Review Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector in Invisible Light | GUILT/LUST

I am dreaming wedding (details here) while you read Kamilla's insightful review about the Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector...
________________________________________________

Clinique Pore Refining Instant Perfector minimizes the appearance of pores for a smooth and virtually flawless look. It is best used with finger-dotting technique and blended over pores alone, over or under makeup for touch-ups. In my experience, this perfector works best over liquid makeup, bb cream, or concealer. The mattifying effect is great for shiny t-zones, and gives my skin a smooth, even look. Overall, it lasts for many hours, and I don’t have to worry about blotting my t-zone. The pores disappear immediately. The result will be a matte, evened out skin tone with an airbrushed effect. However, this effect is only temporary, and the formulation is not an actual serum or a treatment. The key is to use a small amount, and not to overdo it, as the build-up could cause flakiness and easily rub off.

Top 10 Favorite Nail Polishes for Fall/Winter | The Puzzle of Sandra's Life

Salon appointments, dresses' trials, decor, packing, there's a lot to do on my wedding break; while I handle my end our first guest blogger, the lovely Sandra has some mouth-watering favourites to share...
_______________________________________________

Hey everyone! I'm Sandra from The Puzzle of Sandra's Life and today I'm going to show you my top 10 favorite nail polishes for fall/winter. I hope you'll like the post!

 
(L-R)
1) OPI's My Private Jet: This nail polish is apparently Kim Kardashian's favorite, and I can totally see why. It looks like a night sky full of stars when you put in on your nails!

2) China Glaze's Tinsel Town: This is such a perfect Christmas shade. Even the name suggests it! But I have to admit, I'm wearing it all year long - as an accent nail on my ring fingers.

3) China Glaze's Skyscraper: Another amazing glittery nail polish. It has a blue base with tiny silver glitters and is therefore very wearable. It also doesn't hurt that it's named after one of my favorite sings... 

4) China Glaze's Wagon Trail: This is not a nail polish I would usually go for if I saw it at a store, but it looks very pretty on the nails. It's very dark with a ''parka green'' undertone, which is very in this season.

5) Butter London's Thames: I got this nail polish from my sister for Christmas, which was a very pleasant surprise. I'm in love with Butter London shades, but they're not avaliable in my country, so this the only one I have. She did a really good job picking up this color because I love it!

Off On Wedding Break

This picture is a shot from my Bridal Shower, which my colleagues gave me before I left that place. Thanks to them I have such beautiful memories with me.
That time is finally here, it so hard to manage wedding preps and blog together and I feel so bad for not giving my proper time to you guys. So yeah I am going on about a three-week break from my blog and would be back with lots of fun wedding details. All those who commented on my last wedding related news post wanted to know about all the bits and pieces of my wedding, and I do have a thought in mind to get some exciting pictures and ideas together and do a whole post when I am back.
While I am gone, I have got some fabulous bloggers who were so kind to do guest posts here and I can guarantee you’d love reading them. I want to thank each and every one of the guest blogger, who is going to appear in this period, from the bottom of my heart. Seriously it means a lot knowing my blog is in good hands.
I have scheduled everything and the first guest post will be published tomorrow. Don’t forget to read these amazing people’s beauty passions.
Gonna miss you all and see you soon!  ♥

Getting Married, Moving Away & Guest Blogging


Yess I AM getting married next month and moving all the way to Germany. Aah it’s such a beautiful place. I have been waiting so long (it wasn’t that long, but it seemed forever) for my visa and now I can’t stop myself from leaping with joy. German visa is one hard nut to crack especially with learning German.
I won't be able to post regularly when I go off and take a break. But I will back with exciting changes to my life and more amazing makeup products that would be within my reach. I have scheduled some posts plus I am giving everyone a fair chance to come and blog on The Feminine Crusade.


If you are interested in doing a guest post make sure you follow these guidelines. 
·  The post should be related to beauty or fashion, preference would be for beauty/makeup posts though. Here are some post ideas and types of posts, you are welcome to suggest your own:
NOTD/EOTD/FOTD
Makeup/Hair Tutorial/ DIY/ Beauty Tips
Product Review
Top 10/Favourite Products
Fashion trends/styling
·  Owning a blog is not important. You can also be a reader who wants to have their post showcased.
·  Please make sure your English is readable and the post is grammatically correct and well punctuated.
·  The post should contain at least ONE photograph. I would prefer personally taken photographs instead of stock images which should be clear and minimum 700 pixels wide.

I will be accepting guest posts only till September 20th 2012.

I am not going anywhere RIGHT NOW. I will still be blogging. The guest posts and scheduled posts will probably start near the end of this month when I go off on a wedding break.
