Review of Estée Lauder ''Double Wear Mascara''

So, I've been using this mascara every day since I bought it, which is approximately 2 weeks now. I love the gold and the blue packaging together it looks really luxurious! :). I also love that the bottle is so handy, it's the perfect size. That's what I love about ''more expensive'' makeup, the packaging always look so luxurious and gorgeous. And you usually get what you pay for, which is quality, don't you agree?

My current favourite mascara is the ''Lancôme Definicils Mascara'', but I wanted to try something new, and I thought that this mascara seemed quite much like the Lancôme's. It basically had the same wand as the one from Lancôme so I had to try it! I did not like this one as much as Lancôme's though, continue reading the review and I'll tell you why.
It says on the mascara that it's a zero-smudge lengthening mascara, and I totally agree with that! It does not smudge at all, which I love about it. It also stays on all day, so you don't need to worry about reapplication. One thing that I don't like about this mascara is that it comes too much product on the wand, which makes your eyelashes appear more heavy-looking. In the pictures you might not see it as clear as in real life, but I hope you still understand what I mean.
(This is how Estée Lauder ''Double Wear Mascara'' looks like on my eyelashes)

How do you think this mascara looks like after application? I've used 2 layers on the upper lash-line and that's totally enough to make your eyelashes more lenghtened. I really like how it looks like, but; I'm not the biggest fan of how difficult it is to makes your eyelashes defined while applying this mascara. You need to brush through your eyelashes a lot while applying it, so they won't be too thick, because otherwise they'll end out waaaaay to thick.. I promise you that. It's also quite difficult to remove even with my favourite eye make-up remover of all time, that removes any mascara easily... But removing this mascara with that eye make-up remover is not as easy, at all.

YSL Fall 2011 Collection

WOW!! These pictures from YSL Fall 2011 are just breathtaking. Don't you think? It's absolutely gorgeous. The main colours in this collection are purple, blue and green as you can see. For me it couldn't be more appropriate for fall. I love it!!

(Image 3):The eyeshadow quad is called ''Jardin de Minuit'' and contains 5 different shades (1 dark-green, 1 mint-green and 3 purple shades). My favourite shades from this quad is the mint-green and the 2 lilac shades to the right.

(Image 4):The nailpolishes are also absolutely gorgeous! I love that they contain a little glitter, that make them look more luxurious I think. My personal favourite of those two is the dark-blue one. I think that colour is the ''most appropriate'' one for fall of them two.

(Image 5):There are also 6 new lipsticks in this collection, they're called ''Rouge Volupté Perlé''. I'd say that the shades are definitely appropriate for the fall, but I'd say that the shades are a little different (two of the shades are purple). But the other shades are absolutely gorgeous I think. I really like that they've made a nude lipstick, so that you can wear it with the ''Jardin de Minuit''-quad. The red and the light-red lipstick are just absolutely GORGEOUS! Love them!!

(Image 6):As you can see, there are also 5 new blushes, called ''Blush Radiance''. I'm really interested of the first 3 ones, just because that I think that they would fit perfect with a look that's fall-inspired, if you know what I mean. I really want them!

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! :)

Review of Lancôme's ''Dêfinicils'' mascara!

A while back ago (okay I acknowledge a long time ago), I bought this mascara from Lancôme called ''Dêfinicils''. Now I've tried it for a quite long time, so I'm now more than ready to do a review of this mascara! First able, the packaging.. How amazing isn't it? Like all of the other Lancôme products, their products and packagings all looks gorgeous and classy. Love it. This is what it says on Lancômes web page about this mascara: ''For lavishly long, perfectly defined lashes, this iconic award-winning mascara provides the ultimate in separation. Carefully selected polymers coat each lash from root to tip, to help lengthen and outline each lash for unmatched definition.'' But do I agree??
(This is how it looks on after two coats!)
I really like how it looks like on my eyelashes! They do look a lot longer than with other mascaras I've tried. The first time I used it I actually got a little disappointed. Why? Because I only applied one layer with it and after one layer it was just like ''an ordinary'' mascara. But, the second time I used this mascara I applied 2 (or even 3??) layers with this, and that was when I realized how AMAZING this mascara is!

It does give your eyelashes a great boost, volume and lenght, BUT; it does still look natural! I've been looking for a mascara that does all this, but still gives you a natural look, and I've finally found it now! I don't think I could be more happy about it actually, and there's no way I hope it could be different in, it's all perfect.. So yeah I do totally agree with how Lancôme described this mascara like. Definitely!

Lancôme 29 St Honoré (Fall collection 2011)

So, this is the amazing collection ''29 St Honoré'' for Lancôme Fall 2011. I haven't found that much ''information'' about this collection, but I know it's made in honour of the store in Paris with the same name. I love this look, with the red lips, cat eyes and the bold eyeliner, it looks so classy. This collection was created by Aaron de May and ever since he began designing make-up for Lancôme, I've absolutely LOVED him! My favourite item in this collection is definitely the blush, the colours are amazing and the design is breath-taking!

In the search for the perfect mascara...

