Looks for All Day Everyday

I love doing my make-up. I really can´t put together why I would let someone else do it for me when I am going out or for some special event. I like playing aroud and honestly who knows my face better then me?!
I do obviously understand that there are people who don´t have the skill, patience, products etc. I am in no place to judge of course. I just mean that I am lucky enough to be able to somewhat fix myself up on my own. And I really enjoy it. So yay for me I guess haha.
That is a reason why my make- up routine changes and you can always see me rock some other color of eyeshadows. I actually don´t think that I have ever worn the same combo of eyeshadows, like ever for two days in a row.

I also have tried lots of new products lately which switched up my everyday makeup and this is truly my fave so far. It is easy and quick.

Now I unlike everybody else in the universe do start with my foundation and "contour" and not eyebrows. As I am trying not to be too harsh I only use BB cream after I am done moisturizing. Currently I like using the one from ZIAJA. For framing a flattering my face I do slight contour using my new love- profusion highlight palette. I love to use the lightest and darkest shade.
I have been struggling with my eyebrows so much receantly. Then one morning I accidently used Essesnce soft contouring lip pencil to fill in my brows (as it looks just like my brow pencil) and I felt little stupid at first. Then I noticed how perfect the color is on me and felt meh. It looked great. I always "seal the deal" with brow gel. My new fav is Fill+Tame by Beautanic Beauty.
As I mentioned I don´t go for the same eyeshadow twice but I can assure you that 80 percent of the time it will be the oranges and pinks from shadow palette that I have loved so much in last year, I can´t even read its brand from the cover. Ops. Sorry.
Eyeliner and mascara have been previously mentioned in my receant posts. Eyeko liner and Bad Gal mascara by Benefit. They last for ever. I find it as little challenge every night to take them off to be honest with you haha.
Lippy is very different story. I do not have an every day shade. I find this to be a great ´cherry on top´ when it comes to whole outfit and final look. So play around and see what works best.

Did you try any of these products before? Do you have any you think I should try? Let me know or go comment on my latest pic on insta and leave a recommendation x @DeniVev

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Granny Look

I have been wanting to change my hair for a while now. The whole smudged root thing has been in for som time now and yes it is real practical as it keeps me from having to touch up my roots 24/7. Now I am not saying that I suddenly have plenty of time to spend of doing my hair, but the change has really been needed.
Now even though I am a hairdresser myself and I tend to do my hair alone- help has been needed. So I used my holidays back in the hometown to get this blonde straw I call my hair sorted out.
The plan was simple. Get rid of the dark roots and make it all somewhat even with high/low-light situation.

May Mood

Remember those times, when I had you have a look into my little brain to see what inspires me lately, as far as fashion and lifestyle things are? Well Im going to do that again. I have been using my pinterest a lot lately and wanting to try so much of it - fashion, home decor, makeup looks etc- I really wanted to share it with you and maybe have you go for it yourself. 

Wingin It

If you have been around on my blog for a little while, you have noticed that winged eye liner has become a huge must in my everyday make-up routine. It makes your eye bigger, brighter and pop. If you can nail it, your whole look is just a bit more extra and makes you seem more put together. Always a bonus right? 
For that you need a real good liner. Good product, bit of patience and practice is going to get you to that next level. As I am a bit of a freak for this little trend, i have tried far too many different products and brands, so I am kind of a know it all haha.
Lately I have been having real bad luck though. Every product I had was either too runny, dried crazy quick or the brush was a whoooop. Nothing seemed to have worked. Then I received my latest birchbox and the winging game has been changed .

In A Shortcut

Do you live in England? Have you ever visited? Ever attempted to come during summer? Succeeded? Congrats. You made it to England during those magical 3-4 weeks of summer. If doesn' t always come in a row. Those few weeks are sprinkled around the year, as mother nature pleases. I was lucky enough to be able to somewhat enjoy the first part of British summer and it actually helped me fall back in love with Liverpool.
As I lived here for good few years, Liverpool became my home. Place where I work, live, have responsibilities and grown up shit to deal with. This type of places tends to start grossing us out after a little while. There is nothing you can do about it. It is just one of those things that happens in life.
In my case, I just got tired of being in the same place. Bored of doing same things and not having time or energy to do nothing more then I had to. The few sunny days charged me up though and I was able to go places and do thing that made me love Liverpool on first place. Meeting up with friends, getting food or few drinks, working in and outside of the salon and I even had time to chill and have little me time. Perfect way to remind myself why I live in this Scouse land.

