Beauty Soufflé

As we are already half way through spring season, I thought it was about time to do a makeup which involved some colour in it, just to spice things up! My MERMAID MAKEUP LOOK  was definetely my most colourful look ever, but of course a little dramatic to wear on a day to day basis.  The look I'm posting today involves colour in a more subtle and wearable way, which feels more comfortable to wear, even during the day if you fancy. I really hope you guys like it, let me know in the comments :)  Kisses, Antonia.

  Hello beautiful people! It's been a while since my last post..and I'm sorry for being absent for that long.  Here I am again!  Today I'm coming with a short post that hopefully will give you some inspiration if you are looking for some perfect spring colours which are funny enough for this season but not too daring. These 5 lip products are my go-to products nowadays because they are playful (especially the glossy formulas) and they have just the right amount of colour needed for this warmer season in order for me to feel comfortable. I don't usually choose very bright colours because I don't think they suit me, but these ones are what I feel appropriate for me and my makeup style. I usually wear them with a very natural and dewy complexion, with just mascara and highlighter to illuminate the skin, but of course they can easily be worn with more intense makeup looks.       The YSL gloss is very hydrating, pigmented and long lasting...

Hello my lovelies!  Today I decided to come to your rescue and bring you away from this gloomy and grey weather to more colored and playful meanders.  Although I usually tend to opt for neutral and simple colours, today I felt I was in desperate need of colour and since I think that unicorns are waaay too hyped by now, why not give some credit to the magical and etheral inhabitants of the sea? Mermaids! I played with colours and this is the look I end up with. I  focused on blending really well the colours in order to not have harsh lines and I must say I really enjoy how the look turned out.  Sometimes I feel the need to step out of my comfort zone and dare with colours I would usually discard.  P.S.: The fish tail doesn't show in the picture but I have it on, I swear :D PRODUCTS I'VE USED: Foundation - Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation in 1C1 cool bone Eyebrows - Essence superlast 24h waterproof pencil in nr.10 + Essence...

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today I decided to review two products I've been testing for the last month or so and which have been hyped so much on the blogosphere. I'm talking about the CATRICE Hd Liquid Coverage foundation and the Liquid Camouflage high coverage concelear . Everyone was talking about the foundation in particular but when I saw that they had a concelear as well, I decided to try them both. First of all they are drugstore products, therefore they are really affordable. I bought both products in store and paid 8€ for the foundation and 3,50 or 4€ for the concelear. I tried to capture how the products looked on my skin and hopefully you can see how they show in pictures. Everyone on the internet was raving about this foundation, claiming that it had a very natural finish and a good durability. Let's see my thoughts on it.  THE FOUNDATION: 020 ROSE BEIGE Comes in a glass bottle with a pipette (which I find really simple to use and per...

Hello lovelies! Today, as I announced in the previous post, I come with the first look created featuring the MAKEUP REVOLUTION "Fortune favours the brave" palette.   As said in the review I did, this palette offers a lot of possibilities in terms of variety of makeup looks you can create, going from very natural to more dramatic ones. Today I created something very simple, perfect to wear during the day. I often tend to go for a subtle brown smoky eye because it's easy to do, I don't feel like "it's too much" for the day and it complements my eye colour.  I think that makeup doesn't always have to be dramatic and harsh to be beautiful. A subtle look which enhances my features is what I normally tend to prefer on a day to day basis. I hope you like this look, even if simpler than usual.

Hello hello beautiful people! Long time no seeing! It's been more than a month since I last posted here on the blog and I missed it so much. Unfortunately..as writers do, bloggers sometimes lack inspiration as well. I didn't feel ispired and creative, everything I was trying to write about seemed trivial and unauthentic and I just didn't want to fill my blog with posts that weren't 100% conceived to be useful for you.  I want this blog to be a place where people can read about topics I am really passionate about, and of which I give my most sincere and trustworthy opinion. Today I'm coming with a review on a product I've been testing out the past few weeks: The MAKEUP REVOLUTION " FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE " eyeshadow palette.  This is the first product I've ever used from this brand. I kept seeing this palette all over Instagram and I was very drawn to its colours and finally decided to buy it. This is a palette that is available ...

  Today I wanted to write a post a little bit different and longer than usual. A post which is inspired by a video created by NikkieTutorials on Youtube and which has gone viral, reaching over 37 Mln views. In the  video Nikkie talks about how, lately, there's been a sort of makeup ashame, a misconception that make people think that girls put makeup on just because they want to hide their imperfections or because they feel insicure. After seeing that video, I felt so inspired by the whole concept she deals about and I decided to do an in-depth post about it.  What does makeup mean to me? How it makes me feel? How important it is in my day to day life? What impact does it have on me? Why people nowadays put such a shame on it? These are questions I realised I've never really asked myself. When I talk about makeup I usually tend to focus on the practical side of it: which products are better, what kind of makeup can I create for a certain occasion, wh...

Hello gorgies! I don't know about you but I am crazy about the holidays! And since I am in a very Christmas mood since..hmmm..september (?!), I decided to create a makeup look that feels like holidays and which is perfect for the coming party season.  Of course it's a little bit more glammed up, with a touch of glitter on the eyes and a red lip, which can never miss on Christmas time.  What is your Christmas holiday kind of makeup? Mine always has a red lip, it's definetely a must have for me whenever I want to feel sophisticated and chic.  I really hope you enjoy this look and the many more to come!

Hello gorgies! How are you? I know, it's been a while and I am so sorry for the absence but it seems I can't organize my schedule properly..my bad :( But today I'm finally back with another makeup look in which I decided to dare a little bit with colours. The main focus is obviously on the eyes with this gorgeous red/berry colour (I actually used a lip pencil to achieve it!) which I think complements really well my green eyes, and then I kept the lips pretty simple but with a touch of "juicyness" by adding a lip gloss to make them look bigger. I hope you guys love it as much as I do! P RODUCTS USED: Base - L'Orèal Lumi Magique primer on the face and Urban Decay Primer Potion on the eyelids Foundation - L'Orèal Infaillible in 140 Golden Beige Powder - Sisley phyto-powder transparent matte Contour - D&G the blush in 22 TAN Blush - Chanel powder blush in 79 Rouge Brows - ABH Dipbrow pomade in Taupe Mascara...

Hello my lovelies!! It seems forever since I last wrote on the blog but now that Halloween is behind us and so is my Halloween series (let me know if you liked it!), I'm looking forward to creating new content for you guys.  Today I didn't have in mind a specific look, I just did what I felt like and used various products. I ended up with this kind of bronzy eye makeup and soft ombrè brown lips.  I really like how this turned out even though it seems I can't never figure out how to properly show the colours in the pictures. In reality they show much more vibrant..I was thinking about purchasing a ring light in order to achieve better quality photos, especially now that the weather is cloudy and dark. Have you guys tried it? Would you recommend investing in one? Let me know in the comments please, I'd be really glad if you could help me with some opinions. As always, you will find the products I've used at the end of this post. Hope you like it! ...
