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!

It's Cold Outside

It's cold outside. That's why I spent Saturday night drinking hot chocolate and looking through old magazines :) I like it when there are lots of marshmallows in hot chocolate :) I hope everyone knows how to make hot chocolate. If not, here is the recipe: boil milk, add cocoa powder (for 1 cup I put 3 teaspoons of powder), stir well and decorate with marshmallows (or whipped cream). Very easy to make and great for cold winter days :)
Stay warm!

На улице холодно, поэтому я провела субботний вечер листая старые журналы и попивая горячий шоколад :) Мне нравится, когда в какао плавает много зефирок :) Я думаю, что все знают как делать горячий шоколад. Если нет, то вот вам рецепт: вскипятить молоко, добавить какао-порошок, хорошенько размешать (на 1 чашку я кладу 3 чайные ложки какао) и украсить зефиром (или взбитыми сливками). Очень легко приготовить, и очень вкусно, как раз для таких холодных зимних дней :)
