Sleek blush in ˝Keep it 100˝ and RT 213 Foundation blender brush

I remember a few years ago when eye palettes from Sleek were a must. They were on every beauty blog and I was drooling over them and admiring their versatility. In our country Sleek was available only online, influencers loved to stock up while traveling to London and made us all a bit jealous... ok, that was back then. Now we have almost forgotten Sleek in our stores and it’s not my primal choice of makeup when I go exploring. Their products are very visually appealing, but by my humble experience, filled with glitter and I think I’m just too old for that.

Long story short. A few weeks ago when I was trying to cheer myself up from all those bad Corona virus related news in a local drugstore, I noticed something new and very pleasant – new blushes from Sleek. I used to own one and loved it, so I was excited to check them out.

I picked Keep it 100 which is a lovely darker mat pink color, perfect for autumn. There were no testers available and the light in the store gets a bit tricky sometimes, but this one looked the most like something I like to wear. It looks a bit scary in the pan, but it is very nice and flattering in person.

This blush is super pigmented, so you need to be careful with the application. I find it to be a very long-wearing and overall amazing product for the price. It comes in a classic-like compact plastic case with a mirror inside, which is great.

Another thing I picked up that day was 213 Foundation blender brush from Real Techniques. This was on my wish list for a longer time and I was so happy when I saw it in person. I really enjoy using it, it is practical to hold and works nicely. I mostly use it for blending my bronzer or blush. I’ve never used it for foundation and I doubt I ever will. Its bristles are dense but super soft and it is easy to clean. Cute little chubby helper.

Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No? Let’s start with something puffy and blue- Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag . This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anywa...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself. This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram) Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines. I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones. She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...
