November nail art challenge: Woodland

Today I have the last mani from November nail art challenge, I could do this probably a week ago but I was trying out some new polishes that I have and now I finally made the last theme for the challenge. The theme was Woodland. I love how it turned out. I only did an accent nail with the tree and I really like it. This also reminded me why I love nail art challenges so much...Beside nail art I get to use nail polishes that I didn't use for a long time. Like Essence The Only Chance! I can't remember last time I used it and it is such a beauty. Hopefully I will continue with challenges in January!

I used: Essence The Only Chance!, China Glaze Snow, Golden Rose 106, Models Own Bronze Rage and p2 Tangerine Twist

November nail art challenge: Thanksgiving

Once again I'm late with the challenge. After this one I have two more themes and I decided that I will probably skip December challenge which is a shame because it's a Christmas challenge and I love those. Since I don't want post Christmas manis in the middle of January it is better this way. Also, I have few new nail polishes that I want to try and I really don't have time for everything especially in such busy month.

Today I have Thanksgiving nails. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in my country so this is my first time ever Thanksgiving mani. I googled a bit and this is what I came with. I applied white base and used some Thanksgiving colors with turkey on my accent nail.  

I used: China Glaze Snow, Models Own Bronze Rage, p2 Tangerine Twist, p2 Lemon Drop and Essence Absolute Stylish

November nail art challenge: Moustaches

November challenge can't be without moustaches and I was looking forward to this one. I knew I want pastel nails and I used my water decal moustaches that I have for years but I used them only once. This was perfect opportunity to use them again. 

I used: Essence Flamingo Rose, Essence Iced Mint Frappe, p2 Violet Summerdream and Julep Blake

November nail art challenge: Leaves

Time for my 2nd mani for November challenge. I like the fall theme - leaves. I also love colors I used, which look better in real life as well as the whole manicure. When I look at my nails from normal distance they look really nice but closeup shows few flaws...However not so bad for my first ever leaves mani. 

I used: Golden Rose number 330, p2 Tangerine Twist, Essence Waking Up  In Vegas and Golden Rose number 106

November nail art challenge: Mermaid

After I finally finished September nail art challenge I'm just in time for November challenge. Again from the same Instagram account. I'm enjoying these challenges because without it I would probably never do nail art and I started to really miss it ,so this is great for me. Also, these challenges are amazing because there is only eight themes each month which is not impossible to do. Although I have to say September challenge was a challenge for real because it took me so much more time than I thought it would. But better late then never, right?

Now let's look at my first mani. I love it so much, it turn out better then I expected. The theme was Mermaid. All I actually did was apply base color (Essence Bella ) and applied different color dots. I love this so much that I want to do it in different colors as well.

I used: p2 Adorable, p2 Seductive, Essece Bella, Essence Chuck, Maybelline City Smoke and China Glaze Snow

September nail art challenge: Texture

Last mani  from September challenge is finally here. I had so many different ideas for this one, but in the end I decided to do something completely different last minute. I guess it's just because I can't remember when was the last time I had flowers on my nails.

I used: Essence Hello Marshmallow!, p2 Seductive and p2 Adorable.

September nail art challenge: Stained Glass

Finally new post and new mani. I definitely have to hurry up with these manis because October is almost over and this is still September challenge. After one whole week of naked nails here is my last mani with new one in making, I just painted my nails and decided that is also time for new post. So the theme is Stained Glass. First I applied base color and I applied black lines. After that I filled with color in between the lines with different colors. Pretty easy manicure but great effect.

I used: Golden Rose number 106 and 330, China Glaze Passion For Petals and p2 Open Your Heart!

Empty #31

BaleaYoung Sweet Wonderland shower gel - somehow I had this in my empties even though I used it up long time ago. I remember I liked this chocolate scented product. This was limited edition and unfortunately Balea is not coming out with these any more.

Aveo Happy Melon shower gel - yet another Aveo shower gel in my empties, this one is nice and fruity.

Treacle Moon Lovely Mint Story and The Raspberry Kiss shower creams  - the fact that Treacle Moo n shower creams are in every single empty post shows how much I love them. Here I have one full size and mini size bottle. Lovely Mint Story is one that didn't impressed me. I don't like the scent...it is too, well - minty. This is my least favorite from all scents I tried. On the other hand The Raspberry Kiss is very nice.

