TimeWithYana: Beauty Review

Trying Out L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation

I might or might not I have a thing for L'Oreal foundations. In my opinion, they are the best ones you can find in the drugstores! So when a sad moment came and I ran out of my trusty True Match, I already knew I will end up standing in front of L'Oreal counter again.

If you read my previous post, you already know that although I enjoyed using True Match, when it comes to foundations I prefer experimenting, so instead I picked up the Infallible Stay Fresh 24 Hours foundation. Do I need coverage for 24 hours? Nope. Nonetheless, that fact attracted me to this product like bees to the honeypot. Anyway, let's see what the fuss is all about.

This foundation has slightly thicker formula than the one that I'm used to. It provides medium to full coverage, depending on how much product is applied. However, I need to point out that it isn't super cakey and gross on skin. In contrast, once blended well, it feels weightless and doesn't melt down at all.

Infallible Stay Fresh has a really nice semi-matte finish. My skin type is combination and I tend to get oily on the forehead throughout the day. But this goodie, alongside Rimmel Stay Matte powder(read my review here), keeps me non-shiny for hours and hours. Following this further, I don't think I would suggest it to those of you who have very dry skin: you might end up with dry patches.

Oh, and let's have a moment to fangirl over the scent of it. That typical L'Oreal makeup scent. Am I the only one who absolutely adores it?

I haven't had chance to test out if Infallible 24 Hours foundation stays on for the entire day, but I have this strong feeling it would actually hold up to what it promises. Overall, this is an amazing product and I have nothing but only positive things to say about it.

Have you tried out Infallible Stay Fresh foundation yet or planning on purchasing it?

Another what I'm super excited about is *drum roll* my new blog design. Yeah, if it's the first time you decided to check out my blog since pink&hearts&Godknowswhatlayout, then hi, you haven't followed new blog, it's still me, haha! I need to hear your thoughts on it! Do you like it? Is there anything else you think I should improve?

I'm so happy that I finally got around to letting go old design - I'm sort of sentimental - and changing everything I didn't like. Not going to lie, as cheesy as it is, this slightly feels like a new page in the life of my little blog.

Thank you very much for visiting my blog ♡

What Is More Exciting Than New Makeup Brushes?

What can be more excited than new makeup brushes? The answer is: probably nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love lipsticks, palettes, etc, but brushes are different.

Whatever people say, but makeup brushes play one of the most roles. For example, your foundation might be very good whilst brush is an absolute crap, means you won't be able to blend product as nicely and will end up with cakey look. So, before blaming any of your makeup first have a look at brushes. At the same time, it is not important to always spend an entire fortune on them. There are actually some good low-price brushes, you simply will need to do a bit of research.

If you gave me these 1Pc High Quality Cosmetic* makeup brushes, I would never ever guess that each one is around 3$. To be honest, I even might like them more than couple of my Real Techniques ones. I know, sort of pure craziness.

I honestly swear by this flat brush. No matter what I use bb cream, full or middle coverage foundation, it somehow manages to create flawless skin look with airbrushed effect. I can easily fool others that I wear zero product on my face which obviously can't be bad. Also I should add bristles are soooo soft and gentle that sometimes I spend about twenty minutes blending because you know, feels so nice to the touch :D

Another brush I got is tapered one. Personally I prefer using it for countouring. Again, this one is amazing as well. The pointed end is just perfect for applying bronzer on the face. I think it will work great as highlighter brush too.

Frankly speaking, I was slightly scared whether bristles would fall out once I washed these brushes. But that didn't happen!

I would really recommend having a browse on Born Pretty Store if you are looking for new makeup brushes or alternatives for ones you already own. Or if you fancy a little splurge in general as there are another wonderful goods on this website too. By the way, you can get 10% discount by entering YALH10 at checkout!

Do you save or splurge when it comes to makeup brushes?

Alien by Thierry Mugler

Such a shame I had not mentioned it on my blog before. But I feel like I need to. Let me introduce you to Alien by Thierry Mugler. The most mysterious and elegant perfume in the world.

To be honest with you, Alien, bought back in 2012, is my first "adult" scent. First love lasts forever, even if that is just a fragrance. Yet it is surely not "just" a perfume. I use this one so often that I now can't imagine myself without Alien.

As soon as shop assistant showed me it, I knew I am not going to leave without making a purchase. Afterwards I simply couldn't stop using it everyday, however, as my collection grew a little bit I kind of put it aside. At the end of August I was cleaning out skin care/makeup/body care/etc products and my hands finally reached to Alien again. Yup, I am now crazily obsessed.

I mean, look at it. Even at first sight, it catches everyone's attention easily. Purple multifaceted bottle with gold details rather seems to be a lost gemstone from the past than simple perfume bottle. It speaks for itself , "Try me," maybe in slightly daring manner. In my opinion you can somehow imagine the scent by seeing such design.

