My everyday minerals blushes

Hey everyone!

I own four everyday minerals blushes:

Opened:




Swatches:

1= snuggle
2= jingle bells
3=all smiles
4= nick nack





I think that I like Nick Nack and Snuggle the best, they are both really cute pink colors.
All smiles is a bit more orange/peachy, and jingle bells (a free sample with christmas) is a very shimmery pink/purple.

I really LOVE everyday minerals blushes, they have a lot of colors, shimmer, matte, sheen, etc. I think that there is a great color for everyone! :)

Coastal Scents haul!

Hey everyone!

I got my coastal scents haul. I already own some of their brushes, and I must say: they are great!

















What did I got? (from left to right)
- Large paddle face brush ($9,95)
- White angled liner brush ($2,19)
- Oval camoflage brush ($3,49)
- Pink synthetic oval foundation brush ($3,99)

I am really happy with the stuff I got!

Review:
Large paddle face brush: This one really is LARGE. I think that that is really cool. You could use it for powder to set your foundation, or even bronzer. One thing that I didn't like about this brush: it isn't very soft, it is a bit harsh for your face. I was a bit dissapointed in that, because I expected much from this one. But overall it is a nice big fluffy powder brush!
White angled liner brush: This is such a great little brush for eyeliner if you want to make a thin line! I used to apply my fluidline with a angled brush, but it was a bit too big, and didn't really work for me. But now I have this one, applying my fluidline is a lot easyer! Great brush!
Oval camouflage brush: This is a great concealer brush. It is synthetic, and I really like how stiff it is. Also a very nice brush.
Pink synthetic oval foundation brush: I have not tried this one with my foundation yet, but it is also great to apply your concealer with. I like to use it with mineral concealer. It is a very soft and awesome brush.


I hop that this was helpful, xoxo Hannah

Everyday minerals samples swatches!

Hey everyone!

So.. I got my EDM sample kit a while ago, but just totally forgot to make pictures. So here they are anyway;
















I ordered this kit because I wanted to pick the right foundation color so that I could order a BIG kit again. Unfortunately, none of the colors worked for me.
But it's ok, because I'm using liquid foundation now anyway.

I also ordered the Beige- sandy fair foundation, but I mixed that one with some other colors in a mixing jar to get the right color for me. That way, if I want to wair mineral foundation (if I want to give my skin some rest) I still can! :)


Swatches:
1= Buff- ivory (foundation)
2= Cool- fair medium (foundation)
3= Intensive fair (concealer)
4= Nick Nack (blush)


I do like the intensive fair concealer, it is great for under eye concealing! And the nick nack blush is gorgeous! It is a very nice pinky color, I think that it has a bit of shimmer in it, but I don't think that that will show on your face.


Everyday minerals is a great brand, and if you want to try it, I really recommend to order a sample kit on their website.

Review Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I found my new love.. My lovely Revlon Colorstay Foundation!
Before this one, I used only mineral powder (everyday minerals).. But I love this stuff so much better!!
I wanted a foundation that offers me a little bit more coverage, because I have some acne, and also some old acne scars.. And trust me: this foundation absolutely is what I was looking for!
I have it in the formula for combination/oily skin, this one offers SPF 6.



















+ Pro's:
-Great coverage
-Not too expensive
-A lot of colors available
-Longlasting
-Doesn't break me out

-SPF 6

- Con's:
-Dries really really fast, so you have to do one part of your face at a time
-The glass bottle doesn't have a pump, so sometimes there comes way to much out of the bottle for your face

I have it in shade 02: Buff and I think that I'm about NC20, but I'm not sure because I have never used MAC fix fluid.. I'm sorry.. :(

I also have the Revlon colorstay pressed powder (in light) and it works great with the foundation! It will help to set your make-up, and overall: I LOVE THIS DUO! I use them every single day! :)

So, if you were looking for a great liquid foundation: check out the revlon colorstay!

xoxo Hannah

My CherryCulture haul + review

Hey Everyone!
Here it is: my CherryCulture haul!!




























































From left to right:
Top: Rouge cream blush in "Rose Petal"- Round lipstick in "Electra" - Girls Round Lipgloss in "Whipped"
Bottom:
LA Colors 5 Color Metallic Eyeshadow Palette in "Tea Time"

























Swatch:
I used Shadow Insurance under it.


Review:
I really like all these products. I haven't tried the lashes yet, I'm kinda new into using them. Will try it later.
The cream blush is a little to dark for me, but it could be a nice color for in the summer.
And the "electra" lipstick is THE PERFECT RED COLOR! I was hoping for it to be this color! I think that it would look great if you are going to a party.
The whipped lipgloss is also a nice color, you could use with basically everything, because it is kind of a nude color.
The LA colors palette is also a great buy. It was only $3,- . You could use this one to create a natural everyday look.
And about the free lipgloss: It smells/tastes like cherry, what I kinda like. It is just a red sheer lipgloss. Actually, I like it, although it was free :p
You get it with every order, but with my last order I didn't get it. But that was okay, because else I would have 3 of them by now..
I hope that this was helpfull!
Kiss Kiss,
Hannah

EDM sample kit

Hey everyone!
I use everyday minerals for about a year now, but it looks like my skin has a different color now. I am currently using a pressed powder foundation by EDM, in the color: "fairly light neutral".
But I dropped it and the powder is totally ruined! It broke.. :(

I do still have my old loose foundations.. In the colors "sunkissed fair" & "medium", but they are too dark for me right now. I don't know why, they used to be just fine.. :s


I thought: maybe I should try a new loose foundation, so I started searching for all the foundation samples that I collected in time, and they were all totally the wrong color! I don't know what to do anymore.. :p


So.. what did I do?? I ordered a FREE sample kit again! :D (you only have to pay for shipping)

You can choose:
x 3 foundations
x 1 blush
x 1 concealer


I chose:
Cool-Fair Medium (Intensive)
Beige-Sandy Fair (Intensive)
Buff-Ivory (Intensive)
Nick Nack Blush
Intensive Concealer Fair




I really really hope that one of those colors will work out for me!
If there is one that does, I can order a big kit again! YEAY! :D

















For everyone who wants to try out mineral makeup/foundation:

How I wash my brushes

Hi everybody! :)

I made a video about how I wash my brushes! ^^

I use the MAC brush cleanser, because I prefer that, but you could also use baby shampoo, and just wash them the same way.

I will also upload the video on my youtube account.

Hope you like it! :)
