Hi there!
As the weather’s getting colder and the leaves are
changing colour, it’s time to breathe new life into our make up bags! I
just wanted to share some bits and bobs with you I’ve found myself using
a lot at this time of the year concerning make up!
My
by far favourite product this autumn is probably this eye candy (Hahaha
get the joke? No, not funny? Nope. Okay.) by Catrice in colour 570 Plum up the jam.
I’ve had this since a year now but never really used it, I found it
wasn’t very nice to apply, I didn’t like the colour and in general was
very disappointed in such a good brand. My problem was that I didn’t use
it in the right way and- due to the lovely plum shade- looked like
someone punched me in the eye. Now that I know how to do make up (or at
least pretend to do so) I fell in love with this product. It’s a
GORGEOUS shade that really accentuates green eyes but I also imagine it
must look beautiful with all colours since I find that purpley shades
are very versatile and go with almost everything. I imagine it looking
absolutely stunning paired with a bright pink/purple shade for a more
fancy or daring look as well! Klick here to purchase this product!
Some
of you might know that I am veeeery picky when it comes to all things
covering my blemishes. I don’t want to spend a fortune, but still want
good quality, I don’t want them to make my face look cakey, but still
have high coverage,…. The list goes on and on. That’s why I’ve been
sticking to the LOOK all day long concealer for EVER! I still
think it’s a good concealer, but I always found that it doesn’t last
very long content wise. I needed to head to the shops all the time just
for that damn concealer. Not anymore, since I’ve found my new love! The stay all day 16h concealer
might even work better as I find it has higher coverage, is easier to
apply and probably lasts me a while longer. I am using it in the shade 10 natural beige and am absolutely satisfied! (It’s also a cheaper alternative to Rimmel Wake me up!) Klick here to purchase this product!
I’ve
already mentioned this lipstick in a previos post, but I decided to
show it to you again because I love it sooo much and also because this
is what I’ve beeen using on my lips mostly recently. It’s a nice nude
colour which I am eager to wear in school. It really brings out your
natural lip colour, accentuates but isn’t to fancy for school or work.
This is in colour 06 Barely there and a ‘must’ in your autumn make up bag. Klick here to puchase this product!
I
am a massive fan of essence products, I love how affordabe they are but
still offer amazing quality. I especially love their mascaras because I
really see no difference to ‘better’ brands like Maybelinne or Benefit. Oops. This one really boosts the volume and doesns’t clump at all! (And the wrapping is suuuper autumnal!!!) Klick here to purchase this product!
Yep.
Still sticking to this one. I couldn’t just not blog about this one.
One of my all time faves, you should definitely give it a try! Klick here to purchase this product!
Today I want to share my experiences with Acne, since Tia asked me to do a post about skin care! I thought this would be interesting and helpful for quite a few of you, because I know that sometimes all you want to do is hide your face or slather a ton of make up on. Acne can actually have a huge impact on your self esteem but I want all of you out there who have to deal with it on a daily basis to know that you are not alone and that it does fade away- even if the situation looks hopeless. My Story... I've been dealing with Acne for quite a long time now. I remember it starting when I was about 10 years old. I would occasionally get a few spots on my forehead, nothing too tragic- if I look at it now. Back then all my friends had flawless skin and this really made me feel ugly and lowered my self esteem. 2 years later when I got my period, those occasional break outs worsened and happened more often. At this point I started wearing make up to cover up my pimples ...
Hello Mermaids!🐟 Since it's getting warmer, my skin is recovering from the tolls winter ❄ has taken and it's breaking out less recently. Overall I'm quite happy with my skin at the moment, in most areas of my face it is acne-free. 👧 However, I do have quite a few acne scars on both of my cheeks and some on my skin due to hormonal break outs. They are fading, but dark spots are still visible. I don't consider myself a beauty blogger, although 'beauty' is one of the topics I talk about on my blog, simply because I like it but I'm not a professional whatsoever. In February I decided to skip foundation which is probably why my skin has gotten so much better. For my everyday make-up I do a VERY minimalistic routine (because I ain't getting up earlier just to contour 🛏) and I found that it actually looks better than using foundation, concealer and whatnot. Products I start off by using my favourite moisturiser L'oreal Paris Skin Perfec...
I haven't ever told you that I'm actually a huge bookworm since I was very little. I learned how to read at age 4 because my granny was a teacher and ever since my night stand is cluttered with books. Some of you might know that I'm studying English Literature though, which I absolutely love! I figured that some of you might enjoy reading just as much as I do, therefore I came up with the idea to show you some of my favourite books that made it onto my night stand this year! PS: My taste in literature is just as weird as my taste in music. It reaches from teen romance novels to Jane Austen to Crime Thrillers. You were warned. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything? Imagine if she hadn't forgotten the book. Or if there hadn't been traffic on the expressway. Or if she hadn't fumbled the coins for the toll. What if she'd run just that little...
