Hey, lovely people

Since I'm going crazy with sudying I decided to do a quick post to get my mind of all the useless crapissimo I'm trying to memorize.

This is a brush holder used to hold the brushes with the bristles facing down. That way the water doesn't get to the glue inside the ferrul. It is designed to catch droplettes of water, should there be any - but, in all honesty, you really shouldn't be soaking the heck out of your brushes :D

I actually like the way it looks. Have two of these puppies.
Available at craft stores as they are meant for art brushes.


One thing you need to put into consideration is that you can't use face brushes unless you are ok with them stretching the spiral. In my case, I have two holders, so I am not really bothered by that. But what is bad is that you can't put very big handle brushes in, especially not wooden handle with glazing. The glazing on my Kryolan countour brush cracked due to the pressure of new tight spiral.

It is also possible for it to scratch your brushes, but I have had no such issues.


I miss reading all of your blogs quite a bit. I do check my dashboard sporadically when studying gets overwhelming. Can't wait for it to all be over and I can return back to my normal blogging.

Pink; Fucking Perfect

 I was just introduced to this song earlier this morning and I felt a lot of beauty bloggers could relate to this.
I underlined the lines I felt were applicable. No copyright infridgment intended!


Since I have just devoted my feb to school and I won't be making any new posts, I wanted to leave you all with this video. See you all back in March. I shall miss you :)





Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around


Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me!


You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred...such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same


Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing




You're f*ckin' perfect to me


The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?


Why do I do that..?


Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me...




 <3,
V.

Glitterazzi

Happy friday, everyone :)


What I have here could easily be a clubbing look. What I did was layer black pencil and blended it out with 
BArry M Dazzle Dust in Cherry. I applied a matte black eyeshadow to inner and outer corners.

 

And then I went in with Barry M Glitter Dust in purple. Just on the center of the lid. Here is a picture of the beauty. It's a pinkish purple finely milled base with added silver glitter.

I applied it in a triangular shape. Now, for my skin the pencil base was enough for the glitter to stick to and it did not crease. If you want a thicker layer of glitter you'll need to use a different base.

And probably a tape clean-up will be in order if you get glitter all over your face.

 So, a recap of the product used:

• black liner
• black matte eyeshadow
• Barry M Dazzle Dust in Red Cherry
• Barry M Glitter Dust (the purple one)

The main trick is to blend out the crease using colored eyeshadow.
Hope you find this information useful. I'm trying to change the concept of this blog so that I don't just spam you all with pictures and no real content all the time :)

No make-up Make-up?

Hey dolls :) 

I was thinking how ridiculous it is for some people to think they look disgusting without make-up or without a sh** load of make-up. ''Disgusting'' is such a strong word especially in refrence to your own face. So I made this post with using very little products and on a bad skin day even.

I'm breaking it down to lips, face, eyes. Min. fuss, min products.

The key in making your face look effortless is  keeping the base light and not putting too much color  on the lips, eyes and cheeks. Think balance!

LIPS: lipbalm and a smile! All you need.

 I used Dr.Bronners lip balm (mint flavoured)

FACE: moisturizer, a layer of Lily Lolo foundation and a layer of Lily Lolo Translucent Silk.
on cheeks: Lily Lolo translucent silk mixed with EDM blusher New Mom.

If my skin wasn't so bad I would first put on the translucent silk and only then foundation to get even less coverage and less of a cakey face.

EYES: smudged out brown liner (NXY lipliner) and curled lashes. no mascara - I really hate mascara

That is it. Simplicity ftw.

My cat Lumpi (picture heavy)

(EDIT: my baby boy had to be put down due to illness in

summer 2011 :(  RIP, honey)

Hey, dolls.  

Any animal lovers around? Well, this post is just to show off my gorgeous cat,

Lumpi (pronounced Loompy). He's a deep black brown kitty with gorgeous green and blue eyes.

We got him from an eldery couple who had quite a few cats but could no longer care for them all anymore. And let me tell ya, Lumpi LOVES individual attention given to him. He also a big fan of my bed.

We're guessing he is probably around 6 years old. like all cats, his quirky behaviour is considered adorable :P

During my holidays I was blogging about how Lumpi invented a new way of using an invisible hammock to lounge around :D

ass on the shelf, head on the sofa :D

He's a nutcase, but I <3 him!

color wheel candy

Hey, dolls.

Remember my new earings? Here is a look that could probably be worn with them.

You'll need Barry M Dazzle Dusts in Cherry and Orange. They also do a yellow one, but I used an isadora shadow over a yellow base.


A picture taken at a different angle than usual.

here you can see how hooded eyes looks like :)

The application is nothing special, I prolly should've bleneded the pink out better. Oh well.

Hope everybody enjoys their weekend.

earings Haul

I saw these in the store and went O_o CANDYYYYYYY

Naturally, I had to buy them! And they were only €1. The store is also having a massive sale with most hair accessories priced at 50 cents, and earings for 1 euro.

It's called Assessorize and it's in Maribor, if you walk up the aley from the Main Square. No, sicer vam bi lahko kar v slovenščini povedala :D hehe

They are cute and most people will probably cringe at the thought of me wearing them lol but I couldn't care less. They even inspired a make-up look;)

Happy Ney Year prep everyone.

Crazy Lashes attack

Hello, darlings

If you joined my facebook fan page Gone2RehabBRB you might recongize this picture. And if you haven't, please do <3. hehe

The make-up is just your typical yellow and purple cut crease. But, I wanted to show you these lashes that I bought from Claire's. Beautiful but huge, perfect for drag makeup or any drama-esque occassion you may have!



here is a picture without the lashes, just the eyeshadow work.


on my lips: Manhattan LIPS2LAST COLOR, number 280. Use a stain and topped with the gloss that comes with this liquid lipstick.
eyes: this look can be replicated with Sleek Acid palette
eye liner on the waterline: Essence LE

Now for the lashes :) fristly, it needs to be said they are too big for my extra small eyes, however, there are some bambi-eyed gals who could pull these off with zero fuss.

-

Very extreme, right? Not particulary flattering but that was hardly the point. I need to trim them a bit if I am to use them :D
Surprisingly enough they didn't feel heavy. They make my real lashes look like a friggin joke. There was no way I could blend the falsies in with my real lashes.

On close-ups they do photograph beautifully :D so yay for that.

 

If you have any tips on how to take some drama away from these beauties I would love to hear it.

Regards,

V.

Alverde LE gel liner

Hey, darlings.

This is going to be a bilingual post, as this brand is avaiable in Europe and I feel Slovene readers can benefit from a review.

Mine of Gold -- the very last Christmas look

Hey, lovlies. 

I take it you've had a nice day off today and it wasn't to stressful.To those that celebrate, once again Merry Christmas on my behalf.

What i have here is a regular gold look. I used an orangey gold, a medium grey to blend it out and black to deepen the outer corner.

The gold color is Barry M Dazzle Dust number 41. 
You can find the swatches for it here .

The shadow was applied dry, over a creamy concealer by Alverde. There is not eyeliner, highligther or anything like that

 

You guys won't believe me, but I have some non-eye MU posts coming up. Shocking, I know. :) 

I've decided today is going to be my day off, studying and obligations
