My Favourite Autumn Eye Shadows

You probably know that I am not much of an eyeshadow person when it comes to everyday make-up.
However, autumn made me feel like I need to wear more make-up to add some colour to the grey, blurry days.

So I actually started using eyeshadow pretty often now, even though it takes me such a long time to get ready in the mornings.

I got to love my Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette,and also the Maybelline New York Eyestudio Intense Chic Palette in 01 Vivid Pinks. Apart from powder shadows, I also spoke about my Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Sticks (Sand Dune & Violet Plum) in my latest make-up video, as well as my September Favourites.

First of all I need to say that their packagings already look so nice and they are just exactly what I need. No unnecessary shades that I would ignore because I wouldn't like them. 
I love that both palettes are created the way that they already have all shadows needed to create a lot of different looks without having to use other additional shadows. Which also makes them very practical for traveling.
The Naked On The Run palette has two matte shadows and three very shimmery ones, plus a base shadow, which can also be used as a highlighter.
The shadows are called: Dive, Fix, Resist, Dare, Stun and 5050( the big light shade).
I love using the first two and the last one together for example, or I use the Bobbi Brown stick in the beige shade called Sand Dune and then add the first and last shade on top. There's just so many possible options.

Also, using the Maybelline palette, which consists of light pink to purple shadows, I like to use the purple Bobbi Brown stick as well,  to line my eyes or to add a darker colour to the crease or outer corners of the eyes when trying to attempt a kind of smokey eye.

Having those two little palettes, plus the two shadow sticks I feel like I'm pretty much prepared for Autumn make-up looks.

What do you think about the colours? Aren't they just pretty??

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
