Hello guys, 

it's Sunday and it means that's time for Happy Sunday Survey. Sunday Survey is another great way to share something from your life, but it's also great opportunity to get to know you guys! The principle is simple, I'll ask five questions, answer them and you can feel free to do the same. :)

1. American Dad or Family Guy?

Definitely American Dad, it's more funnier and friendlier. I love Roger, Francine and Steve. Plus my boyfriend looks kinda like Stan. :D :D

2. Have you ever been in casino?

Yes, last week for the first time and I felt like I was in totally different world. Watching people playing, loosing  and winning money,… It felt exciting, but after all I would regret the money, so totally not the place where I wanted to return. But I'm happy that I have this experience.

3. Coat or parka?

I'm strictly coat person. I don't own anything else than coat - no jacket, no anorak, no parka. But I think parka looks amazing on other people and it can be sexy in some way, but I don't think it looks good on me.

4. Gilmore Girls - yes or no?

Definitely YAAAS! I love them, I've seen them many many times. Actually right now I watch them from the first season again, because I can't wait for the revival.

5. What movie are you planning to watch?

In two days hopefully I'm going to watch Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiars Children. I've read the book and I love it. I hope the movie won't crush my heart. 

I would be more than happy if you join the Bloglovin' party with me. :)

Hello guys,

my shopping fever hasn't stopped yet and I continue with beauty hauls from USA. If you haven't seen the first one, check it out here. I'm planning to do two or three more beauty hauls. After that I think I'll be done, because I can't spend a milion here. :D But I already know that I will need some backups home. :) Now, let's look at my new goodies. 

St. Ives, Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub $ 4.49

I heard A-M-A-Z-I-N-G stuff about this scrub, so there was no way that I wouldn't get my hands on this product. And mainly this is Allure's award winner, which already means something. This product promises to deeply clean skin to reveal smooth skin with fresh feel. Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic product. Well, we will see if it surprise me or not.

Loreál, True Match Super-Blendable Makeup $ 8.89

Lately I've been on a hunt to find the best drugstore foundation. When I saw this foundation last year in US I wasn't sure, if I should buy it. Since then I regretted this decision, so evidently this foundation was the first foundation I bought it here. This foundation should nourish skin, apply easily and fit every skin tone, because it comes in 33 shades.

e.l.f., Shadow Brush $ 1

After buying the concealer brush and blending brush, I had to try this one too. Hopefully it won't disappoint me, because this price is amazing for brushes.

KISS, Gel Fantasy Nails $ 7.99

I miss my gel nails, so I decided to to give another try to press on nails. I chose this light everyday pink color and short size. This kit promises 2 weeks wearing gel shining nails. I'm pretty excited.

PS: I joined the awesome Monday Makeup Madness on fabulous blog by Ingrid. Check her out! :)

Hello guys,

today I had a dream about circus. I don’t know why, because it’s been ages from my last visit. I even don’t have any memories of it…but had this dream. So when I woke up, I immediatelly knew how my next eye makeup  is gonna look. Maybe some of you guys are raising your eyes up and thinkinkg, how is this similar to circus. Well, I don’t know either, but when someone asks me what circus evokes in me, they are these colors - red and yellow. 

First I sketch my new cut crease with Summer Yum (Too Faced, Sweet Peach).

Then I buff out the new crease using Candied Peach and Peaches n’ Cream (Too Faced, Sweet Peach).

To bring more depth to the crease I used Freshly Toasted ( Zoeva, Cocoa Blend) and blend it out with Summer Yum (Too Faced, Sweet Peach).

Outline the lower lashline with Summer Yum (Too Faced, Sweet Peach and blend it out with Candied Peach (Too Faced, Sweet).

Fill the gap with Jumbo pencil from NYX in Milk.

6 Cover the gap with yellow glitters, add some eyelashes and mascara and highlight under the brow bone and inner corner with White Peach (Too Faced, Sweet Peach).

You guys tell me, what does circus evoke in you and when is the last visit of yours?

Love, Michelle <3

Hey guys,

today, I’d like to talk about my favorite facial mask. Oh, yeah, it’s the gorgeous Mask of Magnaminty from LUSH. It took me over a few months to memorize the right name "Magnaminty". :D Eventually I've learnt it so now I can say Magnaminty, Magnaminty and Magnaminty. 

As you know, Lush is known for fresh handmade cosmetics products which are 100 % vegetarian. This mask is made from 3 most important ingredients (according me): kaolin, betonite gel and peppermint oil. Kaolin ( China clay as well) is natural soft clay which cleans and exfoliates dead doing cells, betonite gel absorbs grease and dirt from skin and peppermint oil as herbaceous plant with refreshing strong mint aroma helps to cool the skin. 

