Nudestix Matte Lip + Cheek Pencils // REVIEW


I've never been one to wear liquid lipsticks but I enjoy the look of a matte lip. I tried so many different liquid lipsticks, but ended up giving all of them away because I just couldn't do it. I cannot stand the feeling of a liquid lipstick on my lips. Especially with my dry lips, they'd dry out my lips so badly I can only live in lip balm for a week. So if you're like me and love a matte lip, but can't deal with a liquid lipstick - I have a recommendation.

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks // REVIEW


Recently the NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks have launched here in Austria, which have been out for quite a while now in the US and Canada, but since Europe is quite slow when it comes to new make-up launches, they only just started being available here too.

My MAC Nudes // COMPARISON


Since I did get a few more MAC lipsticks and they're all pretty much nude colours, I thought I would do a little comparison and swatches of all of them because I know I love seeing comparisons side by side to see how similar different colours are and if I need to own all of them (usually I do need all of them, it's a girls thing). I find these kind of posts quite useful and interesting to see, and also I find some of these lipsticks to be quite similar so I wanted to show you to give you an idea of how each of them looks.

Coloured Raine // Liquid Lipsticks


Hello beauties!

Today I'm bringing you my review of the ColouredRaine liquid lipsticks that I recently stumbled across while I was browsing through Instagram. I decided to pick up three of their more nude shades because I love nudes and I just get a lot more wear and use out of them than I would with a pink or purple shade.

MAC Honeylove vs. Artdeco #667 // COMPARISON



Recently I ordered this beautiful nude lipstick by Artdeco in the colour #667 "Natural Beauty" and when applying it, it reminded me a lot of MAC Honeylove lipstick so of course I had to check and see if they are similar and I can now tell you - yes they are.

Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes, Glossimer #144 Rose Dilemma // REVIEW


Hello lovelies!
Today I am reviewing the Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes, Brilliant Extrême Glossimer in the colour #144 Rose Dilemma. I did own another one of these in the colour #297 Sweet Beige but I returned it because the colour was just not my thing. By the way, these lipglosses retail for 31,00€.

Favourite Red Lipsticks


Hello beauties!
Since I did a "Favourite Nude Lipsticks" blogpost some time ago, I figured I'd show you my favourite red lipsticks as well. We all know that was the only right thing to do :) As in my nudes post - No specific order, I went from light to dark.

TOPSHOP Lipstick Infrared vs Rio Rio // COMPARISON


Hello beauties!
Today I am comparing and reviewing the Topshop Lipsticks in Infrared vs. Rio Rio.
They are both beautiful orange/red shades that I recently got inspired by the beautiful Zoe Sugg. She recently has been rocking Infrared in one of her videos and I immidiately went "I need a orange lipstick in my life" so I went ahead and ordered them both online.

Favourite Nude Lipsticks


Today I'm sharing my favourite nude lipsticks with you! I do have a couple of them and we all know I love me some nude lipsticks, actually.. lipsticks in general. But I thought it'd be nice to share my favourites from my collection :) Btw, these are in no specific order, I'm just going by brand

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Lipstick #1 // REVIEW


Today I am bringing you a very special blog post (at least it is to me). I recently splurged on a very luxurious item - the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in the colour 01 Nude Beige.
Can I just say that this is honestly a splurge item, it costs 32,95€ which is very very expensive for a lipstick which is why I decided to go for a nude, pinky colour because I know I will definitely be getting more use out of it, for the price, than if I went for a dark vampy colour that I barely ever wear.

WINTER MUST-HAVES: Dark Lipsticks

(f.l.t.r. Rimmel Kate Moss #107, NYX Matte Lipstick "Alabama", MAC "Rebel", MAC "Diva", Essence Good Girl Bad Girl LE "#01 It wasn't me")

Hello beauties!
Today I'm doing another winter must-haves. This time it's all about dark lipsticks because don't we all just love wearing dark lipstick in the fall and winter? I know I do.