I 100% suck at describing scents, so click here if you want to read about its notes and stuff, whilst I am going to tell what it actually does with you and your image.

Every time I wear Alien, I feel special, powerful and unique. It is definitely not a light fragrance yet not going to give you headache. This rich, intoxicating, sensual scent will make people turn their heads at you, only in a good way. You will be getting lots and lots of compliments. It also going to boost your confidence like an invisible alien-ghost friend who is always reminding you that everything is in your hands and you will achieve it if you truly want to.

If you want to become a mystery for others even for one night, ask Alien to help you. And it will.

What is your all time favourite perfume? Let me know!

Have a nice weekend :) x

August Favourites

Dear Hair, I Do Care

Hair care was something I did not pay enough attention to. Shampoo on a shelf, yeah, cool, it is all I need. Actually it is not.

I started obsessing about trying out new hair care products around May this year. There was couple of good offers in the shops, so I gave them ago and that is how it all began. I can't exactly say this time consisted only of good experiences. YOLO, lol!

Right now I have only few products I tend to use on a regular basis. Of course, my collection/routine is yet to grow. So, if you have any recommendations, I would be happy to read about them.

As you can see from the photo I kinda fell in love with two L'Oreal products. Extraordinary Oil has already been mention on my blog in December Favourites, but Fibrology Thickening Shampoo is a new discovery. I heard different opinions about the last one and wasn't sure whether I should or no give it ago. Soon after Gabriella aka velvetgh0st in one of her videos said this shampoo actually works, the decision towards it has been made.

Speaking about Extraordinary Oil first, I constantly question myself how I managed to survive most of my years without using any hair oils. It literally has turned my life upside down. If your hair is also slightly frizzy, untamed hair as mine, I highly suggest you trying it. Thanks to this L'Oreal oil to my hair now looks a lot more healthier, shinier and silkier. Almost a dream, I guess? It is even my second or third bottle! I also have couple of trick with hair oil, but I'll probably leave it for the future post *wink wink*

Have you ever grabbed a shampoo bottle, read all a huge list of all that exciting things it should do with your hair and... Put it back on the shop shelf. Yup but L'Oreal Thickening Shampoo 100% doesn't belong to those. Okay, obviously I haven't noticed any changes in five days or whatever it says, but this product does a job - that is all I require. Thin hair has never been in the bag of my problems, but I still wanted a little bit more texture to it. About two month are gone and I can see a noticeable difference this shampoo made to my hair. First of all, it now grows a lot faster. Second of all, it is now a lot more thicker. In a nutshell, I loooove this shampoo. And my hair seems to love it too haha.

Anyway, today is also the 1st of September. My friends, welcome back to hell whether it is school, college or uni. Good luck. We will need it :D

Hugs, hugs and kissed x

One Palette. Three Looks.

Can you imagine that only couple of weeks ago I bought my first Makeup Revolution product? I didn't choose life under a rock, it chose me, lol.

Anyway, it is not a secret that MR is well-known for their low prices yet amazing products. Most of the reviews are only positive! I decided to try out one of their eyeshadow palettes. You know, I have a thing for palettes now. So, let me introduce you to Girls On Film. Full review is coming soon, but today I am going to show three of my favourite looks created with this gorgeous goodie.

To begin with, I put photo with the names of each eyeshadow as it is easier to me and more comfortable for you to keep up with my steps of doing makeup.

Eyeryday With Darker Colour

The first one is probably my most favourite one, I prefer having a bit of eyeshadow on my eyes even if it is everyday makeup. I think that makes my eyes look more awake and pretty. By adding eyeliner you can easily turn it into night look.

I use Girls On Film all over my lid and also on brow bone to hide any veins as well as to highlight eyebrows.
Next I grabb fluffy eyeshadow brush, gorgeous shade Give Me Shudders and focus on the outer corner of the eye, then blend it in the crease.
With a bit of Give Me Shudder on the brush, I also define bottom lash line.

Quick and easy!

Trendy Gold

We can possibly call golden eye look the biggest trend of this summer. It was everywhere!

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from gold shimmery eyeshadow. If last year you asked me to put it on my eyelids, I would laugh and weirdly stare at you *WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? DOLL?*

Nonetheless, on one boring day I was playing around with makeup and finished up with wearing gold colour on my eyes. Wow, it looked amazing. Since then I have understood what the fuss is all about.

This palette has some nice shimmer shadows to creat such look too!

If I want to go super crazy and make my eyes sparkly, then I start off with Walking Hand In Hand all over my lids.
Then add Heads Turning in the crease, mostly near the outer corners.
Here is when magic happens! Take Your Picture is the most beautiful golden eyeshadow I yet have seen. As soon as I saw Girls On Film on the web site, I knew I was going to be obsessed with it. And I am. I mainly focus on the middle of the eyelid with it.

