Current

- I've finally finished reading Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy. I love books which can capture your attention from the first page to the end - I couldn't stop reading The Hunger Games until it was last page of the third book. I also watched two movies yesterday - it was okay, but the original was better, because when you read it's like you actually live character's lives, feel their emotions (I actually was the same terrified as Katniss when she was thrown into arena for the first time). I don't know, but usually books leave much bigger impression on me than movies or tv-shows.

- Got Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Creator just in time for Halloween. It's beautiful black with golden glitter in it. Applies easily and dries out quickly. Can't say anything about removing it, because I used it only one time and it's still on my nails. Cruelty free and the most expensive nail polish in my small collection (15 euro with discount, wtf).

- Since A/W lip colors are very popular in beauty bloggers community lately I gave in and bought myself Make Up Store matte lipstick in 401. It's dark plum color and application is quite difficult because you need to have an ideal lips. Lip scrub (I use e.l.f. exfoliator) + lip transparent pencil (e.l.f. Lip lock) + lip brush + lipstick from the tube + blotting lips with a tissue = this is a formula to get a great look with this product (takes some time). I'll post more swatch photos later.

- Natural deodorants don't work for me. I tried both solid and liquid Crystal deodorant and it made me more smelly and sweaty than ever. I ordered travel size of Schmidt's Natural Deodorant from their etsy store, but since I'll sweat to death waiting for parcel from USA to reach Estonia, I've decided to buy deodorant from non cruelty free company. It wasn't an easy decision and I'm still feeling guilty :(

Make Up Store: Snowflake matt eye pencil

I've been thinking about getting eye pencil in nude or white for coloring my lower lash line for ages, but finally bought one this month. As I wrote before, Make Up Store is cruelty free brand from Sweden. Despite them selling in UK, I've seen only few reviews on MUS products which were written mainly by Swedish bloggers. It's such a shame, since the brand offers good quality for affordable prices (it's not either drugstore nor high end brand - something in between). Showflake is white matt eye pencil. 
It's very pigmented, has long lasting power and creamy formula, doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and is suitable for contact lens wearers. As you may know, coloring your lower lash line in white or nude colors will make you eyes looking even more bigger. Also you can use white pencil for Halloween makeup looks, marking teeth or mouth like in this tutorial. Essential item in every makeup bag. Retails for 11 euro.
