Favorite videos of the day + (RO only!!!) giveaways

I sometimes feel a bit down and need some inspiration and advice, so I go through a couple of make-up tutorials...like this one:

You've probably found out by now how much fun you can have when using Sigma brushes! :D There are plenty of "make-up tutorials" on Youtube that shows 3,5,7-year old girls applying all sorts of beauty products on their face and most of them are so cute but I don't think they make a habit out of it, tho.

 

Couldn't help adding this video, too:

It may seem a bit ridiculous but I completely agree with one of the assertions, that goes something like this: you may think of yourself to be looking stunning, but others may perceive you like a clown, so be careful not to overdo it. Look twice in the mirror if you have any doubts or check a make-up tutorial. It's like a recipe: if it says you should add only 2 tbs. of sugar, it might not be ok to add some extra sugar thinking it won't hurt anyone. The same with your make-up. Don't think that if you add extra lipgloss it will persist more. You'd rather take it in your bag/purse/whatever and apply some later if needed.

Now I do have to announce some giveaways that are going on at the moment on Romanian(language)-based blogs.

Fave Etsy shop of the day + Let me dress myself giveaway (open WW)

Hey, girls! Way back in time, I used to want so much a wooden hairbrush that I've seen in some hypermarket. Lucky me, my boyfriend surprised me one day and bought it for me (yeah, he's something, isn't he?). But now I figure it out: do you happen to know what's best than a wooden hairbrush? A wooden hair comb! Too bad I can't find a decent one in my local stores, but it's great enough that there's this Etsy shop called Ferrochie with original creations for every taste! All the combs are unique and intented for daily use. Take a look:

Modern Wooden Hair Comb

Classic Wooden Hair Comb

Victorian Wooden Hair Comb

Geisha Wooden Hair Comb

They are awesome, dare not contradict me! :)

Mega fave shop of the day + mega giveaway (open WW)

Last year I got this idea of starting a minor business, namely handmade jewelry. Ordered in some material from allex.ro and got to work, creating only earrings. They were cute, the girls loved them and I still kept 2-3 pairs for myself. Now's more than a year passed and this virus seems to be penetrating my mind again. On top of that, I also found this awesome Etsy shop that's called PleaseComeIn, based in Malaysia, that's got everything from rhinestones (1,2,3), pearlized embelishment (4,5,6), wedding supplies (7,8,9), scrapbooking stuff (10,11,12), 122 types of jewelry making accessories (13,14,15), mini teddy bears, yards of ribbons, polimer clay nail art, foam flowers...a crafting paradise.
