I can win a kick-ass palette!

Doesn't this palette look amazing? I'm in a competition right now where I can win this lovely palette! Now I just have to hold my thumbs and pray so that I can hopefully win this... I can always hope, even though I don't think that the chanse is so big that I'll win this considering that there are quite many people who are participating in the competition. Anyway, just wanted to show you the palette. You can find it HERE by the way! :)

Review of Lumene Primer ''Beauty Base Crystal Radiance''

A while ago I bought this primer from Lumene, which is a famous brand from a Scandinavian country. I wanted to try this one because the brand is famous for their natural containing products and the price was also good! I would say it approximately costs £10, which I consider is an OK price for a primer (for beginners in this kind of subject)! :). It's supposed to give your skin a natural-looking radiance and make it looking fresh and younger. It's also said on the bottle that it'll give you an even base.
I tried the primer on my hand because I think it's easier to capture it there than in your face (hope that's okay). I really like that it's a tube (and not just a pot), which is hygienic and makes it easy not to get too much of the product at once. The formula is white and I can see some traces after pink also, this is of course only now because when you've worked the product into your skin it'll get transparent. Judging from this spot with product on my hand, I can see that this product contains quite much glitter, which will make your skin glow.
Here are two pictures on before and after. And what do I think about the difference? It's not as visible as I did hope it would be to be honest. My skin does look more glowy though, but with make-up on after this, you can barely see that I've been using this primer, unfortunately. Does my make-up last longer with this primer then? I'd say a little bit longer than without this, but then you need to use quite much of it. I'm not as oily in my T-zone when I'm using this and my skin both feels AND looks more smooth! I'm having mixed feelings about this primer as you maybe can see...

Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance

I really wanna have this fragrance from Chanel called ''Coco Mademoiselle''. It smells amazing! Chanel describes the fragrance like this: ´´A feeling of luxuriance is achieved through two exclusive ingredients that form the signature for all CHANEL parfums: Jasmine Absolute and May Rose Absolute. These delicate flowers bursting with confidence are highlighted by a touch of Iris from Florence.´´ And it's a huge plus that beautiful Kiera Knightley is ''the face'' for the fragrance, don't you think?

New loose powder from Makeupstore!

This is what I bought a few days ago. It's called Loose Powder and it's in a colour called ''Natural''. You're using this after that you've applied a liquid (for example) foundation, and it's basically transparent, but just with some colour. This will make your face shine-free and it will make your make-up looking more matte. Without this, my foundation wouldn't look as good! It's very useful!

Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding Make-up!

Did you see The Royal Wedding that was in London yesterday? I did see it, I sat there for 4 hours (I just couldn't get away from the TV)! I cried for like half of the time haha.. Anyway the reason why I wrote this post was not because I wanted to tell you how much I cried or how much I loved the wedding. I just wanted to show you two photos of Kate's wedding make-up. I thought she looked extremly(!!!!!!) beautiful and I really liked the brown/beige/pink colours that her make-up contained. I don't think she wore too much make-up, because if she would had worn less than she did, it wouldn't had looked as good in the camera I think! :). Anyway, I think she looked soooo good!

Review of L´oréal Paris True Match Foundation!

This is my L´oréal Paris True Match Foundations that I bought for a year or so. I really like these bottles that the foundation comes in. They're practical and the pump is awesome (I prefer foundations with pumps)! The price of this foundation is really good also, it only costs approximately £10. This is great for the people who wants a budget-foundation! Anyway, I don't feel like this is an amazing foundation, BUT for the low price I can't be more than happy about it. Let's tell you why I think this way...

I really like this foundation because it's lightweight and you don't think of the fact so much that you're wearing make-up. The formula isn't oily, which is really good too, because I hate when you're getting shiny in your fore-head for example. L´oréal promises you a build-up coverage and I agree about that. I feel like you're getting more coverage the more foundation you're using, and I like it. It still won't look unnatural if you're doing this build-up coverage thing hehe. My personal opinion is that this foundation will last for maximum 9 hours(!), absolutely not more than that! Overall it's a good foundation, and I'm pleased with it.

