New in...

and so far I'm loving everything!

Getting older means...

Zoeva "Classic Brush Set"

You value functionality over beautiful rose golden things...

This is how you know you're getting older, when you decide to get the classic brush set because even though it's the dullest (black and silver ugh...) it's the one that has the best brushes from the brand and the ones that I actually need. This decision breaks my heart because I've dreamed about the rose golden brushes for a long time but that set has brushes that are completly useless to me and the world in general, I dare say.

The highlight from this set, for me, is the 105 Luxe Highlight Brush, it's so difficult to find a good brush that distributes your highlighter in the right place, they are either too big or too small and this brush has the perfect size to hit just the top of your cheeks but it's not so small that would create just a line of highlight. The other brushes are also really good and you will find that you won't need any other brushes for your daily make-up. 

 

 Face:

 
105 Luxe Highlight: Apply highlighter
125 Stippling: Airbrushed finish application of foundation
128 Cream Cheek: Apply and blend cream and powder blush
142 Concealer Buffer: Apply and blend concealer 

Eyes:

 
227 Luxe Soft Definer: Softly blend and smooth eyeshadow
228 Luxe Crease: Blending and shading eyeshadow in the crease
230 Luxe Pencil: Precise shading and smoothing edges
317 Wing Liner: Detailed eyeliner strokes and a perfect wing

These are a few of my favorite things...

The definitive wishlist for this Christmas and for my Birthday! There seems to be a pink theme but it was totally random.

Craving...

This week my cravings are all about make up. I've been obsessing over beauty youtubers, especially Kathleenlights. She's really funny and her tutorials and reviews are really good, she has an amazing make up collection.

Here are some products that I will purchase in the following weeks, they have to be mine!!

1. MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Foundation - I heard some amaaazing reviews about this foundation and I've tryed it out and it does seem to be perfect. It's not as heavy as the normal HD and it's not matte, it's very natural. It's a big investement but it will last almost all winter since I'm not a foundation addict.

2. REAL TECHNIQUES Setting Brush, a great little brush to set your concealer with some powder.

3. ZOEVA 105 Luxe Highlight, I can't believe I still don't have this brush, it will blend my highlighter like heaven.

4. SEPHORA Blush in N.º2 - So Shy, the perfect nude pink natural blush for everyday.

5. M.A.C Powder Blush in Peony Petal, it's a bright blue pink blush that intrigues me, the color is so diferent and I hope that applied very lightly it will make the perfect romantic make up look.

6. L'ORÉAL Le Blush Accord Perfect in Terre de Sienne, a warmer pink for winter.

7. BOBBI BROWN  Shimmer Brick Compact in Rose, this product is so beautiful and you can wear it like a blush or a highlighter, it's a best seller and I can see why.

Beauty cravings

I've never been a "beauty addict" but that has recently changed and I now found myself choosing a Uban Decay Naked palette (I bought the Naked3 and i'm in love) over shoes... Who would have thought?!

These are my beauty cravings, I expect to satisfie some of these cravings in the next weeks. The M.A.C "Snob" lipstick, the Nars illuminator and the Zoeva Brushes are a top priority, I hope to buy the last two items in my trip next month. Fingers crossed.

While the sun doesn't shine my skin tone is turning into one of the fifty shades of grey. I'm transforming into a "walker" (walking dead reference, sorry), to fight that I desperately need a good self tanning product and I think this Claring gel is a good option.

To continue the fight against the zombie look I will need a great illuminator and blush and these colors from Nars and M.A.C will give me a healthy/alive color. I'm especially curious to try out the Nars illuminator that you can also use as a blush, I've read great things about it and I think it will be my go-to product in the summer, for when you don't want to have all that heavy make-up on your face but you still want that amazing glow.

Nars \ Illuminator - Laguna

I'm spending all this money on make-up and forgeting that for these products to work it's essencial to have good quality brushes, that's why I'm investing in these gorgeous ZOEVA professional brushes, a german brand that promises that their brushes are animal friendly and handmade. The reviews of their products are amazing and the prices as well, this set will cost you 65€ and we're talking about eight brushes. 

I'm loving my Chanel foundation but since I'm new to the "make-up thing" I want to try other foundations after this one runs out. The M.A.C Studio fix fluid and the NARS All day luminous will follow the Chanel Velvet Lumiére and I hope the experience is just as good. Finally I had to include a product that helps shape brows because only recently I've discovered the huge diference a shaped brow makes in a make-up look, it's jaw droping sometimes. The Brow zings from Benefit is one of the brow styling products out there but there are so many that i'm still undecided about wich to choose.

Nars \ All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
