Beauty Department: Everyday Essentials

Hello lovelies! Today's post is devoted to my everyday makeup essentials, the ones that I use religiously to make myself look pretty :) Here are my magic tools:
1. Chanel Perfection Lumiere (foundation). Perfection Lumiere replaced my all time favorite Teint Innocence foundation which was discontinued. I can't say that I love the new one as much as I used to love Teint Innocence but it works for me, it evens out the skin tone and doesn't break me out (which is the most important part since my skin is super sensitive and breaks out easily). Though it's considered a long-wear foundation, it looks very natural.
2. Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre (natural finish loose powder). It's so soft and delicate, it provides a sheer coverage with matte finish.
3. Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat. Instantly creates a healthy, glowing complexion. I seriously love it!
4. Chanel Correcteur  Perfection (concealer). I started using it only a few weeks ago, and I haven't used many concealers before so I can't say too much about it. I like it but my Maybelline concealer that I used a few years ago was doing pretty much the same job for a lot less money.
5. Chanel Le Vernis in 485 Django (nail polish). I use this shade for my every day natural-looking manicure, also love Essie's Ballet Slippers.
What are your favorite makeup items that you use every day? Feel free to suggest any other great products, I'm always on the lookout for new stuff!

Last Night's Shopping

A quick hello and a few pictures of last night's shopping. Spent a few hours at Zara, Sephora, Victoria's Secret and Chanel. Sorry but I can't show you what is inside of Victoria's Secret bag because it's a present for my friend :) I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! xo

Приветик! Провела вчерашний вечер в магазинах - Zara, Sephora, Victoria's Secret и Chanel. Содержимое этих сумок вы обязательно увидите попозже, за исключением покупки Victoria's Secret, это подарок подруге на День Рождения :) Как вы проводите выходные? Надеюсь, отлично! хо

Color Me Pretty

It's cold, cloudy and rainy outside. Everything looks grey. Plain grey. I decided to make life a little brighter and got today these beautiful nail polishes :) 18 Vamp has been my favorite for the last 5 years, and I got another one today again. 485 Django is so pretty and gentle. 483 Vendetta is rich dark purple, so dramatic, love it :)

На улице холодно, облачно и дождливо. Всё выглядит таким серым. Oбыденно серым. Поэтому я решила сделать жизнь немного ярче и купила вот эти красивые лаки для ноготков :) Вспомнила фразу, которую я услышала, когда была ещё маленькой - рисуй мои "снеготочки" :) Вот я сегодня буду рисовать мои "снеготочки" :) Оттенок 18 Vamp уже лет 5 является моим любимым лаком, вот сегодня опять его купила. 485 Django - такой весь нежный, милый и хорошенький. 483 Vendetta - насыщенный фиолетовый, очень красивый и драматичный :)

Also I got Diorshow Black Out  Mascara. I didn't try it yet, will wait until tomorrow. 

Ещё купила тушь Dior Black Out . Ещё не попробовала, подожду до завтра.

 And yesterday I spent afternoon at Starbucks with my darling Tamara. It was so wonderful to see her, she brought me these beautiful daffodils. They are like little pieces of a sun on this cold rainy day :)

Вчера встречалась в Старбаксе с подругой Тамарой, я была очень рада её видеть. Тамара мне принесла милые весенние нарциссы. Они как маленькие солнышки в этот холодный серый день :)

Favorite Makeup

Good morning :) As I promised yesterday the post today is about my favorite makeup. I should say that my  friend Rimma influenced me to become a fan of makeup. She is so good at it! And Rimma taught me to use it with a right amount in a right place :)

Доброе утро :) Как и обещала вчера, сегодняшний пост о макияже. Вернее, о самых любимых из них. Должна сказать, что в моей любви к макияжу я обязана Римме, моей подруге. Она в этом настоящий профессионал. Именно она научила меня, что макияж нужно использовать в нужном количестве и в нужном месте :)

I can't live without foundations. I love them. I have few of them, and all of them have a different coverage.

Teint Innocence from Chanel has a very light coverage, it's for every day use, Pro Lumiere (Chanel) has a thicker coverage, I use it every other day. MAC Studio Fix Fluid has a great coverage, I use it only once in a while (for special events or photo-shoots). Teint Idole from Lancome I use it as a bronzer (because it's in a dark shade). Sometimes I use Double Perfection Compact foundation from Chanel, it gives a perfect matte finish. And as a base I use MAC Prep + Prime, it works great! It smoothes the skin and evens it out.

Без тональных кремов я жить не могу. У меня их несколько, и у них у всех разная степень покрытия. Chanel Teint Innocence - у него очень лёгкое покрытие, его можно использовать каждый день. Chanel Pro Lumiere - поплотнее, его я использую через раз. Тональный крем Studio Fix Fluid от MAC замазывает все изъяны, пользуюсь им только по осбым случаям и для фотосьёмок. Teinte Idole (Lancome) использую как бронзер, потому что он очень тёмный для моей кожи. Иногда пользуюсь компакт-пудрой Chanel Double Prefection , он даёт красивый матовый оттенок. А для базы под макияж пользуюсь MAC Prep + Prime. Он выравнивает кожу, и макияж ложится просто идеально.

 Teint Innocence from Chanel is my favorite. It has a very delicate smell, and it feels great on skin. I use it every day.

 Favorite mascaras are Hypnose from Lancome. And also the Colossal Volume Express from Maybelline.
One tube from Lancome is empty, I use it as a brush for my brows :)

Любимая тушь - Hypnose от Lancome. И ещё Colossal Volume Express от Maybelline. Один из тюбиков Lancome - пустой, я использую его вместо расчёски дя бровей :)

Lipstick. Red lipstick, of course! :) I usually use these two shades - 95 Red Dream (on the left) and Rouge Allure 14 Passion. Both are from Chanel.

Помада. Красная, конечно! :) Пользуюсь в основном вот этими двумя оттенками - 95 Red Dream (слева) и Rouge Allure 14 Passion (справа). Обе помады от Chanel.

These are lip and eye liners from Sephora, Revlon and Chanel.

Это карандаши для губ и глаз от Sephora, Revlon, and Chanel.

And this Sephora eyeshadow palette I use pretty much every day. It also has a lip gloss palette, blush and bronzer. Very useful!

А это палетта с тенями, блеском для губ и румянами от Sephora. Очень полезная вещь!

These are my favorites. I have a box of other stuff that I don't use on a regular basis but it's another story :)
I'm wishing you a wonderful day! Stay warm, it's cold outside :)


Это только мои любимые предметы. Есть ещё целая коробка других предметов макияжа, которыми я почти и не пользуюсь. Но это совсем другая история :)
Желаю вам всем удачного дня! Одевайтесь потеплее, на улице холодно :)

Military Jacket

Yesterday's outfit, military jacket and red lips. I love red lipstick! Not on a regular basis though. But once in a while it's ok :) This shade is Chanel Rouge Allure 14 Passion. It makes people turn heads :D
It's raining outside, and I need to have breakfast and go to school. See you later!

Вчерашний наряд - пиджак милитари и красная помада. Очень люблю красную помаду. Но не каждый день :) Этот оттенок Chanel Rouge Allure 14 Passion. Заставляет людей поворачивать головы в вашу сторону :D
На улице дождь и слякоть, а мне ещё завтракать и ехать на учёбу. Пока!
