Tuna Salad with Zucchini & Walnuts Recipe
Sandra
I wasn't sure whether or not to share the recipe for this tuna salad with you, because it's the simplest thing ever, but I've been so obsessed with it recently it would be a crime not to. So, these are the ingredients I put in: romaine lettuce, plum tomatoes, corn, tuna, walnuts and sauted zucchini. I season everything with sunflower oil, balsamic vinegar and salt, but sometimes, if I'm feeling naughty, I also add in a spoon of mayo and sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top. That's it! I told you it's easy... But so, so good! Let me know if you try it.

The Best Lip Products for Fall 2016
Sandra
For some reason, I'm crazy excided for fall this year. Usually I would be sitting in the corner and mourning the best season of them all - summer, duh - but not this time around! I'm actually looking forward to foggy crisp mornings, hot sugary drinks, cozy nights in, and amazing fall shades. Not only the ones you can spot in nature!
I've always had a soft spot for bold burgundy and violet lip numbers, and fall is just the perfect season to rock them, don't you agree? But that's not to say the nudes get to take a time out. They're still very much in front of my makeup drawer, especially if they're matte!
To find out which exactly I'll be carrying in my bag this upcoming season, watch the video below! There's some nude and some bold options, and I made sure to include hand and lip swatches as well this time so that you can see them in all their glory. And remember, don't skidaddle before telling me what you'll be wearing on your lips this fall!

Fall Beauty & Lifestyle Favorites
Sandra
Finally a new video! It's been a while, I know. With that in mind, I hope you have nothing against long ones, because today's got a bit out of hand, haha. What can I say, I had a lot of awesome things to talk about. Oh, and there might be a secret giveaway half way through. Just saying... :)

My Go-to Fall Nude Lip Products
Sandra
Kylie Jenner and her nude lips. She definitely brought back a trend that took the beauty world by storm. I myself have never been a fan of true nudes on me, because they simply don't suit me, but I've definitely grown to love slightly darker neutral shades as of recently. I'm not sure if these can be even classified as nudes, but they're my version of nude, so this is what I'm going to call them.

Essence 'Natural Beauty' Longlasting Lipstick: This one is my old favourite. I've repurchased it two times already and I feel like I'll be repurchasing it until I die. It's the perfect on-the-go shade with a slight pink undertone that seems to go great together with every single makeup look I wear. It has a permanent place in my handbag, not only because of its 'my lips but better' shade, but also because it's extremely comfortable to wear due to its creaminess.

Milani 'Nude' Color Statement Lip Liner: Telling you that I'm obsessed with this product right now is probably an understatement. I've been wearing it ALL THE TIME during the past month. It's just perfect and I'm so glad I have it in my possesion. I almost gave up on the search for the perfect nude lip liner, as I could never find the shade I was looking for. I hate how pretty much all of them are either full on pink or brown, but this one is right there in the middle. Love! So, we've established that the shade is awsome. How about the formula, you ask? It's flippin' amazing as well. It feels creamy but looks matte, so you get the best of both worlds - comfort and staying power.

NYX 'Tack' Color Lip Balm: I wasn't sure about this one when I first got it (I won it in a giveaway), because it looked burgundy in the tube, but once I applied it on my lips, I knew that it was a keeper straight away. A lip balm consistency makes sure your lips are nice and moisturized during the cold months, while the pigmentation leaves you with a nice dark pop of neutral colour. You can apply one coat if you want it to look suble or layer it up for a stronger effect. I personally also love wearing it over the Milani lip liner. Match made in heaven!

How are you feeling about the nude lip trend that is currently going on? Love it or hate it? What are your favourite nudes?

Get Ready With Me: Fall Makeup Tutorial
Sandra
The season of dark bold lips has opened! I gave up on summer coming to my country this year, so I decided to embrace the fall weather along with fall makeup once and for all. This is the look I created a few days ago before going out for a drink with my friend, and since I wasn't in a hurry, I decided to film a quick 'get ready with me' while applying my make-up. You can check out the video below. :)

Sweater Weather Lookbook
Sandra
Hey guys! Sorry for being a bit MIA for the past few days. I started my MUA school and I don't even have time to check my e-mails, let alone reply to comments or read other blogs. Sorry about that. I will be back to normal in two weeks. Today, I have a pre-recorded fashion video for you. I don't really like how it turned out, but I decided to share it with you anyways, since there probably won't be any new posts going up this week. Oh, and another thing I want to address is how stupid youtube is becoming. I was pretty much forced to link my channel with a new Google+ page I had to create over the weekend, and now I can't even respond to comments on there anymore! I'm seriously pissed off right now. Are any of you experiencing similar problems? What can do to fix that? I swear I'm gonna lose my mind if I won't be able to respond to comments anymore. Interaction is my favourite part about youtube and blogging, so this would totally kill it for me. I mean, how else could I communicate with my subscribers and answer their questions?! Arrggghhh.

My Bolder Fall Makeup Look
Sandra
A few weeks ago, I shared my everyday fall makeup look with you, which looks very natural, but today I'm here to show you the bolder version that ends up on my face whenever I'm feeling a bit 'braver'. The truth is, I LOVE bold lipsticks, but I never tend to wear them outside my house. I'm always worried that they will smudge all over my face and I don't want to be one of those girls who need to correct their lipstick every five minutes. So, the only time I opt for a bolder version is when I go to some sort of a fancier party. Which doesn't happen very often. Oh, and when have like two hours to do my makeup. You wouldn't believe how much time it takes to get those kind of lipsticks smudge proof, transfer free, and precise! Please tell me I'm not the only one having such problems... XD

My Everyday Fall Make-up Look
Sandra
We're already in the middle of October - Oh god, where did September go?! - so I thought it was time for me to finally film the promised go-to fall make-up look tutorial/get ready with me video. I really don't like calling this type of videos tutorials, because let's face it, I am not a make-up artist and I am definitely not anywhere near skilled enough to teach other people how to apply make-up. I first need to learn how to do it properly myself, and then I can maybe teach other people. Ok, why did I just feel the need to tell you this? This is what happens when I'm writing posts at 2 am. Oh, god. Or maybe it's just nerves. I'm starting my make-up school in less than a month and I'm freaking out! I feel like I won't be able to do anything and will just fail all the exams and all of my dreams will go down the drain. Help?! Anyway, enough with my rambling. It doesn't even make sense and has nothing to do with today's post. Umm, yeah, so, please go watch my latest video? You can find it below... :D

My Top 10 Nail Polishes for Fall/Winter
Sandra
Hey everyone! How has your week been so far? Mine was pretty awful, but I'll tell you more about the terrible situation I'm in on Sunday (if you follow me on twitter, you might already know what's going on). Today I just wanted to tell you that I wrote a guest post on Shang's blog. I pretty much chose my top 10 nail polishes for fall/winter - which was really hard to do - and told a few things about each one. You can check out the post here. Below you have a little preview. :)
