Make-up Monday

The "tool kit"

I like writing about make-up. Let's make that I LOVE writing about make-up, therefore I plan on starting a weekly make-up post. YAY!


Skin - today I only used sunscreen, it is getting quite sunny here therefore I use spf 40 every day. I love the one from Clinique, it does not make my skin oily or my pores clogged, one other thing that is a big plus for me is that it does spread out easily and doesn't leave any white marks on the skin! (Amazon - $28.16)

Clinique Sunscreen

Eyes - since last time I had more prominent lips I decided this time to focus more on my eyes.

My eye shadow is from Yves Rocher, it is from the Couleurs Natural section. The colour I chose is number 52 and is called Turqouise Réséda, as you can see on the swatch below it is very light and dreamy. I don't know why I haven't used it more often
(well I do know it was lost in a box and I just found it again). (Yves Rocher - $7.50)

My eyeliner is from L'Oréal Paris, it is from the Contour Kôhl section and the colour is 132 metallic grey. I can't seem to find it on any reliable English webpages but they do sell it on the German amazon   page. (Amazon - EUR 5.49 (around $7))

The mascara (that  I just finished) is from Max Factor, I can say with ease that it is not something I will buy again. The fact is, I am extremely picky with mascaras and this one from Max Factor isn't my cup of tea. It doesn't make my eyelashes shockingly gorgeous so why bother? Anyways, it is the Lash Extension Effect in black. (Amazon - $14.23)

Today I decided to have very calm lips, these days my go-to for simple lips is the Universal Lip Glow from L'Oréal Paris, it is from their Studio Secrets Professional selection and I LOVE IT!! I loved it when I saw a picture and a review of it when it first came out. The problem was it didn't come out so soon in Switzerland. I waited and waited what seemed to be forever after it would hit the stores here and finally right before Christmas it was here! (Boots - £8.49 ($14))

Friday Make Up

Beginning of last year I tried to post one week of different make ups, I didn't succeed. I managed to do it four times. (Monday, Thursday, Tuesday I, Tuesday II ). This time it is different, last year I was tired all of the time and it just was too hard for me. This time around I have energy and am ready to do it! I might even start writing posts with swaps and all that of these things, today there is just how I decided to use my make up.

Today I woke up early and went to meet my friend. I wasn't wearing any make up because I just had gotten up. When I got back I decided that today would be the day I should start taking the pictures. First let's look at the before picture!

I will write down the things that I used in the order I used them (easier for me to remember what I did): 

 Skin - I used a concealer from Max Factor called Erace, the tone I used was number 7 called ivory.  I really do like it and I might even buy that one again when I finish it. 

Eyes -.I am using an eyeliner from M.A.C (same one I used here), it is the Smolder Khôl. It is the same one as I used the last time because I rarely use it and it was kinda lost in my make up box.I am still in love with the Hypnôse Precious Cells mascara from Lancôme and I use it almost every day. I need to buy a new one but I can't decide if I should buy the same one again or buy the Hypnôse Doll Eyes instead. I find it annoying buying the same one again because I love trying new make up.


Lips - I used two things for my lips, a lip liner from Maybelline, it is called COLORsensational and the colour is number 547 Pleasure Me Red. Over that I put on the Universal Lip Glow by L'Oréal to give it a bit shine.

And the end result is taataaaaa:
 


I brushed my hair too! I can't believe that now it has been over a month since I last time used shampoo and conditioner! But more about that later ;)
