THREE challenge look #3: FUTURISTIC

Sunday afternoon. Sunny outside. Really warm. And I'm home alone, been doing a makeup look for next challenge, now I'm writing this post. You better like it! :D

Today's theme is FUTURISTIC. Here you find the rules and the list of all participants (they do A-mazing manicures, check them out!): click. 

I intended to do a half robot face look. And I actually did it, but I didn't had time to practice before, and I failed at it, big time :) Here is a little picture:

I removed it with four or even more cotton buds and my next thought was: Katy Perry E.T. look. And again ... I'm not 100 % satisfied with it :D But I'm too lazy to recreate it, and a beautiful day calls me!

Here is the final look:

Products used:

- Bourjois Healthy mix 52

- Bourjois Healthy mix concealer

- E.l.f. setting powder

- Avon ColorTrend Translucent tan for contour

- for eyes and face and eyebrows and lips Sleek i-Divine Au Naturel & NYX palette Smokey Eyes (shimmery silver on lids)

- Essence gel eyeliner 01 Midnight in Paris

- Barry M Bold Black Waterproof eyeliner

- eBay eyelashes

- some random mascara

- white and golden patches Aqua makeup palette (activated with water, I used Kiko mixing solution)

Hope you like it, till next look I still have to figure out which song is my favourite :D

Also, I got a haircut and changed my hair colour (FINALLY!). It's a little bit bob-ish on left side and shaved on right. In real life hair colour looks lighter. You like?

Have a lovely day <3

August favorites + September challenge

Omg, times goes by so fast! It's already the end of August! That means only 4 favourite posts until new year. Can you believe it? :D
So, let's just start with my monthly favourites, shall I :)

It was so unbelievably hot this month that my feet got swollen and it wasn't really a pleasant feeling. I bought Badger foot balm Peppermint & tea tree with my last order from BB Natura and hey! It helped! I applied it before bed time and next morning my feet looked much much better. Badger balms never disappoint me!

I wanted to mention Beauty blender in my last monthly favourites, but I forgot, silly me. I bought it on eBay and it's a dupe to a real beauty sponge, and it works great for me. I've heard that dupes are not as near as good as the original ... I'm wondering how the original works. :)

I like scented candles a lot. My favorites are from drugstore DM, it's their brand called Profissimo. Mango and papaya scent is the best :).

Favorite song: We are never ever getting back together cover by Joey Graceffa and Luke Conard. It's just pure awesomeness! :)

Second favourite song: Kno - La petite mort (Come die with me). I'm still into un-mainstream music :) (and right now I'm listening to Britney Spears :D).

Now to the September challenge, I'm participating in THREE nail challenge by Mateji ustvarjata/Two Matejas creating. Because they are so super cool and kind, they let me do makeup looks, because I'm not really a nail expert :D
Expect 9 new makeup looks from me this month. So super excited about this challenge! :)

Have a lovely day!

Nicki Minaj Super Bass inspired makeup look

I was in a mood for creating something crazy, not really a natural look ... Nicki Minaj was first person that came to my mind, although I'm not really a fan. I didn't even watch a video or look at any hers pictures, I had in mind that she wore yellow eyelid and barbie doll lips.
And I created it with quite cheap makeup: just one palette on eyes, mostly Essence, NYX, E.l.f. ...

Products used:

Eyes:
- Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base
- Oriflame Kohl pencil Nude (as a base to make yellow and pink shadows pop)
- Coastal Scents 88 Color Eye Shadow Palette (bright and shimmery yellow on lids, orange-y brownish shadow in crease, lower lash line purple-pink)
- Essence gel eyeliner  01 Midnight in Paris
- E-bay false lashes (nothing useful written on the box)
- Artdeco all in one mascara (just on upper lashes)

Eyebrows:
- Coastal Scents 88 Color Eye Shadow Palette (light brown)

Face:
. Bourjois BIO detox 52 Vanille
- Bourjois Healthy mix concealer 52 medium radiance
- NYX Mosaic Powder 01 highlighter (on cheek bones, down the nose, underneath eyebrows, above lips)
- E.l.f. blush Pink Passion

Lips:
- Revlon matte 002 Pink Pout
- Barry M 52 (bright pink)

I wasn't intending to write a blog post about this look, but when I finished and took pictures, I asked myself why not!? I was quite happy with the outcome.
I finally started writing a "note book" for my blog, where I take notes and ideas for future blog posts. I have like one million other makeup looks I want to recreate, and Nicki wasn't one of them :D.

If you want to see and how I recreate any particular look, leave a comment :)

So, what do you say? Nicki or not?
