Waterproof Eyeliner by Born Pretty Store | Review & Swatches

I`m such a massive eyeliner wearer, it is hard to imagine the day, when I don`t use a liquid eyeliner to complete my makeup look. Depending on the occasion and my mood I like to play around with the style and thickness of the wing, it could be more or less dramatic and has a shorter or longer tail, but I love to wear it so much. Recently I receive this Miracle Romance Waterproof Eyeliner Pen by Lomeou* for a test drive and it became my everyday obsession. 

Let’s  start from discussing the packaging of the eyeliner, shall we! I`m a person who easily gets attracted by the cute packaging of beauty products. This liner comes in a pretty white and pink box with a kitten silhouette - very simple and attractive. The eyeliner itself comes in a shape of a simple pen, that`s why it is so easy to work with the product and so comfortable to draw a line on your lids. The applicator of the Lomeou Waterproof Eyeliner is not hard, but has a soft nib on the end, it reminds me of an ink stick - traditional calligraphy tool, used in Japan. So when I play around with my eyeliner wing I feel like an ancient calligraphy master :3 The tip of the brush is very thin, so you can create a very precise and natural looking line, if you prefer a more neutral makeup. And of course you can draw a thin dramatic cat eyes with this liquid eyeliner as well. Even if you are new to makeup, you will not have problems when applying your eyeliner with Lomeou liner, I`m absolutely sure!

This eyeliner has a beautiful matte finish and amazing pigmentation. It dries right after the application, so you don`t need to worry about smudging it and ruining your eye makeup. It only needs one coat to be fully opaque and the color is very deep and intense. Miracle Romance Waterproof Eyeliner Pen by Lomeou claims to be waterproof. To tell the truth I don`t need my makeup products to last 24/7 or be waterproof, but I can guarantee that this eyeliner will last forever on your lids. I literally was wearing it all day long from early morning till the late night, and it barely smudged and haven`t lost it`s intensity. 

Miracle Romance Waterproof Eyeliner Pen by Lomeou retails just for $2.99 at the moment - great quality for such a small price I think! Born Pretty Store has a sale for beauty products, so hurry on to buy some treats for you and your loved ones.

18 Color Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette | Review & Swatches

Hi everyone, oh how I missed to review an eye shadow palettes! It is just so much pleasure to describe each colour shade for you my dears. I feel like I`m talking about the book I`ve recently read :) Few days ago I received a package with this beautiful 18 Color Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette* and since then I was so excited to show it to you guys. So let`s get started!

Carmela Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette comes in my favourite classic eye shadow case - sleek, glossy and very simple. The only thing is missing in the packaging is a mirror, but if you are going to use this palette for a professional needs, you don`t really need the mirror inside. Obviously it is not a travel friendly size, but you can easily store it in your makeup drawer or on the book shelf. Let me tell something interesting about this product. All the eye shadows in this palette are larger, than a regular eye shadows, that`s why these shimmer colours will serve you literally forever!

This entire palette has all the eye shadow colours you need to create an everyday makeup look or a dramatic smokey eye makeup. All the shades, except for the black eye shadow, are shimmer. Their texture is not chalky , but very silky and creamy. As a primer for the swatches you see on the pictures, I used a regular BB Cream. Let me try to describe colours and their finish for you:

                                     First Row:                                      

- White (shimmer finish)

- Light beige (shimmer finish)

- Neutral bronze (shimmer finish)

- Rusty bronze (shimmer finish)

- Bright gold (shimmer finish)

- Silver snow (shimmer finish)

Second Row:

- Ancient bronze (shimmer finish)

- Mild gold (shimmer finish)

- Walnut (shimmer finish)

- Dark bronze (shimmer finish)

- Pumpkin (shimmer finish)

- Navy gray (shimmer finish)

Third Row:

- Earth brown (shimmer finish)

- Orange (shimmer finish)

- Cold brown (shimmer finish)

- Olive brown (shimmer finish)

- Copper (shimmer finish)

- Black (matte finish)

To sum up my thought I wanted to say that I`m very satisfied with the quality of the eye shadows pretty much. All the eye shadows work very well together, they are pigmented and it is very easy to work with this palette. I wish a black eye shadow was a little bit more intense, but if you use a really nice primer, or apply it on the top of black pencil, the colour will stand out brighter. I`m almost totally sure, that it is possible to learn how to work with any makeup product you own, so don`t give up trying out new ways! Carmela Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette is very versatile and it`s making it suitable for everyone.