(Chanel Mascara Inimitable, Diorshow Iconic and Lancôme Hypnôse).

Now I need your help/opinions! I'm in the search for the perfect mascara for my eyelashes, as I always am, though. My eyelashes are short and not that many on the lower lash-line so I don't like how thick and unnatural my eyelashes are looking when I've applied mascara on the lower lash-line. I want my (future) mascara to be able to lenghten and separate my eyelashes and I also want the mascara to give a natural appearance(!!) to my lashes.

Sooo, there's a whole jungle out there with mascaras, so I asked a pro. She actually recommended me those 3 mascaras (on the picture) that I thought about buying. Right now I'm feeling most sure about the Diorshow Iconic mascara, because I've heard so many good things about it. Now I want you to tell me about which one your(!) favourite mascara is, and if you do have any opinions about those 3 mascaras, please don't doubt typing them in this post, it doesn't matter if they're negative or positive! Without trying to sound desperate: Please help me with this readers!

Review of Garnier ''Sensitive eye make-up remover''!

Okay, I normally wouldn't make a review of something as booring as an eye make-up remover. But I just had, because this is the best that I've ever tried for sensitive eyes! If you're like me, having eyes that are basically burning while using an ''ordinary'' eye make-up remover, then you should definitely try this product. I've actually tried removers that are for sensitive eyes, but that are still burning. Now I've given up that endless search, because I've found this one from Garnier called ''Sensitive eye make-up remover''. It's just amazing!

Let me tell you why.. It removes your eye make-up so gently that it feels like it's basically made of 100 pre cent water, with out exaggerating! You don't feel any burning in your eyes at all(!) while removing your make-up with this appliance. And WOW, how rapidly it removes your eye make-up, it's just amazing! This is the best eye make-up remover for sensitive eyes that I've ever tried!!

Review of IsaDora ''Light and Shade Eyeshadow(s)''!

I've basically had these IsaDora ''Light and Shade Eyeshadow(s)'' forever. Okay maybe not, but for atleast 3 years. I bought them because they're really cheap (approximately £8 each) and because of the fact that it's a duo eyeshadow and because I liked the colours of course :). I consider the packaging as just ''ok''. There's nothing special about them, but nothing negative about them either. Continue reading and I'll give you a quick review of what I think about these eyeshadow duos.
I really like both of the colours. They look good together and with ''14 Silver Mist'' I can really get a natural-looking smokey eye effect. The ''12 Glacier Blue'' looks very pretty on my eyelids and they really look good together also. When I apply this on my eyelids I'm actually gladly surprised every time that the eyeshadow doesn't fall down below the eye, it does actually stay on without falling down from your eyelids.

They are very pigmented too, and they stay on for many hours (with a good primer the eyeshadows can last even longer though) and I probably just need one touch-up during the day to make it look flawless. For the price you get it for though, I really can't complain about these eyeshadows, that would just be cruwl, lol. I can't really remember anything more to bring up about these eyeshadows, I think they're absolutely amazing! If you do have any questions about this eyeshadow though, don't doubt about typing them in this post!! :)

Review of Face Stockholm ''Volumizing mascara''!

This is honestly the first mascara that I got two examples of. I really like this one called ''Volumizing mascara'' from Face Stockholm. These tubes are old, so it's why they've an old design. It's available in six different shades; black, black brown, brown, eggplant (lilac), navy and teal (light blue). Both my mascara tubes are in the colour ''black''. Face Stockholm promises this: ''Our rich formula, thickens, lengthens and fortifies lashes. Create dramatic, enticing, captivating eyes with just one coat.'' I do agree, partly. Keep reading and I'll explain why!
(On the pictures above, have I only used one coat of this mascara. Love it!)

This is how the wand looks like. It's quite thick, but it really captures every each lash easily. It's supposed to give you a dramatic look, but I'd rather say it gives you a very natural look. I do really really really like how it turns out to be though! This is seriously one of the best mascaras I've every tried. I just love how natural it looks especially on my lover-lash-line, I don't even think my mascara from Lancôme (by the way it's time to make a review of that mascara too, sorry I've totally forgot about that!) does my lover-lashes that good as this Face Stockholm mascara!

I've had these mascaras for more than a year now, but I've barely used them (I don't know why??). Anyway what I wanted to say with that was that that the formula still hasn't drought, at all. I definitely do recommend this to you out there who are looking for a mascara that really makes your eyelashes look natural. If I've to say something negative, it would be that it doesn't give you enough volume as it promised you... Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend this mascara!

The new summer collection ''Softbox'' from Smashbox

Have you seen the new summer collection from Smashbox called ''Softbox''? The definition of that name is basically natural-looking makeup, just the way that I want it during the summers!:) As I see it, there are six new lipglosses in sex different colours, and they're all looking like something that you can wear everyday, which is great. And then there's a palette that contains 12 different colours, and there are a lot of brown shades in it, which will also look great this summer (and autumn?). You'll probably be able to do a really cool brown smokey eye-look with this palette! According to me, there's nothing ''special'' about this collection if you know what I mean, but I suppose it's a collection that you can basically be using everyday. GREAT!

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 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...
