I mentioned it a lot of times before but I love a dramatic "false lashes"-finish, so a good mixture between length and volume but a bit more volume. Some of you might´ve read my post "The False Lashes Look" where I´ve mentioned how much I love the Dior Diorshow Pump´n´Volume Mascara - well I wanted to repurchase it but accidentally got this Dior Diorshow Mascara.
Well that´s definitely a different way to try out new products, haha. Luckily I´m not dissapointed in my wrong order at all, this mascara is just as lovely as the other one but more for the natual look!
Consistency
The first thing I´ve noticed when opening the tube is the heavy perfume scent this mascara has. It smells really good and flowery but I could imagine that it is a problem for girls with sensitive eyes. For me it´s totally fine though and so it kinda shows what a luxury product it is, I don´t know but it kinda gives me the feeling of luxury cause I never had a makeup product that smelled that good!
The consistency itself is really nice to apply, it´s not as sticky and wet as the cheaper mascaras so you get a voluminous look right from the start. It´s really the perfect mascara for everyday as after the first layer you get a really natural look with a bit of volume and nicely separated lashes and with the second layer it gets a bit more dramatic without looking too much!
Once the mascara is dried down it doesn´t budge or crumble, I find it´s the worst thing ever when you have black spots or smudges under your eyes, which happens normally quite often as I´m someone who gets watery eyes really fast when I´m laughing for example. As it holds onto your lashes that well, it takes a bit longer to remove it aswell. I use a oil-infused micellar water and wet my lashes with it a bit before rubbing the cotton pad all over to get it off and even then I need a bit patience haha. My lashes still feel very soft though when wearing the mascara so it´s all good and comfortable.
So even though I bought this mascara more or less by accident, I really enjoy using it!
It´s something you can treat yourself to, if you are someone who likes a bit of luxury in your daily makeup routine. I love the finish, the feeling while wearing it - like it not drying my eyes or making them itchy - and of course that it´s smells so good like a flowery feminine perfume!

The Brush
I love these kind of mascara brushes. They just give you the perfect amount of volume and length and still separates your lashes. With that kind it´s also really easy to built the effect and amount on your lahses. The mascara itself doesn´t stick or gets clumpy on this brush aswell which I find is also really important when applying it to your bottom lashes - nothing is worse than wet clumpy bottom lashes.
The Finish
On the picture below you can see what the finish looks like after two layers - layers as in applying mascara once waiting a bit for it to dry and then apply another layer. For my liking one layer is "too natural" I´m more the type to put the main focus on my eyes and that´s definitely possible with this mascara. As you can see pretty well here aswell is that with the brush my lashes are beautifully separated but not too much "spider lashes", they still cling together at the roots which gives you an effect of a bit extra volume without looking clumpy.

Post a Comment
Lately I have been experimenting more with my makeup again and have also watched more tutorials on Instagram or generally how other girls apply makeup, so of course my wish list got longer as well.
I have been using some products on my wish for a while and they really have become favorites, which I will certainly buy again and again, others looked so great on other girls that I absolutely need them now and again others are absolute new products, where I just already know that they will be amazing haha.
My Favorites
IT Cosmetics CC Cream
I've already tried several different foundations, but IT Cosmetic's CC Cream really beats them all. Although it is high coverage, it doesn't look cakey on the skin, rather the opposite - the skin looks more even and simply more beautiful. Redness, pores and blemishes are easily concealed without irritating the skin as this CC Cream contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, B, C and E among others. In addition, it has a SPF of 50+, so perfect for all year round!
I think there are 3 different versions of this CC Cream already. So far I've tried the original and the illumination one - I think the illumination is a bit too glowy for me, because when wearing it, I get the urge to apply more powder haha. The original is a perfect mix of Glow and Matt and therefore brings a very natural skin appearance.
Dior Diorshow Mascara
I had already talked about this mascara in a previous post, but again for everyone - it's absolutely awesome!
The Formula is enriched with microfibres and so gives your lashes extra length but at the same time also a lovely amount of volume. In my opinion it kinda looks like fake lashes when I have this mascara on. Another plus is the "Air-Lock" Brush, with this brush the mascara dries out more slowly than any other mascaras as there´s no way any air can get into the tube. Apparently this mascara is also used for the Dior Fashion Shows and if that doesn´t make you want to try it, I don´t know what will, haha.
Shiseido Controlled Chaos Mascara
Another great Mascara is the Controlled Chaos Mascara from Shiseido. I use it ever since my sample of the Dior Mascara is empty and it´s so hard to decide between these two! This one gives less volume, but makes my eyelashes so long, but without making them look like spider lashes. In addition, I don't even need an eyelash curler to get a nice curl, the mascara does that all by itself.
The Formula is a lot wetter, but if it's a bit dry, you can work with it very well.

Pixi Glow Tonic
An absolute classic! If you haven't tried Pixi's Glow Tonic yet, you should do so as soon as possible! At the beginning I couldn't imagine what would be different about it than about other tonics, but my skin has changed so positively since I use this product. The skin was on the one hand not so oily anymore, but had a healthy shine and on the other hand I hardly got any blemishes! It is so rare that I get pimples now. I always think I got most of my makeup off after using my beloved micellar water, but when I apply this tonic afterwards, so much more dirt and makeup gets of my skin, and so I can feel a huge difference immediately.
So I'm absolutely thrilled and can't say more about it than that everyone has to try it out!

