88 Shimmer palette!

Hey everyone!

I got my 88 ultra shimmer palette a while ago! You can get this palette at http://www.coastalscents.com/, but I live in Europe, so I got it at http://www.zoeva-shop.de . Zoeva is an online store in Germany, they ship really fast, if you live in Europe: check their site out.

I've been wanting this palette for a really long time, but just didn't got it yet. But now I finally have it! I am so happy with my luvly 88 shimmer palette!

My sister got the contour & blush palette, which is lovely too! I will post swatches if she is o.k. with it, but I'll have to ask her first.

Anyways..

With flash: (omg check those amazing colors!)

Swatches:

( I used some too faced shadow insurance as a base, and just applied the colors dry)

Nice shimmer!

GOSH! Look how pigmented the colors are!!!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this AMAZING (o.k. I think that you get my point.. :p) palette!

You can make some crazy bold looks with these colors, but you could also go for a more natural look, since it also has some brown and natural colors.

I already made an awesome look with this palette, more about that later!

Thank you for your time,

Love, Hannah

Review: The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom puree bodylotion

Hey everyone!

I went to the body shop, and I got a body lotion, and here is the review:

What the website says about it:

Best if you want to: Delight your skin using a lightweight moisturizer that softens, smoothes and hydrates with the whisper of a sensual floral scent.
Best for: normal skin
Notes: Fuji apple, chinese magnolia, osmanthus flower, star jasmine, japanese cherry blossom, japanese persimmon, sandalwood, hinoki wood, fruity musk

How it works:
Japanese cherry blossom extract is traditionally renowned for its soothing properties.
Community Trade organic olive oil effectively smoothes, softens and conditions skin.

My opinion:

First of all, I have to say that it smells delicious! :)

It is a very fresh scent, great for the summer.

I really like that it comes with a pump, that way you won't use too much.

It has a really weird consistency, when you pump, it is a really light lotion, and it has a light pink/white color. But when you spread it out, it becomes clear, and is very watery.

It has a little bit of a cooling effect, it is very fresh.

And just one pump is enough for your entire arm!

It really is a lightweight moisturiser. :)

What I don't like about it is that your hands can feel a bit sticky after using it.

So: A great body lotion to use in the summer. Because it smells so fresh and has a bit of a cooling effect. Great if you are looking for a lightweight bodylotion.

Rate: (10 highest, 1 lowest)
8,5

I hope that this was helpful for you! Byebye!

MAC haul!! (fix+ and dainty)

Hey everyone!
I went to the MAC counter, and got some stuff!

In the bag:



What did I got?:



FIX+ and mineralized blush in 'dainty'

Dainty: (closed and opened)

It is such a pretty pink color with a little golden shimmer. What the MAC website says about it:

Light yellow pink with gold pearl

I absolutely adore this color, I think that it might be my favorite blush at the moment! :)

Swatch:

And I also (finally!) got the fix+ spray!

What the MAC website says about it:

An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!

I love to spray this over my face when I'm done with my make up, to fix it. It also great when you apply your eyeshadow with a little bit of this on your brush. Because of the glycerin that is in it, the color becomes a lot more intense and vibrant.

And I love love love the scent of this stuff! It smells so nice! :)

Well.. that was it for now, ttyl!

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
