Hey babes!
I've purchased the makeup revolution products in late January and they came to me 4.5 weeks later. Not that bad for general mail services:)

Now I've tested all of the things and would love to share my experience with you. I've ordered non-pallettes products as everybody talks about  palletes and kits and things like that, and sometimes there are too many pallettes reviews but almost nobody talks about some other products of this brand.



For text addicted persons like me here's the post:

So lets start this post with the face primer.



The package came to me slightly deformed as an additional air pushes the product out of the tube and lid cant hold it inside. The product itself is great, gives very smooth texture and holds makeup perfectly. Comparing to ELF Hydrating Face Primer - this one is better. You can open a photo in a new tab and check the ingredients.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second one - The One liquid foundation in shade 2.


Its very light, weightless and gives nice coverage without cakey effect working best with primer. It matches pale skin so if you have a pale skin you can try this foundation.
Notice that it doesn't cover redness or any skin problems you might have.
The package is only 29ml or 1oz which is a tiny tube for me but its very cute and 5 drops are enough to cover the whole face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next one - Focus and Fix concealer in the lightest shade.

Kind of creamy more than liquid, very light.
Gives nice even skin tone but cannot cover redness, small imperfections and dark under eye circles, makes them slightly lighter though. Not bad to use together with the foundation. Personally I prefer 2in1 highlighter and concealer by ELF Studio to this one.

Moar!
Eye Primer. Huge matte eye primer!


Extremely nice and currently is the best among similar things I've used. A bit darker than I need but holds eyeshadow great and doesn't change its color. Same situation as with the primer - extra air pushes the product out of a tube when you open it. This lid holds product fine so its not a problem. And I love its package, purple is one of my favorite colors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazing inner eye brightener.
And its really amazing as its written. Perfect nude color. Love it, just love it.

Hey loves!
Hope you're doing great and feeling awesome!;)

So on Tuesday I was thinking about Balam from the Grimm series. I really love that series cause of all the creatures and effects and that books about creatures - no words, only emotions.
I've tried to recreate the fur pattern Balam has but I'm quite limited in things I can use cause its Central Asia baby, no chance to buy special effects products quickly. Though the creature is a complete 3d visual effect without any makeup.
Here's the link for you to read about it if you dont know the series http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Balam

And heres the pic of that jaguar-cat-creature



Now its time for you to judge about the makeup I've done inspired by this awesome jaguar.

Hey guys!
Havent seen you for about a week! I had exams and that took quite much of my time but at the moment I'm slightly more free and can finally post something.

I want to talk about the important role of a support in the internet bloggers life.
This is almost the main thing in this process. When you're doing something and post something you hope you're not the only one and really want to get some answer to things you're doing. When you write a review you would love to get comments or likes/shares cause it shows you're doing it not just for yourself. You want to share your experience with others.
I'm russian and live in a small country in Central Asia but I have an english blog and do not post in russian. Some of you can ask me why. And here's the answer. In the post-soviet area people do not really like others to become successful and some of they dont want to share that experience for free.  So in their opinion blogging is a wasting of time cause there is a tiny percent of bloggers who can become successful/famous/well known. They always say to stop it. If you post and in some time become well-known they think they are losers. If you do not achieve anything they become happy. Not everyone like this but it still exists. Also when you post something you will always get some negative comments or reviews. Yes, this is a part of sharing, critics are always here and not everybody can like you or things you're doing. I can accept this but instead of writing it in a key 'just stop, its awful' probably these critics can give some fine advice like 'you should work a bit on your technique here and here, add some shades here and replace one product with the other'. This will stimulate to grow and do not make your mood grumpy for the day. Its not that difficult to be nice. I'm writing this cause I had some negative comments and it was not surprising that I got them from russian people but that was weird to get them from a man. I mean - what can you know about makeup if you're general straight man that doesn't know how those things are even called? All they ask is to show boobs. Why? What for? If you want to say only this - just dont say anything, keep silence. I understand that there is a bunch of work to get proper skills of makeup artist but i'm learning everything on my own and it takes time.
Please support each other, be communicative, helpful and nice, especially with those who had just started.
And now its enough for a bad part and lets move to a good one^^

I've read Dalai Lama not so long ago and he has amazing words - 15 rules of a life, which I think fit great not even all people in common but our community of beauty bloggers in internet particularly.

