Violeta Lyskoit





So for a very long time I wanted to buy myself a palette with mostly nude shades. I was looking for palettes like Naked 1,2,3, basics by Urban Decay, The Balm Nude'tude, Nude'dude and other palettes more on the expensive side. But after quite a bit of thinking I decided that my first ever palette should not be expensive or high end. Just a quick info: I am that type of person who likes to invest in quality items, I prefer having 1 good and expensive palette than a lot of cheap ones, of course, there are A LOT of very good drugstore makeup, but this is only my opinion:) As a beginner in this whole makeup sphere I think it's amazing that you can buy so many affordable and great quality drugstore makeup.
And back to the topic, I was walking around "Drogas" in our shopping centre "Akropolis" searching for a pretty nudes based palette and I stopped by Maybelline's The Nudes and Loreal's Colour Riche La Palette Nude. After swatching on my hand a bit I liked the Maybelline palette more so I decided to buy it. It had a discount of 4 euros so I think that I got it for a great deal (it costs ~16eur where I live and I got it for ~12eur)! 

Review:

I am really glad that I got it. It has 12 eyeshadows altogether. If I understood correctly, it consists of 5 matte (3,5,6,8,12) and 7 shimmer (1,2, 4,7,9,10,11) shadows. Please correct me if I am wrong!


So I swatched all the colours on my hand and I have to say that I am pretty impressed. I didn't need to put a lot of layers to build the same colour on my hand as one in the palette. I would say that the first one (1) is more suitable as a highlight here or there in my opinion because it applies almost clear, not pigmented at all, but I think it would look really pretty under lower lash line and to highlight my brow bone. 2, 3 & 5 are very light brown, neutral/nude colours with whom you can never go wrong. I think the most intense and pigmented colour in this palette is the 4 one. It almost looks like a very dark gold colour. I think it would look perfect in the crease! 6,7,8 & 10 - more browner shades, which are more on the darker side. 9 is an amazing light gold, which will suit any of your looks! 11 has a lot more of the white pigment than 1, but it has less shimmer in it. This must be one of my favorite ones in this palette! And lastly 12, it is a perfect black shade, which is not over dramatic and I think is meant to be used to create a smoky eye look!
I think my favorites are 1,2,5,6,8,9 & 11, but I love all of these!
Overall, I am very happy that I picked up this particular palette in the store because it has shimmers and mattes, also almost all the colours in the palette are nicely pigmented, blend really well and look gorgeous on the eyes! It is a wonderful palette for it's price:) Highly recommended! +++

By the way, I am planning on doing different eye makeup looks using this palette so stay tuned for that!:)
If you already have this palette, please let me know what do you think of it. Have a nice day!

SO MUCH PINK IN THIS PICTURE!!
(pictures are not mine, I found these on Pinterest/Google)

1) Lime Crime Velvetines. I just can't stop looking at these. First of all, the colours are amazeballs! Secondly, the packaging is so chic and elegant. Of course I would love to own every single one of these, but in the first place I would grab "Cashemere", "Black velvet", "Bleached", "Riot", "Faded", "Shroom" and... all the rest.
2) Lime Crime Unicorn Lipsticks. Let's just take a minute to appreciate the packaging. It's so pretty that it even hurts! I am dying over "Cry Baby", "D'Lilac", "No she didn't", "Chinchilla", "Coquette" , "Babette" and again... all the rest.
3) Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip. I think you may have already noticed that I love the matte colours! I would love to try "Vice", "Clueless", "Trap", "Seesaw" and "Zipper".
4) NYX Suede Cream Lipstick. I fell in love with these at first sight. Again matte ha ha. I really think that all of these are amazing, but my favorite ones would be "Tea & Cookies", "Vintage", "Sway" and "Sandstorm".
5) L.A. Girl Matte Pigment Gloss. I love how these are actually affordable ha ha. I like the way "Dreamy", "Playful" and "Bazaar" looks.

I hope you liked this and don't forget to comment that's in your wishlist!:) Also, I would love to know what do you think of these if you already have something that I mentioned in your collection!

