I want a haircut, help!

So.. It's been a while since I got my hair cut. Yep a while. And I've been longing for a hair cut.. for a month I think. I'm dreaming about something quite shorter, cute in an asian style. I leanred that I have a round face so short (except super pixie short cut) hair cut won't work for me..

I had in mind something like this: (on the last one I like her bangs)

I actually want it to look cute, and fresh. I'm really tired of my ol' long hair. My hair is so long that if I iron it, It gets in the medium part of my breasts. Hm. Any ideas girls? Can a caucasian girl actually look ok with asian hairstyles? Plus I have wavy hair naturally, which may be a problem? And it's thin but I've got LOTS of hair on my head, so yeah. Help me please,with cherry on top?

EOTD: Sea

I wanted to use some blue shades, but the camera didn't manage to capture the colors in all their beauty. I still have to learn how to take selfca pictures. And yes, on one eye I have not double but triple eyelid! Which makes my make up pictures look.. weird in some cases. But it doesn't stop me from applying make up ;).

Review: Revlon Runway Collection Fake Nails in Sequins

Hello, ladies! It's time to introduce you to Revlon Runway Collection fake nails! I decided to do the review in three parts. Why three? Well because my first one will be as a complete newbie, and the other two will be 'more advanced' if you know what I mean.. As I said, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to fake nails. I've tried them a couple of times, but I always ended taking them off the same hour, because they hurt too much to wear. Oh, at the time I was still biting my nails, and I wasn't used to long nails, but probably the pain was there because I've glued the nail on my skin, haha! The truth is, that I'm clumsy, so everything that includes glue is a big no-no for me. Buuuut! I decided that these nails were definitely something worth trying, and maybe something that's worth gluing your fingers together! Since my nails were layering I decided to shorten them, clean them, buff them a bit and use the fake nails. In the box, there are 24 nails, a small buffer, an orange stick and this huge glue. Yes huge, just look at the generous amount of glue they give you!

 

  The opened box:

I must say that I had no problem in finding the right fit for me. I guess I must be in the average group of nails. Tho I picked the thumbnails that were too wide for me. I had to take them off and apply another pair of them. 

 This is how I lined them so I wouldn't miss match them:

 

  Uhm, the glue is strong. It's like super glue, and by that I mean it dries instantly. I managed to glue my fingers together a couple of times, plus I glued my finger on the nail design and so on. But on the last nail I had no more problems, I guess practice does wonders? On the box, it says to press the glued nail onto the natural nail for 5 seconds and then to use the orange stick to remove the excess glue. Honestly, I have no idea what they mean by that? When I had excess glue around my nails (because I applied glue on my nail AND on the fake nail - a big no-no!) I managed to glue my fingers to it. I pressed onto the nails for 30 seconds, but it wasn't a firm press so I got air bubbles. But they weren't all that noticeable as you will see.

Result:

 

  Another angle:

 

  Pretty no? I buffed the ends because I don't like the square shape, I could hurt myself with those as clumsy as I am! Oh, I'd almost forgot! The nails have written numbers on the other side of them (the side you can't see normally). That's really helpful but it was the only thing that made my nails look fake. Yap! If anyone would look at my nails, they'd see those small squares staring at them. Eh. How long did they last on me? Well 6 days, but I suppose they could last for at least three more. I had air bubbles under the nails, so they were weaker as they would be without them. So it happened that I lost my thumbs the first day (melted them in acetone and applied the right size of them), then the second day I managed to lost one thumb because I bumped really hard with my hand into a wall. Auch! The fourth day I lost another nail because I think I wanted to scratch something off. So ladies, now you know that you should be gentle with these nails! I mean you can do almost anything with them, just don't be harsh (as I was). I even got into a hot tub with them, stayed there for an hour and they were as good as new! Let's move to the cons and pros. 

  Pros: 

+ They are super pretty, the designs are exquisite. 

+ Really comfortable, you can't even tell you are wearing fake nails!

