Siberian Purple FOTD n 1

Just wanted to post a look I did using the new KIKO Make-up Milano palette, from the Siberian Flowers LE collection.
The palette I have used is called Siberian Purple, and it is - as its name suggests - a palette composed of 5 purple eyeshadows (actually 4 plus a glittery black).

Of course, as usual purples are really hard to photograph, so this isn't an accurate reproduction of what I saw in real life, but you get a drift.

I have used:
all of the four purples in the KIKO Siberian Purple palette,
the Shiseido cream liner,
the KIKO Luxurious lashes mascara (which you can't see here due to the pose, but is a GREAT mascara *review to come*)
the KIKO Double Glam eyeliner (the glittery vibrant purple end, just on the lower lashline).
Madina Luxe Eyeliner in nude,

I will post more looks using this palette, and a full review on that because it truly deserves it!


*disclaimer: KIKO Siberian Purple palette and Luxurious Lashes were provided by PR for reviewing consideration.

Teal eyes, orange lips look

I went out last night and I was wearing a teal dress, so I thought why not mix teal on my eyes with orange on my lips?
It's so summery and makes me think of a more classy version of the 80's makeup ;)

As per usual, my face has been bleached out by the camera flash. Thank you, light reflectant foundation! One day I will get someone else to shoot pics for me, because I've noticed that the farther you get, the more realistic the skin tone is. In real life, I am waaaaaaaaaaaaay more tanned. And I am darker than that even without a tan (I have a yellow undertone!)


Products used:

FACE:
Layla Hydrotint foundation in 5*
Madina Milano Gel Bronzer
Laura Geller blush in Honey Dipped
Illamasqua Powdered Metal in Thalia* as my highlighter (can't really tell in these pics :S)

EYES
KIKO Coloursphere Mat&Pearly in 211 (the teal shade)*
Urban Decay Flipside
Shiseido Gel Liner
Collection 2000 liquid liner
Layla Lashes in 4*
a Clarins light peachy e/s as my highlighter

LIPS
Cargo The Reverse Lipliner*
KIKO Red Emotion Lipstick in 203 Cheerful Orange*
Ellis Faas Glazed Lips lipgloss in L 304*

I will take pics of the orange lipstick and lipgloss in day light, because they are so lovely!!!

simple eotd

Products used:
e.l.f. eye primer
Mabelline Expertwear Duo in 10 - Cashmere brown
Shiseido Accentuating cream liner
Rimmel Exaggerate waterproof eyeliner in 250 - Emerald sparkle
Corolle Pastel pour les yeux (a jumbo pencil) in Luce oro on the inner corner (eventhough it's too subtle on the photo...weird)
Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara in Black.

I am loving the eye primer...I hadn't used the Mabelline duo in ages because it was very very subtle. Now I can take out all those nice pigments, and it looks gorgeous. It hasn't creased or smudged all day long!

eotn with Sleek and Shiseido, and ootn

Last night I went out with my boyfriend, and I opted for a green and black checked Primark puffball dress and green ballerina shoes, so I decided do a green eye look for the night.
I really didn't put a lot of effort in it, due to the lack of time.
Anyway, the products I used are photographed above:
From the Sleek Acid palette I used the colors that are indicated by the little arrows;
I used the Shiseido cream liner (with its cute little brush);
Black eyeliner on the waterline;
Pupa Diva's Lashes mascara;
and this is not photographed, I forgot, but I used a Lancaster blush.

Close-up of the look. Yes, I couldn't blend the colors, cos my boyfriend was already outside my house waiting...
:( But at least you can see how cute that green is.

I also used this discontinued cream bronzer/highlighting cream from Pupa,
called "Lumiante" on my cheekbones (just above my blush) and on my nose, to get a glowing skin finish.
It's a shame they don't make this anymore, it was so much of a great product.
The last picture in the collage is a close up of the earrings my auntie gave me as a present.
I love how the silver ball has flowers all over it. Cute, aren't them?


Hope you enjoyed this, I wish I'll have more time to do a proper look next time...with proper blending and all...
xoxo,
Lyd

August make-up shopping

How many posts I've posted today? eheh...don't worry, I'm soon off to the beach :)
Just wanted to share some makeup love with you, showing the things I've bought this morning when I shopped for the prizes for my giveaway...
So I got...the Johnson's cleansing wipes 3 in 1. The best wipes ever! I've tried several, but these are the best so far. You don't need to spend big money on wipes, these are wonderful! They clean all the makeup off of your face, but also moisturize it! That's right, you heard it... it is true! They give you this wonderful clean and fresh sensation, leave your skin soft and I think they unclog your pores too! I don't know, I just feel awesome when I use them!

Then I've got a Debby (it's actually a girls' range from Deborah) nail polish in 26, which is a very cute deep red, and a Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish in a lovely rose-nude color called "Rose Libertine" (more appropriate for the summer)...The Debby polish only cost me €2,50 , and it is a pretty good product for that price!

The most expensive thing I've got is the Shiseido cream (or gel if you want) liner. It costs more then 26€, good lord, it better be good! I really wanted to try out a cream liner, they're not so popular in this country.
I'm gonna review it as soon as I get the chance to try it, and maybe also the hang of how to apply it properly. It comes with a very very pretty and awesome mini angled brush, which has a cap - so at least I know the quality of the product is top notch (of course, it's Shiseido). Now it's only up to me to learn how to apply it.

So anyways, I'm off to eat lunch and get ready to go to the beach.
That's enough posting for today, but please comment me, comment my looks, and enter the giveaway, the prizes are amazing!!!

Have a jolly good day you all,
Lyd
