The world I live in

Hello guys!

January is almost over. I know I keep saying that every time I'm writing a new favorite products but it's so crazy how fast the time goes. I didn't get so many new pieces this month but I have a lot of products I haven't shown you yet from a previous months so I think this is a good opportunity. Let's get started.

Hello guys!

I asked you on Twitter if you would like to see my daily makeup routine and most of the answers were yes so here it is. I did my makeup routine before, I think it was two years ago but it is a bit different now and I'm also using a different products. So if you are interested in how I created this look, keep reading.

Step 1

Let's start this routine with some primer. I think that every person needs a good base under your foundation. I use this Moisturizing Face Fluid from Manufaktura, this is not primer but I really love it and it does the same work as a normal primer. I just apply it with my hands all over my face and then I wait 2-3 minutes before applying my foundation.

Step 2

Another easy step is to apply a foundation. I'm using Match Perfection from Rimmel. I did mention it in my favorite products so if you're reading my posts, you will definitely know that. I'm using shade 100 Ivory and I think it's perfect for the fall and winter. I apply it with my Beauty Blender, I think it is easy to apply with and it also looks very natural. I was using a brush before but I think I was applying too much product with it...

Step 3

The next step is applying concealer. I have to say that lately I don't use concealer at all but I need to start. So when I use it, I apply it under my eyes, on my nose, chin, forehead and sometimes on the lawer jaw. I'm using concealer Liquid Camouflage from Catrice, this is one of the best concealers I've ever used. Then I just blend it in with my beauty blender. Make sure that it is blended with your foundation well.

Step 4

Let's do some contouring! I was using this Dew the Hoola from Benefit in the summer all the time because I used it instead of my normal foundation. But now when the winter is coming and I'm pale again, I'm using it as a liquid bronzer. I apply it under my cheekbones and on the sides of my forehead and blend it in with how else than my beauty blender.

Step 5

Then I use my solid bronzer and this is Hoola from Benefit. I use it on the same spots as I used my liquid bronzer which is under my cheekbones and sides of my forehead, plus I also use it with my fingers or a small brush on the sides of my nose. I apply it with my brush no. 124 from BH Cosmetics, I really love this brand, I have a whole set from them and I'm really happy with their products.

Step 6

I think this is my favorite part of the whole routine and it is applying highlighter. This is absolutely ma favorite one and it's called Mary-Lou Manizer from The Balm. I use it on my cheekbones and also on the top of my nose. I use is before also on my chin and above my lips but I don't do these steps now, but you can do it as it works best for you. And I have to mention that I'm using my brush from BH Cosmetics no. 125. It is from the Sculp and Blend 2 brush set if you're interested.

Step 7

Then I just powder the rest of my face, mainly under my eyes, chin and forehead. I love to use this HD Studio Photogenic Powder from NYX, this is a loose transparent powder and I think it's the best powder because your makeup will last all day and you won't be shiny or glossy. I'm using the same brush as I used for bronzing my face. I don't know if it's the best idea, but I love this brush and I just don't want to use another one. Maybe I need to buy two of them.

Step 8

Eyebrows here we go! I hate, hate and hate my brows but you certainly know that because I keep saying that again and again. You would hate is as well if you had the same brows as I have. But nevermind, I brush my brows with the brush on the Groof Proof Brow Pencil from Benefit. This pencil has two sides, which is very handy because you don't have to look after some brow brush and you have it on your pencil as well. I love this pencil it is one of my favorite. So after my super thick eyebrows are brushed, I use the pencil to draw the brows. It's not so hard even for me, I just draw the edge of my brows and then I just fill it. And always make sure that both brows are the same.

Step 9

I really love that trend of feather brows, so I got this brow gel called Ready, Set, Brow! also from Benefit. It is a transparent gel that keeps your brows in the place. The brush is rubber and has two sides, I use both of them I just don't see any differents between them. So I brush my brows with this brow gel and then I let it dry and brush it again.

Step 10

I cannot forget my mascara. My lashes aren't the longest so I need to put more layers of mascara. This one is from Bourjois and it is Volume Glamour Ultra Black. I probably used better mascaras but this one is also good, it doesn't smudge, fall and it lasts all day. 

Step 11

The last step are lips! Sometimes I use only lip balm, but when I want to look more sassy, I use my liquid lipstick. This one is Soft Matte Lip Cream from NYX. I don't have to forget lip pencil that I use before applying my lipstick. This lip pencil I'm using is from Essence and it's called just Lipliner and I have it in shade In The Nude.

