Enchanted Eve
As you might have noticed I’m a bit obsessed with MAC, so of course I’d been waiting in anticipation for the holiday collections to launch and here’s what I purchased online (I also purchased another product in store which I’ll show you soon). It’s the Enchanted Eve pink lip bag, and as you can see it comes with a make-up bag, a lipstick, a lipglass and a lip pencil. All of these products are not for individual sale, so you can only get them in this holiday set.
The lipstick is called Goodbye Kiss and it’s in an amplified finish. It’s a limited edition shade and it’s described as a cool mid-tone pink. I love the amplified finish and this colour is just stunning. It’s a very wearable pink; great for everyday use.
The lipglass is called Frozen Dreams and is a repromoted shade. It’s described as a medium pink rose, and as you can see it has shimmer in it. Usually I’m not much for shimmery lip products, but I don’t think the shimmers in this product are that noticable on the lips. I’ve been wearing it in the centre of my lips on top of the Goodbye Kiss lipstick, and I think it looks gorgeous.
The lip pencil is called Just Wonderful and it’s also a limited edition shade. It’s described as a dirty mauve and like the lipglass it has shimmer in it, but again it’s not that noticable on the lips when you wear a lipstick on top. The colour is a bit darker than the lipstick and lipglass, but the three products look amazing together. I think they made my lips look pretty and plump. I’ll post pictures of me wearing these products soon.
Very last of October
I thought this was last outfit from October that I had pictures of, but I had apparently forgotten about this outfit which is strange because I wore it the next day (Thursday October 29). Anyways, this is the very last outfit I have pictures of from October:)
(Trousers – Primark, shirt – Gina Tricot, booties – Monki)
Drugstore goodies
I’ve run out of my favourite nail polish top coat, and I think it might be discontinued, so I needed a new top coat. Since my last one was from Rimmel I decided to try another one from Rimmel, and so far so good. Because there was a 3 for 2 deal on Rimmel I obviously picked up to more products. I decided to get the Lasting Finish 25H foundation which is a full coverage foundation. I already have the 25H nude one which is the medium coverage version, and I love that one, and so far I like this one too. The last Rimmel product I bought was another Provocalips liquid lipstick. It’s in the colour 500 Kiss Me You fool, and it’s a gorgeous bright red. The drugstore also had a 2 for 1 deal on Maybelline mascaras so I stocked up on my favourite. As you can see I also bought some new eyelash curlers, because my old ones had seen better days:)
Nice and neutral
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve worn the eye make-up and the lip combo before, but not together as far as I remember. I think it looks really good though; nice and neutral.

Last of October
Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 28. This is the last outfit from October that I have pictures of, so now at least I’m not a month behind any more.

Two huge loves
I have a huge love for sweatshirts and grey ones in particular. I also have a huge love for pizza, so when I came across this sweatshirt at H&M a little while back, I just had to have it.
Ombré lip
Here’s the make-up I wore the day I compared these cream eye shadows. Because I couldn’t do much with my eye make-up, I decided to try an ombré lip look, and I think it looked really nice.
(Lips: Maybelline Colorsensational lip liner in 140 Intense Pink + MAC Margherita lipstick)
Comparison: nude cream eye shadows
In my last comparison post, I mentioned that it had been four months since I had made another comparison post, and now here’s already another one.
When I bought the Maybelline Colour Tattoo cream eye shadow (colour: Créme De Rose 91) in Munich I thought it might be similar in colour to my favourite cream eye shadow base, MAC’s Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, but I had no idea it was that similar. I swatched them on my hand next to each other (MAC’s on the left, Maybelline’s on the right), and as you can see, they’re almost identical in colour; the Maybelline one is a tiny bit more pink and a tiny bit darker (it’s a bit more noticeable on the eyelid).
I tested both eye shadows at the same time, and you can see which eye I wore which shadow on below. I’m wearing The Body Shop Eye Colour in 07 on top on the cream shadows. Both eyes looked equally good right after application. The Maybelline one felt a bit more tacky and gel-like, but it does say on the product that it’s a gel-cream eye shadow. My eye shadow lasted well throughout the day on both eyelids. The ‘after’ pictures were taken quite late, and I had worn my make-up for many hours, and I don’t expect my eye make-up to look perfect at the end of the day. It looks like the MAC Paint Pot creased a bit more than the Maybelline Color Tattoo, but the difference wasn’t that huge.
To sum up I really enjoy both of these cream shadows, but I have to say that I still use my MAC Painterly Paint Pot a lot more than the Maybelline Color Tattoo. I think it’s a question of habit, but if you don’t want to pay the price of the Paint Pot, I would definitely recommend the Color Tattoo as well.
Red sunset
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing the Maybelline lipstick I bought in Munich, and I love the colour and the formula.
