alverde NATURKOSMETIK


Alverde is natural bio and vegan cosmetic. It is produst in Germany and sold in Europe. 
I recentlly bought bronzer and highliter

First of all I must say that I absolutelly love the packaging. The box reminds me of Hoola bronzer. But this one is so much cheaper ;) And the names are so cute.

I have bronzer in 20 TERRACOTTA EARTH . It is beautiful brownish powder with Macadamia oil. I think it is perfect for dry skin. Not any traces of orange


The next thing is shimmer powder in ETHNO QUINTET. It also contains Macadamia oil, so it is non drying. I use this as a highligter and i adore it. It gives perfect, natural, bronze, summary looking skin ;))

Swatches
  Left: Ethno Quintet Right: Terracotta Earth

Let me know if you use alverde cosmetic??

Am I Blue or Green?


Hello nail junkies
Today I'm going to share with you my taughts about nail polish from Catrice. It is pastel minty colour and for perfect results you need two coats of it. The lasting is pretty awsome. Widouth any top coat you can get away with wearing it for about 5 days.
Recently I have been craving for some brighter colours on my nails...maybe because here is rainy all the time...This nailpolish is the first one from the brand Catrice. Do you guys like this brand? Let me know. So far I am more than happy with this nailpolish.

FALL nailpolish

Here I have perfect fall nailpolishes. 

My all time favourite is burgundy crush from MaxFactor. It lasts me for a week with just one coat and widouth top coat. Plus it is super glossy. Love it!


The second one is midnight charm from Essence. I put one coat and it is just enough. If you dont' put top coat over it, it lasts for three days, but if you do, then you're good for a week.


The third is millionare green from Kiss. It is a beautiful green with shimmer. You must put 2 coats to achieve the look.


Next is steel magnolia from Kiss. It's dark grey/silver with a lot of shimmer. One coat is just enough. And Kiss nailpolishes are super long lasting. They are one of my favourites, plus they are cheap :)

Right now I'm wearing midnight charm. What is on your nails?

MAYBELLINE COLORSensational


Today I'm going to show you two of my favourite fall/winter lipsticks. They are from Maybelline from colection color sensational. 
They are both very moisturizing, plus they've got a very plesent coconout smell.

MYSTIC MAUVE, 250 is more on the purple side. It's gorgeous day time lipstick, it's perfect to use it as a fall nude! I always got a ton of compliments when I wear it.
CHICK PLUM, 330 is shimmery plum colour. It's perfect for night time look, if you don't wanna be very dramatic. This one is not so vibrant, so if you are brave, rock those lips as a day time look!

Things that you need:
- a pair of fuzzy socks
- miny lollipops (you could use the big ones, but smaller are so cute)
- pretty paper
- scisors

First cut the cupcake liner from the paper of your choice and tape both of the ends together.

Things that you need:

- and dirty make up brushes ;)

First put your brushes under a warm water.
Then put a little bit of cleanser on your brushes and swirl it in your hand.
After that you rinse your brushes under warm water again until the water is clear.
Then put your brushes on the paper towel and let it dry over night.

And you are all done...