+ They look natural.

+ You get 24 nails in a box and lots of glue to play with. 

+ The price is superb compared to salons!

+ They are long lasting. 

+ It only requires a small amount of time, compared to a regular manicure.

+ They make my cuticles look perfect! 

  Cons: 

- I didn't like the fact that I got so much dirt under my nails and it got stuck between my natural nail and the fake nail (not under the fake nail), it was hard to remove! 

- You have to be careful because these are NOT your natural nails! 

- They are not available everywhere, like in my country. 

  Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 5/ 5 

 I took them off with my teeth. Yes, with my teeth. I was bored in the car and the glue weakened a bit because I was a bit harsh on them. So I decided to try and take them off with my teeth. They went off quite nicely (remember it was day 6, after hot tubs and so on), but I still had to remove the remains of the glue with pure acetone. Girls, don't do that. Just let them melt in the acetone. Why? Well, the next day my nails really hurt. And when I say really hurt, I mean that the pain was really strong and it hurt just at the touch of anything. So do as the instructions say!

Overall:

I love them! I never thought that fake nails could be so pretty, comfortable and affordable! If I had to go somewhere and wanted to have my nails groomed, I'd absolutely use them! They have some gorgeous patterns, and my dear loved them (he's not really into nail polishes but he loves these!). They are easy to put on, easy to maintain and make my cuticles look perfect! Stay tuned for the next two reviews, I think it will be quite interesting as now I think I have some experience with fake nails ;).

*These products were sent to me by the company or their PR.

A trip to Maribor! Beware long post ;)

Sooo... as promised, here is my post about the trip to MB. It was.. interesting lol. For a little tease first some pictures of MB's park. Yess! Those were taken in Spring, so yah.. This time we didn't have time even for breathe lol. I didn't believe, but there are LOTS of squirrels! HAhaa, so cute! The park has three small lakes, so there are lots of turtles, koi fish and so on.. Now to more recent things.. So what did we do there? Nothing, nothing! I mean we had plans, like... enough of them, but we didn't do a thing! Why? Well because we had to go visit that friend, then to a drink with another and like this every day. We didn't even manage to go to the cinema! Lol. But we saw Goričko, which was well.. boring. I expected more to be honest. It was just so similar to the plants we have here, the fields.. well it was too similar! Someone asked me what make up did I bring with me, so here it is: Deborah's palette. I don't use it much because it doesn't have the colors I'd normally use lol.. But it's good for a simple make up look. Brushes: Normally I use lots of brushes, but at home.. I used only two! The blush brush and the big crease one.. I don't know why I took with me the others since I didn't use them at all. I actually wore little make up (yes I got lazy!). Make up part 2: My BB cream, foundation (I'm running out!), no name palette, eyebrows pencil, black pencil, mascara, blusher/highlighter. One of the days we had some spare time and we decided to go to the shopping center. I was looking for the brows razors, because I needed to trim my eyebrows. I couldn't find those anywhere here, but they had them in that mall! Woo! So cool, and you can 'fix' your eyebrows in matter of seconds and it's not painful too! Tho for some reason, two of them cost 3.30€ o.O Uh well. Not a big deal, but I thought they have the same price as normal razors. I bought.. lots of phone charms. Yes lots. And a ring and two necklaces. Well those were a gift from my dear, tho I picked them! They are super adorable but damn pricey! I mean.. uhm 6€ for one phone charm? o.O Weird. But still, super cute! I got myself two pair of pants because well I put on weight x.x One are jeans (two sizes bigger, need to put them in the washing machine) and a black fancy pants that will be 'in' this autumn.. Of course I had to check the shoes store too.. I love shoes, I adore them and I want more of them! I tried some super hot sandals with the highest heel ever! They looked nice on me, but they had some mistake so I decided to not to buy them. But instead my dear asked me to try on these shoes and for some reason they looked good too, and I got them in the end :). They have a scull and some flowers on the heel part xD It's so funny because they look kind of classy, no? (excuse the mess in the BG) That's everything I bought ya... nothing more no no... (Except a hair mask, three nail polishes.... ) So, we went around 'the world', or actually just around the places near.. I wanted to go to Budapest, but we'll go next time and hopefully to Gradz too. I want to see the world! Ah, one day we went to visit a friend of us, who is still Miss Slovenia.. This is the third year and it's really really weird. But okay... xD Tadeja & me: We drank from the moment we get to her house to the moment we left to go home (we were in different places too lol). One of the things we drank: That's terrible! We've been drinking alcho for like what.. three days?! I don't usually drink it, but sometimes it's a good thing to do, lol. But I guess I got so tolerant in those three days. We ate lots of junk food too. I can't see McDonald's anymore, ew! I loved that stuff a year ago, but now... no thank you. It's not because I ate too much of it, but it's just that the stuff lost its taste. EW. Ew. and EW again! But to tell the good side.. we made sushi! It was delicious and now I want some more! I think I'm obsessed with sushi. Tho the fun thing is, that I disliked sushi when I first tried it... So what was my lil 'vacation' like? It was full of junk food, alcho, meetings with people, traveling around and well sleep. I've slept a lot there so now I'm full of energy xD! I can't wait for Autumn to come.. it's still so hot here, but it gets dark quicker but yah.. I didn't manage to windsurf this year, which angers me a LOT, but ooookay.. eh. Have fun girls ;) xoxo, Tamara

