I love how these pics show off the glitter of the Dazzleglass lipgloss, because I rarely catch it on photo.

I love this lipstick. It's a lipstick in lipgloss format that is super easy to apply and dries down to a semi-matte finish that just stays put. This is my go-to colour for red lips, mostly because it's so esy to apply. Check it out if you ever come across a Nouba counter!

Ok, so the coffeecup didn't give that great a swatch pic, did it? But it was cute, no?

Below is a picture of me wearing MAC lipliner in "Cherry" and Yves Saint Laurent rouge pur coutoure lipstick in shade #20.



Foundation - Ella Rose minerals
Blush - Mad minerals pigment "modest pink"
Brows - Illamasqua eye brow cake "motto"
Eyes - MAC paint pot "bare study" and Mad minerals pigment "peach", MAC fluidline "blacktrack" and MAC plushlash mascara.

If you follow Maggie Makeup Addict on Facebook, you've already seen the image but not heard the story.

A friend of mine came back after a three month internship in New York. She was away much too long for my liking, but it was amazing to hear her stories... I'm starting to feel the itch to move again!
Anyway, when my friend came back she brought back a few goodies for me. One of them was an YSL lipstick (that I had seen on another friend!). This lipstick shade is limited edition and is only sold at Sephora in the US, so you can imagine how happy I was that she brought it back for me!
I will show you pics of the packaging and write up a review, but first you'll get a swatch from the happy coffeecup below.

Just sayin'...

Last year I ordered just about every nail polish from China Glaze summer collection, however I don't think I've used "towel boy toy" until now... it's a lovely shade, but there are plenty of others out there just like it.

Remember this Beyonce look I made last year?

I thought it was time for a re-run of the look. Last time it felt quite 80's, but this time I paired the makeup look with a checkered full skirt dress, looking very cutesy instead :)

This time I used MAC paint pot in "bare study" as an eyeshadow base and highlighter (looking at the pic's I'd recommend using a base that conceals a bit more). I used MAC "radial pink" eye shadow in the crease and along the inner corner of the eye up to the brow (as you can see here), then Sugarpill "buttercupcake" eyeshadow all over the lid. The eyeliner is a gel liner from MAC, just like the blush, foundation, brows and mascara. The white eyeliner is H&M and on the lips I'm only wearing a simple chapstick.

Have you seen that Illamasqua so kinly have created a comparison chart so that you easily can find out what shade of their Skin Base foundation you should order? I absolutely love their initiative to create this chart. Thank you, Illamasqua!

This weekend I celebrated 4th of July with my American friends. The theme for the party was to dress either in all red, all blue or all white. I chose red, and blended orange and blue-based red nail polish to get the perfect tomato red colour to match my dress.
I know you can't really tell the difference in the pics, but from each finger to the next there is a slight alteration of the colour, going from an almost pink toned red to the final result: tomato red.

Who knew the beer manufacturer Heineken also did green eye shadows? Not me! But according to my colleagues I looked like they could have carried a makeup line, haha! 
The eye shadows I used for this look were MAC "sassy grass" and "kelly green". Besides that I used a mineral foundation from Ella Rose Minerals, MAC "peach ombre" blush, MAC plushlash mascara, MAC "feline" black eyeliner and Make Up Store tribrow to fill in the gaps in my eyebrows. And a little bit of chapstick on the lips.