My Makeup Of The Day: Eyes - 18 Colors Shimmer Palette, Lips - BPS Lip Crayon

Duochrome Night Makeup for Brown | Green Eyes Tutorial

Are you ready for a new makeup tutorial? This time I`m going to show you how to give your favorite duochrome eye shadows a new life. The secret to it is super easy - use a creamy dark eye kohl as a base for your duochromes. The black canvas will help them to stand out brighter and demonstrate all the beautiful undertones they hide. For my today`s look I used a turquoise duochrome eye shadow with a light touch of glitter on the top. And for the bottom lash line I used a grayish blue matte shadows. Here is a step by step instructions to my look :

1. Prime your eyelids and start to apply a black eye kohl  or any other dark creamy kohl on the lid. This will be a base for our duochrome eye shadow.

2. Now it is time to apply duochrome eye shadow on the eye kohl. Try not to swipe them, but apply eye shadow with a gentle dabbing motion. 

3. Let`s work on our crease. Use a matte eye shadow to create a crease line.

4. Intensify the outer corner of the eye crease with dark matte eyeshadow and don`t forget to blend everything together.

5. Draw a beautiful dramatic wing with liquid or gel eyeliner.

6. Finish with some falsies, you can also apply just a little bit of transparent glitter or shimmer on the top of your eye shadow. And your duochrome night look is done ;)

Lots of love,

Konjac Facial Sponge with French Pink Clay | Review

I love to try out natural makeup and beauty products in my daily routine, but when you have an opportunity to use beauty tool, that was entirely made of natural material it is even more beneficial for the skin! Recently I got this Konjac Facial Puff Sponge with French Pink Clay* that was developed for those people, who has the most sensitive skin types and who need a special gentle treatment for the damaged and problematic areas of their facial skin. I was very interested to try out this product, because I heard many nice reviews about the konjac sponges before.

Konjac Sponge Co. has a diverse range of sponges made of natural plant called Konjac Potato or Konnyaku and other additional ingredients - clay, charcoal, chamomile and bamboo fibers. All of their sponges are hand made and tested for purity, so when you are using Konjac Sponge, you can be sure that your skin will receive the softest and purest treatment, I`m a lucky owner of Konjac Facial Sponge with French Pink Clay, so let me tell you a little bit more about this wonder.

Pink clay, or rose clay, is a mixture of red and white clay , this mineral is naturally rich in iron oxide and silica, it helps to improve circulation and repairs connective tissue of the skin. Pink clay is the softest of all the French clays, that`s why it is so good for damaged and dry skin types. Konjac fibers gently exfoliate and remove dry skin cells and clay improves it`s elasticity and refresh skin’s appearance. That`s sounds amazing, exactly what I need for my skin at the moment!

Before to use Konjak sponges you need to rinse it or dip in the water. Squeeze out excess water and it is ready to use! You can add a tiny drop of your favorite facial cleanser, or use the sponge on it`s own. Konjak sponges are very delicate, so be careful with it. After the usage rinse your sponge again and let it dry, you can put it in refrigerator, as advised on the Konjac Sponge Co. website, it will make your sponge last even longer. My little muffin already has a special place there :3 Please, never use the sponge when it is dry, to don`t damage your skin.

As I mentioned earlier, there are many different konjac sponges to choose from. Konjak Sponge has products for every skin type and condition, they have sponges even for delicate baby skin and for our home pets. You can check the variety of the products at Konjac Sponge Co. That`s all for today beauties, hope you enjoyed my review :*

Have you ever try KonjaC Sponges?

