New Zoeva makeup brushes!

Hello my dear followers,


In my last post I shared some great promo codes with you and I used one of them too.

Since I had 20% off, I bought some new Zoeva brushes!

Have a look at the new Zoeva Bamboo vol.2 and Rose Gold Luxury vol.2 brush sets:

Bamboo set vol. 2

From left to right: Defined buffer - Face paint - Cream cheek - Highlight - Concealer buffer - Classic shader - Soft definer - Wing liner 

 

Eight face and eye brushes, all vegan! They come with a brush holder and clutch.

The Vol. 2 Set is made of three renewable materials: Soft vegan taklon hair, bamboo wooden handles and golden colored aluminum ferrules refining the eco luxe design. 

I had the first bamboo set and it was my very first set I bought and I loved it back then and I also love this one. It's very different from the first edition. I don't have many brushes left from that set cuz I gave some away to friends but I do have some left and they are used from time to time and it feels good to have some more. The hair feels very good on the skin, it is indeed very soft and I also love the feeling of the wooden handles.

Rose Golden Luxury Set vol 2

 

From left to right: Buffer - Luxe cheek finish - Luxe paint face - Luxe crese - Luxe smoky shader - Smudger - Brow line - Wing liner

Also eight brushes, same price, same quality.

Love the color of the handles, love the color of the aluminum ferrules, love the clutch that comes with it. "Feminine chic"

They are just beautiful, beautiful designed and made with a lot of love. I also love this Zoeva sign on the aluminium ferrules, they look special to me and they make me feel special. Glad to call them mine. Zoeva quality brushes, great hair, easy to clean and of course the amazing princessly design.

Tipp: When you buy a new set of brushes and they have these plastic forms, don't throw them away, keep them and everytime you wash your brushes put them back on in order for them to keep their shape ^^

Both sets cost 65€, each. I would say the price is okay for the quality you get. You won't be disappointed with no matter wich set you choose! The clutches/packaging are a dream.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Maybelline Fit Me Anti-shine Sticks!

Hi.

Today's post is dedicated to the Maybelline Fit Me Anti-shine Sticks.

What you didn't know about these? OMG You are missing out on something!

Long story short:

What L'Oréal says about them:

Our first gel stick foundation with an anti-shine core
Fresh gel foundation blends to a natural matte finish
Lightweight powders in the anti-shine core instantly dissolve excess oil

Why You'll Love It

It’s one-step perfection.
The first of its kind – lightweight gel stick foundation with an anti-shine powder core:

• Powder core instantly dissolves excess oil.
• For flawless, shine-free skin and tailor-made natural matte coverage.
• Easy to apply and great on-the go.
• Available in 12 oil-free shades.

For Best Results

Apply to your face and blend evenly with your fingertips.

These are really amazing!!! I hated the Fit me foundation, bought a bottle and the foundation was not my skin tone at all and the formula was gross too. But these little sticks are quite awesome. Very handy, you can put them in your bag and carry them with you whenever you feel like you're makeup's gonna need a refreshing or what I like to do with them is that I use the lightest and darkest colors I owe (Vanilla and Moka) for contouring and highlighting (which you can see below) and the middle color 250 Beige Soleil I use when I go swimming and I know I'm going to the city, to the mall or I'm meeting up with friends, then I only use this stick because you can apply it easily on your whole face and then you use your fingers to blend it in. No foundation brush or powder afterwards needed. :) It's practical when it has to be done quickly!

BEFORE contouring/highlighting:

I already prepared my face using firstly a Nivea day cream (normal to mixed skin) then the Revlon Photo Ready foundation in 004 Nude, I also filled in my eyebrows with the MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow. L'Oréal False Eyelash Extensions mascara in magnetic black on my lashes and the Maybelline Baby Lips balm in mint fresh.

I like to blend the darker color with my Real Techniques expert face brush and the highlight color with my Real Techniques stippling brush.

AFTER

The Result!!! :) I think the finish is clearly a more flawless face. I added a bit of Benefit Coralista Blush on my cheeks and I powered it with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 006 Warm Beige. My fache might look on all pictures a bit oily or shiny but actually it wasn't at all, this is probably only because of the flash light, my face was actually matte on each of them.

I carry one of these little sticks every where I go. So easy to apply to the whole face and great for touch ups on the move. Leaves me with a natural flawless finish. Love the gel formula of it = Perfection. Only con, these are pretty expensive, at least here in Luxembourg where I live, about 10-11€. I always try to buy them when I'm in Germany and go to DM, they are cheaper there, 6-7€.

HAVE YOU TRIED THEM ALREADY OUT?

Have a nice evening!

Bags Bags Bags Part 2 + New In!

Heey hoo,

I'm showing you once again what I've been up to the last few weeks concering new bags and some clothes & make up ;)

New bags:

 

 

Furla Candy Bag in glitter purple. Very proud of this baby! Love it all the way!!! I know some people might be afraid of that color and all that glitter but that's exactly what I love the most about it, the combination makes it, otherwise it would be only one of these boring Furla candy bags you can see in the city. And if this isn't an eyecatcher I don't know :) As you probably noticed by now purple is my favortie color. I bought this bag on Nordstrom.com, fast shipping and everything else went fine ;)

H&M leopard clutch, from the new collection. Costs? 20€! ;)

H&M fuchsia bag, I guess also from the new collection. Available in a few different colors for 15€.

JUMEX bag! It's kind of a Micheal Kors Hamilton look alike bag. I bought it because I thought MK hasn't this exact model but turned out after I bought this bag, they do. Anyway, I had and have another MK bag on my wishlist that I hopefully will be able to get my hands on next month. So I'm glad I have this bag that isn't an original MK bag and I can save my money for the one I want more ;)

 

To be continued... (for sure)

New clothes in:

first row: H&M minted thin pullover (bought on sales :)) & H&M fuchsia pullover (new collection)
second row: C&A purple ombre pullover (also sales) & some new dresses you can take a closer look below!

As for my clothes, you can see this year I'm gonna were pretty bright colors! ^^

H&M black & white leopard dress (new collection) & H&M blue dress (sales)

H&M fuchsia dress (sales) & C&A black and pruple dress (sales)

I don't know why but this year I felt like I should wear more dresses although I'm not that type that wears dresses but everything can change everytime. I also got so many invitations to birhtday parties, weedings and other events so that it's better to have more, than less dresses!!!

New make up:

My new make up goodies!!! Among them, my currently favorite foundation from flomar, and some of their new blushes (swatches coming), also a Rimmel London Matte powder, the Maybelline Big Eyes palette one Catrice powder and 3 lipsticks!

swatches of the catrice lipsticks!!! ;)

 

So I haven't wore them yet but I'll keep you up to date if I like them or not!!!

That's it.

Read you! <3

Catrice Infinite MATT

This is the Catrice cosmetics Infinite MATT up to 18 hours make-up!

 It's an oil-free make-up with long-lasting matt-effect.

Hydrating and with light-reflecting pigments, it creates an even, fresh complexion and leaves the skin feeling soft.

I choosed 020 honey beige, because I thought that nuance would fit perfect for my skin typ and give it a nude natural look. It's a simple make-up but one of the best foundations I’ve ever used. Did I mention it’s only 6,99€?

It also has a nice smell and I just think this one is perfect for the casual day.

If you want you can also mix it a bit with darker foundation and have a perfect look for the evening.

Have a nice start into the new week,

Irsada XoXo
