gel liner from Maybelline, and my current favourite mascara, which is the Urban Decay Perversion one. After a long day, my spot got visible again, and I didn't try to cover it up for the photos any more. It's just a spot, and I can't do anything about it, so let's just don't care about it. My lips are pretty coral colour- I've used two layers of the matte lip gloss/ not gloss whatever, and I really like how long it stays on. You can already tell that it is fading on the inner side of my lips, but again, I didn't want to fix it any more. On my eyes ...

Neat Bun for Long Hair | Hair

Image
After College I decided to very quickly film a short tutorial about the hair style I wore some days ago, when the wind was just the worst I've ever experienced. I tried to show you how I did this look and even though I think it doesn't look too pretty, it is just a good way sometimes to keep your whole hair up, if it is very heavy and long - just as mine, and won't stay in a messy bun for longer than two minutes. Here's the tutorial I just filmed for you :) Go and check it out quickly! Hair Tutorial -Olivia ~20.01.2015~

My Thoughts on Dry Shampoo

Image
Many of you will already know, from my previous hair posts or just from "real life", that I have quite thick hair, and it is long as well. For this reason I am not able to wash my hair every day. It also doesn't get greasy for about two days, so I wash it usually twice a week if possible. On the third day I already feel like I need to wash my hair but sometimes I just don't have enough time in the morning and wait until the evening. However, I feel very uncomfortable and even though people tell me that my hair looks clean and just shiny, I can't stand the feeling of dirty hair. On these days I grab my Batiste dry shampoo, which is cherry scented and try to handle my hair somehow before I leave the house. Everyone seems to love dry shampoos, but I have mixed feelings about them. First of all I have to say that I always have one at home, just in case. I like the smell of this one and I also like how you can still smell it after hours of wearing it. But, I nev...

Naked On The Run | Eye Make-up

Image
Today I wanted to share something quick with you, but since the computer has been occupied for the last four hours I wasn't able to upload anything yet, which annoys me a lot because my readers stop coming back to my blog and I end up with 20 views a day, after more than a year of blogging. I feel like this doesn't bring me anywhere and that it is just a waste of time and just pointless. But, for the ones who will check what's new here, I tried the Urban Decay Naked on the Run eyeshadows, to show you how they work and look like on the skin. First of all, I used the lightest shade, in the right bottom corner -5050, on my whole eyelid, using the EcoTOOLS Full Eyeshadow Brush. This is a very light shade and barely noticeable, but it's nice for a base. Then in the outer V and the crease I added the beautiful shimmery rose/coppery shade-Dive using the EcoTOOLS Shade end from the double ended brush Duo. I really like this colour and it is probably my favour...

Hands and Feet | Soap&Glory heroes

Image
I am absolutely impressed by all the Soap&Glory products I've tried yet and I can safely say that it is definitely one of my favourite brands. My first hand cream I got was the Hand Food, but I've run out of it months ago and always forget to get a new one. But I got one for my mum and aunt for Christmas as they love it too. But as an early Christmas gift I got the biig box of Soap&Glory goodies and these two heroes were part of it too. Now, the Hand Dream hand cream (obviously), smells just as the Hand Food it seems to me, just heavenly. It really absorbs fast and your hands instantly feel way softer! They are also not greasy or sticky, which is a good point too. Soap&Glory say it is a 5-in-1 fast absorbing dry skin relief with moist-u-rub 24h, rejuvenating fruitplex. It contains AHAs, grapeseed, macadamia and shea butter. It seems like it really is a super cream and I will definitely stick to it this winter. The Heel Genius foot cream is something I...

Maya's First Walk | Ferret Time

Image
Some days ago I ordered a ferret leash/ harness from Amazon and thought it would be quite useful, should we need to go out with Maya, or even just to train her at home. It arrived today in the morning and we decided to go for a walk with our dear little ferret girl. I think she was a bit confused because of all the different sounds, smells, people, dogs on our walk, but then we are also sure that she was very curious and wanted to smell everything and would stay in one place for some minutes. As it is pretty cold outside we took her little blanket with us to wrap her up should she be freezing, and actually at the end of the walk she really stayed in it and was very calm, so it looks like it was a good idea. When we left the house the weather was beautiful, it was sunny and the sky was cloudless. On our way back home we decided to take the bus because it started snowing unexpectedly. I even left the laundry in the garden to dry but unfortunately it got a bit wet when we arrived. A...

Empty Products | January

Image
Lately I kind of didn't feel like it was already time for some new empties, but today I realised that there is quite a lot of stuff that I'd be happy to get rid of already,  so here's the entry about those products: Hair: I collected two hair products this time and one was cool, the other one was horrible. For some time now I've only used Tresemmé hair shampoos and tried out some that seemed to be good for my hair. This time I went for the shampoo which is said to be suitable for all hair types and was sure I couldn't do anything wrong with this one - wrong! I am pretty sure this shampoo contains no siliciones and that the problem is caused by that fact. Well, it smells very nice and it promises what I wanted. The consistency is not creamy unlike the other Tresemmé shampoos I've tried, but feels like jelly and is blueish transparent. While applying it to my hair it felt alright,  but once I tried to rinse it, it wouldn't come out of my hair at all....
