My Makeup Collection: EYES - eye shadows

Hello my loves how're we today? I feel kinda happy entire day but don't know why xD So It seems I'm healthy again haha! Anyways, I'm gonna do eye stuff in more parts because I haven't taken the pictures of all stuff yet.

First to come: EYE SHADOWS


Modellite eye shadow pallete (pinks):
I don't even know where I got it, but I really like it. All of the eye shadows are very pigmented and there're beautiful colours.



Essence Quattro Eyeshadow palletes (03 Ibiza Sun - left & 04 Sixties Reloaded - right):
About these...the formulation is kinda weird. I think that they're very powdery when you try to apply them so it's really hard to get a good colour pay off. But when used with water they're amazing and it's also easier to apply.


The Body Shop eye shadow (don't know the colour but I think it's called Pistachio):
This is awesome!!!! It's one of my favourites! It blends amazingly great, it super pigmented and it stays on very long. I also love the colour itself, and I'm also gonna do a look with this one cuz I love it so much!


Manhattan Multi Effect eye shadow (26 Gold):
Well, it's not one of my favourites because it doesn't blend well and it's not pigmented enough. Can't say much about the staying power but it creases very fast. I won't buy it again because there're a lot of better eye shadows that are worth their money (even if they're cheap:D)


Avon ColorTrend eye shadow duo (Hot chocolate):
Hmm...not too crazy about this one either. It's kinda hard to get enough of the eyeshadow on brush and it's not very well pigmented. If you put more layers on it's okay, but still not very impressive. I've seen and tried better so I guess that would be good for those who are starting out with makeup cuz those two colours are really pretty neutrals.


ArtDeco eye shadow (311 - black with silver shimmers):
This one is quite good, it blends well, they pigmentation is good. I don't love it and I don't hate it. =)


S-he duo eye shadow (no colour):
The white part of it is very useful as an inner tear duct colour and can also be used as highlight colour but maybe it's a bit too white for my skin tone. I don't really use the pink part because it doesn't really show up but I really like the white part.



MAC eye shadow (Shadowy Lady - matte):
With 3 words: I looove it!!!! This is like the best eyeshadow ever, like ever! It's very blendable, it's super pigmented and it last for a very long time. In case you don't know, the shadow that's not in the pan was simply glued on the shadow in the pot, so I accidentally got two for price of one which is really good. =)


BarryM Dazzle Dust(78 - kingfisher; 33 - pale purple; 68- turquoise; 72 - emerald; 83 - green silver; 13 - fine glitter dust - blue silver):
These are awesome as well! They're soo pigmented, all of them have a gorgeous sort of duochrome to it, they last, they don't crease and they're very blendable. They give a nice sheer shimmery colour if they're applied dry and without a base. But with a base they give an awesome colour pay off. To make them more even more vibrant apply them wet and that will give a really gorgeous result. =)


L'oreal Paris Stars secret kit (brunette harmony, one with Eva Longoria):
I really like the idea of making a kit with things that suite hair colour, I think that's really cool. I really loooove the blush cuz it's a perfect shade for me. About the eye shadows: they're really pretty colours, my favourite is number 3 because it makes an awesome highlight colour. They're not so easy to blend, but they're very pigmented, so I really like them. The lippie is too dark for me so I don't use it so I can't really say much about it.


MAC Holiday 08 Smokey eyes palette:
Again: I looooove it!!!!! These colours are all amazingly beautiful, amazing colour pay off, great blendability, no complaining. And I really love the little 213 brush that comes with it and the huge mirror is very handy too. And the packaging is like OMG!!!!


Oriflame Giordani Gold eye shadow quad:
These colours are very nice neutrals, great for everyday that can be turned into a night time look as well. I have a tutorial on that I think, and this is also what I've been using on a makeup class. They're well pigmented, they blend very nicely and they stay on quite a long time.


Constance Caroll eye shadow trio (no colour):
This is a very cheap brand, I don't even know if you guys even know it. But the eye shadows are quite good for the quad's cheap price. The colour pay off is not bad at all and they blend easily. Not bad, but yet not great but very good for being so cheap and it's great neutral colours for those who are just starting with makeup or just don't want to wear bright colours.


That is all from my Eye shadow collection, next are gonna be mascaras & liners & other eye stuff so make sure to check it out.

