Depotting My Makeup

Hello everybody,

sorry for being inactive recently. Today it's all about depotting my makeup.

On the picture you can see I depotted some of my mono eyeshadows and blushes - as they all used to take so much space!

The black thing underneath are sticky magnets which I sticked underneath the eyeshadows after getting the pan out of the plastic.

The new storage are my MAC doubles palettes - one for eyeshadows and the other one for blushes. You could alternatively use a Z-Palette, which are pretty pricey or you could also make such a palette yourself with an old DVD cover or reuse an other old, empty eyeshadow palette.

This is how the plastic and packaging looked afterwards - pretty a lot of rubbish..

And these are the final results - everything you need in one place. This is so handy and helps you using up some stuff (don't forget also makeup does have a best before date) and have a nice choice on hand. You can arrange the pans just how you prefer it and create your perfect palette!

I hope this was helpful.

Milani Illuminating Face Powder

Could we please just take one moment to appreciate the beauty of this face powder ☺️😊😍😍😍😍

Panning Community

Hello Beauties,

sorry for being a bit inactive in the last days. Today I'd like to talk with you about #panningcommunity, a hashtag which becomes pretty popular on Instagram.

 With hashtags #hithepan, #panporn or #finishthatpalette users support each other to finish up their products instead of just buying new ones.

Many people do #makeupinventories before and create a list with all their beauty and makeup products. Pretty popular is a 10-to-finish list of product that users want to finish until christmas or within the next weeks.

I really like the #hitthepanchallenges and #aufbrauchvorsätze because I think it's a great way to support each other while using up our staff and make room for new makeup ;-)

Benefit - feelin' DANDY

Hello Beauties,

for everyone who would like to give benefits products a try, the "feelin' dandy" kit is a great chance to do so. It consist of the rosie tint, the dandelion blush, the high beam and the dandelion lipgloss. I love all of these products. They are easy to blend and awesome to highlight your cheek bones. The rosie tint can be used to intensify the lip colour before applying the lipgloss as well as give the dandelion blush a better pigmentation when applied before the blush. Absolutely love it!

Smokey eyes for every day

Hello Beauties,

today it's all about a smokey eyes look that is easy to apply and wearable for everyday use.

Just apply a nude eyeshadow as a base and than apply a black eyeshadow as an eyeliner with a brush. The fall-outs will help you to define the part beneath your eyes. Than apply a black kajal and lots of mascara - done :)

Review Concealer Palette - BH Cosmetics vs. Wet'n'Wild

Hello Beauties,

I hope everybody is well. This post was requested on Instagram a while ago. Today it's all about Concealer. On the one hand you can see on the left side of the picture the 6 Color Concealer & Corrector Palette - Light by BH Cosmetics and on the right side of the pic you can see the wet'n'wild (WNW) Cover All Concealer Palette which contains 3 concealers and 1 highlighter.

First, the BH Cosmetics Palette contains 2 colours more and has more shades for contouring. The WNW palette contains therefore a highlighter. 

Second, the packaging is quite nice with both. The WNW palette doesn't match with the descriptions on it's cover but I guess this is OK as you can easily find out which colour is for Highlighting (it's not the green one ;-) ) 

Third, price. Both are pretty same inexpensive. 

Fourth, usability. Both palettes are easy to use and easy to blend in with foundation and powder. 

Last, compatibility. The BH cosmetics one has dried out my skin a bit. Therefore I prefer using the wet'n'wild one. 

Summarised are both products handy palettes that contain concealers and some extra shades - BH is more for contouring and WNW has a highlighter. After using both products for a while I prefer the WNW as it's better compatible with my skin type. For on the road it's also quite handy to have a highlighter on the hand without carrying another product.

I hope you liked my post. What are you experiences with these products? Can you recommend me another concealer palette?

OPI Love

Hello Ladies,

this is how I keep an eye on all my nail polishes. I like to apply each nail polish on a nail tip to have an easy go with what colour I would like to pick and how it will look like.

How are you structuring your nail polish collection?

Brush Cleaning

Hello Beauties,

brush cleaning - a pretty important routine as dirty brushes can clog your pores. For cleaning my brushes I simply use baby shampoo and warm water. For drying I put them head (brush) down on a towel to avoid getting the handle wet.

Do you use any special brush cleaners? Do you have any tips for me?

Hallo ihr Hübschen,

Bürsten sauber machen - eine super wichtige Routine für alle Make-upsüchtigen unter uns, weil dreckige Pinsel einfach eure Poren verkleben können und somit Hautunreinheiten provozieren. Zum Saubermachen meiner Bürsten nutze ich einfach nur Babyshampoo und warmes Wasser. Zum Trocknen lege ich die Bürsten auf ein Handtuch, welches ich an einem Ende zusammen rolle. Die Bürsten liegen dann mit dem Bürstenkopf nach unten und dem Bürstenstiel nach oben damit die Kante, wo Bürste und Stiel aufeinander treffen nicht feucht werden.

Welche Produkte nutzt ihr zum Bürsten waschen?

Ich bin sooooo verliebt in diese beiden wunderschönen Rouges aus der Limited Edition von Essence!! Der pinke ist aus der #secretparty LE und der mit dem Rosenmuster ist aus der LE brit-tea. Swatches gibt es leider noch keine, da ich bisher mich noch nicht getraut habe mit den Fingern in den beiden zu matschen, da sie einfach soooo hübsch anzuschauen sind ;-)
