Hey everyone!
Today's post is all about fall makeup trend.
Some seasons, runway makeup is more wacky than wearable. This was not one of those seasons. Instead, over-the-top creations were put aside in favor of time-honored techniques recast with a fresh spin. Cat-eye liner was flirty, shapely, and colorful.
Orangey Shadow
Lips:Red lips
Eyes- If spring was all about blue and green, fall is all about purple. A deep, brownish purplish, to be exact.
Glittery eyes - Is there a woman among who doesn't love a little bling?!

How To Rock a Denim Jacket!
Hey Girls,
Today post is all about shelf life of the normal fashion trend, the one item that never really goes out of style is the denim jacket, and it’s probably because there are so many different ways to wear a denim jacket. A denim jacket is perfect for virtually every body type.
The ways to wear a denim jacket are countless, but here are a few tips.
1. KEEPIN’ IT CASUAL
Today post is all about shelf life of the normal fashion trend, the one item that never really goes out of style is the denim jacket, and it’s probably because there are so many different ways to wear a denim jacket. A denim jacket is perfect for virtually every body type.
The ways to wear a denim jacket are countless, but here are a few tips.
1. KEEPIN’ IT CASUAL
Nothing says "I’m approachable" quite like a traditional denim jacket. A denim jacket is a wardrobe staple it doesn’t overwhelm an outfit like other items might. Personally, I am not a fan of wearing it, However if you really want to try it out, pair up a washed out denim jacket a plain black or white t-shirt with a pair of solid dark denim or a colored jeans. If you are feeling daring choose a bold red jean, a muted salmon or coral pant, but avoid using the same color pant as the jacket.
2. WHITE WASH
When most people think of denim, their mind automatically goes to blues, but what about white denim? A white jean jacket is something every woman should have on standby next to her LBD and red heels. You can’t really go wrong with a white denim jacket mostly because it’s neutral like black and brown, which means it literally goes with everything and will definitely be your go to jacket when it comes to pairing it up with colored skinnies.
3. MAX IT OUT & SHORTEN UP
Maxi dresses and maxi skirts are all the rage no matter what the season, but something that looks great with them is a short denim jacket — which gives a whole new take to the high-low trend. A short denim jacket is definitely something that depends on your body type. The average denim jackets cuts off at a natural waist, but if you have a slightly smaller waist or a larger bust the short denim jacket may end up making you look off balance and top heavy. Before making a purchase try out different lengths until you find out that you think best fits your curves.
4. DRESS IT DOWN
Speaking of dresses, your standard denim jacket looks great over a patterned, knee length dress. Don’t be afraid to mix really girly pieces with harsher fabrics like denim and cowboy or combat boots. It gives the outfit a whole new twist rather than the predictable head-to-toe cutesy look. One trend that is great with this jacket is Aztec print dress, it tones the print down whilst giving the outfit a little bit of an edge – pair up with gold accessories and killer wedges for a more glamorous look.
5. DENIM & LEATHER
If you want to go for an edgier look, then wear a denim jacket and slink into something leather. You can wear the jacket with a leather circle skirt, leather shorts or a pair of leather leggings. If you aren’t too keen about wearing actual leather, then you can always substitute the more common, less expensive faux leather. Together denim and leather will spice up any outfit, but if you want to brighten up this look then consider adding a solid bold color top or soften the look by pairing it up with a sheer blouse.
6. A ROMPER’S BFF
Rompers or playsuits are the quintessential summertime get-up. Everything about a romper is perfect for the summer time, The material is light like a sundress, but is more comfortable because you don’t have to worry about the wind blowing it up in the cooler weather when summer comes to an end. Slipping on a denim jacket — of your choice — completes the outfit in a more relaxed approach rather than a blazer, which is perfect for a breezy day.
Hope it was helpful and gave you some ideas for this Autumn. If you want to keep on updated follow the blog for the near future posts. :)

