2B glitter eyeliner review

Last December I had a day off from work and I was looking up Christmas and New Year's Eve make-up tutorials online.
It was so warm outside, the sun was shining and I just didn't feel in the Christmas spirit because of that. However, I thought that make-up looks could probably turn my mood around.

I did indeed find a few amazing make-up tutorials (those YouTubers really are the best!), and most of them included glitter eyeliner. My next problem occured! Even though I'm a huge make-up and beauty fan, I don't have any glitter liner! 

 

I went out to the drugstore and looked for glitter eyeliner, but I couldn't find ANYTHING. Just when I was about to give up, my eye caught the make-up section of 2B. Yes, they did have glitter eyeliner! They had gold, dark blue, black/silver, and I believe purple too. Even though I was looking for gold, I also bought the blue glittery eyeliner.

 

Here are two swatches! 
I think the gold is maybe a little bit too yellow, but it's not that big of a deal.

 

I love how this eyeliner looks and of course I wore it on New Year's Eve! I do have two remarks about this eyeliner. You have to put quite some time into getting this glitter eyeliner to show up very well on your eyelids. It takes a couple of different strokes to get it on there. 
The second thing that bothers me a little is that this eyeliner burns a little when you first apply it.
Aside from those two things, I have no complaints.

Below is a very basic look using three eyeliners: my regular black one, and my two glittery ones.

2B blue mascara review

Hello!
Coloured mascara started trending again so today I want to talk to you about the newest blue mascara that I got. I recently got a new one from 2B, which is a nice, budgetproof brand that's available in the drugstore. 2B has lots of colours in their assortment: they have green, blue, purple, orange (...). I was doubting a little bit but I decided to go for blue because it was the one I wanted the most ànd I thought it would look good on my blue eyes.

 

First, I want to show you the "before" pictures. No makeup on my eyes at all! I'd like to show you how the mascara looks in combination with eyeshadow, but I'll do it later. I'm scared that you won't see the results as well if I've put on eyeshadow already in this post.


And this is how my eyes look after two coats of "mega grey blue" mascara by 2B...


I don't have the feeling I get much volume from this mascara but they do make my lashes longer. You have to be careful with clumbs! Overall the mascara is a "good" mascara, but it's not surprisingly good, it doesn't have that "wow" effect that I'm looking for (but it's not horrible either). The only "special" thing about it is the colour. I will continue using this, I love the colour and the length of my lashes when I use this!


Are you loving coloured mascara or do you stay with the neutrals like brown and black?

2B bronzer review

Hello! How are you doing? Last week I went shopping and I got this 2B bronzer on sale. I don't have a lot of beauty products from 2B but I thought I could at least try and see if I liked it. I don't use bronzer very often, in fact, I haven't used it more than twice or more than three times in the past! Then why now? 

First of all, it wasn't a huge amount of money, really. Second of all, sales are a great place to build up your collection and buy everything you don't have yet. You never know when you'll need it!


Like I said, this "Terra Compact" bronzer is by 2B, which is a quite inexpensive brand. I think I once bought a nailpolish from this brand but I don't have it anymore now.
The packaging of this bronzer is quite simple. It's in a plastic pan with an orange bottom. A lot of their makeup products (like eyeshadow) are packed like this! I do think it looks a little bit cheap.


The bronzer has a little sun figure pressed into it. I think it's cute. It will fade after a while, but oh well. I always like it when a product has a cute print or design.



Swatch! I did get a few "crumbles" while swatching but they're minimal so it's okay. The colour looks quite light on my wrist because I've been tanning a little bit lately but my face is still pretty pale so it's more visible. Not too dark, not too light, just perfect!
Oh, and if you're wondering why I haven't mentioned the colour, it's because this bronzer doesn't have a name, pity! It's the lightest one of them all though.


Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day! Stay safe!

Little beauty products haul!

Hello all of you! 
Yesterday I did some pre-birthday shopping. It was lovely, I had a great time! These days there's a lot of sales in a lot of shops and I got so many new clothes, I don't even know which item I should wear first! Of course you'll be seeing that in outfit of the day pictures! There are too many items to photograph all of them and put them online (and I can't put them all in one picture like I do with my beauty items). Since beauty items are easy to photograph (and you can put a lot of beauty items in one photograph), I though I'd show you what makeup I got today.


I haven't bought an awful amount of stuff, but I did get a lot of things that I loved and have been fawning over for quite a while.

First of all I got two Catrice intensif' eye wet & dry shadows. These won't be in the stores for much longer (they're going out of the permanent collection) and so I took the chance to get these before it was too late.

Next I got a 2B bronzer, which I'm very excited about, however, I'm probably more excited about my three new lipsticks! I got one from Kate Moss by Rimmel London in "107", which is a darker, berry kind of colour. I've wanted this for quite a while now and it was the last one so I was lucky!

Next I got two lipsticks by Bourjois. One from the Shine collection (first one in the picture) and one from the Rouge edition. They are stunning, wauw! I wish I could have bought more (but I promised myself not to buy too much so, haha!).

The first colour in the picture is called "Famous Fushia", it's a gorgeous, bright pink. The Rouge Edition lipstick is called "Violine Strass". I think it looks a little bit like the one that I got from Kate Moss by Rimmel London. Maybe it's has more of a purple tone to it.

And then I got some new nailpolish. I haven't been doing my nails a lot recently but I missed it! I got two Essence colours, a pastel purple and a glittery topcoat. They fit very nicely together!
