Celebrity Inspired Make-up Look: Demi Lovato!

Welcome to my blog!

So I saw this look on Demi Lovato that she was wearing on X-factor, about 4-5 months ago and I liked it a lot. Then they did a little print tutorial in the German Intouch magazin a bit later with suggestions of make-up that could be used to create this look and so I decided to go for it and try it out. But like always I'm running late with the post since my life became so busy.

I gotta say I really like the orange-turquoise color combination. It's kind of a great look for spring and summer ^^ It fits her outfit she was wearing that day but I believe you can wear it also with more normal clothes, a summer dress or sth like that, and rock the look :)

My Demi Look:

PRODUCTS USED

Face:

P2 Perfect Face Oil Control Base

REVLON PhotoReady Foundation in #004 Nude

Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer in #51 Light Radiance

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder (for contouring)

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in #006 warm beige

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

Maybelline Big Eyes Palette in #01 Luminous Brown (orange and middle white color)

Urban Decay "Chopper"

Catrice Eye Shadow Pen in C02 Birds Flying High (turquoise color)

Rimmer London Extra WOW Lash + Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Essence eyebrow Stylist Set (dark color)

Lips:

Sleek MakeUp Pout Polish in #964 Peach Perfection (for moiztrizing)

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in #612 Peach Pearl Diamonds

 

I thickened my eyes brows more than I would personally wear but Demi has so thick and fuzzy eyebrows compared to mine that I didn't wanna fill them in too much and make it look like I'm wearing two dark brown beams over my eyes ;) And yes I am aware of the fact that they are probably not symmetrical (which they probably never are since I'm very bad in filling them in or even shaping them). Also does Demi seem to wear some fake lashes but I would only put some one if I would wear this look for a night out. In that case I would use some individual lashes that you can place everywhere you wanna create dramatic long lashes.

  

Closer look

 

I'm already looking forward to show you which other celebrity looks I like too and would wear myself ;) Many more to come!

Have a nice weekend!!!!!!

My first post of this year was also an celebrity inspiring look. If you wanna know how what my Kristen Stewart make-up look looked like click >>>HERE<<<

Primark : Heart Curler Pillows

Welcome,

Remember this? 

 

These are the heart curlers I bought at Primark some weeks ago and I promised I'll tell you what I think of them. Instructions who it works are below!!!

After you washed your hair and dry blowed it, you basically take some sections of your hair and roll the curlers from the points to the hairline. Then you leave them in your hair over night and take them out the next morning!

The result?

It will look like this:

 

I kind of looked like I was wearing a dark Marylin Monroe wig. I was a bit surprised of the result when I took them off the other day, I wasn't expecting them to turn out that curly. They were basically lifted up. I though I looked very strange with them at first but after some hours I got used to this look and it even stayed like this until the next day. ^^

Pros and Cons?

Pro: They were super cheap and very easy to apply.

Cons: OMG! If you believe that these little heart pillows are looking confortable, let me tell you THEY ARE NOT! It was a nightmare sleeping with them xD Everytime I felt like changing the side (which happens a lot during the night) it wasn't that easy with these curlers since I got up at that moment and had to lift my head and then put it on the side I wanted to lay on, you can't just turn your head easily from one side to the other on the pilow, they will drag you back to the position you were sleeping on for minutes/hours before.

Thoughts: If you don't mind having something in your hair while sleeping or you are used to it, this might be worth a try. It's also great if you wanna create a 30s/40s look ^^

You might also wanna try it out differently and only take them up to the middle of the hair which I haven't done yet since the unconformity is a pain in the ass for me. But I might try them again and then I'll update you if my opinion about them changed or not.

Read ya,

NOTD - Pastel Ombre Nails!

Hiiii,

I wanted to try a trend that started already last year and that cought my attention some time ago. It's about painting each of your fingers in a different color but they have to be of the same or similar color range to create an ombre effect or you can also do it like me and take a few different pastel colors.

Nails Of The Day -  pastel ombre nails

 

I really like this effect and I mind try this trend with different colors ;) and then I'll blog about it of course!

The colors I used:

 

I used the 4 color pastel set by Primark and since I have 5 fingers I used Catrice 02 Don't Tell Mademoiselle! on my little finger.

As you can probably already see from the pictures above, the 4 Primark colors that cost 2,50€ all together are not the best. The formula is really really bad, too thick and at the same time not even on the nails, the 8 fingers I used them on looked kind of good for one day (and by good I mean they didn't chip) and then on the 2nd day they already looked like I had them on for a week. Maybe this set was supposed to be for little girls that don't care for quality. The Catrice polish wich looks amazing compared to the Primark colors was okay and had a nice formula. 

