If you expected a post about makeup, this is not it, I just felt the need to sit and write. I feel like this is the place where I have the freedom to express myself. I can't decide if this year went fast or slow but I just know that I'm glad it's over. There were some very good and some very bad things that happened, good I will remember, bad I hope not. So I only want to talk about good ones.

I finished my first year of architecture, it was tough and I'm proud of myself if I'm allowed to say that. I had an amazing time at Exit in July where I spent some quality time with two of my best friends and listened to some amazing music. Then I went to Greece with my boyfriend and another very good friend of mine with her boyfriend, it was so nice. I miss the waves and the stars so much.

My birthday this year was very important, I don't know if everyone will get it but I haven't touched my phone that day (night actually). The truth is that I spend too much time browsing social media looking for something, wishing for something, life I want to live? But that night I had everything that I needed. And when I blew my candles I wished that everything just stays like that.

And finally, 2015 was the year that I went out of my comfort zone and started this blog. Honestly, there were some people that I expected more support from, but I can't complain because there is good number of people that do support me, and it actually opened my eyes a lot. I never expected to succeed right in the beginning, I just started with a goal to do my best and always give my honest opinion. And enjoy it because the only reason I'm doing this is because I love doing it.

In 2015 I also got two new tattoos, big ones this time, and they mean so much to me.

For New Years Eve I'm staying at home with my loved one because that's what I want, to welcome it in family love, piece and laughter. I just need to love and feel loved. This year made me weaker because of the people, things, nerves and health I lost in it, but it also made me stronger because I learned what is really important in life. So if you got to here, and if you ever read my posts, thank you so much for that, it really means a lot to me. Really happy New Year's and lot of love and laughter in it! 

   Ako ste očekivali post o šminki, ovo nije to, samo sam želela da sednem i ispričam se (možda i sama sa sobom), jer ovde imam slobodu. Ne mogu da se odlučim da li je ova godina prošla brzo ili sporo, ali znam da mi je drago što se završila. Bilo je i mnogo dobrog i mnogo lošeg, dobro ću pamtiti, a loše nadam se zaboraviti. Priča mi se jedino o onim dobrim.

Završila sam prvu godinu arhitekture, bilo je teško i ponosna sam na sebe, ako smem to da kažem. Predobro sam se provela u julu na Exit-u gde sam provela malo više vremena sa dve od mojih najboljih drugarica i slušala sjajnu muziku. Onda sam išla na more sa dečkom i još jednom jako dobrom drugaricom i bilo je pre div no. Nedostaju mi talasi i zvezde mnogo.

Moj rodjendan ove godine mi je jako značajan jer, ne znam da li će iko razumeti ali, nisam uzela telefon u ruke ceo dan (tj noć). Istina je da provodim previše vremena na društvenim mrežama tražeći nešto, želeći nešto, život kakav želim? Ali te noći sam imala sve što mi treba. I kada sam oduvala svećice, poželela sam samo da sve ostane baš tako.

I napokon, 2015. je godina kada sam se oslobodila i počela ovaj blog. Iskreno, od nekih ljudi sam očekivala više podrške, ali ne mogu da se žalim jer postoji dovoljno osoba koje me podržavaju i zapravo sam mnogo toga shvatila. Nikada nisam ni očekivala ni mislila da ću uspeti odmah na početku, samo sam počela sa ciljem da dam najbolje što imam i uvek budem iskrena. I uživam u njemu jer je jedini razlog mog bavljenja svime ovim zato što to volim. 

U 2015. sam se takodje tetovirala još 2 puta, ovoga puta veliko i znače mi mnogo.

2016.-u ću čekati u toplini doma sa onima koje volim jer je to ono što želim, da joj pružim dobrodošlicu u ljubavi, miru i smehu. Jedino što želim je da volim i da se osećam voljeno. Ova godina me je očinila slabijom zbog ljudi, stvari, nerava i zdravlja koje sam izgubila, ali me je takodje ojačala jer sam naučila šta je stvarno važno u životu. Akoste izdržali do ovde sa čitanjem, i ako ikada i čitate šta ja pišem, hvala beskrajno, mnoo mi znači. Veoma srećna Nova Godina i mnogo ljubavi i smeha u njoj!

