As 2015 is nearly over and as I already said it's time to sum up everything you can sum up, I decided to pick all the most memorable moments to me in one huge picture.
It's something that made this year very special to me and something that I want to remember.
I also said once that I feel so upset and sentimental in December, so it's a good idea to remind yourself why this year was good instead of remembering bad or sad things.

I would love to know what good memories or things 2015 has brought to you!

Hello there!
Today I have lovely Lottie as a guest on my blog! Lottie is a blogger and, as she lives in the UK and I live in Russia, we decided that it would be nice to talk about different traditions of different cultures.
I hope that you'll find it interesting and some of you, maybe, will know something new!

As you may know, I love photography. And as you're probably aware, Christmas is coming!
So today I decided to do a bit helpful post about gifts for people who love photography too. There are gifts for every photographer, whether they are pros or amateurs, males or females.
And if you know someone who loves photography and you have no idea what to present - this guide is for you.
This is just my suggestions from my point of view.
Phone / Tablet lenses

Nowadays mobile photography is a separate genre of photography, and I know a lot of Instagram photographers that use mostly their mobile devices.

Creative beautiful Photo albums

I bet we're all used to keep our photos on our computers, cards or some other digital ways. But I think it's so cool to keep some of your fave photographers in an actual album. When it comes to a photographer, it's also nice to have a few great photos to show your clients.
Lens cleaning set
For sure - it's something that every photographer needs and it doesn't matter if he already has a lens cleaning system, cause there's can't be too many of them.
Lens mug/cup

There's nothing better than drinking you favorite beverage from such a nice mug while editing last weeks photos :)
Photography books
Great way to give a ton of new information and inspiration.
Camera lens filters

It's a good gift, but firstly you should know the diameter of lens, cause there's no kind of "standard" one.
A tripod

There are seriously a lot of different tripods for phones, tablets and cameras, you just need to pick one you think your friend photographer will like :)
Photographer's backpack / Camera bag

Backpack or a bag is a nice tool for keeping and taking away camera, lenses and other photographer's tools.
Soft boxes / Reflectors

It's about something more pricey, but also more valuable. If you don't want to fail with a gift, I would suggest to buy a reflector, I can guarantee that any photographer would be pleased with that gift!
Software: Photoshop or Lightroom
There's a possibility that your friend photographer already has one of these software products. But if you're sure he doesn't - it's a great gift.
All pictures are from product sellers.

Hello there!
A couple of weeks ago I made a post about my travel scrapbook, where I showed how I keep it and decorate it with photos, tickets, stickers and other stuff. And so then I thought that, if I showed some photos from my trip to Prague, maybe I should also show other photos and [I hope] inspire other people to visit this wonderful city. Seriously, I fell in love with Prague since my first visit in last April.
In the seriously hard timing and schedules of our lives we don't always take time for ourselves as often as we should. We communicate with other people, deal with different study/job things, solve problems and it happens pretty much every day. It's stressful, tiring, annoying and we have to distance from all of it sometimes.
As I'm kinda in long-time relationships with camera and I really like photography, I decided to pick up some working tips and ways to improve your photography skills or even to get them if you're a newbie. I'm not pretending to be a super pro at it, these tips just worked for me at the time, so I just hope they might be helpful for other people too.
Hii there!
I love sharing everything I like or I've been into on my blog. And so I thought that it would be nice to share my make up products that I use every day and can recommend.
I have to say that I don't have a huge cosmetic collection and I'm definitely not a beauty guru. I prefer kinda "no make up" make up, cause it doesn't take much time and I don't need a lot of everything on my face, to me it feels really uncomfortable.
All products that you can see in this post are quite budget and cheap, except, maybe, mascara.
And here pay attention that my skin type is combination to oily (T-zone), with some problems and spots sometimes and I'm not allergic pretty much to anything. These products are good for my skin and it's only my personal opinion.
I guess I'm going to start with
FACE
Before applying the actual cosmetic products, I moisture my face with one of my favorite moisturizers from this blogpost (for now it's Lumene or Sephora's cream) and then use The Body Shop lotion for T-zone (my review is here)
As a foundation I use this LUMENE CC CREAM
that I've been loving for a quite long time and I can highly recommend it. Mine is in medium shade.
When I have especially dark circles under my eyes or redness around my nose I also use a concealer.
I don't use highlighters or conturing powders really often (do I have to say that I don't even have a bronzer?), but since the beginning of autumn I seriously have been into blushes. Now I'm using this ESSENCE SILKY TOUCH BLUSH in shade 40 Natural Beauty. I do like it, it looks really natural, but fades away in about 4 hours.
EYES
This CLINIQUE LASH POWER MASCARA
is just the best mascara that I've ever tried! I wanted a natural looking mascara and then I found this one. It does look natural, it's long-wearing and the main reason why I love it is that I can wash it off with only warm water! I have mine in 01 Black Onyx.
Also sometimes when I have enough time I use ESSENCE LONG-LASTING EYE PENCIL
for making my eyes look more expressive and a bit bigger.
BROWS
I've got pretty thick eye brows, but sometimes I use ESSENCE EYEBROW DESIGNER PENCIL
. Mine is in shade 04 Blonde, and though I have brown hair it suits really well.
For fixing my eye brows I've got ARTDECO CLEAR LASH & BROW GEL, which is quite good too.
LIPS
Before applying lipstick or lipliner I always use lip balm, especially when it's cold and windy outside. As my Carmex just ran out, recently I've been using EOS.
For this blogpost I chose these 3 lipsticks:
REVLON COLORBUST MATTE BALM in 205 Elusive Insaisissable
REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK
in 415 Pink In The Afternoon (you might've seen it in my What's in my bag post)
ESSENCE STAY MATT in 03 Soft Nude (which I don't think you can find cause they don't produce them anymore)
These lipsticks are kinda my more preferable now.
And here is it! My make up is done! :)
Have you tried any products from this post? What do you think of them?
What are your everyday make up necessities?

So one day I decided to keep a scrapbook, a small book where I can have all these things like in one place.
Love to autumn + love to nail polishes = oh combo haha
Today I want to share with you 4 nail colors and 1 top coat which I love especially for autumn :)
1 || SALLY HANSEN HARD AS NAILS XTREME WEAR (510 Brick Wall)
My all-time favorite! I just love this color and it's more than perfect for autumn. You can apply just one coat and it will look right as in the bottle. And it dries very quickly.
2 || ESSENCE COLOUR&GO (162 Dare To Nude)
This one is just so perfect! It's like autumn and Christmas in one bottle, especially if you'll mix it with the first one - Brick Wall. Oh, I guess I can smell Christmas
4 || MAYBELLINE COLORAMA (290)
Simple dark graphite grey (almost black) nail color with a bit of shimmer (which you can't see on your nails). I mean well, dark polish is always good, but oh, it's autumn! And it's also nice for mixing with other colors or even for gradient manicure.
It's not a nail color, but I love this top coat for just changing usual look of my varnishes. Looks really good with the nude ones.
Here is it!
