Painting with make up.... Slikanje sa šminkom....

What are the benefits of painting with make up?

First of all, it's something new and different. Secondly, it can be good for the environment. What do you mean? Well, using all make up for painting is just a brilliant way to recycle, isn't it? 

You can use old products, the ones that you don't use or need anymore. You can recycle them. Instead in the bin, let them end up on your desk. Put the make up in a nice glass, mug  or some container and give your desk might a lovely make over. Place a paper on your desk and you're ready to go. Spend these beauty products in a creative way, by creating something meaningful ( a painting, a remainder, a birthday card) on paper. Big plus: you don't ever need to worry about feeling guilty about not using up a certain make up product. It may not feel like much, but it can make you feel a bit better about yourself. Some women just can't make themselves get rid of a certain beauty product, even after it is past its expiration date. 


Is painting with make up even possible?

 Sure it is possible. You can paint with pretty much anything that leaves traces on paper. In fact, depending on the product you can both paint and draw with make up. It is something that can be done.  I've done it without ever googling it or reading about it, without seeing a tutorial or researching it.  I rememeber how natural it felt to make the first make up paintings and illustrations back in 2014 (here and here). To this day I haven't really researched this subject because it was so much fun figuring it out for myself. No need to follow my example, though. Internet is packed with ideas and tricks that can make our lives easier.

What does it feel like to use beauty products to create paintings?  

Well, it is fun but it is also a bit challenging. You take some make up product (mascara, lipstick, eyepencil or eyeshadow) and you play around with it. It can be very entertaing as long as you don't stress about it and learn to enjoy the process itself. It might take you some time to figure it out, but everything does. Whatever else it may feel like, you can be sure it will feel fresh. Something fresh, something you haven't tried before- isn't that a good thing? Painting with make up on paper is something most of us have never done. Your brain will respond to it. Doing new things is the best way to keep our brain active and supposedly that helps to fight off depression. So, even if you end up hating what you painted, it won't be  a waste of time. Have fun!

    So funny that you noticed....That actually was the reason of my infinity bracelet. And I was wearing a heart ring too (literally, infinity love), but I just remembered to put it after the pictures :( I was really sad.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUMMER TO AUTUMN TRANSITION 2024 (SPLIT CITY)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk about Summer to Autumn transition. It's actually one of my favourite seasonal transitions, because it allows us to easily play with layers and textures. Early Autumn is that magical time when you can wear a sweater or a light jacket over your summer dress and call it a day.  As the days get colder, we'll need more layering but we can still draw from that Summer inspiration.  How to keep Summer in our hearts even when the Autumn arrives? Well, think of all the positive things that you associate with Summer and then figure out how you can keep them in Autumn. That's what I'm trying to do for myself. Not to stress about the seasonal change, but rather to embrace it. For example, this particular post has been long in the making. I started it this Summer and planned to post about the summer outfits I wore while in Split city. However, as Summer turned to Autumn, I found myself with some new looks. So, I dec

THE WILD GIRLS, A STORY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello fellow bloggers and/or blog readers! In this post, I'll share my review for Ursula K. Le Guin short story The Wild Girls . Published in 2011, this powerful short story tells a touching tale of slavery , trauma , loss and survival. Sisterly love is at the core of this immensely sad, complex and profound story. If you want to read an intelligent and multifaceted story focused on female characters, and set in a dystopian society, look no further. Don't expect a happy ending, though! This is not that kind of story. I actually listened to this short story (that isn't so short, it sorts of feels like a novella). I planned to listen to it while I do Pilates, but I wasn't aware of how serious and tragic the story truly was. I've read an awful lot of Le Guin's writing, so I know her writing can be ambitious, complex and challenging. Still, I wasn't prepared for the complex sadness of this story.  Needless to say, I didn't finishing my Pilates routine that d

SHADOW AND BONE BY LEIGH BARDUGO (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ,  the first novel in the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Published in 2012, Shadow and Bone is a young adult fantasy novel featuring a young female protagonist Alina Starkov who tries to find her way in a world troubled by war and class divisions. The novel is set in Ravka, a fantasy world inspired by feudal Russia, but still unique in its own way. The world Alina Starkov inhabits has its own mythology and magic, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. For example, there are Grishas, people who have magical powers, that are partly based on study of science and partly on instinct. While the organization of power is feudal, with a corrupt monarch and nobility, there's mention of higher education and even science.  I actually got introduced to this series through listening to music on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I heard about this fantasy series (especially on  goodreads), but someho

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&
