| Makeup & Skincare Haul |

Hey everyone,

It has been a busy month! But we still managed to go shopping and found some bits and pieces that we want to share with you. It isn't one of those "I spent all of my money" hauls, only some pieces I either repurchased or wanted to try out. Let's get right into it :)

First thing I bought a couple of days ago are Revlon lipstics in Mauve it Over and Pink in the Afternoon. I have never tried any of Revlon lipstics and I've heard many people raving about them so I decided to give them a try. Also, some people say there are some great dupes for MAC lipstics so that was another great reason why to purchase them. Since I am a lipstick-o-holic I bought another lipstick today from the brand Catrice. It's fall and recently I've been feeling more daring with my lip makeup so I decided that what I need is a bright red matte lipstick and I found the perfect color in the newest addition to Catrice makeup - MATTador. 

Another thing that I got is a new powder. Usually I buy Rimmel's Stay Matte in Transparent but for whatever reason I am not able to find it in any of the drugstores (please don't tell me it was discontinued). Since every girl needs a bit of powder and I'm almost out of the one I have I had to buy something so I went to Inglot and got this beauty - transparent pressed powder in 302.

Last thing from the makeup department that I got is "an old friend" - Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express mascara in Smoky Eyes. I'm not gonna say anything about this product cause we already wrote about it in our "Maybelline Faves" post (*here*).

Let's jump onto skincare. Two weeks I posted my skincare routine (*here*) where I wrote about my favourite face gel from a polish brand called Ziaja, so naturally I had to repurchase it, because it is the best for my skin. 

You all probably know I may be a little obssesed with Ziaja products (but seriously they are that good), so I got two of their fairly new products - cleansing mask for normal, oily to combination skin that hopefully will clear my pores (fingers crossed!). Another thing that I got is olive cleansing water with vitamin C and what I love about this is that it's in a spray version similarly to all the thermal waters.

That would be all for my little haul, hope you guys liked it! If you want us to make any reviews of the products mentioned (or in general) just post a comment down below! 

P&B, xoxo

| SATURDAY TIP # 2 |

Hey everyone,

A week has passed and we have another Saturday, which means another tip for you guys! We all love to paint nails right? But sometimes our favourite polish gets all gummy and unusable even though we just got it. We get frustrated because we spent money and the product doesn't work as it should. No need to worry, we have some tricks how you can save your nail polish.

The first thing you can do is… simply put the polish into hot water. Sounds unbelievable? Trust us, it works. The effect may not be long lasting but you can still paint your nails for the night out.

The second tip we have for you is as simple as the first one. All you need for this is only nail polish remover. What you need to do is pour a little bit into your "gummy" polish, shake it up for a second and voila your polish is as good as new!

We hope you liked our small tricks and tell us if you tried it yourselves!

| Lipsticks for Fall |

Hey everyone,

Are we the only ones obssesed with a dark lip for the fall? Probably not. So today we want to share with you some of our absolute faves in the lipstick department.

Number one on our list is a Maybelline Mystic Mauve (250) Color Sensational. It's a nice moisturizer and it stays on your lips all day long. What's more it's in a nice, cold-pink tone.
Hint: It's a perfect product to use when you try to achive one of the hottest makeup - Kylie Jenner inspired look.

Maybelline Mystic Mauve (250) Color Sensational

Ok, now let's take a look at some red lipsticks. Number 19 from Kate Moss's collection for Rimmel is a really pretty redish brown color which is perfect for everyday wear (especially if you don't feel comfortable wearing dark lips on a everyday basis). We love Kate Moss collection, her lipsticks are creamy, they last a decent amount of hours and most importantly they don't dry out your lips.

Number 19 Rimmel

Next is a Red Velvet from Oriflame. This really deep, half matte color will be perfect not only on everyday use but also when you plan a night out. But you need to be careful, especially wearing white clothes, because it has a tendency to smudge. However the color is georgeous, so we believe it's still worth trying.

 

Red Velvet Oriflame

There is no way we would not include any of the MAC lipsticks on our list. So there actually will be two. The first one is the famous REBEL, a gorgeous purple-ish shade that you can build up however you want.

Rebel MAC

TIP: If you are on a budget we recommend checking out Inglot lipticks, number 293 is a fantastic dupe for Rebel. 

If you are more brave in your makeup and like to wear something much darker, then there is one word we have for you - DIVA. This MAC's lipstick is incredible. It's a beautiful dark, wine red shade and it's a matte, but it really doesn't dry your lips. We don't know how is it possible, but we love it. So definitely go check it out in the stores.

Diva MAC

That was our last proposition, we hope you liked our faves. Maybe you have your own favourites?

| Makeup Bag Starter Kit |

Makeup bag is a must have in every girl's bag. In college, work or school, a perfect set of makeup can save our day. However, did you ever regret not having something in your little bag? We know, we did. That's how we came up with our perfect set for everyday.

Tip: remember to take products you have used before, since you don't know how your skin may react to something new.

OUR SET

Powder - find one that is matifying and doesn't break you out, our favourite is Rimmel Stay Matte in transparent

Chopstick/Lip Balm - transparent like Carmex or with a delicate hint of colour like Nivea or Maybelline Baby Lips (no one likes dry lips)

Lipstick - choose your favourite everyday shade, make sure that it will last all day through meetings and meals, eg. MAC

Concealer - make sure the colour matches your skin tone, if you don't want to spend a lot of money we recommend Catrice Camouflage Cream, on the more pricey side there is MAC Studio Finish Concealer

Blush/Bronzer - for quick touch ups during the day (a packaging with a mirror will work perfectly), take a look on the Bourjois blushes if you don't mind strong, powdery scents

Mascara - if you like a dramatic look 24/7

Hair Oil - perfect for the girls with frizzy hair (life saver during fall and winter)

Bobby Pins - helpful when you least expect it
