Clowny-Clown // Even shorter Hair

Hey ho loves!

I am back for another episode of BatP :) This week we are featuring the very first Halloween inspired make up this year! I am suuuuper excited!

Every year around this time, I get all jittery and waaay too excited for the autumnal season. I am not a big summer fan at all anymore... When I was younger and still in school, I used to crave the summer holidays as much as anyone, but ever since I am "grown-up" (if you can really call me that! Hah!) I find the winter months way more appealing. I love knits, scarves and big boots and my two favourite things happen in this time of the year: Halloween and Christmas! I am one of those creepy people that hope the summer days end at the 1st of september. I pack away all my summer clothes and hope for gloomy weather everyday... What is wrong with me?!

Anyway, this look was inspired by one of my all-time favourite instagram gurus, @itslikelymakeup :) I love her precision and even though I am nowhere near that perfection yet, I am trying to strive for greatness! *insert biceps emoji here* ... AND, you may have noticed my hair being even shorter than before. Well, I just didn't get on with the whole long-bob thang. Maybe it was the cut, or my inability to style it properly, but I was F.E.D. up and decided to chop off another bit :) I feel way better now and I am super happy! Hooray for hair! <3

Graphic Liner // Cut Crease

Hello Peeps!

Here is another quirky little creation of mine, that I came up with a few days ago :) I'm not super skilled in cut-crease or graphic liners, but I wanna make it my business to learn more from now on! And for me, the most effective way to do something is by trial and error :D

Also, you may have noticed my super awesome short hair :) I got it cut last week as ye know and I just couldn't be happier! It felt so freeing to get rid of all that "dead" hair and it was simply time for a change :) I'm trying out loads of different hairstyles at the moment, so if you guys have any tips, let me know in the comments below! Products are down below!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Leute!

Hier ist wieder eine kuriose Kreation von mir, die ich mir vor ein paar Tagen ins Gesicht pinselte :) Ich bin nicht sehr gut in grafischen Eyeliner Geschichten oder Cut-Crease Sachen, aber ich möchte meine Fähigkeiten in der nächsten Zeit unbedingt erweitern! Für mich ist lernen so am einfachsten: indem ich einfach ausprobiere!

Wie ihr ja auch schon mitbekommen habt, habe ich jetzt wunder-tolle kurze Haare :) Ich hab sie letzte Woche um 25cm gekürzt und könnte nicht glücklicher sein! Es war einfach mal Zeit für eine Veränderung, und schlecht ist es ja sowie so nicht für die Haare. Die toten Spitzen müssen einfach irgendwann mal ab! Ich probiere im Moment auch viele tolle Frisuren für Longbobs aus, solltet ihr also tolle Tips haben, lasst es mich wissen! Die Produkte von diesem Look, findet ihr unten:

Stunning Shots // Photoshoot with Tim






Hello everyone!

Here is another set from a photoshoot I did over the summer :) It was a pretty quick and spontaneous shoot I had with Tim from Stunning Shots, but I just really, really love this set! He even got a little "behind the scenes" shot of my man making sure everything is in order... I especially love this photo!

If you'd like to have a little snoop of Tim's other works, you can find his page here: https://www.facebook.com/stun.shts?fref=ts ... Be sure to leave him a like and some love! He really is such a sweet guy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo Leute!

Nach langer Abstinenz, hier mal wieder ein Post mit Fotos von einem meiner Shoots des vergangenen Sommers, mit dem fantastischen Tim von Stunning Shots :) Eigentlich war es ein sehr schnelles und spontanes Shooting, aber ich liebe die Fotos dafür umso mehr! Tim hat sogar ein kleines "Making Of" Foto von mir und meinem Liebsten gemacht, wie er grad an mir rumzuppelt und dafür sorgt, dass alles sitzt... Dieses Foto liebe ich ganz besonders!

Wenn ihr gerne noch mehr von Tim's Arbeiten sehen möchtet, schaut doch mal auf seiner Facebook Seite vorbei: https://www.facebook.com/stun.shts?fref=ts ... Lasst ihm ein Like und ganz viel Liebe da! Er ist wirklich so ein lieber Typ!

