To kick off my great catching-up-course, here's a post I've been wanting to finish for ages; a review + face of the day using the Vera Valenti eyeshadow palette from the August Glossy Box (summer .. *sigh*). Enjoy!!
A few weeks ago, in my W7 "Shades of Brown" Quad review, I promised you that I'd tell you a bit more about the "Shades of Purple" Quad as well, so here I am! Read on if you'd like to see how I feel about this palette and if you'd like to know how I created this simple, bright smokey eye!
Today we're looking into some very affordable, pretty nice quality makeup brushes, which are unfortunately only available in the Netherlands, at HEMA to be precise. This is a Dutch store that sells pretty much everything you can think of, from clothes to alarmclocks to bicycles to kitchen supplies to pies to toys to, of course, makeup. It's been that way as long as I can remember, but
So, a while ago I ordered a Make-Up Studio palette filled with different blush colors. A couple of days later I heard an ominous thump coming from my front door, after which my mom called me to say that one of the blushes hadn't survived the blow. I almost cried when I found out that it was the hot pink one, but then I remembered the magic trick I'm about to show you. This method is very quick and simple (and even quite fun to do) and it doesn't affect the quality of your compact whatsoever. After this, you're gonna want to break all your compacts just so you can fix them again :)