Voila!

The Brightest

I get it that it is not exactly the number one thing you should pay attention when buying makeup, but I prefer weird, cool or sarcastic notes in names of products.

In this palette the name of the darkest eyeshadow is So Bright. I mean, guys, you nailed it.

Therefore, I couldn't resist not putting it in my post. I don't usually apply anything darker than brown on my eyes, so I thought I would try out something new.

First of all, Make A Million on the lid.
To add a pop of colour, I took Hold Tight, deep navy shade, and added it in the outer corners.
Then it is time for So Bright! I blended it with Hold Tight which I guess gave some smokey vibes.

Let me know which one you like more!

Also what do you think about such type of blog posts? I currently love reading them on other blogs, so I thought why not to bring here wave of something new. Would you like see more of these?

90's Nude Lips

The One And Only | Beauty

It has been a while since I treated myself to some special makeup goodies. I decided to have non-spending July as there are too many products that were bought and then left in makeup bag. Also in summer my laziness is so on point that sometimes I can't be bothered spending extra time getting ready. Mascara, lipstick and massive sunglasses which cover almost my entire face are my bffs right now.

But during my holidays I got such huge urge to stuff my face with makeup as well as go to the shop and purchase everything. I did my best to control myself yet it is quite hard to resist when you can see the most magical word in the world as known as SALE all over the counters. Oh well... Inwardly, I knew what exactly I wanted. So, at the minute we had parked car outside the shopping centre, I ran to MAC. You know, I had to satisfy my lipstick obsessed girl's needs.

To be honest with you, my aim wasn't to buy one particular lipstick as if I had it written in my phone notes, no. Plan was to swatch everything that caught my eye and then pick up that one and only, however, without reading names of lipsticks. No cheating haha.

After about fifteen minutes, I had three nude shades to choose. Straightaway my mum told me she likes the middle one and it was my favourite too. Boom, hello Velvet Teddy. The other two were Taupe and Kinda Sexy. First one was slightly too brown, whilst the second one was too pink for me. And oh my God, let me start off by saying that Velvet Teddy is perfection. It is literally everything I wanted and even more.

As you may already know it is a matte nude lipstick with warm brown undertone and a bit of pink as well. I read maybe too many MAC lipstick reviews, so from other bloggers have already known MAC mattes can be quite drying, but then some people don't see such problem. I am super happy that I belong to the last group. Before applying any lipstick I always scrub, put on a lip balm, wait for it to absorb, then go with a lippie and I guess it helps me a lot.

Back to the topic. I think you can do very minimal makeup, for example, only foundation, eyebrows, mascara, bronzer, add Velvet Teddy and you instantly look fabulous as you have spent ridiculous amount of time achieving this look when realistically you didn't. It gives sort of a special finish after which you feel like you are on top of the world. I can see myself wearing this gorgeous every single day, but I am too scared to run out of it in like three weeks or so. I noticed how many Velvet Teddy dupes there are currently presented on market, nonetheless, that is not the same. If you are really into nudes and haven't yet got your hands on it, I would highly recommend you this lipstick. In a nutshell, it is a bomb.

Talking about Kylie-Jenner-craziness, I understand why people have made a big deal out of it. In my opinion, that happened not only because of her. Velvet Teddy is a beautiful lipstick itself which would reach bestsellers at some point, but Kylie definitely played important role in raising its selling as well as couple of another MAC products.

To finish, I am going to say I am pleased with my first MAC lipstick and I can't wait to grow my collection! If only MAC product grew on trees or randomly fell from the sky... Maybe in parallel universe?

Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel

Nails Dilemma

Woohoo, I am currently packing for my holiday and excitement is real now. You know, besides planning on outfits, makeup, I like to pamper myself from head to toe before going away. Scrubbing, rubbing, moisturizing, face mask, nails and all that jazz. Hope I am not the only one who does that. Anyway, right now my mision is to pick up nail polish to take with me.

Oh and remember in one of the post I said how I can't stand doing my nails? Well, I am currently going through stage when you paint nails different colour every day... Just how fast the night changes hehe. Okay, it is not as crazy as you think, my collection isn't getting bigger day by day. What makes me even more boring, I prefer basic soothing colours, anything from nude to baby blue. Except pink or red shades, because I then feel like a part of Mean Girls gang.

I developed such huge obsession when I stole one of my mum's nail polishes last month or so. First of all, sorry mum! It was Sheer Love, Gel Finish Nail Enamel by Avon. I promise you, painting nails had never been that easy in my life before! As you can guess from the name of it, comparing to regular nail varnishes this one has gel-like consistency which I would say gives more distinct colour and there is no need to put extra layers to get one. Depending on how dark the shade is, sometimes you can go with only one layer. Also I have to add that range of Gel Finish nail enamels gives a perfect finish. If you read my last post, you will know I am quite messy, so this fact comes in handy for me.

