Hi everyone! Who feels hot these days? Everyone!!! Sun is blazing so hard all day here where I am at, but hey, we wanted the summer to come along with long days and its warmth. So, here we are: the sun, hot days, humidity, but still tons of fun and surge of optimism as we are stepping into the new season and all the things it is bringing us. Also, I am feeling  more optimistic now that I am fully…

Hi everyone! Life has been a bit hectic lately, so I have not been writing much, as you may have noticed. Also, I have not been wearing a lot of make up, so I did not have much update in that area. I have been trying out some new skincare and adding some new products to my routine. However, I wanted to talk today about ELF cosmetics. Elf (or eyes lips face as it stands for) is a well known…

Hi everyone! Every time the Spring comes around I have the biggest urge to clean and reorganize. Since I have washed all the windows, reorganized our kitchen cabinets (patting myself on the back!), cleaned out the closets and all, the time has come to clear out some make up. As much as I try to make sure I use it all, sometimes it happens that some items expire. I don’t like when it happens, but I don’t like eye or…

Hi everyone. I wanted to talk about my favorite skincare brand today. It is a Croatian brand and it is called Skintegra. They have brick and mortar store in Zagreb, as well as the online shop where you can find their products. They have an amazing selection of skincare products and they are cruelty free. They are also very mindful about the environment with their packaging, so there is a huge plus from me as well. Moo likes them as…

Hi everyone. Today I wanted to talk about something a little bit different then makeup. I have fallen in love with making soaps. It all started last February. My sister and I were watching some you tube videos, and it just seemed like such a fascinating and creative world. The videos we have seen just blew our minds, so we wanted to try it ourselves. Right before the lock down, we were able to attend the workshop where we have…

Hi everyone! I am back with a new post about my project pan for 2021. I have looked at my collection and selected what I want to focus on using (or using up) this year. Some of the products are on the older side, so I want to make sure I use them before they go bad. Some of them are products I want out of my collection and some of them are my absolute favorite, as I think it…

Hi everyone! I have mentioned before that I will make a post about the products I have been panning and using up in 2020. I am finally reunited with my make up collection (and my make up garbage too! 🙂 ) Let’s dive in, so I can recycle the things I have used up. By the way, not all of the products that were in the project pan got used up, so I will highlight those products in the end.…

Hi everyone! Since tomorrow is Valentine’s day, I thought I would highlight some of my favorite palettes for the occasion. We are staying in, ordering a pizza from our favorite place (Karijola in Zagreb) as it is became of our tradition to go there on Valentine’s day. Anyway, I have a prefect excuse to dress up and put on some make up for a night in. So, I have a couple of palettes on my mind. Please note that these…

How is it February already?!? Feels like we have just celebrated New Years. People always say January is the longest, most depressing month, but for me it just flew by. I guess time really flies when you are having fun. It was a fun month, but especially fun playing with makeup. Today I wanted to highlight some of my favorite products that I have used in the month of January. I have two foundation type of products that I have…

I think 2020 has been the year that I have really discovered my love for blushes (especially the creamy type of blushes). Today I wanted to shine some light on drugstore/affordable blushes that work great, in my opinion. I get excited about a lot of different makeup, but there is something special about the blushes. You might say that blushes tend to look the same on the skin after a while. Like, if you have five different shades, you kind…