Final thoughts: I think this is an AMAZING trend. After all, even if I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the Primark polishes, I'll probably repaint my nails like this on a sunny day when I feel for it ;) or maybe get the same colors in better quality using high-end polishes.

Have a nice week!

Deauty Box Of April!

Hello my lovely people,


I got my deauty box of april on Monday but wasn't able to write this post about it until now since my laptop needed a little repair.

Here we go, that's what I got this month:

Menu of April

This month I got 5 products and 3 little masks!

From now on I'll keep it short with the product description!!!

Vanessa Tugendhaft Or Blanc - Eau de parfum (5 ml):

Vanessa Tugendhaft is a jewelry designer that launched her first perfume collection called Eaux Diamantées in November 2012. The collection consists of three luxurious perfumes for women: Or Jaune, Or Blanc and Or Rose. 

Or Blanc is a delicate, floral and woody scent with the core consisting of fig, jasmine and orange blossom accords. Top notes: bergamot, pink bay, mint. Heart: fig, orange blossom, jasmine. Base: sweet wood, white musk, moss, gray amber. (description from google)

"Full size: 50 ml & price 75 €"

I really like the smell of it. It feels like a sheer scent of a floral field. Can't wait to hear what other people think of it when I wear it.

Avène - Eau Thermale spray (50 ml):

"Unique composition - for sensitive skin - anti-irritating - more than just a simple refraiching spray - protects the skin - multifunction use - good for red skin after makeup removement, shaving or epilation - helps after tanning and sport to relax the muscles. Full size: 50 ml & price 2,50 €"

So this is this month's full size product!

You can use it for:

The Body Shop - Olive Body Butter (50 ml):

"Moiztrizing - absorbs fast - soft and smooth - organic olive oil - fruity scent -24-hour hydration - great for normal to dry skin - not tested on animals. Full size: 200 ml & price 16 €."

In my eyes it has a great smell to it. We'll see if it really makes the skin soft and smooth ;)

Eucerin - DermatoCLEAN lotion micellaire 3 in 1 (125 ml):

"Cleanses effectively - removes watersoluble makeup & clears the skin - the skin can breath better. Full size: 200 ml & price 12,5 €"

I already tried it once and it was neither irritating to my skin nor agressive. I have very sensitive eyes but it was no problem to remove leftovers of eyeliner and mascara. I think I like this product already very much!!! :)

PAYOT - Hydra 24 Crème (15 ml):

"Rich, intensely-hydrating cream - innovative hydro-dermo-regulating complex to deliver continuous hydration - for day or night - Skin appears suppler, smoother, brighter & younger looking - for a cleaned skin. Full size: 50 ml & price 42 €."

 Not used so far!

Deauty Box masks:

Instructions how to use them are >> HERE <<

(Can be mixed with the favorite lotion or/and the Avène Eau Thermal spray)

Final thougths: I am satisfied with the products but I'm so hoping to finally get an Essie nail polish next time. I'm like really craving for a new spring or summer nail polish color :)

 I'll update this post as soon as I can tell you more about these products!

Have a nice sunny day! ^^

NOTD - I'll take you to the "CANDY SHOP" by Deborah Lippmann!

Hi my nailpolish freaks,


It's Nail Of The Day time again! ^^

Today's guest is: "Candy Shop" by Deborah Lippmann 

Let's get the party started!

It looks like a pink frosted cupcake with sprinkles color. This is such a supercute color, it makes me smile whenever I look at it. Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop is described as a bubble gum pink (base) with glitter. It actually think it is more of milky pale pink, the base is more jelly like so the glitter can really show through and take the centre stage.
It goes on very smooth and all the glitter lays flat on the nail and you can either go sheer with this, with only one coat with a small amount of glitter or you could go 2-3 shades and layer on the glitter. I did 2 layers for this look. I also believe that this pale pink really goes well with my fair skin tone. :)

 

The only negative fact about this polish is it costs a hell of a lot money, it's 22€!

But if you still want this look without spending that much money, there is a dupe to it by Claire's that looks pretty much the same ;) and sure isn't that expensive.

Have a nice sunny weekend!

Zoeva, Tarte, Coastal Scents - My Big Haul!

Hi my lovelies!!!