That 90's Show




Hello beauties!

As promised on facebook, here is a full post on my make-up and outfit from a few days ago :) ... As many of you probably know, I am a huge fan of the 90's fashion! I love oversize denim jackets, crop tops, round glasses and boots! And as I am a 90's baby myself, I couldn't resist the old trends coming back now! If I think back on my style then or look at old photographs, I do have to cringe... but plateau shoes and belly tops simply weren't as cool when you were just a youngster :D

Anyway, my brain feels like mush today from the heat, so straight onto the details down below :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo meine Lieben!

Wie bereits auf facebook angekündigt, hier mein voller Beitrag zu Make-Up und Outfit von vor ein paar Tagen :) ... Wie ihr ja vielleicht wisst, bin ich ein riesen Fan der 90er Mode! Ich liebe Jeansjacken im Oversize Style, bauchfreie Tops, runde Sonnenbrillen und deftige Boots! Da ich auch ein 90er Baby bin, konnte ich diesem 'neuen' altem Trend natürlich nicht widerstehen. Wenn ich mir jetzt allerdings alte Fotos anschaue oder an die Zeit zurück denke, muss ich schon ein bisschen schmunzeln... Plateau Schuhe und bauchfrei waren einfach nicht so cool mit 10 :D

Jetzt aber genug Geschwafel, mein Gehirn platzt von dieser Hitze! Lieber direkt zu dem ganzen Infos :)

Radunski & Schelest I Photography




Hello loves!

So, I told ye about my shoot with Hellwig Photography from a few weeks ago... Well one of Jörg's friends, Alex, who is also a photographer, offered to pop over with his camera for Jörg to try it out. So like getting two birds with one stone, Alex took some photos of me as well :) Although it wasn't planned that way at all, we had loads of fun and everyone was giving input and ideas. A really great experience for me :)

Alex and his girlfriend go by the name Radunski and Schelest I Photography and do some really breathtaking photography work together! Alex is an absolute sweetheart and an amazing photographer. His work is truly astonishing! I can recommend a visit to their page at any time :)

Hallo ihr Hübschen,

Ich hatte euch ja bereits von meinem Shoot mit Jörg von Hellwig Photography erzählt. Nun, Alex - ein Freund von Jörg, der ebenfalls Fotograf ist, bot ihm an mit seiner Kamera vorbei zu kommen um ihm diese mal auszuleihen und zu testen. Also als würden wir zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen, machte Alex doch im Hand umdrehen auch noch ein paar Fotos von mir. Obwohl die ganze Aktion nicht geplant war, hatten alle unheimlich viel Spaß und jeder tauschte seine Ideen mit den anderen aus. Es war eine wirklich wunderbare Erfahrung für mich!

Alex und seine Freundin sind unter dem Namen Radunski and Schelest I Photography bei facebook zu finden und machen absolut wundervolle Fotoarbeiten zusammen.

Granny Hair & Dusty Pinks

Hello loves!

Here is my most recent make up look, which I didn't want to keep from ye any longer :) You may have noticed that I dyed my hair grey... I've had silver hair for quite a while before but it always faded waaaaay too quickly for my liking, so I said I'd go that bit deeper and I absolutely LOVE IT! Those of you that kmow me, know I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair. I've had so many colours before ranging from black to blonde and everything in between so it wasn't hard for me to adjust :) And because this has been my dream haircolour, I am just stoked about the way it came out!

Anyhow, enough about the silly old locks and onto the make up! As you guys also know, I am a huge fan of matte lipsticks and I've recently written a post about my amazing liquid-to-matte lipsticks from Menow Cosmetics. This is another one of their colours which I insanely love. Ever since I have 'granny hair', I'm really feelin' dusty pinks. I always liked them when I was still blonde, but they felt quite nude to me. Now they really pop and I find they go very well with my fair complexion. What do ye say? Have any of you rocked the paler pinks and what are your favourites?

Deets as always down below!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey meine Lieben!

