I am a day late with my Day 14 nails, but I just didn´t have time to post it earlier. I actually did this design couple of weeks ago, but wasn´t able to post it yesterday.

I have had M.A.C Dynamic Duo 2 Eyeshadow Duo since the beginning of August. You have probably seen it in use HERE and HERE .  This eyeshadow duo contains two shades: matte cobalt blue and silvery gray. I love the blue from this duo. It is so intense and bright. The quality if these eye shadows is in my opinion great. They are well pigmented and easily buildable and blendable. Swatches are taken in shade, sunlight and with flash. First swatch is on bare skin and the second is over a MUA Professional Eyeshadow Primer. 

Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge: week 3 and the this time the theme was Delicate and Elegant: Adorn yourself with a lovely pattern, color or technique.  For this mani I used two coats of e.l.f. Coral and then draw some flower like pattern on my nails with a nail art brush. As most of you know I am not very good at drawing and so the flowers doesn´t look that good :P Products used: - China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat - e.l.f. Coral - OPI Alpine Snow - dotting tool from Born Pretty Store and nail art brush from eBay - Poshe topcoat

So gradient nails for today. I wanted something different and so I used yellow and two red nail polishes.

Today´ s post is written by Sophie Banat.    Most people look to the fashion runways for the latest styles, but this year make-up is trending in a big way and it’s time for us to pay attention. You’re in for a treat this autumn and winter as some of the most beautiful looks are vogue. Traditionally a style for the summer, colour is now fashionable this season, so get ready to don a brave palette and stand out from the crowd.   A Natural Glow Summer styles have leaked into this season. Even with the cold weather, it’s time to create that sun-kissed look with luminous shades of bronzer and fresh-from-outside light peaches. If you’re shy when it comes to a shimmery bronzer, go for a matte highlighter for your cheeks. This trend looks fantastic with natural eyes and lips and creates that healthy, beautiful, sporty appearance that has caught on like wildfire after this year’s Olympics.   Classic Red Possibly the most classic look when it comes to make-up is the striking, red lips.

I ordered BeeCeuticals Organics The Royal Treatment Facial Cream from iHerb.com in the end of June when they had discount on some BeeCeuticals products. I used this cream for about 1,5 months as a night cream and I liked it.   I had actually never heard about the company or about its products, but I decided to give it a try. When I started writing this review I did some Google search and found out that the company has closed down. Anyway if you are interested in some of their products then there is still some available on iHerb.com and on some other shopping sites.   Information about the facial cream from the packaging:   Ingredients: The Royal Treatment Facial Cream comes in a 1fl.oz. / 30ml plastic bottle with a pump. The pump makes this product easy to use. 2-3 pumps was enough for my face and neck.  The product is white and creamy. At first I wasn´t very fond of its scent. No it is not bad, but it is .... well...strange and unique ( I know I suck at describing...

I am a day late with this post, but I just didn´t have time to post it yesterday. Anyway for the Day 8 we had to do metallic nails.

I decided to participate in House of Fraser £200 Giftcard Blogger Style Competition. It actually ends today and so if you want to participate, too then you gotta be quick. If want to know more about the challenge check out this post on House of Fraser blog.   So here is the my look. I wanted to create simple everyday look that is comfy :P I love leather jackets for Fall season and so the first item I chose for this look was this black leather biker jacket. I added black skinny jeans and of course boots. These studded boots are perfect for everyday wear. I love black&color combo and so when I saw this red&black color block top I just had to add it to the outfit. Here in Estonia weather might be chilly sometimes and so a stylish pair of gloves is always a must-have in my opinion. And a of course a scarf. I also need a bag where to keep my wallet, mobile phone, keys etc and so this dark red across body bag is perfect for that. An outfit wouldn´t be an outfit without some jewe...

The theme for week 2 nail art is: Gimme That Bling - Diamonds are a girls best friend, so put some sparkle on those nails.  At first I wanted to use rhinestones for this mani, but since I really had no good idea about the design then I decided to take a easy way out and use 2 sparkly nail polishes from China Glaze.  I first applied two coats of China Glaze Ray-Diant and then sponged China Glaze Liquid Crystal on the tips of my nails to make it look gradient.  Products used: - China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat - China Glaze Ray-Diant - China Glaze Liquid Crystal - Poshe Topcoat
