May Favorites!

Hey buttercups! I missed you!
May is (almost) over and I really cannot believe it! Seriously, it feels like I posted my April favorites yesterday! I'm also very excited for the summer vacation! Have you guys fixed your marks yet? 

I didn't even want to do a May favorites because I feel like this whole month was a rush and trust me or not - there were some days when I didn't even want to wear a makeup. I didn't wear anything dramatic this month, I always went for something neutral and soft. 
I ended up finding some thing that I've been using a lot and I thought I could you share them with you guys. 


I have only 6 things I was obsessed with this month, but I will show them anyways because they are totally amazing and they worth buying!
You can get them from your local drugstore or a high-end store.

Soft & Natural Foundation by Essence - I got this foundation a month ago so I was like - let's use it and we'll see. Since my skin doesn't have any imperfections, I'm good to go with a light coverage. This foundation gives this kind of coverage and my skin looks also matte for a long time!

Kajal Black Eyeliner by Essence - I would never thought that one day I'll use a kajal eyeliner! I really hate this kind of eyeliners (or at least I did) but I've had this one for a long time. I don't use this on my waterline though (ewwww) - I use is as a regular liquid or gel eyeliner! 


Color Surge Eyeshadow Quad by Clinique -  You know this palette very well, I used it in some of my videos but I never exactly adored it. Until now, haha! I love the first color as a highlight, the second one as an eyelid color, the third one as a crease are the fourth one for a dramatic touch up! And there we go - the eyemakeup is almost done!

Liptick in #2 Silky Sensual by Yves Saint Laurent - This is a loyal friend of mine! However this lipstick was pretty expensive it's totally worth the price! I would say that this is a lipbalm, lipstick and a soft lipgloss in one! Plus - it goes with every single outfit I wear.


The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara by Maybelline - Is there anyone who doesn't like this mascara? If so, you must be out of your mind! This is simply the best mascara I've ever owned! It doesn't make your lashes clumpy or sticky. It expands them and it looks like you're wearing falsies!

'V' Perfume by Valentino - You know that I adore brands like Chanel, Dior, Prada or Valentino (and much more). When I got this perfume from a friend of mine I was really happy. I'm quite bad at describing scents so I can't tell you how this smells like, but trust me - it does smell amazing! Since this is a high-end goodie as well as the lipstick, it was also quite expensive.


The song I've been listening to like crazy would probably be Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis!



Well, these would be my favorites for the month of May. What about you - what have you been liking? Make sure to leave a comment below.

REVIEW: Christian DIOR 5 Couleurs Iridescent Quint Summer Star 549 Eyeshadow Palette

Hello loves!
When I saw that I got a mail this morning, I was so happy because I knew what goodie will be in a package. Yes - today I finally got the Dior 5 Couleurs Iridescent eyeshadow palette in the shade Summer Star.


The colors are really amazing and good quality, quite shimmery and blend quality. The good things is - you won't have any glitter fallouts. Dior Iridescent eyeshadows have the softest, creamiest wetlook texture that does not crease at all - not even on oily eyelids. 



There's a beautiful peach gold and a pearly pink, a dark bronze and a bronze gold and then a light peach color.
I think the colors are perfect for the upcoming season! 


Package quality: 95%
Rating: 98%
Price: 60$ (45€) order HERE





Please note, that the pictures are slightly edited. The colors are different in person.


I'd definitely purchase this item again! Overall it's a great piece that you should own if you're a beauty junkie like myself.

I hope you like this post. I'll see you all very soon.

Hello lovelies!
I really hope you liked my latest video. If you haven't seen it, make sure to watch it.
I have some news for you... or not. Well, I finally have an Instragram account and I'd love to get a follow from you. My name is GlitterySecret, so you can find me there.
Do you love Instagram? Well, I feel like I became a junkie! There are so many beautiful filters (or however you call it), it literally takes me a few minutes to pick the most beautiful! I also feel like taking pictures of everything!
I've already posted some pics, take a look at them.

Oh, and I'm also starting a new section or series (whatever) called My Week In Pictures - every Friday or Saturday I'll re-post the most exciting 'picture moments' from Instagram.
You guys will be able to get to know me even more and find out what I love.
I really hope you will like it as much as I do.

