Neutral Look

This is the first time I upload a neutral look, honestly i don't do them very often, but sometimes i really love it simple!

I'm sure everybody has a few HG eyeshadows for neutral looks - so do I :)
I love

MACs Retrospeck e/s
MACs Next to Nothing e/s (LE Cult of Cherry)
MACs Vanilla e/s
those are the ones i use as a base

and for contouring the crease
MACs Hey e/s (LE Fafi)
MACs Kid e/s
MACs Soba e/s

I only have a few neutral e/s because i tend to do bold looks more often - you probably noticed :)

On this Photo i think i wore

Next to Nothing e/s as a base on the lid up to the crease
Retrospeck e/s to add sparkle on the lid
Soba e/s to contour in the crease
and white eye kohl on the inner rim of the eye to neutralize the redness

Plushlash Mascara in Black
Girl Boy Browset

MACs Well dressed p/b

MACs Pink Fish TLC (LE Hello Kitty)

Hope you like it!

NOTD - P2 Gigantic


Hope you love it as much as I do!

...and please ignore the note on my inner wrist :)

P2 Nail Polishes

So P2 is a brand which is only available in Germany and Austria - which is a shame because they're awesome!

They do have a whole cosmetic range but i didn't found it as interesting as their nail polishes :)
I bought 3 polishes yesterday and tried one of these - opaque with 2 coats and lets see about the staying power...

Their range for nails is quite big, they have various nail care products aswell - from top coat over cuticle oil to handcream. I also bought the Anti-Split Coat because the nail on my left indexfinger tends to split.

It says "Clear nail polish protects the nail tip from splintering on the edge. A flexible and waterproof layer strengthens the nail and protects the nail tip from softening in water."
IF this polishes is working i'll buy more of their care range but for now i'm testing this one for a few weeks :)

Here are the polishes and the care laquer:

Left to Right: 208 Rich & Royal, 120 It's Hot, 191 Gigantic, Anti Split Coat

The blue one is stunning, the red is just a classic red and the grey one ha a tint of purple - great colours!

The colours range from classic to dark reds, bright pinks and purples, teals and blues to neutral beiges and black or dark chocolate and i also saw a pastel yellow and a green. The textures are cream or shimmer - no glitter :(
AND the have a matte top coat! I think i will love this brand! :D

That's my first Review for this brand, i'm sure many will follow!

Bye!

Unusual Smokey Eye


Gosh, I used SO many colours on this one, i'm not sure if i can tell you exactly what i did :)

Basically i started do draw the shape with MAC fl in Blacktrack, blended and worked with black and purple e/s to soften the edges...this is what i remember:

Illamasqua UEC130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15
Illamasqua PF135
MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon

MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
MAC e/s in Carbon
MAC e/s in Fig. 1
MAC e/s in Vanilla
MUFE e/s 92
i'm sure i used more, but you get the idea :)
MAC Plushlash Mascara in Black
Browset in Girlboy

MAC Cremesheen in Petite Indulgence (LE)

The Body Shop Spring Trend - Look

Here are the Spring Trend Shimmer Cubes by The Body Shop (TBS)

First of all - I know TBS isn't famous for their make up but this quad is quite nice, since last year there was a significant improvement in the products they launched.

The colours are sheerer than they look but if you have a stiky base and pack them on and on you can get a vibrant colour pay off.



from left to right and from top to bottom:

Sea Shell - looks peachy but it's so sheer even i can use it as a highlighter
Sparkling Sky - a medium blue
Emerald Sea - a medium teal
Hushed Orchid - is a very, very subtle lavender

I really like Emerald Sea - it is very pretty with TBS Eye Shimmer in Emerald layerd on top!
I did a look with this Quad but sadly the Camera didn't pick up the colours very well - looks WAY more teal irl!

Emerald Sea - Lid and lower Lashline
Eye Shimmer in Emerald - on top of Emerlad Sea and Tearduct
Sparkling Sky - Crease and lower Lashine
Emerald Sea - above Crease
Sea Shell - Browbone

TBS Autumn Trend Rose Blush Trio on my Cheeks

I applied TBS l/s in 58 later on my lips - a vibrant neon pink

Neutral Eye and bold Lips



I love vampy lips - i think they go very well with every skintone, as long as you feel comfortable wearing bold lips you should go for it!
Usually i don't really like the "intense lips - neutral eyes and vice versa"-rule but sometimes it's nice to make one facial feature the center of attention :)

What I used:

Illamasqua UEC130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15 mixed with Jojoba Oil
Illamasqua PF135
Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Disobey for Contouring
MAC Powder Blush in Strada

MAC Next to Nothing e/s (LE) - any light shimmery colour will do - lid up to the browbone
The Body Shop e/s in 07 in the crease
MAC lll in Classic Cream top Lashline - a shame they dc it :(
MAC Dazzlelash mascara in black
MAC Browset in Girlboy

MAC Currant Lipliner
MAC Mattene in Bing (LE)
excuse my sloppy lipline - i was in a hurry, i am usually paying more attention :)
