A Little Bit of Everything

Hey, everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend! Just wanted to make a quick post on some things that I've been loving lately :)

FOTD/HOTD: This is the makeup look that I've been wearing a lot! It is super easy and fast! I hope you like it. 

Almost forgot to tell you about my hair do: I usually don't like braids, but I got some compliments on this hair style and it's so easy and fast as well. I actually am into braids now!

This is what I used:

FACE - pro longwear foundation, studio finish concealer, msf natural, "tenderling" blush (all MAC)

EYES - brow wax by MAC, "bamboom" paint by MAC, shiseido cream shadow in "lemon sugar", "fascinating" eye kohl by MAC, white shadow by bourjois, loreal liquid liner, kiss lashes №026

LIPS - MAC lip gelee (don't know the name, sorry!)

HAUL: I wanted to share with some beauty things that I got and really like

MAC mineralize all-over lotion - love it! use it all the time! this is my third tube!
MAC eyeshadow in "crystal" - pretty light silvery purple
OPI exfoliating cuticle treatment - keeps your cuticles neat and healthy

Duo lash adhesive - it's the best
And I love my new mirror from Stockmann :)

I also wanted to show you my beloved MAC palette. I've been using it a lot lately, I feel like I have to give it a break and use other shadows that I own. It's really cool, because it has colors literally from MAC stores all over Europe, they were like little souvenirs to me :) some of the shadows I depotted myself, some are limited edition. It's not full yet, but I like that I still have some free spots in it. I only have one large palette, because most of my MAC shadows are in a pot form. 

Top row (left to right) - star violet, sushi flower, jest, paradisco, coquette

Middle row - graphology, green-smoke, stately black, electra

Bottom row - crystal, sumptuous olive, too dolly, white frost

RECIPE: I enjoy cooking Chinese lately! Check out these shrimp pot stickers http://www.marthastewart.com/334077/shrimp-pot-stickers-with-sriracha-ginger

I actually made wontons myself too :)

Until the next time, everyone!

Important Day

Hey, guys! I have some exciting news to share with you! So recently I've been asked to be a makeup artist on one of the photoshoots. As I already told you, I'm really into freelancing as a makeup artist, so thanks to my blog, one photographer got interested in my work. Inspite of being very busy lately, especially with teaching, I found time to do my first makeup job :) This was the Julianne Moore look we were going for (the model also has red hair):

Me wearing kinda the same makeup :) My eyeshadows - White Frost, Knight Divine and Print by MAC

What I wore that day (on my eyes - Satin Taupe and Club by MAC):

Shirt - H&M
Pants - Zara
Blazer - Zara
Shoes - Guess
Jewelry - my regular jewelry

My nails - Parlez-vous OPI? by OPI:

The fun part - what I took with me in my train case. Many of you actually requested to post some pictures of my makeup case filled up, so here it is. It's the makeup that was necessary for the particular photoshoot, so there was no need to bring everything with me. 

Hope you enjoyed! If you would like me to make a list of makeup kit essentials, I would totally do it! Take care, everyone!