Lots of love,

Stemology Skin Care Haul + First Impressions

My skin has changed its condition in the last couple of weeks and now one of my new skin concerns is dryness in certain areas and dry patches. The weather is getting colder and drier, so I think, we all need a special winter treatment for our tender facial skin. It is important to choose the right products, that will gently clean, moisturize and at the same time will provide a natural nourishment to the skin. So I decided that today`s post I`ll dedicate to this important topic and tell you a little bit about the all - natural products by Stemology - very first skin care brand, that brought together both human and plant stem cell technologies. All of their products are meant to prevent the declining production of epidermal, collagen and elastin cells, which are the number one reasons of skin aging. Stemology uses only natural ingredients for their products, they are all GMO, Paraben and cruelty free. This sounds amazing!

Cell Renew Hydro-Plus Overnight Moisturizer*

The first product I wanted to show you is the brand new Stemology Cell Renew Overnight Moisturizer, which is a  multi - targeted skin moisturizer. This product restores skin's natural hydration levels, helps to remove toxins from the cells and fights against skin inflammation. While you are sleeping and seeing sweet dreams, Stemology Overnight Moisturizer decreases the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, so when you wake you can see the first results of it`s magical work - the skin looks tighter, refreshed and feels so silky!

Cell Refresh Hydrating Cleanser*

But we need to be sure, that our skin is fresh and clean before to apply the moisturizer. My skin always feels dry after I wash it with the cleanser. Cell Refresh Hydrating Cleanser gently cleans the skin and calms down any irritations and redness. It is acid free and the PH level is balanced, so the skin feels soft and hydrated right after you cleaned it. And you don`t even need to apply the cream after this procedure, that`s why Cell Refresh Cleanser is perfect for any skin type.

Cell Rescue Active Gel Toner*

And the final product it today`s Stemology skin care haul is the Cell Rescue Active Gel Toner, which was developed to prepare the skin to receive corrective actives and to normalize pH levels. You can use it right after you clean your face with the cleanser, or on it`s own to refresh the face and remove excessive oil. It is so much easier to use it, than a regular liquid toner. You don`t need to rub the face with cotton - just apply Cell Rescue Gel and gently massage it into the skin. And your skin is refreshed and hydrated again.

TelomErase Serum by Reviv Serums | Review & GIVEAWAY!

Investing in a good skin care products is a vital aspect for any beauty routine. If you want your skin to be healthy, glowing and beautiful you need to make sure that you are using a right product, with the maximum amount of natural ingredients. I was very happy, when I got an opportunity to try out TelomErase Triple Telomere Targeting Serum* - the first product of its kind with three proven age-erasing telomere targeters. 

What is a telomere? Telomeres are sections of our DNA found at the ends of each of chromosomes, they serve various purposes, such as protecting our DNA from damaging, helping to organize the cells and allowing our chromosome to be replicated properly during cell division. As we age we loose telomere bases from the cells, and they are no longer able to be replicated. TelomErase Serum by Reviv Serums reduces telomere shortening in stressed and non-stressed replicating human skin cells, maintaining telomere length. It also reduces heat shock protein release in stressed cells. As a result, this 6-in-1 multi-corrective technology  erases, tightens, brightens, blurs, moisturizes and regenerates. our skin. I know all this sounds to complicated, but the results are terrific! You can check out the detail description of the ingredients and see the before and after pictures of the results on the official Reviv Serums website here. 

And now let`s take a look at the product, I`m a lucky owner of two travel-sized samples, the full size product comes in a 60 ml / 2fl oz glass bottle, with a pump on the top. The serum itself has a cloudy yellow colour and a consistency of melted honey. It feels a bit thick and tacky on the skin, so I recommend you to apply TelomErase Serum right before sleep. The scent reminds me of wild field flowers, something like dry chamomile and lavender, I like it :) It does not make my skin oily, even though it takes some time to absorb. Even thought I just started to use it, I already see that my pores became less visible and my skin feels smoother. TelomErase Serum definitely needs more time before you can see the some drastic changes, but I`m very satisfied with the results I got already. 

