To be honest I bought Lancome Shine lover mainly because of the packaging. I was immediately drawn to this beauty in white and silver.

It took me some time to form an opinion about this product. In all honesty, I expected to like it much more. I bought the palette with the clear vision that I won’t use the bronzer at all.

Last year I couldn’t get my hands on the holiday Laura Mercier Caviar stick set despite the fact that I really wanted it. That’s why, this year when it became available online, I immediately bought it.

I like lipsticks, they are my favourite makeup item. The word parfait is in the name of the new Laura Mercier lippie and it was enough of a reason for me to buy it. This is my first Laura Mercier product.

On July 27th LUSH released a make-up line called Emotional Brilliance. The collection has liquid lipsticks, liquid eyeliners, eyeshadows, a mascara, a powder, a bronzer and a highlighter.

I bought MAC and Patricia Bright’s collaboration lipstick when I travelled recently, I have no idea whether this shade is available in Bulgaria. The color looked like a darker version of MAC Whirl but it turned out to be a very dark gothic shade.

My all times favourite make-up brush is MAC 222 blending brush. I recently found out that MAC has discontinued it and it can no longer be found in the MAC stores and can be difficult to buy it even from Ebay.

 I'm a huge fan of the MAC lipsticks and I'm always excited when I hear there's something new on the horizon. Powder Kiss is a new matte formulation, which is supposed to not dry out your lips. 

If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I managed to find a MAC store with Back2MAC (not in Bulgaria) and I exchanged my MAC empties for some lipsticks.

I really like the Max Factor foundations. I even prefer them over most of the high end alternatives. When I saw the new CC colour corrector sticks I just had to try them.

I know that probably a lot of people will disagree but for me Max Factor foundations are the best. I've tried almost all foundations in their range and I've never been disappointed.

I've never been very interested in Max Factor's eyeshadows. When I spotted the Smokey eye drama kit in 03 Sumptuous Golds in the blog MakeupSavvy it was love at first sight. I really liked the colours.

I've mentioned before that I really like Max Factor foundations. Their new release is the mouse Whipped creme foundation. It promises a demi-matte finish and skin hydration.

Maybelline Color 24h Tattoos finally came out in Bulgaria. I have to say that I am really impressed by this product.

The Maybelline matte lipsticks are finally available in my country. Sadly we got only four shades - 2 reds, a bright magenta colour (I liked this one the most, but I have a lot of similar shades) and a light pink colour (the one I bought).

If you are trying to save your money I highly recommend you not to repeat my mistake. Don't go into a drugstore. At the moment there are a lot of amazing new beauty products. Among them are the Maybelline Color Whispers. 

The new Maybelline eyestudio Lasting Drama gel eyeliner is definitely the most waterproof gel eyeliner that I have ever used. Maybelline warns you on the packaging of the product that you will be needing eye make-up remover for waterproof make-up, that you should close the jar tightly and clean the brush after every use.

I am always curious about the new liquid eyeliners on the market. My newest one is Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner. It promises ultra thin 0,4 mm line. My favourite liquid eyeliner is L'OREAL Super Liner Carbon Gloss.

There aren’t many face contouring products in the drugstores. The new Maybelline Master Sculpt received a lot of positive reviews so I decided to try it.

If you follow my blog you probably know that I love rosy neutral eyeshadow shades. Maybelline The blushed nudes palette got a lot of positive feedback so when I saw in the drugstore I grabbed it.

The Maybelline nude eyeshadow palette is finally available in Bulgaria. I was way too curious about it so ended up buying it. 

I don't know what is going on with me lately but I just can not stop buying new eyeliners. The worst part is that there are more out there that I want to try. My new ones are Rimmel waterproof gel eyeliner and L'OREAL Super Liner Ultra Precision Diamantissime.

I’ve been waiting to publish this post since it was springtime but I was patient because these shades are so perfect for fall. Every year in September I become obsessed with makeup in blueberry colours. I have to warn you that if you see these products in person you may buy them, the colours are really gorgeous

Today I want to share with you which are my favourite beauty products this summer. Definitely the best product this summer for me is Maybelline Dream Fresh BB.