For now I have like 3rd of 4th packaging of this awesome product. Every single package is different. It can be smoother or more crusty, more or less dry, little burn or non burning, cools all the time or cools at the beginning. It depends who made it and what is the ration of the ingredients. But in general I can say few things about the mask. When you put this mask on, it applies smoothly, but feel little rough in same time. After it dries it feels crusty and take some time to wash off. It does cool and calm skin and helps to remove any redness or rash. It's perfect for summer time, when it's super hot and you need to refresh your face. It does clean your skin afterwards and pull out all dirt from your skin. Because of the clay it dries, which means if you have oily skin, no worries put it everywhere twice a week and it will remove your oiliness. If you have dry skin like me, you should be little careful with this. Put it only in some strict areas where you need it and don't let the mask sit on your face  for a long time. Pu the mask on once a week and make sure that your skin is always enough moisturized afterwards. If you follow these little "rules", go ahead, don't be scared and use the mask, because this mask belongs to my all time favorites. I will always go back to this product and never regret it. My skin always feels clean, refreshed and soft afterwards. I can highly recommend this! And because of all these superlatives I rate this products with five stars.

Hello guys,

first week in USA is behind me and I couldn’t have waited to finally check out the drugstores. So I did, I spent hours and hours in Target, Walgreens, Walmart and CVS! I was looking at all these products, got excited about a lot of things, but I wanted to buy everything from my Wishlist first before I’ll buy something different. I’m the kind of a person who needs to read reviews before buying. Let’s see what I bought last week ( don’t worry, I’m not done yet :D ).

Loreál, Brow Stylist Definer $ 7.99

This Brow pencil shoud shape your brow for a well-defined look thanks to ultra-fine tip. They promise waterproof brow pencil which is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. I bought the one in Brunette, so we will see how this products will stand.

 ELF, Blending Brush $ 1 + ELF, Concealer Brush $ 1

I’ve never been a fan of ELF cosmetics. I always threw it in the same box with MUA cosmetics, Freedom Makeup and Makeup Revolution, because I think these brands always tried to make dupes of high end makeup  (eyeshadow palettes mostly) and I prefer having own concept plus I always thought the quality is kinda off. So I never paid attention to ELF brushes. One day I saw video from KathleenLights, where she recommended these brushes. And I was like NAH, any cheap brush can’t be that good. How time went, she made a few more videos where she talked about them again. So I checked the czech site of ELF and still didn’t believe that they can be good. Well today, a few years later I’m standing in Target looking at these brushes and they actually look great. So I bought these two to try them out. I won’t use the Concealer brush for concealer, but for eyeshadow on lower lashline mostly.

Hello guys,

I decided to add Sunday Survey questions to our Happy Sunday section. It's another great way to share something from your life, but it's also great opportunity to get to know you guys! The principle is simple, I'll ask five questions, answer them and you can feel free to do the same. :)

1. What is your current mood?

Oh, right now I miss my baby Scratchy (the one in the picture above). He's my little man and I love him so much. I haven't seen him for a week and I already miss him. The fact, I will see him in three months breaks my heart.

2. Heels or flats?

I love high heels, they look sexy and I always feel like a  real woman when I wear them, but sadly I prefer flat shoes, because I like my comfort. I know, such a bitch. :D

3.  What is your biggest fear?

Well, I thought I would say dark, but when I thought about it, my biggest fear is/are people, because I'm scared of people comming over night to kill me, people robbing me, I'm scared to fail people,… It has been always about people. 

4. _________ is/are the best for depressed days.

My beloved six cats, coffe, cake and tv shows.

5. Are you having a good hair day?

I would say so. I washed my hair in the morning, so they smell perfectly.

Allright guys, here are my answers and now I would like to read yours.

Have a great Sunday!

Love, Michelle <3

Hello guys,

Today I used Mousse (Too Faced, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar) as my transition color.

Hello makeup lovers!

Today I'm bringing for you guys some tips how to choose the right makeup. I'm pretty sure that there are many girls, women or maybe guys, who don't have money or just don't want to buy tons of foundations, mascaras, eyeshadows and so to find the perfect shade, formulation and pigmentation of makeup products. For those of you, I tried to create something like list of what you should do before you want to buy something. Hope you will enjoy my advices.

