Top 5: Eyeshadows

Hey there,

this week is so busy. One of my friends from Germany is here to visit me for a week and we´re out all day long and I have to work. Even though it´s so much fun, I´m so tired.
Anyway, I didn´t want to miss out on blogging and today it´s time for another Top 5 Tuesday. This time, it´s all about eyeshadows.

Manhattan "dim brown" (top left): This is one of my all time favourites. I bought it 1,5 years ago and I´m still loving it. The pigmentation is amazing and it feels so smooth when applying it. It has already a quite deep hollow, which you can´t see on the picture. Its colour changes between grey and green, depending on the light.

No7 (no name) (top right): I received it in a gift box by No7, which you got when you spent more than 15pounds on No7 make up. In the beginning, I didn´t like it at all, but now it is one of my favourites. Often, I use it instead of a black eyeshadow, as it is a really dark green with gold shimmer and looks black most of the time. It is easy to work with and stays the whole day/night.

Mac "Satin Taupe" (bottom): Do I really have to talk about this one? I have been talking about it so much already, you are probably bored as soon as you see it on a picture. Just that: I love it and I would always repurchase it.

Rival de Loop "white coffee" (right): My favourite to blend all edges of my make up. I use it everyday and I already repurchased it 2 times. 

Chanel Illusion d´ombre "Émerveillé" (right): I have been thinking about buying it for nearly a year. It is pretty expensive, but it is worth it. It works without a base and I usually take it with me every weekend (as I´m out every weekend) and I use no other eyeshadow on the weekends (except the one above). It is perfect for a really natural look but also goes really well with a nice eyeliner. It was really worth buying it.

Top 5: Blushes

Hey there :)

And here is a new part of the Top 5 Tuesday! Today I want o show you my favourite blushes. To be honest, this was really hard. I didn´t want to include any limited edition products, but most of my blushes are limited edition. At least it was not too much to choose from in the end.

These are my top 5.

Benefit "Sugarbomb": This is my go-to blush if I don´t know what blush I should use. It always goes with everything and is not too bright. With its subtle shimmer, you don´t need a highligther during the day.

Sleek "Life´s a peach": Quite new in my collection, but already a favourite. In the last weeks, I´ve always been wearing this if I wanted to add a touch of peach. It is matte, but shimmer can be added.

Catrice "Rosewood Forest": This dark, plum blush is perfect for an evening out. It can be layered and goes perfectly with nearly everything.

Topshop "Flush": A wonderful, bright cream blush which is easy to work with and stays on the skin for the whole day, especially on "hot", english summer days.

No7 "Coral Flush": Your cheeks but better. A nice everyday blush, no matter if in the office, for lunch with friends or a date, it is always a reliable helper.

What are your favourite blushes? Do you have a specific colour range that you like? Or is it as mixed as mine?

Top 5 Tuesday: Lipsticks

Hey there :)

I thought I start the "Top 5 Tuesday", which means that every Tuesday I´m going to show you my Top 5 in any category. Today I´d like to start with my favourite lipsticks.

left to right:

Revlon Lip Butter "Berry Smoothie", Catrice "It´s a Matt World", Mac "Lickable", Mac "Russian Red", No7 "Classic Rose"

same order as above

Revlon "Berry Smoothie" - sheer brownish rose

Absolutely perfect for a natural look. It has pretty much the same colour as my lips and gives them the perfect your lips but better look.

Catrice "It´s a Matt World" - matte orange-red

I´m mad about matte lipsticks and this one is a cheap matt lipstick from Germany. 

Mac "Lickable" - pink-red

more details here

Mac "Russian Red" - matte bright red

Oh, it´s love! Very bright, very beautiful and very in your face. But what can I see but I love it! The quality is amazing and it lasts nearly the whole day. Russian Red, oh, Russian Red! What would I do without you?

No7 "Classic Rose" - matte pink-rose

Actually it is more pink then it is on the picture. Perfect when you want a bit more colour than the Revlon Lip Butter but you don´t want it too bright.

What are your favourites? Do you have any of the above? What do you think about the "Top 5 Tuesday"?

Lots of love xx
