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…

Oh boy, this is going to be a long one 🙂   Starting the New Year, we tend to set some goals and resolutions for ourselves for the upcoming months. It feels only natural while starting a new cycle, as we feel inspired to make New Year better than the previous one and make ourselves bloom in every imaginable way. In case some of you might be thinking of transitioning to cruelty free products, I wanted to share my advice…

I have been playing with my makeup today (groundbreaking news, I know) and I have looked at my makeup inventory.  My shopping habits have not been the healthiest in the previous year (blame it on the pandemic if you will), so I have accumulated a number of items, which made my makeup collection a bit bigger than previous years. Ok, a lot bigger. I was actually quite happy with my existing makeup collection in 2019 and made most of my…

Today I wanted to tackle a topic of how I got into makeup and how I went cruelty free with my makeup collection. Generally, I have always been drawn to makeup and what make up can do for your facial features. I am pretty sure that my mom bought me my first mascara and an eyeliner one summer (back in the 90s), when I was about to start either 7th or 8th grade of elementary school (middle school in US…

My name is Iva and welcome to my blog world. Ok, who starts a blog in 2021?! Isn’t that so 2005? Oh, well, I am a late bloomer and frankly you tube is too big of a pill for me to swallow right now. #iamachicken #maybesomeday #personalgrowthontheway Year 2020 has been a mixture of weird and challenging times, (oh, what an understatement!), so I wanted to make a place where I can write about the things that make me happy.…