Hier ist mein neuster Make Up Look, den ich euch nicht länger vorenthalten wollte :) Wie ihr vielleicht bemerkt habt, habe ich meine Haare grau gefärbt... Ich habe schon öfters silber Haare gehabt aber silber hält einfach nicht lange und ich bin viel zu faul fürs ständige nachfärben! Darum habe ich mich entschieden etwas dunkler zu gehen und ich LIEBE ES! Diejenigen die mich kennen, wissen dass ich furchtbar pingelig bin wenn es um Haare geht. Ich hatte schon alle Farben unter der Sonne, von schwarz bis blond war alles mal dabei, deshalb fiel mir das umgewöhnen gar nicht schwer. Ich wollte diese Haarfarbe schon sehr lange haben und freue mich deshalb umso mehr, dass sie alles genau so geklappt hat!

Aber jetzt mal Schluss mit den Haaren und ran ans Make Up! Wie ihr ja wisst,bin ich ein riesen Fan von matten Lippenstiften und trage eigentlich auch nichts anderes. Ich habe vor einiger Zeit bereits einen Post über meine tollen 'liquid to matte' Lippenstifte geschrieben und hier trage ich noch eine wundervolle Farbe! Seitdem ich graue Haare habe, finde ich altrosa Töne sehr, sehr schön. Ich mochte sie auch als ich noch blond war aber empfand sie immer eher als zu nude. Jetzt finde ich sie richtig schmeichelhaft und sehr passend zu meiner Hautfarbe. Was sagt ihr dazu? Habt ihr auch schon Erfahrungen mit altrosa/rosa Tönen gemacht und welche sind eure Lieblingsprodukte?

Alle Produktinfos findet ihr unten!

Festival Make-Up & Outfit


Hello Lovelies!

As we are in the middle of festival season, I thought I might as well prepare for it :) I absolutely love the whole feeling of festivals and concerts because everyone is in a good mood and just enjoying music and summer. We've had a few very hot days here in Germany (which I don't cope with too well) and everyone was out in water parks or barbeque-ing! Unfortunately, I was off sick with a nasty tummy bug so I didn't get to enjoy much of the beautiful weather :( 

And sadly, I won't be able to go to any festivals this year, but that doesn't mean I can't rock this look on a casual evening out or so?! What about you guys? Are you heading to any festivals or outdoor concerts this summer? Let me know in the comments below!

Anyhow, all deets down below :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Da die Festival saison ja grad in vollem Gange ist, dachte ich mir, mach ich mir einen passenden Look dazu! Ich liebe Festivals und Konzerte, weil alle gute Laune haben und einfach nur Musik und Sonnenschein genießen. Wir hatten ja wirklich ein paar sehr heiße Tage in Deutschland und ich musste sie leider mit Magen-Darm im Bett verbringen :( Für mich war das aber nicht weiter schlimm, da ich mit so hohen Temperaturen nicht so gut klar komme. 

Leider werde ich es dieses Jahr auch zu keinem richtigen Festival schaffen, aber warum nicht trotzdem ein Festival Look beim abendlichen Spaziergang oder Dinner rocken?! Wie sieht es bei euch aus? Zu welchen Festivals oder Konzerten geht ihr diesen Sommer noch? Schreibt doch einfach mal in die Komentare!

Hellwig Photography Shoot


Hello Peeps!

So a few days ago, I was in the studio with Jörg from Hellwig Photography and we shot some really rad stuff! Here are just two little insights into what we got up to :)

I really love this portrait! It's so clean and crisp <3 The bottom pic is a little "behind the scenes" shot of Jörg (left), me and my man Niklas (right). It was taken by another photographer, whom I'll tell ye all about in a few days :)

A little something about Jörg: He is an absolutely sound guy and it's so easy to shoot with him! He is super chill and relaxed and he really portrays that feeling onto the model. I felt totally comfortable shooting underwear with him, which is something I have never really done before.

Everyone, go check out his page here:

https://www.facebook.com/hellwig.photography?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Leute!

