Maybelline: Color Tattoo Gel Cream Shadows

Yes I have been extremely lazy in the make up department. The more ease, the better. I haven't been using eyeshadow palettes either.

Therefore I went down another road. My best friends these days are definitely cream shadows.

And because of that its time to put my thoughts finally in a review.
Lets go!

MAC: Strobe Cream

I never was the biggest MAC fan. Reason being, it is expensive here. Although I love to spoil myself once in a while with MAC.

In some recent videos I have watched a lot of people seem to like the MAC Strobe Cream and since it could also be part in the strobing trend, I thought to give it a shot.

Catrice: Illuminating & Bronzing Pen

A few posts ago I wrote about my first thoughts on the pen highlighters by Catrice. I couldn't decide on picking one so as usual I went for both shades. 

My first thoughts were fairly fine and didn't find anything wrong with them. Today, after a bit more testing, I'm giving you my final, full thoughts on them.

Still good, keep reading!

Essence: Soo Glow, Cream to powder highlighter

Going down the budget road the past blogposts! Turns out I love me some good budget and I love to show you guys that!

Today, yes no surprise here, I am showing you some Essence goodies that came with their new autumn/winter change.

Remember me reviewing the Essence Soo Blush products. I really enjoyed them. Perfect for summer.

Yet with autumn and winter approaching the sunny days are gone, I like to create a more highlighted and bronzed face to lighten up the plain days, if that makes sense. And therefore these highlighters come in the picture.
My review, you can find it here.

Essence: Effect Eyeshadow

Lately I prefer to go for cream shadows, they are easy to use, quick and if you are as lazy as I am in the morning, creams are your best friend.

I already found some precious babies in the Maybelline Color Tattoo creams and I haven't found one that could compete next to them.

Yet with an Essence change a few months ago (where I wasn't to impressed about) I did find new creams.

Effect shadows. Way cheaper than Maybelline. Are they better than my Maybelline ones? Lets find out.

August Favourites

Well where did August go? Where did the summer went to? I can't believe this year is passing by so quickly. This month the new fall/winter collection (make up and fashion wise) started to arrive in stores. Dark lips for the win you know. 

I can't wait to try all those new beauties as well. However I kept my make up very natural this month. I didn't splurged to much on new stuff and pink hair and colourful make up somehow don't fit me.

I did gathered up some new loves in August and I will show you those in this blogpost. Lets get right into it.

Essence: Soo Blush, Cream to Powder blush

Not only Catrice did had some changes goitng on, Essence also changed up their assortment bit.

To be honest with you, the Essence change wasn't near as good as the Catrice change.

Although there were a few items that I really wanted to give a try. I've heard its quite a quest to get these products but I thankfully got my hands on the ones I wanted.

Today we go down the  blush road. And I am going to bring you along. Intrigued? continue reading!

Rimmel: BB cream

Until a few weeks ago I always wore a full foundation, even during summer (I do like to put effort into putting make up on my face). But since a few weeks, especially during sweaty weather, I started to prefer a lightweight product on my face.

So I went shopping for some BBcreams and other goodies with some coverage.

Today I am showing you the first of those purchsaes.

Keep reading to find out more.

Essence: Mattifying cream, Take 2

I have an oily and sensitive skin. I therefore want to use as little products as possible. I thought, as many do, that I was 'overproducing' oil. And I took it away. 

But ever since my teacher once told that the thing with oily skin is that all the oil on your skin should actually be in your skin. That changed.

My biggest tip now: Moisterize, moisterize and moisterize. I have found myself an everlasting favourite. Budget and beautiful!

How do I take care of my skin? Continue reading.

Findation

Samples, able to test stuff?
In my local drugstores a lot of times there aren't samples, or they are so dirty you don't wanna touch them.
When it comes to foundation you should be able to test.
My teacher always says if there aren't any foundation samples: 'Ask for it. Even in drugstores they should give you one if you ask for it.'
But I feel so weird doing that somehow.

So here are some tips in getting the right foundation and maybe a life saver.

Metal Glam blush!

As I said in my metal glam highlight blogpost I'd be as well talking about the other Metal Glam product I've been able to find unused.

I always was looking for pinky blushes, never peachy. Because I felt it wouldn't fit me.
As you as well read in my blush blogpost a few days ago. That idea completely changed.
I love peachy blushes.
So last few days I tested the Metal Glam blush.

Sorbet on the eyes

For my make up education we have the assignment to find some make up looks we want to recreate in style of fantasy.
And as I love legends and mythical creatures that's not hard for me to find.
I adore vampires, zombies and fairies and I could easily find some looks that I want to recreate.

For myself I as well wanted to purchase some products that I could have myself to recreate some looks at home.
I came home with some turquoise, purple, green, pink and dark red make up.
Most of those colours you can use either for vampires or zombies or fairies. It's not that hard at all.

I particularly want to talk about one of those purchases.

Skin Care

It's been a while, I know. I've been so busy lately, planning my music festivals(which you will hear more about in july) and schoolcrap! But I'm back with a review on a skin care product by Essence My Skin.