I placed a few orders 2 weeks ago and got them all this week. So I thought of doing a little haul post for you. It's about 3 great brands you might know or not yet. 2 of them are also new to me and one I love since last year. Here is

ZOEVA

I felt like I need more brushes for the face, especially for powder, foundation and the cheeks. And since I gave almost my whole Zoeva set I already owned away (to a friend who had none at all) I wanted to order new Zoeva brushes and decided to go for the face brush set which looks like this:

Plus there is a little brush cleanser that comes with it too. Only used them once so far. I'm not at all disappointed about them but I guess I need more time with them to really give a honest opinion about them.

I also order this beautiful blush palette with it. It's the Zoeva Sun Power palette, which I can't wait to use as soon as it's sunnier outside:

Really good pigmentation so far. There is even a color that reminds me a lot of Nars Orgasmn. Also can't wait to use this in a tutorial.

TARTE

Tarte cosmetics is a brand that is more and more growing in the makeup world. It's available in the US Sephora stores but not yet here in Europe, I hope this will soon be over and that tarte products will found their place in the local stores.The wonderfull wonderfull Lina from Lina'sBeautyDiary (<<< FOLLOW HER) brought me two palettes of this amazing brand from her New York City trip last week. One of these palettes I wanted to get for sure, the other she chosed for me since the Lorac palette (I also wanted) wasn't available. A HUGE THANKS AGAIN to her <3

Tarte Amazonian clay eye and cheek palette:

What an amazing design!!!!!! I fell immediately in love with this palette when I saw it for the very first time in a Youtube video. It looks like a purse. Like a beautiful purse. And is perfect for travel.

It includes two blushes and 6 eyeshadows all different from each other:

I swatched the blushes for you and the upper eyeshadow row:

Two example looks that you can create with this palette, given by tarte.

Tarte natural eyes volume II palette:

Another tarte palette that is very beautiful, handy and in purse style. I don't know if all their palette are supposed to look like a purse, I'm not that familiar with this brand yet.

 

  
This palette includes 10 natural eyeshadows, the upper row has only matte colors while the lower row only has shimmery colors. Also it contains a little eyeshadow brush and a eye pencil in brown.

 

The pigmentation of the tarte shadows look good to me. I haven't been wearing any of the tarte colors yet so I can't tell anything more about them yet but I sure will in the futur. (or maybe edit this post)

COASTAL SCENTS

 
This is probably the Us counterpart to the german brand Zoeva. I ordered two fo the GO palettes, 3x the pro blending fluff brush and the 22 brush set!

Coastal Scents Beijing & London GO palettes:

Each palette includes 12 mini colors and each palette is representing an international city. There are some more like Paris, Cairo, Sydney, Moscow,... . I looked at some reviews before buying them and was aware of the fact that not all of the 12 colors are the same pigmented but I'm looking forward to try them and well see what I think of them.

Pro blending Fluff brush:

I'll guess you can never have enough blending brushes. Wayne Goss was introducing me to this brush. He said it like the MAC 217 just in the cheap version. One costs 4,95$ while the 217 cost about 25$ if not more. I might do a comparison post with other 217 dupes.

 

Coastal Scents 22 Brush Set:

So this is the brush set I ordered along with the other stuff. It has a nice synthetic leather case with the big Coastal Scents letters on it. What I didn't like about this set is the smell that came with it when I outpacked it but after a few hours it was gone, nows it slighty smelling like synthetic.

  

There is a big fan brush on the left side when you open it and a zipper next to it with a bit of storage place for other stuff you might wanna carry with this set.

And this is what the whole thing looks like :)

From L to R: 1. Large Fan, 2. Powder Buffer, 3. Round Powder, 4. Flat Buffer, 5. Angle Blush, 6. Foundation, 7. Concealer, 8. Large Shadow, 9. Blender, 10. Doe Foot Blender, 11. Dome Shadow, 12. Dome Blender, 13. Medium Shadow, 14. Detail Shadow, 15. Lip, 16. Detail Concealer, 17. Pointed Blender, 18. Brow, 19. Smudger Sponge, 20. Large Liner/Brow, 21. Medium Liner/Brow, 22. Small Liner/Brow:

 

LIKE: the price of 35$, certainly a good set for beginners

DISLIKE: The brush are not numbered neither is written on them what they are from, you have to trust the description of the page and kind of learn it by heart.

Brush guards:

I decided to get and try brush guards. They are supposed to help the brushes stay in their form once they are cleaned and not used.

My little gift from Coastal Scents:

I got this little palette of 4 eyeshadow colors as a gift with my order. ^^ Very nice and cute! yay

So as a few times mentioned above, all these products are new and I haven't used them not that much or at all to do already reviews about them but I will and the respective reviews will come. ;)

Keep it reading ^^
