Make-Up Artists - Destruction and Disaster! 😱 part I

   If you are a make-up artist who wants to go out of their way and show their customers flexibility and adaptability, you surely know what it is like working in chaotic environments. When your customers are preparing for an important event such as a wedding, baptism or funeral, they are all stressed, rushing for time, noisy and curious at the same time. Ok, morbid jokes aside! 
   You will absorb all of that energy and will still need to keep a steady hand. Sometimes, while you are focusing on your work of art and everybody else is focusing on everything else, the children can have access to things they shouldn't have access to. Like your make-up kit. 
   I would like to present the first product of many, that got into the wrong little hands and returned from war wounded:



    Oh well! Here you can see a look I created with this palette back when it was still not tarnished, hehe! In artificial and natural light:




Also, my first test video on my YouTube Channel was for this very look. I will totally update my filming tools, but meanwhile, please subscribe if you like my poor-quality test vids so far!

Make-Up Revolution - by Petra X palette

   This palette presents so many possibilities of looks, it's crazy. Being a busy bee, I haven't had the chance to play with it as much as I wanted to, but hopefully that will change soon! The sooner, the better.
   To me, Make-Up Revolution is a "controversial" brand, meaning some palettes/ shades can be really pigmented, some can be too sheer. I find that, in this particular palette, almost all of the shades are really pigmented, especially the matte ones. Here's a look I created with the by Petra X palette, and below, you can see some swatches done on a thin layer of primer.

Unicorn Hearts everywhere!

   I love unicorns in every shape or form, I really do. Even if everything unicorn-related is kinda' cliche nowadays, in this case I can get over the "trend" part and enjoy it. 
   I Heart Revolution came up with this Unicorn Hearts palette which is in their same playfully-themed, whimsical line. In my opinion, you do need some Fix+ and/or primer to bring out the best of it, even the sparkly shades. However, I can totally say it is worth it! Below, you can see a look I created with this palette, also some additional swatch videos on my Instagram !

Mystery palette? GORGEOUS

Let's admit it, sometimes we are attracted by looks at first! That is what happened with this (sort of?) noname palette that I spotted on a trip this summer. 
It has so many things written on it that I don't know which the brand or name really is, if you know,please comment below, I appreciate it! The neat packaging stole my heart, it is very "extra" and good quality, so far it survived a music festival and a long bumpy ride home. It is intact and prettier than ever.



It will surely make a lovely piece in my collection, but does it work as well as it looks, for the reasonable price it had? Swatches and review soon ❤️

Neutrogena and Vichy moisturizing essentials

   Hello darlings! Today, I would like to present to you two summer essentials that added a plus to my skincare routine and turned out to make a significant difference.


 
- Neutrogena HYDRO BOOST express hydrating spray -  Basically, I use this any time I feel like my skin is a bit dry and can use a sip of water. Having a combination to oily skin, I never really found any moisturizers that can well be used under make-up and not make-it look the least bit damp or oily in a very short time. I can use this one because it is lightweight and gets absorbed very quickly, leaving the skin silky smooth. The packaging is a basic plastic spray, so you needn't worry about breaking it by accident.

- Vichy MINERAL 89 fortifying and plumping daily booster - This one is a bit more luxurious and I felt like it is more intensely hydrating, it works like a serum so I mainly used it in the evening, under a moisturizing night cream. I tried using it on it's own under make-up as well, it works but made my skin look oily faster in the T-zone, thing that I am very picky about. However, during the night it absorbs well along with a cream and the skin feels like a dream in the morning. The packaging feels pretty heavy and also the product is more expensive.

What moisturizing bonuses do you give your skin?