Well, and I'm done! Here is the final look. It's very easy and quick, I have it done in 15-20 minutes. How do you like it? Will you try it too? Let me know!

Hello guys!

The new month is here and with that comes a new products. We had the Marianne Days two weeks ago here, for those who doesn't know what it is, it is a weekend of discounts. I definitely had to go, because I needed to buy some new cosmetics, I visited Sephora where I left some money. Let's take a look at what I got.

The first item I'm going to show you is this brow gel called Ready, Set, Brow! from Benefit. I used eyebrow gel from Loreal before and I was really happy with that, but in the Czech Republic don't produce the color I had, so I decided to try something different. I found this transparent brow gel from Benefit and I read a very positive reviews so I gave a try. I'm very glad I did because this gel is just amazing. It lasts all day, it doesn't stick your brows and it is easy to apply. It has two sides, one side has longer bristles and one side has smaller bristles. First, I use longer bristles, then I let it dry a bit and then I use shorter bristles.

Another favorite product is this mini lip balm from Sephora called Kiss Me Balm. This is a mini version of the original one, I got it for free for my purchase. I really like how it looks, it is so cute in my opinion. But I also think it comes very handy when you don't want to carry on some big balm, you can keep it in your pocket or purse. This balm is available in multiple colors, so you can choose which color do you like the most. It leaves a bit of color when you applying the balm but I don't mind because I like this pink color.

The next item are these Green Tea Exfoliating Wipes also from Sephora. I showed you a coconut cleansing wipes from Sephora in my previous post, but it ran out so I decided to try these ones. These are also cleansing and makeup removing, but they are a bit different. One side is thicker and it serves as exfoliation and to remove dead cells, and the other side is to remove your makeup and cleanse the skin. I like these wipes, I like green tea and it removes your makeup well, it is also good for eye makeup. But the thicker side is too harsh for me, I have a sensitive skin and it makes my skin irritated.

Another item I have to mention is this Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara from Bourjois. I have never tried mascara from this brand but I saw some reviews and were all positive, so I decided to try one too. I was using my favorite mascara Lash Sensational from Maybelline but as you know I like to try new products. I'm really glad I bought this mascara because it is amazing. It doesn't smudge, doesn't stick your lashes and it doesn't crumble. The only not good thing is that this mascara is little bit drier, so I think it won't last long, but maybe I got the wrong piece and not every piece is like that.

My another favorite thing is this Makeup Sponge from Beauty Blender. This is my third beauty blender I think and I really don't want to change it ever. I used other sponges and they were good as well, but the original beauty blender is just top. I got this one because I really like a new design, it looks like tie-dye and even it is not so beautiful anymore because of all the makeup, I still love it. I also started using a beauty blender to apply my foundation, I used my makeup brush before but I think when I apply it with the sponge, it looks more natural and you will not apply so much product on your face.

The last item is also from Sephora and it is this Instant Moisture+ Cream. I'm not totally sure but I think I have tried this moisturizer before but I had just a small tester. Anyway, I have a dry skin and this cream moisturizes, softens and nourishes my skin well. This is just a small version but I will think about to buy a normal version after this run out. And it smells amazing!

Hello guys!

The summer is slowly coming to an end which is a shame because I love summer and I don't want the fall to be back... I prepared for you another post about my favorite products of August. I don't wear much makeup during the summer days so I didn't get many things as usual but I have something to show you.

Let's start with this Goof Proof Brow Pencil from Benefit. I have used a similar pencil from Benefit before, it was Precisely, My Brow and it was a thinner version of this one. I really liked that pencil, it was the best pencil I've ever used but it lasted just a two months I guess. So I decided to buy this Goof Proof pencil which is thicker so I hope it will last longer. But back to this pencil, I'm very happy with it, it makes your eyebrows really look good and it is so easy to use. I use the shade 3 and I think it's perfect for my brows. They have six shades so you can choose your right color. The price is a bit higher but I think it corresponds to quality. There is also a brush on the other side, so it is very handy. And what about the packaging!

Another favorite item is this Facial Oil Elixir from the Czech brand Manufaktura. They have a natural products which is a big plus for me. I did a post about their Daisy facial spa set, so you can read it here. I have a very dry skin so I really love this facial oil because it makes my skin so soft, nourished and smooth. But if you have more oily skin I think it is also good for you, because I heard from people with more oily skin who use this oil and they said it also works for their skin. So don't be afraid just because it is oil. I changed my daily moisturizer for this oil and I'm so glad I did because this is just a miracle.

