My beauty vanity!

I have always dreamed of a beauty corner since I was very young. I used to fantasize of my own vanity where I kept all my beauty supplies, a place I would escape when I didn't want to be in the real world. I tried to create this corner in every space possible in my bedrooms or bathrooms until last year, when I finally found this beautiful white vintage vanity. I had to get it. It was perfect.
Three mirrors, cute drawers and a stool. I sit there and I feel beautiful instantly. I know it sound silly and ridiculous, like a little girl...but I do feel like that.

I got the vanity as a birthday gift last year, but I finally decorated and organized it the way I want so I thought I might share it with you in case you are looking for ideas to decorate your own beauty vanity.

1. Flowers - No vanity can be completed without a pretty vase with flowers. I actually got the vase from Goodwill and the flower from JoAnn's. You can also use fresh flowers, I do it from time to time and it makes the magic more real! :)


2. Small mirror - It may seem like this vanity has plenty of mirrors, but I wanted to add this small one to help me with details. The big mirror is a little bit too far when it comes to checking on details while applying makeup. I got it from Marshall's and it has a magnifying mirror on the back.



3. Acrylic organizers - These are a must. They make everything look clean and in its own place. There are many designs out there, you can find them online on in store. I got this trio set from Home Goods and it fits perfectly with everything else. I use the biggest ones to store single eye shadows or sample size goodies, the rounded one for lip liners, eyeliners, mascaras and brow pencils. On the third one I keep foundations, primers, and the most used lipsticks.



Once they are full with products I place them in front of the mirror in the middle of the desk. The right corner has the flowers and the small mirror, and the left corner has a cute jewelry box. I bought the jewelry box at Goodwill's and painted it white myself. It fits perfectly with the color and vintage theme of the vanity.





4- Organize the way you like - I keep all my brushes in the middle drawer of the vanity. The other drawers are filled with the few makeup products I owned. The top left drawer has palettes, blushes and bronzers; the top right one has eye pencils, eyeliners, lashes, extra mascaras and other eye products. Bottom left one has sample products or new ones I need to try; and the bottom right drawer has lip related products.

5. Decor more - You can fill the picture with more color by adding little cute products. I have displayed my night cream, parfumes, a pink clutch, cute boxes ect. Here are a few shots to give you a fuller picture of the vanity.




I hope I was useful in some way. Let me know what you think and share your suggestions with me. Have a great week friends.

Love,
Marjana

Blue Spring Camping!

It is finally camping season and we are planning on making the most out of it. We started by going to Blue Springs near Orlando, FL. It was an amazing place and we had a great time. It was just the two of us, away from the noise, relaxing...
We arrived at the camping area around 3 p.m., set up the tent and headed to the park.
  


The park was just beautiful. I love nature, the green trees, blue skies and fresh air. It is calming for the soul and pleasure for the eyes. 




I was expecting to see Manatees but there were none at this time. Anyways I found a very special one and I couldn't help but take a picture with it. We had matching outfits after all :P (kinda)



The next day we went kayaking at the river. The water was calm and clear like a mirror. We met a few couples who were very nice to share with us information about the nice gators hanging with us. YES! Alligators were actually swimming around us, normally, not even caring we were there! 
Fun, huh?
Anyways, enjoy the pictures of this amazing nature :)















Thank you for visiting friends. I hope you liked the pics and visit Blue Spring when you get a chance!
I will see you soon,
Love, Marjana :)

Ipsy Glam Bag - April 2015

Hey loves! Happy Sunday. Today I am sharing with you the products I received on my Ipsy Glam Bag. The theme for this month is Beautifully Bohemian. I love the bag and I am actually using it to carry my everyday makeup. Here is what I think about them...


Hikari Cosmetics Blush - in the shade Tango. OMG! This blush is gorgeous, the color is just what you need for summer. It is so easy to blend and it looks fresh and natural on the cheeks. You need to try it and you can find it here for $15.00


LATHER ultra light face lotion - I have to admit I am not a big fan of day moisturizers but I like this one. It is lightweight, absorbs quickly in my skin and it feels nice. 


KCO Colors by Beauty Brands Cream Lipstick - in the shade Natural Born Beauty. This is one of my favorite colors for everyday use. The formula is creamy, soft and  it applies so easy on the lips. It also feels amazing. 


Jor'el Parker Femina - I don't really have a lot to say about a parfume, I am terrible at describing scents but from the description on the website I can tell you it contains lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, musk and other products that make it very fresh and light. The full size costs $55.00 and you can find it here.

theBalm Cosmetics NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single - I have never seen such cute packaging for an eyeshadow. I got the shade Flirty, a beautiful violet color with gold shimmering. It isn't the most pigmented eye shadow but if you wet a little bit it, it is perfect. You can find this shade on the complete palette for $36.00


These are my goodies for this month. Get your own Ipsy Glam Bag for just $10.00 to receive products like this every month :)

Thank you for visiting my blog friends :)
See you soon,

Wedding Ready!

Hey Loves! Happy Tuesday!
This past Friday I went to a wedding and I was so excited for many reasons. Fist, it was my fist american wedding. And second, it was a homosexual wedding, one I have been really wanting to attend for so long. The two lucky ladies who were getting married are actually regular costumers at the place I am working. They are the nicest people I have met, so sweet and kind and I love them very much. We have been friends for a while now, chatting every time they come in and they invited me and my friend to their wedding. Finally, homosexual marriage is legal in Florida and I am so happy they were able to celebrate their long relationship.

The ceremony took place at a beautiful park and everyone was dressed casual. I decided to wear this lace green dress from Forever 21, my hat from Target and a pair of flats from Steve Madden. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm, and the view by the river was stunning. 





This little girl, in the white dress, is Emma - Helene's granddaughter. I wouldn't be lying if I said SHE was the center of attention! I mean...who can resist that sweet face and gorgeous smile? Adorable!
 I almost cried when this happened. I know how much it meant for both of them and I am beyond happy...


Congratulation Helene and Schuyler! Have a wonderful life together filled with happiness, joy and lots of Love!
