Series of Looks: Eurovision-Inspired!


Apart from makeup, my biggest interest is watching the Eurovision Song Contest every year. Eurovision is a contest held in Europe where countries that are part of the European Broadcasting Union send in an original song and act each year, and then they compete. Each country gets to allot points to their top ten acts, and the country with the most points at the end wins!

I love Eurovision- I'm part of several fan groups online, and recently, I've been using Eurovision songs to inspire my makeup looks. I actually worked up the courage to post a few looks to the fan groups, and they were met with a lot of praise, as well as requests for more looks inspired by specific songs! So I thought I might as well share a few of the looks here with you. The links to the songs are in the titles as well!

Latvia 2016: Heartbeat by Justs

The first Eurovision look I did, and still probably my favourite. I used my Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette on the eyes- mostly Destroyer for the red part of the lid, Muse for the lavender inner corner, and Echo for the lower lashline. I used Black Metal to deepen up the crease as well. On my lips is Blue Velvet Velour Liquid Lipstick by Jeffree Star Cosmetics.

Norway 2009: Fairtytale by Alexander Rybak

The winning song of 2009 with the most-ever points in Eurovision! I love Fairytale and Alexander Rybak so I just had to do a look for his song.  This look is mostly inspired by the act's stage presentation. I'm wearing the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette again- Analogue on the lid blended out with Fran, and Synth on the lower lashline. I'm wearing Makeup Geek's Fortune Teller in the inner corner and Colourpop's Piggy Bank Creme Gel Liner on my top lashline. On my lips is NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Life's a Beach.





Serbia 2010: Ovo Je Balkan by Milan Stankovic

This is such a fun song with a fun presentation! I used, again, the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette for the eyes. Swoon in the crease, Synth on the lid, and Anthem on the lower lashline. Skulls in the inner corner, and Colourpop Creme Gel Liner in Piggy Bank. Lips are the Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Backstage Bambi.





Netherlands 2016: Slow Down by Douwe Bob

This look was requested by some fans on facebook! I didn't like the song at first, but I listened to it the whole time I did my makeup and now I can't stop singing it. Plus Douwe Bob ain't hard on the eyes....
I used the Stila Eyes are the Window to the Mind palette, almost all of the warm shades. I focused on building up a warm crease and having a cozy, smokey, blown-out look. I put a bit of the Balm's Mary Lou Manizer in the inner corner. On my lips is Colourpop Tootsi.





 Russia 2014: Shine by the Tolmachevy Sisters

Like the song says, I wanted my look to shine! I used the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer and NYX Prismatic Shadow in Girl Talk on the Lids, with shadows from the previously mentioned Stila palette in the crease. I then focused on creating a glowy face- I mixed some Burberry Sheer Glow in with my foundation, then blended the e.l.f. all-over cover stick in Lilac Petal over my cheeks. I set the cream highlight with OFRA You Glow, Girl! Highlight. On my lips is an e.l.f. moisturizing lipstick that I can't remember the name of, sorry!



That concludes my first roundup of Eurovision-inspired looks, but there are many more to come, so stay tuned!

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop
