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.

As September has still been quite warm, I didn´t feel like changing up my makeup routine any time soon, but now I´m slowly switching a few products!
I have to say that in terms of makeup, the transition from summer to autumn is definitely a very fun thing. In summer I really don't wear much makeup, of course because of the temperatures, so I'm very happy to finally be able to reach a little deeper into the drawer again and put on a little more makeup.
In the beginning there are really only small changes for me, for example I can finally wear Foundation again, as well as eyeshadow and eyeliner. Nevertheless, I stay with lighter nude tones before I switch to cooler brown tones.
The following products are therefore currently in my daily makeup routine:
Base
For a long time I have used the NYX Angel Veil Primer as a primer. It is really so good! The most important thing for me with a primer is that it covers the pores around my nose to get an even skin texture. This primer fulfills exactly this point, it covers my pores very well without clogging them and also helps to keep my makeup in place. I always blend it in with the Zoeva Buffing Brush, it works very well and I just like it more than having the remains of the primer on my fingers.
My absolute favorite is the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. Wow, just wow! So far I've only heard good things about this product, but couldn't really imagine that a CC Cream can be as covering as a foundation - wrong thought. It gives such a beautiful skin complexion! Even, fresh and with a hint of glow. You can hardly notice that you have applied something and also when looking closely, there is no trace of a thick makeup layer to be seen. I can really recommend it!
I only apply the foundation with my Beauty Blender - it's hard to believe but the difference of the result when applied with this sponge or with a brush is really immense!
As Concealer I love the Maybelline The Eraser Concealer. I think it´s already my third bottle of it and I´ll keep using it. I find it has the perfect amount of coverage for everyday and it´s also so easy to blend with a damp sponge. It blends in really naturally and so it´s hardly noticeable that you´re wearing a concealer.

As a powder I have been using The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 003 Medium Mat for a long time, but no not as a bronzer but to set. The bronzer in this color is still so light that I can apply it to my whole face and get a more "beautiful" skin color for me, and not underline my paleness even more.
For a hint of colour I apply the Artdeco Bronzing Blush. A beautiful three-coloured blush which, when all colours are mixed together, gives a beautiful sun-kissed complexion. Unfortunately this is only available on the Artdeco website as it is a limited edition as far as I know.
Finally there are a few splashes of the Artdeco Fixing Spray and the base is done!
Brows & Eyes
When it comes to eyebrows, I really always switch between extremely filled, defined eyebrows and the more natural look, where I hardly fill up my eyebrows and just comb them. Right now I love the natural look!
For this I use the NYX Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomeda Pencil in Chocolate. I definitely prefer eyebrow pencils because they are easier to use. This one is really very strongly pigmented, so you have to be careful not to get Eding eyebrows, haha. With the brush on one side I comb my eyebrows upwards and then only fill out the tail and the lower line, because my eyebrows are generally thicker anyway, this is enough for me.
As Mascara my new darling, the Dior Diorshow Mascara, should not be missing. Since I have already talked about it in more detail in my previous post, I will now be short. Long, voluminous eyelashes that look like fake eyelashes.
Lips
Currently I use almost every day the Artdeco Hydra Care Lipstick in Rose Oasis. It is a really beautiful natural rosé shade, a little more pink but not too extreme. I really like it a lot and the best part is the moisture strip in the middle of the lipstick. It gives a lot of care to the lips, which feel really soft for a long time.
For a browner lipstick I love the MaxFactor Lipstick in Burnt Caramel. A nice pink/brown tone. It also looks a lot darker in the packaging than it really is. It also feels very pleasant on the lips and lasts very well and long.
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.

Have you tried any of these products?
What do you look for in a mascara, length or volume?
