Burberry

For SS15 Beauty, the skin was kept very natural, dewy and beautifully highlighted. There wasn´t a lot going on in the eyes. The makeup was fairly natural, but what what changed from show to show were the lips. Some opted for a natural lip, while other went for a bold one. There were some berry and red lips going on! Which is a change from what we are used to see for Summer, I definitely don´t wear a berry or dark red lip in the Summer, but it looked amazing!

These were my favourite looks, but my top 2 were from Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana.

The only show I actually know what was used was the Burberry show. Here´s the details!

They started with the Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in Golden Radiance No.02 to give a glow to the skin.

For the base they used a mix of the Burberry Glow BB Cream and the Burberry Fresh Glow Foundation. The concealer used was the Burberry Sheer Concealer.

For blush the Burberry Light Glow Blusher in Earthly No.07, which it was used also as a sheer wash of colour on the eyes as eyeshadow. One of the particularities of this look, was that they didn't used any mascara, to keep the look more modern. I love mascara, so don´t know if I´m going to embrace this look, we´ll see.

To keep the eyebrows in place it was used the Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer.

And finally the focus point of makeup, the lips, the lipstick used was the Burberry Lip Cover in Ruby No.18.

Fashion week has ended, and as usual I always post my favourites looks and shows.

I was quite surprised to see a a lot of dark colours, a lot of black. In some shows I though are these the AW collections? No these are Spring/Summer collections! But I wear black all year round so theres not much I can say about that. 

My favourite shows, If I had to pick a Top 3 definitely would be: Dolce & Gabbana, there´s no surprised there, I love it! It´s feminine, sexy, it always reminds of the italian screen sirens, what can I say I love Dolce & Gabbana!  Etro, love the boho vibe it had and Elie Saab it was so feminine.

What were your favourites shows?

Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette

The old version is on the left and the new one is on the right.

Yes, I know another neutral palette? You are probably tired of seeing them, there is one in every brand, but if you are like me and only uses neutral shades, you will love this baby, it´s perfection!

Too Faced had this palette for a long time, but recently they replaced 3 shades, and I´m so happy they did! In my opinion it made it better. 

This was I think my first eyeshadow palette, and I have to admit I never used it that much, I don´t know why I just didn´t gravitated towards it very often, but when I saw they changed the shades and replaced it with 2 amazing browns, I knew I had to check it out. I loved it and obviously ended up buying it, I have been using it non stop, I´m obsessed! I have been using Nudie all over the lid, Cashmere bunny in the crease and Sexpresso in the outer v, I also love Honey Pot in the inner corners of my eye. I haven´t used the shimmer shades yet, but next time I go out for dinner I will definitely give those a go, they look beautiful. The colours are beautiful, the pigmentation is great, it´s a winner in my eyes.

In the second picture you can see the two palettes, the old and the new version side to side so you can compare them.

Do you own any of the palettes? Or do you have both? Which one do you prefer?

Style Crush: Dita Von Teese

As long as I can remember Dita has always been one of my style Icons, she is just amazing. She has the whole old hollywood glam style down to a T. 

She is just so Fab! Her style is amazing and so is her hair and makeup, she always looks flawless, not only for the red carpet but on her daily life as well! Dita is the queen of the feline flick and red lips!

Here are some of my favourite interviews of her. Enjoy!

Kiko Daring Game

Kiko always has the best limited edition collections, there is always so much choice and I always want to buy everything! This time I tamed myself and only bought 4 things, which you might think it´s still a lot but I wanted to buy a lot more.What a surprise! I really had to stop myself from buying the bronzer/highlighter duo and the blush duo, well I´m waiting until they go on sale, it was quite annoying to see the summer collection on sale, to such reduced prices, so this time I will wait, and I might buy them then. Now onto what I bought, the first thing it caught my eye, want to guess? If you have been reading this blog, you should know the answer. If you said the neutral palette, you guessed right! I know I don´t need another neutrals, browns eyeshadow palette, but as usual I couldn´t help myself! I stopped myself from buying it a few times but in the end I caved in! Shocker, I know! I choose The Queen of Hearts Eyeshadow Palette in 01 Essential Brown, the pigmentation of the eyeshadows is very good, much better then the summer collection. I already used the two bronzy, brown ones and I loved it, they have quite a warm tone, which I love. I have been enjoying using them.

Since we are on the topic of eyes I also bought the Mystery smokey eye pencil in 17 Heady Rock Brown, the colour is quite unique I don´t own anything like it, it´s a brown with a bit of black with gold shimmer, for me this is more evening appropriated, I think for during the day it might be a bit much.

Now onto lips, when I saw the Ace of Diamond lipstick in 27 Refined Burgundy in a post from one of my favourite beauty bloggers Viviannadoesmakeup and I knew I had to get it, its a beautiful berry colour, I also bought the matching lip liner ( the colour is the same).

Overall I´m very impressed with this collection, I literally wanted to buy everything! 

Kiko why do you keep doing this to me? Always bringing out gorgeous collections! Why?

August Favourites

This month I didn´t have a lot of new favourites, I´m still using a lot of the products from my July Favourites. One of the products that I changed this month was my foundation, I switched between the Chanel Perfection Lumière foundation (shade 20 Beige) and the By Terry Terrybly Densiliss foundation (shade 7 Golden Beige), their finish is a lot more matte than I´m used to, which is perfect for Summer since my skin gets super oily this time of the year. For bronzer Nars Laguna is still my favourite, I know I have been mentioning it a lot!

For mascara I have a new favourite Lòreal Miss Manga Mascara, I love it! 

Finally for lips Mac Patisserie is still my favourite, our love affair is still going strong! But for something new I have been enjoying Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Pink Pong, it´s a gorgeous bright pink and for gloss I have been reaching for Chanel Glossimer in 179 Murmure, a pinky coral.

New in from Burberry

I own a few makeup bits from Burberry and I love them. One thing that I didn´t have and I have been wanting for a while was a lipstick I just wasn´t finding the right shade, they have amazing bold shades, that are on top of my wishlist, but for my first lipstick I wanted I shade that I could wear on an everyday basis and I think I found it in this shade No.09 Bluh, it´s a rosey pink shade ( it looks lighter in the photo) it´s a darker pink then I normally go for but at the moment I´m liking it.

My plan was just to buy the lipstick but as usual I ended up buying another eyeshadow, but to quote Rachel Zoe "I thought it was good I left with 2 things instead of 10"!!! 

I already own Pale Barley, that I love, but when I saw this shade No.21 Midnight Brown ( again it looks lighter in the photo it´s actually quite dark) I couldn´t resist, it´s a cool tone dark brown with shimmer, when I swatched this in the store It looked more warm toned ( which I prefer, I think I suit warm tones better than cool tones) maybe it was the lighting, but I still like it for when I do a brown smokey eye. Like Tim Gunn says Make It Work!

Ps: Massive Fail I forgot to take the plastic thing from the eyeshadow. Oh well!
