Artdeco Camouflage Cream 03 - Iced Coffee

It’s official; I'm the worst at picking up a corrector for blemishes. Last week I had a huge, I mean a huge zit on my forehead, just terrible. And because I rarely have this kind of breakouts, I don’t own a proper makeup to cover it. I only use brightener/concelear to lightly cover my under eye area and that’s of course not suitable for covering imperfections on the rest parts of my face. It’s too light and bright and it just makes them more noticeable. So last Saturday I went to an urgent hunt for a thick corrector to cover the ˝big joy˝ on my forehead. My first intention was to buy a camouflage cream from Artdeco, because it has brilliant reviews. But when I saw all that shades – I believe there were 10 of them to choose from, I get confused and went away to another counter. Big mistake was made because, I bought too light concelear palette. Now it’s a property of new owner, who hopefully enjoys using it.

The next day I made another desperate visit to the drugstore. This time I was determined to buy that camouflage cream from Artdeco and I (finally) successfully did. I choose almost perfect shade for me in number 03 – Iced Coffee



I must say that I’m impressed. It provides heavy coverage and is primarily made for covering scars, veins, tattoos… Soon it becomes your best friend. You need just a tiny amount of it. When it heats up a bit under your finger, it just blends into the skin beautifully. I apply it with a sponge applicator tip for eyeshadows, which provides very precise application. Then I settle it with my Sexy mama from The Balm, which became my favorite. Powder also corrects and hides minor difference of the color of camouflage, so that it becomes seamless on my skin.



The only down side it, that camouflage can be too thick for dry skin and under eye area. It can get into fine lines easily. Maybe you can manage this problem by putting a good moisturizer or even oil underneath. Camouflage cream is waterproof and very long lasting.

The packaging is typical for Artdeco products. Plastic box is made to be stored in the magnetic case. The idea of putting cream products in magnetic cases seems a bit gross to me, because all the impurities and dust will collect on the product if it’s not sealed properly. I just kept the original packaging. It’s not the most practical, but works for me.

Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No? Let’s start with something puffy and blue-  Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag . This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette  – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anywa...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses  was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself.  This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram)       Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines.  I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones.   She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...
