Nyx Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone

We all want our eyeshadows to look true to their pan colour and stay for the whole night without creasing. Eyeshadow bases make that possible.
These also help to conceal your eyelids and make them look more even.
This post is dedicated to Nyx Eyeshadow base in the shade Skin Tone. It also comes in Pearl and White.


To show you how it works I used a MUA eyeshadow  in shade 19(which I use for my brows) without a base(left) and with Nyx Eyeshadow base(right)
I don't know how else can I convince you that this really works.

November Favourites

This November, I've discovered quite a lot of great products that I would love to share with you. Every single day I try to use different products and change my make up a bit, however this pile of products outshined others.
Let's start with a skin care product, which is Botanics eye cream. This month was the first time I started using an eye cream. I decided to get a cream just for moisturising the eye area and not one with an 'anti-wrinkle' effect, as I think it's just too early for me. I have to say that I enjoyed the effects, not that I became a beauty in 4 weeks time but you can really see a difference in the way the eye area looks and feels. I also love the fact that it is organic, has different oils in it which help moisturise better. Retails for about £6 in Boots.

Next, are these two lip balms that saved my lips from this horrible weather. I've always loved Nivea's products and this new lip balm is just perfect: moisturising, a rosy tint and a good smell. The Carmex lip balm is one you have to get used to. It has a tingly effect when you apply it on your lips because of the mint, I guess. But it just works wonders, so I really recommend it. I'm almost out of it.


Not an exciting product this one,just a clear brow gel that helps my rebel brows stay in place.


 Two lipsticks of the same brand, but with different textures and colours. Blackberry is a creme finish lipstick which is perfect for winter, being a dark red-brown colour almost burgundy. Purrfect!
Strawberry Suede is not so wintery, however I love my brights even in winter because all of the lights and festive things. I can not describe the colour exactly, but I'd love to think it is a coral red.


A thick good-smelling hand cream is a must-have for this season!

Have been looking for a colour like this for the longest time and it was secretly hidden in Topshop and I'm so glad I found it, finally. Topshop eyeliner in Saddle is a light brown with a metallic effect to it. The colour represented on the packaging is exactly what it looks like applied.
