The Base Of My Face

After a long time of trying out different powders, bronzer and concealer I think I finally found the kind of perfect base make-up for my skin. I'm not saying that it couldn't be better, but I am quite happy with the effect.

This is basically my make-up routine, without the eye make-up obviously.

The first step is concealer- I use the lightest shade of the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and am quite happy with it, even though it still doesn't cover my under eye circles completely. I also use it on all the spots and my nose.
The second step is powder - I use the Bourjois Healthy balance one in the shade 53 and am in love with it! I actually hit the den already some time ago and need to make sure I get a new one soon. It gives my skin a nice colour and my pale skin looks better immediately.
After that I use my Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer in the shade 52, to define my cheek bones and then swipe it lightly all over my face. 
Once bronzing is done I take the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Duo in the shade 55, and use the highlighter to highlight my cheek bones, brow bones and the inner corners of my eyes.
And the last step is adding a little bit of the wet'n'wild blush in the shade Pearlescent Pink, onto my cheeks to give my face some proper colour.

These are the brushes I use for the base
1) Real Techniques Contour brush - I use it for highlighting my cheek bones.
2) Real Techniques Buffing brush - I use it for the blush.
3) EcoTOOLS Tapered brush - I use it for my powder and then the bronzer.
4) Real Techniques Flat Foundation brush - I use it for the concealer.
5) EcoTOOLS Full Eye Shadow brush - I use it to highlight the brow bones and inner corners of my eyes, when I use eye shadow I also use it for the proper purpose.

And this is how I do the base of my face make-up :)

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

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,

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
