By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 7:00 PM

Welcome, beauty enthusiasts! In the vast and ever-evolving world of makeup, finding the perfect products for your everyday look can be both exciting and overwhelming. Fear not, as we embark on a journey to discover the must-have makeup essentials that will elevate your beauty routine and leave you looking flawless every day.

1. Primer: The Canvas of Perfection
Start your makeup routine right with a high-quality primer. My personal favorite is the Charlotte Tilbury Invisible UV Flawless Primer, which not only helps your makeup adhere better but also smoothens out your skin, creating a perfect canvas for the rest of your products.

2. Foundation: Your Second Skin
Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone seamlessly. Personally, I swear by these ones MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin™, Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation, as they provides the perfect coverage and a natural finish for a second-skin effect.

3. Concealer: Brighten and Conceal
Say goodbye to under-eye circles and blemishes with a reliable concealer. I love DIOR Forever Skin Correct Concealer its impeccable coverage and brightening properties, giving my face a radiant and awake appearance.

4. Blush and Bronzer: Add a Healthy Glow
Bring life to your complexion with a touch of blush on the apples of your cheeks and a hint of bronzer to warm up your face. My go-to duo is Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder, MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Pop Plumping Blush, and SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Blush a natural, healthy glow that enhances my features.

5. Eyeshadow Palette: Versatility at Your Fingertips
Invest in a versatile eyeshadow palette with a mix of neutral and statement shades. Personally, I adore the PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette for its versatility, allowing me to create various eye looks, from subtle day looks to sultry evening glam.

6. Eyeliner and Mascara: Frame Those Eyes
Define your eyes with a precise eyeliner and add drama with a volumizing mascara. I can't live without Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner and Sephora Collection Big By Definition Defining and Volumizing Mascara they work together seamlessly to frame my eyes and make them pop.

7. Brows: Shape and Define
Sculpted brows can transform your entire look. I swear by Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer shape and define my eyebrows, framing my face with precision.

8. Lipliner and Lipgloss: Perfect Your Pout
For luscious lips, don't forget your lipliner and lipgloss. My go-to combo includes Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Duo Lip Kit and Fenty Beauty Glossy Posse Volume 6.0 Full-Size Gloss Bomb Trio to add a touch of shine, completing the look with perfection. I sometimes change my other favorite lipgloss from Sephora Collection Outrageous Plumping Lip Gloss.
9. Highlight: Illuminate Your Features
Highlighting adds dimension and radiance to your face. I reach for [Your Favorite Highlighter] to illuminate my cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of my nose, enhancing my features.

10. Setting Powder & Setting Spray: Lock in the Flawlessness
To keep your makeup in place, set it with a high-quality setting powder. My favorite is HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder ensuring that your makeup stays flawless throughout the day.
Last but not least my favorite setting spray is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Makeup Setting Spray enhancing the longevity of my makeup and providing a refreshing finish.

There you have it – a curated list of must-have makeup products, including some of my personal favorites, to achieve a flawless everyday look.

How To Get Your Glowiest Skin Ever!

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 4:26 PM

Good base starts with great basics. And what better basic to have than dewy skin, right? You can ask any beauty blogger and they'll agree. A luminous, glowing face is a must-have.

Here I am recommending to you the best makeup line ever: Maybelline. I really love a glowing makeup look, it's simple, you have dewy skin in 10 minutes. These products from Maybelline are not heavy at all, and look absolutely stunning! If you want to get glowy, luminous skin, read on to learn more about my favorite products with a luminous finish.

As we already know glowing skin is always in, especially if we see celebrities, their makeup is always perfect and on point. Thankfully Maybelline has a whole range of skin refreshing, luminous foundation and concealer that can help you achieve that glowing looking skin.

Dream Cushion is a lightweight, medium to full coverage foundation with a natural finish. It comes in a cushion compact which makes it travel friendly and perfect for girls on the go. It gives you a complete luminous coverage for all skin types, and it is available in a collection of fresh variety shades.

