After giving my eyelashes a break of about half a year, I recently got eyelashes extensions done once again since it’s summer now and it is extremely convenient to have them. In this post I wanted to share a few quick tips of how to take care of your eyelash extensions for them to look cute for as long as possible.
COMB THEM. This is by far the most important thing since if you don’t do that, they’re gonna get all messed up and look not pretty but otherwise. Make sure you comb your lashes at least once every 2 days to keep them nice.
KEEP THEM CLEAN. Always make sure to remove every single bit of makeup since if you don’t do that, they’ll fall out quicker. Removing eye makeup with a cotton pad is not enough when you have eyelash extensions, so after doing that dip a cotton bud in micellar water and clean your lashes once again.
NO OIL!!!!!! This is the number one rule when it comes to eyelash extensions – never use any product that contains oil anywhere near your eyes.

Different weather conditions require different beauty products. It’s been warm and sunny the past couple of weeks so automatically my skin/hair care routine has changed. In this blog post I wanted to share some of my favourite beauty products that I use throughout summer.
1 2 3 4
Victoria’s Secret Sheer Love fragrance mist and lotion. When it’s hot outside I much prefer wearing a fragrance mist rather than eau de perfume – a body mist feels lighter and more fresh. Also I love when my fragrance and body lotion is matching, so this VS set is my absolute fave.
Corine de Farme bronzing oil. Not only does this spray accelerates the tanning process but it also smells amazing and makes your skin glowing.
Syoss shine-sealing finish fluid. Who doesn’t love rocking shiny beach waves in summer? This hair product is by far one of my all time favourites. It makes your hair shiny but doesn’t leave a greasy feeling to it as oppose to most hair oils.
Gucci Flora eau de toilette. As I said previously, I prefer body mists in summer. However, for going out or a special occasion this Gucci fragrance is an absolute summer must-have.
Kylie has recently posted a story of Instagram of saying that Kylie Cosmetics page is hacked. It wasn’t a big surprise since social media accounts of socialites get hacked quite often, but on the other hand it didn’t really look like a random person did it so her followers started guessing that it’s probably someone Kylie actually knows i person. However, she’s recently announced that ‘the hacker’ is nobody else than the momager Kris Kardashian!
It turns out that Kylie Cosmetics and Kris Jenner are collaborating in order to do a new makeup line that will launch on Mother’s Day (American). In my opinion, this was a really clever and unique way of announcing a new makeup line. They even changed the @KylieCosmetics Instagram and Twitter handles to @KrisCosmetics.
Names of the products are hilarious as well, including ‘10%’, ‘Vodka Tonic’ and ‘Your Sister’s Going to Jail’ – if you’ve ever watched KUWTK you know what it’s all about.
As seen in Kylie’s Instagram stories, the packaging of the products looks lovely, the shades of the lipsticks are gorgeous and the highlighter palette is a definite must-have for summer. I honestly can’t wait for this launch!
Below I’ve listed a few of the products that I’ve been loving and using daily the past month
1. Ari by Ariana Grande
this fragrance has been my favourite one for quite a while now. It is really affordable, smells amazing and stays on for a long time.
2. Bleach London silver shampoo
I’ve tried so many hair products to help me maintain a cool tone of blonde ant this shampoo is by far the best one. I will definitely repurchase it again and again.
This gel gently purifies the skin without overdrying and leaves it feeling clean and refreshed.
4. Rimmel Stay Matte liquid lip colour in Moca
This is my new favourite nude lip product: it’s not patchy at all, the shade is gorgeous and it stays on for a really long time. Perfect product both for daytime wear and going out.
5. Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil
This eyebrow product stays on for a long time and doesn’t use up as quickly as most eyebrow pencils.
You either love her or hate her but you have to admit that Kylie Jenner is a successful business woman. At such a young age Kylie has already released a clothing line with her sister Kendall Jenner, been named one of the most influential teens in the world and most importantly owns a cosmetics company that is expected to be wort more than $1 Billion by 2022. These are only a few achievements of the 20-year-old. But in today’s post I wanted to share a few thoughts that I have on the previously mentioned empire – Kylie Cosmetics.
First of all, I have to admit that I don’t own any of Kylie’s products, the opinions that I’ll share are all based on other people’s reviews and statistics.
So the first few products that Kylie has released were the lip kits. Last year everyone was raving about the matte liquid lipsticks that would sell out so fast that hardly anyone was able to get their hands on the lip kits at first. Later on the lip glosses, eyeshadows and other products were released. As seen in reviews on Youtube it seems that the products are really good quality and worth the money, hence Kylie Cosmetics instantly became a successful makeup brand.
A recent thing that quite amazed me was the Kylie Cosmetics Truck that was rolling through L.A. just a week ago. I personally have never seen or heard about anything similar to that before and I think this is a brilliant new way for the brand to merchandise its production through a visual space like that truck. The truck featured this year’s Kylie Cosmetics holiday collection, lip kits, lipsticks, lip liners, kylighters, ultagrows, palettes and accessories, including panties, socks, and hats from the Kylie Shop. People who were queuing to order the previously mentioned products were also given out vanilla cupcakes with the famous lip kit logo to ease the wait time.
Even though I would love to try Kylie Cosmetics products, its recent release shocked me (as well as quite a lot of well-known people in the beauty industry). If you’ve been keeping up with news about Kylie you probably know what I’m talking about already – the makeup brushes.
I mean, at first sight these look cute. And you would expect the set to be quite expensive not only because you think it’s going to be good quality but because of the brand name. BUT excuse me, $360.00 ??? Okay, it is a full, 16-piece set of real hair makeup brushes. But still, is it a sensible price?
I’m including a review of the brush set that seems to be very honest and straightforward to me.
First thing that is said about the set – the packaging. As Laura Lee said and as it is clearly visible in the video footage, the packaging of the brushes looks cheap and that is not what one would expect after splurging so much money. A few things that I noticed as well are that there is no eyeliner brush and in my opinion this is a crucial brush in a full set.
All in all, I have mixed feelings about Kylie Cosmetics. Although some of the products and marketing strategies seem to be brilliant, some of the stuff that the brand is selling seems to be completely overpriced and not worth all the fuss.
Since today is the last day of November, I wanted to share a few beauty products that I’ve been loving this month and highly recommend.
1. Sleek Makeup highlighting palette in Solstice 032
I got this absolutely gorgeous palette as a gift for my birthday and have been using it every day ever since. It consists of 1 cream and 3 powder highlighter shades that give the most perfect glow ever.
2. Batiste dry shampoo
I have tried a lot of different kinds of dry shampoos but this one is my all time fave. Not only does it give your hair volume and a fresh look, but also the scent of it is sooo nice.
3. Loreal Skin Perfection micellar water
In my opinion using micellar water is the easiest and most convenient way to remove your make up. This product does exactly what it says on the label hence I love it and use it daily.
4. NYX matte lipstick in Butter
This is my another favourite product of all time. It’s the most beautiful nude shade ever that can be worn both daytime and on nights out. Its quality is really good as well since it stays on for a very long time and doesn’t smudge at all. I’m definitely going to repurchase it after running out.
5. Oriflame refreshing eye illuminator
This eye cream actually helps to reduce the puffiness and darkness under the eyes. I use it every morning and evening before applying moisturizer.
6. Calvin Klein CK One fragrance
The bottle that I own is a travel size one so it’s an absolute essential in my handbag. The scent is unisex, very light and has refreshing tones of bergamot, lemon and mandarin.