PS - I'll be also uploading my outfits, so stay tuned.

Stay amazing, xoxo

Saturday Randomness by Ronnie ep 8 - My Favorite Clothing Stores

Hello again. I know I'm late with this post but I seriously did not know what this episode of Saturday Randomness should be about. 
I asked some cool people and they told me to do a post about my favorite clothing stores. 


Well, every girl that is a fashion junkie like myself needs some stylish clothing pieces. At first you need to purchase them, of course. There are some high-end stores (Chanel, Dior, Hermés), then we have the stylish clothing stores (Zara, Mango, F21, Urban Outfitters) and then we have the local stores with no names.
I don't have an ultimate number 1 store that I love the most, no. When it comes to season sales, every single store has a lot of amazing deals to offer. 

Bershka tends to have the most stylish sales ever! You can get amazing clothing pieces literally for free! I remember when I got a peplum blouse for 4€ - amazing, huh? I know...
Terranova has amazing sales also! The skirt that I'm wearing in my latest video is from that store. I'm so glad that I got it and I wear it all the time. 

Zara is one of the most favorite clothing stores of mine. I have a bunch of amazing clothing pieces from there. You can get some pricey pieces as well as some inexpensive ones. The quality is amazing and plus - have you ever tried their perfumes? Ahhh, they are amazing!
Boohoo.com is my new obsession. Yes, it's a website with a free shipping to Europe - oh my! If you haven't heard about this website yet, make sure to check it out. Your package usually arrives in 5 days and their Sales section is full of amazing deals! 

H&M is a traditional store that everyone loves. They have some beautiful and good looking pieces as well as some shitty ones (sometimes). I mean - you gotta love this store anyways.
Mango has some good deals as well. I love their Spring collection this year, especially when there's the amazing Miranda Kerr. I wouldn't tell that I love this store to death but sometimes the sales are good.


Well, that's it for the 'mall' stores. Of course I love the local stores, too. Trust me - there is a time when they have even more beautiful pieces than the stores I was talking about. 

What are your favorite clothing stores? Let me know.

xoxo, R

Another Mini Drugstore Haul

Hey girls!
I did a little shopping on Tuesday but I wasn't in the mood to post it or something, plus - it's almost the end of the week.
You know that everytime I go to the drugstore I buy something. It doesn't have to be a huge shopping, sometimes I don't even like the things they sell. 
I totally wanted to buy some new lipstick as well, but believe me or not - every single lipstick was used. I mean - you could see that is was opened more than one time. That's why I hate drugstores - people open the products that are for sale, the never use the testers to try out the product.


I got a mini eyeshadow palette from the brand Paris Memories.  It was purchased on the same day when I had my little shopping though.
I really do love the colors, I haven't wore them yet but I tried them on the back of my hand and they are quite pigmented!
Do you know this brand? My mom has a foundation from this brand, she got it a long time ago. I don't even know if this brand is high-end or not.





Another things I got is a Color Tatto in Turqouise Forever. I'm not a huge fan of Color Tattos since they tend to crease, ehh. But when I saw this color I remembered that Bethany used the sam one in one of her new videos. It looked really pretty on her lower lashline! Do you like these Color Tatoo eyeshadows? They are good because they are waterproof which is great.




I've been using the same eyeliner for 3 or 4 years but now I got a new one from Essence called 2 in 1 Eyeliner Pen. It has a thick and a thin side for soft and dramatic cat eyes. I mostly wear only the dramatic version, I'm sure I'll use both sides though. 





I've been using a concealer a lot for the past two months so I decided to buy this one. At first I wanted to buy the Catrice Concealer palette but I knew that I wouldn't use the colorful concealers, so I got this one by Essence called Match to Cover Concealer. Do you own it? I think it works great and it wasn't pricey either.




Last but not least - I also bought my fifth Essence Kiss Love Care lipbalm. I personally love these, I think they are even better than the Baby Lips ones from Maybelline. They are super mousturizing, they smell and taste good, ahhh. Which one is your favorite?



Well, that's it for today, I hope you liked this post.

