HAPPY HALLOWEEN 


Mile damy, Dear Ladies 


Vcera som bola na skvelej Halloween party. Vyzdvyhla nas limuzina, fotograf cakal pred barom, kde nas vsetkych fotil ako nejaky paparazzi, no total celebrity feeling to malo. Isla som za Lady Gagu z klipu Telephone, aj ked som nemala taku vybyjanu kozenku ako ona vlasy a make-up sa podarili ;) vsak posudte sami ;) 
Vy tiez oslavujete Halloween? Obliekate sa tento rok za nieco? 
Mate skor rady strasidelne alebo glamour masky?

I had a great Halloween party last nite, got picked up by a limousine and a photographer was waiting in front of the bar taking pics of us... it had a real celebrity feeling ;) fantastic... I was dressed as Lady Gaga from the Telephone video.... although I didn't have the studded jacket she wore in the video but I had the same make-up and hair ;) .... 
Do u get dressed up for Halloween too? 
What masks do you prefer? The scary or the glamour ones? 



Po ostatne roky som sa obliekla za Kleopatra, zena s 20. rokov 20. storocia, Audrey Hepburn a vampirka. Ktory kostym sa vam najviac paci?

In previous years I went as Cleopatra, Flapper girl, Audrey Hepburn and a vampire. Which costume do you like the most? 







 


HAPPY HALLOWEEN

FALL MUST HAVES , ... JESENNE NEVYHNUTNOSTI!

Mile Damy, Dear Ladies, 


Jesen je v plnom prude a my sa musime prisposobit... Oblecte sa, nalicte sa, navonavkujte sa a hor sa do najblizsej drogerie po novinky, ktore musite mat! 
V prvom rade je to tmavy ruz slivkovej farby, oh yeah! K tomu jemne licenie oci s metalickymi tienmi ako na obrazku dole. Namiesto pudrovej licenky pouzite ruz alebo kremovu licenku - ma prirodzenejsi efekt a lica vyzeraju sviezo - k nakusnutiu. Skvela riasenka je Dior Extase doda objem aj predlzi riasy. Trochu sa sice plasnete po vrecku ale ved si to zasluzite a je to DIOR! 

Fall is in full swing and we need to get used to it and go with it. Summer's over folks!!! ;)  Get dressed, put on some make-up and run to the nearest drugstore to pick up your fall essentials. First of all you need this seasons biggest hit - a dark plum lipstick, oh yeah! Put on some soft metallic shades and a cream blush instead of the powder one. Cream blush gives a more natural look and your cheeks will look fresh and dewy. If you don't have a cream blush you can use a lipstick. Great addition to your make-up kit would be a good mascara - Dior Extase, it's vollumising and lengthening. It will cost you more but it's DIOR ;) 







LOOKY Z PREHLIADKOVYCH MOL , LOOKS FROM FASHION SHOWS 


Dalsia vec, ktoru budete potrebovat je lak na nechty v tych spravnych odtienoch. Tuto sezu su to: zelena (temnejsie odtiene), slivkova (tmavo fialova), modra (atramentova, skoro cierna, proste temna modra), telova (ta leti vzdy). Obrazok dole vam pomoze s identifikovanim spravneho odtiena pre tuto sezonu.

The next thing you need is a nail polish in the right colors for this season. They are: green (dark or khaki), plum (dark burgundy, dark purple), blue (like ink, almost black, just dark deep blue), and nude (it's always in). The picture below will help you to identify the right shades for this season. 











Uzivajte si jesen, a jej farby, ktore su tak uzasne a ojedinele!

Enjoy fall and it's unique colors!!!

AKO ZVYRAZNIT OCI INAK, 5 WAYS TO ENHANCE EYES DIFFERENTLY

Mile damy, Dear Ladies, 

Opat som prezerala pinterest a chekovala nieco pre vas.... 

Kazda z nas mame svoj stereotyp, ako sa vacsinou licime. Rano sa ponahlame do prace tak rychlo daco hodime na seba a dame tri tahy maskarou a utekame do prace. Ak by ste si privstali o par minut skor alebo mali chut nieco vyexperimentovat takto z rana, tak mozte skusit tieto licenia. 

I was browsing pinterest again, trying to find something for you ladies...

We all have a certain stereotype when it comes to make-up. Something that we put on in the morning rush. We throw on some clothes, take three strokes with mascara and we're out of the door. If you have extra 5 minutes or you happen to wake up earlier, or you're just in a mood to experiment, why not try out these 5 different ways of enhancing your eyes. 


Dymove oci inak                                      
Napriklad namodro 
Smokey eyes with a twist
For example Blue

























Licenie s tmavsimi tienmi pod okom                    


Using darker colors underneath the eye































Viacfarebne licenie 
A splash of color ;) 






























Aha, vnutorny kutik oka, aj ty si tu? ;) 

Hello, Inner corner of the eye, I haven't seen you ;)



Linkam vstup zakazany!!! Sem mozu len tiene!!!

Eyeliners Keep Out! Only eyeshadows are allowed here!!!



Ak mate mis mas v tom ako nanasat tiene, tak nasledujuci obrazok vela objasni. Plati vseobecne pravidlo najtmavsi tien nanasame co najblizsie k mihalniciam a na vytvorenie V-cka vo vonkajsom kutiku oka, o par odtienov svetlejsi tien nanesieme do priehlbinky nad pohyblivym vieckom, ktore zas nalicime o nieco svetlejsim tienom. Cim blizsie k obociu sme tym su tienie svetlejsie a dokonale vytienovane.

If you're not sure how to use eyeshadows correctly, the next picture will explain it perfectly. There's one general rule: The darkest eyeshadow goes the closest to your lashes and creating a V-shape in the outer corner. Lighter shade goes to the crease of the eye and even lighter shade usually looks great on the eyelid. Closer to the eyebrows (brow-bone) you are, the lighter the shadows are and try to blend blend blend! ;)
