Got presents! And some FOTDs! And SNOW!

I spend this weekend in a slow and relaxed way. First I went to work - because I work mon-fri and also have another job on wednesday evenings and on SATURDAYS every week... (haa... I truly must love working... =_=') Then I went to a biiiig shopping center in Warsaw to buy a winter jacket and 2 pairs of comfortable flat boots and then my parents who met me there took me home with them, to my hometown, where I spent the whole Sunday too. I bought a ZARA winter down jacket and I did well - just as we were leaving the shopping ceter, it was starting to snow like crazy and now all Warsaw is completely covered with snow - it looks so pretty!

FOTD #1.
Since I was spending a slow sunday at home, my makeup is minimal. Usually I don't even wear makeup at home, but we were going grocery shopping and for a walk, cream and makeup keeps my skin safe from the cold. I used a sample of MAC's Pro Long Wear Foundation in NC20, I am wondering whether I should buy it, I am running out of foundation... Also only eyeliner and mascara. Anway, here you can also see how GEO ANGEL BLUE lenses look in different light! 


Overall, in flash photos, they look unnatural, but in artificial light like... office or any other place that does not have super bright lights (think cosmetics store), but regular lights, they look pretty dark and not that unnatural. Unless you look really close, which most people don't... (O_o)
Oh, also Dazzleglass in Sugarrimed on my lips.

So, that's GEO ANGEL BLUE! Super comfortable btw, my full review is here!

Also, my coworker came back from Korea and gave me my omiyage I asked for, Missha Deep Cleansing Oil! <3333 I looooove this oil! Also I really love removing my makeup with cleansing oils and then just to be sure my makeup is off and my face is clean I double wash it (with La Roche-Possay EFFACLAR cleansing gel). I think removing makeup is sooo super important and also removing bb creams, since they have so much silicones and all that not really great stuff in then, sometimes regular makeup removers don't cut it! So I really recommend using makeup removing oil, this one from Missha is VERY good, smells lovely too! 
I want to get Shu Uemura cleansing oil, but they are soo expensive... Already bought boots and jacket and ahve to buy some presents... maybe next month... (=_=')


Also - got a failed Xmas present already!!! XD
By failed I don't mean the present is bad... it was supposed to be under the Xmas tree for me, from my younger sister, but.. she failed!I didn't even know what she bought for me, but when I went home on Sunday she said "don't bother me, go to my room and just wait there for me!" when I wanted sth from her. So I did, I st by her desk, went online ,got bored, and there in the middle of her desk was this lovely OPI 2 nail polishes and glittery bronzer set! I though "Oooh, pretty!" and looked at it. Then she came into the room and she went a bit mad - at herself mostly - because turns out it was the present for me! XDDD What fail... I'm sorry sister, but I did nothing wring in this situation! 
Anyway, I took it home since I already know... I will put it under the Xmas tree anyway... lol

SHOW IT AND GLOW IT and LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU (a lovely deep cherry rep with fine red glitter)





*********************
And to finish this entru, my FOTD today!
I used MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow and I also am wearing Geo Angel Blue circle lens again. Here are photos without and with circle lens. My hair cut is terrible and has NO VOLUME (T_T) So sad... but in the morning leaving for work I don't really have time to do much styling, what should I do? I was thinking about gettinghot curlers!


Cheeks: MAC Dainty
Lips: MAC Peachstock
Eyes: Visee A-2 palette glitter and MAC Woodwinked EYEBROWS: KATE palette
Lashes: Kanebo SENSAI 38 mascara (hand em down from older sister, I love how watrproof it is)
Face: Missha Perfect Cover BB cream mixed with REVLON Photo Ready foundation, finished with MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural (#medium)


And some pics of all the lovely snow here, today leaving for work:

And from my home town, Sunday.

How pretty.... <33333

ebay shopping: Missha Perfect BB Deep Cleansing Oil!

Another nice thing came in the mail~ Finally I repurchased my favourite makeup remover - Missha cleansing oil! It just feels so soft and fresh on skin, smells wonderful, so fruity and good but not too strong (like grapefruits?). It removes my makeup perfectly, even bb cream, eyeliner, all kinds of mascaras and I can massage my face while I clean it. :) After this oil I use the Hadalabo Gokujun face wash I got recently, or some other face wash. ^^* W-washing! 


I got some Missha samples and a cute letter from the eBay seller, I got it from Bello-girl @ eBay. She warned me the shipping might take longer because of the trouble cause by the volcanic ash over Europe, but it got here in about a week. The service was very good and I am happy I could finally get my cleansing oil... Honestly, the two things I like most about makeup is applying it and removing it. xDD Wearing it is like a bonus, applying and removing is the real fun. And then skincare~ <3


So yeah, if you are looking for a new, good thing to remove your makeup, I definitely recommend this Missha oil!! <33 I love it and  it`s a repurchase for me. ^^* What do you use to remove makeup now?? *curious*

Saturday at work was unexpectedly tough for many reasons, mainly the 6th day at work in a week and other stuff. After talking to people for 5h, my tongue just started boycotting me and I couldn`t talk. Taking it slow today though. Made a spinach & blue cheese pasta. Tried to get some tan on my legs (with filters!). And just trying to relax more...

