A Ramble.

   Hello there, lovelies!

   I am here! Yup, I am still alive and well. You guessed it - i'll start with an apology for not updating my blog for over 3 months. It's a long and rambling explanation, so if you have the time, sit back, relax and keep on reading.

   As it's pointed out into my little "About me" section, I am just an 18-year-old teenager. I am a senior in high school and to be honest I've never been more confused and weirded out. Everything moves so fast, everything is so hectic.
   Being in this fast and furious (see what I did there.. hehe)  atmosphere, the past few months I've been overwhelmed with both excitement and fear. All I could think about and stress about was ending school, dealing with grades, exams.... and saying goodbye to my classmates, probably for good. What really got to me, though, was the fact that in less than 1 month I'll be an adult, trying to figure out things that I am not quite ready for. Stressing about whether or not the University I choose is the best choice, or am I making a horrible mistake. Is my future going to be bright and full of accomplishments and success, or failure and dead ends. I am headed to an Artistic School. Everyone is sceptic, and let's just say this is not the most helpful and encouraging feedback. 
   I've been thinking way too much about the future, overall. Thinking about what I want and don't want to happen to me, thinking about the unknown, Thinking about the different ways that everything may turn out. Every thought is just so overwhelming.

   But... here I am. I just realized that life is going to work out just perfectly, if I let it. I can't be fully happy and accomplished if I let fear and stress keep me from doing what I love. So I won't just sit in my room wondering and stressing about the future. I will work on my dreams, workout, meet with friends, but also I am going to be updating my blog regularly again!

   That was it lovelies! I hope you are not too mad about me not posting for months.

   Have a great day!

Review: The One By One Mascara by Maybelline

   Hello there, lovelies!

   How are you doing? How is the festive season going so far? Mines been great! Okay, today I am representing one of my November favourites and that's the One by One Mascara by Maybelline. If you're interested in getting luscious eyelashes, keep on reading!

   I'll start out with the fresh and colourful packaging that just catches the eye. It is playful and it is a great combination of coulours - who knew that turquoise and orangy-red would look so nice together?! To be honest, that was the main reason, why I wanted to buy this mascara. Yes, that's how much control good looking things have over me.

   Now let's talk about the quality of the product. The mascara is in black and it does amazing work when it comes to exaggerating the eyes. The wand is super thick and, although it gives great volume, I would definitely recommend combing through your lashes first with thinner brush. Also, I am still mastering applying it on the downer lashes. I think that if you are a newbie with this mascara, you would want to use other, thinner mascara brush for them.

   Other than that, this mascara is quite amazing. I find it super lasting, and once you've applied it a certain way it stays the same throughout the day. If you have your eyelashes curled before applying the One By One Mascara, it looks even better.

   (Before I say good-bye, I want to just greet all of you with a song that I find quite inspiring and empowering! Feel free to leave your favourite POWER songs in the comment section below. Now here's to a powerful Monday, Week and LIFE! :))

   That was it for today! Make sure that you leave your feedback down below if you've used or you're about to use this amazing mascara! Also be welcome to leave your suggestions for blog posts!

   Have an incredible day!

November Favourites 2014

   Hello there, lovelies!

   Long time no see! Lately I am lacking motivation, inspiration or simply - time! I haven't had enough time to post, but hopefully I will in the spirit of the Holiday Season. Anyways, it is almost DECEMBER, and it's time for last month's favourites.

Beauty

   For beauty I've been experimenting a lot with lip colours. So for the month of November I've been loving the Baby Lips by Maybelline in PINK PUNCH. It has this gorgeous pink tint that is quite girly and delicate. It is really moisturizing and it makes your lips soft as a baby's bum. It is perfect for the cold months. My other lip favourite is quite the opposite - the COLOR DRAMA dark lip pencil, again by Maybelline. The colour is gorgeous and winter-approved. It is also long lasting. One disadvantage - it dries out the lips. That's not a big problem, though if you use a good lip balm underneath.

