Valentine's Day Challenge | Romantic Lace

I got a FB msg from a lovely Theodora from Theodorable beauty blog if I want to participate in a nailart and makeup challenge she came up with Kaki from Obsessed with glitter for Valentine's day. Few days before that I was just thinking of what kind of makeup challenge I should come up with next, so this challenge popped at the right place in a right time :) Rules are simple: every two or three days there is a theme and you can do makeup or nailart or both! If you know me, I am doing makeup :) So, let this Valentine's day challenge begin ...

I tried to imitate lace underneath my right eye, which I had really hard time drawing so it came out looking like not-lace-at-all, but let's just say I'm warming up for the challenge ;) And ignore my messy hair, I obviously didn't brush them that day ;)

5 favourite lipsticks

Today I'll show you my top 5 favourite lipsticks. It was hard to pick just 5 when you have more than 40 lippies, but there are some shades I pick more than others.
And sorry for the shitty application ;)

MUA lipstick Shade 11 is my number one pick for everyday makeup. Since it looks like my lip colour (but better ;)), I don't have to be super neat when I'm applying it. Sometimes I even use it as a lip balm, without a mirror :D. Love the creamy texture and staying power is quite long for such a cheap price.

I like orange lipsticks and Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti made me fall in love with them. You may have heard a lot about lip butters, they're really moisturizing and glide on like butter. The only down side is that product can melt easily on high heat and become messy (that's what happened with mine). This shade is buildable.

I love Ingrid 292* shade so much, it's my second pick if I don't pick the MUA shade ;). I love the texture and it stays on my lips for hours and hours without touching up. It even stains my lips a little.

I cannot finish this post without a red shade. My all time favourite is Revlon matte Really Red. The most beautiful matte red with blue undertones, glides on like butter and stays on for quite sometime. you just need to have smooth and moisturized lips, otherwise it won't look as beautiful.

Another Revlon lipstick (it's not on purpose, I just seem to like their lipsticks :)) is their Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Smitten. This one really stays on my lips over 10 hours, because it stains my lips, I just reapply it during the day for moisture. Colour is buildable.

Tell me, what are your favourite lipsticks?

Get ready with me | Everyday makeup

I filmed myself on Saturday. I'm a YouTube star again! :D
Whenever I'm clueless what to do with my makeup, I go for winged liner. I just change lipsticks and blushes/bronzers and highlighters, but wing is basically the same. I love using Catrice gel liner for this, I've almost used it up already. I doesn't smudge, I don' have to go over with matte black shadow, it dries matte.

Here's the video:

I already broken down all the products in the video, but I am writing them down for you here as well:

Eyes:
- Artdeco eye primer

Tim Burton series (collaboration with Petite Sal) | Romantic goth

My little self and even more little Petite Sal decided to do a collaboration makeup series, Tim Burton inspired. We came up with 4 themes, expect one every Friday for the rest of the month. Today we start with just inspired by Tim Burton in general - romantic goth. His characters are kinda scary, goth looking, big eyed, pale skinned, but they are also (hopeless) romantics, lovable and harmless. I'm a big Tim Burton fan, not just because you can see Johnny Depp in most of his movies! ;)

Anyways, now to the look. I kept it matte, I haven't seen a goth with shimmer and dewy finish yet, but you never know ^^. I would call this semi-wearable, still toned down, but eyes are dolled up and I messed up my hair, Edward Scissorhands style (one of my favourite movies ;)).

Make sure you check out Petite Sal's blog for the look and stay for a while, her blog is awesome!
