Make-Up of the Day: Green and Gold Eyes

Hello my lovelies :) 

I wanna show you the make-up I wore today, since it turned out better than expected :) 

I did a gold and green kinda smokey eye and paired it with some neutral soft pink lips with golden shimmer as well. 

To get some gold color on the lips I just took the same eye shadow I used on my eyes, applied it on my lips as well and put the lip gloss right over it :)

I'm trying to use more of my palettes and create colorful make-ups because I just have so much stuff and I really should use it:P 

The reason I said it turned out better than expected is that usually gold eye shadow isn't as opaque as I would like - but I just put P2's golden eye liner under it as a base and it turned out how I wanted!

Also the eye shadows are just amazing, but that's why I love to use Sleek palettes ;) 

Thanks for reading! 

See ya soon <3

Kiko & Essence Haul + Blog Name Change

Hello my lovelies! 

I was on the road the whole day, just got home a few hours ago , but I promised myself I would do this post mostly because I wanna explain the name change of my blog! 

Since the first day I started this blog, I was never quite happy with the name. I am horrible with finding creative names so I took the first thing that sounded good to me at the time. Well, it has been 3 years and I really wanna get my blog going again, maybe even start a Youtube-channel, who knows? But I feel that I need a name that I can use for both my blog and Youtube and is short and easy to remember!

Since I am so bad with names I asked the lovely ladies of Polishaholics Anonymous on Facebook (told you about them once, lovely group!) and immediately got some responses :D

My own suggestion was Theodora's Beauty Corner, which got some positive response. The other suggestions were: Raducal Beauty (my last name is Radu - so instead of radical its raducal :P) and Theadorable Beauty Blog (Kind of a mix of my first name Theodora with adorable). 

I liked those suggestions, BUT I am still open for new ones! I will add them to the survey I started on the left side bar and you, my dear followers, have time to vote for your favorite one! ;)  

I know a name change is not the best thing, but better to do it now than later, right? 

Ok, enough of that, here are some beautiful things I got the past couple of days :3

I didn't wanna buy anything from Kiko, I just wanted to browse the nail polish section of their website and then I saw the big offer they had on Black Friday - 30% on your whole purchase! 

I just couldn't resist :D 

I got 5 eye shadows and a palette to put 4 of them in, 2 nail polishes, a face primer, a lip primer and a brow highlighter. 

I would love to do swatches/reviews on them and I probably will do so in the near future, but is there anything you would really like to see asap ? Tell me ;) 

All of the stuff above was a real spontaneous buy! I was in the city with my bf and he wanted to look at some games, so I spent my time looking at some makeup and stuff. 

I really just wanted to look! :D 

But in the end, when he came back I had all of this stuff in my hands and I just had to buy these pretties :3 

The whole collection of thermo polishes by Essence, 3 of the new palettes from Essence, 2 quattro eye-shadows from Essence's LE "Come to Town" + the green glitter polish from that same LE. 

The 2 false lashes I got from a 1€ Shop and they just looked so gorgeous.... and let's be honest, you can't do anything wrong with that price :D

Same thing as above, anything you really wanna see a review/swatch of asap ? 

Did you buy anything beautiful these days? Tell me in the comments, would love to know! 

See ya!

Also ...tomorrow is Nail Art Monday! Yay :D

Summer Challenge: Palm Trees

I am so sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I forgot! I could have sworn I already posted my Palm Tree Challenge, but this morning I realized that I didn't do it. I have the nails done since Friday and what a luck I still had them on today, to take pictures! ;)
First, my inspiration: 

And this is how it looks on my nails: 

For the sunset gradient I used 4 colors, which are: 

Essence - Break Through (purple), Kiko - 289 (pink), Essence - Get the Fever (orange) and Essence - Sundancer (yellow). I sponged this colors over one coat of white polish (Essence Ahoy!). For the palm trees I used the black tip painter from Flormar :)

Btw, I didn't use any top coat over the palm trees accent nails, because I really like the uneven structure of the palm trees :D 

After 3 days, they still look very glossy and there is almost no tip wear! (Please excuse my dry skin/cuticles!)

What is that miracle top coat that shines like crazy even after 3 days, you say? It's Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer ... this stuff is amaaaazing! :D I can really recommend it! It also dries super fast ;)

I really liked this manicure and I got some compliments on it too! That's always a plus ;) 

Check out these ladies for more awesome Nail Art !!
