MAC Bare Again with Patina

This is a make-up look I did a while ago. I used one of my fave eyeshadows at the moment, MAC Patina:

I used Patina on my lower lid & Buckwheat in the crease (both from the MAC warm Snowglobe) & Vanilla to highlight. Then I lined with Midnight Flurry & smudged with Buckwheat to make the line softer.

On my cheeks I used MAC "Warm Soul" mineralize blush & on my lips "Bare Again" Sheen Supreme lipstick.

Tiny Flowers & such

Hi everyone! I'm wishing you all a lovely Valentine's Day :-)


I'd like to show you another outfit post! This is an outfit I wore about a week ago or so:

It was extremely comfy, but as it was a really cold day over here, I chose to wear a black cardigan (not shown on the pics) with it so that I didn't need to feel too cold.


My shirt en detail:

My fave boots:

Shirt: S.Oliver
Top: Esprit
Leggings: American Apparel
Boots: Deichmann
Jewelry: Wanderlust


My new Wanderlust rings. It was my first order with them & I'm very happy with it. The rings are really good quality & arrived very quickly (it took merely a week from Malaysia):

My eye make-up with "Sin" & "Darkhorse" from the UD Naked palette:

Lynnderella "Love Potion No.99"

Today I'm wearing another polish from Lynnderella, it's named "Love Potion No.99". It's a purple filled with purple, pink, fuchsia & lilac hex & square glitter as well as some holo dust.

As the base is rather sheer, I decided to layer "Love Potion No.99" over OPI "Ink", a dark blue-based purple with tiny blue, purple & pink glitterflecks. The two match perfectly.

Furthermore, I did a matching purple eye makeup, too, for which I used the NARS "Jolie Poupee" eyeshadow duo:

Lynnderella "Mysterious Ways"

Yesterday I got a package from a dear friend full of Lynnderella polishes *swoons* (Thank you again. C. :-))
If you aren't familiar with Lynnderella, please take a look at her blog: http://lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com/
She's a one-woman-show & makes the best glitter polishes on the planet. Currently, you can buy them at llarowe's online shop. But they always sell out so fast, you gotta be quick to get a hold of the ones you're lemming.


I decided to wear "Mysterious Ways" which is grey with a violet undertone (that's pretty faint IMO). It's loaded with holographic squares, hexagons, diamonds & dust. There's also lots of grey, multi-colored, silver & white shimmer. 

So you see it's a pretty complex color, but also very sheer, so it's best to layer it over another color. I decided to wear "Mysterious Ways" over Essie "Lapis of Luxury", a cornflower blue. "Mysterious Ways" makes "Lapis pf Luxury" more dusty which I really like, but please see for yourself:

Bobbi Brown "Nude Peach"

With their new spring collection "Neons & Nudes" Bobbi Brown released two new blushes, Nude Pink & Nude Peach (which both will be a permanent addition to their blush line). Being such a sucker for anything peach, I needed to purchase the Nude Peach blush & believe me: It's gorgeous!

Like the name suggests it's a nude peach color which looks very light in the pan, but has great color payoff once applied to the cheeks.

The color isn't completely matte (even though Bobbi Brown declares it as such), but has fine shimmer which isn't obvious on the cheeks (you won't look glitter-y at all), but adds some depth. 
It applies beautifully without any streakyness & gives a healthy glow. 


As the proud owner ;-D of a zillion+ peach blushes, I tried my best to find any dupes for "Nude Peach", but didn't come up with any :-o 
It's really different enough from any other peach blushes I have in my collection to justify keeping it in my stash.


Here I compared it to two MAC blushes, "Pinch o'Peach" & "Melba", but even though the difference isn't that obvious when you look at them in their pans:

It really shows when you swatch them side by side:

While Pinch o'Peach is more pink, Melba is clearly more orange than Nude Peach.


If you're into peach blushes as much as I am & are looking for something that's perfect all year around without out being too bright or summer-y, you might want to give "Nude Peach" a try ;-)

MAC "Red Dwarf"

I'd like to show y'all a new lipstick that I bought yesterday. It's from the current MAC Daphne Guinness color story that was released in Germany about a week ago.


The color I'm talking about is called Red Dwarf & is a pro longwear lipcreme. MAC says it last for a good 12 hours & even though it's a longwear formula, it'll keep your lips soft & hydrated even without a topcoat.


While I'm not sure it'll last for as long as MAC says, I can assure you that it lasts very well. It'll stay on your lips even if you eat a ice cream bowl & some french fries just like I did today :-D
I don't think it keeps your lips as soft as most non-longwear lipsticks do, but it didn't dry out my lips like e.g. MAC's pro longwear lip colors (unless I constantly re-apply the topcoat) do, either.


Red Dwarf is described as blue pink which is fairly accurate, but I'd say it's more of a blue toned raspberry pink than an actual pink - if that makes any sense ;-D It's not too dark, so you can wear it during the day, but of course also for a night out. 


When you apply it to the lips, you'll notice that it has a wet consistance which quickly dries down to a semi-matte finish.


It's a gorgeous color which I highly recommend checking out if you're into unusual lip colors like I am ;-) 
I can see this working on a variety of skintones.


This is how it looks on my rather pigmented lips:
