FOTD - Easy & Quick products ft. Kiko eyeshadow stick & Clinique Chubby Stick

Hi Everyone :) 

I really enjoy dark berry lips with smokey eyes but let's be honest, it takes a bit of time. I think during the colder months, bold brows, smokey eyes with lots of mascara, flawless base and a dark lip is just perfect. However it takes a little longer til put all this makeup on my face. I found few products that are quick and easy to use and give that 'pull together' look within minutes. 

I used the Chanel Perfection Lumére Velvet Foundation and the Nars Raidiance Creamy Concealer for a good and natural coverage. I have been enjoying the Chanel foundation alot recently, I should definitely do a little post about it.

For bold brows I used the Rimmel Brow This Way, wax and powder duo. I am really liking this so far. It is in the shade Medium brown, it is a little to dark for me but I could not find a lighter shade in the store. I think bolder and darker brows are great for autumn/winter. This brow duo is good, I prefer a pencil to be honest but with the right tools this is great. 

I always have to use a eyeshadow primer and today I used the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. 

The quick fix for eyeshadow is the shadow stick. I used KIKO Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick in number 38 Golden Taupe. In my last post I spoke about a different KIKO shadow stick. They are just so easy to blend out and last all day!

I used a L'Oréal Color Riche L'Ombre Pure Eyeshadow in my inner corner as a highlighter. I don't have the name of the color in front of  me right now but like I said in my last post, you should be expecting a post with all the shadows I have :)

I used the MAC eyeliner on the waterline to make it a little darker and then applied loads of mascara. 

The mascara I am using is the Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof. I was going to do a separate post on this mascara because last year I was obsessed over another Dior mascara so I decided to try this one out. It is rubbish, for the price, no good. It crumbles down all over my face and just looks bad. It does not hold curl at all like most waterproof mascaras. It does not apply nicely and just don't bother buying this! (haha I just had to be brutally honest here!)

Anyway...

The second quick fix product is the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense moisturising lip color balm (omg long name) in 09 Roundest Raspberry. It is a beautiful raspberry shade that is so flattering.

I used the Benefit Christmas Set for my cheeks (Hoola bronzer and Dandelion blush) You can find a little review and pictures about that here.

The two products that really make the look are the KIKO eyeshadow stick and the Clinique Chubby Stick. Both these products are quick, easy and very convenience for everyday use. I just apply the KIKO stick and blend it out with my fingers. The lipstick is very winter appropriated and since it is a chubby stick it goes on really easily. the shade is such a beautiful raspberry color. I love both products and the KIKO shadow is called Golden Taupe on the website. It is a taupe shade with gold shimmer, the shimmer is not super obvious but it does give it a great dimension. 

What are your favorite easy and quick products?

February Favorites 2014

Hi Everyone, I don't know what is wrong with me but I have had this post written and pictures taken but somehow I did not manage to post it!

Just ignore the title of the post haha! I will just make a little short post about my February favorites.

But February was long for me, my boyfriend moved back to London so now I am in a long distance relationship that is major change. I was feeling a bit under the weather all through Febuary, I hope March will be much better and in a few days I will be heading myself to London, so excited!

Let's start with the e.l.f Warm Bronzer, this has been on my face non stop since I got it. I either use it as a bronzer to warm up my face or just as my blush but then just using the shades on the right. I think that all the colors are beautiful and last all day on my cheeks.

Same favorite since last month, the Maybelline Falsies Mascara. I did manage to use it this month but to be honest it is getting very dry and I think I will buy it again because it is that good!

I used MAC Soft Ochre almost every day either as a base or just all over the eyelid to cancel out how dark they are. 

And again, I have been loving the Max Factor Facefinity Foundation, I just love how easy it is to use it and the coverage is just amazing. I did do a first impression if you want to see it here. 

For my eyes I used the Clinique Chubby Stick for eyes in Lavish Lilac regularly. It is just so easy to make a daytime smokey look or as a base for a night time look. 

They two eyeliners I have been loving are the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeline in Stingray (black) and Lionfish (bronze). I used the black on my upper and bottom waterline and then lined the top lash line with the bronze shade. They are so creamy, opaque and waterproof. I have already photograph them separately for a post that is coming soon.

Well thats that!

I am going to write another post now and hopefully I will post it soon :D

Btw.. Am I the only one that is the queen of pushing things back? 

Thanks for reading :D

Products of the day - Minimal makeup

Hi Everyone :)

Today I was woken up too early by builders! 

I did not have a busy day but needed to go and get my eyebrows done and find white shirt to start my new job! So I did not want to put too much makeup on today and I wanted 'no makeup' face for today.

These are all the products I used for my whole face :)

Face : Garnier BB Cream (Reveiw coming soon)

Garnier under eye tinted roll (more about that in this post)

Stay matte Powder from Rimmel (more about that amazing powder soon)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain in 015 Cheris Devotion - LOVE IT

I am going tomorrow to pick up one more shade :) and I will keep you updated on how much I love these. 

Eyes are just basic, this is a Clinique mascara, small tube that I have. 

And my MAC eyelash curler

To add a bit of life in my face I just dusted tiny bit of Dallas from Benefit Blush on my cheeks.

I only used the big powder brush from Real Techniques and a small random angel brush for my blush.

Well I did take a photo of myself but it really was not in focus and writing this now I have taken my makeup off! haha

Anyway, just a post of the products I use to get a very natural minimal makeup :)