The next item is for my hair and it is this Miracle Moist Shampoo from Aussie. I used this shampoo before and I was happy with it so I don't really know why I stopped using it. Maybe I had a lot of shampoos so I had to consume them. Aussie has the best shampoos and conditioners for hair in my opinion. It also smells good and it makes my hair soft, healthier and smooth. This one is for hair that's dry, damaged and unhappy which my hair definitely is. 

My cleansing wipes just ran out so I have to buy a new one. I always like to try a new products so I decided to try this Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes from Sephora. It caught my attention because it is with coconut! I've never tried any cleansing wipes with coconut water so I was really excited. I really love it, because it removes your makeup really well and quickly, even your eye makeup which I always had a problem with. It doesn't irritate your eyes and it is also suitable for removing a waterproof makeup. And it smells really good!

Let's get to my nails. I showed you this Soft Matte Nail Polishes from Trend It Up before but I got a new color which I'm totally in love with so I have to show you. I really love matte color on my nails and this baby blue looks really amazing. I'm sorry that I cannot show you this color on my nails but I didn't have any time to do my nails. I really love this nail polishes because they last a very long time, I would say about 1-2 weeks, it depends on the condition of your nails. They are also very pigmanted so you can put on just a one layer. And the price is also amazing, it is very cheap, I would say it's about $2,50.

The last item is this Match Perfection Foundation from Rimmel. I change my favorite foundation True Match for this one. The reason was the price and the quality of course. I was using this foundation before and I have to say it is one of my favorite foundations. It is a bit more dense so it is also suitable for oily skin. I have a dry skin but this foundation is also very moisturizing so when I use some good primer or moisturizer under it, it goes well with my skin. I use shade 100 Ivory and it is a bit light for my skin now because I'm tanned but when the winter comes it's going to be okey. It also has SPF 20 so it's a good protection in the summer.

Hello guys!

A little bit late I'm posting this but I didn't have much time lately. How are you enjoying summer or holiday? The weather is so hot right now that I can't even breathe. What's helping me a lot is ice cold smoothie or iced tea. And also ice cream! I prepared for you my favorite products for July, but maybe you could see some of them before but I don't have many new things right now.

Let's start with this Aloe Vera Sun Lotion by Avivir. I did a post about this brand and about this lotion before (you can check it out here) but I would like to mention it again because I think it's very importat now in summer to have at least some sun lotion. It's 36 degrees Celsius today, so you have to use at least SPF 15. This one is SPF 30 but I use it mostly in Spain when the sun is more intense but if you are pale, you should definitely use 30 or 50. I really like this sun lotion because it contains 70% active aloe vera and it protects, moisturizes and hydrates your skin.

Another favorite item is this Hoola bronzer from Benefit. This is my favorite bronzer I have ever tried. I showed it before but I have to mention it again. I got this bronzer about a year ago, I use it every day and it still almost full! And it is a small, travel version. I really love this bronzer because it's very pigmented and it lasts all day. I also love the color of it, it is not orange and it's not also so dark, so if you have pale or more tanned skin it is perfect for you. It also has brush inside but I don't use it.

The next items are these two products with olive oil from Aphrodite. One is Cleansing gel and the second is Face scrub. First, you will use cleansing gel which cleans your skin from impurity and then use face scrub which exfoliates your skin and removes dead skin and black spots. It is a mini version but you can also buy it in a full version. Olive oil helps irrigate your skin and leaves it nicely soft.

This is not a cosmetic product but I would like to show you it. I really like this iPhone case with glitters inside. I can't tell you where to buy it because I got it from the US but I will try to find a similar one. This cover is very thick so it makes you phone bigger and harder but I really like how it looks anyway. Also don't bring it to the plane because there is the fluid inside so they wouldn't have to let you in.

The next item is Dew the Hoola from Benefit. This is basically a liquid bronzer but you can also use it all over your face as I do. If you're a bit tanned (I am after I came from Spain) you can easily use it instead of your normal foundation. It doesn't have a big coverage so if you have problematic skin it may not be perfect for you. But you can also use your foundation and after that you can use this bronzer on it, so it makes your skin smooth and tanned. I really prefer this liquid bronzer instead of my normal foundation because it's very lightweight and your skin can breathe. It also makes my face more tanned because my body is more tanned than my face. And how to apply it? You can use your fingers, foundation brush or beauty blender.

And last item I have to mention is this Hand cream from Nobilis Tilia. I also showed you this cream in one of my previous posts (you can read it here) but I have to show it again because it is my favorite hand cream now. It is bio cream designed for those who have always dry hands. It softens and hydrates your skin and nourishes it. It also reduces scaling. Your hands are soft all day after this and it also smells nice.
