Dear readers,

I think since the day I started to use makeup, I always had a favourite makeup brand. It changes a lot and it mostly depend on the product. But I recognize I use Smashbox a lot. My best friend presented me a contour kit by Smashbox on my birthday once and I was curious about the brand.



I took advises of makeup artist I know and I collect samples to learn more about the brand and at least, I can't stop buying them.




I swear on the Smashbox photo finish primer oil I used it nearly every day. Just nearly every day, because this product is always sold out! I planned to buy more in reserve. Never using the foundation of Smashbox before, but I read loads of positive comments about it. I actually use the perfect match by L'Oréal, but it don't last all day long. And I need the matte effect.
I will create my makeup look with this foundation soon.

My next growing collection is the always on liquid lipstick. The colours are absolutely pigmented and matte and they definitely beat my MAC matte lipsticks collection. They last a whole day and a whole night, but it's getting really dry on my lips. My trick is to put vaseline on my lips or the photo finish primer oil to make my lips a little bit moist again.



I also tried out the different mascaras and I am convinced of the x-rated mascara. I bought it by advise from a makeup artist. It's a little bit more expensive than the full explosure mascara, but the quality is much better. The full explosure mascara has a mini me, and the mini me is definitely much better than in original size.



I order my products online right from their site, since I recognize there are more benefits and cheaper to get them on their page. You don't even need to be a member to get a lot of discounts on the products. I just wished they are working on the texture and formula of their always on liquid lipstick making the lips less dry.

That would make me sooo happy.

Dear readers

the best part of being a woman is having all those pretty clothes and stuff, makeup, attention and long hair. Okay, nowadays men can have it all as well. But in this case I am pretty conservative. Men shouldn't wear makeup and long hair should match to that type of man.



In some way I either like drawing woman than man. I don't know if it's because of the hair. I test my skills in drawing with fineliner pens lately and drawing hair was the easiest part. I took a picture of myself as a little helper. My hair is really way too long.

I needed to sketch it with pencil first because I'm not that good. Drawing hair is unbelievable relaxing. And I need to sketch more as college starts in a few days. I'm pretty nervous to give up my full time job, but it is a new chapter I have to accept.

Dear readers,

I never thought that much about phone cases before, but since I had the chance to try out the phone cases by ideal of Sweden, I can't resist to try out phone cases. I usually use one standard for my phone, when it's getting used and broken, I change it. And the design of my cases were simple and cheap and so was the quality.

Anyway, as mentioned I had the chance to try out some cases by ideal of Sweden. And I may choose two different styles. I chose one for me and one for my sister.



My sister wanted a girly but classy one. She decided to pick the pilion pink marble case for her iPhone 6S plus. As the iPhone 6S plus is pretty huge, it was a good decision to pick a simple one, with less pattern. The light colour gradient from light rosé and pink with marbled pattern make it looks very noble. The surface of the case is smooth, so the marble effect is just graphic.

I wanted a marbled case as well, but I choose the colours of my phone. The marble pattern is in gold on white background with the same material. The pattern is more edgy and it looks like gold cracked white phone case and I love it. The carrara gold phone case looks luxury and noble and not too girly, which was my intention.




The price is pretty high, but the quality speaks for itself. I saw some cases where the graphic is pixelated and the surface is rough. I like it when I can slide my phone on the table and with the surface of the phone cases by ideal of Sweden the slide effect is available. The material is very stable and they have a lot more cases to choose. The collection always matches to the season.

I can't wait for the new collection. Have a nice weekend!