Love you all so much, D

    Every person that knows me well knows how much I love h&m. Not only as a budget clothes brand, but especially as home decor and beauty brand. Unfortunately, in Serbia you can't find home or beauty stuff. But I am lucky to have one of my best friends living in Ljubljana so I got the chance to be introduced to this beautiful products.

The first thing is The works session hairspray which I can't wait to try out! First of all, just look at this packaging. It is soo nice! And you get 250ml here. They describe it as a soft-hold hairspray with a flexible, workable formula that’s easy to layer and restyle. I actually read an article on elle.rs about Gigi Hadid's 3 beauty rules for hair, and one of them was to spray it with this kind of hairspray a little bit after you dry it, to give it texture. I will report you about my impressions of it really soon.

Second, and so glam, are those Hypnotise lashes which are so beautiful. They are elegant false eyelashes that create fullness and definition and can add impact to any look. Easy to apply and easy to remove. I can't wait to wear them!

I hope I will get my hands on some more h&m beauty because I think it's such a nice price for a good quality.

P.S. I entered a competition in Elle magazine for a beauty assistant, so wish me luck! You can enter here.

   Svako ko me me dobro poznaje zna koliko volim h&m. Ne samo kao brend odeće, nego i kao kućnu dekoraciju i kozmetiku. Nažalost, nama u Srbiju još nije stiglo ni jedna od ta dva. Ali ja sam imala sreće da mi jedna od najboljih drugarica živi u Ljubljani, pa sam dobila mogućnost da isprobam neke od njihovih divnih proizvoda.

Prva stvar je ovaj The works session hairspray koji ne mogu da dočekam da isprobam. Kao prvo, samo pogledajte pakovanje. Toliko je divno! I dobijate 250ml. Opisuju ga kao lagani sprej za kosu koji je drži, ali u isto vreme čini fleksibilnom za stilizovanje. Čitala sam na elle.rs članak o 3 beauty pravila Gigi Hadid o kosi, jedno od njih joj jeste da prska ovakav sprej na kosu nakon što je osuši. Obavestiću vas o svojim utiscima čim ga isprobam dovoljno.

Sledeće su ove glamurozne i divne Hypnotise veštačke trepavice. Elegantne su i trepavicama daju punoću, teksturu i mogu ulepšati i poboljšati bilo koji makeup look. Lake su za korišćenje i uklanjanje, a ja jedva čekam da ih probam.

Nadam se da ću uskoro ponovo imati prilike da se dočepam h&m kozmetike, jer je stvarno sjajna. Cene su jako dobre za tako visok kvalitet.

P.S. prijavila sam se na konkurs sa beauty asistenta u Elle časopisu, tako da držite mi palčeve! Vi se možete priključiti ovde.

Love, D xx

    Today I finally decided to talk about this AMAZING nail polish that saved my nails, and the Golden Rose duo which was together about 2$ and in my opinion it's underrated.

First, about this HOLY GRAIL thingy of mine. It is by the brand Eveline and it is their 8 in 1 total action nail lacquer. Before him, I had really thin and weak nails, I could never wear them long if I wanted to because they were always breaking. But now, I don't really know what it is in this thing but it is a miracle. I have never had my nails this long and they are stronger then ever! (Actually today I shortened them a little so they were even longer) I used to put one layer of it one day, and the second layer the next day. The third day you take it off and put one layer, the second day the second layer and you go like that for about a week. After that, you just use it under your colored nail lacquers in two layers. And voila! You have strong and ling nails. Please try it if you have this kind of problem, I promise you it works!

I like to wear bright colors in summer, but my favorite color is deffinitely black for my nails (and everything else hehe). This one is actually in shade 134 which is not black but it is a very dark purple so it looks like black. The brush is big and really easy to use. And girls, this is how it looks with just one layer. Hello?! It is only 1$ and it is this good?! I don't know why would I ever give more than 1$ for a nail lacquer after this. Golden Rose, really good work!

The last step makes this color look just perfect for me. As my lips, I like my nails matte more. There are some pros and cons about exactly this mattifying nail lacquer, but to short the story, the brush is great as the effect of it, but after two days your nails get shinny again. The black nail polish though stays for more then a week if you want to.

