New cosmetics: Autumn 2014

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

I'm actually on holiday now and I'm not supposed to be blogging...buuut I'm waiting for my friend to come pick me up so I might as well write something while waiting. My last post about new cosmetics I bought was posted about two months ago and included what I got in July, August and September. This post includes the make-up I got in October and November. Let's get started!

What you see in the picture is all I got in the last two months. As you know I'm trying not to buy too much stuff because my make-up kit is already pretty big and I don't want things to expire before I've used them up.

1. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

I needed some more pink and golden shades for my make-up kit so I decided to get this palette when I found a 10% off code on www.feelunique.com. I have used all of the 12 shades in the past month and

Autumn leaves MOTD

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

Just posting a quick autumn MOTD with UD's Vice 3 Palette. The palette is so pretty - it arrived yesterday and I just had to try it today. I did a red x gold smokey eye because I love autumn so much. These colours remind me of fallen leaves. I also used my favourite fall lip product - the lipgloss from Dita Von Teese's collaboration with Artdeco. A nice blood red colour.

THEATRICAL: Zipper & The Sandman Death make-up

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

Look 1

Yes, the zipper look has been done a million times already but I wanted to do something artsy so…I turned the house upside down and found this really old gray zipper. I used eyelash glue to stick it on my face and then did the white to black gradient.

Stippled cut crease, Spiders, Phantom, Blue x purple

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

Just posting some looks I've been working on lately. I hope you like them :)

1. Stippled Cut Crease - I got the inspiration from @claudiayvette's Instagram. First I applied a white base on my lids and then the silver shade from Urban Decay's Electric Palette on top. I drew the cut crease and did the dots with a felt tip liner (Inglot's Liquid Liner is really nice). 

2. Spiders - I've been seeing a lot of these 3D Spiders on Instagram lately. I first tried drawing the spider on my hand with liquid liner about two weeks ago and really liked the result. I was bored last night so I did a quick doodle on my face. I'm still learning how to make the spiders more realistic, I need more practice but it's so much fun!

3. A blue & purple cut crease - It's a quick look I did on my colleague at the make-up course I'm doing at the moment. I used Urban Decay's Electric Palette, NYX Pink glitter and some random blue glitter. 

4. The Phantom Of The Opera - I'm a big fan of the book and the musical so I decided to transform myself into the phantom! I used some white foundation for the mask (Illamasqua White Skin Base) and covered the edges with fake blood. 

I hope you found some inspiration here ~~

Till the next time!

Halloween?

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello! 

I realize Halloween was almost a week ago, but I fnally got down to writing the post. I've been doing so much fantasy/theatrical make-up lately and I had so many ideas in my head..It was difficult for me to decide who to be on Halloween. I decided on a weird-victorian-porcelain-doll look inspired by Claudia of The Vampire Chronicles, gothic lolita and gyaru.  I realize I don't look like myself at all but that's what I love - having a different face every day and transforming myself into different characters. You can see the pics from the Halloween party I went to at the bottom of the post. 

Doctor Who / Sci-fi inspired Make-up

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

As I've mentioned so many times…I love Doctor Who! After watching another episode of the show I got the inspiration to do some quick make-up, inspired by the show. I have a galaxy on my face and the TARDIS landed there too :)) 

FAVS: October - tv series, books, beauty, food

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!


I'm currently doing a make-up course and I have other obligations too, so i've been quite busy lately but a lot of things made me happy this October. Here I'm going to share with you what some of these things are. I'd love to read what made YOU happy last month :)

TAG: The Make-up Addict Tag

*Превод на български най-долу*

Hello!

I've never been tagged before so i was really happy when i saw Beauty Galore had tagged me to do the make-up addict tag. Honestly, i wouldn't call myself an "addict" - i like cosmetics, but i rarely buy new stuff for myself. This is why i don't do reviews often. I'm trying to use what i already have so it won't expire. 

Let's get started!

1. Which product do you still keep buying more of despite having plenty in your collection?

Highlighters! I like highlighters because they add a really nice glowing effect to the face and look awesome in pictures. I adore NARS Albatross, MAC Vanilla pigment, MAC Soft'n'gentle MSF and MAC Lightscapade MSF. Also, they are very pigmented so they last a long time, which is really good considering they are not cheap. For example, i've had MAC Soft'n'Gentle since 2010 and i've barely made a dent in it, so it will definitely last me 2-3 more years. My favorite drugstore highlighter is Bourjois' Beige Rose eyeshadow which looks absolutely gorgeous on the cheekbones. I'd love to try Estee Lauder's Heat Wave and Becca's Opal one day.