New: Lancôme's Foundation brush 3

So this is what I bought last week. It's a foundation brush from Lancôme called ''Foundation brush 3''. It's just amaaaazing. I've used this approximately 3 times so far and I just can't understond how I've been able to live without this. This brush is ideal for liquid or cream foundations and right now I'm just using liquid foundations. Lancôme promises you a perfect complexion with this brush and I can't do anything else than to agree. My complexion looks amazing after using this foundation brush and I also have the perfect base!

The brush is extremly soft(!!) and it's so easy to blend the foundation in with this tool. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro, you won't fail anyway! It's said on the Lancôme web page that this brush can also be used with any kind of creamy product, like face creams, masks and tinted moisturizers. But that it's ideal for the Teint Idole Ultra. I'm so glad that I bought this brush, I don't regret it at all. You can purchase this brush for approximately £26.

The new Dior Addict Lipstick!

This is amazing, don't you think? It's the new Dior Addict Lipstick. This collection contains 44 amazing colours!! Isn't just that amazing guys? According to Dior this lipstick is supposed to be a mix of lipstick and lipgloss. It's hydrating, so you won't have that dry feeling on your lips as you can have with the ordinary lipsticks. I reeeeally wanna try this, I'm going to the city tomorrow so I'll probably take a look at this lipstick thenI know one thing that I'll buy there tomorrow anyway, you'll see pictures of it some other day probably. BYE!

Chanel Éclat Lumière Concealer

I really want a new concealer. Not because my old one is making me disappointed, but because of the fact that I love to try new make-up products. So I've done some (okay A LOT, I admit) research about different concealers and one concealer that I really got stuck with was this one from Chanel called ''Éclat Lumière Concealer''. It seems amazing because of the reviews that I've read, of the AMAZING appearance and because of the result that it's supposed to give you (which is the most important thing of a product of course)!

The way that this concealer will benefit you, is that it's just not a concealer, it's also a highlighter. You can use it in dark areas in your face. It'll also reduce the appearances of fine lines and lighten dark circles. This Chanel product comes in 3 different shades and you can see them on the picture above. I don't know which colour's going to benefit me the most, so I'll have to go to a store so someone professional can help me to choose a good shade for me. Anyway, it's supposed to be an amazing concealer, according to all of the reviews, but if you do have any kind of thoughts about this concealer though, type them in this post! I'll be glad if you'll be able help me! :)

Review of IsaDora Hypo-allergenic Mascara

So now it's time for me to do a review of the IsaDora mascara called ''Hypo-allergenic mascara'' that I got in a late christmas present. I had big expectations on this mascara, not because it was expensive, but because of the one I got it from said it was such an amazing mascara. Did it please me like I expected it to do though? I'll tell you what I thought about the mascara in this post...
(This is how the IsaDora Hypo-allergenic mascara looks like on my eyelashes!)

The brush on the other hand is great and it's the perfect size according to me. My eyelashes are quite short and few also, and with this wand it's easier to apply the mascara without leaving any traces around the eye-area from it. I don't think that the amount of mascara that's on the wand is very good though. I think that it's too much mascara on the wand, and according to me, too much mascara on the wand makes it harder to capture every each lash. And with that huge mistake that IsaDora made, I must impair the certificate of the product.

There is actually one thing that I really HATE (I use that word very rarely!) about this mascara. When I tried this mascara for the first 2 weeks (?) I thought it was really good, BUT after like ½ a month or a month the mascara began to get thicker and gobs began to gather in the formula. So you can just try to figure out how hard it was to get a descent result now. Because of that I consider that I really value this mascara as much worser than it was before this happened. My friend also mentioned that hers and her mum's mascara also had began to get thicker and with gobs in it now, so it wasn't just mine who did that. However, considering the cheap price of the product I didn't really think that this mascara would be any better than it actually was...