    Danas sam napokon odlučila da pričam o ovom neverovatnom laku koji mi je spasio nokte i o Golden Rose paru koji je bio zajedno oko 300 dinara i koji je po mom mišljenju podcenjen.

Prvo, o ovom mom čudu. Brend je Eveline, a lak je njihov 8 u 1 total action. Pre njega, imala sam jako slabe i tanke nokte koje nikad nisam uspevala da pustim jer bi se listali i pucali jako brzo. Ali sad, ne znam šta to u njemu ima ali bukvalno je magija. Nikada mi nokti nisu bili ovoliko dugi i jači su nego ikada. (Zapravo danas sam ih malo skratila, što znači da su bili još duži) U početku se stavlja jedan dan jedan sloj, drugi dan drugi, pa se trećeg dana skida i ponovo stavlja jedan sloj, pa sledećeg drugi i tako u krug oko nedelju dana. Posle toga, maže se u dva sloja ispod bilo kod drugog laka i voila! Imate duge i jake nokte. Ako imate problem kao i ja probajte, obećavam da funkcioniše.

Veselije boje volim leti, ali omiljena boja na noktima mi je definitivno crna. Ovaj je zapravo u nijansi 134 što je neka tamno ljubičasta boja, ali ispadne crna. Četkica je velika i jako lako se koristi. I devojke, ovako izgleda samo jedan sloj.. košta oko 150 dinara i toliko je dobar?! Ne vidim razlog da ikad više dam više od toga za lak. Golden Rose, svaka čast!

Poslednji korak čini da ova boja meni bude savršena. Kao i usne, više volim mat nokte. Ovaj matirajući lak  ima i prednosti i mana, ali da skratim, četkica je odlična kao i efekat, medjutim posle par dana se postepeno vraća sjaj noktima. Crni lak doduše ostaje na noktima i više od nedelju dana ako želite.

Love love love, D

   I love to use the excuse 'it's my birthday' to buy things.. And finally I got the chance to cross this two things off of my wishlist. I'm sure that everyone who's a little more into makeup have heard about MAC's Velvet Teddy lipstick, probably because it is amazing. I had to try it and I needed a good nude and matte lipstick, because I don't like glossy lips at all. And this is actualy my first MAC lipstick (so exited, yaaay). The second thing that I got was the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. I ran out of my NYX HD so I had to buy a new one, and because of my birthday I decided to splurge a little and treat myself. And it's a ma zing.

   Obožavam da koristim izgovor 'rodjendan mi je' kad kupujem.. I napokon sam dobila priliku da precrtam ove dve stvari sa liste želja. Sigurna sam da si svi koje malo više zanima šminka čuli za MAC-ov Velvet Teddy karmin, verovatno zato što je predobar. Morala sam da ga probam i dugo već tražim dobar nude mat karmin, jer ne volim sjajeve i karmine koji sijaju uopšte. I ovo je moj prvi MAC karmin *uzbudjenost*. Druga stvar koju sam kupila je MAC-ov Pro Longwear korektor. Potrošila sam NYX-ov HD pa sam morala da kupim novi korektor i (zato što mi je rodjendan) odlučila sam da kupim skuplji (i definitivno bolji) i počastim se. I, predobar je.

Love, D

   I thought a lot about if I should post well known 'monthly favorites' posts, and I decided that I should but only if I do them in my own way. So I'll try to make this a tradition where at the end of every month I pick only one favorite thing from their range, like for example my favorite mug, makeup or skincare product or song. If you are interested in that, keep on reading about my first monthly favorites.

   Mnogo sam razmišljala o tome da li da radim postove kao što su dobro poznati mesečni favoriti i odlučila sam da hoću, ali samo ako ih radim na svoj način. Tako da ću da pokušam da svakog meseca izdvajam samo po jednu omiljenu stvar iz njene kategorije kao na promer omiljenu šolju, pesmu ili jedan proizvod za negu lica. Ako vas zanima, nastavite da čitate o mojim Novembarskim favoritima.

First let's talk about makeup product. It was very hard to choose, but in the end I decided that I loved the Benefit Porefessional the most. This was my birthday month so I decided to splurge a little, but I still bought the travel size one to try it out. It really keeps the oils on my skin from coming out longer throughout the day, and makes a great base for foundation. I believe I will repurchase it!