Vor ein paar Tagen war ich mit Jörg von Hellwig Photography im Studio und wir haben einige geile Shots aufgenommen! Hier habt ihr schonmal zwei kleine Einblicke in unsere Zusammenarbeit :)

Ich muss sagen, ich liebe dieses Portrait! Ich finde es so sauber und liebe die Helligkeit <3 Das untere Bild ist ein kleiner "Behind the Scenes" Einblick der Jörg (links), mich und meinen Freund Niklas (rechts) zeigt. Es wurde von einem anderen Fotograf aufgenommen, von dem ich euch in den kommenden Tagen berichten werde :)

Ein bisschen über Jörg: Er ist ein wirklich super netter Kerl und es ist super leicht mit ihm zu shooten. Er ist super relaxed und ruhig und gibt einem als Model genau dieses Gefühl. Es ist mir auch sehr leicht gefallen Unterwäsche mit Jörg zu shooten; etwas, das ich sonst ja nicht so oft mache.

Ihr solltet also alle mal seine Seite besuchen und ihm einen Like da lassen:

Shooting Time with "Ungewöhnlicht"





Photo: Ungewöhlicht
Hair / Make Up / Styling: Beauty and the Pig
Headpiece: Carolin von Montgomery

Hello my Sweets!

Here is another "photshoot" special for ye: featuring the amazing photographer Laura from Ungewöhnlicht & a fantastic headpiece by Carolin von Montgomery.

It was pure coincidence that I got to shoot this awesome headpiece series for Carolin with her! They had all their models sorted but I was so intrigued that I wrote her a message anyway, telling her how much I would love to support this series. Luckily for me, one of the models seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth and so I filled in for her the next day. Laura and I had an amazing day and became really good friends instantly. She is one of those people you just love from the beginning: we share a lot of interests and found ourselves chatting our ears off that day :D

And how fate seems to give us a little nudge from time to time, I got to work with her again just a few days later, when a make up artist she had organized vanished too :D I got to do make up on an absolutely gorgeous model (photos will be up this month) and got to know some really amazing peeps! I am forever grateful for this opportunity and all the wonderful people I have met through this "casual" conversation on facebook!

Also, I am forever in love with these absolutely beautiful headpieces Caro designes & makes! She is not only an amazing designer but a great model too! I adore her photos and love how versatile she can be! She is a true stunner! Please go and like both of these girlies up on facebook!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Ho Leute!

Heute präsentiere ich euch die ersten Ergebnisse meines Shootings mit Laura Ungewöhnlicht für Carolin von Montgomery's Headpiece Reihe :)

Es war ein totaler Zufall, das ich mit Laura shooten konnte und deshalb freu ich mich umso mehr! Eigentlich hatten Laura und Caro schon alle Models und Visas ausgesucht, aber ich war so begeistert von der Idee, dass ich Laura trotzdem anschrieb um mich vorzustellen (am Abend vor unserem Shoot). Zu meinem Glück, schien eins von den geplanten Models sich jedoch einfach nicht zu melden und so beschloss Laura kurzer Hand, dass ich einspringen werde! Laura und ich hatten einen wundervollen Tag; haben viel gelacht, ununterbrochen gequasselt und uns einfach auf Anhieb verstanden! Sie ist ein absolut wunderbarer Mensch und ich bin sehr froh sie in meinem Leben zu haben!

Das war auch nicht das einzige Mal, denn ein paar Tage später ist eine Visa für ein weiteres Shooting abgesprungen, und dieses Mal bin ich als Make Up Artist eingesprungen (Fotos hierzu sind diesen Monat da). Ich hatte ein umwerfendes Model zur "Verfügung" und habe ausserdem ein paar wundervolle neue Leute kennengelernt! Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese Chance, da sie mir nicht nur beruflich viel Wert ist, sondern ich ein paar wundervolle Freundschaften schließen durfte!

Zudem bin ich absolut hin und weg von Caros faszinierenden Headpieces! Sie macht so einzigartige Stücke die alle einfach traumhaft sind! Zudem modelt Caro selber auch ganz fleißig! Checkt ihre und Lauras Seite bei facebook aus und lasst ihnen einen fetten Like da!

"Why the Pig?!"



So Guys,

the question "what is with the pig?!" has risen quite a lot over the last while, so I'm gonna get right down to it and introduce you to my lovely companion: Piggy 'Macbeth'!

