EOTD: Oriental Cappuccino
Hello!
Yesterday I went in the town to get some books and felt like doing a very simple and pretty makeup.
Yup, now you can totally see my obsession with brown smoky eyes :P Ah, what can I say? They're fast, subtle, make your eyes pop and very pretty plus I feel too lazy most of the time to "discover a new color combo".
So today I present you to my Oriental Cappuccino.
I've completely forgotten how GORGEOUS Sweetscents eyeshadows were! Love them!
And I'm extra happy as I've discovered how to photograph my eyes with this little (and really old) camera! That means more pictures of my makeup soon :)
I've used:
Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Outer corners: Sweetscents Cappuccino
All over the eyelid: Sweetscents Oriental Beige - this one is just amazing! So shiny and pretty.
Eyeliner: Essence Metal Glam Eyeliner in (01) Got a Date?
Mascara: Bourjois Ultra Black Mascara + Divaderme Lash Extender
Do you love brown smoky eyes?
XOXO Parisky

EOTD: Pink and Yellow
It's time to show you another EOTD (eyes of the day). This is what was my today's makeup for school (you should have seen the looks people gave me). The pictures were taken after 5 hours of wearing this makeup.
I've used Coastalscents 88 matte palette (for neon pink and yellow) and Sweetscents Lover's Moon on top of it (for the shimmery effect).
You can't really see the yellow as it disappeared after some time, but it was in the inner side of my eye.
With flash:
Would you wear something like this to school/work? Do you care about the looks people gave you?

EOTD: Gold mine
Time for another EOTD! Today I felt like I wanted to try a new combo. I picked Goldstone and Lodo from my Sweetscents samples. Goldstone is an amazing shimmery gold with a green undertone and gold glitter. Lodo looks almost black but it has a strong blue undertone with silver glitter in it.

My top ten products so far
Hello lovelies!
Lately I've been thinking what are my top products I have ever used?
I came out with a top ten list. Here it is:
10. Vaseline

Actually I never knew it was so useful until I found this page (50 uses of Vaseline). This product really is amazing and the very important thing it is non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores)! I use it every time after I take a shower on my feet (I apply a generous amount) and put on socks over night or just for a couple of hours. It leaves your feet smooth an soft. I use it for my lips, dry skin and on my cuticles.
And what's the biggest plus? It's cheap!
9. Anti-spot body spray by Essence
I've been using this for months now :) It really helps and it is much much cheaper than Clinique Acne Solutions Body Treatment Spray (a really short name :P) and it does exactly the same plus it doesn't smell so artificially. Actually I did a review of it a while ago. Here.
8. Curls Rock Curl Amplifier from Tigi
I have curls and curls tend not to stay on their place and to get nods. This baby really helps to give your hair that va-va-voom effect and extra pretty curls :)
7. False Lash Effect mascara from Max Factor
I have written everything about it in a previous review. Here. I still love it! :)
6. 88 matte palette from Coastal Scents
I love love love it! If you don't know which shade to get just buy this palette and you've got it all :) It has got 88 shades of different pigmentation. Some of them tend to expire very quickly in my crease but other can stay on my eyes for more than 12 hours! I got this palette last year and since than I did not look at any other new eyeshadow (because with this palette you almost don't need it). And another plus? It's only 19 $ :)
5. Ultimate Brow kit from Wet n wild
Before this kit I was using Dior powder eyebrow pencil and I was loving it. But than I saw a review of this kit and decided to give it a try. After that I stopped using Dior pencil. Why? Well there was nothing wrong with that pencil but it was just a shade (or two) too dark for my eyebrows. This kit is supposed to be for brunettes & blondes but in reality it can get really dark (sometimes too dark for my eybrows to look natural). But still the brush is just amazing and you can control the amount of color you get on your brows. If they get too dark (that happens quite a lot to me) you just sweap off the excess (gently). This kit comes with wax, a lighter shade for blondes, a darker one for brunettes, a pair of tweezers, a brush and a mirror. It's small and handy plus it's really cheap compared to Dior :D
4. BB cream from Skinfood
I got this one after my sister tried it out. It smells like lime grass and it covers up most of your imperfections. It's like foundation mixed with cram but it's good for your skin :) It is a whitening, anti-wrinkle cream and it has got SPF 20 :) If this is the first time you're hearing about this. It really helps your acne to go away and leaves your skin glowing. I did a review here.
3. Green tea overnight skin rejuvenating from Sweetscents
I was told about this one too by my sister :D It dries out your acne. It is a miracle product! You leave it on overnight and by morning your pimple is gone or at least half gone. And that is something! Here is the Sweetscents page that explains this product.
2. Essie Good to Go
An essential product for anyone who does their manicures at home! It really dries out your nail polish super fast :) No more smudging and ruining your precious fresh manicure!
1. Jojoba oil
I love it, no j'adore it! It's my Holy Grail :D This is really the best EVER product I've EVER tired! It's multipurpose and it's natural! I use it instead of my cream (this winter has made my skin extra sensitive and every cream irritates it), for my hands, on my dried hair (it's better that Tigi Curl's Rock Curl Amplifier - and it's natural) and as a makeup remover (just a few drops and everything goes away). Read more here.
That's all girls! :)
I will do all the missing reviews of this products so expect some (quite) soon :)
P.S. Most of the pictures were found on the web (except for Anti-body spray, False Lash Effect, Green tea overnight ... and jojoba oil)
What is your Holy Grail product?

Sweetscents package!
I finally got my Sweetscents package :) I ordered Green Tea Night Rejuvination Powder about a month ago and it finally arrived!
It was on special sale 13, 49 $ (and it still is!) instead of 26, 99 $ Click here
I've heard so many good things about this product that I just had to have it! :)
This is what I got: 23 samples in a bag, 1 sample in a jar, a travel kabuki and a travel brush.
How cool is that?
Last week I also got a necklace and a bracelet that I love! (it was a gift :)
That's all for today. Tomorrow I'm going skiing in Civetta :) And I will return on the 24th :)
Until than have fun!

Thank you for looking,
XOXO Parisky
