♕ My Essential Makeup Brushes ♕{Spectrum Collections, Mac Cosmetics, Real Techniques}

A couple of weeks ago I showed you my makeup essentials, those basic product I use in almost every single makeup look. I also have essential makeup brushes that I reach for everyday as well - and you may have noticed that: I always list all the brushes I use to achieve my makeup looks, and many of them are always the same - although I have a ton of brushes to choose from!
So I thought I could do another essential episode, focusing on brushes only this time - and that's exactly what I'm going to do today! I'm going to show you all of my favourite and most used brushes - face, eye, lip... Every kind of brush that it's irreplaceable for me!

All my favourite dinglehoppers in my favourite holder ;D My personal mermaid treasure ♥

♕ The Pokémon Series ~ Flareon ♕{Eeveelutions Mini Series}

New episode of The Pokémon Series! Last week I showed you the water-type eeveelution, aka Vaporeon, inspired look: today I'm going to show you the fire-type eeveelution - Flareon!
You know, water and fire are my favourite elements ever, love them both equally, but this time fire came second! ;D I have many fire-type Pokémon that I deeply love - Vulpix, Ninetales, Charmander, just to mention a few - but Vaporeon is unbeatable u.u 

Flareon, the Flame Pokémon.

Type: Fire

"Flareon's fluffy fur has a functional purpose - it releases heat into the air so that its body does not get excessively hot. This Pokémon's body temperature can rise to a maximum of 1,650 degrees F (900 degrees Celsius)"

♕ The Mermaid Series ~ Mermaid Crown Princess Make Up ♕

Today's look features an Instagram trend: the Princess/Crown/Tiara makeup look! First created by Marissa Melhron, this look spread across Instagram instantaneously - starting the trend. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try *___* But I had to wait until I found the original creator - so I could give her all the due credits... This took me a while because seems like no one credited her in the first place. Which is sad and unfair: please always credit the creators whenever you get inspired by a look/ideas/whatever. It's a sign of respect towards the artist and his/her work!

And now, without further ado, here's my attempt at this royal make up!

♕ Winter 2017 Most Played ♕

Today's vernal equinox - which means winter is now over and spring is finally here! *_* I think I've never been as happy for spring as I am today - I love winter, I definitely prefer cold over warm temperatures... But this winter really felt heavy, somehow oppressive, I couldn't wait for spring to arrive! Now I'm looking forward to sunny days and light dresses :D

Anyway, vernal equinox means it's also Winter Most Played time, so today I'm going to show you alllll the products I used the most during this past season :D

As always, all credits for the Most Played idea go to GoldenVi0let ♥

♕ The Pokémon Series ♕ Vaporeon ♕{Eeveelutions Mini Series}

Time for a new Pokémon inspired look! After Eevee, the unevolved base form, let's move to its evolutions - or, as they're usually called, its eeveelutions.
Eevee, as of now, can evolve in 8 different species - all different and absolutely unique.
I followed their chronological, generations order so I started with Gen I ones - and I absolutely had to do my favourite first... Vaporeon, the water-type eeveelution! (It's such a cutie! ♥)

Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokémon.
Type: Water
"Lives close to water. Its long tail is ridged with a fin which is often mistaken for a mermaid's. As it uses the fins on the tip of its tail to swim, it blends with the water perfectly. "

♕ My Beauty Routine ♕ Part 1: Skincare {2017} ♕{Mini Reviews}

I don't recall when I last wrote a post about my skincare/haircare routines... A couple of years ago, to say the least, I guess. It's definitely time for a big update, don't you think? :D

I decided to split the two routines and write a post each, since I have quite some products to show you. Today I'm going to share my current skincare routine (lipcare & bodycare included) and focus on all the products I use ♥

♕ Make Up Look ♕ Tropical Eyes ♕

Today's look is colourful, bright, very summery! I don't know about you, but even though I really love wintertime I'm quite sick of cold and bad weather... I'm so ready for summer and getting back to mermaiding! *_* So last week, while waiting for warmer temperatures, I created this makeup - that feels so tropical thanks to the shades used!
