EOTD: Glitter Dust

Goodmorning eveyone! I'm back with an extra sparkly eye of the day.

H&M has had crazy make-up sales and I have taken advantage of it. I think I got all the coloyrs of their mono eyeshadows. I also got their glitter dust, which is so absolutely gorgeous and sparkly.

That's what today's make-up look is about!

I made the look extra smokey by applying eyeliner on upper lashline and lower waterline.

EOTD: Post #1000!

Goodevening everyone! How have you been doing?

I am so happy to announce that today, I'm writing post number 1000 on this blog! I have spent so much time on this blog and I have learned so much, but the most important thing is that my passion has continued to grow- and still grows every single day.

Also, not to sound too lame, but I also want to thank those of you who read my blog on a daily basis.

This look is created with the I heart Make-Up Dark Chocolate palette. You can click here to read the review on that palette. 

I went for a smokey eye withour a winged eyeliner but with a subtle eyeshadow liner. The eyeshadow shades are red/purple - a bit tricky, but lovely when the look is finished.

Thanks again for reading! I hope to still welcome you on the blog when I'm writing my 2000th post.
Have a really great day!

Manicure Monday: Olive

Goodmorning and welcome to Manicure Monday! 

Olive green has become a colour I really like. A couple of my friends have had olive green manicures before and I always think they are so beautiful, but I never had an olive manicure myself.

Last week, all the beauty products in H&M went on sale and I found two gorgeous nailpolishes: one olive green and one clear with gold flakes. Time for an olive green manicure!

"Flake it" and "Olive Grove"

Two layers of this nailpolish covers everything. So smooth and pretty. The colour is really nice as well, as an extra detail, I applied some of the gold flakes on my ring finger. Subtle but a nice detail.

Have a happy Monday!

EOTD: Phoenix

Goodmorning everyone!
About two months ago I got two palettes by Make-up Revolution and a lot of the looks I have been creating lately, have been created with these two palettes.

For today's look I decided to use my Flawless 2 palette. I have been crazy about the orange, pink and cranberry tones in this palette. I decided to create a phoenix inspired look using the brightest colours in this palette.

I used an orange eyeshadow in the crease and blended that out. Next, I used the two brightest, cranberry pink eyeshadows in my crease.  This way my crease pops more and the look becomes even brighter. I darkened up the outer corner by using a brown eyeshadow with a red undertone. This gives the look more depth. You can make this as intense as you want, I decided not to go too overboard with the darkest eyeshadow.

The blending of the colours is very important with this look. If you find your eyeshadows are difficult to blend, I recommend picking up a flesh coloured eyeshadow to help blend out the harsh lines. After blending, you will notice the eyeshadows are like an ombre, they fade into each other very nicely.

On  my lid I used two colours: a bright gold eyeshadow in the inner corner and a shimmery copper on the outer corner. At this point you can blend some of the darker eyeshadow into the outer corner of the lid. By doing this you create a "V" shape, which will make the eyeshadow look more put together. 

Next I grabbed a pencil brush and applied gold, copper and some brown on my lower lashline, then blended it out. 

Because red shades can make you look really sick, I made sure to apply enough eyeliner. The black eyeliner will neutralize some of the red. I applied eyeliner on both upper lashline and lower waterline.

Some mascara, and done!

 

I hope you enjoyed this look! 

Thanks a lot for reading and have a good one! 

EOTD: Universe

Last week I got new "glitter dust" by H&M. I already had some gold glitter dust and since I am so crazy about them, I've been wanting to get more.
A few days ago I found some colours I liked - and they were on sale as well! I got a silver one, a white one and a black with blue one - all for €3 a piece.

I love glitter. It comes in handy for special occassions like birthdays and New Year's celebrations, but it's also a fun to wear on a daily basis. You get to create a fun make-up look and the sparkly just makes it that extra bit special.

This look that I made today doesn't just have glitter dust, it also has a bright eyeliner and some black eyeshadow. Easier than you'd think and great to steal the show on a night out!
Oh, and when you look up, you might notice that the sky above you looks just like the make-up you have on your eyes.
Let's have a look!

I applied two shades of brown in my crease first and blended them out. Next I applied black eyeshadow all over my eyelid and just a tiny bit of glitter glue on top of that before applying the glitter dust. 

I also put on black eyeliner, to put blue eyeliner on top of that later (it just shows up better when there's a base already). Some kohl liner on the waterline, mascara and done!

 

Not your everyday kind of look. It is a bit of a dramatic look, but it sure is fun. Below you can find two full face pictures!

Thank you again for reading today! Have a good one!