I lost my mind a bit and went crazy with them, but I don't feel shame for that as there are some pretty cool colours in the collection! Additionally, my six sense is telling me when I finish up choosing my "holiday" nail colour , it will be somethings from Avon Gel Finishes. I love them!

By the end of the day I picked up two shades and doubting between them. They aren't summery nor very bright, but I like how they look on my nails.

The first one is a stunning nude beige called Barely There. It goes with everything without draining too much attention. I know some people hate beige nail polishes, yet I have only love relationships with them.

Next one is Lavender Sky. Baby. Purple. Please, wait and let me have a little fangirl moment *screams*. Besides being a lovely shade for nails, it is in general amongst my favourite colours. I can also say it compliments tan very well and looks great with my watch. Yeah, the answer is obvious, I will probably paint my nails with this one.

One tip before I finish: apply clear lip balm on skin around your nails to easily erase any unnecessary bits of nail polish. Time- and lifesaver!

What colour do you like paint your nails the most?

Awkward Stories

Awkward Story&Eyebrows x Maybelline Master Shape

Because I am all 'bout those eyebrows... Make brow contact before eye contact? Yeah, me too, girl, me too. Nobody can explain what is special or fascinating about them, but brow game is a big deal. I do agree that your complete face look (~~sounds shitty, hope you understood what I meant~~) depends on the shape of eyebrows. Changing it can literally turn yor life upside down. Maybe to the best side or to the worst side.

See, I am pretty concerned when it comes to fixing and trimming my eyebrows with someone's esle help. If that person messed up, what the heck would I do? No, I have to trust you with my life to let you do my eyebrows. Feel me?

The exact same situation with brow products. I am not keen on experimenting. There is one I like and do not need anything esle! However, last time I had been shopping, I decided to look up for something new. I prefer filling in eyebrows with powder or matte eyeshadow, so trying out eyebrow pencil was perfect pick for me.

My choice fell on Maybelline Master Shape. The shade I am using called Deep Brown. It is a bit darker than I actually need, but since lighter one was too light for my eyebrows, I bought this one.

First things first, pigmentation. Wish it was better. Therefore I use this pencil on days when I want to achive more natural, sort of 'haven't put even little effort' look. Ideal for a lazy day.

Moreover, if you are going on a special event or any situation requires great makeup, I would not suggest using Master Shape. I can tell you that from my own experience. It was hilarious, painful and awkward at the same time.

Imagine rainy day, your umbrella was by mistake left home, you are rushing for dinner in the restaurant with your parents and people you have never met before. Long story short, I had brow pencil running down my face, making those fantastic dark lines. A bit of a product have still been on my brows, but it looked as I simply forgot to remove my makeup the night before or as I decided to let my eyebrows live carefree life. To make this story even more fail, I need to add that I haven't notice it until I got to the restaurant and saw my mum's shocked or rather terrified face.

You know, a normal girl would quickly say 'excuse me' and run to the bathroom. But it is not me. I have this weird thing that my brain plays lyrics from the songs I know in my head almost in every situation like this one. I can't control it! That happens without me even thinking of a random song.

This time it was Calum's from 5sos voice telling me:

When I woke, it was gone.

There was no tommorow.

(Song is called If You Don't Know in case you are wondering. ~~Now when I listen to it, I imagine myself singing it about my eyebrows, lol. Is that because I'm single af or weirdo af?~~).

I burst into laughter. Yup, my eyebrows were gone and my face was looking dirtly because of brow pencil. May we also picture the number of people staring at me? Sence of 'No tommorow' position. Get what I mean?

My parents weren't impressed, though. I bet if they knew about song, they would join me in laughing. Instead, my mum lead me to the bathroom and helped to wash off what was left from the Master Shape.

And what do you know about social awkwardness?

Overall, I am still using Maybelline Master Shape. This time not on its own, but as addition to my typical eyebrow routine. It definitely gives a bit more definition and colour.

Do you have any funny stories involving your eyebrows? Feel free to share them in the comments! Have a fun Friday :)

Talk to you later xxx

So, here is another post involving makeup brushes. Well as you can tell I am slowly yet surely becoming obsessed with them. Honestly, if I had possibility to add new one to my collection every day, I probably would be the happiest girl on the planet.

Wake Me Up Foundation

This foundation is honestly the best thing that happened with me in September. I firstly wanted to get my hands on Wake Me Up concealer, but it has been sold out, so I went for the foundation.

What Is More Exciting Than New Makeup Brushes?

What can be more excited than new makeup brushes? The answer is: probably nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love lipsticks, palettes, etc, but brushes are different.

Soooo it is time for another eyeshadow palette review. As I had promised before, here is Girls On Film by Makeup Revolution.
