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,

IrSaDa

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Part 1: Dip Brow Pomade

Hello Girls,

As you recently saw I got myself the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy palette and got the ABH Dip Brow Pomade in 'Chocolate' for my birthday from a dear friend. I will first review the Dip Brow Pomade for you before I pass on to the Amrezy palette. So here is part one:

My friend asked me in advance which color she should order me since she was about to place an order for herself and I decided to go with 'Chocolate', a color that is not too light and not too dark.

About the product:

• Waterproof brow color ideal for sultping, defining, and carving perfectly precise brows that won't fade;

• Smudge-free, creamy formula glides on skin and adheres to hair;

• Must-have for oily skin and himid climates. Tighten cap to prevent drying; 

• Cruelty free product.

I have read a lot about this product before and saw that a lot of MUAs I follow on social media use it. I used a lot of other eyebrow products such as eyebrow pencils, eyebrow gels and even eyeshadows to fill in but this is, by far, the best product I've used. And you only need a bit of the pomade.

Before/After

Before: no makeup at all

After: Dior Skin Nude in the shade #20 & ABH 'Chocolate' pomade

I love this pomade and I think I got the right color for me. It fills in all those little gaps and gives my brow a much needed groomed look. If applied lightly and blended well is very natural looking. It took some practice to get the hang of it but now it's part of my quick morning routine. I don't know about totally waterproof but stays on until you remove it.

 

©auraure

Just to give you a small idea of what other pomade colors exist, they do have a few more...

And if you are blond and you don't know which color to use than I suggest you to try the blonde or taupe color!!!

I will buy soon more of their products and keep you updated about them ^^

Have a nice day!!!

Birthday presents!

Hellooooo,

Since my birthday was some time ago (12th August) I wanted to share my birthday gifts with you! I love presents, who doesn't? It's the only great point about getting older!

I had to wait 2-3 weeks to do this post because most of my family members and friends were having their annual holidays somewhere abroad and it's more fun when you see everything in one post.

Starting with the first gift! My mother left me some money before leaving for her holiday trip and when I was 2 days before my birthday at an outlet where they had an Swarovski store I discovered the one chain from Swarovski that I wanted ever since I entered a Swarovski store for the very first time. It was 1/4 cheaper than at the normal stores and since this was the last one left I couldn't resist buying it anymore, I just had to buy it :D The reason I didn't actually buy it before was because I have another similar necklace also by Swarovski, also with a purple heart, but smaller than this one and somehow another lighter purple than this, I received it about 3 years ago from my best friend. She bought the wrong one xD hahaaaaa She wanted to buy me this necklace below but took the wrong one. 

Some of my closest friends collected their money and bought me these unique Chanel earrings which I love very very much. They are huge and bling bling bling and I will only wear them for special occasions cuz I'm already scared to lose them.

A co worker got me these Konplott earrings with turquoise stones. They are simple and that makes them perfect for the everyday.

 

My best friend got me this year this wonderful double Stardust bracelet by Swarovski from their new collection <3 You an also wear it as a necklace. I already took some pictures that I'll show you in another post.

Another good friend got me this sheer lace t-shirt and bought me the Anastasia dip brow pomade in 'Chocolate' which I wanted to try for a very long time already. :) yaaaaaaaaay

And since I got some money from one of my aunts, I ordered myself the Anastasia Amrezy eyeshadow palette, which I will soon present you ;)

Since I kind of always by myself something for my birthday, a gift from me to me lol 

I know that's crazy!!! Like who the hell does that??? hahaahaaaa Well meeeeeeeee xD

It's something by Louis Vuittion... can you guess what? :D I'll show you soon in another post heheee

I also got some money from my aunts and other family members... which I spend way too fast.

This year I felt very spoiled but also blessed! Thank you to everyone who got me a gift or gave me some money!!!!!! And a huge thank you to my friends who joined me on a lovely evening with some nice dinner and a great time at bowling.

I love you guys :***

Sincerely,

IrSaDa

NOTD - 'Dream On' by Sinful Colors

Hiiii guys,

If you like fuchsia then you'll like the color I picked for my NOTD post!

