Lorac Pro Cut Crease Look!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I wish you all the best :D

I'm excited to show you my first post of 2015, it's about my favorite look using the Lorac pro palette (1st).

Are you also as excited about what this new year will bring as I am? I hope you all had some nice holidays and are ready to restart and hopefully do it better than ever before. I have many plans for this year and I hope I can fullfill them. It was about time to start a new chapter and go for adventures.

But let's get back to the actual post and the details that might be interesting for you :)

It's a cut crease look that came to my mind when I got this georgous palette and meanwhile I've seen other AMUs on Instagram (Yes, I have Instagram and you can follow me if you want).

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Part 2 : The Amrezy Palette

Hello Chicas,

Here comes part 2 of my Anastasia Beverly Hills post, this time I'm showing you the eyeshadow palette I bought ^^

The Amrezy palette is an eyeshadow palette with 10 shades selected by the wonderful, amazing and world known MUA Amra Olevic better known as Amrezy, and produced by ABH! If you don't know her, you definitively missed something in life, follow her Instagram account @amrezy and check out her blogger page: glamrezy.blogspot.com :D

It's a good mix of matte and shimmery neutral colors, the upper eyeshadow row are all shimmery eyeshadows and the lower eyeshadows are all matte. The range of colors is exactly the kind of range I personally often go for. It has two light colors, that could translate a bit more thought, warm colors that are stunning, and some pop of color with a purple and a green color.

The palette has a really cool leopard print cover and a mirror under the lid. It also comes with a double sided brush which I already managed to loose xD Yes, true story!

All-in-all the shades have a good pigmentation and transfer easily to a makeup brush. The formula is a bit buttery and creamy, but with very little fall-out. They apply easily and blend out flawlessly, except Deep Plum and LBD, they are a bit harder to blend.

SWATCHES

My favorite colors of this palette are Glisten, Topaz, Caramel, Morocco & Deep Plum

Vanilla could be more pigmented thought, and I'm not totally satisfied how Iridescent Purple and Emerald turn out on the lid.

This palette is 29 $, I bought mine directly from the Anastasia Beverly Hills website. International shipping is a bit expensive with 18 $ but it arrives in about 12 days. I'm so happy with this palette, I reached out for it almost every day since I got it. Big thumps and congratulations to Amrezy for this creation, great collaboration with ABH!!!

EOTD

I also created for you one of my favorite looks from this palette to give you a clue what the colors look like applied.

I already showed you how I did my eyebrows and which foundation I used on my skin in my previous post. So I primed my eyes with Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base Primer, 'TOPAZ' on the lid, 'VANILLA' on the tear duct and under my eyebrow, 'MOROCCO' in the crease and 'DEEP PLUM' under the lower lash line up to the crease and slightly blended in the crease with 'MOROCCO'.

Sephora long-lasting eye liner on the upper lash line and along half of the lower lash line, then I blended the lower line with a pointed brush out.

 

And if you prefer more a winged eyeliner look you can do what ever look you like more. To make this look even more perfect I also added a beige eyeliner on my waterline but you can also go with a white eyeliner and of course mascara, Artdeco Wonder Lash mascara..

I hope you like what I came up to with. Let me know what your thoughts are about this palette!!!

Soon more post about more Anastasia products to follow ;)

With Love,

My wedding styling!

Hey guys,

Last weekend one of my many cousins got married!!!! ^^ As you might know I have Balkan origins and that means there was of course a big Balkan wedding with lots of folklore dancing ;) That was a hell of a wedding, my feet hurt like hell for at least 2 days and I was tired for a few more days. 

This is my cousin in her beautiful white wedding dress:

In her other dress, with her two brothers:

DRESS

And here you can see me with some family of mine! 

 

I was wearing a long black H&M dress with a upper and bottom part that is semi-transparent and oppen on the sides which is really great when you dance. I knew I wanted to wear a long dress since everybody else would wear a short dress and I also wanted to try out this new semi-transparent trend ^^ I was also wearing a black satine waterfall jacket over it cuz back then it was still freezing and not as hot as these days.

ACCESSOIRIES

My gold bag was also from H&M, the gold-black chain was borrowed from a friend who actually got it from another friend of mine while a shopping trip in NY. I was so busy that morning that I didn't had the time (or maybe also forgot about it) to put on some earings or other jewellery. And my black shoes with little black stones, that shimmer in the light, are from Jumex. I like them but I will never ever wear new shoes to a wedding again lol Up to 8 hours in new shoes can't end good!

HAIR

I got my hair done by a friend that works a hairdresser. Once again I wanted something different than usual. I went for a hair bun with a braid that goes from the front to one side and I also had a braid under my hair bun. (First 3 pictures are right from the hairdresser, no make up alarm!).

