I hope that it doesn't make difference to any one, also you can follow me by clicking the "Join this site" button in the right sidebar.

"Karl" by Karl Lagerfeld - The New Mix ft. Anja Rubik

"The New Mix" is a promotional video for the new, more affordable line by Karl Lagerfeld called "Karl". I absolutely love the sparkly jacket that Anja wears. The range is available from NET-A-PORTER and they ship internationally.

My go-to make up products.




Below is a list of my go-to make up products that I use pretty much everyday. This are just my make up staples.

Foundation

Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation in NC15, this foundation never fails me, its just the perfect foundation for me.



BB Cream/Tinted Moisturizer

On some days I just don't feel like wearing heavy foundation and I just want to wear something thats light but will give me some coverage. No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream and Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser are perfect for giving me a good amount of coverage without being heavy. Also they are really easy and quick to apply


Concealer

Collection 2000 16 Hour Wear Concealer(you can't see then name of it because everything rubbed off) is my favourite under eye concealer even that its meant to be used for spots, but it work perfect as an under eye concealer for my.



Kiko Full Coverage concealer, great creamy, easy to apply and long lasting spot concealer. Perfect.



Finishing Powder

ELF Complexion Perfection powder, this powder doesn't have any complexion perfection properties, but its great for setting foundation and keeping it matt for a very long time.


Blush

NARS Deep Throat is my favourite blush of all times. Its just a great pick-me-up blush for me. No7 in 25 Petal is also a really nice everyday blush. Both of them have a very nice texture and they are really easy to apply. Another product I love to use as blush is Mac Wonder Woman MSF in Pink Power, however it was a limited edition so its very unlikely you will be able to find it.

Bronzer 

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universal its just flawless. Want to know why I love it, click here.



Eyebrows

I use ELF Eyebrow Kit pretty much everyday since I got it, I don't like the wax which is on the left, but the eyeshadow on the right its just perfect.



Another product that I use to fill in my eyebrows is the MUA Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette, I usually use it when I'm in a hurry or I want to touch up my make up thorough out the day.





PLEASE NOTE: I don't own two of each product, I took two photos and then used Photoshop to put them together.

Another haul and few bargains.

I didn't mean to go shopping today, but I had to go to Westfield in Stratford to get a birthday gift for my cousin, so I decided to had a look around the shops and see if I will like anything.

First I went into Zara and let me just tell you, Zara has the best sales ever, about 85% of the stock was on sale, AMAZING, I know. However I only picked up a t-shirt, I love Zara t-shirts, they are really good quality. The one I picked up is dark blue colour light jersey and it very sheer, you can see skin though it. LOVE IT. On and it has a very deep crew/v neck. Original price was £17.99 but I paid £4.99.



Then I went into Topman, I wanted to get a dark denim shirt, but I didn't found anything that grabbed my attention. However I ended up getting two necklaces and a ring. First necklace is definitely a statement necklace. I was looking for something like this for a while now. Best thing about it is the price, originally it was £30 but it was a £1! in sale. Thats what I call a bargain.



Yeah, I know its crazy and I love it. I also got another necklace which is more of a every day necklace, at least for me. It also was a £1.



Here are some photos where you can see the necklaces on me. The picture quality is not so great because I took them with my I-Sight on my MacBook.






Last thing I got from Topman is this ring. Again it was a £1.



I also went into Primark as I was looking for some decor stuff for my room, but I didn't find anything that I liked. I just got this brown braided belt. It will look perfect with black skinny jeans and sheer blue shirt. £3.



I went into Mac, which wasn't a good idea because I knew that there is no chance that I will walk out of Mac store empty handed. Actually I wanted to get the Mac Full Coverage cream foundation, but its available only from the Pro Store in Soho. Instead I decided to get my favourite foundation of all times; Mac Studio Fix Fluid. I got it in NC15 which is a perfect match for me. The make up artist that was serving me asked me twice if I wanted to get the pump for it, but I was like "no I have one at home", but as soon as I got home it turned out that its just disappeared and I don't have it. Oh and if you are not familiar with Mac and you thinking why I'm talking about a pump, basically Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation doesn't come with a pump and you have to buy one.



Zara t-shirt - £4.99

Topman skull necklace - £1

Topman gold necklace - £1

Topman ring - £1

Primark  brown braided belt - £3

Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation in NC15 - £19.50

Favourite iPhone apps

Below is my list of must have iPhone apps:


 Facebook, I don't think I even have to explain why.


Tweetdeck, amazing app for Twitter and Facebook



H&M app, this is an amazing app, because it always notifies you about the latest in-store and online offers, but also because when you shake the app most of the time you will get some money off voucher, like 50% off jackets of £10 knitwear. You get the idea, right?


Instagram just lets you add the most beautiful effects to any photos and share with the world.



Photoshop Express, amazing for on-the-go photo editing.




Last but not least, iPod and Mail. If Apple would ever decided to delete all apps and leave just those two, I wouldn't mind. I still be able to keep in touch with others and stay entrained for hours.

Chanel Bronze Universel for almost a tripple of the price? No thank you!

I just had a quick search to see if the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel is available in UK, but its sold out everywhere. However I also had a look on eBay and people are selling Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel for about £60-£80 which is more than a double of the original price which is £29!!! This is just ridiculous.





Tip: If you really want to buy the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel and have friends, family or anyone who you know in UK or even abroad ask them to buy it for you and have them to send it to you, it still will work out much cheaper. Also I just checked and Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel is avalible on the French Sephora website, you can order it and have it shipped to UK for about €15 and the bronzer is €37.50, all together is about £43 which works out so much cheaper than getting it from eBay, plus you know that the product is 100% genuine. Available from here (the website is in french, but you can use google translate to translate it to any language you want)

Goodbye tried skin - Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation

Rimmel Wake Me Up is the latest addition to the Rimmel foundation range. It will be officially available in UK from the 25th January, however you get it now from the Boots.com website.





This foundation sounds like (yet another) miracle product:

-Helps skin restore and revive
-It has a very light texture, evens out the skin tone and its none pore blocking
-Easy and pleasant to wear
-Contains light reflecting particles and peptides
-Zinc, magnesium and potassium contributes to functioning of skin cells
-Contains vitamins such as: A,C,E
-Also its packed with antioxidants and contains hyaluronic acid which deeply moisturisers the skin
-Skin is left feeling fresh with a non cakey very natural finish and stays flawless for up to 10 hours

Yes, this definitely sounds like a miracle in a bottle. Am I the only person who thinks this is a cheaper version of the famous Chanel Vitalumiere? It seams to have similar properties. I will definitely try this foundation as soon as it available and let you all know that I think about it.