BECCA Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder
Well, actually, loose powders aren't mine at all. I always find they feel really heavy and weird on the skin and clog my pores more than covering them - not to start with the white backflash that some loose powders give when pictures are taken with lightning - ugh!
But this loose powder from Becca consists of 50% water and glycerine, which gives the skin a kind of blur effect and therefore definitely sounds great. Because of the water mixture, the powder gives moisturize to the skin, so it doesn't crumble like some other powders. The color selection is now rather semi, but I think you should be able to work with it just fine to set your concealer properly.
Origins GinZing Tinted Moisturizer
I love Tinted Moisturizer! They always give a really beautiful natural shine and let the skin look more even. In summer, when I use makeup, I prefer them, because they are a lot better for the skin than normal makeup in the heat. With this one I'm even more sure it's a bomb, as the GinZing series is generally great. I used the Moisturizer myself once and was very happy with it.
The product matches itself to the skin tone and also protects the skin with a SPF 40.

Fenty Beauty
Meanwhile everyone says how lovely Fenty Beauty products are, but there are still a few people who have never tried anything - here I am!
To be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed with the selection, but a few products have already stood out for me due to many recommendations. On the one hand the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Girl Next Door / Chich Phreak - an absolute beautiful peach-coloured highlighter. I can imagine that it gives a wonderful touch of colour and freshness especially on light skin. I would also like to have the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fenty Glow. This is an incredibly beautiful nude colored gloss that makes the lips look fuller and that can never hurt haha.
Last but not least I would like to have the Photoshop in the tube - the Pro Filt´r Longwear Foundation + the Pro Filt´r Primer. I saw this duo on a girl on Instagram once and it looked like Photoshop! Since she also posted InstaStories with this foundation, it really can only be the foundation that gave this incredible finish. I really need them!
Soon-to-be Favorites
Ardell Individual 3D-Lashes
I prefer individual lashes to classic fake eyelashes. For me they are easier to apply and I can always decide for myself how many I want where, or where I want to put the accents. So far I only have very natural lashes from KISS, but recently 3D Individual Lashes from Ardell came out and my heart was beating faster! When I still had my eyelash extension, I always had 3D lashes, so with those from Ardell I could theoretically get exactly the same look again, so I'm really looking forward to trying them out soon.
Coach Blush Parfüm
Since I discovered Coach's perfumes, I don't use any others. The two previous versions, Classic and Floral, smell so pleasant and hold so well without being too heavy in the nose. So when I saw at a beauty fair that another new version was released, I was very happy! Of course I tried it right away and it is my favourite fragrance of all three versions. It doesn't smell as flowery as the floral, but still very feminine and fresh. The ingredients here are grapefruit, goji berry, peach and peony, among others, so it doesn't get any better than that.
As soon as my current perfume is empty, I´ll buy it.

Who doesn't want them?
Long, voluminous thick eyelashes.
The first idea that comes to my mind are fake eyelashes to stick on, but there are a few problems.
On the one hand the motivation or the effort to glue them on every morning, and on the other hand, and I'm now referring directly to myself - the skill to make the eyelashes properly stick on. When I'm just thinking about how each time it ends in a time-consuming frustration to put the fake eyelashes close enough to my lashes or when it works out, the corners come loose again, and the spectacle starts all over again, I'm overwhelmed by an inner wave of stress, haha - so great respect to all the girls who manage it every time beautifully, I'm really jealous.
In between I had tried eyelash extensions again and again, and I loved them! Unfortunately they were relatively harmful for my own eyelashes, because the fake eyelashes became too heavy at some point and pressed my eyelashes down, then fell out with them and sometimes they didn't keep up with the growing, because I had my refill appointments every 4 weeks.
However I can really recommend this alternative for vacation or birthday, I myself had 13mm long eyelash extensions for my 20th birthday and it really looked bomb!
As I said though, this is not a permanent solution.
Now comes the big but, I have found a "natural" way to achieve this result.
Revitalash
Some of you may already know this miracle serum.
I've been using it for about 2 years and I'm absolutely amazed.
Before my first application, I had very short, light and actually blonde eyelashes. I was very unhappy with them and then, thank God, got the recommendation to try this serum.
It takes about 4 weeks to see any results at all, but when it starts it's really a dream. The eyelashes are getting darker, almost deep black, thicker and harder - so the eyelashes stay curled a lot longer, and especially the eyelashes themselves are getting sooo much longer!

Mine even went almost up to my eyebrows after a while.
The serum contains ingredients such as biotin, ginseng extract and marigold extract, is a transparent liquid and I always apply it to my lash line before going to bed.

I have to admit it is definitely not a cheap product, but on sites like Flaconi it is often reduced to about 70€-80€ for the 2ml size.
I always buy this size and it lasts me for 4-5 months, so it´s totally fine.

Dior Diorshow Mascara
My first Dior Makeup product and it's really incredible!
I love mascaras that give the lashes more length than volume and this mascara gives the perfect combination of both. It is also important to me that my mascara does not crumble, does not smear, does not itch and is easy to remove.
All points are checked off with this one.

The mascara formula is apparently completely new and has been enriched with microfibres.
This results in the "longer lashes" effect and the lashes appear thicker. I can definitely confirm this, as you can see here from the before and after picture.
What's also really great is the "Air-Lock" brush, so the formula hardly comes into contact with oxygen and dries out much slower than any other mascara.

The application is also super easy, I don't apply the mascara in zigzag movements, but blink through - so I put the brush on my lashes and close my eye lightly, I find that this way the eyelashes don´t stick together and get a little longer again aswell.
Unfortunately a more expensive product again, but I would be willing to pay even more for it, haha.

That's it with my power duo.
I absolutely love it, have also often received compliments for this look and will continue to invest in these products hahaha.