   Next I've been loving my new One by One Maybelline Mascara. I don't have much to say about it, other than the fact that is perfect. The brush is way too big to use on the downer lashes, but the great quality of the product compensates for that.

   My last beauty-related product is my Lollipop Cosmetics Professional Makeup Palette. It is my all time favourite, but lately I've been trying out many and new make up looks and I feel absolutely obsessed with it. Comment down below if you want to see tutorials. 

Music

   For music, I am no different from anyone else - I love what's HOT right now. And by hot I mean Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez kind of hot. I've been loving The Heart Wants What It Wants and Blank Space. This whole month I've been listening to Maroon 5 new album - V. I am their biggest fan since forever. And lastly - I adore the new song by Years & Years - Desire. I am getting really into their type of music, let me know what are your favourite songs by the trio.

   To get into the chritstmas spirit, I've also been listening to Jimmy Durante's Make Someone Happy - such a cheerful and festive song. I love it! 

Movies

For movies my top 2 favourites of this month are In Secret and One Small Hitch. Both really intresting and thoughtful, I am not going to say anything so that I don't spoil you.

Youtube Channels 

   Okay, this month I re-watched ALL of Pince Ea's videos in YouTube, and let me tell you they are perfection at it's finest. If you need motivation, inspiration or positivity in any kind you should totally check him out!

   I also found a new youtuber - Julia Hunt, you may know her from her blog - Becoming Juliet. She is cheerful, funny and really beautiful. She talks about everything , from fitness to beauty to phylosophy and relationships. She's also an actress so you can only imagine how expressive she is! She is so worth it! 

    So, these were my November Favourites! I really do hope you enjoyed and that this was somewhat helpful to you. Please make sure you leave your comments, suggestions and blogpost ideas down below. Thank you for reading!

   Have an amazing day!

   Much Love

Everyday Fall Make Up - Dark lips!

   Hello there, lovelies! 

   Today I am here with a new, fresh and quite simple make up tutorial! It is perfect for the dark and gloomy days of Fall, because it has a pop of beautiful berry colours! 

    To start off, you are going to need a set of 3 brushes - a flat one, for applying the base colour, a small, semi-blending brush for the transitional colour and a big blending brush, for the darkest colour, and for blending the whole look together. 

   EYES:

   Firstly, you want to start with clean, moisturized and primed lids.
   The first colour you are going to apply is this beautiful light beige colour. If you don't have the exact same colour, you can use any beige or skin coloured shadow. You want to put it on your lid.

   Then, you use a berry colour. It can be as dark or as light as you want. You would want to put this in your crease. We use this as a transitional colour, but also an emphasis colour. It should be the brightest of the trio.

   Lastly, on the outer corner of, both, your crease and lid, we want to put the darkest colour. Again, it can be as light or dark as you prefer. I am using this shimmery greyish lilac colour.You want to blend it really well, and bring it up to your crease. Blend the whole look together.

   LIPS & MASCARA:

   To finish off the look you want to add mascara and colour your lips in a dark berry lip stick. I am using the EYEKO Sports mascara and a Golden Rose lip stick in number 111.

  THE FINISHED PRODUCT:

   Voila! You are left with the perfect Fall Make Up!!!

   I hope you enjoyed! Please make sure to leave your feedback in the comment section below and tell me what posts you would like to see next!

   Have a nice day!

Halloween OOTD

   Hello there lovely creatures!
Ha, I am using "creatures" , just to get into the spirit of Halloween and I am not quite sure if I am doing it right, but let's pretend I am! So here it is - my Halloween costume, not going to mention what it is, you will see for yourself!

   This year me and my friends decided to all dress up and spend an amazing night together - like we always do. However, not everyone ended up dressing up, but I was a proud wearer of the ever - green Minnie Mouse Costume. Take a look at it on my Lookbook page below, and feel free to give it a HYPE!

   And now take a look at some silly and funny snaps of that night. The quality is not perfect, but the positive vibes and the great memories are!

