There are probably over hundred of different tools and brushes on the market but the following 4 really have caught my eyes and really makes doing my makeup a lot more fun.
Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette
Cleaning your brushes is probably the most annoying part ever! It needs to be done though, in order to keep your brushes in a good condition and also your skin will benefit from that! This Brush Cleansing Palette from Real Techniques makes this task atleast a bit better and also really fast done! It is made out of silicone and has a band on the backside to slip your hand through and have a good hold on the palette.
Inside the palette are three different surfaces, I pretty much put a bit of water into the palette, a drop of baby shampoo and swirl my brushes over all 3 surfaces.
This way I´m sure every brush gets a deep clean.
Eyebrow Spool Brush
You can´t really start doing your brows before brushing them through.
I think most of us use this tool everyday and we forget how "important" it is in our everyday makeup routine and so I really had to mention it in this post.
I brush mine downwards fill them in, brush upward fill them in, and after I´m completely done I also brush them in the right direction.
If I have a bad brow day, this tool is basically the last hope I have to make them atleast a bit presentable, haha.
Sephora Tweezer
As much as I love getting my brows done professionaly, I simply don´t have the money and time to head there every 2 weeks when the hair around my brows starts to grow again.
So I have to pluck them as good as possible myself and that can be quite hard if the lighting isn´t good enough to make every little hair visible. Well with this tweezer this problem solved itself. It has a little light in it which you can switch on and point directly onto the hairs you need to pluck.
One of the best inventions by far!
Real Techniques Core Collection
I have quite a huge brush collection, but this brush collection is by far the most used one I own. They are just amazing, so soft, you can use all four brushes for various purposes and they´re also really quick and easy to clean in case you need to switch the product you want to use it for. I use the Buffer Brush for blending in foundation, concealer and correcting the amount of blush or bronzer I´ve put on. The Contour Brush is being used to blend in concealer, set it, and apply highlighter. And lastly I use Pointed Foundation Brush and Detailer Brush for correcting any fall-outs or places where my foundation has moved.

Makeup sponges have become more and more a staple in the beauty world. I, personally love them a lot, it´s just way easiser to blend your makeup in, you won´t find any streaks on your face left, like you would if you´d use a brush, and I find that they are also a lot easier to clean.
It´s my birthday on the 7th of April, and guess what day it is tomorrow? Exactly, my birthday :) I´m really excited to turn 17 and be one step closer to being full age and being able to do a lot of fun stuff (I´m thinking about going clubbing until the morning hours, haha)
As tomorrow is just a normal school day for me I´ll keep my makeup for the day really minimal and go for my normal routine which consists of a bit concealer, mascara and doing my eyebrows.
For the late afternoon I´ll refresh my whole look a bit and add some eyeshadow, highlighter, blush and lipstick.
I´ve listed the products I used below :)
Another month is over, so it´s again time to show you what I´ve been wearing around on my face throughout the month of march.
If you have seen the other two monthly makeup posts you might have noticed that my bases get lighter and lighter with a lot less coverage. I like to keep my looks very simple as I only mainly go to school and therefor don´t really need to pack on a full makeup look.
I would describe this month´s look as minimalistic, light and glowy.
One of my favourite steps in my daily makeup routine is applying foundation.
I love the difference it can make when it is applied with the right tools.
There are sooo many different ones, from sponges to many different types of brushes, that´s why I like to change and try new brushes out every now and then.
My two favourites so far have to be the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and the Zoeva Silk Finish Brush (13€). Both are really popular amongst the blogger world so I thought I would share what I think of them and compare them to each other. Both are definitely worth trying out though, so go for what you want to :)
Christmas is over again and that´s when it´s time to be extra nosey about who got what for christmas. I love these kinds of post, not only because of seeing what you all got, but also because then my wishlist gets a whole lot longer. Bad for my bank balance, but oh well haha :)
Since the start of December I have been writing everything down that I would like to get, whether as a present for christmas, birthday, etc. from my loved ones or to just treat myself and since Easter is coming up aswell I took this as a great opportunity to share my very own ultimate wishlist. This is going to be a veery long post, so get yourself a nice cup of tea, get comfortable and be prepared for a lot of rambling :)
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, there has been a big hype in the blogger world about this product, I think simply because you get a highlighter and blush all in once with a rich pigmentation (perfect for upcoming spring) in a very simple but still luxiouris packaging and to be honest could there be anything better? I don´t think so.
Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil, I actually can´t really remember why I wanted to get this but I heard some really good things about this product and even on the website it says it helps to dissolve surface impurities and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or dry, sounds good to me :)
Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, the Queen herself has written a book about her 25+ years of makeup artist experience, and even on how to become a makeup artist yourself. This book is also filled with over 200 full-colour photos, step-by-step instructions, tutorials on how to apply your makeup in less than 10 minutes, etc.
MAC Creme Cup Lipstick, I´m on the hunt for the perfect everyday nude lipstick for a while now and this is meant to be the lipstick that sticks up to all my expectations. It is a creme sheen lipstick, so it´s also really creamy, which I love :)
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter in Soft and Gentle, again there has been a huge hype about this product, it has been seen on so many celebritys and can be found in almost every bloggers dressing table. It is a nice peachy tone with a hint of golden shimmer in it. This highlighter is meant to give you a nice glowy finish and thus perfect for spring and summer :)
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, I have been wanting this palette for sooooo long now, but just couldn´t find the perfect moment to actually buy it, it has always been out of stock and when it was back again, I didn´t have any money left :( Apart from that, this palette is the perfect match of girly, matte, glittery, pinky, nudey shades. I already own the Naked 2 and so I know that I will love the pigmentation!
Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray, this is what the most recent hype is about, it´s a must-have for everyone who is too lazy or simply too busy to retouch your makeup every few hours. It is said to be ultra-light and to has a temperature control technique.
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, I have seen so many people own and use this palette, it´s insane! For me this palette is a good mixture between natural everyday colours and extraordinary colours to experiment with and also matte and glittery colours. Apparently it´s smells like chocolate, so this is a sweet bonus that this palette has :)
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette, this palette has won my heart! It just looks so girly and it seems like you could only use shades from this palette, mix them together and you´re good to go.Therefore this would be something for when I´m traveling and don´t want to pack all kinds of different eyeshadows.
Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Blush Palette, I have laid my eyes on this palette for quite some time now. It just has a good match of all different kinds of blush shades and could maybe be also used for contouring and highlighting.
Makeup Revolution 100 Eyeshadow Palette, just recently I came up with the idea that I really need a palette that also contains colours that I normally wouldn´t go for, and this palette is just what I´ve been searching for! It´s amazing for the price and I´ve heard the pigmentation is really good aswell :)
YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, this is what I imagine as pure luxus put in a bottle. This foundation simply has something that tells me to buy and love it. I have seen some youtubers use this foundation and the finish is in my eyes simply amazing. It´s quite pricy so I´m still waiting for "that" moment to buy it.
NYX Powder Blush in Taupe, this is THE powder all contouring fans have been waiting for. The colour is simply perfect for a good contour, because it doesn´t has a orange undertone that will make you look like a fool if you have pale skin like me, you can get it for an reasonable price and you can build it up aswell if you don´t want to go for a heavy contour on some days!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, this concealer is probably one of those concealer that 98% of the blogger world loves and raves about. It has high coverage and can be used as a highlighter aswell. Again this is a very pricy product and not availabe in Germany so I hope I get a opportunity to get my hands on this little dream soon.
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, a long time ago I had a sample of this perfume, and the second I applied this I was head over heels with it. For me it kinda smells "rich" like you can smell that this perfume was very expensive. I´m one of those people who just loves to have a signature smell and THIS is exactly what I want to smell like for the rest of my life. Though it´s probably not everyone´s first choice, because the smell is very strong but in my opinion this is a complete dream poured into a little luxurious bottle.
Zoeva 227 Soft Definer Brush, I can never have enough eyemakeup brushes, for a very simple reason: once you dip a brush into one colour you can only use it for this or similar shades! and since this brush is also said to be a dupe for the infamous MAC 217 brush, I decided that I just need it!
Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour Brush, since RT have brought out their long awaited bold metal collection, this is the brush that I have heard the most positive things about. I personally have never seen a brush like this before and together with the NYX taupe blush, I can imagine with the right technique it can definitely help you to get that flawless contour.
Apple iPhone 6+, I know that this phone is like really huge and I can already forget to just put it in my jeans pockets or to use it with one hand, but this phone has something on it that I just love so much. I´m even at this point where I wouldn´t even care what it looks like to call someone in public and it being looked like I use a mini ipad for that. If I decided in the end to really get this phone then it would definitely have to be the golden version of it for me :)
Puuh, this was a hella long post! I congrat you if you read it completely, haha :)
What is on your wishlist this year? Is there something from my list that you own and can give a little review about? :)
