FOTD, NOTD: Dark and light

Hello everyone!

Today I went just to grab something sweet to the closest store, so my make up is quite messy.. :D

First the nail polish (taken with my cellphone, so the picture kind of sucks), it's Kiko 283. Two coats. It's just perfect.


It's very sunny, so it kind of suits me in this shitty weather (from 30 degrees it went down to 15). 

And the FOTD,  I look like death alive. It must be the black. It never suited me. 



And the makeup (simple, simple);

I used: Fyrinnae Polar bear, LimeCrime Twilight, and Fyrinnae Dark elf. I used the mascara from my last review.

Have a nice day!

Review: Bourjois 1001 Lashes Mascara Black

Hello dear readers,

It's been a while since my last review and I honestly have no excuses :).
Last week I got myself this gorgeous looking mascara (it was in a package, with 3 other things, so it's totally worth it!).

It says:
The lash multiplier*

Reaches every single lash regardless of their length or location.

Say goodbye to mascaras that only thicken or lengthen the lashes! Bourjois goes further and multiplies your lashes*!

This high-tech mascara visually multiplies the number of lashes for a full fringe of eyelashes.. more dense, more beautiful.
The revolutionary patented** double helix brush has astonishing powers: with its twelve rows of bristles, it works on every single lash, even the very smallest. In just one application, every lash is reached and fully coated from root to tip without clumping.
It's lengthening, rich in pigments glide-on formula intensifies and gives maximum body to all your lashes.
Enriched with natural waxes, vitamin E, and C derivatives, it is suitable for sensitive eyes.
* visual effect




** patent pending








As you can see the wand is interestingly shaped, which kind of scared me off at first. But then, I actually used it and WOW! 


The wand:



First let me show you my bare lashes (they are disgusting, like if nothing is there!).

See? They are almost invisible! :<

I then applied one coat of mascara and took some more pictures. 

Much much better. But still not quite it.

2nd Layer of mascara

WOW! That's what I wanted, yeah!

It was pretty easy to apply, even in the inner corners when I usually don't put mascara (that's too much of a hassle).

Texture:
The texture is good, not too dry not too moist either.

The mascara is a very clean one:
And there's one thing that I absolutely love! The fact that when you take the want out, there's no mascara residue left on the edge. At all! This mascara is so clean, that it's hard to believe.


Pros:
+ The packaging, it's something new.
+ The wand! Works perfectly!
+The texture.
+It's not tested on animals.
+ 2 layers of it and my lashes look divine!
+ Doesn't clump.
+ Stays on all day!
+ Gets off easily (with water).
+ Does what it says, except for the multiple of lashes;
 I mean wtf is that part anyway?

Cons:
- Maybe the price. But actually, it's not that bad.
- It's not waterproof, but it won't budge when you sweat.
- Doesn't give a lot of volumes.


The removal:
This is an easy one. The mascara goes off with just plain warm water. It doesn't leave anything behind it, so stay away from water if you want to keep it on! ;)
Of course, it DID burn when it touched my eyes in its melted state. But that happens with every mascara, so I don't worry too much.


Price: 4/5 ♥♥♥ (~12€)
Rating: 3/5 ♥♥♥

Overall:
I usually don't like mascaras that have in their ad a girl with OBVIOUSLY fake lashes on... Or that promise way too many things.
But this time, I made an exception. I LOVE IT!
I Think I found my new love, and if anything goes wrong with it, I'll surely let you know! 
It actually didn't budge when I sweated like a pig, but at the same time it went off really easily with just plain water.

New Phone! HTC Wildfire


Hello lovelies!
As you may know (I have tweeted and so on about it) I got a new phone. I decided that it's time to change my good old Nokia E71 and get a new phone. This time it's touch screen, but I do not miss the querty keyboard, because.. well this one it has one too! :P


It comes in a nice box, which we all are used to. All HTC phones come in similar boxes. It has added an recharger, USB cable and headphones. Simple and useful.


For me it's big enough, because it's a tiny bit smaller than E71, so it's actually perfect for me :)!

I had to put on some stickers, ...
(that small thing is the monitor cleaner)

Isn't it pretty? xD

Soo... the reason why I like it so much?! MESSAGES..

Turned normally...

On the side.. it becomes full querty <3!

And you can customise the wallpaper, screen wallpaper...  and so on :) I only miss inbuilt themes :P

So far I'm pretty happy with it..  and I know my other phone is in good hands (I lent it to my sister). :D


Photo MU: Simple Make Up

Hello!

Today I'm going to show you a make up (well two looks) that I did for a customer. I'm fairly new at doing make up for others, but so far it's fun :)!
I have a separate kit for others, so no worry!

