fashion and style

                                                                                       ph. Jelena Karakas And here I'm with my final thoughts. In case you missed something, let's recap a little bit! Last year I partnered up with Philips to test their latest product - Philips Lumea Prestige . I was more than satisfied with the results, but because of my laziness I stopped using it in September, and I made myself to follow the rules again this spring so I can prepare my body for summer . Philips Lumea is a home IPL system which can be used to help prevent hair reg...

Let the beauty countdown starts now! If you already purchased your favorite swimsuit, bunch of SPFs, your next logical thought is how to get rid off your unwanted hair, like forever. How is that even possible? Still not sure about this word but after using the Philips Lumea Prestige last summer and redoing it this spring, there is a chance to achieve a hair-free holiday body. No stress required. In my previous post I told you the mantra: "use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks, use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks, use the device every two weeks for six to eight weeks  and you will have a hair-free skin" 6 weeks are more than enough to see the first results cause Philips Lumea Prestige gives fast, effective results while being kind to skin. By delivering super-gentle pulses of light to the hair’s roots, re-growth is dramatically reduced with up to 92% hair reduction in just three treatments! Of course, the results may vary due to differen...

                                                                                              ph. Jelena K. When it comes to beauty treatments, I’m definitely in the DIY camp if we exclude facials. One coat of a black nail polish and that's it, 5 minutes with a curling iron and I'm good to go! Little bit of mascara, brow gel and foundation and I did my make up. You will ask me later if I put anything at all on my face, but that's my style. Natural. The key is in simplicity and obviously I know the best. You don't want me as your c...

                                                                                                  ph. me Not that I ever really need an excuse to add some sparkles but summer is a perfect season to get away with glitter every day! So if you been eyeing the latest Glam supreme collection by Llums now is the time to act and try it! You can lining your eyes with glitter pencils for a simple yet effective pop of sparkle or you can dramatize your smokey eye if you are that kind of a girl. Put a lip gloss or upgrade...

Hello July! The hot weather is already here and as much as I love feeling the warmth of the sun against my skin, there is always one question that hangs on my mind. When did I last wax my legs? When it comes to beauty treatments I'm definitely in a do it yourself team, so when Philips asked me would I try the latest Lumea device I instantly said yes cause I was more than curious to see the results. In case you're not familiar with it, Lumea Prestige is a long-lasting IPL hair removal solution offering up to 92% hair reduction in just 3 treatments. Easy to use, its attachments are uniquely designed for optimal results in each body area, including facial and bikini hair removal. It even advises the best setting for your skin tone. Not to be confused with laser, IPL is short for Intense Pulsed Light - a new technology that puts hair into resting phase in the comfort of your own home. The product works by applying gentle pulses of light to the hair and the hair root, just undern...

                                                                                             ph. me When it comes to my makeup routine, I’m pretty low maintenance and with that fact I still get lots of questions about makeup and what I use. So I thought I’d share the latest favorite product: my go to highlighter! This handy, chic LLUMS highlighter stick makes it easy for me to add a touch of light anywhere on my face, and the formula is creamy and sheer. Unlike with other highlighters, you don’t get any sort of glittery, shimmery fini...

                                                                                             ph.me When it comes to beauty trends, I'm probably the worst one to get the advice from. My make up routine hasn't changed for ages cause my mantra is that less is definitely more. I only wear two different types of beauty looks: - daily look: depending on the mood, it's with or without that perfect cat line (in my case the better word to describe it is - messy) - night look: smokey eye or total black eyes   depending on the mood again or...
