Hey there, ladies! I hope you're doing well :)

Since the weather is getting super warm and we need a refresh, what's better than a yummy smoothie?
I'm about to show you a quick & easy way how to do the best & healthiest smoothie ever :)

I loooove them! They are super healthy and fresh. 

Things you will need:
- yogurt
- milk
- frozen fruit of your choice
- sugar
- mixer

You seemed to like my previous step-by-step tutorial, so here's another one. 

Well, the only things you need to do is mix together all of these ingredients. I'd recommend using frozen fruit for that nice texture. 
You can also decorate the cup, it's fun :)



I also want to tell you, that I want to do a Question/answer kind of post! You guys tend to send me emails with questions and stuff, so this post comes in handy. 
 If you want to ask me something, feel free to leave your questions in the comment section below.

| Where's the Bunny? |

Happy Easter! :)
I hope you're enjoying the Easter break! Today I want to show you a colorful makeup look that you can rock! 
It looks super cute and - of course, edgy. 

I've done a few of these tutorials in the past, but this time it will be a step by step edition.
You can see on the pictures the exact steps, so you can recreate this look very easily.

(click on the picture to see the details)

Of course I used a base and then I applied a beige eyeshadow. 
To make my eye appear larger, I used a soft brown eyeshadow and applied it to my crease.
Now comes the funnier part - I used a purple and blue color to my crease and only the purple color to my lower lashline.
Cat eyes time! You don't have to apply a black liner, you can skip this step if you don't like cat eyes - I personally love them :)
At this step I used a color tattoo eyeshadow and created a line above my black one.
Then just highlight, add a mascara and you're done.

Products used:
- Elf eyeshadow base
- Clinique eyeshadow in "Chocolate brown"
- MAC in "Top knot" and Catrice in "Rumble in jungle"
- She eyeliner
- Maybelline Color Tattoo
- "Foxy" from Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette
- The Rocket from Maybelline


I totally forgot to take a picture of the final result, so here's a little screen shot. I also added a hot pink lipstick.

I hope you liked this tutorial. Happy Easter :)

| My Table Essentials |

Hello everybodyyyy! Today I'm coming with something different.
I want to give you a look to another corner of my room. You can usually see only the corner where I have my jewelry holder and the names of my favorite designers.
Today I'm showing you my "table for everything".


I get asked a loooot to do a room tour (and I will do it one day, haha) but I don't feel like showing you my entire room, just not yet. There are many things that I would love to change, so you'll have to wait for the room tour :)


Guys, meet me little table for everything. I literally keep there everything I feel like keeping there. 

I always have some flowers in my room. Since the spring is officially here, I love keeping tulips in my room. They look so pretty!


On the left you can see my makeup station (which consists of my most favorite eye-related products & powders/blushes/bronzers.
Then you can see some of my brushes that I use on daily basis and my two favorite perfumes - Mademoiselle by Chanel and Luscious Kisses by Victoria's Secret. 
On the right I have my favorite lip products - mainly from MAC, YSL and Rimmel and the book that I'm currently loving - which is from the House of Night series.



On the top I have some eyeshadows that I use the most. On the bottom I have my Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay, some MAC, Maybelline, Rimmel and Essence eyeshadows, and then I have my Clinique and Dior palettes.


When my little makeup organizer is closed, I usually keep on the top my Victoria's Secret body butter, a lipbalm and my favorite nail polishes (mainly from Essie, China Glaze and Rimmel).



I hope you enjoyed this little sneak-peek of my room, maybe it even inspired you :)

| How Much Is My Face Worth TAG ♥ Current Makeup Routine |

Hello darlings! I hope you're doing okay! 
A few days ago the lovely S. tagged me to go the How Much Is My Face Worth TAG. I was super happy about that, so here it is! 

I've been wanting to do an updated makeup routine post anyways, so this is a great opportunity to do it and plus - you can also see the prices of the products that I use (almost) daily.

Obviously this tag is for fun - don't take it seriously. Your value has nothing to do with how much/little makeup you wear. You're amazing, no matter what, remember that :)
And also - I'm guessing that the price will be quite high, since many products that I use are high-end. I love drugstore products, don't get me wrong... but I like to save up for something that will be unique and special to me, but mainly I go for an amazing quality - why should I have tons of inexpensive products that I don't even use because they suck?

Well, let's see these godies ... 


I start off with a primer, to even out my skin. I always use the Stay Matte Primer from Rimmel. It doesn't smell nice, but it works quite good and keeps my face shine-free.
I mentioned in one of my favorites post, that I like to use these two foundations together - Catrice's Infinite Matt and Maybelline's Fit Me. I can create the shade that matches my skin tone and these two are the perfect combo for my oily skin.


Then I like to set my foundation with a powder from MAC and after that I contour using Elf's Contouring set with a blush & bronzer (I only use the bronzer part). 
The next goodie that I use is a blush - lately I've been using this mousse one from Catrice, it's a baby pink color.


