Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

Goodmorning everyone. It's been a while since I came back from Madrid and aside from visiting musea and exploring the neighbourhood, I also did some shopping.

For as far as know, there are no Sephora's in Belgium and even though there was one in the Netherlands that I could have gone to, it closed pretty soon. The only option was ordering online, but I prefer buying my make-up in a store.

The first thing I got when I saw they had a Sephora here was the Too Faced Natural Eye palette. This one goes way back. I remember Blair Fowler (aka JuicyStar07) make a video using this palette when she was only 19. The hype is long over, but the palette was still on my "most wanted" list.

The packaging has changed a little bit, but the concept is still thesame. Speaking of packaging, let's take a look!

The packaging excites me so much! It's so pretty and girl, with soft pastel colours and lace print detailling.

When you open up the palette, you get to lay your eyes upon nine stunning, neutral colours. A couple shimmery ones, a couple matt ones.

This palette is so beautiful that in the beginning I was almost a little bit hesitant to use it. I did have to though, how else am I going to get swatches for this blog? Haha! 

Here you go, some swatches: 

Even though the colours could have been a bit more pigmented, they are quite nice in use. The colours are absolutely stunning and looks can very a lot - depending on which colours you use. The balance between warm/cool/light/dark is absolutely amazing! Love it!

I paid €36 for this palette.

All that glitters Christmas look!

Goodmorning everyone! Christmas is coming closer and closer and I've been experimenting with make-up looks. I recently got another glitter eyeliner (so addicted!) and other glitter products. Here's the look I made with it. Reviews are coming up soon!

Let me know what you think!

A Christmas make-up tutorial!

Hello everybody! Welcome back! 

I've got a make-up video for you today! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a snippet already, but finally, here's the full video!

I decided for the first make-up look to go with gold eyeshadow colours and some eyeliner.

Typical, classic Christmas, but so much fun! I used my Urban Decay Naked palette for this look, as well as two Essence liquid eyeliners.

Below, you can watch the video. Let me know what you think of it! 

Thanks for watching!

Essence limited edition glitter eyeliner review!

Goodmorning everyone! How are you?

We're getting so close to Christmas and I couldn't be more excited! A lot of make-up brands are coming out with special Christmas make-up editions in honour of this enormous celebration.

This week I went to the store to get some beauty supplies and like always, I was very distracted by the make-up section. Both Catrice and Essence had cute collections coming out. Today we're talking about the Little X-mas Factory, which is Essence's youngest limited edition collection.

Last year I was looking all over the place for nice coloured liquid eyeliners but I didn't find anything back then. I found a couple glitter eyeliners, but I never used them after the holidays again. This one, I might use until it's actually done being used.

Packaging wise, good job! The white and gold themed packaging has got me feeling extra Christmas-y. It doesn't only draw attention, it's also a nice break from the oldschool green or red. 

 

Here's a swatch of what the liquid eyeliner looks like. I must admit that I'm a bit surprised because this is the first "drugstore" gold eyeliner I've found that has good pigmentation.
It doesn't only look good, it also applies like a dream and stays on all night. This eyeliner sounds like a too good to be true product, but I've got to be honest, it's just a really good product. Although that shouldn't be a surprise, I've used the regular Essence eyeliner since I was about thirtheen so I knew they were good!
I've got a make-up tutorial using this eyeliner coming up soon, you might want to keep your eyes open for that!

Thanks for reading, I hope to see you soon!
