FOTD! Recent makeup!

Last saturday I had to go to my second work and I wanted to wear fake lashes - but I just put on bottom lashes :) So this was the FOTD. Nail polish is China Glaze from Poolside collection. The bottom lashes are Decorative Eyelash bottom lashes cut up into small pieces :)

But later after work and lunch I came back to my apartament and put on more makeup for a night out in Warsaw! :D I added eyelienr and MAC #7 lashes!

The eyeshadows are my recent purchases, MAC's retrospark and woodwinked :D The lipstick is MAC Lady Gaga.

And the coordinate! I wore black shorts and tights and heels.

And this is yesterday's FOTD.

And todays... soooo cold here (T_T)

And korean cookies at work :)

Does your makeup change a lot between everyday / night out makeup?

I am also trying my luck in this Giveaway @ Pearly N Kelly blog!

Recent MAC shopping and magazines! :)

First of all, my new magazines sent by my sempai from Japan arrived! :DDD Yay! Happie Nuts with beautiful new autumn makeup section, BLENDA, JELLY and EMODA catalog with lots of freebies! :D I am at work, so I will read them later!

And recently I went to MAC and bougt 2 eyeshadows and the new eyeliner from Fabulous Felines collection - the eyelienrs are soo cool, the colors are great! Metallic grays and dark plum and navy were my favourite, but there is also sparkly gold and silver, or khaki, etc. the names are cool too! I got regular black, a little bit metallic, but the name of the color is "ON THE HUNT". :D

I also got 2 eyeshadows I liked on the stand, the one on the left is retrospeck, the one on the right is woodwinked. They didn't have retrospeck in a pro-pan version, so I had to buy it in regular packaging and depot it myself. I was depotting mac eyeshadows (or any eyeshadows for that matter) for the first time ever, but I more less remembered the tweezers and lighter method and I did it and it was super easy and fast :)

Retrospeck is sparkly gold. Woodwinked is a tiny bit coppery natural light brown, it has a pear sheen to it, I love it! (click photos to see larger size)

Swatches on fingers! :D Pretty?

And below are all my mac eyeshadows!

Not many, but 2 months ago I had no MAC eyeshadows at all. The blue on it freshwater, the highlighter color is Phloof!

The eyeliner is super easy to draw and stays on all day long! It is a black, but seems a bit metallic, not typical matte, flat black. I wonder how long it will last, for it was a bit pricey, but oh well!

I did some swatches in the store and after coming home they were still good as new! I looove the navy one! 

Ahh, got to work a lot this week, regular work and extra work and other appointments, ghghghghhh.... wish me luck and health! Also, today is mom's birthday! Yay! Happy birthday Mom!

Recent shopping. Shoes and more~

Ooooh!!! You wouldn't believe! Weather in Poland is so bad! It is already full on autumn here, but not the "golden leaves and romantic sunsets" kind of autumn, it is the "is you go out without an umbrella, you are asking for it!", raining every day and sooo gray and gloomy and  really really cold! (below 15c degrees!) :o

I must say I like rainy weather, well, I like practically any kind of weather, so I quite enjoy it... But then again I have  acharacter that does not stress over things  I have no control over, like weather, traffic, etc. I just am not capable of caring enought to get mad over it, I just take what's on that day and roll with it. ;)) 

Other people seem to be quite mad at the weather though! LOL

Anyway! To live through those cold days, I had to go shopping! XD 

I bought: loose clack gold from H&M, and a cute scarf, a knee-length khaki trench coat from PROMOD and 2 pairs of shoes! Cutie biker style bootie and beige/brown pumps. I had to imidiately take the pumps to a shoe fixing store though, the heel tops were already falling off... (=_='') 

Anyways, they are comfortable and cute!

I alos did some other shopping - after a long break, I ordered some japanese magazines with the help of my best sempai! :) This time he helped me purchase those magazines:

BLENDA september 2010!

I really really like BLENDA style, defintitely a favourite magazine. I am ane after all, Reiko's outfits are really pretty and inspiring! (≧∇≦*)(*≧∇≦)pキャー Also makes me want to wear red lipstick everyday! And red nails! 

Next, JELLY october 2010! Ah, I love love love this cover!!! Not only is it super cute already with pink*gray color scheme, it also has Miliyah!!! (≧∇≦*)(*≧∇≦)pキャー Sooo excited to get this!!! You know, there are always online scans, but for me, who likes to read all the small info and additional instructions under photos, having the real magazine in my hands is bliss :) I soend a couple hours on bed brownsing my magazines when they arrive (lol).

