Brush collection by Gejba Parokeets

Make-up brushes for beginners

Majority of posts on Parokeets blog are written with make-up enthusiasts in mind. I always picture one of the Parokeets ladies, fellow blogger or one of our readers on the other side of the conversation. I love debating with you about different finishes, limited editions, bristles … details that tend to bore others to death, … Read more

Maestra was shopping

I did some beauty shopping in the past couple of days or even weeks and I wanted to show  you what I got. I will not bore you with a long intro, so let just jump onto the good stuff. There were some high end stuff on sale and two things got my attentions. Guerlain Parure … Read more

Jessica - Sherbet 390

Shop my stash: Jessica – Sherbet (NOTD)

I will be completely honest with you. After giving birth to my beautiful baby boy, I have neglected my huge stash of nail polishes and I neglected my nails as well. There were months where my nails were naked all the time. I just couldn’t be bothered. And that was two years ago! A while … Read more

Skin care favourites 2015

Best skin care products of 2015

I will remember 2015 mostly as the year I decided to review few products I was really sceptical about and they turned out to be regulars on my shopping list. AlpStories Cleansing Gel Sage And Mint A year ago I received very kind invitation from AlpStories to test out 2 of their products. Majority didn’t … Read more

Favourite perfumes of 2015

Before I jump to the list of my favourite perfumes of the last year (or if you prefer most used perfumes), I have to say that I do not have my signature scent. I’ve tried to find “my scent”, but I just cannot commit to just one scent. I can’t imagine myself wearing the same … Read more

Blogoversary with 2015 top posts

Not so long ago I was asked how long have I been blogging … and I could not remember. 6, 7, 8 years? I frankly had no clue. It would be simple to blame it on my thyroid, but I think this was good old “I’ve been doing this so long it seems like ages” … Read more

Alessandro Velvet Red (Pret-a-Porter) + Manhattan 570 Club Nights layering

Ideas for simple and quick New Year’s Eve party manicure

I dedicated my free time in the last few months 2015 to my fellow Slovenian beauty bloggers (deserved and long overdue) and am announcing that whole January is now officially yours, dear readers. But let us first end (for me horrible) 2015 with pretty nail polishes. I feel like wrapping up all the negative things … Read more

New in video

New In: 2 in 1

Video bug bit me again. For one simple reason – I am much faster talker than writer. As I decided to start doing more comparison posts/videos and in general test a lot more products, I find it easier to first present more interesting ones in video format and then do my (too) thorough testing.

OPI Venice nail polish fall 2015

OPI Venice (fall 2015)

OPI Venice is classical but still interesting fall 2015 collection from OPI. They covered wide range of colours from pastel blue to the darker red. I do love Zoya formula more (Flair&Focus collection), but OPI totally got me with their colour range. I kind of like even OPI Gelato on my mind, and I’m more … Read more
