Modern Pinup Makeup Look for the Holidays


This eye look is one of my staple looks for those occasions in which I want to look put together and pretty, like family occasions and work dinners, but is kept interesting by a bright pop of color on the lips! I will probably be wearing version of this look for all the family functions coming up in the holiday season. The key to this look is fresh looking skin, a highlight in the inner corner, bright lips and the unmissable winged liner.

  • Kiko Golden Game Sculpting Bronzer and Highlighter to contour and highlight
  • The Body Shop Brush on Bronze to warm up the complexion and give a healthy glow
  • GOSH Natural Touch Cream Blusher in 005 Lusty Pink 


Eyes:
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo 45 Infinite White as base on the lid
  • Makeup Geek Creme Brulee eyeshadow in the crease
  • Urban Decay Verve on the lid ans YDK on the lower lash line. both from the Naked 2 palette
  • Inglot AMG Gel Liner n.77 for the wing
  • Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black
  • Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara as first coat for separation and volume
  • L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof mascara as second coat for length and waterproof power


Lips and Brows:
  • L'Oreal Color Riche Collection Exclusive Julianne's Pure Red

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

Originally posted on 28 Feb 2017 Single pan pressed eyeshadows are my weakness, I collect them, I love them.

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

NYX Tame&Frame is a dupe for Anastasia Bevely Hills DipBrow Pomade? Comparison and swatches

Image
Those brows though! They have been a huge trend for the past few years and Anastasia Beverly Hills has been the undiscussed queen of eyebrows, taking up a huge part of the market and being one of the first to launch innovative products. Among these, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade was incredibly hyped and I was one of those convinced to buy it by all the YouTube and blog reviews. After absolutely loving and using the DipBrow for two years, I finally found something that looked the same and cost way less: the NYX Tame&Frame Tinted Brow Pomade . Today I want to compare these two brow pomades, show you swatches and application, to determine if NYX has actually made a dupe for the Anastasia Dipbrow pomade.
