Blogmas Day 4: Would You Rather Christmas Edition Tag

Hi lovelies!

In December I am having a hard time catching up on all Blogmas posts and Vlogmas videos on YouTube, but I am trying my best ;)

Yesterday I was cathcing up with Lucys (The London Girl) Vlogmas videos and I loved the Would You Rather Christmas Edition Tag. 

The questions were really funny, so I decided to do it.

 Coal for makeup or pine needles for hair.

Coal for makeup. Smudged eyeliner, smoky eye, black lips...it's manageable :D

 Nose like Rudolph or ears like an elf.

Gosh I hate elf ears and I mean it! So, nose like Rudolph ;) I would put some concealer over it or highlighter to make it pop.

 Meet the ghosts of christmas past or the ghost of christmas future. 

Past?

 Give or only receive presents for the rest of your life. 

I love giving and receiving presents, but if I could choose just one would be giving. 

Eat turkey without gravy or sprouts everyday for the rest of your life.

I LOVE brussles sprouts!! So I would choose it over the turkey and I would add some crispy bacon :D

 Carrot like nose or breath like the Grinch.

Breath like Grinch, I would always keep gum and mouthwash in my bag :D

 Declare love for your boss at the Xmas party or receive the most embarrassing secret Santa gift.

Embarrasing secret Santa gift! Would choose that over and over again :D

 Be allowed no decorations or have to have them up all year round.

Until this year I didn't really care that much about decorations, but something clicked in me and I would love to have them up all year round :D

 Sneeze egg nog or fart mistletoe.

Haha i have no idea with this one sorry :D

 Wear elf shoes for a year or have Santa's beard. 

Elf shoes! Why? Because they could be a fun addition to your outfit :P

Hope you enjoyed my answers, I think the questions are pretty hilarious!

Fell free to do this tag and send me a link if you do :D

Blogmas Day 3: Brownie in a mug

Hi lovelies!

If you know me, you know I love sweets. In the winter time, sometimes the craving for cake or something is really strong. And since I don't always have time to bake I usually make a brownie in a mug.

I want to share this recipe with you, but you probably know it already. Still, I'm a nice person and I like to share ;)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp of melted butter

1-2 tbsp of water

2-4 tbsp of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)

3-4 tbsp of cocoa powder

3-4 tbsp of flour

First, you want to melt your butter. I just put it in a mug and melt it in a microwave. Then you add water and all the dry ingredients and mix it well. 

After that you can add some Nutella, peanut butter (I usually do that), cinnamon, almond flakes, nuts,...

Put it in a microwave for 1-2 minutes depends on your microwave settings.

And voila the brownie is ready!

You can add some cream on top, but I like to put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on right away so it melts.

Yum! 

Let me know if you'll try to make this and how did you like it!

I hope you are having a cozy evening!

Blogmas Day 2: NOTD Catrice It's A Very Berry Bash

Hello lovelies!

Today I will be short, but i wanted to shear this beautiful Catrice nail polish  in It's A Very Berry Bash. This beauty was in a Catrice goodie bag at a bloggers conference in October. When I saw it, we clicked instantly. 

The shade is a dark berry/red, with cream finish and 2 coats are enough. It dries faster than other Catrice polishes I've tried in the past.

For this manicure I've also added China Glaze in Golden Enchantment on my ring and middle finger. China Glaze polish was given to me by Tamara in summer and I just love it. Thanks again! ;)

So if you like berry shades perfect for fall, I highly recommend this shade, you won't be sorry ;)

Have a wonderful evening!

Blogmas Day 1: E-kozmetika & DM Haul

 Hi lovelies!

December is finally here and this year I decided to do Blogmas :D Don't know what Blogmas is? It means I will be posting every day till Christmas, but also till the end of the year ;)

For day 1 I would like to share with you what I got last week, when I and Gejba from Parokeets blog visited BIS/ E-kozmetika warehouse. They had a sale and everything was 20-70% off!

E-kozmetika is carrying brands like Matis, Payot, Depend, Zuii, some others and of course Alessandro.

They were super nice, they took our coats, brought us  cute purple shopping baskets and explained where everything is, how much it costs, answered all of our questions.

At the end we even got champagne, cookies and juice. It was really nice chatting with all of them. Thanks again!

So here it is the bag I filled up. I spent less than 20€ for everything.

 The first thing that caught my eye was Depend Miracle Kit, a kit for cuticle care. It contains: nail & cuticle cleaner, Myrrh oil, cuticle cream, hand cream, nail brush, orange stick and mini file. The oil smells amazing and the whole set is very useful. 

Originally the kit was 8,50€, but it was 70% off and I got it for 2,55€ 

 When I saw the price of this little pink guy I couldn't resist, since the price in drugstores is just too high for dry shampoo. Lee Staffort Dry Shampoo in dark is better for my hair than any others, since being dark and it won't let white dust on my hair.

The original price was 8,70€ and I got it for less than 3€.

 They had a big basket filled up with a ton of Alessandro nail polishes. 63 Peppermint Patty caught my eye .  Beautiful mint green or blue? cream polish. Almost bought some more but I was a good girl. 

It's a 10ml bottle and it was 3,50€.

 I hoped for a Glam Rock stand, it's an Alessandro winter collection. I got the shade Black Leather at the bloggers conference in October and I used it all up! I had to get some more. It's a black semi matt polish. I just find it so gorgeous. I got two since they were only 2€ each.

