Hello lovelies,
I've been searching on the internet for some fun tags, as I wanted to be more personal than usual, but still I wanted to do something beauty related. I found this tag call Would you rather? in beauty edition and decided to go for it :) I don't think there's anything left to say so let's jump right in (right under the Slovak introduction)
//
Ahojte krásky,
určite poznáte posty typu "tags", ja som hľadala nejaký tag, v ktorom by som vám mohla prezentovať niečo z môjho života, ale pritom ostať na úrovni beauty. Našla som "Would you rather?" tag, ktorý ma zaujal otázkami s touto tematikou. Bohužiaľ, otázky sú v angličtine ako aj moje odpovede, ale ak by ste mali záujem, rada Vám tento post preložím do slovenčiny :)
Vidíme sa v ďalšom poste...zatiaľ sa majte :) želám Vám krásny týždeň!

Would you rather...? TAG
Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?
I would definitely go out with messy hair and nice make-up...eventually it happens to me most of the time, as no matter how long does it take me to make my hair, after 30 minutes it looks like as I haven't even brushed it
Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
OK, this question is way too creepy! :D but the more I think of it, I would rather shave my eyebrows as there is always a possibility of drawing them back on, even though it looks like poo :D
Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
In my country we have neither of them, but knowing both stores I would go for Sephora ;)
Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
the first one
Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
rather obvious foundation as it happens to women in Slovakia a lot and the people don't seem to notice, the overdone blush would be more noticeable
Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
please don't make me choose, I just can't :D
Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
I don't use any tanning products, but if so then gimme tan lines :D
Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
Hmmmm, quite hard to answer...but I would go with a bad hair color
Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?
Twitter, I am a cheater I don't even have an account :D
Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
I would rather...give up mascara, but it would be a very hard and sad farewell!
That's all my dears :)
I hope you enjoyed it! If you have done one of these funny tags on your blogs, leave links in the comments :)
I am looking forward reading them!
Kisses,
Carina...

...tips and tricks: how to save time in the mornings...//...tipy a triky: ako ušetriť ráno čas :)
Hello lovelies,
tommorow the week starts again, so I am coming with my small tips and tricks how to save some time during hectic workday mornings. I am lucky enough I don't have to wake up tomorrow early, as I have finished all of my finals for this semester so I can enjoy some time-off. But Sunday is the perfect day to share with you my little tips and tricks on time saving.
As I've mentioned before, I never leave my house without being fully in "glam", I do my make-up and hair every single day and I have to confess my routine requires a plenty of time.
It takes approximately 15 minutes for me to wake up, wash my face, teeth and prepare my breakfast, the make-up and hair routine approx. 35 minutes and to dress up including leaving the house an extra of 10 minutes.
One may find this morning routine to be way tooooo long and unnecessary, but for me it is the perfect time...I just love to drink my coffee, eat my breakfast and enjoy the "me-time".
But I have to tell you, that I had to come up with some trick, which would lessen the amount of time I need to get ready and I would like to share them with you.
Hopefully, you will find them helpful and as there's nothing more left to say here they are:

Hopefully, you will find them helpful and as there's nothing more left to say here they are:
- check the weather forecast to know what will you have to deal with the next day
- according to it, prepare your outfit
- prepare also your accesories, shoes and coat (if needed, easier in the summer)
- think of the make-up look or hair you would like to rock
- pack all your stuff, put your keys into your purse, as well as your wallet and all the small nicknacks you will need the next day
- if you aren't having lunch in a restaurant, prepare it beforehand, I am sure it will be much healthier and more tasty if prepared without hurry
- don't stay up late and don't forget to set your alarm clock :)
- in the morning, let the coffee machine prepare your morning drink while you are concerned with your hygiene routine
- go along with breakfast such as a croissant, oatmeal,etc. something easy to prepare
- when doing your make-up skip products, which may require more time to apply (such as eyeliner), the key is to make it simple :) dramatic looks are for evening!