Saturday Randomness by Ronnie ep 7 - The Most Favorite Beauty Brands!

Hello loves.

 It's been a while since I posted anything. I got home at 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday was quite busy and I rather won't talk about Thursday & Friday. 
But we made it to another weekend, which means it's time for another episode of Saturday Randomness. In this episode I'll tell you something about the most favorite makeup brands of mine and I'll also tell you which product from their brand is my ultimate NO 1. 


I love makeup, obviously, I buy I lot of makeup and I also own some pieces from high-end brands. I'm not trying to show off or so. I'm not paid for this post and all opinions are mine and 100% honest. 
So let's go ahead and get started.

MAC

Everyone's love. I personally adore MAC products. They are an amazing quality, long lasting and they are so cool! I love the design of the goodies, especially the lipstick, haha (they remind me of tampons). Yes, MAC is a pricey brand, but you pay for the quality.

My favorites: Lipstick in Lovelorn and Eyeshadow in Top Knot



Urban Decay

Having the NAKED palette is a rule that cannot be broken. Especially if you're a beauty guru. Urban Decay itself isn't that awesome. I mean I like it, but if the NAKED edition didn't exist, the brand wouldn't be very famous. I almost forgot about the Primer Potion. This is another amazing thing.

My Favorites: NAKED 2 Palette and UD's Primer Potion



Yves Saint Laurent

Another amazing brand and amazing quality. Their lipsticks are moisturizing as lipbalms and they also taste good, haha! The only things I don't like about the products is, that sometimes you can't find the name of the shade of the product. The name is usually on the box. But why would you keep the box?

My Favorites: YSL Concealer and Lipstick in Silky Sensual #2



Maybelline

In my opinion, this is the best drugstore brand. They have good products as well as some bad ones. The quality is good so are the prices. However, there is one edition of products that I don't like - the Color Tattos. They look really cakey, even after using an eyeshadow base which makes me sad. 

My Favorites: The Rocket Mascara, Color Sensational Lipsticks




ELF

The cheapest brand I know! The quality is quite good and the package of blushes remind me of NARS blushes. They are super cute and pigmented. Their nail polishes are long lasting and the eyeshadow palettes are an amazing quality!

My Favorites: Blush&Bronzer Duo, Lipstick in Flirtatious




That's it for today, I hope you likes this post. 
xoxo, R.

Another (Mini) Drugstore Haul, Late Birthday Presents & My New MAC Lipstick

Loves...
Since it was my birthday and I didn't give myself any present (haha) I decided to visit a local drugstore.

I didn't have the exact product that I want to buy, I only knew that I wanted to buy something. 
I got some amazing deals and I definitely want to share them with you. 
I also got some late birthday presents today and I didn't really want to mention these actually, but I fell in love with the necklace I got. It's from a friend of mine, we sit together all the time, we like to drink coffee together and have a chit-chat about fashion and newest trends so she knows my style very well. 

I almost forgot! I ordered a MAC lipstick a week ago and I finally got it in a mail today. It's in the shade Lovelorn, it's really moisturizing and feels amazing on my lips. 



but now on to the haul itself... 


So the first thing I got is the Rocket Mascara by Maybelline. I've been wanting this for a long time but I've heard some good things about it as well as some bad things. Well, screw that, I bought it anyways and I really cannot wait to try it out.





Another thing I got is a Color Tattoo by Maybelline as well. It's in the shade Pink Gold (gold? where?). I personally love Color Tattos but after a while they turn out to be cakey so I make sure to always use a primer.





The next thing I got is the Soft&Natural Makeup by Essence. I wanted to get my favorite Clear&Matt one but they didn't have it anymore so I bought this. It looks great on my skin and I don't need to wear a full coverage so this makeup is enough.




I love Miss Sporty nail polishes just because they look pretty on your nails for days. I bought this one in the shade 251. It's this beautiful brown color with some shimmers in it. And it's quite awesome but I apply only one coat.



Last but not least, this is the necklace I was talking about. It's gold, as you can tell and lately I've been loving any gold accessories. What do you think about it? This is definitely my style - edgy and vibrant!




I hope you likes this post. Thanks for your support :)
