Mini Haul

Last weeek I ventured out to buy a hair dye and ended up spending over three hours at the mall because I had to touch everything. Twice. 

What came home with me, left to right (sort of):

• Remington Anywhere Curls 25mm barrel curling iron   17,99 €   (my first heat styling tool ever, extremely tiny, portable and practical)
• Dermacol Neon Hair Powder in Violet   3,79 €   (no idea if this works yet, but it better had because Dermacol is awesome)
• Catrice Waterproof Eyeliner Pen   3,49 €   (great formula, terrible applicator)
• S-he Stylezone Quick Eye Liner in 004 Violet   2,69 €   (does not work as a fancy coloured liner, looks like a realistic bruise though)
• Syoss Professional Performance hair dye in 3-3 Dark Violet   3,99 €   (my second repurchase, review coming up next!)
• Essence Eyeshadow Brush   1,39 €   (so.damn.CUTE.)
• Essence PureSkin Anti-Spot Toner & Powder   2,79 €    (fourth repurchase I think, a very cool product that actually contains dispersed mineral powder)

Wow that is one blurry picture. The heat and light intensity was absolutely insane on that day and my camera was not handling that well. 

An attempted closer shot of the brush, eyeliner pens and what the hair chalk itself looks like.


Have you tried any of these products? Have a lovely day!

How to Wear Colour: A Pop of Blue on the Waterline

Before discovering waterproof liquid liner the main focus of my makeup used to be colourful eyeshadow. A terrifying concept for many, surely :)

I still like to incorporate colour in my looks but some just don't work in a monochrome smokey eye situations.

Blue lower lash liner is quite a common feature in the myriads of makeup tutorials floating around the internet but something I've never done before.

I've recently bought an unreasonable number of eyeliner pencils and to justify that purchase I decided to give it a go today.

I tightlined my upper lashline with a black kohl pencil and did a basic three-shade silver-and-black smokey eye. Then I lined my waterline with Catrice Kohl Kajal in 190 Cleopetrol and pressed some Makeup Revolution eyeshadow in Ash from the Give them Nightmares Palette, finishing off with Dermacol Precise Black Black Sensation liner pen and some mascara.

To keep the petrol blues from looking too non-human I used my contour powder (a caramel brown) as a transition shade (adds warmth) and a very blue-toned grey shadows (unifies undertones).

How do you feel about blue eyemakeup, is it a no-no or a staple for you?
Have a lovely week!