Ahojte krásky,
zajtra sa nám znovu začína ďalší pracovný týždeň, preto som sa rozhodla podeliť sa s vami o moje maličké tipy a triky, vďaka ktorým sa mi každé uponáhľané ráno darí ušetriť spústu času. Na zverejnenie tohto postu som si nemohla vybrať lepší deň než nedeľu.
Ako som vám to už prezradila, nikdy nevychádzam z domu neupravená. Každé ráno si spravím make-up a upravím vlasy, aby som vyzerala ako-tak k svetu, ale musím sa vám priznať, moja ranná rutina ma ukracuje o dosť času.
Približne 15 minút mi trvá kým sa prebudím, umyjem si tvár a zuby a pripravím raňajky, spraviť si make-up mi trvá asi 35 minút a ďalší 10 strávim obliekaním sa a odchodom z domu.
Niekomu môže pripadať moja rutina zbytočne dlhá a nepotrebná, ale pre mňa je ráno vždy pohodové...milujem sa kľude naraňajkovať a vypiť moju kávičku, bez toho sa môj deň proste nemôže začať.
Ale kým som si vedela užiť ráno, musela som prísť nato akými trikmi by som vedela skrátiť čas potrebný na prichystanie sa, aby som zvyšný ušetrený čas mohla stráviť tak ako ja chcem. Za tie roky sa mi to už dosť dobre podarilo vypracovať, preto sa s vami o ne chcem podaliť :)
Dúfam,že vám prídu nasledovné triky a tipy užitočné :)
- pozrite si predpoveď počasia, aby ste vedeli čo vás čaká nasledujúci deň
- na základe predpovedi si prichystajte outfit
- prichystajte si aj drobnosti ako doplnky, topánky, kabát, atď
- porozmýšlajte nad make-upom a vlasovým stylingom
- pobaľte si všetky veci, ktoré budete nasledujúci deň potrebovať, nezabudnite si do kabelky uložiť aj drobnosti ako kľúče, peňaženku, aby ste ich nemuseli ráno pri odchode hľadať
- ak sa nestravujete v jedálni, prichystajte si váš obed už večer, som si istá, že bude zdravší a chutnejší ak bude pripravený v kľude :)
- choďte skoro do postele a nezabudnite si nastaviť budík :)
- ráno si dajte variť kávu/čaj počas toho ako sa venujete ranným hygienickým činnostiam, kým skončíte už bude určite hotová
- na raňajky si dajte niečo ľahké - croissant, jogurt, cereálie, atď...niečo nenáročné na prípravu
- vynechajte produkty, ktoré potrebujú viac času na aplikáciu napr. očná linka, kľúčom k peknému, upravenému look-u je jednoduchosť, dramatický make-up si nechajte na večer!
//
That's all my darlings for today, hopefully you enjoyed reading :)
Share with me your tips and tricks, maybe I will find some interesting new ones!
Na dnes je to odo mňa všetko, dúfam že ste si čítanie užili!
Podeľte sa somnou o vaše tipy a triky, možno sa priučím nejakým novým :)
Kisses,
Carina...

