Budget beauty products ...

                                                                                             CLICK TO SEE MORE






We all fell in love easily with gorgeous packages and design of luxurious make up brands such as Chanel, Tom Ford or Guerlain, and we know that we will get (well, in the most cases) what we payed for.
But when it comes about beauty products that are much more affordable it's not easy to pick them and find good quality. So, today I wanted to share some of them that I like and use:
1. NYX blush //  Bourgeois Pig - I bought this product recently and I'm really satisfied,  highly pigmented, a little goes a long way, vivid color but yet wearable.
2. NYX matte lipstick // Shocking pink - I bought it also recently, with the blush and it's gorgeous color, great for every season (especially summer), wore it HERE.
3. Deborah nail polish // 161 - love this color, I wear it almost every day during this cold season (see it HERE on my nails) and it really last long.
4. Golden Rose lipsticks // 120 (red color- wore it HERE) and 57 (pink color- wore it HERE and HERE) - these two lipsticks are probably my all time favorites among this budget products. I'm using them for years and they are perfect!
5. AVON eye liner // true black - also one of the products that I'm using several years, and it's great for my sensitive eyes.
6. Deborah blush brush - I wanted this brush for highlighters and to contour my cheekbones but I'm not satisfied like I am with the one from Bourjois. I will give it one more chance (I got this brush recently), but this is definitely the product that I would not recommend for now.

And that's pretty much it! Tell me, what's your budget beauty favorites? Do you have some products that you like? Share it, can't wait to read! :)

p.s. all these products are cheaper than 10€, most of the prices are around 5-6€!

Favorite make up products ....

                                                                                                 CLICK TO SEE MORE





Lately you have been asking me about my make up, and which products im using on a daily basis, so here they are :

1. Artdeco camouflage cream - 06
2. Artdeco Long-lasting foundation oil free spf 20 - 15
3. Deborah compact powder with mineral oligoelements - 08
4. Bourjouis blush - 34
5. Bourjouis powder brush
6. Artdeco lip brilliance - 25
7. Dior mascara Diorshow Black out - 99


The most difficult thing for me was to find a perfect foundation,  i needed to cover my blemishes and some red spots, but at the same time, i was looking for some light texture. After some "googling"  i found this oil free foundation from Artdeco and i tried it. Im using it now, probably for three years or even more, and im pretty satisfied. At the same time, i started with camouflage concelear, and it turns out as a perfect match for me. With Deborah compact powder, Bourjouis Rose D'or color on my cheeks and nude lips i am ready in three minutes with this every day make up routine. Dior mascara as a cherry on top (the best one in the whole world) and im already waiting for the elevator to come! ;)
What are your favorites?

p.s. thanks to Tašnarija, now i have one gorgeous sequin clutch, can't wait to wear it!Once again, thank you for this lovely gift!

When i was younger, i was totally crazy about perfumes. Brands, news, prices, i knew almost every scent in the store, and which one is new. I was also purchasing them a lot, thanks to my mother who shared this passion with me. She continued with it, and i stopped. Now im buying only one or two per year ...but they are still in my heart ... ;)
Probably the most favorites for me are fruity, citrus and gourmand scents, love to have those yummy mixes on my skin.The most of my perfumes contains sandalwood, amber, and fruity ingredients, and almost every Escada perfume is gorgeous for me ( Magnetism is the third bottle;)) .
How to know which one is perfect for you?
Its really easy, you gotta pay attention to several things :
- choose perfume depending on season ( there is nothing worst than using some winter scent during the summer );
- the second important thing is color of your hair ( brunettes choose deeper, darker fragrances and most blondes and readheads choose the lighter and fresher tones),
- depending upon your personality and preferences ( or how you feel on that day) perfume tone range from deep, dark and mysterious to light, outgoing, airy and romantic,
- before you buy a perfume, test it on your own skin first, wear it a few hours to see how it reacts, to determinate how long it lasts and then make a decision.
To resume - wear fresh/light during summer and a sweet/dark during winter. If you have your signature perfume ( when people recognize you before you enter the room) that's great, but you should also have a few different perfumes to choose from for evening and day looks. Some fragrances are more suitable for some age groups, so be careful.
I'm not a huge fan of celebrity perfumes, but i gotta admit, there are nice scents (the pleasant surprise was
very cheap perfume from Avon Outspoken intense by Fergie). They are like "must have" for Hollywood and people are buying them because of the name not because of the quality and irresistible scent ( there are exceptions) .They are not for me, but if you like it, why not ...

If i had to choose the top three, it would be Chanel "Coco Mademoiselle" ( im planing to buy the third bottle), Dolce&Gabanna "The One" and Escada ( can't decide which one). I also have one secret crush scent from Guerlain, hope it will be mine soon! ;)
Tell me about your favorites, which one are u using currently, im curious! :)
