YOUNGBLOOD COSMETICS NOT BAD!! PAS MAL!!!


C'est nouveau, c'est beau... voici la nouvelle palette Mermaid pour la nouvelle marque de cosmetics, YoungBlood. A utiliser avec une base de couleur noire ensuite appliquer le fard. et voila!!! vibrant!!!

Youngblood Cosmetics is a company that is pretty new to me.
The first product I’m going to be reviewing is the Mermaid palette. It consists of four watery-themed shades. the key is to put a black eye shadow base and you will see the Magic!!! just awesome!!! you will see a duochrome color.


GEL LINERS IN GREAT RANGE OF COLORS!!!

On a l'habitude de voir du noir et du marron pour le liner, et bien plus maintenant, vive les couleurs!!! Merci Inglot!! la marque de cosmetique qui monte!! qui monte!!!

5 new gel eyeliners, in a great range of colors most other companies don’t make, and they are all matte so they work on the waterline :). i love them,  however dry fast!!!

Inglot #88 Gel Liner

  TIPS: to help thin it out, add a bit of water based mixing medium (MAC) and a clear, silicone based face primer, any clear silicone primer would work, and mixed them in with the gel liner. it will make the liner super creamy again.

also try it as a base for Eye Shadows and see!!

MAKE YOUR EYES POP...




What color eye shadow should you use to make your eye color POP?
Green eyes:  Best colors for green eyes are pink, rose, plum and mauve colors.  These colors can really make the green in your eye look brighter.  To make your green eyes pop try using Maybelline Eye Studio Color Explosion in Pink Punch or Almay Intense i-Color Satin - Green Eye.


Blue eyes:  Brown, bronze or copper colors are best for blue eyes. Warm hues help to contrast the coldness in blue eyes making them really stand out. To make your blue eyes pop try using Cover Girl Queen Collection Eye Shadow Set - Desert Bronze or Almay Intense i-Color Smoky-i Eyeshadow - Blue Eyes.



Brown eyes:  

If you have brown eyes try gold, burnt orange, blue or purple shadows.  Brown eyes are very versatile because they are neutral and go with a lot of colors.  To make your brown eyes pop try Maybelline Eye Studio Wet Eye Shadow Quads - Legendary Lilac  or Maybelline Eye Studio Color Explosion in Amethyst Ablazed.

Hazel eyes:  If you have hazel eyes you can really play around with a lot of color because you’ll have a mix of green, brown, and gray in your eyes.  You can really make the colors stand out by using light pink, golden brown, and a mixture of green shades.  Try using these products to make your eye color stand out.  Almay Intense i-Shimmer, Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips, and Maybelline Eye Studio Quad in Purple.

LONG LASTING LIPSTICK... 14 HOURS!


Do you guys know the Hourglass brand?  I remember when the palettes first came out at Sephora years ago - I just knew there was something different about their products, a quiet kind of luxury with a cult-ish edge.

Hourglass has just launched this amazing Opaque Rouge lip product.  It paints on like a gloss, but dries to a matte finish that lasts up to 14 hours. It’s very intense without the terrible feeling of those old longwear lipstains, and also without the bleed of a lipstick.
My favorite colors are Muse, Canvas and Icon (amazing true red).  My only hint would be to apply lip balm and let it sink in while you’re doing your makeup, then paint this on …always hydrate first.
 Full coverage liquid lipstick with a “velvet matte” finish. Just love it!!

BEYOND MASCARA!!

Le Mascara que j'aime en ce moment...pour des cils longs et epais!!!

Mascara is an absolute handbag essential for me. Make sure you replace your mascara at least every three months). Benefit’s latest offering, They’re Reallimited-edition Anniversary set. This includes a full-size mascara and a FREE travel size they’re real. The set (worth £27) will be sold for only £18.50. In other words, for the price of a full-size they’re real! you’ll also have a FREE travel size one too!

What’s the difference in a rubber mascara wand and what does it do?
image
The wand is designed for lengthening, curling, separating and volumising, and has a spiked application rubber wand with a teeny tiny little spiked ball on the end. It creates length, and a sort of spiky effect which I love when using these type of mascara wands.
Rubber bristles like They’re Real Benefit’s mascara is designed to combine the qualities expressed by both long and short bristles. The bristles coats even the tiniest lashes, which add volume, but are also strong enough to coat lashes from root to tip, which adds length. The sturdiness of the rubber bristles also mimics the effects of a comb and separates the lashes.

Adieu les anciens mascara....hello la nouvelle brosse en caoutchouc!!!

CRAZY NAILS

5 MANICURES TO TRY CAVIAR, VELVET, MAGNETIC, AND MORE

Over the past couple of years nail art culture has really taken off. Fashion Bomb faves BeyoncĂ©, Rihanna, and Eva Marcille are always mindful of their manis, and me? I’m no different. I’m obsessed with my nails! I use them as a way to make a subtle statement (the beauty is in the details). I’m always on the prowl for the latest in nail design–here are a few looks I uncovered that I think you’ll love:

1. The Caviar:



UK based brand CIATE introduced the Caviar manicure less than a year ago, and it has since taken off! The look offers a feminine and elegant 3-D effect that’s achieved with microbeads. A name like “Caviar”  just oozes opulence, no? This is next on my list to try.  You can purchase the kit for $25 at Sephora, or attempt a DIY with instructions.