FOUNDATION

Before you buy any foundation, you need to find out what tone and undertone your skin has. Tone of your skin is the color you can see on surface of your skin. For right foundation you should look at the tone of your neck and body, because sometimes the tone of your face can be different than your  neck. You can belong to fair, medium, olive or dark tone.

 There are many ways how to determine undertone, which is very important like tone. One of them is to look at your veins on the inside of your wrist. If the veins appears blue or purple then you have cool undertone skin. If the veins appears green, then your skin is warm. If this one didn't help, there is another trick. Grab a piece of white paper and put it against your skin. Look at the mirror and focus on the contrast to the white paper. If it appears as pink or rosy, then you have cool skin undertone. If yellowish, then you have warm undertone.

Alright, now we know what color your skin has, but that's not everything. Next what you need be aware of is how your skin behaves - is it oily, dry, combination or sensitive. Now we know everything about your skin, so  next step what you should do is to decide what do you actually want from the foundation. How long it should last - up to 4, 8 or 12 hours? What coverage - light, medium or full? What about finish - matte, even, dewy or natural? These factors are only and one more only about you and your preferences. 

So when you know your requirements, now it's your time to do some research. There are two ways how you can do it. First sit at home, bring your computer, type all your requirements and just read many many many many reviews till you find your prefect foundation. Second one is to go to the store and ask. I think this method can be tricky, because sometimes some people are real profi and know their sortiment, but sometimes they have no idea about any of those products. Whatever method you choose, I would recommend to ask for a sample, so you can try it out and decide if you really like it or not. 

MASCARA

I think that choosing the right mascara can be very tricky. Even here you should decide what you expect from mascara - volume, length, neutral, spider effect, … I found this picture where you can see which wand is good for. The last step is only reading and searching on the Internet, because 70% of products on market don't do what they promised (in my opinion). But be aware, what works for someone doesn't have to work for another, so please, be more patient and find more than 2-3 reviews before buying it.

EYESHADOWS

If you can't decide between buying single eyeshadows or eyeshadow palettes, I always recommend the eyeshadow palettes. More options, usually cheaper and travel friendly. When you choose the right one for you, you don't have to use anything else.
First thing you should decide before buying is if you're more into neutral, or colorful, pink / gold / smokey colors. Second thing you need to decide what finish you want - shimmer or matte. Third thing you should search for is pigmentation. The pigmentation should be rich. Fourth thing you should look for is good blending job. You never can work with eyeshadows which you can't blend out. When you answer all the question, search again and read reviews. In this case I think you find more luck with pricier brands, not luxury, but high ends or close to high ends. For me I can recommend Zoeva eyeshadow palettes for the little cheapest option, and then of course Too Faced, Urban Decay, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kat von D, etc.. If you wanted to invest into 30-40 colors in eyeshadow palettes, everyone is raving about Morphe Brushes Pro Makeup Palettes. I haven't tried this brand yet, so can't talk from my experinces, but I've heard many great things about these ones.
If you are not sure what colors do suit you, you can use this picture as an idea. This is according your color of iris. But honestly, I think any color suits to everyone. Don't be scared and step out of your normal comfort zone.

Hello guys, 

because it's Sunday, which means it's Happy Sunday post and because October finally came, I'm bringing another Monthly Recap from September. September was pretty busy and I enjoyed it. This month was last month in Czech Republic, because right now I'm somewhere in the air on plane on the way to USA. Hopefully I'll survive everthing everywhere and land safely. But let's get back to my September Recap. :)

First week was a week of books and movies. I finally bought my first Marvel comic book  - 1st edition Avengers. Next amazing book was The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. This book is pretty good one and I recommend to everyone. You might be bored in the beginning, but make sure you stay for 2-3 chapters. Then you will love it!

I went to visit my lil brother at the hospital. We walked around the area and saw these beautiful arts. 

Had lunch and dinner at currently favorite French restaurant called Magdalena. This restaurant has style and looks stunning. I love spending time there and the food? It's tasty! <3

And I visited two cities I've never been before. The first one is called Bechyne. Bechyne is lovely small town with castle from 13th century. 

And second town I visited this month was Pisek (in English translation - "sand"). Pisek is middle-sized town famous for Film Academy and the oldest bridge in our country and second oldest in central Europe (Pisek Stone Bridge). We were so lucky to see this beautiful art from SAND! If you haven't noticed, these statues are from fairytales: Hansel and Gretel, donkey Eeyore, Long, Broad and Sharpsight,…

I think I really enojoyed September. Now I'm looking for adventures in USA!

How was your September?

Love, Michelle <3
