A few days ago I finally watched Tom Cruise's new movie The Mummy. Growing up as a huge action-adventure fan I loved The Mummy franchise with all my heart, so I was absolutely thrilled to watch the new version of a good old classic movie. And even though I have mixed feelings about the new Mummy, but I'm absolutely in love with the stunning Egyptian makeup look worn by Princess Ahmanet.

four beauty balms are laying on a stack of fashion magazines

My makeup obsession have started around five years ago and one of the first thing I have discovered in a beautiful world is the magical power of BB cream. BB Cream is a perfect choice for a day to day usage, especially if you can't stand heavy full coverage foundations or have exhausted dry skin. The first BB cream I have ever tried was a tube of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector and it was not good. This cream was too dark for my skin, it had alcohol in the formula and overall was very awful, the only positive thing about this product was an SPF 15.

rainbow highlighter close-up on a rosy studio's background

During the hot summer days, I prefer to highlight my cheekbones using powder highlighters. Dry illuminators, shimmers, and highlighters are not greasy, therefore they are the best option for everyone with an oily skin type, especially during the summer. I personally have a dry skin type, but even my skin starts to melt in the summer's heat and I can't imagine using an oil-based highlighter for my cheekbones.

August last summer month and we all can feel the fresh breath of the forthcoming autumn. But luckily for everyone who was born in August this month has probably the most beautiful birthstone - the mysterious and peculiar Peridot gemstone. Peridot, also known as 'the Evening Emerald', is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: an olive-green. The intensity of the green color can vary from very light lime green to a deep forest green shade and if you look closely at a raw Peridot gemstone you will catch all shades of yellow-green color.
