Hello ladies, When I sat down today to do my makeup, I had a completely different look in mind, a super light luminous eye look, winged eyeliner with a red lip. But somehow, the upcoming fall, influenced me to reach for much darker colours. 🍂🍁🌰☕       Products used: EYES : Radiant Professional Makeup Eye Shadow Base Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette in Georgia and Charmed, I'm Sure Melkior Eyeshadow in Old Brick Pupa Milano Vamp!

Reverse Smokey eye

Hello ladies, Today's look is an up side down green smokey eye. All the focus and the color is concentrated on the bottom lash line, while on the top lash line and eyelid the makeup is minimal. I added a pair of false lashes to make the whole look pop. And of course, you can pair it with a nude lip or a bold color one, the choice is yours. 😘     Products used: EYES : Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer NYX Ultimate Brights Shadow Palette Melkior Eyeshadow in Sweet Nectar Melkior Eyeshadow in Chocolate Melkior Eyeshadow in Spring Green Melkior Eyeshadow in Alien NYX Lingerie Eye Tint in Morning Sky Urban Decay Distortion Palette in Hot Box and Shifty NYX Slide On, Glide on, Stay on Eyeliner in Jet Black Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Black Yves Rocher Crazy Sexy Pulp Mascara in 01 Black False Eyelashes W7 Get Real Lashes in HL04 – NYX Eyebrow Gel in Bunette Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel in 004 Clear FACE: Y

Unboxing - August Goodie Box

Hello ladies, It is #unboxing time. This months theme is the the classical four elements: earth, water, fire and air. The four elements derive from western astrology and have been known since ancient Greece and are said to form the foundations of our personality. All four elements live in us all but with different intensities.  We all have a little self-esteem from the fire element, balance from earth element, sensitivity from the water element and the initiative of the air element. My box is based on the water element - mysterious, sensitive and the intense, which was translated into these refreshing beauty products. Naobay Orange Juice Foot Cream - this is the second product I am trying out from Naobay after Equilibria Face Mist Toner I got in april's Goodie Box (article here ). A  regenerative foot cream, made  with natural ingredients and enriched with Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and Orange extracts.  Also contains essential Tea Tree oil for the treatment of even

Yves Rocher Elixir Jeunesse - First Impression

Image
Hello ladies, For about a year now, I have been hearing a lot of good stuff about these Yves Rocher products, from their Elixir Jeunesse line, and finally I gave in to the hype and purchase them. I am still testing them out, but as a first impression I have to say, I am really loving them. Elixir Jeunesse Double Action Repair + Anti - Pollution Serum On a daily basis we expose our self to pollution, UV rays, fatigue, stress that accelerate skin aging. This serum contains more than 94% of ingredients of natural origin, without mineral oils, silicones, dyes and parabens. This ultra-concentrated extract of aphloia is naturally assimilated by the skin and acts against the adverse effects that accelerate aging. It has a sticky consistancy, applies smoothly and uniformly, easely absorbed and leaves a hydrating feeling. It clames that after a month wrinkles are reduced and skin is detoxified.  I will come back with a later edit on this claim. 😊 Elixir Jeunesse Repair + Anti -P

Velvet Chocolate Brown

Hello ladies, I like when i go home to stock up on makeup and skin care products, that I do not find here in Denmark. One of these products is from PUPA Milano (an Italian company that produces affordable yet very good quality products), a beautiful chocolate brown eyeshadow with a satin finish from their Vamp! collection.  And it is the "star" of this look. 🍫 Hope you like it. 😘💗   Products used: EYES : Radiant Eye Shadow Primer Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette in Georgia and Puree PUPA Vamp!

Zoeva Rose Gold Luxury Set Vol 2. - Review

Image
Hello ladies, If you are just a bit passionate about makeup, and you don't apply it just because, then you know, that the brushes you use, are one of the most important element, in achieving a good and lasting makeup. I have been wanting to try out some Zoeva brushes for some time now, but for some reason I did not purchase them until now. Big mistake! They are the most soft and precise brushes I tried up to now. Let me present you, the babies: A gorgeous set of 8 brushes, synthetic and natural hair, soft pink-nude handles and rose golden ferrules, gathered in a beautiful rose golden metallic brush clutch. You get three brushes for the face and five for the eye makeup. Lets meet them one by one. 104 Buffer Brush  - synthetic hair, for application and blending of foundation, powder or mineral.  It does the extract thing that it was designed to do, it applies and blends at the same time, the foundation goes on so smoothly, only one pump of foundation is mor

Hello ladies,  Pink is really not my color. I said this before, like a million times, I love black and dark colors. But I am trying to get out of my comfort zone and do more colorful look.  First attempt for this look didn't  go so well, I felt like a clown wearing it, but I thought about it and decided to give it another go.  This is the second look I did and I am quite happy with it.  Products used: EYES : Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer Laritzy Cosmetics NUE Palette NYX Ultimate Brights Shadow Palette Melkior Eyeshadow in Fuchsia Melkior Eyeshadow in Wild Cherry Melkior Eyeshadow in Lilith NYX Lingerie Eye Tint in Whimsy Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Black Yves Rocher Crazy Sexy Pulp Mascara in 01 Black False Eyelashes W7 Get Real Lashes in HL02 – NYX Eyebrow Gel in Bunette Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel in 004 Clear FACE: Origins Ginzing Energy Boosting Gel Moisturizer Elizabeth Arden Good Morning
