Make-up history

Hello my lovelies, Today I'm writing just a short post to you to share very interesting video. I think it might be interesting to everyone interested in make-up. The creator of video is amazing Lisa Elridge, make-up artist and creative director of Lancôme, she recently wrote book about make-up history Facepaint. Video is starring incredible Madeleine Marsh, artist, writer and broadcaster. As said on her website "Madeleine’s particular interests include vintage fashion and women’s history and she is also author of Miller’s Collecting Perfume Bottles and of Compacts and Cosmetics- Beauty from Victorian Times to the Present Day – Pen and Sword – a social history of make up and beauty practices." So here it is, videos starring my two greatest inspirations. Videos tell us short history of make-up from Victorian era till 1970s. It is very very intersting.

Guerlain météorites

Hello my lovelies,
Today I'm finally writing a review for last Guerlain météorites from Christmas collection.
First thing first is this collection has gorgeous packaging. Météorites look like this beautiful snow globe. And inside there are little star météorites. What a lovely touch for Christmas. Just from the look of them you get the idea of Christmas and snow and snowflakes, which I personally love.
And the product itself in my opinion is great, it really is. Their colour is perfect, though only for light skin, but if you are darker, you can use them as a hilighter. I use them as a powder for whole face. Météorites in general became softer, so you can use any soft brush with them. They apply easily, look amazing on skin. Have some shimmer, but applied properly, doesn't look too much, looks just perfect. If you wanted to try Météorites, then that's the time. Sadly, they are sold out pretty much everywhere. But if you can find them, definitely buy.
If you tried them, please share you opinion and thoughts. Here I include photo of my météorites and photo of Christmas Guerlain stand.

Xoxo,

Azerbaijan Fashion Week and fashion shows

Hello my lovelies, today I'm telling you about Azerbaijan Fashion Week and sharing some photos and videos from it.

Azerbaijan fashion week was from 30th of November till 3rd of December at Boulevard Hotel Baku. Obviously I couldn't miss that event. Let's start from the fact that there are two types of fashion week's here, but AFW is the best one.

Beside the shows there were also workshops, seminars, pop up shops and also movies shows about fashion industry. Speakers for seminars were: fashion buyer Georgy Rostovshikov, owner and producer of Aurora Fashion Week in Saints Petersburg, Russia, and Mr. Andreevs' public talk on upcoming trends.
I was really impressed by some designers, obviously Igor Chapurin, whose designs I've been loving for years now. Also Datuna, Georgian designer, with very simple, laconic yet chic and beautiful designs. I've literally fallen in love with his dress. Obviously Rosa Clara show was just amazing with their wedding dresses. Math, Russian brand of men's fashion, really impressive, I would advice girls to look to their collection if you're looking for present for you other half. And Salle de Mode, another Georgian brand with amazing accessories. Gorgeous bags and shoes.
If you are interested in Azerbaijan Fashion Week, then you should visit afw.az. And also if you are interested and understand Azerbaijani language, I took interview from Datuna, it will be up soon on Xanim.net. Later I will publish it here in Russian and English. With that being said, enjoy some photos and videos from Azerbaijan Fashion Week here.

Here are my photos with journalists, Georgian designer Irma Sharikadze, fashion buyer Georgy Rostovshikov, Georgian designer Datuna, Russian designer Igor Chapurin, and selfish with the founder and owner of Aurora Fashion Week in Russia.