Bad Gal like Bratz

One of my favorite features at anyone are the eyes. As a hairdresser it is something I have to notice on daily bases and making them stand out is pretty much my job. So you can imagine when I get to do my makeup- this is something I really like to focus on. As little girl I loved the Bratz dolls and I guess I am trying to take a little inspiration from them now that I get to doll myself up. Big eyes, bright and often colorfull. It really makes my face look all cute and dolly I guess.

One of the key things for this is a great mascara. The one I am pretty obsessed with is benefit' s Bad Gal. Makes lashes look longer, voluminous and gorgeous. Now it has one little thing , I am not sure about. Might be just my bottle, I will have to look into that, but it is kinda hard to take it off at the end of a day. It is pretty great though, when you think about it, just means it lasts well right?

Lightning and Imagine Dragons

Recently I had a chance to cross an amazing experience off of my bucket list. Thanks to my sister I got to go see Imagine Dragons live in Manchester. She came over so she goes there with me. It has definitely been worth waiting in freezing cold weather and having your lips turn purple.

Not so Common in the place called Common

Recently I have visited Manchester for the best concert I have been to so far. I am pretty sure that this experience will be very very hard to beat and will pretty surely stay in top 5 for a long time. You know it is one of those things where only things like, becoming an auntie, parent, endless love or solving a world hunger etc would make life better. But more about that in another post.

Here I wanted to share a different experience. Something that made my stay in Manchester better. As I stayed over for a night (traveled there with my sister) I needed a nice place to get breakfast. Sister is a huge coffee lover and little expert on the best of best. I am a known foodie. We stayed in Northern Quarter almost Picadilly Gardens area. So where should we go for breakfast that will make the whole concert experience sink in nicely?! Common!
Sweet little-ish place on Edge Street surrounded by plenty other artistic, as my sis says-hipster, cosy and very affordable, friendly staffed places. As you walk towards Common, there is no chance of missing the colorful entrance. Happy Hi and Hello from all sides as you walk in and warm feeling from the heaters we have been die-ing for.

kiss your valentine

RED.- One of the classiest lip colors, flirtiest and most valentine appropriate. I have loved red lip since I was an youngster. Tried different brands, shades and combinations. Currently I have one TOP mix of products and what a better time to share it with you, then on the Valentine' s day week?!

Bbb-Birch Box numero One

If you have been my reader for a while, you know that a 'Me time' is real important for me. It is my way of cleansing not only a body but also mind. Switching off and only focusing on myself. Trying out new products, feeling how tight or cold a face mask gets, how soft or rough the skin is or anything else that is - me, me, me! Being bit selfish for a while. As I pamper my clients all day everyday at work, this is sure well deserved haha.
So, I gave myself a rule. In 2018 I have to try new stuff and take care of myself. My body, beauty, health and mental state. As a start I decided to finally get myself onto a Birchbox trend. I have been thinking of ordering a monthly subscription that it offers for a while. And as a combination of my plans and new rule, this seemed like the best time.

Wa Wa Wow

I am becoming a sucker for online shopping. It is hella risky, especially being a plus size girlie, but there sure is something to it. As I am busy with work, traveling, taking care of house etc, this is obviously much easier then going out and bumping into people or waiting in lines. Plus , now that all social media advertises all different shops and apps, it is basically impossible to not get lost in the world of online shopping spree. And so I found this RUE.
What a beauty. I am so obsessed. My shopping cart can' t possibly get any fuller. I am actually scared of ordering something as it might cause an obsession. My bank account would not appreciate that.
But I do feel the need to share my biggest loves with you. Oh and no this is in no way sponsored or anything. I just really like do like their pieces.
