My Spring Make-Up Look

The sky is blue and the sun is shining; this can only mean one thing: spring is finally here. I am very happy with the warm sunshine on my skin and the happy colours that go with it. I do really like snuggly sweaters and a dark, purple lip, but the cold weather is something that I do not like at all. I am happy that I can finally pull out my bright lipsticks and sandal shoes to complete my spring look.

That’s why today I have filmed my Spring Make-Up Look. I have been wearing this look non-stop and I am in love with the blush and the lipstick. They are both amazing!

What's In My Make-Up Bag?

I have many make-up products, but my favourites and my most used products are obviously in my make-up bag. I bought this make-up bag a couple of months ago and it sort of represents my love for macarons, and make-up of course.
I am always interested in what other people use. From a peek in their make-up bag you can immediately find out what their miracle products are for flawless skin and voluptuous lips. Today you will get a peek in my make-up bag and find out which products are my faves!

GRWM Winged Liner Make-Up Look

Lately I have been very inspired by a few fashion bloggers. Their make-up is always on point and their outfits are fabulous. Negin Mirsalehi is the girl that inspires me the most and I LOVE her make-up. I think her winged eyeliner looks amazing, so I decided to try something similar. A couple of weeks ago I went to a b-day party and I always love to put a bit more effort into my make-up when I am going to a party, so I decided to get the perfect winged liner, similar to Negin’s.

Can I just say that winged liner is so hard to do. Matching them took ages, but in the end I managed to get two ‘sort of even’ lines above my eyes. I also used the Revlon Matte Balm in Sultry from my last post. This results in a lovely look with a Kylie Jenner vibe.

So see here my GRWM Winged Liner Make-Up Look:

'Bad Skin Day' Everyday Make-Up Look

Today I wanted to talk about something that has been a big insecurity of mine for the past 7 years. Ever since I got my first blemish my skin got worse and worse, especially in the years when I was 16-20 years old. I have a lot of scarring, redness and break-outs that keep coming back.

Since November 2013 I have been getting facials every single month and this really helped to improve my skin. It still didn’t solve the problem, but it made it a bit better. Last December I was introduced to a wonder product. I call it that, because believe me it is THE BEST! This product is called Gladskin and I will do a full review of it on my blog soon, but this product really helped to fix all my skin problems.

A couple of weeks ago I did get a few break-outs and I filmed this video. I mainly filmed it because I had time to film and I really wanted to film an ‘Everyday Make-Up Look’. While editing it I saw that my skin wasn’t the best. I contemplated a lot if I should upload it or not and it has been on private for about two weeks now.

In the end I decided to put the video on public, because overall I am quite happy with how it turned out, when it comes to the editing part. The only problem is my skin and some of you might think that I should not worry about it. Maybe your skin is way worse or you just don’t care, but for me this was and still is a big obstacle. I decided to overcome this by uploading it and maybe helping some of you along the way.

While I am typing this my skin is actually pretty good and I filmed a new make-up look yesterday which I still have to edit. It will hopefully go up soon! :). That video will also be the last video with sucky video quality, because I got a present from my dad and it’s a Canon 700d! I cannot wait to film loads of videos for you, but for now here is my Everyday Make-Up Look on a ‘Bad Skin Day’!

The Glossy Lip

Everyone has a period of time where you just fall out of love with something. For me this was lipgloss. As a kid I absolutely loved it. I believe lipgloss was the first make-up item I ever bought. I had them in every colour, but when I was 14, I got more into lipsticks. A long-lasting love that is still going strong.

Lately I started to change my mind. Maybe glossy lips are not that bad at all. Besides the part that my hair gets stuck in the sticky substance that is on my lips, I quite like it again. These two beauties have helped me with getting my love for shiny gloss back.

These two glosses from Max Factor are very simple, but look super pretty. ‘25 Enchanting Coral’ and ‘45 Luxurious Berry’ are two, gorgeous colours. They both have that typical vanilla lipgloss scent, but I do not mind that at all. Once it is on the lips I do not notice the scent. They are not long-lasting, so you need to reapply many times during the day. I have to do this with many lip products, so I just pop the gloss in my bag and I am good to go.

‘Luxurious Berry’ gives a very sheer tint to the lips. It is nice for those ‘off days’ when you do not want to wear a lot of make-up. ‘Enchanting Coral’ on the other hand gives more coverage for a full, coral lip. I do find it more of a S/S colour, but luckily that season is almost upon us.

