Instagram #1

http://instagram.com/luciaknowsbeauty/

So I am proudly a member of instagram profile as I (after a long journey with my blackberry) finally decided to get iPhone and oh man, that was a GOOD decision. I love to check out other people on instagram and made few pictures myself:)

Takže som sa stala hrdou majiteľkou instagramového profilu keďže (po dlhej ceste s mojou blackberry) som sa konečne rozhodla kúpiť si iPhone a uf uf, bolo to veľmi DOBRÉ rozhodnutie. Zbožňujem pozeranie ostatných ľudí na instagrame a sama som už urobila zopár fotiek.

Wishlist #3

Maybe you might have noticed that I changed the name of my blog. I think it will be more self-explanatory what my blog is about. The other thing that is going to change from this blogpost is that I am going to translate everything to Slovak as I am slovak and my mum (and other people who don't speak english) would like to read it, but can't understand.

Možno ste si všimli, že som zmenila meno tohoto blogu. Prišlo mi zrozumitelnejšie pre čitateľov o čom má tento blog byť. Ďalšia zmena spočíva v mojom preklade do Slovenského jazyka, keďže som pôvodom Slovenka a moja mamina (a ostatní ľudia, ktorí nerozumejú po anglicky), by si ho radi prečítali, ale nerozumejú. (Musím sa priznať, že vás poprosím, aby ste so mnou boli trpezliví, keďže som minimálne zvyknutá písať v slovenskom jazyku:))

This time I am coming with another wishlist as you might feel suprised that I always need something, but let me just say, there is always something new and great and I HAVE TO HAVE IT:)

Tento krát som tu znova s ďalším zoznamom vecí, ktoré by som chcela a aj keď ste asi prekvapení, že stále niečo potrebujem, ale vždy sa nejak vyskytne niečo nové čo proste MUSÍM MAŤ:)

As I purchased too many things these past few weeks, I just rather mention only 3 top products that really caught my attention. 

Keďže som tieto posledné týždne nakupovala až príliš veľa, spomeniem radšej iba 3 top produkty, ktoré ma skutočne zaujali. 

1. Rimmel Matte finish topcoat. It just gives absolutely different dimension to any nail look. Can't wait to do different nail arts with this.

1. Rimmel zmatňujúci lak na nechty. Dodáva úplne inú dimenziu do akéhokoľvek nechtového look-u. Neviem sa dočkať keď budem môcť vyskúšať rôzne kreácie. 

2. Mac eyeshadow in Cranberry. When I tried it I fell in love. A very similar colour to this is my go-to smokey eye colour, so I thought this might be a nice change. And it nicely sparkles:)

2. Mac očné tiene v Cranberry. Keď som ho vyskúšala, zamilovala som sa. Veľmi podobnú farbu očného tieňa používam na moje obľúbené dymové líčenie, takže si myslím, že toto by mohla byť pekná zmena. 

 

3. Mac blush in Plum foolery. Might be a little bit too late for this as hopefully spring is coming, but it is soooooo pretty.

3. Mac lícenka v Plum foolery. Možno som ju objavila trošku neskoro keďže hádam, že jar už konečne prichádza, ale táto lícenka je skutočne krásna.

Soonish I will show you which of my 3 wishlists came true and if some didn't, the reason for it:)

Čoskoro vám ukážem, ktoré produkty z mojich troch zoznamov som si kúpila a dôvody prečo niektoré z nich nie:)

My favourite face makeup brushes

I wasn't the biggest addict of makeup brushes in the past,but when I found the really good ones,I see a very big difference how my makeup lasts and looks.

I would like to show you what makeup brushes I love to use on everyday basis because of their great quality and performance.

The brushes that I purchase most of time are the foundation ones. As I am wearing foundation everyday  and don't have time to wash them that often (and I wash my brushes after one use), it works for me great and I can find how they work best. Sigma angled kabuki brush works amazing! It is so ease to build up foundation and blend it where needed. 

The stippling brush from real techniques I use every time when I break out and need super coverage. Just stipple it on, looks great, natural and your skin doesn't look like it is going through the hell.

There is not a lot to tell about this brush. Just easy, quick and soft;)

I absolutely adore this brush. My only Chanel brush, which is so worth it. Use it for blush, highlighter or bronzer, depends on the look that I go for. 

It is easy to always have just right amount of blusher on-not too much, not too little. As you take blush on the tip of the brush and then blend with the whole size of the brush.

My favourite makeup removers

It is important to have good make-up remover as when you don't remove it properly, it is impossible to have healthy skin with clogged pores;)

I would like to share the ones I currently love and certainly recommend. 

I started to take off my makeup as soon as I get home from work. Sometimes, when I am either hungry or have to do something else, I just quickly grab a wipe (No7 cleansing wipes) just to remove most of it, so my skin can breathe and later on do a normal cleansing routine with makeup remover and then cleanser. 

The first is Clean energy Cleansing oil from Origins. This last year I started to use cleansing balms and oils as I find they really dissolve all the makeup and leave skin super soft. Even when I have combination oily skin, it doesn't clog my pores. Containing sunflower, sesame and safflower oils they make perfect combination to have relaxational experience while using. Retails for £19.

Clinique cleansing balm is a special balm that melts off to an oil when warming up between the fingers. Balm that doesn't contain oil as such perfect for dry skin where it helps to nourish the dry patches and with oily cleanses deep down to the pores. Retails for £20.50.

Liz Earle's Hot cloth polish is somehow my favourite as it smells nice, it is easy to use and I try to treat to this one only sometimes as if I use it everyday, one bottle would last me for a month, which with price £13.50 isn't the best budget help. But if you want one of the best, definitely have to try. (I have never heard a bad review on this product-you try it, you love it.)

For my eyes I always (or most of the time) I like to use separate eye makeup remover. Even though all the makeup removers I mentioned remove your eye makeup as well, the best results that you can get for your eye area :nourishing your lashes (which helps them to be strong and beautiful) is definitely with separate specifically made eye makeup remover. (which removes even waterproof eye makeup) Retails for £16.

WHICH ARE YOUR FAVOURITE MAKEUP REMOVERS? DO YOU LIKE TO USE WASH OFFS OR TISSUE OFFS?:)
