A ZACINAME... THIS IS WHERE WE BEGIN (AGAIN ;)

Ahojte, Hey guys, 

(English is in blue writing) 

vitajte na mojom blogu ;) Som velmi podstena, ze ste si ho rozhodli precitat a dufam, ze vas zaujme. 

welcome to my blog, I'm very flattered that you decided to read it and I hope you're going to like it;) 

Tento blog povodne vznikol ako anglicky blog kedze som zila dlho v Irsku. No ako pozeram na situaciu na Slovensku tak je tu velky nedostatok bloggerov, ktory sa venuju kozmetike. 

I started this blog in English as I lived in Ireland for some time, but I decided to write it in two languages (English and Slovakian) because there's not that many cosmetic/fashion bloggers in Slovakia. 

Ja by som vam prostrednictvom tohto blogu chcela priblizit svet mody a kozmetiky. 

I'm dedicating this blog to make-up, cosmetics, fashion and things like that. 

Make-upu som sa zacala venovat uz v detstve, bol to velmi razny skok od hier Barbie s kamoskami k liceniu kamosiek a zalostnym telefonatom ich matiek mojej: "ako to zas ta vasa dcera zmachlila moju";) 
Mala som asi 12 rokov.
Postupom casu doslo aj mojej mamke ze sa chcem vzdelavat v tomto smere (alebo len chcela predijst tym telefonatom od matiek mojich kamaratok), vediet viac o liceni a kozmetike, tak mi kupila knizku o care make-upu, a potom nasledovali dalsie vsemozne knizky a clanky z Cosmopolitanu, ktory som uz v 13 rokoch kupovala mesacne a vzdy som skumala clanky o kozmetike a skusala na sebe rozne typy licenia. 
Studovala som anatomiu pleti a vedela som aky krem sa pouziva na suchu, mastnu alebo zmiesanu plet.
Dokonca som sa chcela vyucit za kozmeticku, no okrem make-upu som nechcela vykonavat ostatne funkcie kozmeticky, tak som vystudovala Obchodnu akademiu a popri skole som zacala pracovat na foteniach s fotografom, ktory robil portfolia zacinajucim modelkam. A od tej chvile som mala pocit ze som nasla svoje povolanie, odstahovala som sa do zahranicia a popri praci som sa stale venovala make-upu az nakoniec v Irsku som si uskutocnila svoj velky sen a robila som vizaz na plny uvazok a takisto som vyucovala licenie a nechtovy design na kozmetickej skole, no cnelo sa mi za domovom tak som sa vratila a teraz vykonavam tuto pracu tu. 

Make-up started fascinating me at quite an early age, it was a very sudden move from playing with Barbies with my girl-friends to doing make-up on them ;) and outraged calls from their mothers: " What the hell did your daughter "paint" on my daughters face???" I was 12 years old at that time. But it didn't stop me ;) (they weren't that angry anyway, the thing that probably bothered them is that their daughters had to walk the streets with that kind of make-up on ;)
I guess my mum realized that this is something that interests me more than Barbies, or anything else for that matter, so she bought me some books about make-up and skincare. I have discovered COSMOPOLITAN at pretty much the same time, there were wonderful pictures of models, make-up and fashion (although my mom did cut out the pages bout sex ;) they didn't interest me anyway at that age ;) ) I was buying Cosmo regularly at the age of 13, and had many books about make-up, I was testing different make-ups on myself, all the looks I saw in the magazine and I was obsessed. I was studying skin anatomy, different skin types, I knew what moisturizers each type should use, etc. I even wanted to go to cosmetology school, but I knew that besides doing make-up and things related to that I wasn't really interested in the other duties of a cosmetician, so I went to business school (smart move btw.:) During studies I started working on photo shoots with a local photographer, building my portfolio as well as the beginner models portfolios. From that moment on I knew I've found my calling. I've moved overseas got an admin job and after work I did make-up wherever I could and finally in Ireland I got to do make-up full-time. I also taught on a beauty school, everything from nails, eyebrow shaping, ... to make-up. I loved it. I was away from home for 8 years then and I was getting a bit homesick, I decided to move home to Slovakia for some time and now I'm doing make-up here, and I also started this blog ;) 

Kedze mesto, z ktoreho pochadzam je pre vizazistku male tak ponukam aj ine sluzby, ako napriklad pomoc pri vybere vhodnej starostlivosti o plet a dekorativnej kozmetiky, hodiny licenia pre zaciatocnikov - ako spravne pouzivat kozmetiku, ktoru vlastnime, dalej je to manikura, a manikura s gel lakom. O vsetkych tychto veciach vam budem pravidelne pisat, teda pokusim sa tak pravidelne ako to len pojde popri mojich povinnostiach.

Vlastne som aj taka mala fanaticka do mody a vsetkeho co sa tyka kozmetiky a skraslovania tela ;) a pestovania zdraveho sebavedomia, ktore mnohym zenam na Slovensku velmi chyba. 

I think I can call myself a fashion/make-up fanatic, basically anything that has to do with beauty products beauty treatments, blah blah blah. Also one thing that lot of women miss is SELF-CONFIDENCE and if God helps me I'm gonna try to help every woman I can to build a healthy self-confidence and  make them realize that with a right make-up everyone can look fabulous! 

Planujem tu pisat rozne rady a typy, a pisat vam o tom co napriklad pomaha mne alebo mojim kamaratkam. tak dufam, ze sa vam moje rady budu pacit a ze vam pomozu k tomu aby ste sa citili skvele vo svojej kozi a  aby ste vyzerali doslova NEODOLATELNE. ;) 

I want to dedicate the main content of this blog to tips and advices about what products to use, different products reviews etc. I do hope you'll find this blog helpful, and that it would help you to feel great in your own skin and look IRRESISTIBLE!!!
