10 Minute Mommy Makeup | Realistic GRWM

Hello beauties!

Today's post is a quick GRWM! I don't wear makeup any more on a daily basis (when I'm staying at home with my son), but I do wear it on weekends, when I work, and also, when I am scheduled to film a video.

My makeup routine has become very simple, easy and quick! Time is a luxury these days, so I needed to find the products that are multi purpose and top quality! I'm sure that this makeup routine applies not only for us busy mommas but also for students and busy career women.

So if you fancy spending 10 minutes with me, watching me put my makeup on and getting ready for the day, take a look here.

My little one was taking a nap, so I decided to do my makeup quietly and just added music while editing. I hope you liked the concept. This video is meant more as a relaxing sort of video, rather than a tutorial! In this realistic, 10 minute mommy GRWM video I feature some products that I got recently at bornprettystore.com and some of my other holy grails when it comes to makeup!

You can take a look at my bornprettystore new in here:

PRODUCT DEETS:

The 8 Colors Shimmer Eyeshadow Makeup Palette Long Lasting Eyeshadow #24110 is actually very nice quality and super affordable! It's compact, so it fits every makeup bag, the pigmentation is good and you can create subtle, day appropriate looks to evening looks!

You can get it at bornprettystore for only $ 2.59.

(Use SONJAK31 at checkout for additional 10% OFF + free shipping!)

Other essentials are my Benefit Ka Brow! (I've had this product for nearly 2 years and it's still perfect and does the job perfectly), Bourjois Radiance Reveal concealer (the best one!) and Catrice HD Liquid Coverage (I like to mix it with a few drops of rose oil to make it a bit more sheer and hydrating, which is more suitable for my skin type.)

As far as lipstick goes anything neutral and creamy will do! I used a lipstick from Kiko Milano Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick in #301 Beige.

I hope you had a lovely coffee break, watching this GRWM!

Let me know what are your holy grail products for quick and easy everyday makeup looks?

Party Season Must-Haves

Hello beauties!

The holidays are just around the corner and the party season atmosphere is in the air. Shopping malls are drenched in holiday decor trying to attract customers around the busiest shopping season of the year. Now that we're in December, it's time to decorate the Christmas tree and add a warmth and coziness to our homes.

I decided to write this post about my party season must haves and I hope this is going to be interesting for you and that you'll maybe pick up a thing or two from my list! Also, don't forget to share with me your must haves for the Christmas holidays in the comments below!

Red nail polish indeed makes everything more festive! These are truly my must haves for this time of the year, I love both shades: 03 by Mavala is more of a vibrant red but "Rouge Savage" by L'Oreal is also a true red and perfect for Christmas time.

Party season calls for sparkly body mist! If it's caramel scented, even better! This one is from H&M and it's a scented body splash with glitter. You can layer it over your usual body lotion, too.

Tissue face & eyes masks are a must-have for prepping your skin for the party season. You want to look (and feel) your best and these masks can perform little miracles in less than 30 minutes! I love these under eye masks by Shiseido Benefiance and tissue face masks by Mitomo.

With just a few drops of your favorite perfume, it's already Christmas! I love, love, love Angel by Thierry Mugler, especially in the winter season, as it's quite a bold and strong scent that can't be passed unrecognized!

Christmas time is a time for family gatherings and also office parties and just many occasions to wear something festive! I always add some sparkles and sequins to my outfit just to make it a bit more festive! In this photo, I have details of my old Zara Exquisite Embellished Multicolored Beaded Sequin Bomber Jacket which is super cute and covered in sequins that I wear whenever the right occasion comes along.

I hope you liked my ideas! What are some of yours beauty / fashion essentials when it comes to holidays and party season? Do share!

Holiday hairstyle ideas: Trendy Uniwigs

Hello beauties!

As Christmas is just around the corner, I wanted to keep sharing my holiday styling ideas, and in this post I'd like to focus on hairstyles.

As well as the outfit, hairstyling is such an important part of the complete holiday look.
In fact, in this period of the year, hairdressers are fully booked and if you didn't remember to book an appointment on time, you might have found yourself without knowing what to do with your hair!
Also, changing your look dramatically only for the sake of holidays might be a bit risky and expensive, so why not go for the more convenient and fun option of wearing a wig for the special occasion?

Wigs are very popular, quick and easy way of transforming your look, without having to comit to a permanent change, but depending on the occasion, you can just create different looks and have fun with it!

At Uniwigs you can really get inspired: They offer so many different syles at competitive prices, and you can also shop by color or popular trends.

If you have shorter hair and would like to see yourself with a luscious locks, you can quickly get this look, without having to wait months for your hair to grow, or getting the extensions, but if you'd like to change your look just occasionally, synthetic wigs are the right option for you! They're made of nice quality and very fun to wear. When you feel like you want to play with your looks and see yourself in a totally different way, but then go back to your "old self", try picking a pair (or a few pairs!) of fun wigs that will totally surprise everyone who knows you!


There are many satisfied customers and bloggers speaking about uniwigs and sharing their creative looks! Which one do you like best for this festive season?
I think the choice depends on the outfit: In some occasions shorter hairstyles will be more flattering, whether some outfits look more special with long, luscious locks.

For my Christmas dinner party with colleagues from work, I opted for long luscious locks in ombre and I really liked this glam look! I wore a long dress and a pair of suede ankle high booties.

Fashion wigs are, as I previously mentioned, very fun to wear. I often like to experiment with crazy hair colors, but this can be quite damaging, and fashion trends change very quickly. Opting for a wig is a safe way to keep your hair in good condition and the option of creating different looks and keeping always up with trends, are endless.

I hope this inspired you!
Let me know what hairstyle will you wear for a Christmas dinner party?
