1: Estee Lauder ''Double Wear Mascara'', it says on the packaging that it won't smudge and that it's lenghtening. Sounds good and hopefully, it is too!

3: MAC ''Vanilla Eyeshadow''.
4: MAC ''Haux Eyeshadow''.

What's your favourite primer?

What's YOUR favourite primer for face? Last spring I was out looking for an appropriate primer for me, but I just couldn't decide which one to buy, so I'll buy a primer this following autumn instead. I've been thinking of buying the Lancôme ''La Base Pro'' now for quite a long time, but I'm not sure if it's that good(??). Please every suggestion of your best primer is helpful! It doesn't matter if it's drugstore-cheep or ridiculously expensive. Thank you guys :)

Update: I bought the ''Smashbox Photo Finish Light''.

Review of Chanel Hydrating Créme Lip Colour!

So this is the review of my new Chanel Hydrating Créme Lip Colour. I've wanted to try this for a veeery long time now, so I decided to buy it last week when I had the chanse :). I've wanted to try a lipstick that gives your lips hydration and not a dry appearance. I chose between the Dior Addict Lipstick, YSL Rouge Volupté and this one from Chanel of course. I didn't really find a colour that I liked from the other two brands but I found a colour from Chanel that I luckily LOVED!

So this is the review of my new Chanel Hydrating Créme Lip Colour. I've wanted to try this for a veeery long time now, so I decided to buy it last week when I had the chanse :). I've wanted to try a lipstick that gives your lips hydration and not a dry appearance. I chose between the Dior Addict Lipstick, YSL Rouge Volupté and this one from Chanel of course. I didn't really find a colour that I liked from the other two brands but I found a colour from Chanel that I luckily LOVED!

Anyway, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! I love the tiny box that comes in the lipstick when you buy it, it looks so luxurious. And so does the packaging of the lipstick. I absolutely LOVE the black glassy design with the classic Chanel-logo on top of it, looks amazing, doesn't it??

When I first saw the campaign with Vanessa Paradis I really wanted to have the colour ''5 Madamoiselle'', which is ''The Colour'', but when I came to the store I fell in love with this colour instead, called ''13 Gardénia''. I'd describe it as a dark pink (almost red) colour that looks quite shimmery when you see it in the packaging, but after applying it on your lips it looks a little bit less pink (quite natural-looking), shiny and glamorous!

The lipstick also comes in a very smart and luxurious packaging. I might be silly but I really love the enchased Chanel on the lipstick, looks really cool and another sign that this lipstick definitely is expensive. For me who's a genuin makeup-lover is the appearance of makeup definitely important :). I love the discreet sound the lid makes when you put it onto the  again, even that sounds luxurious, lol!

(Left: The swatch. Right: The lipstick on my lips.)

On my lips, the lipstick feels soooo smooth. I can hardly feel that I'm wearing any lipstick at all, honestly. This is the colour that I've been looking for for a really long time. It's bright pink, not too pink and not too light. LOVE IT! It will look more lovely during the autumn-winter-springs's though. I personally prefer these colours for the more ''dark'' seasons. Anyway what do you think about ''13 Gardénia''? I LOVE IT!! Usually when I wear lipsticks, I use some kind of an hydrating lipstick underneath the lipstick, just because the lipstick tends to look and feel dry on my lips. With this Hydrating Créme Lip Colour from Chanel, I definitely do NOT need any hydration underneath the lipstick. It already feels super-smooth with this lipstick (which it should be, just because the word ''hydrating'' is a part of the name), which I love!

So far it's great. The packaging is amazing, it looks amazing on my lips and it feels amazing on my lips also. But how does it last? If it doesn't last for a very long time, then all of the other good things doesn't really matter anymore. I've wore it every single day since I bought it (mostly because I love the colour, but also because I've wanted to try how long it lasts on my lips), and I can tell you that it lasts for a very long time. Six hours later it basically looks exactly the same as when I first applied it. WOW! Even after eating or drinking it hasn't begun to fade.. This lipstick is DEFINITELY highly pigmented(!!!!). However, I can feel a small sence of fragrance. It smells fresh and lovely, I'd guess that the smell is some kind of berries (perhaps strawberries??).

New: Chanel Lipstick in ''13 Gardénia''

Look what I bought from Chanel a few days ago! It's their ''Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour'' in the shade called ''13 Gardénia''. I'll give you swatches and a review of this lipstick later on. I can tell you already that I've tried it a few times and it looks lovely on my lips. It's a quite dark pink shade with some shimmer in it. You'll see!

So, this is the 2011 summer-look from Face Stockholm. It's very natural-looking and usual(?). If I'd have seen this picture I'd probably have guessed it's a look for winter, because of the extremly natural make-up, the pale skin, the shimmery white eyeshadow at the inner-corner of the eye, the shimmery pink neutral lipgloss and because of the blush that's the most ''unnatural'' part of the whole look. Anyway, I'm not the biggest fan of this whole look, but if you like it you can see what products they used to achieve this look!:) What do you think about this look? Please tell me!

Review of Lumene ''Duet Mineral Eyeshadow'' in ''9 Sonnet for Autumn''!

 A while back ago I bought this mineral eyeshadow from Lumene called ''Duet Mineral Eyeshadow''. I've wanted to try a mineral eyeshadow for a while and it ended out with me buying this one. The reason why I bought just this quad, was because it has a quite descent price and I usually like this brand. I also liked the colours, they might seem more appropriate for the autumn/winter, but I normally don't have any rules when or where I use my eyeshadows during the year, if you know what I mean! :)

 So this is how ''9 Sonnet for Autumn'' looks like. In the quad the left colour seemed to be more beige, but it's more pink when you're applying it. It actually disappointed me a little bit. I do like the darker shade though. I think it's the perfect brown shade for a light-brown smokey eye. These colours DON'T give you a smokey eye-effect though, not at all.

(This is a look that I did when I used the Lumene ''Duet Mineral Eyeshadow'' quad.)

So this is the look that you'll get after applying the two shades in the quad. Looks booring, right? I'm actually really disappointed to be honest. This eyeshadow DON'T contain a lot of pigmentation at all! I had to use a lot to make it look this simple. I mean honestly, you can hardly see that I've been using any eyeshadow at all, right? I don't think you can do that anyway.. It does stay on your eyelids for a very long time though, so you don't have to worry about any touch-ups during the day at all.

I personally think.. That if you're buying a cheaper eyeshadow and it doesn't have that good pigment, you probably won't be using it that often anyway, so why not buying a more expensive eyeshadow that has more pigment, and you'll be using it a lot more(?). Next time I'll probably buy the Dior Eyeshadow Duo in ''565 Nude Look'' or the Chanel Eyeshadow in ''20 Taupe-Délicat'', I'm also thinking about buying MAC eyeshadows, their reviews are GREAT!! Do you have any other eyeshadow to recommend me that has a lot of pigment(?), I'd really appreciate it! :)