Review
Hey girls,
Today I have a review post. I have never done anything like this. If you like it let me know and I would do more :)
Today's review is from a website called "Sammydress"
I have purchased all the stuff by my own money.
The website is based in China.
My first purchase was a bow necklace.. it is so pretty ( You can see it in the photo below). It took 2 months to arrive.. I don't like that cause I get super excited to receive the order but I was sooo much impressed with the package, was all rapped in a bubble rap.
I was happy with my purchase.. it was even free shipping :D beside took so long to arrive.
My second order was a set of 5 rings and a make up brush. They were free shipping too. It only took 2 weeks. They were in a bubble rap too. The makeup brush is perfect for foundation and it is so soft, it feels like you are touching feathers. It is even travelled sized foundation brush (Check the photo below). Three rings are egastbile and the other two fit the pinky finger and they are so cute to wear them for everyday (You can see them in the photo below). I am so happy with this purchase more than my other order.
I am pleased with the items. I will shop from them again and if you like, I will start doing hauls.
Hope it was helpful! If you have any question, you can ask me.

Easy Tricks For Nicer Eyebrows!
Today I will give you some tips and tricks that I have learnt.
The eyebrows are the faces frame, that`s why you should be very careful with them.
Admit it – anyone of us has been experimenting with her eyebrows at a certain stage of her life. They have been short, too thin, totally different from each other etc. But now you know that good-looking eyebrows are the key to being good-looking .
1. Try to tweeze your eyebrows after taking a shower, because it will be easier and will hurt less, too.
2. Brush your eyebrows with a mini eyebrow comb, before starting to form them, as this way you will see if you need to cut some area a little bit.
3. Don`t tweeze your eyebrows randomly. You aim at forming the eyebrows, not detonating your face. Be careful and tweeze one hair at a time. Try to follow the natural line and do not shorten the eyebrow too much – it is ugly.
4. It is not a good idea to remove hairs from the upper side of your eyebrow, so avoid doing it!
Remember – always tweeze your eyebrows during the day, because of the sunlight, which will give you more accurate vision of how your eyebrows look like. Last but not least – do not shave or totally remove your eyebrows, as you might never see them again!

How To Get That No-Make Up Look
Hello girls!
Woke up late? Working early? Don't have time to do so much make up? Going to a pool party? Here I am going to give you some tips to look put together and fresh for the summer time.
1. Put some sunscreen with SPF 15 or more
2. The first thing prime your face
3. Use a BB cream
If you don't want to use three separate products but want one product on the go, Estée Lauder Daywear BB Multi-Perfecting Beauty Benefit Crème SPF 35 is the best for you cause it has a combination of moisturizer, primer, sheer foundation and sunscreen, it also has a touch of shine control.
4. Define your eyebrows - So you can use less eye makeup
5. Curl lashes and line the upper inner rim with waterproof eye liner and then apply a waterproof mascara. - If you like to do eye shadow, apply eye primer and use a cream eye shadow for applying fast.
6. For the blush, contour choose a light color. Blush not bright.
7. Finish with a sheer lip color
8. Last and not least spray some makeup setting spray all over the face.