Hohoho~ My sempai asked if I am ordering some ero-books after seing the cover of this one online.... xD Oh well, Happie Nuts always delivers strong and sexy style and their makeup and hair and Sayoko and Saki Namba and Hiromi are just the best! :) And there is a cool present! A folded mirror with a skull motif, how cool! 。('-'。)(。'-')。ワクワク Oh, there is preview here at the wonderful Madeleine's blog! :)

And last but not least:

EMODA mook, aka catalog and styling book and "how to become more Ena" advice section?! (*￣∇￣*)エヘヘ *grabby hands* ALSO! It comes with 3 presents!!! A makeup poach, gel eyeliner and an eyeliner brush!!! Oh my, how luxurious!!! :D Anyway, cannot wait for my new babies to arrive~

Are you ordering some magazines lately? What are your favourites??? 

Take care and I hope autumn where you live is prettier than here :D

Skincare routine after IZOTEK (same as accutane) and red nail polish

Hello my wonderful blogosphere-friends! :)

As most of you know, I recently finished IZOTEK treatment for acne. IZOTEK is a medicine identic to Accutane, which helps acne and dries up skin and the whole body and is a rather hard and long treatment, but the results are really something. After my treatment, so far I have no acne. But my skin did go back to normal a bit - on Izotek it was so dry it drove me mad! Now it sometimes even gets a tiny bit oily on the tip of my nose :D (hahah, it actually makes me happy to have normal skin back again lol)

Anyway, I had to change my skincare routine a little bit and not it looks like this (that's most of the things I use):

I went back to using La Roche-Posay's EFFACLAR face wash/cleanser. It is good for oily AND sensitive skin ,contains no parabens and is great, makes a fine soft foam and even removes makeup (also waterproof eye makeup, amazing). And for daytime moisturizer, I switched to EFFACLAR M, moisturising and mattyfing cream, also from La Roche-Posay. And when I bought 2 LRP items I got thermal water as a free gift, yay! LRP is a pharmacy-brand, so look for it there. ^^* I really recommend this face wash!

I recently bought Cleanique claryfing lotion in #1 (the weakest one), but still I am not sure if I should use it.... I hope it doesn't dry my skin out too bad D:

After washing my face I use HadaLabo Gokujun toner and milk (recently I only use the milk at night). I mix the toner with a drop of pure 1% hyaluronic acid, I bought it in a "make your own cream" store. After toner and milk I use the EFFACLAR M moisturiser for day. And for night I don't care if I'm shiny, I use Missha cream or WELEDA Skin Food cream (love-hate relationship!!) or just plain simple baby cream, this one:

Simple really is best, I love to use creams like this for face, hands and feet and elbows, lips... etc. So gentle and nice and no parabens and no bad ingriedients. :) So somedays I just put this on my face after other skincare. :) Or just apply a thick layer as a mask before sleep - it never breaks me out nor does it make my skin moer shiny. Really, try baby creams! Cheap and good. :)

*****************************

 Other news, a better photo of my Cookie monster and Elmo brooches and bracelet! I bought it in this cute store called Bubu! :D

Also, I felt I needed a change in my life and to start this tiny-revolution, got a cherry red nail polish, Feel my Karma from OPI. I looooove this color! I also got Sally Hansen nail growth contitioneer, which works really great as a treatment/base/top coat for me! Try it, me and my sister have been using it for years, it keeps the color on my nails for days.

almost wine red! xD

Also got 2 new pairs of shoes and a trench coat from PROMOD. After a hard week, I had a "self love sunday", like the ones Hana suggestst. Relaxing, taking care of my body and soul and feel-good, really worth spending some time on yourself and straightening all things in your head.
I hope you all have a wonderful week! <3
Thank you for reading! :D

Some recent coordinates and sorry for the hiatus!

Hello everybody!!

Sorry for the terribly long hiatus in blogging!!! The reality is.... I have no internet in my new apartament and yet I find it somehow relaxing, I spend less time on the internet, my eyes are happier, I spend more time outside with friends... but my blog is so lonely, poor thing! Thank you for not un-following me! Also work has been pretty busy, so I don't have time to write the accasional "written from work" entry neither. (Now I'm almost into after hours so I can stay and write.)

Generally life is very good. I have found a super cute small apartament just for me and it's close to my work place and so cozy~ I got my favourite Missha Perfect Cover BB cream from a friend coming back from Korea, color #21, perfect for me, it's the most natural looking bb cream I know! Also bought L'Oreal Telescopic mascara, which is a pretty good drugstore brand mascara - but not as good as my Helena Rubinstein mascara...

The only thing I was dedicated to was jsut taking some snapshots of my outfits, so I will share that with you. Most of them are work outfits too. My office is rather lax in the dresscode departament, so depending on my mood I dress more or less office like. ;D Take a look!

Can you tell this was a day off?? xD


Lip Service corset print t-shirt!


I really like the knee-lenght ZARA skirt!


Just  a casual look:


Today:


And something I bought recently:

Handmade Cookie Monster bracelet!! XD

Sooooo.... I will try to post more often, I will probably get internet from September anyway. Everything is going great, but one thing, unrequittted lust is a pain!! (;0;)
