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:

Is it Halloween yet?!

Evening lovelies!

I hope everyone had a fab weekend and is feeling ready for the coming week :) ... I had a super exciting weekend with loaaaaads of make up fun!

I was totally in the mood for some special effects stuff on friday night. I know this makes me sound like a super creep, but in my defense; my boyfriend was off for band practice and I was home alone with nothing to do... So what's better than to paint your face with a little latex ey?! I havn't done a nice SFX look in ages and I felt really inspired and excited. I didn't really now how it was gonna turn out when I started, but this is what happened :D It's kind of half burned, half dolly I guess!

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:

• MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation in NC20
• MAC Studio Fix Powder in NC30
