Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Hello everybody!

Today I want to give you a little review of my latest purchase, the Catrice Absolute Nude Palette, which was just released in February this year. They call this shade 010 All Nude IN THE MOOD FOR NUDE even though there only exists one shade. I was super excited to try out this product, thus, I want to share with you my impression and also some swatches. So if you want to know what I think about the product, then keep on reading!



Price: 4,95€

Catrice promises:

Six nude shades in one palette: subtle sand, delicate beige and brown in various facets. Some matt, some with a shimmer. The soft eye shadow texture with high pigmentation and colour dispersion creates natural-looking eye make-up, yet is also ideal for smokey eye styles in the evening. With a practical double-ended applicator. 

 
Swatches
  • great for everyday, natural eye make-up look
  • travel-size, handy 
  • high-pigmented colours
  • price
  • similar to Urban Decay Basics Palette 



  • a bit powdery
  • no really dark colour -> dramatic or very variable make-up isn't possible
  • not comparable to Urban Decay Naked Palette 


Conclusion

In total, I like this palette very much as I usually use neutral colours and hardly pick out colourful ones. I think, this is a great palette if you don't want to buy a ton of different eyeshadows especially when you are starting with make-up. Also, this little palette might be really handy while traveling, however, the last eyeshadow could be a bit darker so that one could great a nice smokey eye too.

★★★★☆ Stars


So this is my review of the Catrice palette. I hope you found this helpful and tell me whether you have already tested this product or whether it is available in your drugstore? Also, let me know whether you like this little positive and negative arguments as an overview or whether you preferred the written form subdivided into various topics.

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

The Perfect Make up for the Opera

Hello guys!

I hope you are doing well!
I know that going to the opera is not a typical visit or something that especially teenagers or young adults do every weekend, however, I wanted to share with you my make up that I wore while I was going the opera last weekend. Because of my parents, I have the opportunity to go to the opera quiet often, which I also do when I have time. In the opera you want to look sophisticated, elegant without being too sexy, so a dramatic smokey eye isn't appropriate for it. Thus, a winged eye liner look is just perfect for this event.

The Look



In detail:


✯ matte beige eyeshadow all over the eyelid
✯ matt white eyeshadow in the inner corner and under the brow bone
✯ rusty matte brown eyeshadow softly in the crease and along the bottom lash line
✯ black liner from the centre of the upper lid outwards, keep the wing rather small


Close-up
I stayed with matt eyeshadows as I find that they look the most sophisticated. Make sure that the winged liner is not that dominant, it should rather serve to make your lashes appear thicker. I also filled in my eyebrows and used mascara.


I kept my lips as usual pretty nude my wearing the Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 190 The Nuder The Better and applied a clear glittery gloss by Maybelline on top. 


So that's it for today. I hope you liked this little "Make up of the day" and perhaps you want to go to the opera right now just in order to wear the make up :) 
Do you go to the opera several times a year?



Wish you a wonderful day!
Love,

P2 Sunset Boulevard - Review & Swatches

Hello guys!

I hope you are doing well!
Today I want to review a lipstick that I own for a very long time, but never really appreciated it. It is the P2 Pure Color Lipstick - Sunset Boulevard which is a cheap German drugstore brand as this lipstick only costs 1,95€. Anna Saccone mentioned this lipstick in one of her latest favourite videos and I remembered that I own this lipstick too. So I pulled it out of my drawer, started using it properly for the first time and I really liked this lipstick. I can'r really understand why I haven't used it that often.

is originally lighter 

The pure color lipstick provides for intensive colour. Despite its very light formulation, the lipstick is long-lasting and offers an intensive colour-payoff. The optimal acutance prevents the lipstick from creasing on wrinkles at the lips. Hyaluronic acid provides for intensive care.

*Side note: Translated by me. I have no idea what they mean with acutance.*

Swatch - natural light
Swatch - artificial light

  • creamy consistency
  • beautiful pale pink colour; can be worn with and without heavy eye make up
  • don't have to worry about applying
  • price

  • creamy consistency
  • packaging
  • creases on the inner side of the lips


★★★☆☆ Stars


As much as I love the colour and really enjoyed wearing this lipstick with a lot of blush on my cheeks and only mascara on my eyes, the formulation is not the best. I don't mind the creamy consistency, but you have to check yourself in the mirror as the lipstick creases on the inner side of your lips and that looks really disgusting. So, I would prefer a stickier version of this lipstick, however, if you like the colour and don't mind checking yourself a bit more often in the mirror, then you can buy it.
Have you been in Germany and tested one of the P2 products?


Wish you a wonderful day!

Nude Nails - P2 Elegant


Obwohl es Frühling ist, wollte ich ein wenige Nute tragen. Ich hatte mir den P2 Nagellack Elegant vor ungefähr 3 Monaten gekauft und war nach dem ersten Auftragen mit der Farbe überhaupt nicht zufrieden. Ich weiß nicht genau, was ich mir damals von der Farbe erwartetet habe, doch nun nach 3 Monaten Pause finde ich die Farbe einfach nur wunderbar, zeitlos und wie der Name sagt elegant!

Vielleicht ist jetzt meine Haut schon ein wenig gebräunt, daher wirkt die Farbe nun besser. Dennoch ist es wirklich eine richtige Nude-Farbe, die mit der Hautfarbe übergehen.
Der einzige Nachtteil an dem Nagellack ist, dass er trotz Base- und Topcoat sehr schnell vorne abplatzt, dennoch kann man gegen einen Preis von 1,55€ schlecht etwas sagen.

Ich wünsche Euch noch einen wunderschönen Feiertag!

Alles Liebe,
