Soft daytime smokey eye using the Naked Basics Palette

Usually I wear eyeliner all the time, but for a while now I find that I like a fresher and brighter eye look without using any liner. So most of the time I am doing just a simple eyeshadow look, using only 2 or 3 colors. Here is a soft daytime smokey eye,  using the Basics Palette from Urban Decay.

I used the shade W.O.S all over the lid, Naked 2 in the crease, Faint in the outer corner of the eye, and finally I added a bit of Crave on top of Faint to darken it slightly. I also used the color Faint on the lower lashline as an eyeliner. The mascara I used is the Sexy Pulp ultra-volume mascara from Yves Rocher, it is one of my favorite mascaras untill now. On my lips I have the Mega Shine Lip Gloss in the color Nude Pink from Nyx. I have no foundation or blush.

How to incorporate some color in your life?

Are you guilty of wearing monocromatic outfits all the time?Are you reaching for the same black or brown eyeliner every morning?Is your nailpolish collection only constists of nude shades? As summer is here, it is time for you to make some little changes, and maybe incorporate some color in your life. Here are some easy tips on how to:

1. Instead of always reaching for a black or brown eyeliner, you could opt for a navy blue one, or if you are more adventurous maybe a purple or a turqoise one. It will be a nice twist on your make up, that for sure will attract some compliments.

2. Nude nailpolish is very classic, and perfect for every outfit or event. Perfect for school or work. But let's have some fun with color. Try out some pinks, corals, or some pastel colored nailpolish. It will help accentuate your tan aswell. Opi or Essie have some really fun colors, and they have it in mini sizes aswell.

3. Incorporating color into our outfits is is the easiest to achieve with some accesories. A colored belt, or a handbag will give a summer-ish vibe to the outfits, with almost no effort. There is no need for muticolored /printed clothes to achieve some change.


Wearing colors can also change our mood aswell, we all know that different colors have different affects on us.

Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow Duo-Sculpting/ Candlelight

    Whenever I hear about make-up brands like ByTerry, Hourglass, Tom Ford or Kevyn Aucoin, I  think about products that have the word *expensive* written on them. I was always thinking of ordering The Celestial Powder in Candelight, or The Sculpting Powder by Kevyn Aucoin, but I could never justify the price tag of these products, so they just ended up on my wish list. For those of us thinking about purchasing one of these famous powders, Kevyn Aucoin came up with the brilliant idea of creating a duo out of both best selling "Candelight" and "Sculpting".
