Current Daily Make-Up for School



Welcome to a new post!

I personally like wearing make-up for school, and I am also allowed to, which I sometimes am pretty thankful for. I thought I would show you the things that I currently wear  on a daily basis to go there. 


I had a phase back during November and December when I just loved putting a lot of eyeshadow on, maybe because I felt like if I had to stress myself out with exams I could at least give myself some time for a nice eye look. I don't really know, but at the moment I am definetely back to a very quick and simple look, and prefer to rather put on a nice lipstick to top it off, since that takes a lot less time.


 Usually I start with putting some of my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer on my spots and blemishes. You will probably all know how much it is hyped, so I won't go into much detail, as I completely agree.
 I don't like that one for under my eyes though, because I want something a bit more creamy and less thick to actually feel a bit more awake and not just look like it. I don't really know why I feel like that, but I just go with it, and use my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer under my eyes. It was the first thing I actually spend a little bit more money on when I got into make-up and ever since then I have been repurchasing it over and over. This has to be like my 4th or 5th one, as I love it so much! It is really nice and creamy but not to thick, has an amazing colour to suit me (shade 15) and it stays on really well.


You might be thinking I am forgetting my eyebrows, but I am not. I go straight to my eyes, because I don't do anything to my eyebrows apart from setting them into place with a brush, as they are so bushy and black, no one believes me I ain't use any products on them. :D
So since I got my Naked palette for Christmas, I haven't been using any other palette since, as it has a perfect range of shades, for whatever colour I feel like using. My personal favourites so far are Naked, Buck, Half Baked and Smog. Depending on what I feel like I am either using some glittery shades with either Virgin or Buck to blend it, or if I am feeling like a little less colour, I will use Naked and Buck, or even nothing at all. 
I am so happy I finally own this palette, because it really is my favourite make-up product I own as I absolutely love the texture and shade range of the eyeshadows.


Then I am using my favourite mascara combo at the moment, which consists of the Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp one and the Maybelline Lash Sensational. I used to only use the Last Sesational, but I am currently really liking the mix of both of the mascaras, as I feel like the Yves Rocher one seperates my lashes really niceley while the Lash Sensational does and amazing job at lengthening.


Ever since I got back from England in March last year, I don't think I have been using any other powder than the Rimmel Stay Matte one. I only owned one powder before, but I was felt like you wear able to really clearly see it and it's colour, and it would get cakey after some time. With this one I don't get either of those problems, as I chose the transparent one, and it feels really nice on the skin and is really unnoticeable. I never had much truble with shinyness, but still absolutely love the finish of this powder.
Before I use powder I will sometimes use some concealer again under my eyes, if I feel like mascara made it appear a bit darker again, but that usually doesn't happen that often.


For lip products I usually like to go for something really natural, just to give it all a nice little ending touch, but not make it appear too much, not just because I am not really the person to wear that many darker shades on my lips.

One lip product that I go for sometimes which is a bit more colourful though is Zoe Sugg's Lip Balm in the shade or taste 'Vanilla Cream'. It gives your lips a really nice reddish, pinky colour but also moisturizes them really really well, much better than other coloured lip balms I have tried.
Then there is one of my newest addiotions to my collection, the Urban Decay lipstick in 'Rush'. It's a really nice natural rosy shade with a brown undertone, that makes it appear really smooth, which it actually feels like as well. 
Lastly for lip products I have been loving Fleur De Force's lipstick in '020 Written In The Stars'. It's almost like a lip stain I would say, and if you want something that looks like a lipgloss, as it's really glossy, but also something that stays on really long, these will be something for you.



I hope you enjoyed this post, even though there are a lot of these going around on the internet. Make sure to leave me some of your favourite make-up products for school or uni or work down below. :)


Love, Jacqueline Xx

Recent Beauty Purchases


Welcome to a new post!

I recently did some shopping, also from my vouchers and some newsletter and sale offers, so I thought I would show you the things that I bought. They should all still be available, so I will try to link everything that I got, if you are interested in any of the things that I bought.


 
I have wanted to get the raspberry body butter by The Body Shop for like forever, I mean for like at least four years or something. It smells SO FREAKING NICE! If you like the smell of raspberries, this will be something for you, because I do and I am obsessed! The smell really reminds me of the shampoo that I used in my childhood, the consistancy is really lovely and smooth as well, so what more could you want?



I actually got this at some point in November but didn't have the time to do a blog post about it, so I thought I would tell you about it now. I have wanted a MAC lipstick for literally like forever and then finally treated myself to the colour 'Brave' as an early birthday present to myself. It's probably one of my favourite things I have ever bought because I absolutely love it. It goes on so smoothly, is perfect for every day wear and also stays on really long. If you would still like a seperate blogpost let me know.



 I bought this for vanilla lipbalm at Yves Rocher for like 1,50€ and I really like it so far. It is definetely quite good for it's little price. They have it tons of different tastes, and I think I would definetely also pick up some of the other ones to try them out.



 I got this for free because of my Yves Rocher card which I think is so cool. It's the Sexy Pulp mascara. If you want a really natural look, this will probably be something for you. If you rather want a bit of a more dramatic look, like I do, you might want to put a different mascara on top of it. It is really good at seperating your lashes though!



I got this Urban Decay Lipstick in 'Rush' from one of my vouchers. I actually wanted a different colour, but I didn't notice that the lady gave me a different colour until I swatched it, which is really annoying. I don't even know what colour the one is that I wanted so I guess I'll have to try this one out instead. It's a bit more brown toned than the MAC one gladly, but since I have only worn it once I can't really tell you that much about it yet. There might be a blogpost about it as soon as I have made myself an opinion, so look out for that.



Let me know if you enjoyed this post and what beauty products you have recently purchased. Also tell me if there is anything that you would like me to check out or talk about, or if you would like to see some German beauty bits on my blog. :)