How to use the TelomErase Serum? Just apply a thin layer of the serum on the freshly washed and dried skin with a gentle massage motions. You can use it absolutely everywhere you want - facial, neck, chest skin, even on your hands. It is recommended to use the serum once or twice daily for two to three months, then three times weekly thereafter for maintenance. I haven`t experienced any irritation or tingling sensation while using the TelomErase.

And now it is time for a little surprise! You have an awesome chance to join a Reviv Serums giveaway ! Three lucky winners will each receive a full-sized package of new TelomErase Serum, a $299 product with a current introductory sale price of $149. I wish everyone a good luck ;)

And also, I have a special 10 % discount code for all my lovely readers, just use code TIGHT 10 at checkout. This discount code is good through December 31, 2015, so hurry on to get your bottle of this magic Serum and start to erase age changes of your face.

Dark Navy Makeup Look | Step By Step Smoky Makeup Tutorial

You all probably know how much I love dramatic eye makeup looks, I say this almost in all my posts where I show you how I create my makeups :) But sometimes dramatic eyes can look a bit cheap and messy, so we need to follow few simple steps to avoid this. Today I`ll show you how to do a beautiful navy gothic eye makeup, using only few products and simple technique, so everyone even beginners can create this look without complications. Let`s start!

1. Smoky eye always requires perfect face base, without any redness and imperfections, so apply the primer, foundation and powder after you finish with eyes.

2. Fill in your eyebrows, try to make sure that they are not too dark, so your eyebrows will not distract from eye makeup, but at the same time they shouldn`t get lost on your face. 

3.  Prepare your eye lid for a makeup applying a primer. Try to apply primer exactly on the eyelid, don`t put it on the crease, or it will make the blending more complicated. If you don`t have eye shadow primer, you can use a little bit of concealer or foundation, this will help your smoky eye shadow to last longer.

4. Now we can start to apply the main eye shadow color you chose for your gothic makeup. I went for dark navy color. Put it on your eye lid and blend it out with the clean brush up to the brow bone. Add same eye shadow on the lower lash line and blend as well. 

5. The next step is the liquid liner or black eye pencil (as you prefer). Line your eyes, creating a dramatic wing, don`t forget to line the inner corner of your eyes to make them appear bigger and almond shaped. Highlight the brown bone and the inner corner of your eyes with white eye shadow or pencil.

6. Apply black eye pencil on the lower and upper waterline, this will intensify your eye makeup bringing more mystery and drama to the look. Curl your lashes and apply a nice coat of your favorite mascara. 

7. Finish up with some false lashes. When you will choose false lashes for gothic smoky eyes, I recommend to go for `mine, but better` lashes, try not to overload your makeup. 

8. Now you can clean up the fall outs and finish your usual foundation routine. For the lips I prefer nude and neautral shades, because bright lip makeup can distract the attention from the eyes. 

That`s all girls your dramatic smoky eyes are completed! For my look I used just two eye shadow colors - dark blue and white, black eye pencil, the pair of falsies and mascara. You`ll need just 5 minutes and a small amount of makeup products to recreate this look. I really hope you liked it, please let me know what you think in the comments below.

And what is your favorite eye makeup?

Lots of love,

3 Concept Eyes Full Cover Concealer | Review

Good day everyone, I`m back with the another 3CE review for you! This time I`ll tell you about 3CE Full Cover Concealer, which become my little saver lately. If you need a good concealer, that has a full coverage and will have a buildable formula you definitely need to try this one!

I`m a lucky owner of two travel friendly babies, but the full version of 3 Concept Eyes Concealer comes in exactly the same, but a little bit bigger packaging. It comes with a fluffy flexible applicator inside. It has a nice creamy texture, that immediately absorbs in the skin. The little of this concealer goes a long way and provides the thickest and at the same time the lightest coverage of the problematic areas. I like how smooth and light it feels on the skin. Usually I set my under eye concealer with a translucent powder, so I haven`t experienced any creasing in that area. Sadly, Full Cover Concealer is only available in 2 shades - # 1 light and # 2 medium, so this might not suit for all the skin types.