I am definitely picking up more beautiful lipglosses. Especially in the warmer months I find glossy lips a must! Hopefully the cold will go away soon and I can pull out all my bright and colourful lipsticks again! :)

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?

Favourites | September 2013

So it seems like this month went so fast. We went from summer to fall in this month. Personally I love the fashion in fall. The only con is the weather. It is so cold already, or maybe it is just me who thinks that haha.
This month I have a lot of favourites . I discovered a lot of products in London and also over the last two months.
So lets get to them:

Pixi Glow Tonic
So I picked this up in London after all the hype around this product. I have to admit this product is amazing. It really makes my skin smooth and glowy looking.

Hydraluron
Another hype product, and again this product is amazing! It really makes your skin feel more hydrated. You also need less moisturiser. 

It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Spray
I saw this in the videos of Miss Glamorazzi. I went to TK Maxx and they had it there, so I decided to pick it up. The scent is a little bit weird, but the product itself is amazing. It makes my hair really really soft and shiny. 

Dove Maximum Protection Deodorant in Go Fresh Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena
It is maybe a little bit weird to put a deodorant in my favourites, but this is amazing! I have used the same deodorant for a couple of years now and I wanted something different. It was a spray deodorant, so you also inhale the product. Which is not really good for you. When this came on the market I decided to try it. It is really good. It works even better than my spray deodorant. Just don't put on to much. That is a little tip for everyone haha.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
Everyone talked about this brush, so I wanted to see if it is really that good. I also ''needed'' a new foundation brush haha. I've used it ever since. It blends very well. I makes your foundation look very good and it also washes well.

MAC 217 Brush
This was a little cheeky purchase at Heathrow airport. It was cheaper in London and it had an extra discount. That was an easy decision to make! The brush itself is perfect. It applies eyeshadow really well and blends it perfectly. The bristles are so soft. Definitely the best eyeshadow brush ever!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory
When I first put this on I hated it. It looked very orange on me and that it not really the look I am going for. After that I started mixing it with my Bourjouis Healthy Mix Foundation. When that one ran out I just started using it on its own. It is a really nice foundation. It gives you a healthy looking glow. It gives medium coverage but you can build it up. The perfect foundation for healthy looking skin.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle
Another cheeky airport purchase. I wanted this for a while, but with the discount I finally went for it. It is the most beautiful shimmer I have ever seen. I put it on my cheekbones and it gives me the most amazing glow. You think it is very visible but in the daylight it isn't very noticeable  This is the best highlighter EVER!

Max Factor False Lash Effect in Waterproof Black
After using Maybelline The Rocket mascara this was sort of a let down. It gave my eyelashes volume, but it just wasn't good enough. After using it everyday I slowly started to fall in love with this. I makes my eyelashes so long and gives them so much volume. Now I like this one better than The Rocket!

Stila in the Light Pallet
Another London purchase. My eye immediately went to Kitten. It is just the most beautiful nude shimmery eyeshadow. The other colours are also beautiful, but I like Kitten the most. The pallet has a lot of different colours (matt and shimmery), so you can make a lot of looks. Definitely a good purchase.

What are your favourites of September?

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation Review

When this foundation came out I wasn't really curious. Most of the time drugstore brand do not have the right color for me. They are always to dark.

So when I went to a drugstore with a friend to find the right foundation for her I saw this one. I was really surprised because most of the time they do not really have light colors. So I just bought it to try it out.

This foundation is a 3 in 1 solution. It is a primer, concealer and foundation in 1 which is nice because when you are really in a hurry you don't have to use 3 separate products.

It says that it gives you an all day flawless skin. I also really liked the fact that it is supposed to give good coverage because of the concealer.

This is the foundation:

My thoughts

To be honest I do not like this at all. The first thing is that the color is not right for me, but I am used to that, so maybe it will work for other people.

The second thing is that when I applied it it didn't looked good. I applied it with my foundation brush and you could just see stripes and what ever I did you could still see them. It also looked very cakey on me.

I asked my mom what she thought of my new foundation and in the beginning she liked it but later at the day she said that you could see a line at my neck from the foundation and my normal skin tone and that it just didn't looked natural. Then my stepfather came in and said that I shouldn't put so much make-up on my face. After that I immediately took my make-up off an applied my usual foundation.

I do think the idea of a 3 in 1 foundation is really good, only this just did not work for me.

Have you tried this out already?