I was going to write about my top 10 Christamas holiday lipsticks but I realized that in this category I just have an absolute favourite. Max Factor Colour Elexir lipstick in the colour 865 Mulberry is a really unique dark red with a very interesting sheen to it.

It was so foggy outside in the last few days that taking photos was just impossible. I bought a few products from the Christmas collections and I can't wait for the sun to come out again. Today I decided to talk about my Inglot eyeshadows because this post is long overdue and the photos were on my computer.

I haven't been as excited about a new beauty product as for the new YSL Babydoll Kiss&Blush for quite some time. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I ordered the shade 08 Pink Hedoniste the day it was first launched at feelunique.com.

OPI is my favourite nail polish brand. Today I want to share with you which are my top 10 OPI nail polishes for the Christmas holidays.

The NARS Audacious lipsticks are quite popular, but sadly we don't have NARS here in Bulgaria. Despite this fact, just from the swatches online, I managed to fall head over heels with one of the shades - Silvia. When I saw that it is available on the Selfridges website (link) I just had to order it, it is a Selfridges exclusive.

I really like the formulation of the new Nars eyeshadows, I own a few shades in the Narsissist palette (review here).

I’ve been kind of missing lately, but I hope that I’ll have more time for my blog now.

The Christmas makeup collection that impressed me the most this year was the collaboration between NARS and the photographer Steven Klein. To be honest I wanted everything from it, but I had to restrain myself and got just one product. I chose the single eyeshadow in the shade Stud.

I really want to try the NARS Velvet Matte Lip pencils, but here in Bulgaria we don't have NARS and their products are not very affordable. When I heard that Maybelline are releasing their version of these pencils I was very excited.

Today I was planning to write about a book that I didn’t quite enjoy, but I had a pretty bad day today. So I decided to talk about a product that I like instead.

I really like the NYX Butter glosses and I own four shades.

NYX Strobe of Genius illuminating palette is just genius. This highlighting gem got so many rave reviews that I just had to order it.

OLE HENRIKSEN pure truth melting cleanser is one of my new favourite skincare products. This is my first product by the brand, it sounded really interesting.

During my New Year's Cleaning I realized that there are products in my collection that I just never use. Some of them are pretty expensive or have a beautiful packaging and I will feel bad trowing them away. This post will be devided into a few parts because sadly I have a lot of products like that.

Happy New Year!

I haven't written in a while but I have a lot of posts in mind for the next few weeks. A huge problem for me is the cloudy weather. All my photos look awful.

I don’t like matte lipsticks and I can’t wait to wave this trend goodbye. There’re a lot of new gloss-stick type of lip products lately.

I took the photos for this post last summer. These lipsticks were an impulse purchase. I was mostly attracted by the packaging, which reminds me of the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. I would say the color is pinkier, but I still like it.

This post was supposed to be a summer post, but I am behind my blogging schedule.

Work, work and more work! That’s my life lately. Even at this moment I have so many other things to do, but I decided to choose my blog this time and write a post. Rimmel Oh my gloss! oil tint was an impulse purchase I did two months ago.

Rimmel is a brand that is popular with its lipsticks. When I saw the new The only 1 lipsticks in the drugstore I couldn’t help it and I picked one.

The new Dior lipsticks - Dior Rouge Baume are 2 in 1 product - a lip treatment and a lipstick in one. I have very dry lips and I was so excited to try them. I bought the shade 688 Diorette - a raspberry red colour.

I am quite impressed with the latest Dior lip products. At the moment I am using the lip gloss Rouge Dior Brilliant and I really like it. These lip glosses were released earlier this year.

It is official - I am the laziest person on the planet. This review was supposed to be published this summer. This is the reason why you can see a pineapple in the photos.

Last year I published my Christmas wishlist (see it here). Yesterday I bought the last item on that list - the new Kindle Paperwhite.

Today I decided to take a little break from writing the long posts with my 2014 favourites and tell you about some Golden rose products that I've been using lately.

These are my first products from the Italian brand KIKO cosmetics. The main reason for that is that they don't have a store in Bulgaria. Their website ships to Bulgaria though. Last week I saw that they are having a huge sale that includes their spring collection Boulevard rock (everything is 50% off) and their summer collection Life in Rio (everything is 30% off).

