Lazy Sunday Makeup

Hey Ladies, 

if it needs to be quickly done and this is my lazy routine

• Zoeva brush - with which I just apply a  bit of concealer as I am not a fan of too heavy coverage, especially on a sunday
• having my eyebrows done is a must for me! I am currently loving the bobbi brown or the MAC in dirty blonde or fling
• Mascara - this one is from Elizabeth Arden but to be honest I don't find it better than the catrice ones 
• Blush - I love blushes. This one is from a catrice LE - I absolutely loved it!!! Alternatively I am hugely in love with apricot tones 

How does your Sunday routine looks like? Or are Sundays your "no makeup days"?

Love, 

Steph xx

MAC 9x9 Burgundy

Big, big Love.

Usually not to much a fan of burgundy shades but this palette is amazing. It was pretty tough to get my hands on it as it was sold out in various shops. And it's worth the wait.

Grosse Liebe diese Palette! Gute Haltbarkeit und von meiner Seite eine absolute Empfehlung - auch für alle, die nicht sooooo gerne rötliche Töne mögen.

New In: MAC Ellie Golding LE Blush Bronzing Powder

Hello everybody, 

in January I went to the Mac Store at Carnaby Street and had to get this MAC baby from the Ellie Golding Limit Edition.

I played around with it and it's incredibly pigmented. You  really have to be careful when applying the colour. Otherwise you might be easily over blushed. But it's a gorgeous tone.

The bronzing powder is during winter slightly to dark for my very pale skin but can't wait until summer for a nice sun kissed look.

There is no separation between the products so you might want to use a smaller brush because when applying colour to a kabuki brush it's hard to just get bronzer on it.

Hallo meine Lieben,

ich bin im Januar in den Mac Store auf der Carnaby Street in London 'gestolpert' (ja, es war kein Versehen ;-) ) und habe mir dieses Schmuckstück aus der Ellie Golding Limited Edition mitgenommen.

In der Zwischenzeit hatte ich genug Möglichkeiten das Rouge-Bronze-Puder auszuprobieren, um meinen ersten Eindruck mit euch teilen zu können. Beide Produkte sind super pigmentiert, weshalb ihr echt vorsichtig beim Auftrag sein solltet. Ansonsten seht ihr aus wie in den Rougetopf gefallen. Das Rouge hat einen absolut entzückenden Farbton - ich bin verliebt.

Das Bronzepuder ist für mich momentan leider zu dunkel, da ich einen sehr hellen Hauttypen habe. Ich werde es dann im Frühling / Sommer ausgiebig verwenden - für einen tollen, sonnengeküssten Look. 

Da die beiden Produkte im Pfännchen nicht wirklich getrennt sind bzw. ineinander übergehen solltet ihr einen kleineren Pinsel für den Auftrag verwenden. Für Bronzer benutze ich am liebsten große, breite Kabukipinsel aber das wird wohl nix, da das Pfännchen einfach zu klein ist, um nur Bronzer, ohne Rouge zu erwischen.

Love, Stephanie

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.

Xx Steph

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 ;-)

Steph Xx