   That was it, ladies and gents! I hope you liked it and I hope you had a terrific halloween! :) 
   Much love!

FOTN: Dramatic (Stage) Make up

   Hello lovelies!   As you may, or may not know to be an artist, or at least some sort of public person, your best friend is vanity... Yes, I know it sound narcissistic, but it's true and also helpful. I do believe that making your face look like a beautiful and festive thing, helps you to boost your confidence. That's why I am showing you my just recently used stage make up! :) 

   EYES:
   For the eye-shadows, I kept it simple - golden one all over the lid, soft brown in the crease, darker in the outer corner and just a little bit of white shimmery eye shadow in the tear-duct. All blended well. A delicate, but quite intense eyeliner, in blackest black. 
   I lined my brows with brow powder and highlighted the brow-bone with the same white eye shadow.
   I have on, dramatic false eyelashes. I got them from a local drugstore, cannot recall the brand.
 

   FACE:
   For the face, I just have my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in Ivory and bronzing powder on my cheekbones to contour my face. 

   LIPS:
   Lips are most minimalistic of all, since the eye make up is dramatic. I have on lipgloss in a nude shade, also by Rimmel. 

   This look is suitable for nighttime, and fancy events, because the eyes are super graphic and chic. This can also be turned into an everyday make up, if you only skip the voluptuous lashes and make the winged liner a little bit tinner.
   That's a wrap, you guys. If you want to see in depth tutorial of  a look similar to this one, click here.
   
    Have a lovely day and don't forget to stay fab!

Top 3 Denim Trends This Fall

   Hello there, ladies!

   Let's pour ourselfs a cup of hot tea or... chocolate and let's jump into this fall's trends! From what I've seen on TV, celebrities and fashion magazines I've come up with the TOP 3 DENIM TRENDS this Fall. Are you ready to be trendy? Here they are....

Everlasting (a.k.a. Black and White)

• The first one is pretty everlasting. Yup, you guessed it - skinny jeans. But not just any skinny jeans - the rocker skinny jeans!And by 'rocker' I mean black leather, zips and rips. Distressed is your best friend. It is something that can look super grungy and edgy. It can also look trendy, stylish and on point. It's up to you and both ways gorgeous. However little disadvantage is the fact that we need our blood to circulate in our feet too.. Oh well, at least them jeans look flyyyyyy!

   Celebrities, and mostly adventurous pop-rock artists rock the black distressed and zipped jeans on the daily. Here's some snaps of Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato literally rocking the rocker jeans.

Get the rocker jeans on www.boohoo.com

• This next trend I am personally attatched to. I don't know if you have predictions, or you will be shocked, but the next fall jean-wise trend is white. Yes, white jeans. For Fall. We are all so used to burgundy, military and black, that we are kinda reserved when it comes to light colours in our beloved Autumn. Well, not this year. This year's cold months are all about white skinny jeans. 

   Ciara is a proud wearer of them white jeans ever since 2009. And who can blame her, since her mocha coloured skin fits perfectly with them. She wears white jeans from the streets, to the stage and finally the red carpet. 

   Another mocha-skinned girl is a fan of snow-white's fashion and that's RiRi. She's been rocking them white jeans just like Ciara, ever since the beggining of her carreer. No wonder why...

New entry

   Next up is the new entry! I personally adore it! So bold!

   The patchwork jeans are the hottest new trend. It first started in 2013, but it is super in this season. It is unusual and interesting. It is quite casual, but in the same time it adds the amazing twist that everyday outfits usually need. I am sure that it is not everybody's cup of tea, but for the adventurous ladies it's a new and fun way to expiriment. 

   As "patchwork" itself suggests, this trend is going to be in for so many and different people. For example models, including Cara Delevingne, actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Hilary Duff, and music artists like Gwen Stefani and Rita Ora.

 That's it you, guys! I hope you liked this "trendy" post. Stay glowing and on point!

   Have a nice day!