My Makeup Collection: FACE

Hello to everybody how're you today? I'm getting better so I'll soon be able to make more videos for you guys on YouTube, but for now let's focus on my Updated makeup collection. I thought it would be way to long and way to boring if I would do this in a video form so we're gonna get through this on my blog.

So, first things first; FACE STUFF


Foundations

Miss Sporty So Clear foundation (01 Light):
This one has a very sheer coverage so it's probably not very good for those who have acne, spots, pimples and all that gross stuff that I get sometimes. But if you're just looking for something that would make your skin look fresh and maybe to cover tiny tiny imperfections than that's your best friend. It's kinda hard to blend this one so don't put like dots on your forehead, chin, nose blablabla because it'll sort of dry up on your skin and you'll end up with a foundation spots. So apply it separately like first on the forehead and blend it in, than on your nose and blend it in...I can't say anything about the staying power because I don't even notice it on my skin. It probably kinda soaks into the skin since it has anti-bacterial formula so I don't know.



Paris Berlin Maquillage Le Teint HighTech foundation (LHT 4):
This one has very good coverage, it covers up all of my imperfections, redness, blemishes and just everything. It blends a lot better than Miss Sporty one and I don't even feel it on my skin which is very good for it's amazing coverage. It also has a very good staying power and it doesn't smudge easily. For me it's perfect but I don't use it every day because I don't need this much coverage for everyday, and because I don't have time and because I don't want to get ran out of it =)


MaxFactor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion foundation (Natural 70):
I'm really mad because the woman in that shop that helped me with picking the right shade failed completely. This thing is like 3 shades too dark for my skin tone so I keep it just so that I'll try it out during the summer time when I get darker. This one probably has a pretty good coverage if you apply it with a foundation brush, but whatever you do don't apply it with the sponge that comes with this foundation cuz it sucks! It blends quite well, I like the texture of it but can't say mush about the staying power because I don't wear it. But I put it on my hand yesterday and forgot to wash it off and today it was still on so I think that the staying power isn't bad. Check it out, but make sure you get yourself a foundation brush.



Essence Pure Mineral Make up foundation (02 Soft Sand):
This is a very good foundation for it's price. It gives sheer to medium coverage and it helps to improve your skin's condition. I just stopped using it because it kinda broke me out but I really liked it so definitely check it out if you get a chance. But don't apply it with the Essence kabuki brush cuz it sucks.



Sweetscents Hide a pore foundation:
I don't use it as a foundation cuz it makes my skin look very weird and it makes pimples, scars and stuff like that even more visible, so I use it now as a concealer it's quite good. Not much of a stying power and coverage but it does make a difference.


Powders

Miss Sporty Face powder (02 Medium):
This is my everyday powder because it's the only useful that I have. It doesn't have much of staying power and won't give a matte effect for a long time. It's very easy to apply it (I use a powder brush cuz I don't trust those sponges and puffs and stuff like that) as well as blends into the skin. But again it doesn't have a good coverage.



MaxFactor Creme Puff powder (05 Translucent):
This little thingy also broke me out, it kinda clogged my pores or however you say it and it didn't look very good. It has a very strong smell to it which I like but if you don't than don't buy it. It has a better coverage than the Miss Sporty one and it's also very easy to apply with a brush, again don't use a sponge that comes with, you know why.


Concealers

ArtDeco Perfect Teint concealer (5):
I don't use this one as an under my eyes because it faded very quickly and it didn't cover my humongous under eye circles. I use it now as a regular concealer to hide spots, imperfections, aces,... and it's quite good. I squeeze it out, put it on the back of hand, than apply it with the brush and gently pat it and it gives medium to full coverage with 2-3 thin layers. I like it=)



Maybelline Coverstick concealer (21 Fair Naturel):
This one on the photo is my backup because the one that I'm using is running very low so I got another one=) This is for now the bet under eye concealer I've tried but it's true that I haven't tried many of them so yeah. I like its thicker consistency cuz it makes medium coverage and it stays on all day and doesn't bring out the lines (I don't have those lines cuz of makeup or stuff like that, I have these in my gens if that's the word). I like it, but if you know about a concealer that would have similar texture to MAC Studio Finish concealer which is on my wish list as soon as I get an opportunity to get more MAC please let me know.