The beauty guru Mario Dedivanovic, who is Kim Kardashian's go-to makeup artist said his golden beauty hack is: "I like to apply a tiny bit of highlight on the corner of my client's forehead. That way, when they move their head on the red carpet it looks like their skin is really glowing." And not only should we apply a teeny bit of highlighter on our forehead if we want to look glowy, but Mario also recommends applying a small amount to the corner of your chin, instead of the center.

This means that when you tilt your head your highlight will catch the light and look like a natural glow, as opposed to applying it on the center of your chin.

I think we just hit a level up on our highlighter game!

Master Strobe Stick for the ultimate glow, use the strobing stick to highlight the high points of your face and blend. The strobing stick comes in two different shades, it's effortless and gives you a nice dewy looking skin in an instant. Strobe away! Good base starts with great basics. And what better basic to have than dewy skin, right? You can ask any beauty blogger and they'll agree. A luminous, glowing face is a must-have.

Baby Lips are the perfect balm to moisturize your lips and protect them from chapping. Baby Lips balms also work great as a primer. Everyone is going coral these days and when you’re getting a coral tint along with a lip balm, how can you resist? This lip balm moisturizes your lips for 4-5 hours. Isn’t that awesome? The formula is not sticky and the lip balm has SPF 16. The cute packaging is like icing on the cake.

Here in this picture you can see what I was talking about!

What are your favourite products to use for a healthy glowing skin?

How To Get Ready Quickly

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 6:36 PM

If you're like me, morning rituals may consist of only a couple of minutes to try and look the best as possible. With time, I've mastered the techniques of getting ready as quickly as possible, because thanks to college days I had to do so. When it comes to a quickly morning routine it's not only about what products I use to trim the time but how I plan ahead in case I oversleep, and let's be honest that happens to all of us, well at least to me, having long study nights...

STICK TO THE USUAL

The worst thing you could do is to try a new look that you never wear or products that you've never used before, trust me, that happen to me like a hundred of times, but NOW I know the drill. I always play safe and wear as little makeup as I can. I only use the products that I know for sure will make me look good in the areas I need it. To me, these products are a good concealer, a bit of blush, mascara, and lipstick.

THE EVERY-DAY JEANS & TOP

As much as I would love to be like those awesome bloggers, mornings don't aspire me to be one, honestly. I am not a morning person and when it comes to clothes, I'm still a mess. Luckily, most of my pieces that I wear for college are monochromatic, plain, and matching, all I have to do is grab my favorite Black Zara Jeans and any top that I reach out to first, white or gray, my favorite colors.

BREAKFAST FIRST

Makeup routine, this is where most of our time goes in the morning, even if I only wear like two or three products. I've been really committed to not leave the house without having breakfast and it actually makes the whole day better for me. It makes such a big difference, and you are more awake, your day starts great when you don't have an empty tummy. I'll never prepare something the night before because I never manage to do that, instead, I go for quick and easy things that I can eat while doing my makeup, like a smoothie. I only pour some Almond & Coconut milk, with one banana, and I also add a bit of muesli, it's so yummy. You should definitely try this recipe, it's simple and quickly recipe in the morning.

OTHER TIPS

Hm, what about a shower? I always take a shower the night before and wash my hair very often. If I *really* don't have time for that, I'll just wash my body and use dry shampoo. In case you have to look extra fancy, which happens to me many times, I have to attend presentations in college. I always wear any kind of high heels and a bold lipstick. The two will instantly make a statement to let you keep the rest of your outfit/makeup simple without being worried and late.

What are your tips for getting ready in minutes?

Nikoleta Lj, xoxo.

Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Modern Renaissance Palette' Review

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 2:13 PM

A week ago my sister came from her holidays, she was in New York, USA and as my other sisters live there as well, they surprised me with this beautiful palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE.

This winter I was searching to find a new eyeshadow palette, I watched like a hundred Youtube videos to get some recommendations. The number one most raved about palette was definitely the Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Modern Renaissance Palette. I have lots of thoughts about this palette, so I hope that you can find my opinions helpful if you are considering this eyeshadow palette. That's why I wanted to write a review about this gorgeous palette and give you my first impressions.

