Valentine's Series: EOTD #1

Hi there!
This is my first Valentine's Day eye look :) It's a pink look with a little bit of brown. When you do pink looks, keep in mind that it can make you look tired and crying easily, so don't overdo it.

That's what you need: 

- an eyeshadow base of your choice (I used the one by RdLY)

- a bright pink eyeshadow (I used one from an old duo by Essence, it was LE)

- a light shimmery pink color (I used a discontinued eyeshadown by the Manhattan MyBox Series)

- a cranberry eyeshadow (I used Spiced Red by Catrice from the Carame LE; it's a dupe for MAC cranberry)

- a shimmery brown color (I used the one from the mocca beige duo by RdL)

- a champagne color (I used the one from the mocca beige duo by RdL)

- a brown pencil liner (I used the p2 perfect look kajal in brown)

- black mascara (I used the diamond wish one by RdLY)

That's how to do it:

1. Apply an eyeshadow base of your choice all over your lid to prevent creasing.

2. Add the bright pink color to the center of your lid.

3. Apply your light pink shimmer color to the inner thrid of your lid.

4. Now slightly apply the cranberry color onto your v-area. You don't want to make it too vibrant, it should just give a nice red undertone for the following color.

5. Pick up your brown shimmery color and apply it to your crease. It should go over the cranberry color. Blend it out towards your brow. Also add a tiny bit of this color on the outer third of your lower lashline.

6. Add the champagne color to your brow bone and your inner corner to brighten your eye.

7. Line your top lashline and 2 thirds of your waterline with the brown eyepencil.

8. Add mascara to both your top and bottom lashes.

And that's it! I like it, because it uses pink, the go-to valentine color, but still doesn't make you look weird. What are you gonna wear on Valentine's Day?? I'll do some more looks, so you'll get inspired ;)

As promised, I am going to show you the looks I was wearing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as well as on the second Christmas Day, December 26th :)

On Christmas Eve I did a light gold look with a little bit of copper in it and kept it pretty simple, because the actually eye-catcher was the very red lips I did :) For my cheeks I kept it natural but with a nice glow.

These are the products I used:
- RdL eyeshadow in 02 sun (a shimmery light champagne gold color) on the inner half of my lid
- Catrice Carame LE eyeshadow in C04 spiced bronze (a shimmery bronze gold color) on the outer half of my lid

- Essence eyeliner pen in black as very thin eyeliner
- RdLY diamond mascara in black on upper and lower lashes

NOTD November 14th: Hello Kitty Design

Hi there!

Today I did a nice nail design :) I got the idea from cutepolish from youtube, and that's where I also got the Hello Kitty Faces, so check it out :)

That's what you need:

- base coat (I used Essence Pro White French base coat)

- pink cream nail polish (I used RdL nail polish in ??)

- opaque white cream nail polish (I used Essence stampy polish in white)

- cream black nail polish (I used p2 210 eternal)

- tooth pick or dotting tool (I used the Essence nail art stylist)

- Hello Kitty faces (I got mine here and printed them out)

- top coat (I used Essence nail art sealing top coat)

That's how to do it:

1. Paint all your nails with a base coat of your choice.

2. Paint all your nails with a pink cream, except for the ring fingers. Paint those cream white. Do a second or third coat if needed.

3. Take a piece of paper and put a drop of black and white polish on it. Get some color (one after the other) onto your dotting tool or tooth pick and put some random dots in both colors on your pink colored nails.

4. Cut out your Hello Kitty faces and color in the bow with a pink color, either pencil or polish.

5. Get some top coat on the white colored nails and place the Hello Kitty faces on them. This will make the stay there.

6. Get some black and pink polish onto your paper and put dots around your Hello Kitty faces using your tooth pick or dotting tool.

7. Fix everything with top a coat.

That's how easy it is to create these cute, fun nails :) Make sure to check out the video by Cutepolish.

Until next time, xoxo, Misch

Halloween Tutorials: Pin Up Look + Use It Up! Product 7 & 8

Hi there,

today I have something a little more simple for Halloween: a really basic Pin Up Look.

For this look there are 2 important things: the dramatic black eyeliner with a wing and the bright red lips.

Eyes:

You can use whatever you want, a gel liner, liquid liner or a pencil liner. I first used a very sharp pencil liner and lined my eye without doing the wing. The line should be pretty think and defined. Then you want to start to draw on you wing. Draw it piece-by-piece and take your time with it. Try to find a look that works for your eyeshape. Make sure both eyes are even. If it didn't work, just remove it and start again.

Now you want to take an angled brush and a matte black eyeshadow and go over the eyeliner. This will make it even darker and it'll make it last longer.

To really get the defined look, take an eyeshadow in the color of your skintone and pick it up with the angled brush (if you're using the same brush as before, clean it on the back of you hand first!). Now go around the eyeliner and the wing you created. That will make the liner look even harsher and more defined.

