Daily Eye Makeup


The image quality isn't really good and I figured out the problem by now. My Nikon D90 is just really bad at taking close ups. I will use the Nikon P500 for the next tutorials. The products I used were taken with the P500 and you can clearly see the difference.

Anyway, here is a small and simple tutorial on my everyday eye makeup.
1. On the inner corner of my eye, I used Color Tattoo 24HR gel-cream eyeshadow by Maybelline, which has the color 65 - Pink Gold
2. The outer corner with the same Color Tattoo 24HR gel-cream eyeshadow by Maybelline but another color called 35 - On and On BronzeI swear, the gel cream eyeshadows are the best and stay for the whole day.
3. On top of that, I applied an olive colored eyeshadow to darken the color a bit. For that, I used an eyeshadow palette from H&M.

4. opened eye
5. I used a dark brown eyebrow pencil from Etude House for the lower line. As you can see, the lower line connects with the eyeshadow.
6. After curling the lashes (which is totally a must in my case), I used the Better than False Lashed volume mascara by Catrice.

7. From a slightly different angle
Voila!

Here are the products I used for this look:
  • H&M eyeshadow palette, the olive color
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows, Pink Gold and On and on Bronze
  • Etude House Cat Liner and Catrice Volume Mascara

Frankfurter weekend


Extended weekend..? - Let's go to Frankfurt

I just came back from Frankfurt. So glad that I went there. I made the decision out of boredom after I found out I have an extended weekend. So instead of usually doing nothing but lying in bed and watching movies all day I shaped the few days with shopping, meeting people, partying and sightseeing. Back home, I'm even more motivated and full of freshly charged energy. 

1st day: Arrival in Karlsruhe and going to friend's place in Landau
2nd day: Getting my nails done at her mother's place (one of the nicest people) and shopping in Landau
3rd day: To Frankfurt, shopping, visiting a Korean friend, clubbing
4th day: To Landau, having dinner with friend's family
5th day: Return to Switzerland
