It IS indeed fantastic, how unexpectedly you can discover some secrets to your OWN perfect looking complexion! I never though I am going to be the one who will mix the two foundations together to get the right color and texture. And the one who will be using baked eyeshadow in order to contour! And again.... the one who is going to buff a blush and a cotour together to get that perfect fresh skin look.. Before i thought that for that fresh skin look the only thing you need is the actual fresh skin;) But you do not always find yourself during the time of the day with perfect skin, right... SO today Clarins Teint Eclat Mat+Chanel Pro Lumiere worked a miracle for me. I use the 30th shade named Shell from Chanel and amazingly - the shade 05 with the same name from Clarins. They are differrent though. Both in texture and color. And density too. Chanel contributed to the healthy look of my skin and Clarins to the mattified rather than "greasy looking" skin. I have to admit though that I topped it off as well with Clarins Translucent Loose Powder. Without it my imperfect (and emphasized by Pro-Lumiere) skin texture would look.... mmmm...not so flattering. Anyways, following Teresa's advice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qse47Uehfwc&feature=channel on contouring and blush application: I used Turkish Brand Flormar - baked eyeshadow - from their selection Double Effect collection - number 06. As a contour. And used a blush from Eddie Funkhouser (Amway palette) Starlight Diva - the darker one. AND!!!!! Last but not least - Laura Mercier Travel Size Cheeck Color Brush!!!! So soft! Here are the products I used:

Those are in terms of Foundation. But i also Have Covergirl Lash Blast Volume on my lashes.

Thanks for reading if you have done so.

I am very happy with the result:

sad but true

That is just so true: And it is not only about the Youtube Gurus, but also in real life - you can never and will never benefit from saying the truth and being 100% honest to people.

Childish but

The kid's whims can also be a distinctive feature of a grown up....

In my case it is almost sad.

I want something. Unfortunately almost always having the ways to achieve things pretty fast, i tend to run ordering, buying etc.... and eventually (sometimes as fast as the next day, sometimes - in months) I am left realizing that this was just another caprice of mine... what are you gonna do....?

Three things.

Three very exciting thingies are coming up into my makeup stash, which i am so very excited about! Those are: Chanel Pro-Lumiere Liquid Foundation:

Lancome Renergie Lifting Liquid Makeup:

Kohl Eyeliner Pencil "Smolder" from MAC:

Body members:)))))))))

I recall the time when my classmate used to call his fellow friend "you are Member" and it is funny twice as much. Because in russian the basic meaning of this word means Penis... and right now this video I guess confirms all the complexity behind this simple word;)))))

How a person you never met can boost up your mood!

Feelin' GooOOd!

Do not know wh.. slept the whole day till 3 pm
Went out for errands...

Maybe because of the vitamins i started taking....but it is only the first pill:) what will happen when I really get into taking it?:)))

Can't wait for thursday or friday when we go out. Miss my friends.

Cravings

Very Current cravings of mine. It should be a wonderful combination!

Down by the sea

Yesterday I did not blog. I "rested"....after my oversleeping;) and the sea walk... and the final meeting with family friends: Oksana and Alex.
And thei "child" Theodor!

Was fun and refreshing all in all. We're planning on visiting the movie theatre later this week for Wall street: Money never sleeps. And Oksana's place for Napoleon cake;)

Now surprisingly still (7-16pm) wearing pajamas and two pairs of socks I am blogging shortly to continue working.

FOTD attached.

Yes to Tomorrow

I cannot believe it! 80% of what I planned - done.
Yes-way too late..and yes - incomplete. but it is a definite progress and motivation for tomorrow.

Red eyes

New day. WOke up late and after the shower was shocked how red my eyes looked:(
All red ad i could not believe that simply going to bed later per three hours could do that.
As for competition. I failed: no movies, a lesson (not as much as I wanted though), no abs, sleepy, tired of doing nothing basically.
Tomorrow will be very different!

Promise.

To manage

Is it real or ever possible to manage doing everything during the day, what you have planned?
WHat is the key to managing everything before you have to go to sleep?
Is it possible at all? again: is it real?
To me it seems from my personal life experience, that either this is way too much that I plan for the day. Or I am too lazy - doing stuff that is not concerned or connected to what I actually planned.
Tomorrow (later today) is going to be a Challenge day.
I will try to manage the following things in one day:
1. Work (all the basic, compulsory stuff);
2. A lesson with a student in downtown;
3. Visit to a movie theatre after 7pm;
4. Making a plan on the development of the map of dreams;
Extra "feeling Super" tip: 40 times ABS!

Yeah, that is a challenge so i better go to bed.

Make Up

I love make up and everything connected to making people beautifuler. I know there is no word of that kind but i still like it.
I learned today that i may be one of those 20 or something percent of women living in big cities who are make up addicts.... or beauty addicts.
Although for some reason I do not have the major part of the symthoms;)
To me it is a huge pleasure to see the BEFORE and AFTER done by myself. I learned make up first of all from Marlena the Make Up Geek.
And Kandee the Make Up Artist.
I love-love-love both of their Channels: Marlena's Youtube Channel & Kandee's Youtube Channel. They both are very professional and creative.

They taught me lots more than just makeup.

I now am proud amateur in Make up.

By Ukrainian measures i own very much make up products. Waaaay more than i can use up. Still we learn as we live and i am trying very hard to change my "the more the better" approach to "better less but better" as a slavic saying goes.

Those are the two of my most beloved and truely gorgeous ladies, on whom I have done make up so far....

birthday afterparty mood

People come and go from your life for different reasons every time. Maybe it only seems that it is different reason every time??? 

I am wodering if it is common for everybody or just only for me to get out of touch with people and then torture oneself with memories and things that "might have happened but never actually did..."?

Silly thing because you should only live with future...and forget the past because future is the only thing that may change your life.

At the same time without the past there would not have been any experiences. And you most likely would mess up all the following times in the same manner if you did not have your past....

Today I met someone and it turned out that despite being extremely unpunctual she is a great positive personality.

And I do find it amazing that knowing my husband for almost 4 and a half years I do manage to discover new wonderful and exciting  things in him!!!!!!!! I cannot describe the feeling when i do!

It is nice to rediscover people and things. The most important things in life though are not actually things at all: and this is a wonderful discovery too. 

New Beginning

This is my first time in blog place so I would start as I know and feel.

First of all it is 21st century outside and eventhough I live in Ukraine it is common and normal for any contemporary adult (21 or more) to master English language.

May this look like an online public diary or whatever. But my intent is to make this a place for my thoughts and also i want this to be useful for other people.

The biggest dream of mine is to find common thinkers and realize that I am not the only one thinking "certain way" in this World.

My current job is an interpretor and written translator. My profession is teacher of English and German Language and Foreign Literature.

You can find me here as well as write me on tetjana.sorokowa@gmail.com.

Thanks for attending and rading.
