Christmas Make up Look!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!!!

I've decided to do a make up look which is perfect for the Christmas holidays or for Christmas day.  I did this beautiful golden and red-ish colour for the eyes and a red/orange lip!  Continue reading if you would like to know how I got this look right here and the products I used!

This is not a heavy make up look, it's very subtle but then you have this popping lip colour and of course that fierce wing which I can't live without.  This lipstick is my new liquid lipstick, which is really long lasting and it's from the Amrezy collection and it's called Brooklyn.  I bought this online from this site called LipLand, I have to admit, it is quite expensive but I was dying to buy it because Amrezy is one of my favourite Instagrammers.

Products used for the face:
- Foundation; Maybelline 24hr Super Stay in the colour Sand (30).
- Powder: Max Factor Translucent powder. IMP. to set all your foundation!
- Contour and Highlight; Sleek contour kit with my MAC "Soft and Gentle" highlighter and the Stefania D'Alessandro eye shadow in "Pearl".  Obsessed with this product!!
- Blush; NYX "Intuition".

For my eyebrows; 

Catrice 040 "Don't Let me Brow'n" pencil, H&M powder over that and the Maybelline Brow Drama, dark blonde, over everything to set the eye brow hairs in place, 

Products used for my eyes;

Eye shadows; my favourite NYX "Love in Paris" palette.  I used the gold shade on my lid (top in the middle), the dark brown on the inner corner of my crease (the one beneath the gold), the orange colour as my base colour for the crease and the red-ish colour shade down below all over the crease.  To highlight my tear duct, I used the same Stefania D'Alessandro eye shadow in "Pearl". 

And yes of course I used the NYX Liquid Eye liner for my winged liner.  I absolutely love NYX products, I think they are sooo amazing and affordable!  There are so many extremely expensive make up products and then you can find the exact same product for nearly half the price or more.  

Then I lined my waterline with the Catrice 010 Ultra Black eye pencil - which is amazing!  I bought it for around 2 euros and 50 cents I think....and it's just fantastic.  The brow pencil was also around the same price and it's great.  Super happy with these two new purchases.  

Moving on to mascara; Essence "Multi-Action" volume mascara and then I applied my Minx False Eye lashes which are also so beautiful!!! I bought them off EBAY for only 2 euros - isn't that crazy right?! And look how beautiful they look. 

And that's it right there!!  This gorgeous eye look with a bright lip, perfect for the festive season.  I am really sorry that the picture quality isn't that great of my photos....however, I am hoping that with my new camera which I will be getting on Christmas, I'll manage to capture amazing photos of my make up looks. So stay tuned for those!! 

And my next blog post is going to be a New Year's Eve look, totally excited for that one, are you guys excited?

Would truly love to wish all my friends, family and you guys - a very Merry Christmas!  Hope this special day brings lots of love and happiness to you all.  Thank you all for supporting me with my blog, you have no idea how much this means to me.  Love bumping into some of my friends and then they'll be praising me about my blog, means the world to me so THANK YOU!!!  

So much love to you all - Suzanne P.D. 

Stefania D'Alessandro Make Up

Hey everyone and welcome back!

This post is going to be about this make up brand called Stefania D'Alessandro.

Last Saturday I attended an event about this make up brand and their were two extremely talented make up artists applying make up on others using just Stefania D'Alessandro products.  I went with my sister and I got to witness the make up artist applying the products on my sister and I can truly say that the make up looks amazing.  The eye shadows were all so pigmented and there were so many beautiful colours.  This is all professional make up.  The foundation, powders, eye shadows, the mascara, etc; were just all amazing.  I am definitely going to buy more products from this brand.

The eye shadows definitely were my favourite product from this brand.  They had a whole set of glittery eye shadows that were just to die for! You could also buy the palette and then buy the individual eye shadows so that you could place them there.   Like this your eye shadows wouldn't be running around everywhere which I thought was such a great idea.  Here are the eye shadows below:

I bought the first eye shadow on the top left, which is called Pearl.  It is a beautiful shimmery white eye shadow, which is perfect for the inner corner of the eye, under the brow bone and as a highlighter - for the cupid's bow, nose and your cheekbones.  It's a perfect eye shadow and highlighter!  I bought the individual eye shadow for 14 euros.  It's quite big and you do not need to apply a lot of product because it's extremely pigmented, I feel it's totally worth the price.  Below there's the photo.

I totally fell in love with this eye shadow and I totally recommend this product :)  Stefania D'Allessandro is such an amazing brand, with extremely pigmented and long lasting products, definitely worth a try!

Do you own any products from this brand? 

Lots of Love - Suzanne P.D.

Grad Ball Make up Look!

Hey everyone and welcome back!

I feel it's been a while since I last posted something and I apologize for that.  Today's post is going to be about a beautiful glittery and shimmery make up look which is perfect for the Grad Ball!!  As some of you might know, on Saturday 12th of December, there is the KSU Grad Ball, basically a graduation party.  I will be going with my best friend and I'm so excited!  The first thing that comes to my mind when someone mentions the Grad Ball are beautiful dresses, glitter and loads of glam.  So, of course you would need gorgeous make up and I chose to go for this look below - a silver shimmery cut crease eye look.  I feel it's perfect for this kind of event and your eyes would definitely pop!  You can also use a gold shimmery eye shadow which would look just as amazing.

For this make up look I used the Essence "All About Greys" palette and the Make Up Revolution "Awesome Metals" foil in Silver.  For my brows I used the Catrice eye brow pencil in the colour brown, their eye pencil on the water line and used their mascara also.  You all know what liquid eye liner I used for sure - it's my all time fav NYX eye liner. Create that beautiful slim wing to really make the look!

Here are two videos of the eye make up.  I feel in the videos you can really see that beautiful glittery silver eye shadow.  I used black and grey on the crease and  also blended that underneath to really create that smokey effect.  Add a pair of your fav false eye lashes and that's your eye make up complete!  I really love this look, it's perfect for a glam occasion. If you have any difficulties, please leave a comment below.

What do you think of this make up look? Will you be attending the Grad Ball? :)

Lots of love - Suzanne P.D.
