TAG: Would you rather? - Beauty Edition

This is my Would you rather!!! I tag every one. :)


1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and no make-up?

- Messy hair definitely! I have natural curly hair and they're always a little messy, but I like them.

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

- Have my eyelashes fall out! I could always use false lashes! I don't really like shaved eyebrows, they look weird to me.

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

- Mac!!!! I love Mac, can't help it. Sephora It's a so so for me.

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

- Oh my Gosh! Liploss/lipliner for sure!

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

- Probably an overdone blush, just because I hate when you can see the foundation line.

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

- Biker shorts are kinda cool? ahah

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?

- Weird tan lines that can't be covered...At least It's a natural tan. It would never ever happen to me because I don't get tanned and I don't like to stay out in the sun, It's really bad for the skin.

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?

- A bad hair color, you can always re do them in a short period of time. Hair take time to grow.

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?

- Twitter because I don't really like it...It's useless for me. Youtube is pure entertainment.

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?

- Makeup brushes, mascara is too important, It makes a whole lot of a difference.


Do you like the tag? I hope so.

See you next time.

My Top 10 Favourite Mac Cosmetics Eyeshadows

Hey guys! Today I wanted to talk about my favorite Mac eyeshadows. I have quite a few of them so I know what I'm talking about. I'll try to choose only the eyeshadows from the permanent line for you.


1- Mylar: This is my favourite highlight ever. It is an off white color and It's a matte. I love it because It blends so well with any kind of eyeshadow.

2- Satin Taupe: It is such a unique color...A dark brown with a hint of purple, just gorgeous. I like to use it all over the lid for smokey eyes but It is beautiful also in the crease.

3- Shadowy Lady: Love love love purples!! This is a dark brownish purple and It's awesome in the crease. The only downside is that It isn't too pigmented.

4- Cranberry: the most beautiful red I've ever seen. It is a true cranberry color. I use it mostly in the crease.

5- Vex: This is difficult to describe, it is such a weird color, an off white, almost grey with pink undertones. It can be used as highlight or on the lid.

6- Deep Truth: My favourite blue ever. It is a frost midnight blue. Just amazing, especially on the lower lashes.

7- Bronze: A beautiful bronze color. I use it for smokey eyes or with natural looks in the crease.
8- Expensive Pink: It is a orange coral color with pink undertones. It gives the eyes such a natural glow and it can be used on the lid with a darker color like cranberry in the crease, or also in the crease with a lighter color on the lid like Rice Paper.

9- Juxt: A light lime green. I adore this color, It is like having an highlighter on the lid, because it is so shiny and stunning. I would pair it with a darker green like Bottle Green.

10- Stars n' Rockets: A blue toned pink with a hint of purple. This color is like a duochrome, It can look more purple under certain lights or it can look more pink. I pair it with Vex on the lid or as a lid color with a darker blue or purple.


Hope you liked it!!!

Mac Cosmetics: Fabulous Felines Collection - SuperSlick Liquid Eyeliner in Signature Blue

If you saw my last post about the Smoky Heir eyeliner from Mac I can assure you that the Signature Blue is the exact same thing, just a different color.



Upside:
- It lasts all day! It doesn't fade or smudge.
- It's easy to use and very very precise
- The color is beautiful, it is a deep midnight electric blue with light blue micro glitter inside!
- The handle is awesome, it gives you a lot of control.

Downside: -If you want a rich rich color you have to layer it a couple of time.

In the pictures you can also see the look I created with it. That pic was taken after 6 hours I put it on and as you can see, It lasted pretty well!



The products I used for the look are:
- Nyx Eyeshadow base in Skintone
- Mac eyeshadow in Femme Fi on the lid
- Mac eyeshadow in Swiss Chocolate in the crease
- Mac eyeshadows in Vapour and Mylar on the browbone
- Kiko Ultra Tech Mascara
- Max Factor kohl eyeliner in Natural Glaze on the waterline

I hope this post was helpful.

See you soon

She told me that this new formula is a lot better than the old one, but I can't compare it because I never tried their liquid eyeliners. I bought Smoky Heir and Signature Blue.

Upside:
- It lasts all day! It doesn't fade or smudge.
- It's easy to use and very very precise
- The color is beautiful, it is a deep purple with pink and blue micro glitter inside!
- The handle is awesome, it gives you a lot of control.

Downside:

Mac Dare to Wear Lipglass in So Bad

Hello girls and guys, today I want to do a review on the new lipglass by Mac the Dare to Wear collection. I have the one in So Bad and it is a beautiful peachy coral with pink undertones and glitters.

Upside: The color is beautiful and under the sunlight it looks like a peachy sparkly pink, It is similar to Jazzed lipstick by Mac, the one from the In The Groove collection. I've never had a lipgloss like it.

Downside: It's incredibly sticky O_O I hate that feeling on my lips, It's drying. The glitters are not chunky like the dazzleglasses but when the lipglass wears off, they stick on your lips and they are hard to take off. This lipglass isn't that shiny, so if you like a satin finish you'll like it (I like shiny glosses).

I would rate the lipglass 3 on a scale from 1 to 5.

Hope that was helpful. You can find the pics and the swatches taken with natural light above.

See you soon

E.L.F Cream Eyeliner in Midnight - Review and Swatches

Hello people! I tried the new cream eyeliner from E.l.f cosmetics in the shade Midnight. It is a navy blue, a very pretty color. So far I like it, but it isn't the best cream eyeliner I own.

It takes layering to get an intense effect and it applies better over an eyeshadow rather than on the bare skin.
For the price (US: 3$ Eu: 4 € Uk: 3.50£) is a good product but isn't in my e.l.f favourites.


I hope this post was helpful.