 Alessandro Stiplac had been on my wishlist since the day it came out. I decided to try one color for a start. I choose a limited shade Coral Crush. Almost neon coraly shade. I used it over my gel nails, but I will probably also get the Twin Coat and some more colors next time.

The price was 7€.

DM HAUL

 I think Mateja once mentioned that this Balea Best Wishes cream smells similar to Lancome La Vie Est Belle perfume. And she was right! I think I will get other scents also.

I think it costs under 2€!

 I needed a new lash curler so when i saw this cute Ebelin one I had to have it.

It was under 3€.

I buy this Balea Aqua Tuchmaske  every time I'm in DM. It's a paper mask that gives a lot of moisture to my skin.

It costs less than a €!

That's it for today, I hope you liked my little haul. Have you tried any of those products?

Stay tuned for more Blogmas posts!

What are some things that scare you?
Spiders, spiders, spiders....did i say spiders?

What was your life like growing up in high school?
Worst days of my life. Seriously! At first I was so happy to be in high school and having new friends. But soon those ''friends'' showed who they really are. A bunch of bitches  and  everything should be turning around them. At one point I got depressed, but no one noticed that, I just wasn't happy there, If i wasn't in the mood to go out and drink 4 days in a week I was a pussy. Sorry but getting drunk during the week was not fun for me. Not even at the weekends. When I met my boyfriend in the beggining of my 3. year my life became much brighter. From school i only had 2 normal friends and we are still in a good relationship. But  also met new friends from my boyfriends side. Everything was easier with him. Knowing that some is out there, that cares about you, makes you keep going.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
 I'm an introvert. I love being alone or in a small group of people.

I hope you enjoyed reading this tag and you now know me a little bit better. Please feel free to answer the questions, I would love to read it!

When Bloggers go to Heaven (Shopping trip to Ljubljana)

Hello lovelies :D

Note to self, when you go shopping with girls, do it on a sunny day without high heels! Or you can do all those things if you want, honestly it does not ruin the experience if you are with the right people :) 

A while ago me and my fellow beauty bloggers Ana & Jasna decided to go shopping in Ljubljana. Our plan was to visit the Golden Rose store and Smile Concept Store, but I think that deep down inside we all knew that we will visit much more and buy much more than we wanted. Such are the dark ways of shopping.

FIRST STOP: LUSH

Me and Ana meet before Jasna came to Ljubljana in fact, Ana was waiting for me for about half an hour and when we met she already had some bags in her hands. The shopping spirit is definetly strong with this one :D. We had some time before Jasna came, so we decided to spend it the only reasonable way we know, going to  Lush. I think this was my second trip to Lush. I love the store and their products, but for some reason I just can not find the time to go there. We were the only costumers there so the saleswomen devoted all of her time to us. We smelled different bathbombs, tried out different soaps, she sprayed on us million different perfumes and at one point, one saleswoman washed our hands with different body soaps while another talked about ideas, concepts and origins of different soaps. Before we said our farewells  we were also invited on a face treatment xD there is no denying, that we were spoiled like royalty in the store.

SECOND STOP: GOLDEN ROSE

We finally met with Jasna  and decided to go to the Golden Rose store in BTC. We took the bus, which we ofcourse regreted, but there was no other way for us to get there. At the store we definetly took our time, looking at all the different colours, swatching different lipsticks and just enjoying in the big piles of make up. I decided to get two lipsticks and a matte top coat, items that I had on my wish list since I first went to the store. 

After our little Golden Rose adventure we needed to find some shoes for Jasna, you see, she went shopping in high heels, not a good idea xD After a long search we finally found shoes that suited her nicely.

THIRD STOP: YANKEE CANDLE

This is where 'We did not plan this, but f*ck it' phase started. When Jasna saw the little Yankee stand she just went like: 'Jap girly, we are stopping here...'. I think it is needless to say that we smelled every little candle that we could. I found their waxes really interesting, and I am definetly getting some in the near future, but for now I settled with a tiny candle in the Black Coconut smell. Is it black and smells delicious? Count me in ;)

 FOURTH STOP: SMILE CONCEPT STORE

Lastly we went to the Smile Concept Store, definetly the cutest store in Ljubljana. This is where we finally started to photograph stuff (honestly, I wanted to photograph some Lush produsts, but damn was I buisy!). Before going into the store I did not really know what to expect. My biggest question was, what exactly are they selling? Cute stuff to make your home feel happy and cozy :) My personal favourites are mugs, notebooks and lunch boxes. I took a lot of photos there, so why not let the photos tell the story? :)

After many tries it was finally payback time. Ana tried to photograph me a lot and I ofcourse returned the favour ;)

LAST STOP: YES WE ARE KINDA EXHAUSTED AND WE NEED COFFEE

We finished our shopping trip with a well deserved coffee in Cacao, a lovely cafe right by Ljubljanica. Honestly, we all needed that, because we were visibly exsausted from all the shopping and walking. We were on our feet for a bigger part of the day (To give you some perspective, I was in Ljubljana from 10 am to around 6 pm, most of that time was spend walking...) 

Thank you girls for such a wonderful day, we definetly need to do that again in the near future ;)

Dear readers, please do not forget to check posts on Beautysaur and Jessie Fairytale  and read about their experience on this shopping trip ;)

What stores do you like to visit the most? 

Thank you for reading :)

Have a nice day ;)