Some new beauty products that I bought recently.

I ordered three lip glosses from the Tanya Burr collection by eye CANDY the day it was released on feelunique. It took me quite some time to write a review.

The blonde salad (link) is one of the most popular fashion blogs. This summer the Italian blogger made a collaboration with Superga that was so successful that the sneakers were sold out after only a few days.

The Dior mascaras are quite famous, but the real reason I bought the new Diorshow Iconic Overcurl mascara was the gift with purchase that goes with it - a mini 5-color eyeshadow palette. This palette is just adorable!

I was buying lip balms like crazy lately and a lot of them are egg-shaped. So I decided that they’re going to be a great topic for today.

I’ve never been a huge fan of highlighters. Becca products have special place in my heart, but overall I’m not too keen on shimmer on my face.

Illamasqua is a brand that sadly can not be found in the stores in Bulgaria. Their English website ships to Bulgaria though. Not too long ago I made my first order and I am very pleased with the products that I bought.

Too Faced released a few quite interesting Christmas palettes this year. I bought the small palette that looks like an iPhone 5 called Jingle all the way. I really like the idea and I think that this product can be a pretty fun Christmas present.

I’ve been wanting to try the lip balms by the brand Jack Black for a long time. These are Temptalia’s favourites, Christine uses them to recover her lips after swatching all the lipsticks.

The most popular lipstick this summer was definitely the one that Kendall Jenner created with Estée Lauder. It's not very easy to find, I think you can get it only online. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it.

After I read so many positive reviews of the new Golden rose lip glosses, I decided to give them a try.

Last year I bought for the first time the popular L'OCCITANE shea butter hand cream (you can read more here). It is now one of my favourite products.

L’Oreal released new lip glosses and of course I just had to buy two. I’ve been using them for a week now and I quite like them.

Just before I walk out of the drugstore yesterday I spotted these new Maybelline lipsticks. The price is quite affordable - 3 euro, so I couldn’t resist and bought two of them.

I am a huge fan of the Nivea lip butters and when I heard that they have added three new flavours to the range I went and bought all three of them.

I ordered this lip base a while ago from the NYX website. It was available in two shades so I thought that it’s one of those lip products that are similar to a concealer and are meant to discolour your lips so the lipstick can show up in its full glory on top of it.

Today I'm going to talk about another interesting NYX product - the matte lipsticks. They received a lot of positive feedback and from the swatches online I really liked the shade Whipped Caviar. This is one of those 90s colours inspired by Kylie Jenner.

Some women look amazing with red lipstick. One of them is Julia from Galmeetsglam.com (link). When I saw in her blog the lipstick Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream in the colour Stilleto red, I immediately bought it.

The brushes are very important for your makeup. When you have a full-time job or when you have to travel someplace, it is very hard to carry them with you.

My purple obsession continues, so expect a lot of purple products here on the blog. Star Nails Bulgaria contacted me a while back and allowed me to pick a nail polish shade from their range.

I am not a makeup artist but I have always wanted a makeup bag. Unfortunately these professional accessories are usually quite expensive. Just before Christmas Zoeva released on their website The Zoe bag and I immediately ordered it.

Zoeva website (link) delivers to Bulgaria now. The brand is famous with its makeup brushes which are really good quality and are quite affordable. I ordered some not too long ago. I need some time to test the brushes before I review them. Today I am going to write about their makeup mirror which I really like.

Tom Ford’s makeup range got a lot of hype in the blogging world. I was kind of skeptical about it because his makeup was mostly sent to popular bloggers and it’s really expensive.

You all know by now how much I love lipsticks. I’ve been wanting to try the Tom Ford ones for ages, but they are quite pricy.

This post took me forever to write. I was so busy at work and when I finally had some time to edit photos in the evenings, I was just exhausted.

To write a post with the best beauty products of the past year is not an easy task. That's why I decided to write three posts. Today I am going to show you my top 14 drugstore beauty products of 2014.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who's the fairest beauty product of 2014!
I have to admit that high end beauty products usually come in gorgeous packaging. This is the last post of the posts with my 2014 favourites.