My whole obsession with pigs started in 2011 when I was studying Art and Design (Printmaking) in Galway, Ireland. I was working on my degree show project and a lot of my research involved feminism and female sexuality. I researched these topics a lot and kept finding articles from feminists saying things like "women are being exploited by social media and are objectifying themselves" ... And yes, I can understand! The porn industry is making it hard for women to establish themselves and so on... But shouldn't women still be able to live out their sexuality wihtout fear of a feminist running after them telling them to put clothes on? Are women NOT allowed to be "pigs" and enjoy themselves to the fullest?!

My idea was that most women enjoy sex, life and just want to have fun.They should not be afraid to be themselves. With everything, one can take it overboard and ruin a reputation within a split second, but that is not every woman. Confidence is sexy --> and if you are confident with yourself, your body and your attitude, and act responsibly, then by all means GO FOR IT! Life is fun, for God's sake!

So as the project went on, I found the idea of  the pig really intriguing. Not only was it meant to be a jokey subject that tackled feminists, but it was meant to give women the courage to act as they see fit for themselves. So, about half way into the project I strolled into a butchers and came out with a vacuum packed pig's head. I named him Hamlet and he lived in my small fridge for about a week. I used him to take a series of photographs, which I later used in my art pints. And that is when the love was born...

Obviously, I couldn't keep Hamlet forever (he did turn quite smelly after about 6 days) so a little while later I found Macbeth; a rubber piggy that has stayed with me since. When I started doing make up, I was fed up of all the "oh so beautiful" boring make up posts and wanted to give my blog a little twist. So here he is, haha! I guess it's needless to say I'm quite a pig fanatic at this stage... I WILL own a micro pig at some stage in my life, and my collection of piggy artefacts will probably never end...... Oh well!

Yours truly & Piggy 'Macbeth'

xoxo

Hello my lovelies!

I know I've been super behind on the blog lately but I was also super busy preparing some awesome new things for ye! April has been a really exciting month for me so far! From many awesome photoshoots, to meeting amazing new people and getting a superb job offer... I really can't complain about how fantastic my life is at the moment!

These awesome pics are from a shoot I did with Sven from "Sven Wagenfeld Photographie" last weekend. Sven and I 'met' through facebook and started chatting about shooting together some time in march. We had fun conversations about tattoos, life and cool clothing, until an idea about a streetstyle shoot came up! So I grabbed a bag full of clothes, my boyfriend to assist, and off we went to shoot some really awesome stuff!

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Es tut mir furchtbar Leid, dass der Blog die letze Zeit so vernachlässigt wurde (bei facebook und Instagram findet ihr öfter was) aber zu meiner Verteidigung war ich auch super beschäftigt um euch tolle neue Projekte zu zeigen! Der April war generell ein wundervoller Monat für mich: von tollen Shootings, zu wunderbaren neuen Freundschaften bis hin zu einem tollen Jobangebot, war wirklich alles dabei! Ich bin unheimlich dankbar und stolz auf diese tollen Ereignisse!

Hier habt ihr also ein paar Shots von meinem Shooting mit Sven von Sven Wagenfeld Photografie vom letzten Wochenende! Sven und ich haben uns über facebook "kennengelernt" und uns auf Anhieb verstanden. Bevor das Shooting überhaupt richtig stand, unterhielten wir uns über Tattoos, das Leben und generellen Quatsch, bis wir uns dann endlich zu einem Tag entschieden an dem gerockt werden sollte. Also packte ich eine Tasche voller Klamotten, meinen Freund, der fleißig assistieren sollte und los ging es mit dem Shoot!

Ich wollte euch mit diesen Fotos natürlich auch "Homeward Clothing" ans Herz legen! Ich trage sowohl Shirts als auch Accessoires von Ihnen, die ihr alle hier findet: http://www.homeward-clothing.com/.

Beartooth Love!

Hey Loves!