Pebble.com

I was recently introduced to the site Pebble.com and I wanted to share this new find with you all! I think that the easiest way to introduce you this interesting site is, to guide you through the find & buy process. 1. You type in what you're searching for (it doesn't have to be specific, the brand name could do too). I was searching for the wacom bamboo fun tablet: If there are any questions posted (and answers) you see those too. If there are none you can write them down yourself! Q&A: After the Q&A part, there is a list of the stores that holds the item and the price: 2. If you like the price and the store, you just click on the store name and olee - a new tab opens! There you can see the item in all its beauty and you can even buy it off the site. So the site is pretty simple. If you want to post Q&A, you have to register, if not no. But in any case you can see the questions and answers, so it's not a must. I like it because you have it all on one site. Questions, answers and lots of different stores with different prices! So you can actually save up when buying online! I think it's pretty useful site, because this way buyers can get all the information on one site. And there's never too much information about the specific item we're looking for, no? ;)

Away!

Hello lovely readers! I want to thank all of you for reading my blog posts! ^^ I'm really grateful for your support too! Today I'm heading to Maribor (about 200+ km from here) to stay there for a couple of days. I thought we'll stay there just for the weekend, but I got the info that it will be until Wednesday. Which is pretty cool, but now I have to bring more make up with me and the cam! I want to do some looks to share with you all! That's the first thing. The second thing is a pretty helpful google application. It's called Google Analytics, which helps you a lot. You can see how many page views have per day, from where they are (part of the world), and so on. It's a pretty helpful feature! You can 'install' it in any website, blog and so on. All you have to do is copy the custom code you get into the html part of the blog/website. The only negative side is that after installation it takes up 24 hours to start tracking the page views and analyzing thing. And after that works it takes 12 hours each time for an update. That's because it has LOTS of things to analyze. You can also have more than one website added, cool! I've installed it a couple of days before (three?), and here is where my followers come from :) Thank you! ^^ The third thing is.. My mouse is dying on me. I don't know, is it my pc or what? It freezes and the cursor disappears for a couple of seconds (okay now it's MINUTES!!) and I can't do a thing. It's honestly driving me crazy. It makes me want to throw it into the wall, which of course I won't do. I only have it for a year.. It's Logitech MX™400 Performance Laser Mouse. It was quite expensive (about 40€ I think) and I've only had it for a year. WTF?! The sad thing is, that I can't find the recipient.. Omg :(. I'd like to have the Logitech TrackMan Wheel mouse. I've had it for a while but then my bro took it back.. That was the best mouse ever - for games! Plus I got used to it in a matter or hours! Ah.. I saw a cute pink Logitech mouse, but it looked just so.. uncomfy. Blah. Which mouses do you have ladies? I'll see you soon, hopefully with new updates! ^^ xoxo, Tamara

EOTD: Purpled Bronze

Hello everyone!