Rain, rain, go away.... and my simple makeup life recently ;)

(on the left it`s is me just before leaving for work on hmmm thursday? I also applied MAC Creme Cup after taking this photo, which I`ve been using all week long and enjoying it lots ;) I need to cut my fringe! D:)
Recently I am just using the things I bought recently and not buying new things, except a couple nail polishes (China Glaze - Poolside collection! :D) and buying refills for my skincare routine (Hadalabo Gokujun series toner, milk and also sheet face masks and face wash for the first time :D). I am waiting for those things to arrive.
I keep my everyday makeup rather simple too, as always I like very well defined lashes and winged eyeliner, but I don`t have enough time to wear fake lashes before work, too bad, I love fake lashes! ;D 

The only possibly partially exciting thing I`ve been doing is wearing light moss green or light lily colored eyeshadow instead of my usual golden/beinge/brown nudy eyeshadows. I am using THE FACE SHOP (korean brand) pigment Shiny Green for green eyeshadow, and MAC`s Lovely Lily pigment for the lily/purple look. I should take photos of those shadows... I also used Push The Edge purple pigment for bottom lash line :D The purple eyeshadows look really good with green eyes. ^^* Tried to snap some pics for you:

THE FACE SHOP shiny green pigment!

MAC lovely lily and push the edge pigments, applied dry


I also repurchased this, in bigger size this time, 500ml:
I really like this BIODERMA Sensibio micelle solution! It never irritates, it feels like clean water, but it  removes all kinds of makeup! Even my mascara (but it is not a waterproof mascara though). When I get home after work and just want to have my face clean, but don`t feel like washing it and getting my hair wet (somehow it always happens lol), so I just use 2 cotton pads and Sensibio micelle solution, and all makeup is gone and my face feels clean and fresh! :D I love it!! I think I should buy a small plastic container, like the ones Sephora offers, and carry this around with me, so that if I stay overnight somewhere, I have all I need to remove makeup in my bag, in one small bottle. :D How convenient would that be! 


Talking about nails. This is my manicure now, China Glaze Recycle with INGOT`s holographic blue on top (sorry for the blurry pic). Looks kind of nice and fits the weather too, it`s been raining all may long in Poland!! D: Can we have nice summery weather already please? It`s been literally raining every day, it`s so gloom and everyone`s sleepy... In anticipation of warmer days, I ordered the whole Poolside collection, except Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, because I would never wear yellow on my nails anyway, makes me somehow think of reptiles?? xD See swatches here! NEON! <3 Hope they arrive soon! :D

Ah, it just started raining again! (T__T) Where are you summer? (O_o?)

I am finishing watchin Spartacus: Blood and Sand in the mean time, and I am loving it! So brutal though! But a great drama overall. <3

I want to do a give-away or swap! And I need new mascara! And waiting for new Missha cream! :D

Hey girls!
I am thinking I want to do a swap or a giveaway! Anyone would like to participate?? :3 This entry will be rather random about things I am waiting for or things I will or want to get! :D

Have you seen the new Superglass glosses from MAC preview at Temptalia?
OMG! I love Dazzleglasses, so I will definitely get some Superglasses as well! :D So sparkling :*:・( ̄∀ ̄)・:*: I need them in my life, hahah.

I am also waiting for a package from my friend Mimi from Korea! I will be getting this cream from Missha!
みみ♡いつもありがとう(^人^) チュー
I actually got a sample of this cream with Missha BB cream I ordered from eBay and this cream was amazing! Thick and gritty, like natural honey, and it felt amazing on my skin! I will use it as a night cream :D Can`t wait!!! I think it`s a skin deep relaxing moisturising essence, with gold powder and wild korean ginseng! They list it as moisturising, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, nutritioning and whitening cream with elastin and keratin and tons of some herbs and ginsengs and who knows whats. xD But I tried in on my face before, and I was impressed! Estee Lauder for my eyes and this for my face! :D Goodbye premature wrinkles, yes\yes? :D
And it comes with half size try out lotion and milk from Misa (美思) series and something else too... (on the right in the box)? Lol, actually if someone can translate some info for me from korean, I would be very grateful! xDDD Missha also makes their pages in image files, so I can`t even use online translator... :I

super excited! :D

Anywhoo, I`m also running out of mascara. Recently I`ve been using Etude house mascara base and Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara (very good and so cheap!) and then Majolica Majorca Frame Expander mascara on top of Rimmel. I love huge dramatic lashes! I had problems removing the Majolica mascara, even though it looks gorgeous and makes lashes soooo long (fibers!), it is impossible to remove! ((>д<)) But I finally found out how to remove majolica mascara! When I layer it over another mascara (I have Sexy Curves in regular, not waterproof version), it comes off easily! I guess it`s the extra layer between lashes and the super strong mascara, that makes it all come off easily. :D 
I am running out of all of those and wondering what mascara to get next. I really like those two together, but I was looking at Helena Rubinstein mascaras and they look really nice~ ♡ Should I get this one instead? Helena Rubinstein Feline Blacks, the packaging is super cute, I think I was looking at a different version of this in Sephora, the brush was a tiny bit rubber like, instead of a regular brush and it`s waterproof.. looks really tempting! Opinions?

After payday I will be also finally getting my Missha Deep Cleansing Oil and maybe also Kanebo Blanchir Superior face washing soap. 
I always wash my face 2 or 3 times morning and night. 
(Actually I was asked to post about how I clean my face, by Pati☆, and I will try to make a post about that, but generally, I wash my face 3 times - and that counts as one session of removing makeup and washing my face. First I remove makeup (oil or other makeup remover), then optional scrub wash and then a face wash, sometimes I do step 1 and 3 two times, just to make sure I really washed my face clean! :D And since I have very dry skin now I practically never exfoliate now, maybe once a month with a very soft scrub.) 

What do you want to get or are getting soon?
