Essence Fantasia Highlighter Review

Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to talk about a new highlighter that I recently got. It's from the "Fantasia" collection by Essence and I've been loving it. I've only used it for a week or maybe a little bit more, but I loved it so much, I just couldn't wait to write a review!

I got this highlighter a little while ago and I immediately started using it. I really love how it looks. The butterfly in the middle is adorable!

As you can see, the colour of the butterfly (or wait, it's a butterfly, right?) and the colour of everything that's surrounding the butterfly is different. I like to mix those two colours so that I have a bit of each. The pigmentation is very good.

This is how it looks on my skin. It doesn't make you look like a disco ball, which is nice. It does stay on a long time, like when I put it on in the morning I can still see a bit of it in the evening but not as much as in the morning. Obviously I've been touching my face and such... I apply it in a line above my blush, a little bit under my eyes, more to the cheekbones. It gives a really nice shimmer and when the (sun)light hits you there, you can see the glitter and it's just totally adorable!
I really love how it looks. It was only $3.94, which is about €2.99, which I think is very affordable. And also, have you seen how big this highlighter is?! I'd really recommend it to all you beauty lovers out there, like I said, I like it and I enjoy using it!

Look of the day using FM makeup palette

Hello!

 Happy Wednesday! Wow what a special day! 12/12/12 ! 

Do you remember the new FM palette that I showed you a few days ago? I finally had the time to make a look with it! I have taken some pictures of it so that I can show it to you.

The look is pretty neutral, I didn't want to over do it or anything. I like to wear neutral colours with a winged eyeliner and a bit of mascara. It's my signature look.

So yeah like I said the swatches of the palette really impressed me. The pigmentation is very good. The eyeshadow applies really well and I think it looks good on me too. I used the lightest colour on my lid, the middle colour in my crease and then I used the darker colour to darken up my outer corner. I made a winged line using Essence gel eyeliner in "Midnight in Paris" and as mascara I used "L'oréal Black Smoke". That's it!

Don't mind the dot next to my eye. It's a so called "beauty mark" ahum! I'm sorry if it bothers you, I'll take pictures of my other eye next time! I just didn't pay attention to it this time.

Oh and don't forget: you can still join my giveaway! 

New In: Makeup Kit!

I love this time of year: gift sets everywhere, nice products for a very low price, all that kind of stuff.
Yesterday I took a bit advantage of it when I got myself a makeup kit.
It holds two blushes, three nailpolishes, four lipsticks and four makeup palettes (they all hold 6 colours). I couldn't test the pigmentation in the store so I just took it and hoped it would be good.
Once I got home I ripped all the plastic and all the paper of this kit and tried out the eyeshadows (they were the main reason I got this kit).
Holy moly, that pigmentation is great! The makeup doesn't have a brand, which is a bit typical for local stores so I couldn't tell you what it's called, but I do really like it.
After all I was a bit scared to get it because I didn't want to spend money on a worthless product but wow... Very lovely!
I'm a very huge fan of experimenting with makeup and now I own quite a few new or different colours. Also, this is perfect for the holidays, not only to give away, but also to get it for yourself (like I did, after all I'm a makeup freak!)
It's also great because I love doing makeup on other girls, so now I have a lot more colours that I can use.

Remember the Christmas makeup ideas post I once did? Well, a few sequals are coming and I think I will also use makeup from this kit. Today I'm not going to show a look because I don't have very much time (very hard exam tomorrow but I didn't want to skip the blogging), but I'll try to do it later this week or maybe next week. You'll also see swatches and read reviews then!
PS Do you have a look in mind that you'd like to see? With specific colours? Let me know in the comments if you do!

New In: Rimmel London and Essence

Hello! How are you doing?
So yesterday I went to a couple of stores and one of them sold makeup... You can guess it already: I got something!

I got the last "Kiss Of Life" lipstick by Rimmel London (the Kate Moss collection) and I got something from the new Essence "Fantasia" collection. It's a babypink eyeshadow called "Have you seen my unicorn?"

I'm very glad I got this lipstick. It was on my Christmas wishlist! Also, it was the last red one in the store so I was very very lucky!

How it looks on my lips...

The Essence eyeshadow! A bit shimmery, level 100 of cuteness! They also had a nailpolish colour that looked just like this eyeshadow! I didn't bring it with me...

And this is how it looks! The pigmentation is "okay". It's not "wauw" but it's not bad either. This is one wipe. I will try to make a look with it so that I can show it to you guys.
The colour is very light so it might by hard to take pictures of it, but I'll try!