 

Today I played around with some make up. I decided it was time to use the Illamasqua highlighter as an eyeshadow and add some purple. I had no idea if it would look nice, but I decided to give it a go. It came out pretty interesting, but slacking a golden cream eyeshadow over it, wasn't a good idea! The bad thing (or good) is that with this little thing as a base, you have to work quickly. Because when it dries out.. well it doesn't budge. Why? Well I wanted to create this look and then blend everything to make it more wearable (after taking the photos) but 5 minutes later it didn't want to blend. Nope. It just wanted to go off or stay there. So I suppose it would stay on the eye/face for a whole night and more!

I've used:

1. CS eyelid primer

1. Illamasqua highlighter in Glimmer as a base eyeshadow

1. Nivea golden cream eyeshadow (a bit in the center of the eye -bad idea.. it didn't want to stick!)

1. CS purple eyeshadow Island Orchid (I got a sample in a bag)

1. Essence liquid eyeliner

1. L'oreal Collagen Mascara

1. Deborah mini mascara on lower lashes

So, how do you like it? 

Edit: I've been asked to write what brushed I use. Hahaa, it's hard to admit but I don't have any brand brushes except for Isadora (foundation brush, 2x crease brush, eyeliner brush ), then I have 3 same blush brushes by Essence (they were in 50's fever collection and are of great quality) and CS (pink kabuki),all the other brushes are from Muller (they are really cheap, work perfectly and the hair doesn't fall out!). I would actually love to have some pro brushes, but untill MAC gets here it'll be hard :). I'm still planning to visit Sephora in Italy, so maybe I'll get some thin brushes over there too!

Still testing..

But expect a review in a couple of weeks because I want to try out at least two pairs before I write a review.. :)

What am I talking about?

I was sent 6 boxes of Revlon's Runway Collection Fake Nails to try out and write a review about them... I know that I'm probably one of the last bloggers to write it and that the blogger world is flooded with those.. But still one more opinion isn't a bad thing, no?

The nails:

So for now they're on a test run.. I want to see if they are really that resistant!

Review: EpiStick Facial Hair Remover

Hello, ladies! 

 

I know that whenever you check eBay you wonder about those cheap and interesting products. Like the Epstick! (all the images are clickable!) 

In all its beauty:

 

I ordered it on Ebay for only 1.99$ with free shipping. Cool, no? Even if it wouldn't work, I think it wouldn't be a waste. 

It's a fun little device. Actually, it looks pretty interesting, you may wonder 'a torture device'?

I had no idea on how to use it, but the master Youtube told me how to do that.   After that everything went super smooth on. It's quite easy to use and that's its only function so. yah.. I wanted to try it out on that little hair I have on my face. Right next to my ears. They're super tiny and light, but I know they are there. It was easy to use, but it hurt. Not like 'omg it hurts' but more like an irritating hurt. A pain that you want it to end, because it's just irritating. I get that kind of pain with epilators. But after the use, I feel super happy because I don't have to bother with hair for a month!

Pros:

+ Super cheap! 

+ An interesting product that actually pulls hair out! 

+ Quick to use! 

+Great way to remove facial hair. 

Cons: 

- It's only for the facial hair.

- Painful. 

Trapped hair:

 

Those are only a few hairs, but that's because I was using this little thing since yesterday when I get bored.. and now only a few hairs are left on my face! YAY for it! 