Lips:

The lips are supposed to be bright red. I don't have a bright red lipstick, so I used a trick to get the bright red lips. But let's start with lining your lips with a natural skintoned lipliner. This will create the base for the color.

Now, go ahead and use yo0ur red lipstick, but if you don't have one, do this trick: Use a red eyeshadow and vaseline! I'm sure some of you own the 120 palette or one of the colorful Coastal Scents 88 palettes, and these contain red eyeshadows. So what you want to do is pick up some of the eyeshadow with a brush or a sponge-tip applicator, and get it onto the back of your hand. The take some vaseline and mix it with the red eyeshadow. Apply the mixed product onto you lips with your fingers or a lip brush. This trick works for any color, so if you are going for a specific lip color, just use an eyeshadow! And vaseline will also care your lips.

Now take your concealer and an angled or tapered brush. Pick some of the concealer up and go around the contour of your lips. This will define them really sharply.

Use It Up!:

I finally used up some more products! A topcoat by RdL, which I had for a while now and it got kinda thick...got it empty!

And then a lipbalm on velvet rose by Labello. This isn't my favorite lipbalm ever, but I still had it laying around here, so I used it up!

I hope you liked this tutorial!

I'll see you later!

EOTD October 16th: Nude Look and Bright Eyes

Hi guys,

y'all wanted some neutral looks and here is the first one I'm gonna show you!

First you want to have completely clean eyes. Apply eyecream if you use one.

Then you want to apply concealer to your undereye area, especially to your dark circles. I used the Maybelline dream mousse concealer in 04 rose beige

Next you want to define you eyebrows. I first applied the Rival de Loop eyebrow pencil in medium brown, and then fixed it with the Rival de Loop Young browgel.

Now you want to apply you eyeshadow base. This will even out your lid, keep the eyeshadows from creasing, makes them appear brighter and lets them last longer. I used the Rival de Loop Young eyeshadow base, but the old one without shimmer.

Apply a matte brown color to your crease, using a fluffy blending brush. It's not supposed to darken the look, just to give your eyes more dimension. I used Essence Soft Matt eyeshadow in silky smooth.

Then you want to put white eyeliner (pencil liner) underneath the arch of your brow and to your inner corner, this will brighten up you eyes. I used the Essence kajal pencil in white.

Blend the white eyeliner to achieve the natural look.

Finish off by using brown or black mascara on both your top and bottom lashes. I used the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express.

That's the finished look!

It's super qucick and really easy! I hope you liked it!

Bye, Misch

My favorite lip colors for fall!

Hey guys,

in my opinion, fall (or call it autumn if you want) is THE time of the year to wear fun, bold, dark and bright lip colors! I have a few favorites and I'm going to show them to you now!

Rival de Loop Lipstick in 101 (I believe this one is discontinued; on the picture it's a bit washed out):

It's a orage-ish red matte lipstick that almost screams fall.

Rival de Loop Pure Lips Lipgloss in 016 (Don't know if this is still available):

It's a red lipgloss with silver shimmer, but it's not a dark on the lips as it is in the bottle. To me, this one is perfect for fall and winter.

Essence Eclipse Collection in 01 Lunch at Cullen's (It was Limited Edition):

A dark, red shimmery lipgloss, super opaque. I like it for night time, becuase it's really dark.

Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss in 46D (I reviewed this one HERE):

A bright, shiny pink color, it's more of a summer color, but I think it's wearable in fall, too.

Maybelline Watershine Elixir Lipstick in Vibrant Violet (I got it on sale, so it might be discontinued):

A shimmery purple-y pink, that is more lipgloss than a lipstick. Love the color.

NYX Girls Gloss in 14 Queen of Africa:

A blue-ish purple lipgloss with shimmer, that isn't that intense on the lips, but it's still purple.

Catrice Expect the Unexpected Collection Lipstick in C03 Purposely Purple (It's Limited Edition, but available at the moment):

A crazy, but fun purple color with gold shimmer, definitely not something for every day.

What I would wear with these colors: A very neutral eye, either my neutral color pop without the color on the lower lashline or just a thin black eyeliner line and mascara. The cheeks should be very natural, too.

What to keep in mind: If you really want to rock this bright lip look, you should be careful that nothing gets onto your teeth (very bad!), that it gets outside of your lip (you might want to use a lipliner, no matter if it's a clear or a colored one) or that it fades after you had lunch (or dinner) and you run around with a half painted lip (just reapply your color after you ate something). You should also not over-do it with the rest of your make-up.

I hope you liked it! And, what are your favorite lip colors for fall? Do you love bright lips or do you wear a nude lip every day?

I'll see you soon! Bye, Misch