1. Notice that a big love and a big success are always connected to a big risk.
2. When you lose you wont lose your accumulated experience.
3. Remember that things you want are not always things you really need.
4. Learn some rules just to know how to break them.
5. If you've made a mistake do something to fix it immediately.
6. Sometimes you should listen to yourself, being alone.
7. Fell yourself free but do not break the boundaries.
8. Remember that sometimes silence is a best answer.
9. Live a decent life so that in your old ages you'd have something to remember.
10. Atmosphere of love is a base of your life.
11. In disputes do not remind people about the past, talk about present.
12. Share your knowledge. This is the key to immortality.
13. Once a year go to a place you've never been before.
14. The best relationships are those when each half of a couple remembers of the other one.
15. Sometimes you should abandon something to get it.

Hey babes!

I've done a new video this week  trying to achieve a look I had in my head. The idea was to create a dark smokey eyes and red lips and ruin this look with big carved letter 'be mine'. I think I got this. Even though I'm not used to wear such dark colors.

The ELF beauty book for smoky look is damn amazing, colors are soooo soft and wears nicely. Though it can be a bit chalky when you take eyeshadow with a synthetic brush. I will attach swatches a bit later but the night version of the look you can check in my tutorial.

Wounds are done easily, Kryolan aquacolor works well anytime 8-) The key is to make the inner part darker, then white out the outer corners and add some flash/tan color in a three-five mm further than the white. You can use pinky red instead of brown.

Smoky eyes in this case are amazingly easy! Highlight the inner area and the brow bone, then add base color almost all over the lid and make outer corners dark/black and ... thats it. I've used the  clear tape to define the line, this help a lot, when you remove the tape just tap that areas with your beauty blender and done) You can use liquid liner to add cat eyes eyeliner which will look good with smoky eyes but I dont like liquid liners...

There is a post about ombre lips so you can use the full instruction I've made. http://whynotdragon.blogspot.com/2014/11/give-me-3d-kiss-ombre-lips.html

And the video is up on youtube. Feel free to contact me and don't forget to subscribe!

Hey babes! Sup?

This post is a review for ELF Studio Beauty Book - Natural Look.




I've bought this one in my local store, usually we don't have elf products in stores and I had to get them from amazon or ebay or other online stores (as elf itself doesn't ship to my small country) but this time... I saw this cute thing and got it immediately! I've got smokey look book too but will review it later as I don't really like to do my makeup twice or multiple times a day.

So the products price is extremely loyal for us and it definitely worth the buying.

Coverage is hard, two rubber bands which hold the cover, plastic sheet inside that cover, 6 eyeshadow, eyeliner pencil, applicator and primer. Also there is an instruction for both looks which is actually good especially for beginners.
The book says there are two looks - day look with 3 eyeshadow and night one with darker shades.



The texture is silky smooth and even shimmery shadows are amazing when you touch them with fingers *_*
The eyeliner pencil is soft, the shade is 'coffee', it would be very nice for brown/hazel eyes, mine are blue so the shade is kind of not for me) Primer color is very bright and it drys quickly so I've decided not to put it on my eyelids so I've used my basic Ingrid eyeshadow base.

Day time variant in this book is amazingly natural, I love it, would try the night one too and add the description in this post.
These are swatches on my hand in a natural day light and with the flashlight

As you can see colors are very light pigmented but still good and visible, on a primed area the look is better so I recommend to use base with this products.

And the final day look is:


I love the natural complete day look colors which fits amazingly my hair and brow color. Would definitely use this palette on everyday bases but with my own brushes, eyeliner and eyeshadow primer.
Btw my eyeliner is gel eyeliner from Eyestudio by Maybelline in color Saphir (sapphire).

Hope the review was helpful!