Overall: 

It's quite a fun product because you have to twist those little handles for it to work. And it does remove quite quickly the hair. Tho for those of you who haven't experienced the 'beauty' of removing facial hair (eyebrows etc), then it may be surprisingly painful... But still, for that price it's so worth it!

Review: Lunette Selene in size 1

Since so many of you asked me to do a review after I try it out, I decided to give it a go. Before my first use I throw it into boiling water for 3 minutes, so it would be ready for me to use it. To disinfect it. I was so enthusiastic to try it, that I did it on a 'no menstruation' day. Yap, you can do that. But you have to use water or lube. I didn't. Nope, I forget, I was too eager.



  So I tried to do the fold as it was shown on the pictures (in the instructions), it was the C fold. If you'd like to see how those folds look like, check this video! She's using the Lunette selene cup to show it too! What happened? I inserted it in, and it was a hard task. I hurt myself and I started to bleed, ouch! And it was annoying, the 'tail' kept poking me, it was itching, I could even feel it. That was a really unpleasant experience and it freaked me out. Yap. When my menstruation came, I was too afraid to use my Lunette. But the second day I decided to try it once more. I mean I HAD to learn how to do it right. So I read some forums about menstrual cups, to get me motivated. And it worked! I was too excited to try it out. Again! (I'm weird, aren't I?) I used some lubricant this time and it was just fine. But the little tail kept poking me again. So I decided to cut it off. Not fully but to leave like 1 cm of it. Otherwise it was pretty comfortable. I slept with it just to wake up in the morning and find the horror of emptying it. OMG! I was sleepy, and I couldn't pee because the cup was too high. So I had to take it out. And there it was, something was inside and it made me feel sick. It was terrifying even if it's natural lol. I emptied it and stopped there. 

But the next day I got my period.
What now?
 I promised you a review so I decided to use it. The same day I watched that video about folds and learned the Origami fold which works best for me. The same day I cut the little tail entirely off. Yep. And you know what? When it was gone, and I inserted the cup, I didn't feel it. It was so comfortable that I couldn't believe it! I thought that I'd have some problems with popping it open, but no. It worked perfectly, even for such a newbie as I am. It felt better than any tampon did or any pad. It was just wonderful! I used a day pad with it, to see if it would leak. 
And it didn't. Ever! Even if I thought I had my period pretty strong, I couldn't fill it only to the 1st line. No more. Wonderful! That means I only have to empty it 2x/day. Because you can keep it inside for 12 hours before emptying it. I wore it when I got out, and I was a little nervous. I knew it was there, and if I concentrated I could even feel it a little. But it was really comfortable. I think I got hooked on it. I will never use tampons again. They dry me out and feel uncomfortable and even when they feel comfy that's because I'm using the smallest one available on the market. And those fill up pretty quickly. I would suggest all the ladies out there to at least try it. I know that it's pretty expensive (mine was 32€), but if you calculate.. You can use it up to 10 years, and in three months it pays you off! How wonderful is that?

  Pros:
+ comfortable
+ pretty
+ easy to clean even for such a newbie as I am
+ easy to insert and even easier to take out
+ you can take it out every 12 hours (that's the max time)
+ It doesn't take much more time to insert and take out than a tampon

Cons:
- The fact that I could pee more if I didn't have the cup inserted. I couldn't empty my bladder till the end, but I couldn't even feel that I have to pee... Hmm no idea if that's good or bad xD. It wasn't a too bad thing because I've realized that only after I peed, washed my hands and took the cup out and then peed some more. 
- The little tail. It poked me, so I cut it off
- The price. But it does pay off in a couple of months!

Overall: 
Would I recommend it? Yes, absolutely! I love it, and I'll be using it during my periods. It's not messy at all (even if I just started using it, I never spilled blood or made a mess). It could be compared to tampons in term of messiness. So far I LOVE it!