The Full Cover Concealer by 3CE has been a staple in my makeup bag for a past few weeks, and not only because it is so travel friendly. It is very easy to use, it blends perfectly into the skin and does it`s work absolutely great. I`m in love with the Korean products! If you have a severe dark circles or acne, and you need a good product to conceal these problems I recommend you to try  out 3CE concealer. You can also use it as a highlighter, apply the concealer on the highest points of your cheeks, on the bridge of your nose and a little bit on the cupid`s bow. It brightens up the areas beautifully, bringing more light and life to the skin. I would say the Full Cover Concealer formulation suits normal to oily skin types, but with a nice moisturizing primer will work on the dry skin as well.

And what is your favorite concealer at the moment?

Lots of love,

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner | Review

After I coloured my hair I needed to find some moisturizing conditioner, so I can do a deep conditioning treatment for them once a week. I know that it is possible to use the regular conditioner for this procedure, but I wanted to try a product with some serious reviving powers. That’s why I ended up picking up the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, because I heard so many overwhelming reviews about it. 

Aussie 3 Minutes Miracle has a very silky consistency, it is a little bit more runny, that a regular conditioner, that`s why a little bit of Aussie goes a long way. The list of ingredients includes Aloe Leaf Juice, Jojoba Seed Oil and Australian Sea Kelp, all of these natural ingredients can bring back to life even the most damaged and dry hair. And you don`t need to spend hours waiting, when this stuff will work. Just wash your hair with your favorite shampoo and apply Aussie Hair Conditioner for 3 minutes, rinse it up - and your hair is healthy and nourished again. If you have a combined hair type, which means your roots get oily, but the ends of your hair is quite dry, you can apply the conditioner only on the ends. It will help you to keep your hair fresh for longer and the dry ends will be smooth. And one of my favorite parts - the scent, it is simply amazing, it smells like a sweet sweet coconut milk and vanilla. Delicious :3

Let me just say in the end, that I love this product! The best part about the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, is that you can get it anywhere! You can order it online, buy it in Walmart or in any other drugstore you like. It is not expensive and for the price you`ll receive a smooth and shiny hair, and what is even more important - healthy! I will definitely substitute all of my regular conditioners with Aussie hair care products. I would highly recommend you to give this a try, you won`t regret I promise.

Lots of love,

Liz

My New Hair Colour | Maxton Hair Dye Review

Good day everyone! Some changes took place in my life recently, so I've decided to emphasize them even more and change my appearance a little bit and also decided to share my little experience with you guys. I`m very conservative about everything that includes my hair, I don`t like to change my hair care products or do different hairstyles. I just let them in peace, my hair grows as it wants :) The last time I dyed my hair I dyed it with a Garnier Olia - ammonia free hair colour, which included natural oils. I loves the result, but it lasted for about three months. So after some time my natural hair colour reappeared and looked dull and had a strange brassy undertone to it. 

For my hair makeover I bought two packs of a famous Brazilian drugstore brand called Maxton. The colour I chose calls `3.0 Castanho Escuro` or `Dark Brown`. There is a tube of cream dye and a 20 % developer in each pack, along with a pair of plastic gloves, to protect the hands from the dye. All you need to do is to squeeze the dye into the bottle with the developer and shake them all together very well. My husband kindly helped me to apply the dye on the back of my head and spread it along the length of my hair, he did all the hard work for me :3 The smell was kind strong, because of the ammonia obviously, but nothing too bad.

As a result - pretty dark hair colour, without any damage! I was afraid a little but, that my hair will turn into a bundle of straw, but everything is okay. My hair still feels soft, healthy and it shines beautifully on the sun. That`s all about my new hair colour guys, I hope you liked to read my post and even learn something from it. Talk to you soon again!

Lots of love,

Liz
