EOTD with Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Gash
Hello Ladies,
Today I have an opposite EOTD from the one I did a few days ago, where instead of using Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Gash as an accent, I'm using it as my main eyeliner.
I use GOSH Long Lasting Eyelining Pen in Turquoise as accent here.
Can you tell this is my favorite eyeliner? I reach for it the most out of all the ones I have.

FOTD with GOSH Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in Turquoise
Hello Ladies,
It's been so hot lately that I still can't bring myself to put any eyeshadows on. Instead, I keep reaching for my eyeliners. Today I show you the look I did couple of days ago using GOSH Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in Turquoise. I love these eyeliner pens, and have 3 of them.
I accented the look with my favorite Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Gash. Aside from the bottle being not economical and annoying, I love everything about this eyeliner.
I'm wearing my current Go To mascara, Tarte's Light Camera Splashes and lots and lots of Benefit Posietint. I wanted to make that it will show up on my cheeks!
What do you think? Have you used any of the GOSH eyeliner pens?

Beautiful Shoes Will Take You to Beautiful Places Sunday #2
Hello my Lovely Readers,
I've missed the last two Sundays because I've been so busy with the schoolwork, but now that the workload is off me, I'm back! Today I present to you my all time favorite boots! You might be wondering why boots, when it's super hot outside but the weather in UK is so unpredictable that it could be hot today and really cold tomorrow.
I bought them online last year, and let me tell you buying shoes online is a gamble! One time I ordered 3 pairs of different shoes, in exactly the same size and one of them was too small, one too big and another perfect. Go figure. These were perfect and I was ecstatic because I really didn't want to return them!
These shoes took me all over Ukraine on my first-ever-since-I-moved-to-US-trip-back! That was 9 years I didn't see my homeland! And after hours and hours of walking, my feet were not hurting at all! Ok, they were tired but not as hurting as when you wear uncomfortable shoes. I literally went a whole day in them (a whole like 12hr day) of walking around places and they were so comfy. Now I wear them when I go on long shopping trips and I want to look good but comfortable. Sorry, no fugly tennis shoes that American tourists are so known to wear for me.
They also match everything! Just check these photos out. The first two are from Ukraine, and the other shows how good these shoes look with kimono.
They are by BC Footwear and called Under Oath. Unfortunately they are hard to find now, because otherwise I would also get the beige pair. What I like about this brand, aside from their shoes being very comfortable, is inside on every shoe they have a little saying. On these they say "BC because all that glitter is gold". I used to think that it was standard saying for every pair of their shoes, but I have 2 other pairs and the sayings are different! Yup, I went shopping for more and I'm about to buy another pair... :) (hope they will fit, since I'm ordering online)

July 2011 Empties
Hello my Funky Readers,
I can't believe it's time for another empties post! I get so ridiculously excited when I finish something, especially if it's a makeup item. I have two items right now where I've hit the pot, and I can't wait to finish those too although it will be a good several month before I do. :( But anyways, here are the stuff that I've finished in July!
1. St.Ives Energizing Citrus Moisturizing Body Wash - this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've used it, and every time I think that it smells so much better in the bottle than when used on the body. Will I ever learn?
2. Garnier Fresh Essential Cleansing Milk & Toner - you can read my review here. I love those and already started on backups.
3. Garnier Fresh Essential Eye Makeup Remover - it sucks. You can read why here.
4. Batiste Original Dry Shampoo - That's the one that came with June's GlossyBox. I love Batiste, and will buy this over and over again.
.
5. Simple Radiance Brightening Moisturiser SPF10 - you can read my full review here, but just to sum it up: I love it, but wish for higher SPF.
6. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent - it's great and I'm on my 2nd one right now. I see myself buying it again.
7. The Body Shop Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue - I got one of these for my mom when I went to visit last year, and she swears by it. I on the other hand think it only works as preventative. Which it is, according to the package. So it works very well for me in winter, but the second I start wearing sandals again my feet turn into dry nightmare no matter how much I soak and scrub them. I am not sure if I will buy it again because I'm not loving the scent much, and I've only bought it because it worked so well for my mom.
What did you finish this month? :)

My very First NOTD with Wet n Wild Craze Rustic
Hello Everyone,
You might or might not have noticed that I've never ever EVER do any NOTD posts. The reason for that is very simple, I am extremely, to the point of hiding, self conscious of my nails. I've been a nail biter for years, starting with kindergarten, and I remember teachers and kids calling me out on it and making fun of me. This whole thing continued way into high school when I briefly stopped for a year or two, but then I started dating one total dufus and nail biting came right back (and that's when I figured out it must have been stress related). Fast forward several years, I broke up with him and stopped biting my nails again unless I'm under severe stress. Now I have to REALLY watch myself, making sure I have no broken nails or snags or ANYTHING that would make me want to pick and bite. I carry a whole arsenal of nail files in my purse so that if something happens, I can quickly file my nail and trick myself in to NOT biting. Let me tell you, school work overload is not good for my nails. :(
Another reason why I'm so selfconcious about them is because I naturally have small hands, with short fingers, with short nails. Well I sure can't help it there and I could blame genetics, but what would that do? So instead I'm slowly starting to accept my nails for what they are, short and square :) And finally the third reason is because I'm TERRIBLE at applying nail polish! I always get those annoying bubbles, and I think I know why they are there (because I apply too much polish, but I haven't mastered the art yet). It's ok though, I've been using nail polish off and on for couple of month and I'm getting better with the application process. There is still hope for me yet! :)
Anyways, here is my very first NOTD with WetNWild Craze nail polish in Rustic!
Usually our base store is behind on everything and anything, and not surprisingly they didn't even have a display for these. I found this polish randomly out of place among other Wet n Wild polishes and made sure to grab it. I think in US you can get these from Walgreens and whichever other places sell Wet n Wild, but unfortunately I don't even know if this particular range is still available.
I love this shade! It definitely lives up to its name, except better because it has sparkles! :) This is how it looks after 3 days of wear, without top coat (I choose not to apply top coat, because all I have take too long to dry and I haven't gotten around to getting the good one yet). As you can see, there are no chips and the color is gorgeous!
My only complaint is the bottle. While I think it is so stinking cute, the brush is just too short and it makes it hard to apply. I much prefer Wet n Wild less cuter, but more user friendly FastDry polishes. Even so, if I had access to these I would buy more in a heartbeat!
What do you think? If you're in US, have you tried any of these?
