Blue lip tutorial - Inspired by Kat von D

Hi sweethearts,


 I love the new Kat von D blue lipsticks, BUT!! I can't find them in my country, so I figured out how to make the shades myself. For everyone who loves her products, but don't have them, just follow my tutorial and you will see how to create your own blue "Slayer" and "Poe" shades.


Here is a link to my YouTube channel. If you like it, thumbs up and subscribe. Also I would love to see the results so send me a picture with the look and I ll post it.

My "Summer wine" dramatic makeup

Hi my lasses,

I love theatrical makeup with bold velvety wine lips and deep purples and reds. Especially in the fall, or during the evenings. So I decided to create this look for you.
I used several techniques here too,so if you like this look and you have tried it on, just send me a pic, I would love to see how it all turned out.
You don't have to use the exact same brands I've used, you just need something similar.

Here is a link where you can watch it:

A gothic inspired tutorial

Hi my dearies,

I like the goth vibe in my makeup routine, so here is the look I have created. 
A romantic, yet gloomy and dark one, called "the Edgar look" as a tribute to one of my favorites poets from all time, Edgar Allan Poe.

Enjoy!

Clinique Tracy Reese set review

Hi my sweethearts,

I always love makeup kits because they have many lovely products for me to try on, before I purchase the bigger versions of them.
So, what I got here was an 8 pieces set, from Clinique.  I will be reviewing 2 of them today and will get back to you with the others next week. I just want to try them on and see how they go with my skin, before I will make my review.

I never have tried their makeup so I was so excited when I saw it online, and ordered it without any second thoughts. It cost me around 40$ and I really think this kit totally worth its money.
Here's how it looks:


It contains:
- A a small eye and cheek palette with 2 amazing eye shadows (23 rock violet and 33 graphite), a small sized mascara (High impact), a soft pressed powder blush (01 new clover) and 2 applicators (one for the eye shadows and one for applying the blush).
 - A beautiful long lasting lipstick "Silvery moon"
- A small sized eye cream "Repairwear laser focus"
- A  hand cream "Even better"
- "Take the day off " make-up remover for lids, lashes and lips
- "Dramatically different moisturizing lotion" for dry to very dry skin
- An eyelash curler
- A colored cosmetic bag

The palette
This small palette would fit in every bag and it is perfect for touch ups.
Even though its quite small, it has plenty of product in it. 


 The 2 eye shadows are highly pigmented and very easy to work with. They both have a subtle shimmer and they last soooo long, even without any eye primer. They re on a cool lavender and dark purple tone but they work amazingly well on any eye color.

You could build a perfect smokey evening look, and even a day look, if you are applying less product.

The blush is a warm natural peachy-pink color that gives cheeks a radiant glow. Has a silky, fresh finish, too.
The mascara (on black) is giving instant volume and length to your lashes. If you want to learn more about it, I have made a more detailed review to this product on my older entries.

The lipstick

This is a pearly cool lilac color. Not so pigmented, but so rich in texture. It makes your lips velvety, hidrated and innocent looking. Has a subtle scent, and can last long on the lips.
It is ideal for natural looks or in combination with smokey bold eyes.


Ok gals, that is all for now, like I said in the begining of this post, I will review the other products in my next tutorial, until then...
Stay beautiful !

Love ,
Sophie

Estée Lauder's 'Perfectly Clean' Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask review

Hi ladies,

We all want flawless skin with barely no effort, don't we?
So, I am going to introduce you a product that works great on every skin type and does wonders with your complexion.

I have a mixed skin type and  have tried many products for daily cleansing but they failed my expectations.
I must confess that I hate when I am coming home tired at evenings, to spend too much time removing the makeup. I also hate makeup wipes, they just seem to clean the face, but actually they leave a greasy result instead. The makeup products seem to be gone but they are not, they are kept in the pores causing blemishes, wrinkles and acne.
So I prefer to wash my face, for just 2 minutes, fast and efficient.

This product will not only do that, but can be used as a purifying mask twice a week.
It smells amazing, like an expensive luxury product. Its texture is white and velvety soft, and you don't need to much product when you are cleaning your face with it. Just put a bean-sized amount on your fingers and blend it on wet skin. It will form the most dense foam ever, you won't believe it.
Your skin will look radiant, luminous, perfect cleaned - you will feel this deep in the pores. No greasiness, or other unpleasant sensations.
You can do this two times a day : mornings and evenings.
As a mask, just apply the product on  dry skin and leave it for 2- 3 minutes. Rinse and you are ready to go.

Other facts :
- Dermatologist tested
- Ophthalmologist tested
- When applying avoid the eye area though, it stings.
- It costs 25 $ online, for 5 Oz. (150 ml).

Will definitely repurchase this product.

Ok, gals that is all for today, 
Stay beautiful.

Love,
Sophie
