Im in love with the UPS supplier!

Hey Dolls!

I woke up pretty early this morning and decided to get up and to turn this day into a productive day. I cleaned the house and did the grocery shopping with the hubby. Afterwards i helped my mom to do the grocery shopping and went downtown to buy a new house telephone. I felt happy during the entire day and guess why??? RIGHT!! When i woke up the UPS supplier rang on my door and gave me my e.l.f. and Zoeva order.
I was so happy to try my new brushes out and to get my make up finally.

OMG i just love the packaging of the brushes!

The brush set is called "very croc bursh kit" and i just love the way it looks.

 This is what i got from e.l.f.:

Translucent Matifying Powder

Blush    "Meilow Mauve " 

Hypershine Gloss    "Bubblegum   "

Mineral Infused Face Primer

Dramatic Lash Kit

I love the Blush and the Gloss...the colors look so pretty and i cant wait for my shoes, so i can finally create the whole style.

Oh so nude!

Beautiesss!!!!

How yall doing 2day? Im doing good, just a lil bit tired tho. Just put my lil monkey to bed and now i have finally time to write a blog post. I went to the nail salon 2day and got my nails done. I had black nail tips and got pretty fast tired of it. Now that summer is here i wanna paint my nails again and so i got rid of the "winter nails".
I had to buy diapers for my son 2day and went to he drugstore...and of course i bought something for me as well...*looks on the floor* But the nail polish, i got, was just to cute and fits to the heels i ordered.
I got a Manhattan Nail polish from the Manhattan meets Buffalo Limited Edition and its called 95E "Need Chai Latte". Its actually a nude and this is how it looks:

 

I also got a Lipgloss and a Lipliner from Essence.

Essence "Stay with me" Lipgloss - 01 Me& My Icecream

Essence Lipliner - 07 Cute pink

I think it goes well together....using the lipliner first and give it a glossy finish with the Lipgloss. I already know which outfit i wanna wear, when i use the Lipgloss and Lipliner. But you gotta be patient cause my shoes are still on the way to mommy...havnt gotten them yet. The topic will be color blocking tho :)

All that glitters is not gold!

Hey there!

I was looking through my pictures on my laptop and i came across a few pictures that i shot a couple of days ago. It´s a review on an Eyeliner and i actually dont even know if they sell p2 cosmetics in the USA. But if so then this might be interesting for you.
The Eyeliner is called "Gloss Mania Eyeliner" and its basically a Lacquer Eyeliner.
It says: fast-drying lacquer eyeliner for a high-gloss finish.
Thats how it looked when i applied it.

Not really glossy but i thought "okay...just give it a try" Well this is how i looked after celebrating my friends birthday. We sat a few hours in the park and went in a restaurant afterwards. I really did nothing special...so my make-up should look pretty much the same like it looked when i applied it.

Here the result:

 

When i came home and looke in the mirror i was like "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO MY EYELINER!!!????"  I mean i bought it at a drugstore and it was only 2 bucks or something but still...Im using a drugstore eyeliner for 3 bucks in other ways as well and something like that never happened to me. The Eyeliner was basically crumbeled and half of the eyelid line faded. This was definitely a mispurchasing and i think if i try omething like a lacquer eyeliner again, then im getting one from a high-end make up brand.

todays outfit

hey dolls,

i went to the park 2day to celebrate my friends birthday. I thought it was a good moment to take a few outfit shots as well...When i left the house, i just couldn´t find my camera tho. I was pretty pissed and thought okay you gonna take pics when you´re at home. When i was back home my make up looked all bad...thats why i jut took a few mirror shots but whatever...

My pants..

What Up, What Up, What Up???
So this is what i wore a few days ago....i was at my friends house and we wanted to take a few outfitpics and drank a lil bit wine. Well after 2 glasses of wine, i felt like i was high or something. I wasn´t drunk tho. I didn´t feel like taking pics at all anymore. And that´s how my pics looking..lol. Hope you don´t mind it.

 

Shirt: H&M, Pants: no name, Shoes: ASOS

cloudy days...

Hey Ladies!

This is an outfit i wore a couple of weeks ago. I went shopping with a friend and i felt like dressing comfortable but a little bit dressy too. I ended up wearing a oversize shirt, leggings and heels.

 

It´s not special at all but i felt comfy and was ready for shopping :) Excuse my weird face but i just cant relax my faxe when it´s actually cloudy but still glary outside...I forgot my shades and ppl were asking me always " are you mad?" and " why do you look so angry?" lol

Make-Up Tag

 

1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?

The first time, i wore Make-Up was when i had this ballet performance. I think that was at age 6 or 7. I used to dance ballet, flamenco, jazz, hip-hop, showdance and toe dance. So everytime when we had performences i used to wear heavy stage make-up. But i started to wear light make-up at age 12, i think.

2. How did you get into makeup?

I think it was because of ballet and because of my stepmom. She´s a tattoo artist and she does also permanent make-up. I always loved how it looked when women got a dainty eyeliner. I used to get a eyeliner pencil and try it too. 

3. What are some of your favorite brands?

Uhm....my some of my favorite brands are MAC, L´Oreal, Benefit and i like some drugstore produts like essence as well. Im going to try NARS and elf too..if you wonder why i havent tried it yet...they dont sell it where i live, so i have to order it online and i think its always kinda difficult to order make-up online cause you see how it looks actually when you got it.

4. What does makeup mean to you? 

I could live without make-up if i had to but i love the way you can enhance your personal advantages. Personally I love my lips and eyes...I just love to wear lipstick, lipgloss and eyeliner. It makes you feel better when you have a bad day too. When i get up and i look stressed and overtired i just use a lil bit make-up and i look fresh. That´s why i just love it. But i feel comfy without make-up too. I dont wear make-up every day.

5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?

Definitely eyeliner (Essence), Lipstick ( i dnt know which one tho), Mascara ( L´Oreal Volume Million Lashes ) and Blush.

6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?  

See my answer for question 4!

  

7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs high end makeup?

 I think some high end products might be better...f.e. i use a mac foundation and its the first foundation that works a 100% for me. But i think you can look fabolous even if you use only drugstore make-up. I used to do that too and i never heard that my make-up looked bad or something. And i think that a lot of high end products doesnt even do what they promise...so i go for both!

8. What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner?

Less is more!! No matter what age in my opinion. If you´re a beginner then you should start with a light make-up and escalate then...And if you dont know which colors work for you then go to douglas or stores like that and take advice. Nothing is worse than a girl/woman wearing to light/dark foudation. And if you need inspiration just search for youtube gurus or buy books like 

" bobbi brown- make-up manual"

9. What do you think about the beauty community on YouTube?

Personally i think its great. I love especially girls that answer your questions, if you have one. Some just act like they were celebrities and couldnt answer to your questions. But if you visit their channel/blog they write in big,red letters "contact me if you have any questions" !! Oh well... 

10. What is one makeup trend you never understood? 

Huge false lashes or rainbow make up...like pourple eyeshadow and red lipstick and orange blush on top of that. lol

I tag YOU!