What type of skin do you have?.. How to care for your skin type?
In order to care for your skin properly you will have to know its type. I want to share some things I learned with all of you. Here you will get an idea on what type of skin you have and learn what sort of care it requires.
Normal skin - Feels neither dry, nor oily. Its pores are visible, but are not large or clogged. It remains smooth after washing and still looks fresh and clean around noon. Occasionally spots can appear.
How to care for normal skin - Wash it often rubbing it with light massaging motions. Use night cream for normal skin. Remove makeup with makeup removal tonic and follow this with a light moisturizer.
................
Dry skin - Is thin with papery texture. It feels dry, as if something is pulling on it. Pores look normal. After washing it feels tight, as if it is a size too small for your face. By noon flaky areas appear. Dry skin does not have spots.
How to care for dry skin - Use makeup removal lotion and not a tonic, because tonics further dehydrate the skin. Washing with cold water is recommended, because this will refresh the skin and give it more elasticity. Use deep hydration lotions and creams, preferably ones with moisture retaining properties.
.....................
Oily skin - Well, oily skin feels greasy. Its texture is often rough. The pores are large and clogged with debris. It feels great after washing. Around noon this skin type is already greased and shiny. Spots appear often.
How to care for oily skin - Wash your face with cleansing foam. This way you will remove grease and dirt, but retain moisture. Use alcohol based tonic to cleanse your face. It will dissolve fats and act as a disinfectant. After it you will have to apply moisturizer, but make sure to use a light water-based kind. Give the lotion a few minutes to get absorbed by the skin and wipe the excess with a tissue.
.....................
Combined skin - is a mixture of normal, dry and oily skin in different areas of the face. Dryness is most often found in the area of the cheeks. Oily is the skin in the T-zone and the chin. After washing some areas feel dry, while others feel perfect. Around noon the T-zone is already shining with grease while the cheeks are noticeably dry. Most women are of the combined skin type.
How to care for combined skin -Use cleansing foam to wash your face in the morning. This keeps the oily areas clean and prevents the formation of blackheads. In the evening use a deep hydrating lotion to calm the dry areas.
...........................
Sensitive skin - Sensitive skin is easily irritable. Typical reactions are itching, burning and flaking. After washing it feels dry and certain areas of it feel itchy. By noon it is already red and flaking. Spots appear occasionally.
How to care for sensitive skin - Do not wash your face with soap. Instead, use hypoallergenic cleansing lotion. Make sure your lotions do not contain perfume or alcohol. Use only products designed for sensitive skin. Fortunately, there are a lot of these on the market.

Bright Colours
Few weeks left for summer so make sure that you will stop wearing nude colors on you eyes and change your eye look into brighter :D
Here I will give you an idea for some bright eye looks..
In this first look is just added a tiny bit of color but make ton of difference. A colorful eyeliner/eye pencil will change your look.
For those who aren't into colors for eye looks this is a great idea.
In this second look is for those who love smokey look but not always adding black but with a touch of blue and navy blue. Lips can be light pink or nude.

Don't be afraid this summer adding more than 2 colors to your eye look.
If you aren't into colorful eye look do a color lips. Lips change your whole look. Do a soft eye look. Get out from your comfort zone and do a red/purple/orange lipstick :)

What Color Of Eye Shadows Is Best For You?
A lot of you can not decide which colors of eye shadows look best on them. If you are one of these women, I have compiled these guidelines here just for you. One of the main things to remember is that the color of the shade should be a few tones lighter than the color of the eyes.
The main purpose of eye shadows is to highlight the natural color of the eyes. This is why it is recommended that you use natural tones which do not contrast with the color of your iris. One of the basic rules is to choose such shades which are either a few tones darker or lighter than the color of your eyes. Never use shadows in the same color and tone as the color of your iris. For example, if you have dark brown eyes, apply some light-brown tones of shades. They will make your eyes stand out and will add more expression to them.
There are some overall rules which will make your choice easier:
Red - Do not put red shadows over your eyelids unless you are trying to create an impression of fatigue. Even the palest red tones can have an aging effect if they are applied close to the eyes.
Too much shine - The glossy, shiny effects are suitable only for evening makeup. Use matted shadows for your day makeup.
More than one color - Sure you can use more than one color of shades, but only as long as you harmonize them correctly. Use a clean soft brush to blend each tone with the one next to it. There should be no distinguishable line between the different colors. Use a different brush or applicator for each color you want to apply. If you use the same brush, the colors will get mixed and your makeup will look dirty.

For example, if you have dark brown eyes, apply some light-brown tones of shades. They will make your eyes stand out and will add more expression to them.
There are some overall rules which will make your choice easier:
- For blue eyes – your colors can range anywhere from lilac and violet to eggplant.
- For brown eyes – you can use almost any color. You can find your best colors mainly through the trial and error process.
- For green eyes – pale pink and reddish brown.
Red - Do not put red shadows over your eyelids unless you are trying to create an impression of fatigue. Even the palest red tones can have an aging effect if they are applied close to the eyes.

