What I got this week: Urban Decay's NAKED 2!

Happy Good Friday everyone!!! 

So since Easter is right around the corner my mom knows it's time to get us some presents! It might sound kinda crazy, but yes - we all share some presents on Easter. No worries - nothing too big or too pricey.

My mom knows also, that I've been wanting Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette for so long so she decided to get it for me. So here's the review and my thoughts. Enjoy! 





So this palette contains 12 eyeshadows - some of them are shimmery and some of them are with matt finish. 



The palette also comes with an eyeshadow and a crease brush which I absolutely love! I love how it works and I must say it really does blend the color very well. 


Now onto the shades: 

Foxy is an yellowed beige with a matte finish. It's quite sheer and it works perfect if you use it as a highlight color.

Half Baked is a brown color with a golden shimmer-sheen. This color is very very pigmented and it has a smooth texture and it is also in the Naked 1 palette. 

Booty Call is a peach-tinted beige with a frosted finish. It's also a new color on this palette.

Chopper is an orangey red color with a flecks of shimmer. 

Tease is a mauve-brown with a matte finish. This is the only color that is not really pigmented so take your time and make sure to apply enough color so you can actually see it on your eyelid.

Snakebite is a dark bronze with a dirty golden shimmer-sheen. On the other hand, this is the most pigmented eyeshadow on this palette. 

Suspect is a soft champagne-bronze with a metallic sheen. I must say this color feels a little bit powdery. 

Pistol is a brown color with a dirty finish. The texture of this color is smooth and really soft. 

Verve is a gray color with a pink tinge. I googled and I found out that this color was in the Rollergirl palette

YDK is a quite warm color with a redish brown finish. It's also quite pigmented.

Busted is a deep color with a dark purple undertone. This is my absolutely number one color! 

Blackout is the most pigmented black color I've ever used! It has a matt finish and a really great payoff. 




I love this palette so much and I'm definitely getting the Basics as well!

Saturday Randomness by Ronnie ep 1 - Goodies I purchased in the last 2 weeks!

Hey all!
While I was watching Harry Potter (and The Half-Blood Prince) I was thinking that making my own "weekly episodes" would be great! So I came up with Saturday Randomness by Ronnie. 
I think the name of it sounds good and I'd be fun to share with you some random things I like or hate, haha!

So basically Saturday Randomness by Ronnie will be about everything and anything. You'll see some of my favorite products I've been using lately, favorite clothing pieces I want to get or even some goodies I purchased (HAUL) and I'll be posting anything random I feel like I want to post.

Sooo, I hope you find this interesting and definitely let me know what random things would you like me to share with you.


And speaking of Saturday Randomness by Ronnie, since it's Saturday - the first episode will be about goodies I purchased in the last 2 weeks!

Okay, so the first goodie I purchased is this mini Clinique Eyeshadow Palette with these four beautful nude colors.
I think this is a limited edition, since the eyeshadow colors are picked from different editions. It also comes with an eyeshadow brush which I don't use and I think I never will.






The next thing I want to show you is an eyeshadow by MAC in the shade Concrete. As you can tell it's a grey color that looks absolutely gorgeous on your eyes. It's also really pigmented and it stays on your eyes for a really long time.





This is another eyeshadow by MAC in the shade Top Knot and if you watch my videos you probably know that I used both MAC eyeshadows in my previous videos. This one is also super-duper pigmented and I have no idea why, I know it looks like it's a blue color, but it's actually purple.






This is a lipbalm by Essence and believe me or not - this is simply the best lipbalm I've EVER used! And I've used quite a few so far! It's in the shade Fruit Crush. I wouldn't say it's pink, although I know it looks like it's pink but it's more of a red color. Oh, and I need to mention that it's quite sheer, which is a plus. 






I totally needed to buy a base under my foundation and I found this one by Essence as well. First when you apply it, it looks orangey but as you massage it into your skin it turns out to be smooth and you barely can see that you actually applied anything.





I also needed an eyelid primer ASAP since I'm running out of my Elf one, so I bought this by Essence (as well, haha). It doesn't feel wet when you apply it, it looks natural and it makes your eyeshadows last forever!
So I'm happy I got this!




Last but not least - when I saw this powder brush I needed to buy it! It's super soft and gentle and that's all I can say! And I'm not sure but I think it's from their limited edition & it's by Essence. 



Love you all, xoxo

Easy Ombre Leopard Nail Tutorial

Oh hey there! Are you a fan of ombre style? Well, I kinda liked it when it wasn't really famous. Now, when everyone has it, it feels ordinary and not something special.

However, ombre style is very popular so I decided to "pair" it with leopard print. I think they look great together!

You just basically paint your nails with a base color and then make random lines with a toothpick. It's really easy and up to you how it turns out. I like to pair pastel colors with black leopard print. Make sure to try this out, it's super-duper easy!

Of course this post can't be done without some pics:





I hope you guys liked today's post :) See you next time :)

My current favorite LIPSTICKS!

I'm sure that every girl that loves makeup has her favorite lipstick that she uses all the time! Well, I have 3 favorites!

Please note that these are my current favorites and my favorites usually change every week or month, haha!



So the first lipstick that I want to show you is by Rimmel (Kate's Collection) in the shade Rossetto. It's a beautiful bright red color! 



The second one is by Elf in the shade Flirtatious. I usually don't like pink lipsticks, but I fell for this one and plus - is smells amazing!



And the last one (I'd say my ultimate favorite) is by Miss Sporty in the shade Love Me. It's this gorgeous nude color, but it's actually quite sheer and that's what I love about it! 



If you want more posts like this one, please let me know :)
