The Christmas Advent Challenge Week 4: My Very Sparkling Christmas Look



Good morning beauties! It's -3 days to Christmas and things are getting heated! Christmas parties with friends and colleagues are over and the real deal is coming up!!! For the fourth and last week of The Christmas Advent Challenge the girls over at What's In My Bag and Consigli di Makeup challenge us to share our very sparkling Christmas Look. You can read the other posts for this challenge on The Perfect Red and Love, Hate and Wish products and my own Christmas Mood.





This look I wore at a work Christmas party with dinner and clubbing and therefore I wanted some drama but not too much craziness. The result is a gold and brown eye look, using my favorite gold shadow of all times - Urban Decay Half Baked - and a new gold glitter liner from Kiko that i saw on Lisa Eldrige's gift guide. I was wearing a new purple dress so I wanted to recall that color on my lips with the gorgeous MAC Rebel lipstick.

I apologize for the lighting in the pictures, but of course daylight hours in this time of the year are really too few. Here are all the products I used:

Face:
  • Kiko Mat Base Primer
  • Kiko Unlimited Foundation in WB30
  • Bourjois Healthy Balance powder
  • Kiko Golden Game Sculpting Bronzer
  • NYX Powder Blush in Blushing Rose

 Eyes:
  • E.l.f. Cosmetics Eyelid Primer
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo in Eternal Gold
  • Lorac Pro 2 Lt. Brown as transition shade
  • Urban Decay Naked 2 Half Baked on the lid, Snakebite in the crease
  • Lorac Pro 2 Cocoa in the outer V and the lower lash line
  • Kiko Hypnotic Gaze gold eyeliner in the inner corner (AMAZING!!!)
  • Maybelline Master Drama eyeliner in brown
  • Lancome Hypnose and L'Oreal Telescopic waterproof mascaras

 Brows and lips:
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
  • Kiko Automatic Precision Lip Liner in 511 Dark Magenta
  • MAC Cosmetics Rebel lipstick
This eye look can honestly go with any lip color and I would definitely use a red if I have a different outfit. I think I will wear something very similar for Christmas, minus the bold lip since I don't want to scare the in-laws and stain their napkins. 

I hope you like the look, let me know what you think below!

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

Image
 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

Office Decoration Inspiration

Source | Source | Source | Source When I mentioned in my last post that we found a new house and that we're moving at the beginning of February I got so many enthusiastic replies that I thought I'd share my ideas of how my beauty room will look like. Ever since we visited the house and received the floor plans I have been stalking Pinterest to find inspiration to furnish and decorate the rooms. The idea is for this house to be our intermediate stage while both of us finish our academic paths and find a "real job" and decide where to go live and buy our first home. Therefore we don't want to go all out with a serious furniture investment and keep it affordable and simple by going to Ikea to get the furniture that we're missing. So I though to share with you guys here my ideas to have a functional and pretty beauty room where I can do my makeup, write my blog posts and take pictures. Most importantly I want the room to be filled with sources of inspira

Colourpop pressed eyeshadows – Swatches and comparisons with Makeup Geek

Originally posted on 28 Feb 2017 Single pan pressed eyeshadows are my weakness, I collect them, I love them. Now that I’ve said that, you won’t be surprised that I’m coming to you with a review and swatches of the new Colourpop pressed shadows . Colourpop launched over 30 new pressed eyeshadows in January promoting it as their biggest launch yet. I picked up quite a few in the meantime and have been using them non stop, so here I thought it was about time to talk to you about them.  The first launch consisted of around 30 pressed shadows and the pre-made palettes. I have filmed both a first impression get ready with me ( here ), as well as a more in depth review and swatch video ( here ) on the 12 shadows that I picked up from that round. Of course, in typical Colourpop style, there have been two other launches since, one of the Valentine’s Day Collection (10 shades, swatches and review here ), and another on Valentine’s Day itself, consisting of another 10 shades in beautiful tones of
