My makeup room

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I clean up my makeup department pretty often. Every month, as my friend kindly reminded me. I don’t necessarily make huge changes, but I might switch up a few products and might get rid of something, that I’m not using anymore (or is getting old).

I like organizing. Keeping my favorite place clean makes sense, right? Also – those rushed mornings and new products that I tend to stack up on my table really do look messy after a day or two (okay, several days).

Yesterday I did some organizing again. I had to throw some old lipsticks away and I chose new products on display. I’ve started to store a part of my makeup in another dresser, so I also went through those boxes (what you see on the bed).

I have a special post about my vanity and makeup organization tips, where I show you exactly how I store my makeup. Not much have changed from that post, but nowadays I like to have less stuff on my table, so that my beautiful brushes and products get to shine.

Everyone always asks about the rotating makeup organizer, so that is from amazon*. And as said, everything else is linked on my other post!

This rose gold blush brush is my favorite – and it’s actually unbranded. I ordered it from amazon* as well.

And yes – I’m a short-haired lady nowadays. These are the first photos in my new hair here. What do you think? You will see some old photos still though, so don’t be alarmed if in the next post my hair is long again.

I wish you a happy weekend! We didn’t celebrate Valentine’s day yesterday, so today we will probably have a little date. My weekend plans also include a date with friends, a birthday party for a special 2-year-old girl and some kickboxing. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me.

3 x makeup with Sleek A New Day Palette

In my lookfantastic calendar (which was awesome, by the way!) I got *Sleek’s A New Day palette. I already have two other Sleek eyeshadow palettes so I knew what to expect from their makeup. Basically Sleek’s palettes are very inexpensive and good. The price-ratio quality is on point. The palettes come with a mirror, but otherwise are pretty plain.

Sleek A New Day Palette

This palette is a nice every day palette with warm and cool neutral tones. It has a few interesting shades like a light shimmer color with a hint of lime green (the first color), a beautiful cool-toned rose gold color (the second color) and your basic gold shimmer (third on the bottom row).

I challenged myself to use the palette three days in a row and create different makeup looks with it. These looks ended up being quite my everyday looks. It’s no wonder, since the palette is perfect for simple looks.

Makeup 1: Soft & Shimmery

The first look: as simple as it gets! I contoured my eye according to my own tips about deep set/hooded eyes and brought lots of light to my lid with light shimmer colors. I also used the cool lime shimmer color, not sure if you can see it? It’s a very subtle green hue.

I used to never do eyeliner, but ever since I got the mellow cosmetics Precision Pen Eyeliner, I’ve been doing it more. I guess I just needed to find the perfect eyeliner first.

My skin base was done with Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation*, which I’ve been using non stop ever since I got in November. Mascara is *essence Lash Princess Mascara.

Makeup 2: Cool tones

My own sister didn’t recognize me at first with this look. I tried something new with my hair and I like it! A sleek low bun is a nice change to my usual curly crazy hair.

The eye look is basically this look, which I have a tutorial for. It’s all about definition and cool tones, though nowadays I prefer warmer colors.

On my lips I have *NYX Butter gloss in Crème Brulee. It smells delicious. The base is done with Lily Lolo foundation* and mascara is *essence Lash Princess Mascara.

Makeup 3: Warm copper

Warm copper really brings out the blue in my eyes! I love a messy look like this. The gold color is actually darker in real life and looked more like a smokey eye.

On my lips I have jane iredale Lip Fixation, Content. Base is Lily Lolo’s foundation and mascara is essence’s Princess Lash.
