Graphic Eyliner

Hello ladies, Although the winter holidays are one of my favorite holidays because of all of the sparkling lights and cozy warm feeling, I feel is a bit too soon to start posting Christmas looks in November. So, before all of the glittery and shimmery Christmas madness begins I thought I will post a neutral look. I had a bit of fun with the eyeliner and I really love the outcome, but of course you can keep it simple. 😼      EYES : MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre NYX Sugar Trip Squad Shadow Palette in 2 and 4 Urban Decay Distortion Palette in Shag, Old Smoke, Blackout and 5.0 NYX Slide On, Glide On, Stay On Eye Liner in Jet Black MAC Pro Longwear Fluideline in Blacktrack L'Oreal Superstar False Lash Mascara in Black W7 Get Real Lashes False Lashes in HL02 – NYX Eyebrow Gel in Brunette Maybelline Brow Drama 12 H Sculpting Brow Mascara in 01 Transparent FACE: Dr. Botanicals Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil Evolve Organic Beaut...

Dusk til down

Image
Hello ladies, This look was on my mind ever since I received the Juvia's Place Mini Masquerade and Mini Magic Palettes, but I didn't get around to do it. Last week on a day, I was running late for some meetings, my brain decided that it was time to do the "rainbow" look with Juvia's Place Palettes. Palettes which btw, I am loving more and more, and am surprised at the smooth application and the crazy amount of pigmentation. Any ways, this is the finished look, hope you like it. Lots of love. 💗 EYES : MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre NYX Sugar Trip Squad Shadow Palette in 4, and 12 Juvia's Place Magic Mini Palette in Nana and Nubia Juvia's Place Masquerade Mini Palette in Makeda, Bori, Casablanca, Calabar, Dalia and Zola Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 H Wear in Eccentric Diva Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Black Yves Rocher Crazy Sexy Pulp Mascara in 01 Black Melkior False Eye Lashes in Romantic E...

Empties #4

Image
Hello ladies, The last Empties article I did was back in September, and I am shocked at how many products piled up in just two months 😲, so I will keep the intro short and just dive in to the products I've gone through. L'Oreal Glam Beige Healthy Glow Foundation - liked it, didn't love it. Wore it mostly in the summer as a sheer foundation BB cream kind of a thing, but after a few hours it would just disappear. I will not buy it again. Rimmel Wake Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation - really like it for days/nights when I wanted some coverage but also a bit of a glow, it has a nice glow-y dewy finish and last a few hours without touch-ups. I will buy it again after I finish some of the foundations that I currently have. Pupa Like a Doll Perfecting Makeup Fluid - had a bit of trouble figuring this product out, is it a primer? is it a BB cream? is it a real sheer foundation? What ever it is, it didn't work for me. It did absolutely nothing on it's own or layer...

NYX Sugar Trip Squad Fall Look

Image
Hello ladies, First look with Sugar Trip Squad Shadow Palette. I tried to incorporate as many of the shadows I could in this look, just so I can see how they apply, blend and wear off. So far, I am really impressed by how soft they are, blend easy, very pigmented. Only wore the makeup for a few hours but the shadows stayer put, no fading or movement. Will definitely reach for this palette again.   EYES : MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre NYX Sugar Trip Squad Shadow Palette in 3,4,5,8,9,10 and 11 NYX Slide on, Glide on, Stay on in Brown Perfection Yves Rocher Crazy Sexy Pulp Mascara in 01 Black Melkior False Eye Lashes in Romantic Eyes – Maybelline  Tattoo Brow, Brow Pomade in 05 Dark Brown Maybelline Brow Drama 12 H Sculpting Brow Mascara in 01 Transparent FACE: You&Oil Face Serum with Carrot, Broccoli and Chia Ilse Jacobsen Eye Cream with Sea Buckthorn Elizabet Arden Good Morning Retexturizing Primer Pupa Made to Last Foundatio...

