Hello my lovelies.
Hope you are all good and happy ;)
As the new month has started I present you my favourites of January. There is just a few beauty products,
which I love and definitely would recommend. MAC lipstick Sin and Faux with MAC Lipliners Half Red and Burgundy are my must-have :)   You really can create some gorgeous looks with them.
I also went crazy with very unique pinky/coral blush shade from Bobbi Brown. It gives me a flattering glow.
Next favourite is Caviar Ink Gel Liner, which I use every single day and I can’t stop;) The eyeshadow Mac Cranberry, Antiqued and Inglot pearl 395 are so beautiful and versatile,
these have been one of my most used eyeshadows over the last few weeks.
I’ve also found a great book about Helena Rubinstein ;)  

What are your favorite products of January?

Kisses,

Mac Faux lipstick, Mac Half Red lip pencil

MAC Faux it’s a mauve pink with a little hint of brown, perfect nude shade. It’s creamy, opaque and has a good staying power.
I always pair this with a Mac Half Red lip pencil and for me it’s just perfect combination.

MAC Half Red It’s a medium-dark, plummy rose shade. One of the best lip pencils I have used. I have to say I use it almost every day it’s My HG. You can wear it with a variety of neutral-to-cool hues, from light mauve to deep maroon. I usually wear it with Mac Faux and Viva Glam II.

MAC Sin lipstick it’s a cool-toned and blue-based,  dark, burgundy red with a matte finish.  It’s very versatile you can go for a vamp glam look or you can also achieve a midtone purple red blotting it on lightly and building it up. Love! ( but make sure well moisture your lips because it can dry the lips out and cause patchiness).

MAC Burgundy lip pencil It’s a matte, opaque, pigmented deep burgundy red colour. It makes a perfect combination with MAC Sin but looks fantastic on its own as well.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush Pink Coral 8

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush Pink Coral 8
The color is a gorgeous pink coral, highly pigmented. It really warms up my skin. That blush has the silkiest, most velvety feel and great pigmentation.

Bobbi Brown Caviar Ink

Bobbi Brown Caviar Ink - I bought this by mistake but I really like this brownish black color. It’s dark enough for dramatic looks and because , it’s not as harsh as black liner makes it great for daytime looks. 

Mac Antiqued, Mac Cranberry,  Inglot 395

Inglot Eyeshadow Refill 395 Pearlit’s a champagne /pale beige shade. I love to use it as a highlighter for my brow bone. It’s super light, smooth and silky.

MAC Cranberry I love this deep plum/purple shade, its really unique and looks gorgeous on my grey eyes. Blends beautiful and has very good pigmentation. Look really good with Club on the outer corners.

MAC Antiqued is a warm coppery rust brown that will looks amazing on blue / green /grey eyes. It is an absolutely gorgeous shade. Blends perfect and it’s very pigmented. Gorgeous for day or night. Love!

Hello my lovelies ;)
I hope you are doing well.
This tutorial is inspired by beautiful Angelina Jolie’s signature makeup. She doesn’t wear a lot of makeup it’s always very natural but at the same time her feline smokey eye stands out. This technique will be perfect for those of you who have round eyes, this makes them appear more almond alike. However I don’t have round eyes and this makeup still emphasise and make them look very elegant and cat like.
Let me know what you think and leave me suggestions below for more celebrity inspired tutorials. ;)

Hello everyone ;)
This is a second part of Christina Aguilera’s makeup tutorial which I was asked to do. This time I’ve created look I’d love to give her. I think she would look stunning with coppery / brown smokey eyes . Instead of her signature red lipstick, I’ve picked pink nude. I think it’s perfect match with the eye makeup.
So let me know what you think about this look.

Kisses
