Valentine's Day Makeup & Nails

Hey Beauties!

Valentine's Day is here. I thought about joining Živa's Valentine Project from Nothin' Fancy. Really. So, I created a little makeup look and quick nail design. Valentine's Day is a great business day for flower and candy shops. I think it's important to love each other any day of the year. However, the Valentine's Day is a perfect excuse to get your bum up, go somewhere and enjoy you're loved ones. It's also an excuse to eat a lot of chocolate goodies and treat yourself, because you should love yourself first and then others. 



As for my makeup look, I wanted to accent the eyes, because they truly are a window to the soul. I think eyes are the sexiest part of your face and use eye shadows that will accentuate them. I always think purple goes well with my dark eyes, so I went for a soft champagne purple eye makeup, glowy cheeks and nude lips. 






For my nails I painted them red and pink. On one of them I drew lips and on the other two little hearts. Pretty simple and the colors are perfect for Valentine's.


Be happy today and treat your loved ones or yourself ;)

Soft pink makeup

Hey Beauties!

So lately all I've been putting on my blog are reviews. What can I say, I got a lot of stuff for Christmas and my birthday and I also couldn't resist a lot of online sales. So more reviews of products are still coming. But this time I wanted to put a little makeup look in between those. I hope you like it ;)


I did a very soft pink almost rose inspired makeup look. Pink is one of those colors that I am somewhat afraid of using. Especially on the eyes. I think I'm not the only one. It seems hard to pull it off if you're skin is more warm toned. But I put it together with warm browns and kind of like it right now. You decide for yourself.

For the eyes I mixed two pink shades for all over the lid. I mixed one light pink, which had a peach undertone and a bright fuchsia pink. Then I went in the crease with a warm toned light brown matte shade. In the outer corner I put violet toned brown shade.


I also put the violet brown shade on the lower lid. In the inner corner of the eye I used light pink gel liner and smudged it. Then I used black gel liner and created a really thin liner with just a little wing on the outside corner. Finished with lots and lots of mascara.




On the face I only used liquid pearl highlighter on the tops of the cheeks and a bit on the cheeks as well. I also put on a warm toned pink blush.

On the lips I used light shimmery warm toned pink lipstick and later on some of the photos also topped it of with a bit of pink lip gloss mixture.


And that's my finished pretty soft pink look.
Let me know what you think.  Do you use pink eye shadow?
