Palettes 2: Which colours are your favourites?

Image
As I have said in the previous post, where I used Diego Dalla Palma's palette I mostly used these colours: nuda, ballerina, skin tone and all about nude brownish bronze. They are super nice, they stay longer and are also not disturbing the eyes at all. I have sensitive eyes and have seen that this palette was quite good for eyes that might be allergic to cosmetics. Other colours that this palette has like lady nude, too mauve, naked and bare green are going to be amongst my next colours to try. The palette is incredible and it allows different types of makeup so I suggest it to everyone. Diego Dalla Palma eyeshadow palette Here comes MAC Mulch number A98 , this was a suggestion of a Turkish blogger, and I loved this one a lot. The colour is really amazing, you can use it by itself, in autumn, in winter and summer. It goes well with all the other colours, it lasts really long as well. This one seems really expensive for one eyeshadow only but I bought it in a package prepared

Palettes: which colours are your favourites?

Is there a need to have so many palettes? Definitely not. I will introduce you a few palettes as a result of years of experience. Well, I do not use the eye shadow every day but I like to have a good palette and do a light makeup. Many years ago my cousin told me how to do it: to do the seven at the edge of the eye when using the eyeshadows. This information has been quite useful. I suggest these two videos for learning eye makeup:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6SQjrxRG2c  from Cliomakeup and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3wNnH1NHA8  from Merve Özkaynak. Cutting the long story short, today I will talk about seven brands (Kiko, Clinique, Lancome, Diego Dalla Palma, Mac, Too Faced and Inglot) and six palettes (2 from Kiko, one from Lancome, one from Clinique, one from Diego Dalla Palma and one from Too Faced), four single eyeshadows (Three from Kiko, one from Mac ) and one which you can combine yourself (Inglot). I hope that it will be a useful one for you before you make deci

22nd of December: Lipstick of Clinique, Lovepop number 13

Image
The lipstick has a very nice pinkish and Christmasy colour... Well actually if we look at the website it is amongst the violet colour group. Lovepop number 13 is a very interesting colour, it brightens your face, it gives some kind of evening look, and it almost looks like you have used your mother's lipstick by mistake. love pop number 13 At the same time, it gives some shine to your lips as it has some sparkles inside. The only problem I found with this number 13 of the pop series was that it does not go away easily! Well, you will say, the lipstick should stay. I think the contrary, I think that anything natural would not stick and stay. Cause then it means it has some kind of artificial quality to it. Then you will say, do you want to refresh your lipstick all the time? My answer is yes, I prefer that it is natural and I can refresh it from time to time. For me, it was hard to get rid of it, moreover, it dried my lips after the use... It can also be due to the wintertime

6th and 7th of December 2019: In anticipation with blush and brush of Clinique

Image
This time I had to try these two products together. The reason for that is that one is a blush and the other is a brush. Yess so I admit that I had to open one of the boxes one day before... not had to, chose to do so; because I was curious. Luckily, it turned out to be compatible products. The blush of clinique is named Precious Posy  and I applied it with the brush that came out of the box of the 7th of December, which is smaller than this one: Powder Brush of Clinique . The brush is elegant, with the transparent handle (I do not know the exact word, forgive my ignorance). I cannot say it is super soft, I can say it is agreeably soft. Learning to be diplomatic for God's sake.  Well, the application of the blush is really easy, the brush was kind of tough on my cheek but I have sensitive skin so I could feel it a bit harsh on it. However, the brush was the right one to apply the powder/blush with; it really works well for diffusing on your cheek. And the blush i

Happy with Shiseido Seven Colour Powder

Image
In line with the blog post Challenge accepted , I tried today Shiseido seven colour powder.  Although there are different ways to use it I used the brightening version , mixing all the colours. So basically I did use it without makeup. I know what you think, you might think it is not the right way, but it was fine. 1) Shiseido seven colour powder does not dry the skin 2) It looks very nice and natural 3) Since I did not have makeup I cannot tell you how it would fit the rest but I think that it can be a day saver even... SUGGEST IT 100 PERCENT! We continue with the challenge tomorrow...

Disappointed with Vichy Mineral Blend Powder

I tried this powder, medium colour , and did it after I had hydrated my skin and put on some BB cream as well. However, did not like it at all. There are a few reasons for it. 1) It made my skin dry and even it made it look drier than usual 2) It did not look natural although it fit the makeup in regard to colouring. Bad news is this: It made my skin so tense that I had to clean whole my makeup immediately. This powder might be good for those who have very oily skin but dry skinners, not for you! Do not buy it and do not waste your money if you have dry skin. It will be a total disaster! We did not start the first day really with great hopes, but we will have other days of hope! Wait and see!
