Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 First Impressions
If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I have stated that I would refrain from makeup purchases for half a year! I have been doing really well. I enjoy using the products I already have, or I have only bought what I was running out of, or that I found on a very good deal. However, all holidays makeup collections are out, and I thought I should treat myself a palette of powders from Hourglass. Hello, Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4! I have been wanting to get one of these palettes they do every Christmas. In fact, I wanted to try their classic Ambient Lighting palette, but I…

My Brow Technique for Natural Brows
As a nineties kid, I grew up in the small, thin eyebrow trend. Luckily, I didn’t pluck my whole eyebrows off, however, I still wish I had been a little more “frugal”! Yes, let’s put it that way, haha! I like my eyebrows, but there are a few points where they are more sparse. There is not a huge need to fill them in, but I do like them more when I give them the proper attention. However, filling them in with a pencil takes a bit of time if you want to make them look natural. So, what do you do when you are in a hurry and still…

The Colourful Mascaras Edit
With so many colourful eyeshadows, various textures and formulas, we often forget how to spice up our makeup in well known but forgotten ways. Using colourful mascaras is not only an easy and quick way, but also an original one. We have been so used to trying various tones of eyeshadows and lipsticks, that we have forgotten the colours in other makeup products such as mascaras and eyeliners. But why are they a fab way to add colour to your makeup? Swiftness The 3-minute makeup challenge for me consists of applying my concealer in the areas I need it and then mascara. Why not use a colourful one? Within…

The perfect red lipstick for summer: Lancôme Idole
I love lipsticks and of course the classic red lipstick. However, there is something about red lipstick during summer months that prevents me from wearing it. Is it the fact that I have them associated with Christmas and cold weather? Is it that my face gets red because of the heat and I don’t want to look like a tomato? If you have the same concerns as me, I hope that this post will answer your red lipstick summer needs! The solution? L’ Αbsolu rouge matte lipstick by Lancôme, in 186 Idole. The colour The colour is a stunning! Who would expect otherwise, since it was created by the…
