Beautify and Creatify

Hello my blogger family! I'd like to share with you one of my favorite recipes - Beef Stroganoff! I'm sure there are many ways to prepare this meal, but this is the way I like to cook it and it turns out delicious every single time! Let's get it started!      You'll need: 1 large onion (2 if small) 0.5 to 1 lb beef 4-5 mushrooms 3/4 cup of sour cream Cooking oil (I used olive oil) Salt and spices (I use ground garlic, basil, parsley and paprika)      Start off by cutting and chopping everything :). Slice the onions, cut the beef and mushrooms as shown in the picture.   Now pour a little bit of cooking oil into the pan and stir-fry beef and mushrooms. They do not need to be done, just little sautéed. You can add some spices and little bit of salt while stir frying. Once beef and mushrooms sautéed, take them out of the pan and place in the plate.   Add onions right away to the same pan where you sautéed ...

Hello Beauties! Today I'd like to present to you very fun tutorial that is very easy to recreate!   This lip art can be also called animated lip art or pop art lip. But I think cartoon lips describe this lip art very well too! It is amazing how animated the lips look, huh? Let's get started!      1. Start off by applying concealer/foundation all over the lips. 2. Apply the lipliner on the lips and fill the entire lips with it. 3. Outline the shape of the lips using black eyeliner. 4. Using the same liner draw a line in between, where the lips meet. Both on upper and lower lip. 5. Using liquid eyeliner draw little strokes that would resemble little folds/wrinkles of the lips. 6. Last, but not least, using face paint (or if you have a white liquid liner, you can use that too) draw some lines that would artificially make the lips glow.   That's it! Hope you liked today's creative lip art. "Others have seen what is and asked ...

You can recreate this look with any color you want and it is wearable everywhere, everyday! It is perfect for summer, fun, yet very subtle look. Let's get started! 1. Begin by priming your lids. 2.

Using angled brush and turquoise(or any other color) eyeshadow draw the outline of the thick wing above your lashline.  4. Using smaller brush start blending the line outwards, by adding some color if necessary.  5. Apply white shimmer color within the outlined wing line.  6. Spray MAC fix+ spray on your brush (you can also use eye drops instead of fix+) and using the same turquoise shadow define the line once again. ...

Since I haven't written posts with DIY projects lately, I thought this week I would write one. Moreover, several weeks ago I finished my wall decor project! So, as you guessed, this post will be about creating yet another beautiful wall art piece for your house. Let's get started! I started off with 4 canvases and just 3 types of acrylic paint: black, white and grey. I wanted this wall art to be classic... in black and white... Thus, i painted all four canvases into black.  For this wall decor I picked picture of tulips as a background: two tulips connected with each others' leaves. Then I added some glowing effect and couple more paint touches. By the way, I was mixing the grey paint with a drop of black to make it darker, or with a drop of white to make it lighter, depending on what I needed. So here are steps 1-2-3 of the process.  Initially, I picked such background as the top of the painting would be empty, so I can write down inspirational quote...

Today's post will be about how to create neutral thin cut crease cat eye look. This look can be worn anywhere, whether it is special occasion or just a daily life event. This look is also a perfect elegant bridal look for any bride on her special day. Let's get started! 1. Start off by priming your eyes using eye shadow primer.  2. Using a black eyeliner pencil draw line by defining your crease and creating cat-eye shaped edge on the outer corner of the lid.  3.

Using matte black eyeshadow start gently blending the eyeliner towards the center of the lid until you reach smooth and gradient effect.  6. Using a black eyeliner pencil draw a line on the lower lid, right below the lashline/lashes. 7. Using matte black shadow blend the eyeliner by extending it ...

Today I'd like to share with you very easy recipe of a meal that I love to make. Baked vegetables! It is perfect as a side or main entree, and most importantly super healthy and delicious. All you need is any vegetables of your choice, salt and spices, couple of spoons of olive oil and some mayonnaise (optional). Let's begin! Choose any vegetables that you love, cut and slice them up. I picked onions, carrots, peppers, potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and green beans. You'll need couple of each vegetable, or some more of your favorite! If you choose to add potato, try to slice it thinner, since it takes relatively longer to cook than other veggies. Now, put all cut and sliced veggies in the bowl and mix them up. In a separate small dish take 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and add some salt and spices of your choice. Mix the spices with oil and drizzle over the vegetables. Mix the vegetables once again with the spices mixture, in order to spread spices to all veggies....

I love purple! Especially, I love wearing purple eyeshadows on my eyes. Purple has so many different shades that could look great on any eye color. In today's blog post I want to show you an easy tutorial of how to create pretty purple eye makeup for everyday life. Let's begin! For this look you'll need 3 different shades of purple. But if you don't have 3 shades of purple, you can always replace lightest shade with soft pink color. Or, you can create darkest shade of purple by mixing the purple shadow with darker gray or black shades. So, here are the steps: 1. Apply eyeshadow primer all over the lid. You know how I always emphasize the importance of this step... 2. Using eyeshadow brush, pack lightest purple shade all over the lid. 3. Using bit darker purple and pencil brush, define your crease and blend out the color nicely with blending brush. 4. Take the darkest purple and apply it on the outer "V" of the eye by bringing it down to the e...