The photographer wanted in both cases a natural looking make up. The Look #2 was for the studio photos, and #1 for outdoors. 

She is also very pretty, so it wasn't hard to do the MU for her :).

CLICK, for bigger image!


On the 1st photo, she has some foundation. That's because I forgot to take a picture before I started working..

And I do realize that all three photographs are taken in different lighting. 

Anyway... do you have any tips that worked for applying make up on others? :)

Cosmetic Haul

Hello!

I've been shopping online lately... :)
I ordered some stuff from CoastalScents and LookFantastic.
The Lookfantastic stuff took 1 week to get to me (BLEH!, because they are from UK), and CS took 1 week also (WOHOOW, from the USA!).


First the Lookfantastic order.. :)
It's the Joico K-pak set.. It includes the K-pak reconstruct Shampoo & Balsam, and the Joico K-Pak Color serum. I must say that I have no idea what's in this shampoo and balsam but I love it..  The scent is so-so, but it makes my hair SO soft!

CS order
The color corrector set. This is a nice deal, for all of them less than 17$. I also tried them and they work great with foundations (because they are made for it lol).

Nature photos


Hello!
Yesterday we went for a walk and I decided to take some photos with my compact camera... :D

And here they are (while you are waiting for some beauty related posts).


 

New template, EOTD and new color of hair!



Hello!

First.. have you noticed my new template?
I counted the votes, and Pink and Purple had the same number of votes. So I picked up purple.
So.. :D How do you like it? 

I like it a lot, if not,.. well I'd change it. 

Next time, I'll try to make something more gyaru fashion inspired.  Because those blogs are a joy to look at... 

Lets move on to my today's EOTD..


I used:
  • P2 shimmery brown eyeshadow all over my lids,
  • Dr. Dima's Cosminology Astro Hot (reddish brown) in my crease,
  • Fyrinnae Polar Bear in the corners of my eyes.
  • MaxFactor 2000kcal mascara

And last but not least.. my new hair color! It's more red based, than was the last one. Sadly that last one, didn't last long enough.. 
Plus I think this one suits me better, it gives life to my hair.. 



Comments would be appreciated ;).

xoxo,
Tamara

If you think that blogger has gone nuts..

Well it hasn't! I wanted to change the template, but then messed up everything.. And now I'll have to wait untill the end of work, so I can get home and fix it :).

Please be patient.

I also have a question for you, please answer. Tonight I'll make a new template.

OOTD: Work a little more fashionable

Hello!

Today I wanted to share a work outfit that is a bit more fashionable :). People were staring at me, but what the hell? xD I couldn't care less!


And a bonus picture... which of course includes Pablo!


Excuse the shitty face XD!

Another haul, this time mostly jewelery

Hello!

Today I did it again.. I went shopping.. whoops! 

I bought jewellery, and some other essential stuff...  :D

First the jewellery...  
The huge ring is from TopShop, and the other stuff is from Müller. Accessories stuff.. :)
I absolutely love the small engagement ring necklace. It's so funny!
I also got two anklets, which say Best Friends, but since I don't have a bff, I'll keep them both :P!


And two shirts from yesterday..

AnnChristine, 10€



H&M, 10€

I hope you had a wonderful day..  :)

NOTD: Kiko 267 Azzurro

Hi!

As you may remember, yesterday I went shopping (today I went too, but I only got 2 shirts and a ring, but more about it tomorrow) and I got three Kiko nail polishes..

One of them is 267 (as they go by numbers) also called Azzurro (as written on their site, which means simply blue).
It's a pretty blue polish with small shimmer (I saw golden, light blue and light purple) frost finish. The finish itself lets different light sparkle in it..

Official photo:


And my pictures!

I must say, that the polishes are amazing! They apply like a dream (most of them are 1 coaters!), dry quickly and come in so many different shades!
Oh right, they are also easy to remove!
And the best thing?! The price; at 1,90€ they win.


EOTD: Eccentric work MU

Hello!

I wore this MU the day I was wearing pink jeans... the look was super fun, but yet very strong, so I added some Fyrinnae Polar Bear to tone it down.



I used  CS 88 Mat palette and Elf Waterproof eyeliner and MaxFactor 2000kcal mascara..

Another haul! :P Mixed.

It was time for shopping today..

It all started with some KIKO nail polishes..

Continued with TopShop shoes..

Then with NewYorker shoes..


NewYorker dress and shirt...

And ended in H&M, with some gorgeous pants, of which pictures I don't have (yet!). But they are surely gorgeous!
