Holographic makeup trend

I'm a huge fan of everything sparkling. When I see shiny things, I’m like a kid in a candy store. They are like magnet to my eyes. Sparkling things in makeup can be scary and over the top. I mean they look gorgeous, but can be wearable? Truly wearable for daily use? Yes they can!

Holographic trend has been strongly present in fashion and beauty industry for some time now. I lately spot it mostly on accessories and all ranges of makeup. It’s not just for teenage girls anymore, we also see it in makeup for ˝grown up’s˝.


I recently bought two holographic makeup items. First one was truly love at first sight; I bought it immediately when I saw it. My dreams finally came true, they made lavender highlighter! This is actually highlighting duo from Makeup factory named ˝Holographic illusion powder˝ and was part of holiday collection presented back in December. It might be made for holidays, but also for soft spring looks. 




It contains violet (lilac dimension) and pink (dazzling pink) shades. I like to wear it on my eyes with matte natural eyeshadows, or on cheeks for a touch of sparkle and color. These two are real and strong highlighters, so you need to be careful with application. They may look boring in the pan, but under different lightening became very much alive. I like both shades, but lavender one is my favorite. They are very smooth, without chunky glitter and easy to blend.


The second item it lip gloss and comes from Artdeco. OFF TOPIC: Did you know that Makeup factory is ˝little˝ sister brand from Artdeco? This was also a part of holiday/new year collection. I was scared of if, and made some research on the web before purchasing. Pictures of swatches were so confusing, I wasn’t sure if I could wear this. When it comes to colors, I’m quite shy person, well except with nail polishes. Anyway I decided to buy it. This shade is in some kind of nude, slightly orange, clear gloss with holographic glitter. 




So I bought ˝Holo lip gloss˝ number 6 called ˝Glittery dream˝. I found this to me the most ˝natural˝, but still very shiny looking. It is actually the only lip gloss I own, because I’m not a fan of shiny lips. I still don’t know why I like this so much and I always feel slightly uncomfortable when I leave the house wearing it, but then I forget what’s on me anyway… It instantly brightens your face, especially now during winter, when we can look a bit dull and colorless. I found it to be quite sticky which bothers me, but is very comfortable and moisturizing on lips. I was pleasantly surprised how long lasting it is. You could easily pull this off as an everyday gloss as long as you keep other makeup on minimum and in natural shades. This gloss is fun, but not over the top.

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...

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...

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...
