I've fallen in love with the 1930's. My favorite thing about the 1930's is definitely the fashion. Those were the days when every women took good care of their appearance, made an effort to be as well-dressed and presentable as they possibly can, regardless of their wealth or social positions. We always see Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers etc. on the big silver screen, but what about the everyday women? The women that went to the market, not the movie set?
I love those scarfs, hats but especially the sunglasses...
It was definitely shocked when I checked my email almost two
months ago and hello there, an email from Sigma Beauty was waiting to
be opened! I have been wanting to get my very own Sigma products. It has been
my dream since the time I got into makeups - and yes, DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
I finally have my own Sigma brushes.
I was contacted by the lovely Vincy at Sigma to see if I was
interested in joining the Sigma Affiliate program, and of course I said yes!
I'm in a partnership with Sigma Beauty (also known as Sigma) an
international cosmetics company, selling brushes, makeup, skin care
and accessories. Big thanks to Vincy and Jennifer from the Sigma Team! As a welcome gift, they sent me a lovely gift - if you'd like
to read about my thoughts on it then please do continue reading.
I have recently
joined the Sigma affiliates and would really appreciate you all going to their pageand checking out all of their fabulous stuff.
The Make Me Classy Travel Kit was specially designed for a
fun yet functional makeup application. This kit contains seven travel-size
brushes from our best-selling Essential Kit. The brushes come in an innovative
and functional container that turns into two brush holders to keep you stylish
and organized on the go.
Brushes Included:
E30 - Pencil: Soften and smoke out lines. Soften pencil
liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes or use
to highlight inner corner of eyes.
E40 - Tapered Blending: Soft blended crease. Using just
the tips to apply color, sweep back and forth through the crease for a diffused
and blended finish.
E55 - Eye Shading: Even application of color. Place
color across the whole lid for an even and strong application of product.
E65 - Small Angle: Create precise lining. Moves fluidly
and easily across the upper and lower lash lines. Use with gel, cream or powder
liners.
F30 - Large Powder: Even powder application. Uniform
blending of powder products onto the face and body.
F40 - Large Angled Contour: Subtle cheek application.
Use the angle to softly contour the cheekbone. Can also be used to apply blush.
F60 - Foundation: Smooth foundation application. Apply
liquid or cream products such as foundation and primer.
The Sigma Beauty
Eye Shadow Bases are made with a blendable, smooth formula to achieve a
long-wearing and pigmented effect. Each base is designed to reduce surface
oil with its water-resistant, silky-smooth and light-weight formula. Each
eye shadow base features an exclusive anti- drying protectant lid.
This is the only
eyeshadow base that keeps my eyelids from getting oily during the day. I have
tried Mac paint pot and it doesn't work on me at
all. My eyeshadows would crease before noon! This actually kept my eyelids matt
for most part of the day. The texture is very lightweight
and upon application, my lids feels dry and matt and does not feel
silky/silicony. It gives my eyeshadow a just applied look all day.
I would repurchase this forever, its really hard for me to find something that
works.
It looks perfect for a natural eye look. One the photo nr. 1 I have no make-up on - you can see the difference after putting Sigma eyeshadow base on the photo nr. 2 and nr. 3.
Have you tried the Sigma products? Let me know what do you think about them.

What a find! I
stumbled upon her work a few weeks back and it was a pleasant surprise, really
talented and gorgeous painter who’s got an amazing future ahead of her. It's Therése Rosier Art.
I emailed Tereza
asking her if she would allow me to introduce her and work to the readers of my
blog. I was so pleased with her prompt and kind reply giving me her approval!
Thank you so much Tereza,
I really appreciate this!
Today I'd like to introduce you to a talented
artistnamed Therése Rosier. She is a young artist who
has an artistic mind, who is passionate about her work...
Her name is Tereza Ester Vacková (23 years old) and her art
name is Therése Rosier – because she loves everything about France, French
elegance and roses.
Tereza is born in Prague / Czech Republic. From an early age her
talents were recognized - graduated on Art School SSUSD in Prague. She lived
in Prague till she was 21 years old, then moved to Teplice. Art is her full
work. Retro/vintage/pin-up/burlesque lover. Sometimes poses as a
photomodel and when she was younger she was performing with Prague Burlesque
for a while.
You can decorate your
home, office, in a hall, and do so much with her beautiful paintings and arts.
For more information, click on the above links, contact her on her email if you
are interested to buy her paintings.
And here a part of our talk at tea time yesterday...
Idda: Why do you draw and why is it important to you?
Tereza: I love to draw since my childhood and love
everything about art. I found my nature and spirit in drawing and painting .
Sometimes I can not paint, but when I start with it I always lose my mind, it´s
a heartwarming moment for me without thoughts. Relaxing time for my mind and
soul... And this moments are important for everyone, but everyone needs to find
it in an own way.
Idda: What inspires you the most?
Tereza: I find inspiration in many beautiful things like old vintage
photos, 1930´s Czech movies and elegance of womans of these era – this fancy
stuff inspires me for my look and my passion for retro – vintage style is
reflected in my artwork . So I´m able to browse for hours and hours all kinds
of blogs and websites with this theme before I start to paint.
Idda: Your paintings are extraordinary and appear so realistic.
What tools do you use to create them? Would you like to describe your creative
work process?
Tereza: I use normal round brushes from smaller to bigger size and
classic ink pen for details. Practicaly everything I do with watercolors,
aniline colors and common ink. Sometimes I used acrylic. At first I draw a
sketch, then apply watercolors at wet surface and when it is dry, I use little
by little several layers of watercolors with ink and acrylic colors for details
. In the end I was completing paintings with abstract splashes and flowing
colors. This is the most widely technique that I use.
Idda: Music you listen to while painting?
Tereza: I´m actually addicted in listening to music while painting !
It depends of my actual mood. Sometimes oldschool music like Fred Astaire,
Benny Goodman, Elvis Presley, Andrew Sisters, Edith Piaf ( really love Piaf
!!!!) sometimes Cocorosie, Dresden Dolls, Parov Stelar, Adele, Ronnie
Magri....sometimes Nirvana, old stuff of Marilyn Manson, Korn etc. ....... It´s
allways something else...
Idda: You are selling your paintings - tell my readers
more about?
Tereza: Art is my employer and painting feed me. So I would love to
sell painting in official online shop, but it´s feature - hope not to far. My
official website is in progress - there you can find contact to me - but
simplest are facebook page for now. There you can find my personal profile and
my fan page ThereseRosierArt - there you can write me a message (or write me an email) and we
can deal about painting to order according your special wishes or you can
choose your favorite painting from my gallery. When I sum it up - find and add me on facebook and write me a message. You can find information about upcoming website on my FB page too...
Idda: I know it's difficult to pick but which
painting by you is closest to your heart?
Tereza: I'm really in love with one of my school pieces - it´s
abstract canvas....that my boyfriend fell in love with this piece when we
didn´t know each other. This piece in really close to my heart. And otherwise I
really like one of my newest piece and it is quick ink drawing od Salvador
Dali.
Idda: What would be your ultimate dream as an artist?
Tereza: Positively be very famous of course ;D
I would like to be able to afford luxury and comfort for me
and my future husband maybe also our child – all from the money I make with my
art. Honestly, that's my main goal.I would like to travel (and exhibit) all
over the world. When this wishes come true, then I will be able to say my dream
is filled.
Are you as much impressed
as I am by these gorgeous paintings?
I would be very
pleased to know your thoughts!
To Tereza : ‘Thank
you again Tereza, for your approval to use the images of your page! And I do
hope that my Bosnian as well as my international readers will appreciate your
work as much is I do!’
