MAC Objects Of Affection

Well MAC’s Heirloom Mix Christmas Collection is still available (but limited edition!) so I want to show you the gem that I got.

MAC Objects Of Affection - Gold + Beige Pigments + Glitter. It includes four pigments and one glitter. The formula of all except from the glitter (you get fallout) is easy to blend and are long-lasting. You can apply it to get a wash of color or really build it up to get an intense effect. I usually find the best luck in pouring a little bit oft the pigment into the cap. Hint: apply it with a dampened brush – just spray a little Mac Fix + on the brush.

1. Pigment: Lithe

It’s a peachy nude with a light gold shimmer and a yellow-undertone.

2. Pigment: English Gilt

It’s a bright champagne with a golden bronze shimmer and warm undertones.

3. Pigment: Pretty It Up 

It’s a dirty olive with pearl and a bronze-gold shimmer with a hint of khaki and olive.

4. Pigment: Gold

It’s a sparkly chunky gold glitter.

It’s a dark chocolate brown with warm undertone and a matte finish.

There's also something similar but it's a palette. The shades are neutral and so buttery soft. Perfect for traveling and the packaging is stunning.

It's perfect for NYE. Unfortunately it's sold out online but you can still get it at a MAC-counter. Happy New Year! xoxo

The Stars Of Dior

I always get so excited when I get new makup-up that’s really doing it’s job. So here are my 3 favourites from Dior which are my stars of the brand! 

As the name „Dior Star Foundation“ says – it really is a star! The coverage is buildable and it’s leaving a light sheen on the skin, which doesn’t make you look greasy even if you have oilyer skin like me (combination skin). It also lasts all day long and you don’t even need to set it with powder. Colour-wise there’s a good range. I have the colour Nr. 021 Linen. Well, the bottle is so luxe! You get what you pay for.

I’ve always loved Dior Mascaras but the "Diorshow Iconic Overcurl" in Nr. 090 Catwalk Black is amazing! The shape of the wand is curling, lenghtening and sperating the lashes and you don’t even need to curl your lashes (FYI I have very short lashes). It really lifts the lashes so it suits most people. Most importantly it doesn’t budge at all. 

Now with the colder weather my lips are very dry and I don’t like wearing lipbalm without colour in the daytime. So the Dior „Rouge Dior Baume“ in Nr. 688 Diorette is perfect. It’s so moisturizing and doesn’t feel sticky on the lips. The colour is suttle but it enhances your complexion.

Like I’ve already mentioned I like to use moisturizing products on my lips in the colder moths. So the "Dior Addict Fluid Stick" in Nr. 373 Riesue is a mix of a lipgloss and a lipstick. It last longer that a lipgloss and looks like a lipstick when the gloss fades. And it’s not sticky!!! So it’s also a star from Dior.

Dior Star Foundation in Nr. 021 Linen, $50.

Diorshow Iconic Overcurl in Nr. 090 Catwalk Black, $29.

Rouge Dior Baume in Nr. 688 Diorette, $35.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Nr. 373 Rieuse, $35.

Chanel Christmas Collection

I love Christmas beauty releases! Almost every brand seem to be bringing out their best products! Let’s start with my favourite collection, it’s the CHANEL Collection „Plumes Précieuses de Chanel“.

The most beautiful product of the collection is „Camélia De Plumes“. I saw it in a video on youtube and had to run to the Chanel counter in Zurich and get it. It’s a highlighter (that is NOT glittery) with beautiful embossing of a flower. It’s totally wearable but also perfect for the festive season. The packaging is very chic and you also get a little brush. So if you also like beautiful, special make-up pieces go and get it because it’s limited edition.

I always apply a light coloured eyeshadow or eyeliner in the inner corners of my eyes to brighten up and to make them appear bigger and more awake – even if I haven’t had enough sleep. The waterproof eyeliner „stylo yeux in or blanc“ is from the same range as the highlighter. The golden shade makes my eyes sparkle and it’s perfect for Christmas partys. But keep in mind it’s also limited!!! 

I also got an lip gloss the „rouge allure gloss in extase“ but it’s not limited edition! YAY! Now with the colder season my lips are always very dry and need so much moisture. It’s perfect for plumper, juicy looking lips. The color is very similar to my natural lipcolor and when the gloss fades - it leaves a nice stain. But I’ve to addmit that it’s a little bit sticky but this means it’s mega hydrating. 

Camélia De Plumes, 74 €.

Stylo Yeux Waterproof in or blanc, 28 €.

Rouge Allure Gloss in extase, 33 €.

Bobbi Brown Christmas Collection

A new release of Bobbi Brown is the limited edition „Warm Glow Eye Palette“.

The packaging is beautiful!!! It’s brown fake-croc leather with an golden edge and it just feels so luxurious. 

The neutral palette contains 3 matte and 6 shimmery shades. A light matte colour (flesh) to highlight your browbone, a matte beige colour (beige) to define your crease and a matte black colour (rich caviar) to make it all more smokey. To make it all more sparkley on the eyelid there are the 6 shimmery shades (golden pink, bonfire, rosé, gold, velvet bronze and golden bronze).

With this palette I’ll definitely rock a christmassy smockey eye. It’s gorgeous go and get it now, because it’s almost sold out at every Bobbi Brown counter that I’ve been.

Merry Chrismas Smockey Eye!

Bobbi Brown "Warm Glow Palette", $75.00.
