Beautify and Creatify

2016 was a year of glow. Everyone making sure that their glow is seen from the Moon and taking the subtle strobing to the next level. In 2017 this trend does not to seem to fade out, in fact every time I post a photo like the one below, I receive questions about how I make my highlight pop in photos. Today, I decided to talk about it and share all my tips and tricks on how I make my highlight pop in pictures and in real life.

Hello my beautiful readers! I know, I know, it's been a while! But I'm back and here to stay! If you follow me on other social media platforms, you pretty much see me there regularly, however I also want to give same attention to my happy place in this web world - my blog!  Just a quick update, I decided to change my handle names to make it easier for me to do business in the future (all my handle updates are on the home page of the blog), but if you are following me already on other outlets, then it's all still the same, just different name.  Today I want to share with you beautiful makeup look that was inspired by Emma Stone's makeup from her Golden Globes 2017 appearance. I loved her Old Hollywood style hair and soft makeup, as well as her outfit - everything about this look was just perfect. I thought it is such a wonderful look for upcoming Valentine's day and decided to recreate it. 

Hi beauties! How are you doing? Hope your day is filled with positivity and laughter. Let us take a moment and be grateful for what we have at this moment, be it our health, family, friends, roof over our head or food on our table. Sometimes we concentrate on what we want in life and forget to appreciate what we already have. And always remember, universe is like a mirror, it reflects what you put out to it. Thus, let's put only great and positive thoughts out there, and hope only for the best! Enough for the inspirational intro, let's get to business. Today's post is about Jouer Cosmetics new Fall 2016 collection, which consists of Essential Matte and Shimmer Palette, Highlighters in Citrine, Topaz and Rose Quartz, New Slim creme eyeliners in matte black, matte plum and matte brown. Also, it includes ten new lip creme colors and a new lip topper in Tan lines. Among all the listed products above from Jouer's fall collection, perhaps the most anticipated and hyped pro...

Today is Halloween, Last day of October, which was a breast cancer awareness month. I decided to "squeeze" in this post before this month is over, just to mention that awareness should not end with it. It is always smart to get a mammogram done from time to time or self examine continuously, since early detection is key in overcoming this horrible disease in the beginning stages. Self examining is easy and anyone can do it! Set a time in a month, where you can lay down flat and raise your hand above your head and feel the tissue around the breast. If you notice any abnormal sized lumps, it's better to get them checked. Breast tissue itself has some structure, once you start self examining, you'll learn what "normal" looks and feels for you. Once you start noticing any change in skin appearance or the tissue itself, get it checked for the peace of mind. I'm not a medical professional, but I wanted to use this platform to remind you that you body is your ...

Hi beauties! How are you? I can not believe that Fall is already here! Summer has been so much fun, we got to travel overseas past month and had a chance to visit beautiful countries and cities. Traveling is always fun, but it's also nice to be back home, back to old routines and my passion - blogging.  Today I want to share with you this beautiful matte plum smokey eye look paired with gorgeous dark lip. I love how the colors in this look are from the same range, yet still so different. Even in this hot Texas fall this year, after wearing this look I finally realized that Fall is here and thus the season of Holidays has officially started. I hope you find this tutorial useful. 

Hi beauties! Hope all is well with you! I'm excited to share with you today's blog post, which will be about Japonesque new Velvet Touch Eyeshadow and Face Palettes. I have never tried Japonesque products before, but have heard a lot of great reviews about the brand, so I was so curious to try out the palettes. These palettes will be available in the last week of August. I was reached out by Japonesque representative, who asked if I'll be interested in trying them out before the official launch date. I couldn't miss the opportunity and responded immediately with "YES, PLEASE!"  When I got my hands on palettes, first thing that drew my attention was high quality packaging. Their magnetic palettes were sturdy and convenient, eyeshadows are well secured and seem safe from shattering. After swatching the palettes, I was very impressed with the quality of products, so I decided to sit down and film my whole experience, by sharing my first impression review, d...

Hello Lovelies! Hope you are doing well! Do you use Snapchat? It is a social media tool where you can share moments from your day which your friends can watch for the next 24 hours and then it expires. I like how the Snapchat content can be spontaneous and fun, but most of all, my favorite part about it is filters! I love how with filters you can become someone else, put a quick makeup on or even puke rainbows! Follow me on snapchat (username delia_bc, snapcode is on this blog's home page), where I do makeup unboxing, extended reviews of products with follow ups, share my tips and tricks, as well as post some glimpses from my everyday life. Since I loved the filters, I decided to collaborate with one of my IpsyOS friends to do a snapchat filter tutorial on my Youtube channel. I picked out one of the most used filters, which is a dog filter to recreate!

Hello Beauties!!! I received an email a few weeks ago to write a post about my Springtime skin care routine. Well, if you follow me on Snapchat, you already know I am a big skincare geek (if you don't, add me: delia_bc). I always try out new products, give my extended review throughout the weeks and share my favorites all the time. Today I decided to write about my Spring/Summer skin care routine and also review few of the items that I am currently using. It is going to be one long post, so buckle up.

Hi dears! Sorry, I've been little away the past month, I'm now back! This blog is my "home base", this is where I started my beauty journey, so it's really dear to me and every single one of you who read it are very valuable and I appreciate you so much. It's good to be back and now, let's get to the business! Today I'm going to present lip swatches of Avon true color perfectly matte lipsticks line, which consists of 12 shades. The shades are beautiful, some of them are super matte, whereas some seem to have little shine, but quite unnoticeable. However, unlike other matte lipsticks I own, these glide so smoothly and do not dry out my lips.
