ARTDECO
I am already more than 3 weeks back from vacation and I totally forgot to tell you what makeUp I took with me to Castellammare del Golfo in Sicily. So now I finally found time and here we go:
I took 5 different eyeshadows and a blusher by ARTDECO and I put them in a MAC palette. all the ARTDECO powder products like blusher and eyeshadows have a tiny magnet on the back so they are made to be stored in a palette. perfect for vacation as you can put together your individual palette. in general in summer or in summer vacation I am not applying MakeUp every day but in the evening after a long day on the beach it is nice to pamper oneself and wear a nice dress and go for dinner. well thats what I did. I was only wearing the makeUp in the evening as it was way too hot to wear makeUp during the day..
16 EYESHADOW
a sparkly pale brown
506 EYESHADOW
a matte stale blue
517 EYESHADOW
a warm matte dark mauve
520 EYESHADOW
a pale light matte brown
551 EYESHADOW
a matte light powdery beige
16 BLUSHER
a nice warm almost pan of terracota
so as you can see out of the 5 eyeshadows 4 of them are matte and only one has shimmer.I either wore a simple look or a more smokey look.
SIMPLE LOOK
I start with 551 all over the lid and highlight the parts below the brows. 16 in the crease.
SMOKEY LOOK
551 all over the lid and highlight the parts below the brow and the inner corner of the eyes. then I take 506 and cutting the crease. and using 517 and 520 to blend it towards the eyelid.
awesome pigmentation and no fall out thats exactly what I want from eyeshadows – I will for sure get more of these in order to have more shimmery shadows too. will keep you posted.
where can you get these ARTDECO products? I found mine at parfumcity.ch they have awesome deals and since it is a swiss online shop you dont have to pay any extra charges from the customs. ARTDECO is a german brand and is based in Karlsfeld Germany.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS
thank you Jessy for being my model for this blogpost – you did an amazing job! I got the CLINIQUE all about shadow quad at the bloggers event a couple weeks a go and I was eager to try it out. I got number 09 in the shade smoke and mirrors. four beautiful colors – a light silver – a light grey – a sparkling black with silver particles and a black. I used all of the four colors on Jessys eyes.
I started with the lightest color and I applied it allover the lid. then I applied the second color the light grey in the crease and smooshed it out towards the middle of the eye. then I went in with the sparkling black and colored the outer v the last step I did was I took the fourth color the black one and I used it as an eyeliner allaround the eye. thats it – four simple steps for a dramatic smokey eye look!

MAC eye shadow palette
one of my very very favourite eyeshadows are the ones from M.A.C.
As my eyes are a mix between green and brown I use orange and red tones to bring out the green. For everyday and bright lip looks I use the lighter shimmery silver and gold shades.
At the moment I wear COPPERING a lot – its a rusty bronzy red (second row right) together with the light shimmery green (top row left) for a more dramatic eye or just simple with black eyeliner – for both looks I would wear my favourite nude lipstick MODESTY.
The missing color is BRULE – a matt beige tone. I will have to repurchase it asap.
