Favorite Face of … August

If you are not familiar with the “Favorite Face of …” series, click here for a little introduction. Short story even shorter, it is the makeup that I wore most during that month, featuring the favorite (as in most used) makeup products. I have stated numerous times before that I am not ready for fall yet. In fact, I still have a beach vacation coming up in ten days (yay!), so I refuse to turn to fall colors and collections and still cling to my coral lips and shimmery bronzes. Orange eyeshadow…

Have you heard of “Strobing”? Of course you have, it is hard not to if you are into beauty and makeup.

But not with a “Strobing” tutorial, because I am the last person able to fill you in on it´s secrets. To be honest I don’t even get the whole “new thing” attitude people take, to me it just seems like strategically placed…

Chick Lit – MAC Casual Color Lip & Cheek Color in P.S. I like you

Do you know what “Chick Lit” is? I have to admit I didn’t, even though I probably should, as I was target audience back in the 90ies, when this genre made its appearance. Now I don’t want to turn this into a rant about PR companies feeling the need to create a genre called “Lighthearted literature, addressing the issues of modern womanhood”, but mainly consisting of unpretentious stories of silly girls stumbling through their life looking for Mr. Right. I mean, I don’t read this stuff, and I don’t think…

Inspired by … Chanel Mediterranée Collection Summer 2015

If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included!

Admit it, you would love to lie outside on a deck chair, looking all glamorous right…

A natural flush – My Blush Collection

As I mentioned before, I have a tendency to look like I am ill. Or have had way to little sleep (which is true most of the time). My Blush Collection   To stop people from making me sit down and have a glass of water, I rely heavily on the power of blush, both powder and cream. Again, this little overview is MAC-heavy, just because I genuinely love their products and bought a lot of them back in the days. The Neutrals If you would have asked me before…

Light in coverage, but heavy duty in skincare – MAC Prep+Prime Beauty Balm SPF 35

As lover of MAC and of Tinted Moisturizers, I was delighted when they jumped on the band wagon and released their very own Beauty Balm a few years ago. I didn’t even bother to test in in store, I ordered the color “Light” online without second thoughts. At this time there were only three shades to choose from (“Light”, “Medium”, “Dark”) as opposed to 12 nowadays. MAC Prep+Prime Beauty Balm SPF 35 The last squeeze I saved for the purpose of writing a review. What MAC claims: This lightly tinted…

Different shades of neutral – my eyeshadow collection

First and foremost: Yes, I do love MAC. And yes, there were times when I would wait outside my Douglas in the middle of the night to get my hands on the newest releases first. Actually it was 9 am, but you get the picture. My collection, mostly MAC (well, only two exceptions…) I am not that obsessed anymore, but as you will be able to tell from the picture above, I really have a thing for their eyeshadows. And for neutrals. Just for the record (and Mr. Loca, should…

One pan to find them, to banish and light them – MACs Pro Conceal and Correct Palette

Please excuse my sad attempt at rhyming, but my fellow nerds are going to recognize my tribute to Lord of the Rings. Everyone else please be informed that my love for Concealer and Corrector is epic! Concealer is easily my most used item. Scars from recent or long gone blemishes, redness in my skin and my grayish-purple under eye shadows, I never run out of things I want to hide. When I discovered Corrector, it was like a makeup epiphany. Bobby Brown and You Tube introduced me to peachy shades…