It's from the brand Sinful Colors Professional and is called 'Dream On' :)

Pardon but I don't know what happed while shooting these pictures, I somehow managed to get something dark on my ringfinger and I didn't even notice until I loaded the pictures up xD

 

Actually this colors is matte as you can see here below but I like it more with a top coat over it! For me this is totally fuchsia, but maybe you could also say it's a neon popping purple and in the right light it has some amazing bright tones to it.

I applied it over my grown out gel nails (which I filled off quite a bit with a machine I have at home). I applied 2 thin coats and then my Seche Vite top coat.

Funny story, I can't remember when I actually bought this nailpolish, it wasn't recently for sure cuz this year I promised myself I'll stop being such a nailpolish maniac, so it must have been last year. I even forgot I have this polish but I found him in my storage and I fell in love with it all over again. I love this color, it's so 'damn in your face' and perfect to end a summer with.

I'd say this is one of the most beautiful colors Sinful Colors professional brought out and a must-have color for the nails.

Thanks for reading!

Primark haul :)

Hey guys,

I'm back with a little Primark haul. I've been to Saarbrücken last week but I didn't find the time to do this post until now, I had some time management problems and then when I was ready to write this post my camera wouldn't upload all the pictures I made pfffff but now the problem is fixed and here is some of the stuff I bought at Primark.

 

Starting some jewellery!

I love Primark jewellery. You can get really great necklaces, bracelets, earrings for almost nothing there. Awwww and it's probably the one thing I can't leave without, I really can't go home without buying at least one new chain or something else from their accessoires.

 

So I bought two new chains. One with gold hareware and one big pearl and another one with lots of white pearls and a golden heart as pendant, plus the bracelet that goes with it. I think they were all 2,5 €, maybe the one with the big pearl was slightly more expensive. I trow the price tag away when I got home since I wanted to wear it like immediately.

And I don't know what happened to my mental wellbeing but the moment I saw they had quite a big range of hairbands in all colors and forms, I couldn't hold myself together. I grabbed 4 of 100 lol And I'm not even the typ of person that wears hairbands but as already said I just needed to those 4 and yes I might be that kind of girl that buys stuff she's never gonna even use but it's good to have them.. lol you never know. Althought I already wore one of these to a friend's wedding haaaa it was worth it.

I also bought this neon pink little wallet, or even clutch? Whatsoever I needed a smaller wallet because I have a Tory Burch wallet that doesn't fit in my smaller bags/clutches. I find it super cute and super affordable with only 5 € as price.

Primark Shoes... the second thing I can't go home without! I also always have to buy at least one pair of shoes at Primark or I won't feel good or I'll feel like the mission wasn't completed. lol you understand! These were 15 € if I'm not wrong.

Last but not least I bought this 'Rolling Stones' tshirt for only 10 €, and actually 3 more tshirts but those were basic tank tops in 3 different colors, didn't feel like mentioning them in this post.

I love those kind of shopping trips to different cities from time to time. And god knows I love Primark, you can find so many good stuff, and sometimes too much of everything. Whatsoever I do dislike the fact that they do not pay their employee the fairtrade way but there are so many other brands that don't do that. And I hate people that tell you don't buy their stuff, but they still do it... But this is not that kind ob blog where I wanna start discussions about politics or productions! I did notice that from the first time I bought there and the last time, I did change my buying habits. Now I buy less and I became more picky when it comes to their stuff.

Thanks for reading!!!

Next post is almost ready for upload ;)

NOTD - Copy that look

Hey guys,

Here I am again! And I'm bringing you my newest nail design along. Since today is an important day in one of my friends life because she's getting married, I wanted to do my nails such as I saw them on a picture that popped up on my instagram wall some time ago.

