OROGOLD Cosmetics

Today I need to share my discovery that I've made about a year ago. I 've seen OROGOLD cosmetics many times  through the people offering me free samples of  day moisturizer on the streets but somehow I thought its just another brand who wants to force be to buy their product. In August I went for some holiday shopping at Kensington high street. I was just about to jump in to the tube station when I was passing by the OROGOLD store. Unexpectedly one , handsome guy offered me a sample and I decided to take it (I've tried it once before and it was surprisingly good). The guy was  charming enough (with his probably prepared speech for promoting the brand) that he persuaded me to see some more products which I was very skeptical about. I had a chance to see and actually try out some products from the 'gold' range and I was positively surprised with the results.

My pick was the 24K Deep Peeling formulated with 24K Gold small pieces along with ingredients such as, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Green Tea. It works right away ,the second I massaged it onto my face. Ir removes a thin layer of dry cells as well as deeply cleanse the pores from make up remains and any impurities under your skin . It leaves the skin youthful and  super soft without stripping away vital oils or causing irritation. I use it once a week or  even less depending on how my skin feels and truly it is enough as the effect stays on for a long period of time. I was very pleased with the results and the way how the skin looks, radiant and fresh .

NAKED URBAN DECAY

This week I will be reviewing few of my favorite cosmetics that I have recently used. Number one on my list is well known NAKED palette from Urban Decay cosmetic brand. I've decided to go with the original one as it suited my style and I like to have some matt colors in range as well as eyeshadow with glitzy shine. I love using eyeshadow almost every day therefore NAKED palette is perfect for casual, delicate look as well as Friday's out dramatic cat eyes. 

Each eyeshadow looks as good as it looks in the box and have a vibrant, juicy color. It also stays up for a very long time especially with additional touch of URBAN DECAY eyeshadow primer potion range which can hold your eye make up for 24 hours and frankly it is true!Starting from the ORIGINAL primer potion which is invisible to keep color in place, EDEN that has nude matt formula preparing lids and preventing shadow meltdown, SIN with shimmering,baby pink color formula preventing fading and creasing or ANTI-AGING potion which improves appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brightens the skin and gives radiance and clarity. There is a lot to choose from suitable for each one of you. 

I like to blend shadows together to make it more interesting and also emphasis the color of my eyes. My best pick is mixing virgin, naked followed by the buck and lastly dark horse eyeshadow. For me this choice is a casual ,every day make up choice as well as perfect night-out look when you add a sharp,black eye-line. I could write an essay of how amazing this palette is and how much more enjoyable putting  make up on is now.

Another great product from URBAN DECAY is NAKED skin weightless liquid make up. It truly is weightless and doesn't leave a feeling of heavy, oily skin but adjusts to it covering redness and breakouts well. For all of you who hate having too much make up but have something to cover up this one is to die for.

In The Red.

Dreamers Delight- Under the Sheets

''Red serves as a style statement these days indicating a woman who wants to be noticed''

Every color that is bright or deep looks amazing and that's not a question. Yellow, blue,pink,orange and there is also RED. Red has that something, that spark. Whenever it's on our lips,our nails or our clothes, it represents something bold and it comes with more baggage than any other shade in the spectrum. We are so familiar with that color like with any other but it still raises temperature and can excite controversy at times. We've seen red in fashion through out all these years but when it comes back on runway we still get a feeling that it's fresh and totally new. Maybe it's because in red we don't need to add much. I have a red dress, there's nothing else to add or said. Let's go back 54 years to the past when Valentino Garavani popularized red gowns in 60s. It became the Italian designer's signature and most desirable ,first for actresses, singers and all celebrities then by the whole world. Red serves as a style statement not only today but also in the past. However some things has changed. Today it indicates a woman who wants to be noticed  and not only as being a sexual predator. Many women were noticed or even got famous for their passion for red making their mark in show-business like Merlin Monroe and Rita Hayworth in 40s/50s , Madonna, Rita Ora and her red lips or Sky Ferreira just to list a few. There is red to suit almost any character. Starting from orange scarlet to dark maroon shade, from a red dress to small red accessory , maybe vintage style ruby ring?
The biggest question is ''.. did red became such a dominant, overpowering ,sexual color because it's bright or were the charismatic and confident people the only ones brave enough to tackle its brightness?''