Here is my latest look from last week! I went to an awesome gig last week for which I wore this look & outfit :) (full outfit look can be found on instagram). I really love wearing bandshirts for men lately. I always wear bandshirts but mostly buy girlies for myself... And sadly, those are never as cool as the guy shirts :D So I snag my mans shirts... Smart thinking! ;)

Make up wise, I was really in the mood for something green! I havn't done a green look in ages and really wanted to dig out my Bh Cosmetics palette which holds awesome greens and reds! It was the first proper eyeshadow palette I bought for myself when I was just starting out and although I don't use all of the colours, it holds some of my favourites. Have any of you guys tried out Bh Cosmetics? I can really recommend them for price/value/quality :)

Anywho, deets down below!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey meine Lieben!

Hier ist mein Ausgeh Look von letzter Woche! Ich war bei einem mega coolen Gig in essen, wo unter anderem die Band meines Freundes gespielt hat und brauchte ein geeignetes Make Up und Outfit dafür! Ich trage im Moment sehr gerne oversize Bandshirts und moppse diese einfach von meinem Freund. Ich habe selber seeehr viele Bandshirts aber kaufe mir meistens nur girlies. Diese haben aber leider nicht immer so tolle Designs wie Männershirts! Wird wohl Zeit, dass ich mal die Fühler ausstrecke ;)

Make Up technisch hatte ich mega Lust auf grün! Ich habe sehr lange keinen grünen Look mehr gemacht und dachte mir, dass dies die perfekte Gelegenheit wäre um meine alte Bh Cosmetics Palette wieder rauszuholen :) Das war meine allererste richtige Lidschattenpalette und obwohl ich wirklich nicht alle Farbe benutze, habe ich da ein paar ganz klare "go-to" Farben :) Habt ihr die Bh Produkte schonmal probiert? Ich kann diese für ihr Preisleistungsverhältnis wirklich sehr empfehlen!

Sorry I have been so MIA the last few days but I was super busy shooting and modelling & doing make up for awesome pics coming up soon :) I got the chance to work with Ungewöhnlicht, a fab german photographer and Mimi Darko, an absolutely stunning alternative model, also from Germany. I'm super excited to show you guys the outcome soon! So keep an eye out for that!

This was just an "everyday" look which I wore around :) I wanted to do something sailor-y and was in the mood for some stripes ... Also, I cannot gush about these liquid lipsticks enough and this one is the darker one which I purchased (exact number will be in the product list). What do ye say? Would ye rock a dark lip like this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Leute!

Hier ist also mein neuster Look von vor ein paar Tagen :) Ich war die letzte Woche super fleissig und hatte tolle Shoots wo ich einmal selbst Model war, und wo ich Visa gemacht habe! Ich hatte das Glück mit Ungewöhnlicht zu arbeiten, einer top Fotografin aus Köln, und Mimi Darko, einem mega geilen alternative  Model ... Ich freu mich schon euch die Ergebnisse zu zeigen! Also halten mal Ausschau danach :)

Dies hier war eigentlich nur so ein "Alltagslook" den ich mal ausprobieren wollte! Ich hatte total Bock auf Streifen und dachte das ein Matrosen-artiges Outfit da am besten passt! ... Ausserdem kann ich gar nicht genug von diesen Liquid Lipsticks schwärmen! Hier trage ich den dunkleren (die genaue Farbe wird unten in der Liste stehen). Was sagt ihr? Würdet ihr auch so eine dunkle Farbe für den Alltag tragen?

Heartist : Body Art

Good evening lads 'n' lassies!

Here is my latest look for ye: a Heartist inspired body paint thingy :D ... This was a request from my man who gave me this job to do before he went on tour with his band. He said "Please do a cool body paint thing, maybe with the Heartist logo? That would be sooo awesome!" ... And of course, we don't wanna upset the boyfriend by dismissing wishes, so here it is, all bright and shiny :D

Have ye any special band requests ye would like to see me recreate in make up? If so, hit me up in the comments below! Product list below.

Hallo meine Lieben!