This is what I'm talking about!!! Cute hein??? YESH super cute if you ask me :=D

 

And this is what I was able to create on my nails :)

 

Not such professional like above but I think I did quite a good job if you consider that I actually always suck at drawing hearts lol

 I used following outils to create this look:

• two layers of p2 670 elegant, waited until fully dry
• then I draw the hearts on the tips of my nails using the essence nail art duo stylist which is a dotting tool. I used the bigger side! I just dotted the bigger side in a few drops of Catrice's 690 Fred Said Red and then dotted the nailpolish on the end of my nails
• once that coat dried too I applied my favorite top coat by Seche vite et voilà ^^

Okay, now I have to go and prepare already some stuff for today!

I wish you a nice weekend ;)

Sunday craving : Tory Burch for Fitbit!

Hey my little fashionistas,

Are you working out as well? Well, I try my best and I believe that treating yourself with new fitness clothes helps a bit to find new motivation!

Guess what?

You can be fit and look fabulous at the same time!!!!!!

Cuz one of my favortite brands, Tory Burch, is partnering with Fitbit and created these genius and stunning looking new collection of Fitbits *.*

 

"Here’s a fashion riddle for you. What keeps tabs on your day-to-day activities (the number of steps you take, the calories you burn) and helps you sleep by tracking your snooze cycle? What wakes you up… with a silent alarm? And offers you personalized stats — plus connects you with a social circle of friends? Meet the Fitbit Flex — and the new Tory Burch for Fitbit collection, which does all this in the guise of a super-chic accessory, like the above gold fretwork bracelet. Get fit, in style."

It was about time for some more fashionable Fitbit bracelts and I'm really considering buying one of them :D

You can pre-order them on toryburch.com

Happy Sunday!

W7 In The Buff vs. UD NAKED 2

Hey guys,

I recently ordered some new makeup and discovered that there is a palette that looks just like one of the Urban Decay Naked palettes! It's from a brand called w7, heard already a lot about it but wasn't able to find it anywhere near or online until now. So I just couldn't resist to order and test it! So here is my review with swatches and thoughts ^^

 

Both are housed in a tin and hold 12 neutral shades.

While the Naked 2 has the dual ended Good Karma Shadow Brush, the w7 comes with a dual ended sponge tip and brush applicator.

The packaging of the Naked 2 palette looks so mucher better made than the In the Buff palette.The only advantage about the In The Buff palette is that it is less havier than the Naked 2 palette, slightly bigger thought but nothing less handy.

 

 

The biggest difference on the back is the fact that w7 displays its shade names there while Naked 2 displays them inside under the pans. 

Both palettes hold the same amount of product = 15,6 g. 12 x 1,3 g each eyeshadow!

 

While the Naked 2 has a mirror inside, the w7 hasn't any at all.

As you can see this is an obvious dupe of the Naked 2 palette!!!

SWATCHES

 

 From Left-Right!

upper row = Buff, Camel, Sand, Dust, Chocolate, Topaz, Earth, Storm, Silk, Wave, Thunder, Onyx

lower row = Foxy, Half baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout

I used a primer potion before swatching the shades on my left arm! However you can't see much of the first Naked 2 color (Foxy) since it's pretty much a very light skin tone color.

Swatched on my arm you can see that there is a difference when it comes to pigmentation. The colors are the same as the Naked 2 ones, nothing to deny but it can't keep up with the pigmentation!!!! However  it's pigmentation doesn't have to hide either. I would still give it a good note.

Pros & Cons

Pros: lighter packaging and definitely the cheaper price of it, 8,99 € instead of 47,90 €!

Cons: I dislike the fact that there is no information on where it is made (Made in China?), less pigmented than Naked 2; it contains silicones & parabens while Naked 2 is paraben free, vegan-friendly and cruelty-free; the dual-brush is too small as as a shadow brush for my taste.

Final Thoughts:

I would say this is quite a good palette for 8,99 € and a great present to give away to someone who is not that much into makeup. The holding of the shades on the eyes can stay up to 4-5 hours and if you don't mind up a touch-up this is really not a bad eyeshadow palette for you. I would say it's perfect for school girls that have started using makeup and don't want to or can't spend so much money.

If you wanna order it too, I can provide you with a 5% off promotion code on kosmetik4less.de

Use the code 5PRK4L until 31.08.14, except on essence and Sigma products!

THANKS FOR READING! HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
