Favorite Red Lip Tutorials

images via weheartit

Maybe it's because Valentine's Day is right around the corner or maybe it's just because nothing adds that hint of fab when feeling flab, a dash of red instantly revives any look. Feeling washed out when tired? add a bold red lip to be dashing! Today's tutorials are some of my favorites when it comes to mastering that perfect long lasting lip and are very similar in a way and different in the tiny details, best is to try which one works best for you!

11) Wish Wish Wish

Carrie's signature look always feels the same yet it looks different! Whether it's the different shade of lipsticks or just hints of different eye shadows, her looks always easily transform from a touch of classic into a note of fresh or being vintage romantic!

NIVEA BB Cream

Nivea BB Cream, photo by me


These day's most of us can rarely find the time for a 10-step skin care routine in the morning! Me absolutely being one of them!
NIVEA has send me their new BB Cream, BB being short for "Blemish Balm", for me to try out. The tinted daydream promises deep hydration, to smooth the skin and reduce the pores, to cover blemishes, a natural color, a soft glowing skin and SPF 10 sun protection.

I have been using the Nivea BB Cream for a few days now, doing double duty as both a moisturizer and foundation and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised! The cream actually does what my Primer is supposed to do (and obviously doesn't). My skin ended up looking radiant and smooth with a very beautiful healthy rosy glow like Cameron Diaz on the cover of British Vogue December Issue!

The BB cream is enriched with vitamins C, mineral pigments and Provitamine B5 giving covering while nourishing at the same time.
The cream comes in two tints, the BB Cream Light for fair skin and the BB Cream
Medium for Tan skin.

xoxo
ps. Tomorrow I will post the DIY Baroque Tights Tutorial!

All About Eye Lashes

After sharing my favorite Hair and Eyeliner tutorials (and my own Hair tutorial) I will move on to ...... the Lashes!

All I know is that when it comes to Eye Lashes you will have to go through a trial and error phase for sure (of course I'm talking about the Falsies) and I have seen Trial and Error in Falsies! I have seen it all from friends showing glue roots and to fake lashes hanging half way the cheek (I can totally imagine this happening on the perfect Date) But don't worry..  I did find some tutorials to live by!

1) Curl your Eye Lashes!

Curling your Lashes would be commandment number 1.
Did you know you can curl your eyelashes after applying your mascara? It's something a lot of people like to do for a look that stays all day (you would need to wait at least 5 min for the mascara to dry)

the secret to Lash Curling:

2) Find Your Perfect Mascara!

This could very well become a Forrest Gump scene where I could spent the next hour or so naming all the Mascaras, there is Volumizing Mascara, Lengthening Mascara, Fiber Mascara, Blue Mascara,  Pink Mascara... very well, you get the idea...
Fact is that the shape of the wand and the type of Mascara do make a difference, whether you want a natural look, longer lashes or Full looking lashes. Look at the Beauty Departments "War of the Wands" post to see what a difference the wand alone makes! You will need to find Your perfect Mascara!

3) False Eye Lashes

Oh the fun! The reason I am all for it is picture number 6 in my collage which means I would need to master the individual lashes and would need to master how to apply them on the bottom line (the Beauty Departments Mini Falsies and Mastering Falsies tutorials are a great way to start)

Shalimar Initial

Guerlain Shalimar Initial

My First Shalimar

It was an absolute honour to be asked by Guerlain to capture the essence of Shalimar Initial into a personal photoshoot inspired by the feminine and intimate universe of the perfume.

The scent is wonderfully fresh and modern and incredibly sensual and I became mesmerized by the beauty of the perfume the minute I opened the box and my room became filled with the lush notes of Shalimar.

The sensual scent is truly as addictive as the feel of cashmere caressing bare skin.

xoxo

Thank you Guerlain and Ykone for this wonderful opportunity.
