Fish Under The Coat - Salad/Side Dish Recipe

Image
Hello, dear blog readers! Today I would like to present to you this awesome recipe of a salad/side dish that is named fish under the coat or fish under the fur coat. Let's go ahead and get it started! You'll need (for one small to medium plate of the salad): 1 can of any fish in the oil (I used sprouts, but sardines work just as well) 2 boiled potatoes 4 boiled medium sized carrots 1/4 onion 2 beetroots boiled 2 hard boiled eggs 6-8 tablespoons of mayonnaise Some salt Grater 1. Mash the fish on the plate with the fork 2. This step is optional. If you don't like onions, you can skip this step. Grate the onions on smaller grate side and drain the juice out. Mix the grated part of the onion with the fish.  3. Spread 1/2 of the fish on the plate with a thin layer, so it barely covers the bottom. 4. Grate 2 carrots and spread over the fish. 5. Spread 1-2 tbsp of mayonnaise over the carrots. 6. Grate 1 of potatoes and spread over the mayonnaise. Sprink...

Doll Transformation Makeup

Hello, my beautiful blog readers!!!  Today I'd like to present to you something extraordinary and experimental, that I've tried to do last week - Doll Makeup Transformation. I just wanted to share with you how makeup can change one's appearance and make them look so fictional. I decided to show you how you can recreate this look, so that if you might decide to transform yourself into a doll this Halloween, you'll have a reference :). I apologize for poorer quality pictorial photo, since it was taken using my phone. So, let's get started! 1. After priming the eye lids, using eyeliner pencil extend the eye shape by drawing a line along the upper lash line, bringing it outwards and then connecting with the lower lid, as shown above. 2. Fill in the space with drawn extended eye with white eyeliner or white eyeshadow. 3. Now, imagining the drawn extension as an eye shape, draw a cut crease line on crease all the way above extended lash line. 4. Ap...

Hello, Beauties! As I promised in my post "Four Different Ways to Shape and Fill in Eyebrows" , today I'll be talking broadly about tips and tricks of perfectly shaped and filled brows. Eyebrows are frames of the face. I cannot stretch enough how correctly shaped eyebrows can accentuate your beauty and make your face features stand out. As I mentioned in my previous post (link is above), today I will be expanding the topic of initial shaping of the brows. Let's begin! There are many ways to shape the brows by plucking, waxing, threading or bleaching. I've written before that it is the best if you can follow the natural shape of your brows as much as possible. However, everyone has different brows: some very thin, some very thick, some nicely shaped and some with undefined shape. If you happen to be the latter one, here is a helpful chart I found online, that shows what eyebrow shape you should aim for according to your face shape. Image from Google Once ...

Soft Purple and Pink Smokey Look

Hello my beautiful readers! Today I'd like to show you how to recreate the following subtle and soft purple and pink smokey look. This is one of my favorite makeup looks, since it is colorful, yet so subtle. You can combine this look with soft pink lipstick or lip gloss. Let's get started!      1. Start by priming your lids. I never get tired of emphasizing how important this step is, especially when you want to create smokey effect. Priming helps blend the colors better, as well as increasing longevity of shadows. 2. Apply shimmery white shade in the inner corner of the eye, bringing towards 1/3 of both upper and lower lids. 3. Apply rosy pink on the remaining 2/3 of the lid. For both steps 2 and 3 you can use eyeshadow brushes. 4. Using small angled brush apply black eyeshadow on the outer 2/3 of lower lid and bring the color upwards along the crease, over the pink shade. 5. Apply purple shadow over the black trace and using blending brush ...
