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

NAKED 3 - LOVE LOVE LOVE

Hello Ladies,


Time to get NAKED again!!!

Nooooooo, do not take your clothes off! I was talking about the new Urban Decay NAKED 3 palette that came out these days and if you haven't bought it or found it yet it's because it's probably sold out. It looks similar to the NAKED 2 and also comes with an dual-ended eye brush and a week’s worth of samples of each of their primers.

I first couldn't believe there was a new NAKED palette and I remember I first thought this was a joke when I saw the first pictures of it on instagram. But then more and more makeup artist had it and then I just couldn't wait anymore to get it too.

UNBOXING:

 

This is how the palette looks like and all you get with it.

EYESHADOWS:

This palette has 12 brand new eyeshadows! 3 of the shades: strange, limit & nooner are matt colors; darkside has a semi-matt finish and the rest of the colors are shimmery.

MOST ASKED QUESTION: IF I ALREADY HAVE THE 1ST AND THE 2ND NAKED PALETTES,

DO I REALLY NEED THIS ONE TOO?

 If you ask me personally YES YES YES

Compared to the first which has more bronze-toned shades and the second palette which has more taupe-toned shades, the third NAKED palette has more pink-toned colors. I believe that rosy toned neutral colors really suit every eyecolor and are working better for all day, therefore I would say this might be the best NAKED palette released so far :D

FAVORITE SHADES? I was all the way in love with Blackheart, that color looks so stunning O.O but I also like Liar, Nooner, Buzz & Trick.

The 4 Urban Decay Primer Potions

The original, sin, eden & anti-aging. I personally only tried the original and eden. The original is not bad on my eye but I prefer eden, the color turns out more stunning and I think the lasting is even better than with the original primer. Each sample pd holds about a week's worth of primer!

Crease & shadow brush

 

Compared to the brush that comes with the NAKED 2, it is a bit smaller. The crease brush has shorter hair but is more fluffier, the shadow brush is almost the same just this one is a bit larger than the one from the NAKED 2.

PRICE? I think in dollars it is 52 $ but in Europe it is available for 45 €. I only payed 38 € because I had some money left on a gift card I got some months ago for my birthday ^^

I love that it has almost the same great packaging and brushes as the 2nd NAKED palette :)
 I haven't tried them on my eyes yet but I will sure post soon some creations with it!

GOOD LUCK getting it! ^^

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND TOO
