New Alverde Eyeshadow swatches

Hello everyone,

today we had Hansefest in Neuss so for a change the stores were open on a Sunday. And so was DM, I went in and found.... the new alverde products. (YAYAYAY). I´m too sick to do an make up with them, or let´s say I look horribly sick, so an actual make up will follow in the coming days...

heute war Hansefest in Neuss und Verkaufsoffener Sonntag. Der DM war auch offen und was erblicken meine Äuglein? die neuen Alverde Produkte (JUHU!). Ich bin aktuell zu krank um mich zu schminken, oder sagen wir lieber ich sehe zu entsetzlich aus um davon ein Foto zu machen, also werde ich erst in den kommenden Tagen ein Probemake up posten...

Golden Turqouis Quattro, Magic Blue, Dark Aubergine

With light (no base used)

Mit Licht (ohne Base)

Without Light (still no base)

Ohne Licht (und immernoch ohne Base)

Looks pretty good! Aubergine is matte, Blue is a little shiny, though not as much as I thought it would be, light cream colour will be a good alrounder, turqouise has indeed a golden shimmer and will be great with 50s/60s inspired make up, brown is beautiful and bronze-y so good for every day and black is rather matte and will go well with the blue.

Sieht ziemlich gut aus. Aubergine ist matt, Blue shimmert ein bisschen aber nicht so sehr wie ich dachte, die helle Creme Farbe ist gut für so ziemlich alles, das türkis hat einen goldenen Schimmer und wird toll für ein 50er/60er inspiriertes Make up sein, das braun ist ein toller Bronzeton für jeden Tag und das Schwarz ist ziemlich matt und sollte super mit dem blauen funktionieren.

party glam and city tec

Hi everyone,

It´s cold and we even had a bit snow!!!

Here are some photos that I took with my mobile on my way to work! When I woke up this morning there was even more, BUT it melted before I even got outside....

Today I was experimenting with some new make up again.

Mahattan Party Glam Eyeshadow in wildberry and the P2 Mascara City Tec.

My review: The deal with the mascara is that it rotates automatically which is a great idea,but it also has the risk of making your lashes clumpy and stick together. You can see that a bit on my pictures. The only way to prevent it is to stop between the layers and let it dry. Time intensive, but the results are better.

I really like Manhattan Eyeshadow because it goes on very smooth and I really like the colour. it is sort of violetish browns. Very shimmery and glamorous. I think it makes a great eyeshadow for X-Mas, New Year or any other fancy occassion. It looks prettier in real life than on my photos.

Blog give away

Hi everyone!

As you know I mentioned a planned give away earlier in my blog for the time when I hit 100 suscribed readers. Waiting is boring, so let´s start it now - and maybe I find the 100 suscribers on the way ;-)

So I have been thinking and this is what I come up with. It is only a small give away, but nethertheless: It should be fun.
Included is:

2 Lovely baked Alverde Eye-shadows

1 MNY Hightlighter

1 P2 Lipstick (Oxford street - my recent fave!)

1 Viva la Diva Concealer pen (it totally rules and is only available in Sweden)

1 nice and Burlesque-y headpiece

1 signed edition of Jolie with my editorial in it (if I ever get hyper-famous it might be worth a fortune ;-)

How can you join the give away?

Step 1: Blog, twitter or facebook “I read the #pinupdiaries” plus a link to my blog.

Step 2: Than post in my comments that you have done so. If you do multiple posts (for example you have twitter and a blog), do separate comment-entries with a link to each.

After we hit 100 readers I post a deadline on how much longer you can join the give away (I think about 2 additional days after we hit that mark, so if you’re running late you can still join it – unless it takes 100 days to find the 100 readers, off course :-D) and than I’ll throw your names into my magic hat and announce a winner.

Yet another make up post
