My favorite lipsticks!

Heeey guys,

First of all, before I start with the actual post I just wanted to say sorry for not posting anything in the last 2-3 weeks, this time it wasn't because I was too busy, it was all due to stupid circomstances... I was going to do an UNBOXING post about a package from a dear friend abroad (USA), so I was waiting and hoping it would arrive quite soon but it all took longer, like it was send almost a month ago and I still didn't get it :(

We both don't know but it seems like for some reason it arrived here in Luxembourg (where I live) and then was send to Switzerland, no idea why and some day ago, since my friend was finally able to find the tracking number and track it down, it looks like on Friday it was send back to Luxembourg :) So I hope I'll get it on Monday.

I just couldn't wait anymore, it drove me crazy that things went wrong so here is an actually non planned post!!!

Since I was tagged on Instagram a few days ago by the lovely @poppy_mallone asking me to show up my favorite lipsticks, which I already did with this first picture below (>>>@Irsada_lxbg<<<) I decided to take that idea further and do a blogpost with some swatches for you guys ^^

It was kind of hard but I had it down to these 9 lipsticks that I love over everything and that I'll buy over and over again as soon as they are finished.

SWATCHES using natural day light

  

MAC Ruby Woo

Bold red matte color. I barely wear red lipstick because I always believe it doesn't suit me or let's just say it out loud, I look like a russian whore with it but this one is one of the few that I can wear without doubt :) 

MAC Rebel

Pink plum with satin finish. Not only one of my favorite lipsticks. I guess everyone owns it. One of Mac's bestsellers I would say.

Maybelline Brazen Beige

light peachy beige color, from the Maybelline Color Sensational Stripped Nudes that came out last year.

YSL Rouge Volupté n°1

creamy natural pinky beige. This one feels so creamy on the lips! Also well pigmented.

Calvin Klein Retro

actually the real name is delicious truth. It's a very sheer candy pink. It's more of a decent color on the lips with a hint of shiny pink.

Swarovski Crystal Vintage Rose

soft rose color that contains candelilla wax and powdered Swarovski crystals and iridescent pearl.

Bobbi Brown Pale Pink

natural pink, more peachy toned thought but well pigmented and with a creamy matte finish

Flormar supershine n° 508

light redish color with supershine creamy texture and kind of a metalic finish

MAC Brave

nude pink color, comes off a bit brownish and has a satin finish

Yeah I'm more into pinky natural colors and sometimes it overcomes me and I choose a more vibrant color like Mac Ruby Woo or Rebel but all in all I like more of a classic look on the lips, then I go for more color on the eyes ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and kisses :***

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.
