I'm not usually a girl of pinks, and I honestly can't justify the amount of pink lip liners I own, but in a good way, most of them are drugstore which makes me feel a tad bit better!

I'm trying to get out of the comfort zone, even thou it is a hard thing to do when you love your vampy shades all year around, but still, I can always try!

First official post of 2016 has to come with the most used in 2015 and in this case the products I sure recommend you to try this new year, if you haven't already!

I tried my best to pick one of each category but if I missed something don't mind me as it's quite hard to narrow down the favourites of the year to just 16 products!

Here comes the Fall -uhuh!! As a dark lip lover I couldn't wait more for its time to come, even if I wear plum lips all year long! 

Summer is over and I am struggling to find a good coat for a new winter but apart from all that Halloween is near (who else loves halloween decorations?) and everyone is starting to pull out some vampy shades! To celebrate this new season I decided to bring you a Fall Lip Wardrobe featuring all kinds of vampy shades that I sure love!

With a ever so growing collection of fall lipsticks I sure have some more by this time if you wonder, which will be featured in future posts, but for now here is what I expect to wear during this fall!

Top 3 favourites go to Kiko Unlimited Stylo 12, Maybelline Color Drama 310 and Revlon Colorburst 215, being them all matte and long lasting, easy to apply and maintain throughout the day, even thou they last amazingly well on the first application. 

If you're more about the reds I highly suggest trying the Topshop Beguiled one as it is a very deep and beautiful red with a satin finish. The only thing I don't enjoy much about this lipstick is how time consuming it is. I find it very slippery and need to use a lip liner and lip brush with it even after that it can get messy if not careful. It transfers a lot and requires high maintenance which puts me off wearing it more often! Apart from that the colour is beautiful and it feels comfortable on the lips.

A close dupe in colour to my favourite Kiko 12 is the Rimmel Lasting Finish in 120 Cutting Edge as you can see by the swatches they look identical! In real life the Rimmel one is a tiny bit darker and formula is not comparable in some points! It is highly fragranced so sniff it before buying it if you're sensitive to scents. Rimmel 120 has a satin finish whereas the Kiko one is matte, even thou they both look amazing on the lips! 

I seem to get alike shades all the time and by any means I do it on purpose! The Maybelline Color Drama in 310 comes close to the Revlon Super Lustrous in 477, in photo! If you swatch them together in real life you'll notice the Maybelline one has more purple undertones and is a matte finish while the Revlon has more red to it and is a satin finish! It is a matter of preference in this case but I love both! 

Recently I did a post on matte lipsticks where I talk about the Sleek Fandango Purple and the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms so take a look here if you want to hear more about those! 

Lastly I have the 2 darkest shades of my collection, that I intend to expand, being them Revlon Colorburst in 215 Shameless and Revlon Super Lustrous in 663 Va Va Violet, both from the same family these two purples differ a lot from each other whether it is in finish as the first is a matte and the second a satin, but also in longevity and undertones. Shameless is way more purpl-y pink than Va Va Violet that has more of an aubergine tone to it. I would love this one more if it was matte as the colour takes a bit of time to build up on the lips but still gives a beautiful shade of purple vampy lips for this fall! 

Now that you took a look into my Fall Lip Wardrobe share with me all your favourite Fall shades! 

Thanks for reading,

I sure need to create a post on how I achieve my makeup looks but since I have one talking about my creative process you can find everything you need to know for now in here.

As for the usual part I love me a good forest green shade problem is I always seem to put them aside for no apparent reason. We're right in the middle of summer time where you expect to be wearing all sort of bright colours but we can always find a place for the deep tones! On a night out or an event to match all those Greek Goddesses inspired looks ol' gold is a must!

With my MUA Undress Me Too palette I felt inspired to use the 6th shade of the top row - an old gold colour as I can only describe it! Super intense pigment that contrasts amazingly with that deep green from Sleek Storm palette! On my inner corner I felt the need for some light so Catrice Liquid Metal eyeshadow in 010 made a good point! The lower lash line mimics the top but this time with a Smoky Pencil in 02 by Kiko. As for the waterline my Rimmel Scandaleyes in 005 Nude completed the entire look giving a hint of something without being too much! I think. The mascara I'm using here is the Essence Get Big Lashes Waterproof if you're wondering.

Overall I really like how this look turned out and will for sure wear it a lot this upcoming months!

What do you think? Will you rock some greens or stick to the nudes? 

Some days ago I attended a wedding and it was hot, about 24º degrees which it's pretty much when it takes to my oily face keeping all the makeup on! But well I can tell you after 8 hours it still looked amazing! Not 100% flawless but still pretty good for the conditions!

When I went home I looked in the mirror and took some notes about how it looked and here's my thoughts:

Foundation was almost untouched on my forehead and cheeks yet it had gotten into my fine lines around my nose which is completely normal since I didn't wear a primer nor touched powder. On my mouth and chin area it was almost nothing left since I was always cleaning my mouth, you know when you eat you have to clean all the time. I was looking a bit shiny but not oily at all!

