//Photo Series: My new vanity

Hi Internet,

I hope you guys are okay as I am ill. Again. Probably because school is stressing me out so much.

Oh well, just a few more weeks and I'm done.

Anyway, during my winter holidays I finally had enough time to assemble my vanity area and, as it's my favourite part of my room, I thought I should share some pics with you :)

I love it.

Haven't put all of my makeup in the drawer yet, and I probably won't just because it looks so clean right now haha 

// Review: Urban Decay Naked Smoky

Hey ho Internet,

it's me again.

And I finally found enough time for testing my new baby and telling you about my first impression.

I've been curious about the new Naked palette by Urban Decay, I loved my Naked 3 because it's so rosey and pretty but I've been looking for something darker for a long, long time.

So when I heard about UD releasing a new palette, I was super excited and I just had to buy it.

The Urban Decay Naked Smoky is per-fect!

 The shades are awesome and they're high pigmented, but I'd always recommend an eyeshadow base just for making the shades pop out more and to prevent crumbling.

The first look I created with this is a simple, not-too-dark smokey eyes makeup which you'll find at the end of this post :)

Talking about the packaging I have to admit that this has to be my fave.

I mean, look at it. the smoke in the background... 

Also, the brush that comes with this palette is better than the one you get along with Naked 3.

The shades are called:

High-Dirtysweet-Radar-Armor-Slanted-Dagger-Black Market-Smolder-Password-Whiskey-Combust-Thirteen

Password, Whiskey, Combust and Thirteen are mattes and Black Market is such a pretty, satin-finish black and so far, they're my favourites.

Okay so for the first look I created, I used:

-Combust

-Whiskey

-Thirteen

-Black Market

First, I put some of Combust on the crease, followed by Whiskey, which i also used for creating a wing. Then I blended both of them as good as possible and continued with dabbing Thirteen on the lid, except on the outer corner.

For the outer corner and the lash lines, I used Black Market.

And it's all about blending haha

This is like the first time that I ever created a smokey eye that didn't look like pure shit haha

And excuse the bad quality..

It's just, I sit in front of my window when I'm taking photos for my blog and as it's autumn, it's just dark and grey all the time...

But I'll maybe get a ring light very soon so yeah...

Have a fab day

// (Easter) Shopping Haul

Hey Internet,

I've got to be honest: I wanted to post this blogpost somewhen last week but as school started again, I barely had time to do anything beside homework and I woke up really early today (at 6am. What the pug is wrong with me ew) and did my homework for the next week and now I'm a free elf.

And I finally have enough time for blogging again. YAS!

As the title says, this will be a haul about some things I bought during the Easter holidays and before you guys start forejudging me: I saved money for this occasion and the Easter bunny was very generous this year :)

So, during the holidays, Anika and I went to Berlin as we wanted to get some clothes for our 5SOS concert in 27 days.

Let me just say one thing: I ended up buying a lot of things, just not for the concert. Ugh.

Anyway, I should start now haha

And the first thing I'm going to show you is a product that has been on my wishlist for such a long time but I've always been too thrifty.

The excuse I was telling myself was that I'm getting this myself as an Easter present haha

And it's the Urban Decay Naked 3.

It's beautiful.

The shades are awesome and you can wear them all day. When you're off to school, in the afternoon or when you go clubbing.

Along with my smashbox contour kit and my mac lipsticks it's probably my fave beauty product haha

UD Naked 3 - 47.99€

And of course we went to Primark.

I wanted to get a makeup bag for school and I ended up using it as a pencilcase haha

It's just too cute.

I bought a shirt, a sweater and two pairs of shoes as well haha

And a new choker that I'm going to wear at the wedding next month :)

Makeup bag - 4€

Choker - 2.50€

Polka Body Mist - 3.50€ <- I RECOMMEND THIS SO MUCH HAHA

T-Shirt "Brad Leo Ryan Zac Channing" - 10€

Sweater "is it the weekend yet?" - 9€

I love this one so much.

The sheer fabric makes it a perfect top for spring days when the sun is hiding behind the clouds.

Round sunglasses with matte frame - 2.50€

Trainers - 13€

Trainers - 13€

Let's take a look at what I bought when we went to Mac and Lush :)

Space Girl bathbomb - 3.95€

Grease Lightning Spot Treatment - 9.95€

Unfortunately, I don't recommend this at all as it doesn't help. 

But I'll continue using it.

Still hoping it'll help someday haha

I had a bit of a MAC binge during the holidays.

As you may know, I love everything that's MAC (even their foundation matches my skintone, wow!)

So when my grandma asked me, what I wanted for Easter I said a new lippy and a lipliner.

And when she said it'd be okay if I ordered them I was beyond surprised, as MAC is a bit expensive.

But anyway, that day I ordered a lipstick and a lipliner.

Brave, which is a rosy nude for 20€ and Plum, a brownish red lipliner for 16€

When we went to Berlin, I couldn't help but buy another lipstick and two lipliners.

I went to every MAC store or shop that had a MAC counter as I was looking for Velvet Teddy until someone told me it was sold out worldwide.

Ugh.

But I found Honey Love (20€) instead.

And I'd say it's my fave nude lipstick so far.

It has a matte finish and is neither too dark nor too light.

I love wearing it together with the Whirl lipliner (16€) for the ultimate Kylie Jenner lips haha

And I bought the Soar lipliner (16€) which I'm going to wear along with Brave.

Right: Honey Love

Swatches from left to right: Brave, Honey Love, Whirl, Soar, Plum