Then from makeup tools, I believe that one I loved the most is Real Techniques Brush Blush. It's sooo soft and I used it to slightly contour my face in those days where I didn't have much time for serious contouring game. (And as it was on my Christmas wishlist, my bestfriends bought it to me for my birthday. <3)

About books, I didn't have a lot of time to read, which is a shame, and I was stressed out too much this month. My boyfriend of course new that and how much I love coloring and I was talking so much about those coloring books for adults, so he found this beautiful one for me. It says that it is 'coloring for mindfulness' and I think it's very relaxing and great way to deal with stress.

Prvo hajde da pričamo o omiljenom proizvodu iz kategorije šminke. Odluka je bila jako teška ali sam odlučila da sam u novembru ipak najviše volela Benefit Porefessional. On je mesec mog rodjendana pa sam sebi želela da poklonim manje pakovanje za putovanja, jer toliko dugo želim da ga probam. Sprečava masnoću moje kože da izbije na površinu iznad pudera jako dugo tokom dana i jako je dobra baza za puder. Mislim da ću ga kupiti ponovo.

A onda moje tajna oružja, definitivn je omiljena bila Real Technique četkica za rumenilo, mada je ja koristim za blago i brzo konturisanje i puder u kamenu. (A pošto mi je bio na Božićnoj listi želja, moje najbolje drugarice su mi je kupile za rodjendan. <3)

Što se tiče knjiga, nisam imala baš mnogo slobodnog vremena ovog meseca za čitanje i mnogo mi je žao zbog toga... I bila sam mnogo nervozna i pod mnogo stresa, a moj dragi je to video pa mi je za rodjendan poklonio ovu knjigu. Verujem i da sam ga udavila svojim pričama koliko su bojanke za odrasle kul. Knjiga je napravljena kao bojanka sa ciljem da se i odrasli bar na par minuta dnevno isključe iz bučnog i stresnog života i odlutaju u maštu kao deca.

I guess I will have a favorite mug every month because I'm a mug collector. This time, it was my Better latte than never mug, I got it from asos and I looove it so much. Right now I'm drinking hot chocolate from it.

Verovatno ću imati omiljenu šolju svakog meseca zato što ih skupljam i obožavam. Ovog puta, omiljena mi je bila moja Better latte tan never šolja, kupila sam je na asos sajtu i obožavam je! Evo upravo pijem toplu čokoladu iz nje.

This bag I bought from asos in October but it arrived in the beginning of November and I have worn it almost everyday. The fluffy things I got from my grandma for my birthday also and I believe it was from h&m.

Ovu torbu sam kupila sa asosa u oktobru, ali mi je stigla početkom novembra i mislim da sam je od tad nosila svakog dana. Pufnu sam dobila od bake za rodjendan i mislim da je iz h&m-a.

On the day of my birthday I went to our local mall and of course I went in Zara. I've found this gorgeous and GREY and cosy and classy, I don't know what to call it, a jumper? Whatever it is it became my favorite thing from my closet. (I could found link for mine but this one is similar.)

Na dan svog rodjendana sam prošetala do Ušća i naravno da sam ušla u Zaru. I pronašla ovaj divan sivi, udoban i nekako otmen, ne znam šta je tačno ali zovimo ga džemper jer nije debeo kao kaput. Šta god daje, postao je moj omiljeni komad odeće. (Ne mogu da pronadjem moj na sajtu, ali ovaj je sličan.)

My favorite song of November was honestly Wings from Hurts, I just love it too much.
Omiljena pesma i spot novembra mi je očekivano bila Wings od Hurts, volim je i previše.

Favorite youtube channel, I guess you would expect it to be a beauty channel but this time it was Zvoganj. Anyone who doesn't speak Serbian won't get it, but it is just the funniest thing ever.
Omiljeni youtube kanal ovog meseca mi je bio, verovatno ste očekivali neki beauty ili fashion, Zvoganj. Ko ne zna srpski ne verujem da mu je smešno, ali meni je jedna od najsmešnijih stvari ikada.

Favorite blog, definitely my lovely Samantha Maria.
Omiljeni blog, definitivno moja draga Sammi Maria.

That was it for my November favorites, thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.

To bi bilo to za moje novembarske ljubavi, hvala vam i nadam se da vam se svidelo.

Love, D
