Make up essentials for all seasons part 1

Hi everyone!
You don't even know how awful I feel that I haven't been posting for so long. I promised not to do that months ago, but I broke my promise again :/  Now I'd better stopped making excuses and just write about something interesting and quite important to me.
Today I want to present you all my makeup essentials that I would probably die without. The order is the same as the order I use all those cosmetics.


   1. Mattifying emulsion and base balm
My favourite and prescripted by my dermatologist mattifying emulsion by Iwostin is definetely best you could buy for your skin if you have the same oily and acne skin as I do. Apart from mattifying effect that stays for a long time, the emulsion absorbs sebum and helps to gradually diminish its amount. It doesn't get stuck in pores, has a light consistency and is fully hypoallergenic. Here is some more information about this product.

After applying Iwostin emulsion I use the Porefessional base by Benefit Cosmetics. At first I was quite sceptical and thought that it is just not working but after some time I realised I was mistaken and this product is really good. Every time when my pores are visibly extended I know I can count on the Porefessional base. Unfortunately it's not dirt cheap and I realise not every one can afford it, but it's very efficient and worth investing. Here is where you can buy this product.


    2. Foundation
After a year of using Maxfactor Face Finity foundation I decided to change it because of the pink shade that has been driving me crazy for some time. It was perfect to me apart from the colour which was a little bit too pink. After accidentially breaking the last bottle of Maxfactor foundation I thought I would never find something better but surprisingly I have found my new love. Revlon Colorstay foundation is more than ideal. It has everything I need plus it fits my skin perfectly. It is light, little bit mattifying, has medium coverage, absorbs the surplus of sebum as it's dedicated for oily skin types, doesn't get stuck in pores and most of all stays for a long long time. I give it 10/10 points even for price - not that cheap but super efficient. Here is where to buy this product.


    3. Concealers
Here I'm presenting you my favourite 3 concealers - each has a special use. The first one is True Match Concealer by L'Oreal. I've been using it for ages and would never swap it. Perfect for covering pimples and blotches or some red spots and blemishes, with high coverage and creamy, wet consistence. Next one is 123 Perfect CC Eye Cream by Bourjois. Covers all dark circles around eyes, cools the skin and stays for a long time. Makes the face look young, radiant and fresh. The last one is Studio Finish Concealer by MAC - my special agent. I use it only in worst situations f.ex. to cover a huge, new-in surprise that appeared on my face out of blue the previous night. It's very dense, thick and has a very high coverage. Can't be use as a eye concealer, but deals with great problems perfectly. Here are the links for all three products:
L'Oreal True Match Concealer
Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Eye Cream
MAC Studio Finish Concealer

It's everything for now! I hope my opinion on those cosmetics is going to help you to make some decisions :) Next part of this post is going to appear soon so check out my blog every day!

Healthy snacks: black hedhehogs

Hi! It's me again! I am so sorry for not having written for so long but my duties overwhelmed me entirely and it was very difficult to find even a shred of time for you. But as I have finally found it I want to use it well. So this time I want to share with you my own ideas for healthy snacks. I've been on a winter diet for some time, but I still have some dificulties with getting accustomed to sweets ban. I wouldn't be myself if I didn't make up my own recipes for healthy and dietary tidbits. That is how I composed my first recipe - black hegehogs. Honestly it is going to be hard to give you the exact amount of ingredients since I added each one quite spontaneously and ,,much about". But let's give it a shot :)
XOXOXO Katie

Black Hedgehogs
- 3 tbsp oatmeal
- 1 tbsp oat bran 
- 1 tbsp rye bran
- 1 tbsp dryed goji berries
- 1/2 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 1/2 small orange
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp 0% natural yogurt
- 1 tbsp 2% milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder

1. Take a cereal bowl and pour oatmeal, bran, goji berries and sunflower seeds. Mix well.
2. Take another cereal bowl and pour yogurt, honey and milk and stir until smooth.
3. Add yogurt-milk-honey mix to oatmeal mix until moist and sticky. Don't add everuthing if not needed.
4. Pour cocoa powder and stir well.
5. Finally squeeze orange juice onto dough and mix.
6. Set oven to 180'C.
7. Pass dough into tiny muffin - 1 coffee spoon to each one.
8. Bake for about 15 min or less - hedgehogs should be moist but crunchy on the top.

Bon Appetit!
