GET THE 2016 GOLDEN GLOBES MAKEUP LOOKS WITH NARS!!!





 Golden Globes are one of the most watched stars red carpet appearances for sure so I couldn't miss posting few makeup looks from the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards.
I was very impressed with most of the celebrities' looks however few of them caught my attention the most - and of course created using one of my favourite makeup brand - NARS:-)

This year,  NARS partnered with celebrity makeup artists to create the looks for : Maggie Gyllenhaal, Malin Akerman, Amy Adams, and Sophia Bush. 

All makeup looks incorporate NARS’ newest launch – 
Velvet Matte Skin Tint - (available Feb 1, 2016) -that I can't wait to test&review!!



Maggie Gyllenhaal


Maggie Gyllenhaal’s look was created by celebrity makeup artist Romy Soleimani using  Velvet Matte Skin Tint (New for Spring 2016) | Panic Dual-Intensity Blush | Michiyo Audacious Lipstick.


Amy Adams



Amy Adams' look was created by celebrity makeup artist Stephen Sollitto. 
“My inspiration is always a combination of the woman I am working with, her dress and the event. Amy Adams wore a breathtaking Versace dress in geranium. Because today's gown was such a beautiful hue, I decided not to compete with it, keeping the palette fresh with tans and bronze.” said Stephen.

Key NARS products used to create Amy's look were   Velvet Matte Skin Tint (New for Spring 2016) | Raquel Audacious Lipstick


Sophia Bush



Sophia Bush' look was created by celebrity makeup artist Fabiola, who said: “The look was effortless chic in the manner of Grace Kelly. We wanted everything super minimal and fresh. We wanted to emphasize her eyebrows and give her a pop of color on the lips.”


Key NARS products used to create Sophia's look were  Velvet Matte Skin Tint (New for Spring 2016) | Audacious Mascara | Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Malin Akerman

NARS worked with celebrity makeup artist Kathy Jeung to create the makeup look for Malin Akerman at the 2016 Golden Globes.
“The lavender tinted silver color of Malin's gorgeous, off-the-shoulder metallic beaded Reem Acra gown inspired me to pick up on that color for her eyes with a dewy, but refined look for the skin and soft peachy-pink lips and cheeks.” said Kathy.

Key NARS products used to create Malin's look were Velvet Matte Skin Tint (New for Spring 2016) | Audacious Mascara | Rosecliff Lipstick (New for Spring 2016).

All products, except where noted, are available at narscosmetics.com.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!

GIVE YOUR SKIN A GIFT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON - FEATURING MY BEAUTY EXPERIENCE AT INSTYTUT ZDROWIA I URODY KLEOPATRA IN POLAND



Christmas is one of my favourite season of the year. Especially - when I can celebrate it back home - in Poland with my family. This year - is very special for me, us - as you know I've had baby in January so its going to be Olivier's first Christmas - with his grandparents and great grandparents as well as rest of our families who are still in Poland.
Because I have lots of readers and followers in Poland too - I will be writing my post partially in Polish and English (hope you don't mind:-)
Although its a busy season when it comes to getting everything organized at home,including cleaning, cooking and baking - I alway try to find time for "me" - and there is no better place than Instytut Zdrowia i Urody Kleopatra w Koscianie owned and managed by my dear friend - Beata Suszka who is an expert when it comes to skincare.
Wlasnie dzis zostalam umowilam sie do Instytutu na zabieg pielegnujacy i przygotowujacy moja skore na swieta i Nowy Rok - a Beatka zawsze wie co i jak "bedziemy robily"...
As always-as soon as I've entered the spa - I felt the holiday spirit (love beautiful candles she has on display by Kringle - sprawdzcie koniecznie te marke - piekne zapachy!!!)


Tym razem rozpoczelysmy pielegnacje mojej skory od chlodzacego peelingu (zastosowanie kwasu mlekowego) firmy Environ(jedna z moich ulubionych firm kosmetycznych) - jest to rewelacyjny peeling oparty na wspieraniu fizjologicznych i naturalnych procesow zachodzacych w zdrowej skorze ( a nie-jak niektore peelingi, ktore "zdzieraja naskorek"). 
Dlugotrwale stosowanie peelingu Environ poteguje wzmozona produkcje czynnikow wzrostu, uwalnianych przez komorki do skory. Dzieki temu bezinwazyjnemu zabiegowi skora stake sie grubsza, zdrowsza i wygladzona.
Love this "cool peel" - by Environ - as its fast and great way to achieve beautiful skin because it works deeper in the skin rather than "damaging" the first layer of your skin.


