One Brush Face Makeup Tutorial !!!

Hey, everyone! So I posted a new video on my channel. It's on how you can do your whole face makeup with one brush. I gave some dupe options in the describtion box bellow. I really hope people, especially the young girls, get the message, that you don't need a lot of brushes to do your makeup. I plan on doing a similar video for the eyes, so keep an eye out for that. I really hope you enjoy this video. Until the next time, goodbye! Have a nice day and be positive! 

Fashion Haul!

Hi, guys! So my first video just went up. It's a collective fashion/clothing haul. I really hope it's interesting to watch. Have a nice day!

L'Oréal Gel Liner First Impression

Hey, everyone! Today I wanted to share with you my first impression on the Loreal gel eyeliner. 
I hope you enjoy it.
Let's just start with the packaging. Holly packaging!!!

1. Packaging:
This product feels and looks so luxurious and nice. I think the gold lid and the plain glass container with the gold logo look absolutely fantastic and professional. The lid shuts very securely, so the product wouldn't dry out. You get 2.8 grams of product, which I believe is a good amount. Just to compare, the Essence one is 3 ml. I compared the Loreal one to the Maybelline gel liner (I may feature it in another post) and the containers are absolutely the same, although the lids are different.

2. Application:
The liner applies super smoothly and easily. I apply it with a small nail art brush and create the wing with an angled brush. I don't like the brush they give you with it, but it's usable and some people like it very much.

3. Colour intensity:
I like to pick up a little bit of product on my brush to make sure I have control over the thickness of my line, but this liner performed pretty well. I would say I went over a few spots a second time, but this is maybe because I don't put very much on. It is not patchy though. Otherwise I don't have any complains.

4. Staying power:
One word. HARDCORE! Not as much as my Essence one, but that one is sadly discontinued. The liner stayed so well, that it took a lot of scrubing on the eyes to take it off. I will totally use an oil-based makeup remover or a staight up oil next time.

5.Pros & Cons

Pros: 
- Nice secure packaging
- Intense black
- Not patchy
- Good staying power
- Not too high of a price
- Brush included
- You don't need much product

Cons:
- Maybe not black enough for some people
- Hard to remove
- The brush is not good for beginners (in my opinion)
- Takes a few minutes to dry on the eye

Face of the day Monday!

Hey everybody! Today I thought I would share with you my makeup for today. I went shopping, so I will post a haul video on my youtube channel LetItBePretty very soon. I am super excited about that!

I went for quite a classic look with a coral lip.

On my eyes I used:

1. I put the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pink Gold all over my eyelid as a base.

2. I layered it with the pinky golden shade labeled as "Eyelid" from the Wet N Wild Comfort zone palette. This kind of created a rose gold colour on my lid. 

3. Then I followed up with the Inglot 342 Eyeshadow right in the crease and slightly above it. 

4. To further blend, I took colour №357 by Inglot (the warm brown) and applied it above the crease.

5. I defined the outer part of my eye using the off-black shade "Crease" in the Wet N Wild palette. 

6. The cat-eye was created with the Maybelline Master Precise liner in black. 

7. I applied the Loreal Volumissime Waterproof mascara to finish everything off. 

8. My eyebrows are filled in with the Essence Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde.

Just a quick list of the face products I used: 

1. Catrice Camoflage cream concealer (I need a new one so bad!)

2. Inglot Cream Concealer 

3. Maybelline Dream Matte powder

4. Catrice Sun Glow Bronzer

5. Essence Blush up! Blush 

The lipstick I wore is the Rimmel by Kate Moss #16.

Beauty Blender DUPE!!!

Hello! Today I have something very exciting, a dupe ALERT! I don't own the original Beauty Blender, but I am confident enough to say that this sponge comes super close to it.

It's very porous.

It's from the brand EBELIN, which you can find in the drugstore DM. The makeup sponge looks exactly like the original Beauty Blender.

The price of it is AH-MAZING! Only around 3 Euros.

The sponge is pretty small and hard when it's completely dry, but when it's damp, it doubles it's size and becomes super squishy and soft. It applies makeup beautifully, but make sure to squeeze it very well before using it, so it's not wet.

I give it two Thums Up! and I use it quite often when I do my makeup.

If you can get a hold of it, definitely try it out, it is worth it.

Review: Catrice Liquid Liner

Hello and welcome to Review Thursday. Today I thought I would review the Catrice liquid liner in the colour Dating Joe Black. I heard of it thanks to NikkiTutorials, who raved about it in her recent videos.

1. Packaging
This eyeliner has a very nice and sleek packaging. It's black with white writing on it, I love how simple it is. It's quite slim and the handle is quite long. You get 1,7 ml/0.05 fl.oz. of product.

2. Application
The applicator is a very thin felt tip. It is pretty easy to apply, but I have to be very careful and wipe the tip off, so I can get a thin line. The liner is very smooth and applies very evenly. It creates the finest flicks, that's why I love it.