I love trying out new makeup so I was very excited to finally receive this NYX soft matte lipstick in colour "London". I ordered it from Ebay, it was shipped from America and it came in a very short time ~ about a week (in my opinion for Ebay that's very fast ha ha). I was looking for a matte nude lipstick for ages and now I own one! So excited to take some selfies with this guy!
• • •
Also, I started using 2 new hair products my mom bought recently. It's a Russian brand Лошадиная Сила (Horsepower), which commercial I see on TV almost every day, so it's actually aroused my curiosity and when my mom got these I was super excited! My mom bought a hair mask and a shampoo. I already started using these products and I am actually starting to see the results! If you would like me to do a more detailed review of these two, let me know in the comments:)

And last two things are gel nail polishes. These two are complete opposites. Left one is a black and on the right is a baby pink one ha ha. I love wearing black clothes so I am very excited to start painting my nails in black too! It's by Kinetics in Jet Black #188. A light pink colour I will mostly use for a French manicure:) It's by Sensationail in Babydoll Pink.


Thank you so much for reading! I hope you liked this kind of post:) Let me now that are you trying out this fall! Have a wonderful day!

This is my first Halloween tutorial and I feel so proud because I think it turned out looking adorable!:) I love how my little hair buns suit this look and make it even cuter! By the way, you may have noticed that my eyes look really fake and that's because I changed their colour, my eyes are originally bluish/greenish. I thought that having dark eyes would look awesome with this makeup look:)

And of course, this is not my makeup idea. There are tons of tutorials on this look all over the internet. If you want to see a tutorial on how to make a similar bambi makeup look, you can check out these YouTube videos:

Oh, and I plan on making at least one more Halloween makeup look so stay tuned!!:) If you decide to re-create this look, make sure to send me the pictures, I would love to see them:)

Let me know what are you going to be this Halloween? :)

Lip balm. When the weather is getting cold, it's really important to keep your lips moisturised. No one likes chapped lips! In the fall I prefer using tinted lip balms like the one from Baby Lips by Maybelline in peach kiss and this cute little cupcake balm which I got as a gift from my cousin. 
Dark nail polish. I feel like bright and fun colours are a bit too much for autumn because naturally my outfits became less colourful and bright nails with a dark outfit look a little too much for my liking, but if you love wearing bright nails all year round, that is so cool! Go ahead and rock it:) In picture you can see some of my favorite nail polish colours - MaXfactor mini nail polish in "Fantasy Fire" (45), I think I might do a separate blog post about this one because it's so unique! Next to it lays Kinetics Super Polish Gel and lastly, another favorite is the one that I don't even know how to call, I got it as a gift from a store I ordered from, the only think I know about this one is that it is made in Germany.  
Body butter. On cold and rainy days I love to take a bath and treat myself with a rich and creamy body butter after it. The one I use smells like Vanilla Creme Brulee! It is by Possibility. 
Hair mask. Nothing is better than soft and shiny hair. Now I feel like I should do a pamper routine someday!
Warm blush. I like matching my cheeks with the colours of leaves haha. I feel like a blush gives your face that warmth that sometimes is missing from cold and chilly weather.

Rain boots. It's a huge essential for those who know how real autumn looks and feels like. Before I bought these I had to struggle every rainy day, because my shoes would always get soaked from rain bogs and I hate that feeling when you pull off your shoes and your socks are wet as hell. By the way, my clear rainboots are from Ebay (click here).
Boots. I just think that everyone need one pair of nice lace up booties in their life. Mine are from Member Shop.
Plad anything. Scarf, coat, flannel shirt, dress and etc. IS IN right now like every fall, so you will never miss out on choosing plaid! My red flannel is from House, and a denim one is from Primark,
Stockings/Tighs. Because it's getting much colder than it was in summer, you have to keep your legs warm, I love choosing thicker tights to go with skirts or dresses,  or wearing some cute kitten socks with my clear booties so they would be seen. I also see a lot of people wearing knee-high or over the knee-high socks and I think this looks so cute! Unfortunately, I don't like the way these look on my legs so these bright burned orange socks just lie and dull in my closet. Kitten socks are from Forever 18, blue tights with little colourful dots on them are from Julia Janus and burned orange socks are from a local trade store.

Hello! So I really wanted to make something different, unusual and involve my friends and family to this whole blogging thing and this blog post idea seemed perfect!! I did quite a bit of research to find out that makeup suits best for different face shapes. I asked my friends and family to participate in my blog as face models and I was so glad and thankful that they agreed to help me.