Da ich meine lieben Landsmänner völlig vernachlässigt habe, hier nun auch mal ein Text auf deutsch! Ich werde das ab jetzt immer machen! Wie ihr ja vielleicht wisst, lebe ich erst seit vier Jahren wieder in Deutschland und schreibe deshalb manchmal etwas komisch oder achte nicht auf Rechtschreibung (eigentlich weil ich einfach zu wenig vom deutschen Schulsystem mitbekommen habe... Keine Sorge, ich muss mir deswegen regelmäßig Beef von meinem Freund anhören. Natürlich alles lieb gemeint... hoffe ich!) also bitte nicht so pingelig sein. Naja, hier also mein neuster Look, inspiriert von dem Heartist Album 'Feeding Fiction'. Mein Freund gab mir diese Aufgabe bevor er auf Tour ging. Die Bitte lautete: "Schatz, mach doch mal was cooles mit Body Paint! Sowas wie Heartist zum Beispiel!" ... Also wer schlägt seinem Menne schon einen Wunsch ab? Richtig, wir nich :D

Falls ihr auch tolle Ideen habt, die ich umsetzen oder nachstellen soll, lasst mir ein Kommentar da :) Ich freu mich über jeden eurer Beiträge! Hier also die Produktauflistung für euch!

Enchanted Witch

Hello Beauties!

As some of you might know, I do a bit of modelling now and then and I think it's time I start sharing some things with you :)

About a year ago, an amazing clothes company from Germany found me through my Blog and contacted me about a possible collaboration with them. That was www.thefistshop.de --> I had seen them at the Tattoo Convention in Dortmund in 2013 and had already purchased a lot of their Iron Fist clothes which they were selling in their online store. However, it wasn't until then that I was introduced to their own clothing line, an alternative street label named 'Pussy Le Phuck'. I regularly promote their awesome fashion for them and a true friendship has grown between us. It has been an amazing stepping stone for me to feel comfortable enough to model.

Now, I really enjoy doing it! I am not a signed model, I really just started doing this out of fun and many amazing opportunities have risen from this. I really hope to build up my modelling portfolio as well as my make up portfolio, so stay tuned for many fun projects to come in the future :)

For any companies or photographers who would like to work with me, please contact me via facebook --> www.facebook.com/BeautyAndThePig or via Mail through here!

Outfit Deets

  • Hat: h&m
  • Cardigan: Primark
  • Blouse: ZARA

Have a lovely day everyone!

Vintage Pin-Up Beauty


Hello lovelies!

Here is my latest look + a very special review for ye! I created this look a few days ago when my awesome new liquid lipsticks from Ebay arrived!

As some of ye might know, I purchase a lot of make up brushes and make up products there from chinsese sellers. Some might find this controversial, but I simply can't afford to buy the 'expensive' Anastasia Berverly Hills, LimeCrime etc. products. I live in Germany and it's super hard to get stuff here from the big brands wihtout spending a fortune on shipping and tax. I always see the products on instagram and facebook and I always say "one day, I'll make a HUGE order!" but that simply isn't possible yet. So I make do with trying out 'cheaper' products from China.

I have everything from lashes and brushes right up to loose pigments, eyeshadows and lipsticks. Admittedly, some lashes that I have purchased had a very hard band and didn't go on as smoothly as for example Red Cherry ones. But everything else has been absolutely brilliant! I never got an allergic reaction or had any problems with my products. I am really surprised with all my brushes that I have bought. I have an amazing bamboo set which I use on a daily basis, and they really didn't lose one hair! Absolutely fab!

But anyway, I bought two new liquid lipsticks a while ago (obviously shipping takes a while, but it's totally bareable) and all I can do is say good things about them! I bought two colours: #28 and #33. #28 is a bright red, which I am wearing in this look. #33 is a dark, browny/wine red which I am wearing in my previous sfx look. They have a normal lipgloss applicator and come in what looks like a test tube. They go on super smoothly and dry to a beautiful matte & velvetty finish. And the most amazing thing is: their price is at €1,97 with free shipping to Germany! The other products range in prices. A set of 10 pairs of lashes which I usually buy cost between €2 - €4, whilst brush sets usually range between €8 - €14. Mostly these products also have free shipping and I have never had to pay taxes on them! Hooray!

I have included a link for the lipsticks for you guys to check out:

Make Over Time

Hey beauties!