3. Colour Intesity
This eyeliner is the blackest! As Nikkie said, it looks like chalk, but good chalk! It is super matte and very intense.




4. Staying power
I would say the staying power is pretty good for a normal person, who doesn't have oily eyelids.The liner is definitely not waterproof as you will see on the pictures bellow. It usually doesn't smudge on me, except when my eye is watering. It smudges slightly if you rub on it.

5. Pros:
- Very Black
- Absolutely Matte

Swatches after 10 seconds under the water (no rubbing)

- Fine tip for precise applications
- Amazing price
- Long handle for sturdiness
- Stays on for a long time (It's a non waterproof liner)

Rubbed immediately after with dry finger

6. Cons:
- May smudge on some people
- Only 1 shade (black)
- A lot of product on the tip
- Liquid liners are harder to apply

After 6 hours wear

Empties Part I (Face Products)

Hey, guys! I am finally writing an empties blog post. I have been collecting trash (quite literally) for probably over a year and I am very happy to be able to throw everything out now! It took me so long to start a blog even though I have been very interested in blogging, so I am very excited to step out of my shell. 

I have a lot to talk about so let's just get started!

=> L'ORÉAL Micellar Solution 

This is an awesome makeup remover that is more suitable for oilier skins. It removes regular eye makeup pretty easily, but this micellar water would not be able to disolve waterproof mascara. I even find it hard to remove gel eyeliner or longlasting pencil-liners with it. Also, it leaves sort of a film on my face and I always feel the need to rince it off, but I don't have a problem with that. You should always wash your face at night, right?

=> Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

This used to be my favourite, go-to face cream. I mean, obviously! I have nothing bad to say about this product. It is quite thick and very hydrating. It has a slight scent to it, which doesn't bother me. I have however started to use a fragrance free moisturizer, that is more light-weight. I would say this is a very good cream for people with dry and more mature skin. I think that it is a little too heavy for teenage skin. 

=> Purederm Nose Strips

I feel like I am the only one who doesn't see a difference after using nose strips. These ones are cheaper, but normally these kinds of products are quite pricey. I used the whole packet and I am not doing to repurchase. For me it's just a waste of money and hope that it would work. Nothing can beat a good cosmetologist session. 

=> Nivea SOS Lip Relief Balm

This is a really nice lip treatment. It's thick and a little tingly, which always makes me think it's working. But it seriously does make my lips very nice and soft. It comes out of the squeezy tube like a clear gel. 

=> Essence I Love Stage Eye Base

A very nice affordable eyeshadow primer. It really does keep the makeup from moving. At the end of the day you would probably get some creasing, but it works great for the most part. This product has some coverage to it as well which is awesome if you have visible veins on your lids. A little bit goes a long way, so it lasted me a long time. 

=> Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer 52

I love this! It's my favourite liquid under eye concealer. This shade is waay too dark for me, in fact 51 is too dark as well. This concealer covers like a dream, looks super smooth under the eyes, lasts a long time and it's in a queezy tube which makes it very sanitary and easy to use. Thumbs up!

=> Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This is a pretty sheer concealer with reflective qualities and very smooth texture. It's great to wear on one of those "no makeup, but still wanna look put together" days, or if you don't have very dark circles. I am not planning on repurchasing, but it was nice to try and definitely a nice quality concealer. 

=> Essence All About Matte Powder

Another one of my favourites! This powder is very finely milled and looks absolutely gorgeous and velvety on the skin. It's not overly matte, but it sets everything in place. I have grown to like loose powders even more than pressed ones. The trick to them is to leave half of the safety seal on, so you get less powder on your floor or table.

=> Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

I really don't like this mascara. I just think the brush is very weird and it doesn't do much for my lashes. It really clumps them and I hate that. I have seen it work for other people, but I am not one of them. 

=> L'ORÉAL Voluminous Waterproof Mascasa

I don't even think I need to talk about this anymore. Clearly, I have repurchased it many times and I will keep coming back to it. It's just awesome! Creates volume without clumps, it has an awesome brush, it holds my curl, seperates the lashes and it almost makes them look fluffy. Adore!!!

=> Essence I Love Extreme Volume Mascara

My secret to ah-mazing false looking lashes. This layered on top of the Voluminous makes the ultimate eyelash thickness (if that is a thing lol). I can't even get over how cheap this mascara is, which makes it even better. I love it!  

=> Impala Precise Eyeliner Pen

If you can get your hands on this eyeliner, I highly recommend it. It is very black and the tip dries out slower than any other pen I have tried. It stays on for a long time and it is super affordable. 

=> Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever

I did enjoy this pencil. It twists up, so you don't have to sharpen it. It's very black and pretty easy to apply, not too soft ot too hard. This liner lasts a few hours, but nowhere near as long as my Avon SuperShock or the Impala Silicone pencils. They just don't budge. I like the other colours in the line, too.

And that is Part I of my empties! I hope this was helpful.