Glitter Bomb

Image
Hello ladies, Ever since I was a little girl I loved shiny glittery things, they just spoke to me. ✨🌟✨ This summer, while I was at home, I bought a stunning glitter bomb eye shadow from Pupa, that of course I forgot about until a few days ago. At first I wanted to do a glamorous going out look, but the more I used the glitter eye shadow the more I felt it needed more than a classical going-out look. Short of bathing in it, I decided to apply it everywhere and the apply some more glitter. 🎇✨🌟 EYES : Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer NYX Sugar Trip Squad Shadow Palette in 2,4 and 8 Pupa Vamp!

NYX Sugar Trip Squad - First Impression

Image
Hello ladies, Being a makeup junkie that I am, I sign up for the NYX Professional Makeup Newsletter. And at the end of October I get a newsletter that said : " Wanna act out and get rewarded for it? Show us how Halloween looks to you! Make it marvellous. Make it horrifying. And make it better than the others' - to win a surprise holiday must-have set and eternal glory on our Instagram! Just hashtag your result on Instagram with #nyxcosmeticshalloween and #skilled. We pick the winner on October 31st. Don't miss it! " So I did, with no hope of actually winning, because I saw my competition and it was fierce. But surprise, surprise, on 1st of November I got the message that I was one of the winners, and that I will receive a surprise holiday must-have set.  You can imagine my excitement, right? This is what came in the mail two days ago, the Sugar Trip Squad Highlighting and Shadow Palettes. This is a first impression article and I will publish a more informed opi...

You&Oil Superfood Face Serum Review

Image
Hello ladies, The product I want to show you today I received in the September GoodieBox and peaked my interest immediately, although I am not a big fan of face oils. " You and Oil Super Food for Skin Face Serum  - contains a high level of nutrients, made from refined carrot, broccoli and Chia seed oil, vitamins A, C, E and fatty acids." With such a description, how can I not be intrigued? So as soon as the weather here changed, and became dry and windy, I found myself reaching more and more for this oil, rather than my normal moisturizer cream.  It gives my skin that extra kick of hydration it needs now. All I need are 2-3 drops of face oil in the morning, to cover the whole face and neck (never forget to show your neck some TLC). After about two weeks of almost constant use, I saw an improvement in the over-all aspect of the skin, it became a bit more firm and radiant, and dare I say it, some of the very fine lines seemed to vanish. It is suitable for all ...

Frosted Purple

Image
Hello ladies, As promised, I did play around with Maybelline Lemonade Craze Palette a bit more. I do stand by my first impression, the shades are a tad to dusty and not as pigmented as a lot of other eye shadows out there, but it can be used as a transition shade palette, exactly how I used it for this look. So if you are looking for some nice transition shades, then you can give this palette a try. The look today was inspired by a mono eye shadow I was having in my collection for a while now, but is a perfect autumn shade. Hope you like it, and I await your comments in the section below. Lots of love. 💗      Products used: EYES : Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer Maybelline Lemonade Craze Palette in Sherbet, Sweet Tea, Old Fashioned and Ice Pop Melkior Eyeshadow in Frosted Purple NYX Slide on, Glide on, Stay on in Esmeralda Wet'nWild Comfort Zone Palette in Green Definer Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Black Løwén C...

Goodbye Halloween 2018

Image
Hello ladies, We had a lot of fun this October, but sadly it is time to say "goodbye" to the fun month of fall and say "hello" to the warm sweaters, cozy nights at home, intoxicating smell of apple pie and cinnamon, and of course, the beautiful leaf dance, that Mother Nature puts on for us, with every gentle breeze of wind.🌰🍁🍂👻🎃 These are the last looks for Halloween, so let me present you : The Mad Butcher:   Glam Skull: And Poison Ivy: Many thanks, to my friends, for their creativity and imagination, in creating their costumes and characters. I can not wait for next Halloween! Kisses, Julia
