favourite eye product at the moment and FOTD


I've been using Benefit's Eye Bright probably everyday
since the day I got it 3 months ago!
It has transformed my daily makeup routine, no joke!
It's so versatile: can be used as a brow highlight,
cheek highlight, to bright up the under eye circles
or on waterline (which works miracles on tired eyes!)



That picture is a little washed out-
it's a bit more pink, light shade of creamy pink.



I've been also using it blended in the inner corner
of my eyes and waterline.
I think it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake.



(On that pic I'm wearing my fave
beige sweater of the moment from Zara )

face of the day


Hey Dollies!

A quick face of the day :-)
This summer very often I was going for a neutral
look with a pop of colour- usual blue, violet or pink
on the lower lashline.
Easy and quick:-)
Like so:



Easy breezy lol
It really makes the eyes stand out
without spending lots of time on make up.

Besides, I'm in love with coral blushes
(Benefit's Coralista is my go to blush)
and Benefit's Eye Bright on the waterline
works wonders!

hair update + FOTD

Hello my Lovelies!
Long time, no see.
I'm sorry to be gone for so long,
but I've been extremely busy recently.

I'm moving tomorrow to a bigger flat:D
I'm super excited!

I also lost now 11 kg:)
It happened sort of naturally as
I'm really busy now with collage,
work, choosing uni for september,
busier social life:)
I feel really good and fit, so yay:D

My hair is so long now
and I'm loving it.
I cut and style it myself.
I've been doing that for ages now.
I also have them lighter now,
I'm into caramel-ish shade at the moment.

Makeupwise, often in the morning
I'm going for a simple smokey eye
and nude lips but I still enjoy
colours, especially now, when spring is coming:)



I feel very positive recently.
All the changes gave me an amazing boost of confidence:)

Hope that you are all well
and share my spring (?!) optimism LOL

Promise to come back permanently soon,
once all the craziness is finished:)

muah!

26 February 2010

FOTD

I woke up this morning
feeling a little down.
Life has been rather complicated recently
but whose isn't?!

Anywho, I started preparing for college
and I thought that pink would make my day
more colorful=)



I've also worn a beanie because
it's been raining here for couple
of days now. Plus, it's still quite cold.



I'm wearing bareMinerals foundation
and I truly love it.
It leaves my skin so radiant.



Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Yay for the long hair!:)
My hair grows so quickly.

FOTD





For my make up today I used an orange
kohl pencil from Primark
(I blogged about it yesterday).

I have lots of different pencils in my
collection: Clinique, Body Shop, Lancome, Urban
Decay, L'oreal etc and most of them are black, brown or
grey so I'm exited that I found these cheap babies so
I can play with the colours.

I like the way it makes the contrast with the
green colour of my eyes.







Currently listening to:



Love,

Stella

Friday FOTD



Hello my lovelies!

I know that I look a little surprised on this pic lol
but just wanted to show you how a white colour
in the waterline can change the eyes.
I've been quite busy recently and I managed to sleep
only 4h today and a white liner makes the
eyes look fresh and less tired.
Also, my skin tends to be more pale
when I'm tired so I'm super white today lol