 

And this is what it looked like when I was done with my styling and ready to leave for the wedding! I really loved it and I also got a lot of compliments for it :D A huge thanks again to my friend Jess for that!

MAKEUP

Since I was in such a hurry I wasn't able to take pictures of my makeup from that day and after I got back from the wedding it wasn't that good looking anymore (lot of tears of joy, you know ;)) and so I recreated it ^^

 

Don't be scared about my highlighting and contoring, I know I look like a crazy person with war paint!!!! xD But blended out it turned out into this:

FACE

P2  Perfect Face makeup base

Revlon Photo Ready foundation in 004 Nude

Zoeva cream highlighter and bronzer (concealer palette)

Sleek Face Contour kit powder in light

Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Pink Quartz (more hightlighter)

NARS Organsm blush

P2 Ferfect Face! finish powder in 010 white brilliance

Urban Decay All Nighter long lasting makeup setting spray

I was applying first the face primer, then the foundation, the I was using the highlighter and contor color from the Zoeva concealer palette and after I blended them out I had to do the whole highlighting and contoring thing again with powder (that's what you do for a long lasting, powder over cream ;) as powder of foundation). And then I also applied some blush and transparent powder over the whole face + the UD all nighter spray.

LIPS

NYX lipliner pencil in 810 Natural

MAC Please me lipstick

For the eyes I decided to also go for gold-black eyes! ^^

EYES

Catrice prime & fine eyeshadow base

Sleek yellow/gold eyeshadow (from the sunset palette, lid, blended out)

Sleek matt black (from the same palette, crease & upper lashline, blended out)

Sephora Jumbo Liner in Gold (on top of th lid, slightly blended out)

Maybelline Liner Express eye liner in black

Benefit they're Real! mascara

Catrice gel eye liner in #10 Black Jack with Jack Black (waterline)

Essence eyeborw stylist set (dark color)

Catrice lash/brow designer (to keep my brows in shape)

As mentioned above I was in such a hurry when I got back from the hairdresser that I had to do my makeup very fast and I had no time left to put on false lashes, nor to put on more jewellery nor to do my nails xD I guess for the next wedding I will plan sooner and better!

I wish my cousin all the best with her husband. May they be happy together for the rest of their lives :)

Have a great sunny week!

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)

Bobbi Brown Shimmer  Brick in "Pink Quartz" (for highlighting)

Benefit Coralista Blush

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

Sephora Long-lasting Eye Liner 

Maybelline Master Drama Khol Liner (water line)

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<<<

Much love,

My favorite summer items! (belated post)

Hiiii,

Before I never do this post, here it is! XP

These were kind of my summer favorites!

I wanted to do this post weeks ago, but somehow I always told myself tomorrow tomorrow… but now you can finally see my picks.

This summer I was keeping my eyes pretty much colorfull! I was wearing most of the time blue colors.

From L to R: Maybelline Turquoise Glamour, Urban Decay Mary Jane, Sephora Jumbo liner in purple and gold

Maybelline Eyestudio Quad in Turquoise Glamour; because I had this summer lots of turquoise accessories.

Urban Decay "Mary Jane"; one of the best blue colors ever. You can use it always, not only for summer :)

Sephora Jumbo liners; which are waterproof! Unfortunately I had no holidays over the summer in which I could have gone to a beach and dive my head into some ocean water but I bet these colors would have stayed on their place. They are pretty good pigmented but you can also blend them out to take away the hardness of the color and make the eyes look more smokey and smooth! I did both.

I also used at the end of summer Maybelline color tattoo in permanent taupe a lot but I got it very late since it was sold out forever -.- (review comming very soon)

On my skin I was practically wearing only this powder "Benefit Hello Flawless in Honey" which I used over a moistrizer. It has a SPF of 15 which I thought was enought for this summer as it wasn't that hot at my place anyway. I think a powder is better ass a foundation in summer as it always feels so heavy in summer.

Benefit Coralista… Do I have to say more? This might be the summer blush in general ^^ The blush you might find/see in every Summer pics post/video. And so it is a favorite of mine cuz the color is just perfect for summer and so easy to apply.

Essence sun club oil control paper… wich absorbs excess oil on your skin. Really good for skin that tends to get oily after some time.

 

And my favorite summer item of all!!!!! Save the best for last: the Jil Sander EVE fragrance which I absolutely ADORE! I still you use it btw :P It's a mixed scent of grapefruit, wildrose and patchouli. Just give it a try ;)

And it finally happened :D Mission completed!