So, last weekend, I decided to make up my dear friend Diana instead of myself :) ... As I'm planning on starting a youtube channel soon, I figured practice makes perfect! And there is ALWAYS room for improvement!

I have been really reluctant about doing youtube videos, pretty much because I'm scared that people will find them boring or crappy. I know a lot of people get hassle on their videos and I was never quite fond of the 'hate' comments. But I say SCREW THAT and I'm gonna give it a go! I am currently trying to get as much info on tutorials as I can, from camera tricks to editing a video... It's quite a handful and I hope to wrap my head around it soon :D ... And of course there is the financial side to it. I really don't have a huge budget to spend on this but as I am a perfectionist, I wanna do it right! So if you guys have any tips or tricks, just leave me a comment down below!

And now onto the fun things, PRODUCTS! :D For Diana I used the following products:

Skin
  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation in NC20
  • MAC Studio Fix Powder in NC30
  • Flormar Perfect Coverage Foundation in 105 'Porcelain Ivory'
  • Sleek MakeUP Contour Kit in 'light'
  • Bobbi Brown Blush in 'Peony'
Eyes
  • NYX Cosmetics Eyeshadow Base in 'white'
  • Lanmei (Ebay) shimmery white loose pigment

What's in my Beauty Box?



Hello Guys!

Many of you have wondered how much make up I have and where I store it all, and that is a a good question :) So when user 'SuperHotFemale' asked me for a little peak into my private make up stash and where I store my things, I thought it was a good time to compile a little something for you beauties...

I recently moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend and wanted to create a nice work station/storage for myself this time around :) As some of you might know, make up is one of those things that just accumulates over time; you buy stuff yourself, you get presents etc. So my old place had bits and bobs of make up in every room which really annoyed me!

Essentially, my make up is divided into 3 places: my two make up cases, which I bring out to photoshoots, and my make up shelves in our bedroom. I also have a stash of make up products and brushes that I use for my everyday make up and those are stored in the bathroom. (On this note: If you'd like to see an everyday products post or a post about my brushes, just hit me up in the comments below)

But anyway, I usually keep my make up very organized as I am super clumsy and lose stuff all the time by misplacing it! I love having my brushes in glass containers as they look super pretty and stay nice and fluffy that way. I used to keep them in my brushbelt, but that just got too tight the more brushes I got so now I only use the brushbelt for shoots or special occasions where I need it. My lipsticks are my most precious possessions. I have everything from MAC/Sleek MakeUP/LimeCrime/Ives Saint Laurent/Sisley/p2 Cosmetics/Clinique/Essence and Catrice. As I don't get sponsored, I have to pay for everything myself and that obviously cuts into a budget, so I am not scared of trying out cheaper products.

It's the same with brushes; I buy a lot of things from Ebay which really helps :) Powder and Foundations are things I ALWAYS try out before I buy! As you know, I am super pale and I absolutely can not wear products with a yellow undertone. On the other hand, products that are 'too rosy' make me look orange. But more about that in a future post maybe!

For my eyeshadows, I adore the Sleek MakeUP palettes! I have quite a few and find their colours and consistencies to die for! I am not a gal who goes out and buys one eyeshadow... I'm a palettes or stack gal for sure! I have a lot of Dark Heart Designs pigments as well as loads of pigments that I got from Ebay, which I really really love. Another BIG love of mine are lashes! I buy those in bulk as I love putting on a fresh new pair each time... So that is why I never buy the 'good' ones as I simply can't afford them.

So, I hope this explained everything for you guys! If you have any questions or want to see a post about a specific product/series, feel free to leave me a comment down below and I'll get to it! :)

Lots of love and snuggly kisses!

Your Beauty Pig xoxo

How is everyone? I have been super inactive over the last two months with moving house, Christmas etc. I am super happy with my new make up spot in our new place though and it's so much fun getting back into it! Working in a busy environment with a high customer fluctuation usually causes me to just want to relax at home when I am off... And I always like to take my time with my make up that I post for ye, so doing that at home in my free time is a form of relaxation :) Obviously life gets in the way a lot! :D Laundry has to be done, apartments have to be cleaned and I occasionally have to be fed too :D But enough about all that!