I have now been trying out the ‘Modern Renaissance’ palette for a week now, and even in that short amount of time, I can honestly say that I am obsessed. It has the most beautiful varieties of warm shades. I love how there are a ton of everyday neutrals, but there are also a handful of fun colors that are still incredibly wearable and on trend. I also find that this eyeshadow palette looks beautiful on all eye colors and all skin tones. The Modern Renaissance palette has definitely re-sparked my love for makeup, and it’s really encouraged me to be a little mroe creative. I can’t imagine myself getting bored of this palette, and I am constantly discovering new color combinations. It has shades like 'Tempera' and 'Golden Ochre' that are perfect for a daily basis. However, with shades like 'Venetian Red' and 'Love Letter', you can totally make some really unique, glam looks for a night out. Soon I'll be doing a Makeup Look with this palette and I'll film a tutorial for my Youtube channel.

This is definitely a palette I would repurchase in the future. I purchased their Contour Cream Kit in the shade Light, and I've been using it to do my contour and highlight. So far I must say I am very satisfied with it and it was worth the price I bought. The shadows are very pigmented, smooth, and easy to apply and blend. This was my first time trying any Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadows, but I have to admit I am a huge fan now. An additional thing I really like about this ABH palette is the brush that comes in the palette. Most of the time, every brush that comes in a palette, they tend to be cheap and unusable.

However, I actually really love the brush that comes with the palette, and I’ve been using it every single time. Though I absolutely love this palette, there are a few cons for me. One con is definitely the price. Another con is the packaging, though the palette packaging is a beautiful pale pink, it does get incredibly dirty due to the material on the front of the palette.

All in all, I love this palette! This is a palette I would 100% recommend, especially if you are looking for a unique palette that has a variety of versatile nudes and wearable pops of color. It’s by far my favorite makeup palette that I own.

If you’ve tried the Modern Renaissance palette, let me know what you thought about it? Also, let me know your favorite eyeshadow palettes at the moment?

Nikoleta Lj, xoxo.

Christmas Gift Guide

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 3:43 PM

Hi my loves,

Panic mode is on now, I literally can't believe that Christmas is coming. Time just flies by so fast. This year I seem to have brushed Christmas shopping aside, thinking I've got time, but actually I do not have. I have to hurry up and get started to buy presents to my beloved ones. I hope you guys already finished with it, or maybe there are also few of you that are in the same situation like me.

I assume 90% of you who've clicked on this post are in need of some Christmas inspiration, so I've created a little gift guide for those beauty admirers you have in your life.

Skincare Sets

Skincare sets aren't for every beauty admirer, but if you know someone who really cherishes taking care of their skin then why not? Brands such as Kiehls, Clinique, LUSH, Origins, all do amazing gift sets that save you so much money. I think little beauty would make a lot of girls very happy, so these sites you can find anything that will be perfect for your mums, sisters etc.

Makeup

If you know someone who is looking to start out with makeup or who just wants to add to their collection, then here are a couple my favorite brands. For me these makeup brands you should look into, which have great sets such as Benefit, NARS, Makeup Revolution and Too Faced.

Haircare

When it comes to my haircare, I pretty much love to receive gifts because I try different things, and in that way I can see what best fits for my hair. Haircare brands to check out with amazing deals on are Bumble&Bumble, Tigi and Moroccan Oil. If you have someone who has struggle with hair, you should definitely check out Moroccan Oil, I personally am obsessed with their products, and made such a big difference for my hair.

Bodycare

Brands such as Soap&Glory, LUSH, Nivea, and Dove always stock some amazing Christmas gift sets for pampering your body and are so affordable and easy gifts for people. But if you are wanting something more luxurious Laura Mercier do some amazing gift sets for pampering that are absolutely amazing.

Fragrance

Something that is a bit more affordable to look at buying is the Soap&Glory Body Mists, Zara Perfume or even Victoria's Secret. If you are looking at perfume gift sets Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Burberry all do some great sets that are not pricey either.
