Halloween Makeup Idea - Despicable me!


I have always loved the Minions from "Despicable Me" and I decided to create a Halloween look inspired by them. It is honestly the easiest and fastest look you can come up with and it is perfect for people who do not like scary but funny. You only need some blue, yellow, and grey eyeshadow and a good black eyeliner. Be patient and start painting your face.


Be creative Loves!!!










I hope you like it and get inspired!

Stay tuned for more the upcoming week!

Until next time Loves,

Spooky Smoothie! - #TastyTuesday

It's pumpkin season! The internet is buzzing in recipes, which have pumpkin as their main ingredient. Pies, cupcakes, soups, hot and cold drinks.. Today I share with you this simple smoothie recipe that I came up with at work.
As some of you know, I work at a juice and smoothie bar. Everything we make is freshly prepared in front of your eyes with high quality and organic products. The menu has a lot of varieties, for anyone's taste, but we were missing something new for the season. So we decided to experiment with pumpkin. After a couple of tries, we had a winner...Spooky Smoothie!

For a 16 oz smoothie you will need:



- 1cup of apple juice
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1cup frozen pumpkin
- ginger
- cinnamon
- dates/agave to sweeten
- 1 scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt (optional)

Add all the ingredients in a blender and mix until creamy. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and Enjoy!


Too excited to try? Come and visit us at Pulp San Marco! We'll be glad to serve you one!

See you soon,

Spooky friends!

September Favorites!

 Is it October yet???
I still cannot believe it! Well that means only one thing...time for some monthly favorites !



Skin and body care

Probably two of my most favorite products of all time. Yes! I have been obsessing over face products and trying to explore more and these two little ones have been really nice to my skin. The Clean & Clear cleanser is so soft on the skin and does an amazing job with cleaning my makeup and all the dirtyness of the day. Whether the hydrating mask...well you already know if you read my review on that.



Make-up

I finally decided to buy a new eyeliner and after reading and listening to different bloggers' opinions, I purchased the NYC High Definition liquid eyeliner. This is the blackest black I have ever seen on an eyeliner. It is very easy to create a winged line in just 2 min and the color stays black for a long time. Totally worth the money!




The Cailyn lipgloss I received on my Ipsy bag has been a staple go-to lip product. I put it on every time I need something simple that looks like I put a lot of effort on...Go check my handbag and you will know what I am talking about ;)


Clothes and Fashion accessories.

Oh Boy! Did I do some shopping this month...Don't judge! A lot of stores had great sales and the new season is here. To be honest I still haven't bought anything very fall-ish (perks of living in Florida) but I did buy some late summer pieces which I am in love with. No.1  goes to my Guess open toed booties. I just think they are the perfect nude colored shoes and the heel is exactly how I like it. I have been pairing them with jeans, skirts, dresses...a versatile piece you need for your wardrobe. Best part: they are super super comfortable ! 


Staying with the nude shoes, I purchased this flat gladiator style sandals from G by Guess. As you can tell from the pictures, I have wore them A LOT! Comfortable and good-looking.

Random

Do you remember my birthday wish-list? Well some of the wishes came true including the makeup vanity. I got one a couple of weeks ago and I am still working on the decorations. My beauty corner is finally coming to life, and this "Princess" wood piece is part of it. It is very girly and probably not for my age but it makes me feel just like it states - a Princess! 


I like to play with my nails and change the color every week. That being said I don't go after quality when it comes to nail polish - I hunt colors! And this pink-y nude nail polish from Pure Ice caught my eyes immediately. It has such a beautiful metallic finish!


My favorite show: Revenge (find it on Netflix and watch it !!! )

My favorite songs:

Iggy Azalea - Black Widow ft. Rita Ora (singing it out-loud every single time )

Meghan Trainor - All about that Bass

It was an awesome month! Looking forward to see what October has reserved :)

Oh WAIT! It is Halloween month, isn't it??? hehehe...be prepared!

See you soon,

Crab meat recipe - #TastyTuesday

I have admit I do not cook very often. But I like trying new recipes now and then and I am usually very good at it. Modesty!
So we decided to buy some crab meat the other day at the market. I did my research online on some of my favorite cooking websites and I came across this one. I have to say it turned out really good even with my twist. It is a dish you could use to surprise your guests or treat yourself whenever you feel like. Try it yourself and let me know! Let's get to cooking...

You will need:
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups crab meat
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 
  • 1/2 tbsp salt



1. Melt the butter in the skillet and add the onions. Cook until gold.

2. Add the flour and the milk stirring gently until the big clumps are completely gone.  Season with salt and any other herbs if you prefer. Let it cook for 10 mins in medium temperature.

3. Pour the whole mixture into the baking dish.

4. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.

5. Put it in the oven and let it bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the breadcrumbs and the Parmesan are gold and brown. 

6. Pair it with some rice and you have a delicious meal.







Enjoy your #TastyTuesday

Product Review: Elizabeth Arden Hydrating Mask

I have heard so many good things about Elizabeth Arden's products that I finally decided to try one of them on my own. So, I purchased the Elizabeth Arden Hydrating Mask at Marshalls a couple of weeks ago. Let me start by saying two words: "amazing results".

The mask comes in a tube just like a toothpaste. It has a very thick-creamy consistency and applies very easily on my skin. I use it once or twice a week to give my skin some glow. I keep it on for about 15 mins and wash it off with a warm wet cloth. It does not dry on the face nor does it irritate it.

The moment I remove the mask I have this cooling and clean sensation which makes my skin breathe again. The pores are visibly minimized, softness is back and my face is glowing!
I am loving this mask and I will absolutely recommend it to anybody who has dry to normal skin for the perfect moisture. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

See you soon,
xoxo Marjana