...the magic of make-up...//...zázrak menom make-up :)
Hello lovelies,
as promised, today I am coming with a brand new beauty post.
I've been thinking what would I like to write about today and I decided to create a "face of the day" type of post, but with a small alternation. I am including two photos, one on which I am having naked face without a drop of any product and another on which the magic has already happened - me wearing make-up a.k.a face of the day. I would like to give you some tips how I conceal all of the small imperfections, which I think a lot of us have and fight them every single day.
I don't think I have ever published a photo of me without make-up and I can't even recall the last time I was outside without make-up (grocery shop doesn't count). Make-up has become a staple part of my daily routine, when I am going somewhere. But it's time to reveal the "ugly truth"...so enjoy reading :)
//
Ahojte krásky,
ako som sľúbila, dnes Vám prinášam nový beauty post.
Dlho som rozmýšlala o čom by som chcela dnes písať a napadlo ma, že by som mohla vytvoriť post v štýle "Face of the day" (tvár dňa), ale s menšou zmenou. Do tohto postu pridám fotku s tvárou nielen po aplikácii make-up, ale aj pred. Mám taký pocit, že som ešte nikdy nič podobné nespravila, bez make-upu nechodím ani na krok (do potravín sa neráta). Make-up sa stal stabilnou časťou mojej dennej rutiny, až tak, že si život bez neho už ani neviem predstaviť.
Rada by som vám v tomto poste poskytla tipy ako zahaliť vaše drobné nedostatky, teda ako ich "odstraňujem" ja, pretože viem,že mnohé z nás ich máme a snažíme sa ich čo najlepšie ukryť.
Tak je načase pustiť sa do toho...
1, in order not to have massive breakouts from foundation and all the stuff I put on my face, I begin every make-up application with washing my face with water and applying a toner // každú aplikáciu make-up začínam tým, že si umyjem tvár vodou a zvyšky nečistôt odstránim pleťovým tonikom
2, to even out my skin and mask my pores I use L'oreal Dermo Expertise Skin Perfection, this product is such a gem...comment if you would like a review on it :) // na zjednotenie tónu pleti a zakrytie pórov používam L'oreal Dermo Expertise Skin Perfection, tento produkt je proste úžasný!
3, having a more oily type of skin, I use a mattifying product as a primer mostly Bioderma's Mat //
tým, že mám mastnejšiu pleť, potrebujem zabezpečiť, aby sa moja pleť cez deň neleskla, ako primer preto používam Biodermu Mat
4, as you might see I have terrible under-eye circles, I have to use multiple products to mask them - my holy grails are Garnier's Roll On and any concealer in pink/salmon tones // ako vidíte, mám hrozné kruhy pod očami, používam viacero produktov na ich zakrytie, ale mojimi najobľúbenejšími sú Garnier Roll On a akýkoľvek korektor v odtieni ružovej/lososovej
5, everytime before applying make-up I prime my lips with any lipbalm, it makes such difference // pred každou aplikáciou make-upu si nabalzamujem pery, kým dokončím svoj make-up mám ich pekne hydratované :)
6, to make my face look skinnier and nose thiner, I contour my face // efekt tenkej tváre a úzkeho nosa sa mi podarí docieliť kontúrovaním
7, never forget to apply a small amount of light shade to your tearducts, it makes you look more awake // nezabúdajte aplikovať svetlejší tieň na vnútornú stranu vášho spodného očného viečka, vytvára to efekt otvorenejších očí
8, if you are not feeling like wearing a ton of make-up keeping your routine quite simple, but you are still lacking something, add a pop of colour by using a dark lipstick // ak vám chýba nejaká farba z tváre, ale necítite sa nato,aby ste na nej mali veľa produktov, dajte si tmavší rúž...dodá vám to nielen sebavedomie, ale oživí celú tvár :)
Sooo here you are, my 'face of the day' // tak nech sa páči, 'tvár dňa':
Products I used // Produkty, ktoré som použila:
1, Bioderma Sébium Mat Anti-Shine fluid as primer
2, Maybelline Affinitone Perfecting + Protecting Foundation with Vitamine E in 24 Golden Beige
3, Garnier Roll-On Anti-dark circles stick
4, Make Up Factory concealer stick
5, Pupa Smoothing and Fixing Eye Primer
6, Rimmel Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer in 030 Classic Beige
7, Catrice Allround Concealer Palette
8, Rimmel Match Perfection Ultra Creamy Compact Powder in 303 True Nude
9, Gosh Bronzing Powder in 02 Natural Glow
10, Rimmel Lasting Finish Blush in 001 Spring Flower
11, Catrice Highlighting Powder
12, Catrice IntensifEye wet&dry eyeshadow in 030 Vanilla Sky Ride
13, L'oreal Contour Khol in 131Noir Intense Jet Black for upper lash line
14, Maybelline Master Smoky shadow pencil in Smoky Black for lower lash line
15, eyebrows: eyebrow set by Essence and Essence clear gel mascara
16, ArtDeco Long Lasting Liquid Liner
17, combination of 2 mascaras: Maybelline OneByOne Volum' Express and L'oreal Volume Million Lashes
18, lipstick/rúž by Avon Colordisiac in Instant Attraction

...revived blog and changes...//...môj blog ožil :)
Hello lovelies,
after such a long time I decided to come back :)
It's been approximately half a year since I haven't written anything, but I just didn't find the meaning of keeping this blog alive at all. Till today there aren't any comments or any feedback, which would persuade me that it is worth keeping this blog.
I've been thinking for a past few weeks of reviving this blog...because, very simply, I am missing talking about make-up and stuff related to it, in my "real" life there's nobody who would make a good conversation partner in this field and this blog always provided me place for it.
So I decided to make some changes :)
I will be writing shorter posts, but they are going to be both in English and Slovak.
I hope you don't mind :) I feel that there are so many good bloggers, who own English blogs and here in Slovakia we lack blogs, which are concerned with such themes as make-up and beauty.
I hope it will work out :)
I will be back in a very short time :)
Until then I am wishing you a nice week!
//
Ahojte :)
po prvé....vitajte na mojom blogu :)
Môj blog existuje už niečo vyše roka, ale toto je prvý post v slovenčine!
Dlho som rozmýšlala, či mám začať písať články v slovenčine, ale povedala som si prečo nie :)
Väčšina mojich článkov bude aj v angličtine, bolo to tak od začiatku a túto tradíciu meniť nechcem. Ale, predsalen, slovenčina mi umožní predstaviť tento blog aj dievčatám zo Slovenska, však módnych a beauty blogov v angličtine je na nete nekonečno a slovenských tak málo.
Ako ste si to už možno všimli môj blog je hlavne o kozmetike, móde a občas aj tak trochu o mne.
V reálnom živote nemám veľmi možnosť rozprávať sa o týchto témach, preto sa ,dúfam, budete zapájať do tohto môjho virtuálne sveta aj vy :)
Čoskoro sa vám ozvem s beauty postom...
zatiaľ vám prajem pekný týždeň :)
...kisses, Carina...
