Favorites of 2014

Hiii guys,


I put all my makeup favorites of 2014 for you together!

In the beginning of 2014 I got the Lorac Pro and a bit later the Urban Decay Naked 3. If you like a lot of neutral matte to shiny shades from light to dark then I suggest you the Lorac Pro palette and if you are more into neutral pinky colors then you need to get the Naked 3.

When it comes to highlighting and contouring, I loved the Maybelline Fit Me sticks a lot, they have a few shades from very light to very dark but if you blend them good in they can be the perfect base before you apply highlight and bronzer powder. If you scroll a bit down you can see that I reviewed these Fit Me sticks and how I use them. 

I would sometimes use my Bourjouis chocolate bronzer over it and depending on how shiny I want my face to look like I would often swith from my MAC Rihanna Diamonds Frost to NYX Born to glow liquid illuminator, both are really good pigmented.

For the under eye part, in the morning when you wake up and you look like a zombie, I like to use the NARS radiant creamy concealer. This concealer is simply amazing, it works better on me than the Bourjouis healthy mix éclat & anti-fatigue correcting concealer.

And to fix, especially the under eye part, I like to use loose powder and my favorite has become the MaxFactor Ellen Betrix loose powder. I just tap my Real Techniques setting brush into it and then put some over my radiant concealer. You can't do anything wrong using those two products together ;)

In Spring I purchased the Benefit Sugarbomp blush, it's a rush flush, 4 shades that you have to swirl to get the perfect mix of pop of color on your cheeks. Like all Benefit blushes, really beautiful and all day staying!

For the eyebrows you can't find any better products than those from Anastasia Beverly Hill, they really do what they promise. I got the dip brow pomade in "Chocolate" and can't imaging life without it anymore. 

From the brows to the eyes. Gel liner. Bobbi Brown... Do I have to say more? I don't think so. Buy it! You won't deny it.

And back to Anastasia Beverly Hills.

After summer I got my hands on the ABH Amrezy palette which is absolutely georgous I think every great MUA has reviewed this palette with big excitement & loved it and so do I. MUST HAVE PALETTE!!!!

Last but not least: mascaras.

There were 3 apart from my Benefit They're real mascara, that I also loved to use.

Artdeco Wonder Lash mascara, this mascara is told to be the exaclty same as the famous Chanel mascara, whose exact I can't tell you right now. It does a really great job.

Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara, in case you don't want to spend that much money this is a really great drugstore mascara that I'll keep buying as soon as I'm out of it.

And of course a new love that I discovered: L'Oréal Faux-Cils papillon or better known as the butterfly mascara! Really like the brush, it makes them longer and the formula isn't that clumpy.

That's it for 2014. Last chapter closed!

If you wonder why I haven't picked any foundations, it's because I practically used always the same in 2014 but since 2015 started I already tried 2 new foundations and also 2 new mascaras plus one eyebrow product that I fell in love with but that I will all tell you more specifically in another post ;)

Have a nice 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<<<

New Purchases!

Hatschiiiii again!

I mean hi again,

I hope you guys are in better form than I am. I've been sick for days, and most of the time I spent resting in my bed waiting to feel good enough to stand up and be more productive. I actually had plenty of time to write 10 posts meanwhile but I just wasn't in the mood and condition the last few days, so in case you missed me SORRY for that. I feel already better today and here we go again!!!

I'm showing you today what I bought the last days when I made it out of my house. It's an haul post! :D

 

I decided to try some new foundations so I picked up these 3 new:

REVLON Photo Ready in #004 Nude - CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua ultra light skin perfecting makeup in #22 beige rosé - Bourjois healthy mix serum gel foundation in #52 Vanilla

 

Also did I decide that it's time to get the Urban Decay NAKED Basics :) and since I found a store in my proximity that sells a small range of Revlon products I bought the foundation mentioned above and this REVLON Colorstay eyeshadow palette in #14 Nude elements:

  

A closer look on the colors the new NAKED palette includes:

 

I will post swatches of it in the coming days.

NEW JEWELLERY!!!

My Konplott collection got bigger! I received for my birthday last year this beautiful turquoise ring and now I decided to get more. New light pink earrings and a ring with purple stones joined in. ^^

If you don't know this brand, all the pieces are designed by Miranda Konstantinidou, they are handmade and they used swarovski stones, online-shop HERE.

Finally I got something that has been on my wishlist for months :) 

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie Turnlock ring in rose gold:

I just love the way it looks and this color =.=

And last but not least I decided to get a new photo lens for my Nikon D3100, to be able to shot even better pictures. Only for you! ;) It's a 35 mm photo lens!

Now leave me alone, I gotta play with my new stuff :P Let the fun begin!

READ YOU!!!

Celebrity Inspired Make-up Look: Kristen Stewart!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Helllooooooo welcome to my blog! From now on we are writing the year 2013 and this is my first post for this year :) 

It's a Kristen Stewart inspired make-up look.

 

Some months ago, I actually saw Nicole from Pixiwoo doing this look underneath and had to try it out myself since I recently got to buy mac's cranberry color she basically used to creat this look. (Find her video HERE)

Before

 

After

I took my hair out of my hair bun and left them the way they were since Kristen's hair always looks like she just got out of bed and forgot to brush her hair. It's a dirty look which suits her well and is one of her trademarks. And it was also fun taking those pictures, you can see her often with her mouth a little bit open when she is trying to pose on the red carpet and that's what I went for too. 

PRODUCTS USED

Face:

Make up for ever HD foundation in #120

essence stay all day long lasting concealer in #20 soft beige

benefit Hello flawless in Honey (just slightly)

Astor Skin Match blush in #003 Berry Brown (only the pinker color)

essence long lasting eyepencil in #15 bling bling for the freckles 

Eyes:

Maybelline color tattoo #40 Permanent Taupe (as a base)

Mac Satin Taupe in the crease & for the eye brows

Urban Decay Blackout in the out corner

Mac Cranberry over the whole lid, except out corner & along the lower lash line

Maybelline Master Drama in Ultra Black for the waterline

Catrice #10 Black Jack with Jack Black for a thin line along the upper lash line (really thin)

Dior Show Iconic mascara

Lips:

Calvin Klein retro delicious truth sheer lipstick

Bourjois max 3D shine lipgloss in 62

I even tried to slightly draw some freckles on my nose and my cheeks, I hope you can see them.

Closer look

So this was my first blogpost of the year, many more to come ;)

And I hope you all have a great year, with lots success and the most important thing stay healthy!!!!!

Much love,

Irsada