If you don't know that your face shape is, this, this or this picture should help you. This may not be 100% accurate, because many people have combined face shapes (e.g. oval and oblong), which means that both makeup looks would look good on you.

HEART FACE SHAPE:

I was very happy that my best friend Emilija agreed to help me with this small project. Her face is heart shaped and she has very pretty and unique facial features. She is also very good at doing makeup and always has her makeup on point, so she was very pleased when I suggested her doing contour & highlight precisely for her heart shaped face.


if you want to follow my friend on instagram, here it is: @emajey

SQUARE FACE SHAPE:
I want to say huge thank you to my mommy for modeling for me. My mum has a very simmilar face shape to mines, but her is a bit softer square with a bit rounder edges. I also did her whole face makeup here, not only highlight and contour. My mom has bangs so you can't really see what I did to her forehead, but I will mark it in the picture.


DIAMOND FACE SHAPE:
Meet my another good friend - Eglė. Thank you so much for being my model, princess! She already has a beautiful face shape that doesn't need touching up, but it's always fun to embrace your features with a little bit of contour and highlight.

if you want to follow my friend on instagram, here it is: @mazuronaitee

Tell me in the comments that face shape you have!
Thank you so much for reading, have an amazing day!

Take care, V

Ha ha the title might be a little misleading (actually not, Brad Pitt is life). So recently I was obsessed with movies starring Brad Pitt. In this post I really want to share with you some of these movies, which really impressed me and the ones I loved so much that I would watch again and again. Enjoy!


Fury (2014) - this is one of his most recent movies. It's about the war against Nazi German, World War II. Here Brad plays a sergeant role. I loved this movie because it was so honest and true to life. It looked like it was not filmed in the 20th century. Everything was so real and scary at the same time. I will be honest, in the end of the movie I cried so much because it was very touching. It's an amazing movie, you have to watch if you haven't!
| IMDB | Trailer |
* * *
Inglourious Basterds (2009) - although it's drama and a war movie, it has a bit of comedy in it. So again, it's about Jewish U.S. soldiers (Brad is the leader of the group), who try to kill of all Nazi leaders, so World War II could finally end. You may have heard about a lot of things that are shown in this movie. Recommend!
| IMDB | Trailer |
* * *
Fight Club (1999) - you must have heard a lot about this one, I won't even try to explain what is this movie about, because you just have to watch it. This movie should be in everyone's "must watch" list. It's one of my favorite films of all time!
| IMDB | Trailer |
* * *
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) - this is also a famous one. In this movie you not only get Brad Pitt, but also... Angelina Jolie! What? Yes, 2 insanely beautiful creatures in one movie. I couldn't think  myself how I should describe it, so here it is from imdb page: A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other.
| IMDB | Trailer |
* * *
Troy (2004) - I just watched this one. So this is obviously an adaptation of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. This one was set so well also, I can't understand how film
 crew managed to make everything so real, I felt like I was transferred to Antiquity. 
This movie is also good for learning more about history. Loved it so so much, please 
watch it if you haven't already!
| IMDB | Trailer |
* * *
Oh, and I just want to point out the fact that Brad Pitt is an amazing actor and he can play all 
existing and imaginable roles, simply because he is a perfection. How Brad Pitt's fandom 
is called? Because I'm in haha.

If you decided to watch these or you already did, make sure to let me know what you think about
 them in the comments down below. Also, It would be amazing if you suggested me any
 good movies too!

How good does this look? Well, I crave it right now. This salad is a perfect choice for a lunch or dinner. I love the way sun-dried tomatoes taste with all the other ingredients. Dried tomatoes give that special flavor, that makes it so addicting. It may sound funny, but me and my mom are obsessed with this salad and we can not have enough of it. By the way, you don't need any more seasoning to add, because it already tastes great. For a dressing I prefer lemon juice, but my mom likes using olive oil instead. If you are interested how to make it, here is that you are going to need: (by the way, I didn't write any measurements, because it just depends on how much you love particular product) 
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Fresh tomatoes | Sun-dried tomatoes | Cucumbers | Arugula | Parsley | Black olives | Arolla pine tree seeds | Lemon juice
All you need to do is to chop tomatoes, cucumbers when  mix all ingredients and pour some lemon juice.

Take care, V.