W celu uzyskania dlugotrwalego i maksymalnego efektu - zalecane jest stosowanie produktu z serii "Cool Peel" by Environ  w domu. Jest to unikatowy peeling w kremie ktory pozwala na delikatne i wielokrotne zluszczanie warstwy rogowej naskorka bez powodowania zniszczen na skorze. Dzieki temu skora staje sie gladsza, przebarwienia ulegaja zmniejszeniu a ponadto produkt jest bardzo wydajny wiec starczy nam na dlugi czas.



In the meantime - Monika(who works at the Institute ) did my nails - the place offer wide range of nails services (make sure to check their website) and although I really like seeing gel nails - I've decided to go "natural way" and only painted my nails in beautiful holiday red colour (love Essie nail polishes!!)



The cool peel was the first stage of our skincare journey while I am visiting Poland - stay tuned as we are going to try revolutionary MesoTherm treatment on my face along with CoaXMED - specializing in body treatments using Krio Lipo Ice technology.

Kochani-juz po swietach rozpoczniemy kolejna serie zabiegow na twarz i cialo-testujac rewolucyjny zabieg MesoTherm oraz nowosc firmy CoaXMED specjalizujacy sie w pielegnacji ciala i likwidacji "niechcialnego tluszczyku" :-) (w sam raz na po swietach:-)

THE FINALE OF MY POSTNATAL JOURNEY WITH PREVENTOUS COSMETIC MEDICINE - CALGARY!!



Those of you, who have been following my post-baby journey- you know how "hard" I've worked  to get my body&health back on track after having my baby!!

Thanks to Preventous Cosmetic Medicine team - I was able to get professional guidance when it comes to beauty, nutrition and fitness as we've created 6-month plan to meet my goals!!
After first consult with the team - I've been presented with the plan - starting with skincare (once every 2-3 weeks I had a laser treatment session), body care ( every week I've been scheduled for a  Venus Legacy treatment - focusing on the abdominal part of my body ), followed by fitness regime as well as nutrition plan.
The hardest part was sticking to the meal plan and fitness routine when you are first-time mom and working full time (just from 1 month after giving birth)..
But thanks to the support from Preventous team as well as my lovely hubby - I did it:-)

For more information about the clinic or the treatments - please feel free to message me directly or visit Preventous website!!

With my baby boy Olivier before final tests:-) 

My fitness&strength assessment with Katrina
 (thank you Girl for keeping up with me!)

My final skin assessment with Preventous team:-) 
(don't look too bad without makeup :-)

MY ROLE AS MRS CLAUS WITH OXFORD PROPERTIES CANADA



For those of you who didn't have a chance to hear about Oxford Properties - it's a name that has played an active role in Canada’s major cities since
completing their first development in Edmonton in 1960. 
Today, Oxford Properties has over $20 billion in assets under management across the country compromising 50 million square feet of Canada’s very best office, retail, multi-residential, industrial and hotel real estate. And although I am not involved in real estate industry at all - I absolutely LOVE their holiday campaign!!!


On November 12th, 2015 - Oxford Properties launched the
#MyMrsClaus campaign across 10 of their retail properties in Canada including
Yorkdale, Square One, Upper Canada Mall, Edmonton City Centre, Les Promenades
Gatineau and Galeries de la Capitale.
In this campaign, the company  is asking every unsung hero of the
season (aka Mrs. Claus) who is busy making sure everything is perfect for
everyone else, to treat themselves. So including myself - I was asked to become Mrs Claus as well as spoil myself this holiday season with my own #MyMrsClaus gift :-)

Moreover - from November 12th through December 24th, Oxford Properties will continue to
spread the holiday cheer by surprising random shoppers with Oxford Gift Cards to
help them cross an item off their personal wish list.
 Additionally, when shared via Twitter or Instagram with the #MyMrsClaus, customers will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $500 Oxford Gift Card.





And....Here is what I got - instead of spoiling myself I've decided to get Samsung Tablet for my parents as we are travelling to Poland for Christmas and because they want to see my baby boy Olivier every day via Facebook - I thought it would be a great tool for them to communicate with my family in Canada...

THANK YOU @oxford_plus and @brillcomm for thoughtful gift:-)
