Bday look

I haven't  properly celebrated my birthday since 2012. It was so long ago that I even had red hair back then :) we had a karaoke evening with my girls and had so much fun. This time I did not betray my 'girls only' code and threw girl power party with all red ribbon bows, flowers and balloons. Here is my party look:
- Kate Spade red backless dress with a bow I purchased in New York. I saw it on the window in Soho and fell in love. I knew I was going to buy it eventually. 
- Red Valentino bow headband with veil. It's a present from my sister who couldn't attend my birthday party.
- Asos black satin stilettos with a bow detail. It was the perfect shoes for the dress. 
- Kate Spade Bow and Knot bracelets in rose gold. I don't take them off very often.

Oscar 2015. Top 5

Oscar 2015. Even though I was watching live and didnt miss a thing I couldnt enjoy the show. Let's agree that it was boring. Despite an amazing intro performance of Neil Patrick Harris, the rest was 'why are you so stressed, man? Relax'. Hosting Oscars after Ellen is a hard thing to do, I dont think anyone will beat Oscar selfie or Brad Pitt helping pizza delivery guy during the actual ceremony soon. There was not a single 'omg I wish I was born her and had to wear it today' dress neither on the red carpet nor on Vanity Fair afterparty. Not going to talk about who got the award and why he/she did/didnt deserve it. I'll just mention few personal favourite moments of the yesterday show. 

1) Eddie Redmayne and everything about him. I have been rooting for him since the day I watched Theory of Everything. His excitement about the statue in his hands was worthy staying awake to watch it.

Eyelash extensions

I think everyone who follows my blog have already noticed my obsession with hair and make up. Eyelash extension was a part of my long term plan but I never made up my mind till the last week. I've been following this studio for a while and at last decided to make an appointment with the master. The procedure is long (it took me two and a half hours) and you can not open your eyes during the whole time. The process is about gluing fake lashes (in the length, thickness and curve you choose) to your own lashes, not skin. That is why extensions stand at the same position you natural eyelashes do, and it looks nicer. They use hypoallergenic glue which won't cause any allergic reaction (if you have any).  Pros of extensions are amazing lashes with impressive looks you can throw around, and cons are you can not rub your eyes or sleep your face up the pillow (which I'm used to). Plus they need to be combed everyday :) I was told if I'm careful, then lashes will stay for a month, let's see how it is going to turn out.

Top 8 of my make up bag

There are some products in your make up bag that you consider as treasure, godsend and saviour. I love constantly to buy new products and try them on, but there are a few things that are always going to be there. Because these findings work just perfect for me. Top 8 of my make up collection:

1. Pupa Luminys Baked Face Powder. This is my all time favourite product. And guess what: it's the one and only make up trick I learned from my mom. When I look back I don't think I would use something my mom used, taking into consideration how much attention she pays to make up. But this powder has dense and thick texture and saves you on the days you don't want to use foundation. I use it with Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and get asked which foundation I have used. It's just best you can go with powder.

I use 04 Champagne. But it was too light for me in summer because I got a little bit tanned. I had to slightly cover it with light powder from Pupa in a darker shade.
