FOTD - Monday 30/1 - Wednesday 1/2 2012

As I haven't really been doing much more than working (from home) and some errands, I've been going for a simple but pretty bronze look. I want to use my NAKED palette as much as I can atm (you know that newly in love feeling ;P) and I've found that "Smog" is that perfects soft brown bronze everyday colour. It's kinda' like MAC's woodwinked only not as orange/gold more brown/bronze which makes it easier to wear on a day to day basis.

I USED

Face: Lumene Beauty Base Matifying Primer

Garnier tinted eye roll-on

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

Too Faced Primed & Poreless loose powder

NARS Bronzer Laguna

MAC Blush Bite of an Apple

DIOR Highlighter Amber Diamond

Eyes: MAC Paint Pot Painterly

UD e/s Smog (lids), Darkhorse (lashline), Sin (highlight)

MUS Eyeliner pencil Vanilla (waterline)

MAC Fluidline Blitz&Glitz (tightline)

VLD Mix & Match Brow colour trio (lightest shade)

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

Lips: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Note: UD = Urban Decay, MUS = Make Up Store, VLD = Viva La Diva

If you have MAC Woodwinked at home but you're not really using it because you think it's too orange, I really suggest you check out Urban decays website or in store if they sell Smog individually (if you don't wanna buy the whole Naked palette) 'cause it really is a more wearable brown version of wookwinked =)

FOTD - Saturday night 28/1/2012

Good morning lovelies!

I'm gonna start off this week with a FOTD from saturday night. I was feeling a bit sick this weekend so we just had some friends over they drank some beer(I didn't want to drink) and we chatted all night. I love nights like that! I didn't know though exactly what the night would bring when I did my makeup so I went a little heavier than I would have had I known I would stay in all night. Oh well, I like doing my makeup and I had a new toy (NAKED palette!) to play with so no harm done ;)

I USED

Face: Garnier tinted eye roll-on

NARS Sheer Matte foundation

Too Faced primed and poreless loose powder

NARS Bronzer Laguna

DIOR Blush Vintage Pink

DIOR Highlighter Amber Diamond

Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay  NAKED p e/s Toasted(lids) & Hustle(lashlines + outer v) & 

Virgin(highlight- browbone + inner tearducts)

MUS Eyeliner pencil Vanilla(waterline)

MAC Fluidline Blitz&Glitz(tightline)

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

Isadora Eyebrowpencil light brown

Lips: MAC Cremcheen lipglass Partial To Pink

This is the first time I've ever tried Urban Decay shadows and they are very very nice! Allthough some of them do have rather excessive fallout (mostly the glitter ones). This is also the first time for me trying out the famous primer potion which I'm not really that keen on actually :/ it's so wet feeling and I just don't like that. I get the exact same results (staying power + colour pop) with my Too faced Shadow insureance or my Lumene eyeshadow base without that wet feeling. So the Primer Potion will go to a friend. I do have too many primes anyways so I donät need to hold on to it just because you know =)

Urban Decay Haul! - NAKED palette (original) + De Slick Setting spray

FINALLY I have the Naked palette (original)! I was putting off buying it the whole year of 2011 thinking I don't need another palette of golds and neautrals (which i don't I have enough allready) but when christmas came and went I finally decided that I need the Naked palette in my life! I used som eof my remaining christmas money last week and ordered it from BeautyBay! I did need a new setting spray so I figured I was going to try the De Slick one so as I was adding that to my "shopping basket" I just couldn't resist adding the palette aswell ^^

You've seen it before and I bet you're tired of hearing and seeing and reading about it! I am too! But I mean i have to show you just in case someone out there has misses all that is the UD NAKED palette! =) I do really like the colours but there will be very few times that I use the greyish black called Creep and the gunmetal grey called Gunmetal (the two on the right). They're just not my colours, I maybe use cool greys and silvers once maybe twice a year (stretching it) so colourwise the NAKED2 palette would have been ideal for me but I just can't handle that tin packaging! And also I like the other colours a bit more in this one than the second one.

TIP: The cool grey/taupe packaging of the NAKED2 palette makes the eyeshadows look even cooler! So keep that in mind when you're looking at it online and thinking about ordering it! (yes I don't own it but when I looked at swatches I really don't see much taupe and cool tones at all)

Just a little Haul..

So this month I'm on a very strict budget so I can save as much as possible. Hopefully for a round the world trip =) But, I've let myself spend a surtain amount on whatever I want and I went for an oldie but goodie and 2 completely new products for me.

First we have my fave silk serum - L´anza' Healing strength silk serum. It was on a 30% off sale and mine that I use now is almost completely gone so I just couldn't pass up on it..

Then, just beacause I'm curious and I actually don't like MAC Fix+ all that much (it does nothing else but  take away the cakyness) I went for the Urban Decay All nighter setting spray. I've heard so many great things about this setting spray I had to try it. It's also my first ever Urban Decay product hehe =)

Then, because I'm a huuuge fan of Too Faced's Primed & Poreless primer when it now was time for a new powder (my MSFN is almost gone, and it's too heavy in winter) I thought that maybe I'll like the powder as much as I like the primer. So I went for the Primed & Poreless powder =)

Now this is it for shopping this month hehe.. I only have money for food left in my budget now so any other shopping will have to wait til next payday..

What do you guys say? Have you tried any of these products? =)