2. The Velvet: 

Feeling fancy? Give this mani a whirl. CIATE carries on the couture nail game with its latest creation, the Velvet manicure. It promises to bring “decadent luxury to your fingertips”. The kit comes with crushed velvet, and is available with an array of colors that includes Berry Poncho (dark purple), Blue Suede, and Mink Cashmere. Just like the Caviar, this set can also be purchased at Sephora for $19. Rita Ora seems to have already taken a liking to the trend. Peep her velvet nails below.




3. The Magnetic:

I’ll admit: when I first heard about this I was confused. Magnetic? How? Sally Hansen recently launched their take on the nail trend with colors like Golden Conduct, Electric Emerald, Graphite Gravity, and more. The polish is infused with magnetic particles that form a design when exposed to the specially designed magnet. Interesting.



4. The Galaxy: 


Fans of astronomy far and wide will be excited to know that this intergalactic mani now exists. Truth be told, this cute design works great on anyone willing to give it a shot. It doesn’t come in a kit, instead achieved manually.


5. The Tribal Print:

This is a nail design that seemed to be influenced by the tribal print clothing trend. They can be found in a variety of patterns. You can purchase nail wraps from Asos to get the look. But of course I have a DIY option.


I’ve already tried the tribal, now I’m on to conquer the rest. What do you think? Will you be trying any of these manicures?

CARE FOR YOUR HAIR...




Well there has certainly been a lot of hype about MORROCANOIL, with beauty critics calling it ‘s new miracle treatment for unruly hair’ and although I had heard some amazing things about it, I was dubious… at first.
All the hype surrounding this product is due to one ingredient, Argan Oil. Argan Oil is said to have very high levels of Vitamin E and saponins which soften skin and regenerate hair. MORROCANOIL contains an ‘argan oil-infused’ formula along with Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamin A to improve elasticity, Vitamin E to protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors.
One of the main advantages of this product is that it really does reduce drying time, and thus heat styling damage. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now, putting 2 pumps in my towel dried hair and then blow drying. It certainly looks shinier and feels softer, and as the instructions say, all of the product will be absorbed, leaving no residue like you get with some hair serums. Your hair just soaks it up. It also has a wonderful fragrance like incense and gives great UV protection to your hair, which is just as damaged by the sun as your skin. Overall, if your hair has been damaged by heat styling or chemicals and is in some serious need of TLC, this product is worth a try. After years of abusing my locks with the straightening irons, I have found something which has begun to replenish them. I just hope it lasts with the rate I keep using it…

MAKEUP TIPS 4 EYES

As promised, here is a basic charts for different eye shades, invest in a color wheel and have fun...






The rule of thumb is to wear the opposite color eye shadow of your eyes on the color wheel so that your eyes really stand out...

if you struggle with trying to make your eyes pop and reach their full potential, keep on reading!


- Don’t line the waterline of the eye unless it’s for a theatrical, editorial or party look, otherwise do it with a white or beige color so it looks natural. White/fleshy toned eyeliner is an exception as it can open up the eye.

- Avoid lining the bottom lash line. This can also look really harsh on some people, if you do want to line the bottom lash line though use a  brown eyeliner and only take it 3 quarters of the way in from the outer corner of the eye and smudge it a little bit,this still gives impact and makes them look more defined but it doesn’t look as harsh.

- Highlight the brown bone. Using a white highlighter on the brow will open up the eye area tremendously, ensure that you don’t use one with a slight pink undertone or it will look like you’ve just tweezed the area.

- Highlight the inner corner of the eye. Highlighting the inner corner of the eye with a white eyeshadow (shimmery or not) really helps to open up the eyes and make them pop, simply place a small amount right by the tear duct.

- Highlight the outer corner. Using a white highlighter just under your bottom lash line and taking it three quarters of the way in towards the inner corner of the eye,helps to make you look like you’ve had a good nights sleep!

- Use light toned eyeshadows. Using a light toned but pigmented eyeshadow always helps to make the eyes look larger while darker colours will make them look smaller. Opt for whites, creams, light beige’s, off whites, egg shell, and dusty rose tones for the best impact.

- Use Mascara. Mascara is probably one of the biggest eye openers out there, Whether you choose something clear, black or brown it will always open up the eyes. Ensure you wiggle the wand at the base of the root all the way to the tips of the lashes, for even more impact do your lower lashes to, but only apply one coat. Also make sure you curl the lashes before any application of eye lash products!

USE EYESHADOW SHADES THAT ARE BEST SUITED FOR YOUR EYE COLOR! follow the color wheel

Blue eyes should try: Gold, bronze, ash, taupe, grey, heather, slate, apricot, peach, and lilac tones.

Light Brown eyes should try: Rich dark brown, mocha, khaki, stone and bark tones.

Dark Brown eyes should try: Electric blue, Milky chocolate and dark chocolate tones, indigo, teal and white tones.

Green eyes should try: Purple,plum,beige,camel,slate, lilac and taupe tones. Green can be used but be cautious when using or switch it up with some green eyeliner instead. 

Hazel eyes should try: Brown, burgundy, purple and pink tones.

Grey eyes should try:  You can experiment the most as you almost have a blank canvas, but for added impact try bronze and grey tones. To avoid looking washed out avoid shades like white, and try darker tones.
