Clinique Chubby Stick for Eyes in Lots o' Latte

 When the By Terry Ombre Blackstar craziness began I wanted one so bad. There is just something about a cream eyeshadow in a stick that I can’t explain. Since no one sells By Terry here *cry emoji* I decided to go with the next best thing, which also has been on my wishlist for a very long time: the Clinique Chubby Stick for Eyes. I hopped on over to the nearest Clinique counter, swatched many colours and decided to go with Lots o’ Latte; a gorgeous light brown colour.

I actually wanted something more taupe coloured, but I am very pleased with this one. It’s not too warm toned and I personally see a slight hidden taupe in there. It’s very well pigmented and easy to apply. I just ‘‘paint’’ my eyelid with the Chubby Stick and blend it out with my trusty MAC 217 brush. Yes, it’s that easy!

This cream eyeshadow gives your eyelids a gorgeous, brown sheen and the colour is also very buildable. Just keep applying and blending until you’re happy with the end result. It also lasts for quite some time; nine hours I would say. A little note with that is that I have very oily eyelids and an eyeshadow normally melts right off my eyes. I also didn’t use an eye primer, because I ran out of that. So nine hours is quite extraordinary on my ‘eyeshadow wearing days’.

I’m quite pleased with my newest addition. Normally I’m not an eyeshadow person cause 1. the blending just takes a lot of time and 2. it will crease in no time. I do have a lot of eyeshadow palettes in my collection, which is weird, since I don’t use them as often. This eyeshadow stick however applies like a dream and looks fab at any time of the day. Definitely one of my new faves!

The Matte Brown And The Peachy Glitter

It was only last year when I bought my first MAC eyeshadow. I had been obsessed with MAC for a while and I decided that it was time for me to make my own eyeshadow palette. I got two gorgeous colours: Satin Taupe and Naked Lunch. Two beauties that I still love to pieces.

Today I have two new additions for my palette: All That Glitters and Ground Brown.

ATG has been on my wishlist for a while now. It is one of those eyeshadows that everyone has: a ‘If you are a beauty addict you NEED to have this’ kind of eyeshadow.

I love nude colours, so this is right up my alley. It is an amazing, peachy eyeshadow with a subtle glitter that blends very nicely. I do prefer Naked Lunch over ATG though. Naked Lunch is more subtle, les shimmery and is the perfect everyday eyeshadow. That does not mean I do not like ATG, it is just not my favourite.

Ground Brown is specially picked out for me. A friend of mine is a make-up artist and thought this colour would be perfect for me. It is a pretty, matte, brown eyeshadow. Perfect for a subtle definition at the lash line or as an addition to a dark, smokey eye. This eyeshadow is also very smooth and blends like a dream, so I am very happy with it.

There are still a few spots left in my MAC palette, so Santa if you read this you know what to get me!

Haul | Make-up: Max Factor & Catrice

So remember last year’s haul where that awesome deal, of 50% discount on all make-up, came in my life? Well it is back again! Today was the day and even though I didn't need a lot, I still went there to score some amazing beauty goodies.

Let's go on and find out what I bought. Shall we? 

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara in Black Waterproof

This is the BEST mascara EVER! I have used it for quite a while now and I just can't find one that is better. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara in Black Waterproof comes close, but I just like this one more. It makes my lashes so long, full, curly and black. Panda eyes are also not a great look on me, so I am happy that this mascara keeps that to a minimum.

Catrice All Matt Plus Powder in 010 Transparent

If you have seen my other haul you will remember this little one. I believe I was a bit skeptical about it, but I have to say it is an amazing powder. It keeps my skin matt and doesn't make me look cakey. I do need some touch ups during the day, but I blame my combination/oily skin for that.

Catrice Prime and Fine Eyeshadow Base

Eye primers are a huge life saver for me. Without them I wouldn't bother putting on eyeshadow, because it will melt of my eyes within an hour. I needed a new one so I decided to try out this one from Catrice. As you can see I like Catrice products hehe.  It is a creamy consistency and reminds me a bit of the Maybelline Color Tattoo's only this has no shimmer in it at all. I am looking forward to trying this one out with all the new eye shadows I got for my birthday!

Catrice Lash Brow Designer

The brow fever got me as well. I have to admit I just love brows. I envy people with a good pair and I wish I could just steal them. Of course that is not possible so I try to fake it a bit. I do have to admit my eyebrows aren't that petit, but I just want them to be bigger and fuller. I had been eyeing a clear brow gel for a while, so why not try it when it is 50% off? I already know this will be one of my favourite eyebrow products. In combination with my eyebrow powder from Catrice this will become my killer eyebrow duo!

So that was everything I bought this time. Have you tried any of these products?
