Estée Lauder Kendall Jenner Lipstick in Restless

I will just come forward and say it: I love Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It's my all-time guilty pleasure and I love seeing their day-to-day life. When Kendall came out with her Limited Edition lipstick for Estée Lauder I thought it was very pretty, but I wasn't totally obsessed. Then I saw some videos on YouTube and I really felt like I was missing out. I love matte lipsticks and this lipstick just seemed drop-dead gorgeous.

It was still in stock on the website (lucky me), but paying €32,00 for a lipstick was a lot for me. By the time I made the decision I wanted to have it anyways, it was sold out. The next day I checked the website probably a million times to see if it miraculously was back in stock and at 7pm the words ''Sold Out'' had disappeared. I immediately ordered it and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

It's actually the first luxury lipstick I've owned in my life and I can't be happier about it. I have a couple of MAC lipsticks, but it's just not the same. The packaging is gorgeous. It is a matte, dark-blue with gold and Kendall's signature is on the top. There is a magnet in there, so when you want to close it, it snaps right into place. The lipstick itself is such an amazing colour and I don't own anything like it. It's red with a hint of orange and the matte consistency is just perfect. 

It goes on very smooth and the pigmentation is amazing. It does rub off a bit when you drink or eat, so make sure to reapply a couple of times during the day. My lips also haven't been in the best condition and, as with every matte lipstick, it does show. So make sure you scrub your lips and moisturize them properly before you apply it.

I think this is one of the best beauty purchases I ever made! It's one of those classics that, as a beauty addict, you just need to have! Also if you want to see the lipstick in action, a Kendall Jenner Inspired Make-Up Look will go up very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that! (update: the video is live and you can watch it HERE)
(sorry for the random make-up in the photo. I just filmed the make-up tutorial and had to take some quick shots for the thumbnail (and this post) and totally forgot to get it out of the shot.)

'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’!