MAC Cosmetics - Soar Lip Pencil // REVIEW


As we all know, the 90's lip is currently the biggest lip trend, thanks to Kylie Jenner. That's why I obviously had to go out and buy me MAC's Soar Lip Pencil, because people heard Kylie Jenner is wearing Soar and Whirl by MAC. It is such a struggle to hunt down either of those lip pencils, they're sold out basically everywhere. I am still waiting for Whirl to be back in stock. But I wanted to show you Soar anyway, because I know I wasn't sure what it'd look like when I bought it online.

MAC Cosmetics - Rebel Lipstick // REVIEW


Today I'm showing you MAC's very famous lipstick in the colour Rebel (which is also on of their most selling lipsticks in fall/autumn).

The lipsticks cost 19,95€ in my country which is quite expensive if you compare it to the US prices but what can you do? I'm such a MAC lipstick freak that I am willing to pay the price.

My MAC Lipstick Collection


(f.l.t.r.: Creme d'nude, Hue, Creme Cup, Pure Zen, Shy Girl, Velvet Teddy, Syrup, Plumful, Rebel, Viva Glam Rihanna, Diva, Flat Out Fabulous)

Today I thought I'd share my MAC lipstick collection with you including swatches on my arm.
I'm not going to go into much detail but I do want to give you a short statement to every single colour in case you are interested. To some I might have a lot of MAC lipsticks, to some it might be a tiny collection but I'm quite happy with it, especially since I got my first MAC lipstick mid-august 2014 and my last one october 17th 2014, so I spent quite a lot of money on all those lipsticks in just 2 months time.

MAC Cosmetics Velvet Teddy vs. Rimmel Kate #30 // COMPARISON


Today's post is yet again a comparison between two lipsticks. This time it's MAC's Velvet Teddy that everyone has recently been loving, thanks to Kylie Jenner and another Rimmel by Kate Moss lipstick in shade 30. I know they don't seem to be the exact same, but they are very similar. You could probably also compare the Rimmel one to MAC's Honeylove because it's a bit lighter than Velvet Teddy is but I don't own that one (yet). I just wanted to give you guys an idea on how they look compared in case you are looking for drugstore alternatives for the gorgeous Kylie Jenner lip look.

MAC Cosmetics Diva vs. Rimmel Kate #107 // COMPARISON


Today's post is going to be a comparison of the Lasting Finish lipstick by Kate Moss from Rimmel in 107 and MAC's Diva. They are both matte finishes and have been talked about loads of time. Apparently Rimmel 107 is a dupe for MAC's Diva and so I have never bought Diva because I didn't want to spend 19,95€ on a lipstick that looks the same as the Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 that I already owned (which is only around 7€). 

MAC Prep + Prime Lip Base // REVIEW


Today I'm reviewing MAC's Prep+Prime Lip Base. 

I got mine from Douglas online for 16,95€ and the product holds 1.7g (0.05 oz). MAC's official description of the product is "A colour-free base to wear under lipstick. Adds light moisture, smoothes and refines the lips. Improves the appearance of applied lip products." - We'll see if that's actually true.

MAC Cosmetics: Lipstick Finishes

Today's post is going to be a guide to MAC's lipstick finishes.
There are 7 standart lipstick finishes (not including their special lipsticks like pro longwear, sheen supreme etc.) which are Matte, Satin, Amplified, Cremesheen, Lustre, Glaze and Frost. Before getting into more detail about each finish, I should probably mention that not all the lipsticks in their own finish will be the exact same. So f.e. not all cremesheens are going to be the very exact same formula as the cremesheens, they might vary slightly. But not let's get to the actual finishes!

Mac Cosmetics - Syrup vs. Plumful // COMPARISON



Today I'm coming at you with my newest MAC purchases, which are the lipsticks "Syrup" and "Plumful" in a Lustre finish. The lighter colour is called Syrup, the darker, more berry colour is called Plumful (but I'm pretty sure you've heard of both of these colours before since they are pretty much classic MAC fall lipsticks including Rebel of course).