My blemishes were almost the same as when I first covered them so my concealer held up very well! The bronzer was how I like it, not too strong and my highlighter was intact. The blush was also a subtle colour.     

What it takes to my eyes I used a primer and a white base and I checked 5 hours later it was intact but at the 8 hour mark it was starting to crease a bit, nothing that you would notice unless I was with my eyes closed for a long time! My eyeliner was perfect but my waterline colour has faded. 

About the lipstick not going to even bother you! Of course it faded in half an hour of eating and I didn't bother to touch up, it was just unnecessary since I was going to be eating all night long!

The products I used : 

I was definitely impressed with this make up. What's your most long wear product?

Hello beauties!

The other day i was watching some pictures of a fashion show where the pieces were created by Kristine Kosta, a goth pin-up lady that i admire so much!

Actually had the opportunity to talk to her for little seconds on Saturday since she was at the Festival, she's so nice! 

After seing her i decided to create a look inspired on her and one that i would use to one of her next fashion shows!

  

Since fashion shows means lot of glamour i decided to abuse on my waterline highlight and used a glitter eyeliner to do that pop!

As i said before the Lady is in the goth scene (as i am into actually-indirectly) so opted for grey and black eyeshadows.. it reminds me of the subtle yet dark way goth appear!

Appearence.. what you see from the outside means nothing about the inside so don't judge other (a little reminder)

As i often do, i just delined half of my waterline with a black eye pencil and smudge a little bit of black eyeshadow underneath it!

My eyeliner is not that thick in this look but sometimes i prefer to thicken it a bit more!

You can always add some fancy false lashes if you're confortable with it ;) 

So to create this look i used:

Eyebrows - Essence Brow kit

Eyes:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil 604 Milk

Catrice  Absolute Eye Colour Mono 270 Grey's Philosophy

Catrice  Absolute Eye Colour Mono 280 Heidi Plum

Kiko Makeup Milano Eyeshadow 180 Mat Coal Black

Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof eyeliner - Black

Essence crystal eyeliner 01 twinkly starlight´

Catrice Long Lasting Eyepencil waterproof 010 New Kids On the Black

Essence I Heart Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara

I don't know why but my berrie lipsticks/lipliners always look red on camera so i apologize for that.. still a red lip goes really well with this eyelook..

But with all my honesty i prefer berry colours and if possible dark purples..  

To give some colour to my bare lips i used 

Catrice Precision Lip Liner 060 Very Berry

So it's the finished look! I hope you like it as much as i do.. and don't mind my stupid face, it was on purpose.. i like to make some ugly faces to camera sometimes!!

You could tell it's just a lipstick on nude lips but you're wrong..

to create this look i defined and filled my lips with a lip pencil and then applied the lipstick.. 

To make a gradient effect i used my douglas eyepencil in black, it's a smooth eyeliner which makes easy to blend with the lipstick.

 Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil 060 Very Berry

Rimmel London Lipstick in 120 Cutting Edge
Douglas Black Eyeliner
 
I really enjoy to use this lips on special occasions, it gives another touch to the usual sleek lip..

Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow palette (Storm 578) - 9,99€

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick (120 Cutting Edge) - 7,50€

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder (005 Silky Beige) - 6,50€

Gosh Extreme Art Eyeliner (10) - 10€

Kiko Makeup Milano Full Coverage Concealer (01) - 7,50€

I love all of this products, the Sleek palette is amazingly pigmented and great quality shadows, the colours are so damn gorgeous; 

Rimmel is starting to be one of those brands I want to know everything about, the lipstick and the powder are amazing quality and durability.

Gosh eyeliner is the best eyeliner i have in my collection, the colour is vibrant and it dries with a glossy effect, the durability is awesome it doesn't smudge, it stes quickly and to remove it is need a good makeup remover 'cause it stays stays stays for the longest time...

Finally my 5th product and my go to concealer, as you can see for the pan showing up, is just perfect.. For the price you get the perfect coverage on blemishes, it doesn't feel cakey but i advise you to use it before foundation, i notice that this way it blends easily. Kiko is one of those brands that never lets you down.

    

These are one of my most used products that cost me under 10€ and i advise you to try them if you can :)

Tell me which products under 10€($/£) you like the most !

Thanks for reading,

I used  1 all over the lid Then used 2 and 7 on the inner corner

3 - half of the lid and 6 to deepen the crease

5 & 4 on the crease blended together

Basic Matt Lip Gloss - matt salmon - 1.99€

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick - 120 Cutting Edge - 7.50 €

(here's the swatches on my hand) 

They have a huge difference in the price but also in quality

The texture is also very different the basic one is smother and easier to apply but it fades quickly trough the day 

The Rimmel is a bit hard to apply in my opinion but as it says it's a long lasting lipstick so it lasts a good ammount of time on the lips

I never had a Rimmel lipstick before but i'm liking this one so maybe i'll enlarge my rimmel collection in this section..

Do you have any of these lipsticks in your collection? if so tell me which ones and recomend me some other brands please :)
