The Grunge Look

Hey there :)

Today, I felt like putting on a darker make up, which wasn´t too dark for a normal day. I wanted to try the grunge look for a while now and a just gave it a go today.

Eyes: 

- UDPP (all over the lid)

- Cosline Eyeliner "Aubergine" (blended around the lashes and waterline)

- Alverde "chocolate" (whole lid + blended in the crease + underneath the eye)

- Sleek "Storm" aubergine (centre of the lid on top of Alverde "chocolate" + underneath the eye)

- Rival de Loop "white coffee" (under eyebrow)

- Maxfactor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara

On the cheeks I am wearing a Sleek blush in "Suede" and on the lips Revlon lip butter in "Raspberry Pie".

I am really in love with this look. I like the aubergine on the lid, but it´s still very settle and not too bright. How do you like the grunge look? What do you think of the make up?

Lots of love

Products worth the hype

Hey there :)

After I told you which products are not worth the hype, I´d like to show you now which products, I think, are definitely worth the hype.

Clarins Lip Perfector shade 01: I don´t really like lipgloss and I resisted the hype, but then I saw my favourite youtube girl using it and I just had to buy it. It doesn´t really give much of a colour, but it makes the lips look so lush and moisturized. If I wore a lipstick that mad my lips a bit dry, I just use this one the day after and my lips are all nice again. The scent is also really nice, quite sweet, but nice. Definitely worth the money!

Revlon Lip Butter "Sorbet": Oh, I´m a sucker for the Revlon lip butters. They give this nice tint and shine to the lips and the colour range is simply gorgeous. I have 3 shades and I´d love to get more, but I just have enough lipsticks.

Rimmel Apocalips "Stellar": I already wrote a review about them. Click here.

Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara: Everyone talked about this mascara. It is well known that Maxfactor mascaras are really good, but this one especially. It gives so much volume, without making all my lashes stick together. This is the waterproof version and it stays on for ages. It is quite difficult to remove it and can be quite annoying if you just want to go to bed, but the effect is worth it. Next time, I´ll probably try the version which isn´t waterproof.

Collection Concealer "Fair": I have seen it on so many blogs and in so many youtube videos, I stopped counting. Everyone just seems to love it and I have to admit, since I have it, I love it, too. It has a high coverage, lasts the whole day and is cheap.

Essie "Mint Candy Apple": The perfect mint! It is one of Essies bestsellers and I can understand why. It needs two layers for an even finish and lasts up to 5 days. I don´t know how often I´ve been wearing it since I´ve got it, but my other nail polishes must feel really left out.

What are your worth the hype products? Do you love these products as much as I do? Or did you resist the hype?

Lots of love

June Haul

Hey there,

I finally ended my "don´t buy make up"-phase. Actually, I thought I would buy a lot more after 2 months without buying make up. I´m quite proud! But now I´d like to show you my little haul with all the make up products I bought in June.

Just a few pics.

Opi "Greenwhich Village" and "Italian Love Affair": These two were a really lucky pic. I bought them in an outlet store for just 4 pounds each, because they have the wrong names on the label, but I went into Sallys and looked them up. So that was no problem at all.

Loreal Confetti Topcoat: Oh, I wanted this one for ages and it was the reason why I finally bought make up again. Always sold out, I just had to buy it when I finally found it. There´s going to be a NOTD with it online soon.

right: "Greenwhich Village" - bright grass green, 2 layers

Model Co Fibre Lashextend: This was a gimmick with the latest Glamour. I always buy the Glamour and I would never purchase the mascara itself. Yes, it gives an amazing length, but no volume at all. If you need length, then this might be the mascara for you. I´m more the volume girl, so this is not the best for me.

Sleek "Life´s a peach": This is my first Sleek blush, which is not a limited edition. I have to admit, I´m so in love with it. The pigmentation is amazing and it gives you a natural look. It can also be layered for a more excentric look.

Revlon Lip Butter "Sorbet": One of the new shades, it caught my eye. The quality is as good as the other lip butters and yes, I´m an addict! The colour is a juicy pink, with hints of blue. On the lips, it looks really fresh and summery and, because of the blue hints in it, it makes the teeth look whiter.

Clarins Ecalt Minute Lip Perfector 01: I´ve seen it used by the lovely Reni and yes, that´s the reason why I bought it. And I´m very happy I did. It is a little bit pricey (about 17pounds for 12(!)ml), but the effect it amazing. The lips feel soft, moist and look simply amazing. When I wore a drying lipstick, I just use that one the day after and my lips are all good again. And the smell, a dream!

These were my purchases in June. I really love every single bit (except the mascara, but I didn´t really buy it) and I don´t regret buying any of them. Have you purchased one of these recently? How do you like the new Revlon Lip Butter shades?

Lots of Love

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