I looooove filling in my brows!!! It can change up my look so much! I've been using this Lancome brow pencil for a year now and I absolutely love it! If you can get your hands on it, make sure to purchase it.
Moving on to the eyes - I start off with this eyeshadow base from Essence. 


Okay and now... for my soft smokey eye look I always use the lightest shade from my Dior palette, then I continue with this tiny MAC eyeshadow (crease part) and then I blend everything together with the darkest shade from the Essence palette. I also highlight with the lightest shade from the same palette.


I'm a huge fan of cateyes and dramatic eyeliner looks. I've been using this eyeliner from S-He for 5 years! It's definitely my ultimate favorite.
Many people tend to ask me whether I use false eyelashes, and the answer is - no! I have never used them. I don't even know how to apply them, but I definitely want to try it!
To get that "false lash effect", I use the Rocket mascara from Maybelline and after it's completely dry, I use the Big Boom mascara from Astor. 


I love nude lips! They are perfect for the spring time. I recently got this Apocalips (liquid) lipstick from Rimmel (it's super pigmented), but it looks way too nude on my lips so I love to pair it with my YSL lipstick. They look perfect together.

So this is my current makeup routine. Now let's see how much are these products worth...

if my calculator is working properly, the price of these products is 215€!
Oh my ... this number is crazy!!! I wasn't expecting this! I'm literally speechless!



And a selfie of my makeup look :)

Well, I tag all of you to do this, and make sure to leave a link in the comment section below! I'd love to see you doing this tag :)

| What's in My Purse? |

Hello everybodyyyy!
Weekend is almost over (oh no), I hope you enjoyed it! 
Today's post is quite requested, so I thought I would do it! It's an updated version of What's in my Purse. 


I got my purse a few days ago, so there's no mess in it (yet, haha). I love that it looks like a Céline bag (I adore their purses) & I also love that it's a black&white combo. 
It's super big, which is great - I tend to carry lots of things with me. 


This is how it looks like! Ahhhh, I'm in love with it! It also came with a strap so I can wear it on my shoulder. I usually keep the strap inside my bag since this way the purse has that elegant feeling.


Now, this is everything I usually keep in my bag. 

You already know my wallet, I had it in my last What's in my Purse post, as well.


I cannot leave the house without my makeup bag (you know this one as well, again). I usually keep in here a powder (MAC), some eyeshadows I wear that day (in this case it's this Dior palette), tons of lipsticks (I keep three in my makeup bag, other lippies are somewhere in my purse), a brush (Urban Decay), eyebrow pencil (Lancome) and a lipbalm (Labello).


There are the lippies from the purse itself - Apocalips from Rimmel and some lipsticks by YSL and MAC.



I always carry with me a full size perfume bottle, as well as a mini one (Kenzo and Prada). Then you can see my sunglasses, a magazine, my iPod Nano (I need to charge it ASAP, haha) and some tissues.



I can never leave the house without my agenda, either. I always like to write down my thoughts, plans, post ideas and other stuff! Plus, it's super cute!

When I go to school, I always throw my current nail polish color to my purse, as well!  


Last but not least - almost the most important thing - my phone. As you can tell a own a Windows phone. 
If you know any website with  cool cases, let me know. 


Well, that was it for today, I'll see you again!

Stay fab!

| Currently Lovin' ... |

Heeellooo!
How are you, guys? This week was simply cray-cray, haha! Well, I haven't posted anything for a week, soooo that means it's time to do so!

It's Sunday afternoon, I'm super lazy... so I decided to do a random post for you.

I'm currently obsessed with dainty necklaces, I wear them every single day! I was never literally obsessed with any kind of necklaces, but - hands down - I am now!


These two are my darlings! They are tiny but really cute at the same time!

Dainty necklaces are quite popular nowadays. Even if you're not a "girly" girl, you can still rock them!

I also want to show you 2 random outfits (one for each necklace) that, in my opinion, look super cute with these necklaces!




This first outfit is super girly and vintage, of course. 
I paired a Peter Pan collar top (ehhhh, you know me)  with this pretty floral skater skirt. I like to wear my litas with this outfit since there are some green leaves on the skirt, so it's a perfect match. 



(when it comes to this outfit, the color of the top and the color of my litas is the same; it looks different because of the material and studio lights) 

This next outfit is more of a casual/edgy one. I went for a simple button up top and a black skater skirt with this cool print!
I also added some knee high socks (I'm obsessed with these as well) and my litas.


Well, that would be it for today. I hope this post inspired you. 

Ronnie

Note: the shoes are only "look-a-likes"

| Hard Out Here |

Hello everybodyyy!
Today I'm here with an outfit post, yay!

This one might be quite naughty for someone... since not everyone would wear the tights that I'm wearing, but I freaking love them! They are so edgy!


I look super tired on the picture, but try to ignore that please.

I also paired the whole look with some lace socks. You know I love lace!



I also wore this dainty necklace and some nuckle rings.



This pic is super random, haha! 


I hope you liked this outfit!
