My Autumn Look - MAC Products


Hello everyone!


Today I want to share with you my actual autumn look which I'm wearing quite often:


Guide:
-> I applied my Artdeco Eyeshadow Base (this Base is absolutely amazing!!!)
1. Applied the white colour of the Helena Rubenstein 07 Lucky Gold Palette (http://www.perfumezilla.com/helena-rubinstein/helena-rubinstein-wanted-eyes-lucky-gold6219.php)
2. MAC's Woodwinked all over the lid
3. MAC's Satin Taupe in the crease and down the lid in the typical V-shape
4. MAC's Smut in the very outer part of your eye, really close to the lash line
-> and blend everything really well!
-> apply a brown eyeliner really close to the upper lashline
-> curl your lashes and apply lots of mascara


For the lips I used a sheer raspberry lipgloss like the Lancôme Color Fever Gloss No. 321 Dangerously Pink.(http://www.lancome.de/_de/_de/make-up/lippen-make-up/gloss/color-fever-gloss-206012.aspx)


 I hope this was an inspiration for you! Have a wonderful day!

5 Ways To Get In Autumn/Fall Mood




Autumn is my absolute favourite season.

Some people say that this season has something nostalgia, but I just love the mixture of the weather between cold and still warm, I love the beautiful orange, red and yellow colour all around, in fact, I love everything in the autumn.
But how to get in autumn mood when we have a really tough time full of stress or studying or we have to stay at home? These 5 really easy and cheap methods should bring the autumn feeling to you:
1. Light a spicy scented candle
Light an aromatic candle with an scent which reminds you of autumn like pumpkin, fir, cinnamon, baked apple, etc.. I love to light an baked apple candle and read a book and then my world is perfect :)
You can buy some expensive one here or here and my absolute favourite and very cheap one are from IKEA! Just click here!


2. Drink a spicy drink (tea)
I love to drink tea when it's getting colder outside, especially a Chia Tea suits perfectly in this season.
If you don't like Chia Tea than I can recommend a tea with typical christmas spices. If you don't like to drink tea, then what about a Chai Tea Latte? ;)

3. Use red, berry and brown lipsticks and eyeshadows
Why shouldn't we transform our appearance in a more autumn look? I think when it's getting colder outside then a darker eye makeup looks so much better than in the summer. Hence, I use my brown, slightly reddish eyeshadows and my red and berry lipsticks (they don't have to be intense) and they transform your appearance in a autumn look!

4. Wear your favourite boots and skirt&dresses with tights
No, I don't mean this huge winter boots, I rather think about thin leather riding boots you suit perfectly to every single outfit! Additionally, the boots keep your feet warm in this slightly cold weather! Also, there is no better way than to combine summer with winter by wearing your favourite skirts and dresses with tights. So, you don't have to miss your summer dresses, but it is still warm :)


5. Decorate your room!
The last but very important thing is to decorate your room in an autumn way. Just pick a few red, orange and yellow leaves from your latest walk. Collect a few chestnuts and decorate everything in your room. Also, there are sometimes some really nice decoration ideas in some stores. I have a fake bouquet of flowers with an fake flowerpot. Combined with the candles, you're room will be an "autumn land".

I hope these tips were useful & leave me a comment!!

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - Review + Pictures


Hey Beauties!

This is a review of the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in no. 07 Plum.

Cream Blusher in general:
Before I am going to talk about the product, I want to explain a bit about a cream blush in general. Well, a normal blush is like a normal eyeshadow, where the pigments are pressed in a pot. A cream blush is nearly the seem like a cream eyeshadow. Mixed with water, some thickeners and other additives, this products has a creamy texture. The good thing about this is that you can blend it much easier into your skin and that makes your whole appearance more natural. Of course there are also some disadvantages. Some cream blusher will be kind of absorbed by the skin. The only solution for that is to top the blusher with a translucent powder.

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - General information
The product costs 6,45€. Maybelline promises:
"Cream blush feels satin-soft on skin, glides on smoothly, and blends easily for seamless color and a natural finish. Long-wearing formula provides luminous, long-lasting color on cheeks without clogging pores"
And here the guide how to apply it:
"With your fingertips, pat a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use feathery strokes to blend gently from your cheekbones to your temples. To build color intensity, apply more blush."
Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - The consistency:
Although it is a cream blusher, the product in the pot is not extremely creamy, which I really like. Therefore, you are forced to put your finger just over the surface of the product and not to stick it into the whole pot. The consistency on the fingers resp. on the cheeks is also a mixture of creamy and solid.

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - The colour
Before blending the product the colour looks really intense and more like a strong pink. However, after blending the products, the colour turns out to be a really nice softly pink colour. In total, it looks like a softly, natural healthy touch! Hence, it is really hard to over blush!

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - Long-lasting?
Yes, it is! I think, it wouldn't survive a really hard workout or a long walk through the rain :D, but when I apply it in the morning, I can still see it slightly in the evening!

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush - Recommendation?
Definitely! Since I purchased this product, I never want to come back to "normal blushes". Before I have used this product, I didn't really like blushes, because I've always thought it looks over blushed, even the tiniest amount. Now, I really like to wear blush, because it just makes me look healthy! So, I can absolutely recommend this product!!!

I hope you enjoyed reading! Tell me what you think about cream blushes??

Blush on my cheeks:

Love & xx
