Book review - Demi Moore: Inside out

I read this book over a year ago and somehow completely forgot about it. This is a shame because it is quite good celebrity biography.

I was never a huge fan of Demi Moore, I mean I knew who she was when I saw her on-screen and I also knew who was she married with. But that was about it, I didn’t know her background.

Each time she appeared on a film I would admire her beauty, her figure, and usually long, glossy black hair. I remember seeing her appearing in Charlie’s angles II, I simply thought she is stunning for her age (I think I was fifteen at that time). 

Her life was never easy. She had a difficult childhood, her mother and stepfather were constantly fighting and they moved a lot. Consequently, she was often a new girl at school that was far from being easy, but somehow, she found herself again through acting. Later she was struggling with an unhealthy lifestyle, but luckily at some point that was behind her.

I was surprised at how low her self-esteem was and how much she hated her body and strived to perfection. 

A new fact for me was also that she became the highest-paid actress for her role in G. I. Jane in 1997.

I did not know she was married before she met Bruce Willis (he was not the perfect husband either).

Anyway, her style of writing is fluent, interesting, and never boring. Her story is full of emotions, personal struggles, and challenges. There’s a feeling she occasionally feels sorry for herself, but who would blame her.

According to her Instagram account, she looks much happier now and more content with her life. I am happy for her that she managed to retain a great relationship with her daughters and kept them close.

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...

Artdeco: Crystal and Amazing effect mascaras

Artdeco become my favorite ˝drugstore˝ brand. They have high quality products with good ingredients and their production in based in Germany. I think I got rid of all ˝Made in China˝ makeup and decided to avoid some brands in big circle. Quality over quantity – that is my motto for this year. I want to reduce the number of my makeup products and be a selective and not impulsive buyer. Anyway let me show you two of my recent purchases (there were quite a few) from Artdeco.  Crystal mascara&liner ˝Onyx Glamour˝ First I saw Crystal lash mascara top coat from Estee Lauder and got excited as kid, but that one is expensive and always sold out. Then I saw that Artdeco has something similar and could be a great and cheaper (half that price) dupe for Estee, but sadly I was wrong. This is transparent mascara/liner with black and silver shimmer. You could use it alone or as top coat over your favorite mascara to add some sparkle. The product looks great on lashes;...

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...