Essence 3 in 1 Forget it! concealer:
As you can see it has 3 parts: pink for under eye circles, green for redness and beige for blemishes. The beige one really works as you can I use it quite often. I usually use it when I use Miss Sporty foundation all over my cheeks so I hide blemishes, redness and maybe some other imperfections so my skin looks almost perfect because that foundation is just enough to give me fresh look and make it look better and than this beige side + my two other concealers = perfect everyday look. But usually I don't have time for foundation so I use this method when I have time=) I don't really use the pink side since I found out that my Maybelline concealer is so good but it does work very well and it brightens up the eye area. But I don't use the green side at all. Ir doesn't help against redness and if you put it on you won't cover it up very easily unless you want to look like you're retard walking around with green spots on your face. xD I say try it out if you can cuz two parts of it work=)


Blushes

Maybelline Dream Mousse blush (01 Dolly Pink):
The reason why I don't use this blush is because the colour doesn't suite my skin type. I don't know what I was thinking when I was picking the colour but obviously I knew nothing about my skin. xD I actually really like the formula of this blush, it's very soft and nice to touch. It's easy to blend, maybe a bit harder to control but it's still a very nice product.



Miss Sporty Gloss for eyes&lips%cheeks (sexy kitten):
I use this only on my cheeks because it's useless on the eyes and lips. I use it as highlight above the cheekbone area and it really gives a nice finish. I love it=)



Cheap blush from a gift set:
I know you can't get it, but I wanted to put it up also just because it's my everyday blush. It's sheer, but it does give that perfect finish that I want for everyday. It gives that beautiful sheen, like healthy glow and also a touch of colour and I just looove it.=) I don't know what I'm gonna do when I run out of it...



MAC Sheertone Shimmer blush (Springsheen):
This is an awesome awesome awesome blush and if you can you have to try it. You don't necessary take the same colour but take the same finish =) (and other finishes if you can :D). I think that this finish is kinda similar to my cheap blush but better. So I've already started looking for a good one to buy it when I run out of my love =D Get one I mean it =)


So, there we are, at the end of my face stuff. I know it's long but I hope it helped you guys out. Eye stuff following, and than of course lippies. =)
Have a great day everyone!

First post & blog!!!

Hello to everyone!!! How're you doing? I hope you're better than me, because guess what? I'm sick again man, that sucks!!! But I'm getting better, it was worse on Friday and Saturday. Well, that's a bit late but I owe you this:
Happy new year!!!
I really hope you all had wonderful holiday and you all got loads of presents :D:D:D

Okay and now let's move on. Oh, of course how could I forget! WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!! I know that it's not alot but we'll get there I promise. Soon it'll be full of updates, maybe some makeup tutorials and other stuffies that we love. But since this is my first blog I have to figure out how this thing works, and make it work as best as it can. Everything and the best for you my loves! :D


I was thinking about what to write as the first post. So I thought it would be pretty cool if I would let you guys know what I got for Christmas. It's not alot but it is something. =)
So, I got two pairs of the softest socks I've ever seen. One are light/sky blue and the others are lavender colour. I love them! =) Than I got a huge pack of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and these are on the top 10 list of my favourite sweets so I was really happy that I got them. And than I got a pack that consists of: a simple yet gorgeous black sleeveless black top, silver scarf, silver biiig & heavy earrings (I think I'll wear these as bracelet because they're way too heavy for me xD), two headbands one silver and one black and a small mirror in a silver fake leather umm...wrap I guess? So those stuffies are very cool! Than I also got two books that are kinda off, but okay.
So that's what I got from parents and now from other relatives and friends. I got a silver necklace with too big pendant or whatever it's called on it. I don't know, it's not really my style so I'll just keep it in the box for now. xD
Than I got a a really cute Me&You bear which I got from my BFF and it says on: it's a boy! She said that she picked this one for me so it's gonna be like an amulet, so I'll have loads of boyfriends =) And I got loads of chocolates too :D:D:D
Than from family friends I got a set that consists of black cap, black gloves and black scarf. I really like the cap and the scarf but the gloves are to big for me so my mom took them. And also a cute pencil case and guess what, some more chocolate :D
From other family friends I got deodorant and shampoo from Adidas and they smell soooo amazing I loove it + ...more chocolate =)

I think that's all I got, I'll take the pictures later cuz I don't feel really great so wait for that, maybe they're gonna be on today but I can't promise you this. Okay that's it, it's a lot longer than I thought it will be so I'm very proud of myself :D


I hope you have a great day! Byeeee!!!