Hydrating The Skin
Despite of being often overlooked, the topic of skin hydration is of utmost importance. Regardless of your skin type or condition, whether it be young or old, dry, oily, mixed or problem, your skin need hydration.
Ladies with dryer skin have already learned this lesson, but there are girls with oily skin who are terrified of using hydrating lotions with the erroneous assumption that this way they will clog their pores and evoke problems. Yes, it is true that there is no product more suitable for skin prone to greasiness than the light quickly absorbed fluid. But even oily skin can be dehydrated and in cases such as these, the fluid is insufficient in compensating for the lack of moisture.
How can the skin be oily and dehydrated at the same time? There is a simple explanation. In an attempt to rid yourself of the oily shine, you use aggressive methods which destroy the skin’s protective mechanisms. This way the skin is forced to compensate for its losses and overproduction of sebum is triggered. The skin becomes even oilier. It’s paradoxical, but if your skin is both dehydrated and greasy at the same time, the use of moisturizing products will reduce the shine. Choose a light lotion with a texture that is close to fluid, which would supply the moisture your skin needs.
Don't forget WATER is also essential for skin hydration, as long as it is used as a drink, not topical treatment. Washing the face with water offers none of the positive effects that drinking water gives you. On the contrary – water can dry your skin, depleting its fatty reserves. This is why your skin often feels dry after taking a bath or shower. Use lotion to relieve your skin and replenish it’s moisture

Quick Tips On Applying Day Makeup
Concealer: Apply it first to the innermost corners of the eyes and evenly spread it with your index finger blending it to the surrounding skin. Cover any other skin defects, such as pigment spots or pimples.
Foundation: Apply evenly to the whole face always striving to achieve as natural look as possible.
Powder: Apply freely with a brush to fixate makeup.
Eyebrows: First remove the extra hairs with tweezers if necessary. Underline the eyebrows with eyebrow pencil and brush them upward and outward with an eyebrow brush. You can use eye shadows instead of eyebrow pencil. Apply them with a small applicator brush and smooth out with your finger to achieve a softer and more natural look.
Eyeliner: Use it to highlight the eyes with the appropriate color.
Eye shadows: Use natural tones over the eyelids and darker tones in the fold of the upper eyelid and the outer corner of the eye.
Mascara: Apply to eye lashes in order to lengthen or thicken them as needed.
.
Blush: Should be applied over the cheekbone with upward strokes.
Lipstick and lip liner: Use lipstick one tone darker than your natural lip color. Trace the lips with a pencil in the same tone. Mix the pencil with the lipstick using a small lipstick brush to create a more natural look. Finally add a touch of lip gloss to make the lips juicy and attractive.

Blush: Should be applied over the cheekbone with upward strokes.
Lipstick and lip liner: Use lipstick one tone darker than your natural lip color. Trace the lips with a pencil in the same tone. Mix the pencil with the lipstick using a small lipstick brush to create a more natural look. Finally add a touch of lip gloss to make the lips juicy and attractive.

Tips - Dressing For Your Body Type
Fashion is all about dressing your body. If you know your body shape — and every woman should — then you will be able to find clothes that fit and flatter.

Determine and embrace your body shape
Body shape is all about proportion, and fashion is all about dressing those proportions to look their very best.
When you think about body types, don't focus on height and weight... focus on shape. A slender gal can have the same body shape as a curvy gal, just as a short woman can have the same body shape as her taller friend.
Each of us is unique — and our bodies are, too! Nevertheless, our body shapes are generally narrowed down to five general categories: pear, wedge, rectangle, apple and hourglass. You might fall into one category, or you might be a blend of two or more categories.
Once you've determined your body shape, you can begin to consider which fashion trends to embrace and which to avoid. Spend some time in front of the mirror and do a fair and honest assessment of your body. Then put these fashion tips to work for you!
_______________________________
If your body is pear-shaped like Kim Kardashian's, then you want to minimize your lower half and focus attention upward.
If you have a wedge body like Audrina Patridge's, then you want to draw attention downward to the narrower parts of your body, such as your waist and hips.
If your body is rectangle-shaped like Natalie Portman's, then you want to create curves where they don't necessarily exist.
............................................
If you have an apple-shaped body like Jennifer Hudson's, then you want to elongate your midsection and create the illusion of a smaller waist.
If your body is hourglass-shaped like Beyonce's, then you're a lucky girl! Your shape is all about tastefully showing off those curves: not too baggy, not too tight.