Bettina Barty - Cocos & Limette bath and shower gel - I love this. Good quality shower gel and amazing scent.  I will repurchase this one.

Sun Dance sun protect cream SPF 50 - this is mostly used up by  my daughter but I also used it few times and it protects skin very good. With this I'm not afraid of sunburns for me or my kid.

Essence Urban Massages lipstick - this was one of my favorite casual, day lipsticks. Peachy glow was pretty every day look and on my lips it felt like lip balm. I don't use up lipstick very often but when I do you know I loved it.

p2 Sheer Glam Fame lipstick - another lipstick today. At one point this was my absolute favorite, I had it on my lips every single day. Lately, I was wearing it time to time. I got tired of it little bit but it is still very pretty every day color.

Look By Bipa face brush - I have this brush few years and I used it a lot. I applied blush with it and it was very good. Recently handler got broken and even though I can still use a brush I have so many in my stash that I can easily say goodbye to it. 

What is in your empties?

Five favorite fall lipsticks

Most of the time I call myself a pink girl. When it comes to lipsticks, lip gloss or nail polishes pink is usually my go to color and the color I have the most in my stash. During fall ( and winter ) I change it a little bit. Not that I don't use pink anymore but I often reach for other colors as well. Today let's talk about lipsticks. I looked forward to this fall because it is my favorite time of year to use purplicious shades. They are my favorite at this time of year. Except purple I like to wear red.

Here I have my five favorites. First I have two red shades. Oriflame Daring Red is my favorite red lipstick, the one I love to use when I dress up. It is a classic and always looks elegant. Next one is p2 Love Happens. This one is from Sheer Glam line and it is perfect for everyday looks. It is not too bold but it can make a statement. After reds here are my usual picks lately, purplicious lipsticks.  First one is L'oreal Glamor Fuchsia. Now this is another statement lipstick. When you have it on your lips you can't go unnoticed. You can do your makeup quickly and with Glamor Fuchsia on your lips it will look like you spend hours in front of a mirror. Next one is Golden Rose 113. This one can go as pink lipstick but it beautiful, unusual pink. I like to use it when I'm in pink mood and I want to wear bright lipstick Still, there is that hit of purple which makes me love it so much. Last one is Essence Wear Berries! which is really nice darker everyday color but it looks very good on evening makeup looks as well.

Oriflame Daring Red, p2 Love Happens, L'oreal Glamor Fuchsia, Golden Rose 113 and Essence Wear Berries!

In the end if I have to choose only one from my five favorites that would be L'oreal Glamor Fuchsia. J'adore it!

What is your favorite fall lipstick?

New in - February and March 2015

I will start this New in post with my last buy. Everything you see on photo above I bought while I was in Germany. Considering that I was there only four days and that I didn't do proper shopping this is great catch. Here I have: Treacle Moon Lovely Mint Story, Ebelin nail polish remover, Catrice Velvet Finish, Catrice Nude Illusion, Bale Cabana Dream body lotion, Balea Tropical Sunshine body lotion, Balea cream, Essence So This Is Love blush ( click ), p2 Lovely Trust and Love Happens lipsticks, Essence I Heart Extreme mascara and Essence I Heart Stage eyeshadow base.

Please notice that there are no nail polish!! It really seems that my lack of space and storage for nail polish is taking a toll on me so I didn't even bought p2 nail polish which I always do. Mostly I bought products that I already know, there was no time for looking and exploring...I didn't even get to go in Lush and The Body Shop. 

Beside products I bought in Germany I didn't bought a lot. Only a Schwarzkopf Got2Be hairspray and two Balea creams in cutest tins ever. These creams are for your face or your body, I will probably use them on my face. Main reason why I bought them is the beautiful packing, if you look again on first photo you can see another Balea cream. I found that one in Germany and if Balea comes out with more of these I believe that I will buy every single one of them. After I use them for a while you can expect a blog post. 

Last photo is actually my first buy in February. Here is my new perfume Beckham Intimately. Very nice scent, I already had Beckham Intimately Yours and still can't decide which one I prefer. I will post more about it very soon! 

For the end of this post I have two nail polishes: Essence Icy Fairy and Essence Lady Mermaid. I absolutely love both of them and I already posted my swatches so if you want to know more click here and here.

Did you tried any of these products?
