Ipsy Glam Bag - September 2014

It is that time of the month again...
This is how I start all of my Ipsy posts right? well. almost...
This month's theme is "Street Style" and it is probably one of my favorites. The metallic bag with the studs is pretty chic and it fits perfectly with the theme. I must say the products are pretty good too.

 1. Hot Singles Eye Shadow by NYX - I received the color Rehab, an olive-y green color with some grey-ish . I love NYX products and their single eyeshadow but I am not a big fan of this color. Anyway the texture of it is really soft, blend-able and pigmented as well. I paired it with this gold shadow and it matches perfectly. 
It is a full size product and you can buy it here for $4.50

2. Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush is the first make-up tool I have ever received from Ipsy. I have to say it is very very good and super soft. I used it to apply the eyeshadow from NYX to create the look below, and I loved it. It blends the shadow very well and the crease side is very precise. I am looking forward to using it more. 
You can find it here for $6.99

3. Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil - last time I had something from Pacifica I was a little bit disappointed, but this eye pencil is so damn good. It is soft, water-proof -for real - and the brown color "Fringe" is so beautiful. I applied it on my water-line and I was surprised of how good it looked. It retails for $11.00 and you can find it at Target or here. 

4. Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask by Briogeo - hair products are always welcomed to my collection. This mask claims to treat dry and damaged hair and it also contains some wonderful ingridients such as" argan oil, sweet almond oil, avocado, keratin protein, biotin and many other vitamins. I haven't tried it yet but I am looking forward to it. It is a sample size product but you can buy the full one here. 

5. And the last but certainly not least product in my bag is the CAILYN Art Touch Tinted Lip in shade 09 Basic Instinct, a very beautiful peach-u color perfect for fall. I really liked the  CAILYN tinted lip balm in Apple Pink and I am feeling the same about this lip gloss. It is really creamy, shinny, pigmented and it does not feel sticky. It is a full size product and you can find it here.

That is all I got and this is how I used some of the products on my face :)
Until next time,

Lipstick Trends - Fall 2014

Make-up can never be completed without a great lipstick. The approaching of fall made me think of all the beautiful colors that fit this season. I did a bit of web and brain research and I ended up choosing four great fall-ish shades of lipstick. It is amazingly beautiful how one lipstick can change your whole face... Stunning lipstick power!

1. Nudes - need I say more? Rossetto 113 by Kate, Rimmel London

2. Red - It is always a classic... but this fall I chose a slightly orange-y shade of red. The Loreal 350 British Red !

 3. Wine  - There is no other drink I love more than Wine, so why not "wine-up" my look too?
It is one of autumn's favorite colors! Wet n' Wild 508A Black Orchid

 4. Purple / Plum / Lilac - My favorite from Maybelline 040 Vision Violet!
Who said fall has to be dark and not fun? This is the one shade I would use to cheer me up on those not-in-the-mood days ;) I absolutely LOVE it!

And here are some other suggestions I found on Pinterest! All in one ...

I hope I was helpful with this post my beauties!
Until next time...

Victory Casino Cruise! - Sunday night...

You know the feeling you get when you really need some vacations but you just do not have enough time? This is the perfect time for an "one-day" getaway when all it matters is you, you partner and the amazing time you are having together.
This is exactly what my hubby and I did this past Sunday. We got on an evening Casino Cruise. The cruise departed at 7p.m. but we were there earlier for our tickets and of course some pictures...

At about 6.30 we started boarding and as soon as we entered the ship there was this amazing space full of lights and poker game tables...one of the many casino-rooms...

The dinner was not ready yet so we decided to go around the boat. And the first thing I wanted to check out was the deck. I was super excited and the view was amazing...

After the quick exploring they announced that dinner was ready... yum-yummy :)

We were done eating by 8 o' clock which means we had 4 more hours to spend testing our luck at the machines and enjoying the relaxing moments at the deck bar...
If you ever try this cruise make sure to enjoy the drinks first during sunset. If you are lucky to have the perfect weather then you will also have a BREATHLESS view like this one !!!

And after playing the slot machines and going around we headed back to the deck again to enjoy the rest of the evening under the stars...
There are no pictures because I just wanted to enjoy the moments! It was a very beautiful experience and I will definitely do it again.

See you next time,
xoxo Marjana

August Favorites!

Howdie everyone and happy September!
Summer is officially over and fall has knocked on our doors. As per usual, the end of the month marks a new favorites' post and that is what I am sharing with you today.
Before that, I'd like to say this has been a wonderful month. It was full of celebration, beautiful moments, surprises, happiness...and a 100% summer-enjoying. And the products I am about to show you have weirdly make me happier :P (for choosing them) So let's jump in...

Skin and body care

Summer has always been a bit of a problem for my face and caused my trouble with breakouts and acne. For this reason I have been concentrating a lot on treating my face well. Oneof the products I have been loving is the Teatree Willow Bark Natural Acne Control System by ever clear. I know it is a trial kit, but it is amazing. Even with this little product I have noticed a huge improvement on my face. The system consists of one Antibacterial Acne Wash, one Oil Control Toner and one Anti-acne Lotion. I have used this every night before going to bed in the order above and the results are pretty awesome. Totally recommend these three babies.

The second product is a mask, a very cheap one that you buy at any drugstore. The Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask by Freeman is the bomb dot com :P It is actually really black inside but I love the feeling of raw sugar on my skin and the smell is AH-mazing. I have used up four of this mask and I love them more every time I feel my baby soft skin after washing the mask off. 

Make-up

Unlike July, my make-up inventory was updated a little bit during August. I bought some good products that I have liked and used a lot. You probably know by now how much I love my Maybelline palette. I could't leave it out of this post. It is such a very simple but complicated palette at the same time. It is all you need to create so many many looks from the most simple day-look to the most sophisticated night-out look. And to go with that I have been using this Jordana Easyliner for lips in the shade silver lilac. ( Check out my last post for a makeup look)

Clothes and Fashion accessories.

My highlights of August were my birthday and my friend's too. And for these occasions I bought these gorgeous pair of high heels By Guess which I am in LOVE with. I love the black color, the ankle strap and the gold hardware around it. They are just so Perfect!!!

The second Clothing piece are my denim overalls. You have seen them on my birthday post but here is another one... They are my staple wardrobe piece for this fall!

Random

Another nail polish again, but this one has a lot of sparkle. This color is so beautiful and the glitter makes it so fancy. It goes so well with beach theme. 

I am back to scrapbooking and I hunting some nice paper and stickers for my upcoming project. I found this kit at Ross for just $2.99 and it is so helpful. The theme is just right and it includes not only paper but stickers, tags and more...

My favorite show: Melissa & Joe

My favorite songs:

Sia - Chandelier

Enrique Iglesias - Bailando (English Version) ft. Sean Paul, Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona 

That is all for today my lovely readers!

See you soon,