This is the second part of the post with my top 14 high end beauty products of 2014. You can read part 1 here. My next post is going to be with new products.

I haven’t tried many Essence products. I wasn’t impressed with their eyeshadows (you can read more here).

Urban Decay released a lot of new products and to be honest I liked them all.

After I saw the photos of Vice 4 online I felt relieved, it looked like I won’t be buying any expensive eyeshadow palettes this Christmas. Then Urban Decay surprised us all with their collaboration with Gwen Stefani.

There are three Urban Decay NAKED palettes packed with beautiful neutral eyeshadows. I needed some time to convince myself to spend a little more and get one of their individual eyeshadows. I totally fell in love with the shade Desperation.

Preparing the photos for this post took me a week. Apparently I am totally out of shape when it comes to blogging.

I am a huge fan of the Urban Decay Naked palettes. I own the first three and I think that they are worth it. When I first heard about the new Naked Smoky palette I knew that I have to buy it.

I really like the Urban Decay NAKED eyeshadow palettes. I've been wanting the NAKED Flushed palette for a while, it conatains a blush, a bronzer and a highlighter.

Urban decay released a new NAKED palette and I couldn’t resist it, one again . I blame the song from the ad, just couldn’t get it out of my head (it’s Royal Jelly by Deep Valley, if you are wondering).

You know how much I love lipsticks so I’m sure it looks weird that I’ve never written about a liquid matte lipstick.

A few years ago Urban Decay released a limited edition eyeshadow palette in collaboration with Disney’s movie Alice in Wonderland. I couldn’t get it back then, but I really liked it. Alice in Wonderland is such a pretty movie.

I was looking for a good hydrating night cream for quite some time now. Usually my skin really likes Vichy skincare.

I really like Vichy and I use a lot of their products. Not too long ago I tried their cream called Idealia. My skin really liked this product but my eyes and my nose disagreed. The problem was that it was very strongly scented.

I haven't written a post in this series for a some time. Usually after the success of a high end beauty product the drugstore brands come up with a more affordable dupe rather quickly.

When Clinique Chubby sticks were originally released I really liked the idea. The product showed up on Victoria's secret fashion show, on the Tv shows Hart of Dixie and Prettty little liars.

Guerlain Meteorites bubble blush was a part of the Guerlain spring 2014 collection. I wrote a whole post about it, you can find it here. Sadly it was a limited edition product and it is no longer available. When I was placing my KIKO cosmetics order a few weeks ago I saw KIKO Cheeky Colour creamy blush, which looks a lot like the Guerlain blush and of course I had to order it.

I decided to start a new blog series called War. In these posts I will be comparing beauty products with similar concepts. In today's post the war is between L'ÓREAL Super Liner gel Intenza 24h in the colour 01 pure black and MAC fluidline in Blacktrack.

I’ve always loved bright pink lipsticks and Candy Yum Yum was on my radar ever since it was released with one of MAC’s limited edition collections.

I suffer from extra dry and flaky lips for as long as I can remember. I usually choose to wear only hydrating lipsticks which of course does not last very long on my lips. The lip bases are a good way to transform the lipsticks that are too dry.

Wakey wakey, makeup lovers! Beautylovesbooks here with a new gossip about our favourite It girl Blake Lively. Everyone knows her and everyone is talking.

I wanted to try the YSL Touche Eclat foundation for a while. I finally gave up and bought it. This product is the foundation version of the famous highlighting pen YSL Touche Eclat.

It took quite some time for me to buy the highlighting pen YSL Touche Eclat. This product is quite expensive and its reviews are pretty contradictory. Not too long ago I tried the Touche Eclat foundation and I wasn't that impressed by it (you can read my review here). I have to admit though that I am in love with the highlighting concealer pen YSL Touche Eclat.

This Christmas Yves Rocher released three new lines of limited edition products with different scents - Vanilla Lemon, Candied Mallows and Apple Delight. I liked the Vanilla Lemon scent the most. I bought three products from this line - the shower gel, the hand cream and the lip balm.