  EDIT:
2nd month I said that I'll write an update when I'll use it for the 2nd time and so on. It's been almost two weeks since I've used it, but I still remember everything! YEAH! I wanted to skip my period (really unhealthy!), but then I remembered that I have to test out the menstrual cup. I really had no problems with it. I even used it without pads, and it was really easy. And clean. I also used it at work.. Cleaned it in the toilet. No problems at all. Just one small note. Before cleaning the cup in a public bathroom, stuff the toilet with toilet paper, just like if you'd go to poo ;P. Why? Well because all the blood is quite thick and it stayed in the tube (I'm not sure what it's called), and even after several flushes it didn't move. It stayed there. So I had to clean it. Eh. Other than that, my experience was really good. It didn't leak, even after loooong hours (12hours), I couldn't feel it, damnit I even forgot I was wearing it! But I hurt myself twice, when I was taking the cup out. I'm clumsy, I need to practice that part. The last day I was using pads, and I hated them the moment I stick them to my panties. Lunette will be my regular thing to use! I'll update it the next month too ;). One more thing. Before I use it for the first time in my period time, I boil it in regular water for 2-5 minutes.
  3rd month: Nothing special happend this month, just a little worry before I had to start using the menstrual cup! Why? Well I'm not sure, but I'm still not fully used to it, I mean when I am already using it, it's perfect, no leaking, no daily pads need, nothing of nothing! But before anything begins, I have to persuade myself into using it. Yes, because I'm one damn lazy bum! So far I had no problems with it!
  4th month: Now, I'm completely used of it. I wore it at night, I wore it in a hot tub, I wore it during sport,.. anything really. And it didn't leak, it was.. great! I emptied it twice/day, so it's completely fine for such a lazy ass as I am. The only time I used pads, was when I was using those vaginal tablets for 'ruined ph'. I got so used of it, that I don't think I could live without it anymore... Oh, and how do you know your period is over with it? When you cannot insert it anymore. That's correct. When you have to wet it with water to insert it again. Then it's over. I think this is it, for my Lunette review, because now I can finally call myself a menstrual cup user!

Review: GEO Nudy Blue

Today I got these babies in the mail. I was waiting for them for a while now (17 days to be exact), because they were at the customs. Bah! Last time they got to me in 10 days, which was just plain awesome! They come in little vials, which I find to be really cute (wanna cuddle them and keep them with me forever!)

 

I got them all with prescription (-3,75 because I don't see well):

 

I also wanted to share with you, how you see if your lenses are original from GEO. The ones that were ordered before April 2009, don't have the validate sticker on them, so there are other tricks to see if yours is a fake or not! So I've made this little tutorial, here:

After 6+ hours of soaking, I decided to try them on. They are pretty big, and I thought they were bigger than my others, but they are really not. They are just a lot lighter so you may end up with thinking they are bigger! xD I actually get that 'halo' effect but reversed.. o.O It means it's not where it SHOULD be (under part of the eye) but it's on the upper part, under the eyelid, blah! I wanted it to show up :(.

In the small case (one part):

 

They look pretty bright there.. but.. They AREN'T bright at all in real life, under the normal light!

 

OR under the sunlight:

OR in the inside light:

 

But they do show wonderfully under flash light. There they are totally bright and fantastic. But nothing like under natural light.

 

But still, I like them. They look pretty natural to me. :) Cam whoring (flashlight):

Enlargement: 9/10 even if they have the same diameter as the others (14.00) they are brighter and look larger! They make me look like a doll!
Color/Design: 8/10 They could blend more and be bluer (they're dark blueish and blend quite well into my green eyes, so they look blueish green but a tad darker), probably they could be more vibrant, I'd like that!
Comfort: 9/10 They are super comfortable and I forgot I'm wearing them.
Overall I like them. A lot. They aren't really noticeable (you have to look up really closely), and even my grandma didn't notice I was wearing circle lenses! And trust me, she's the person who notices everything!

Packages in the mail... !

 

  Guess what's in there?! ;))

 

I'm not telling you anything for now.. :P Just that.. watch out for my review on those lenses and threading thing...
