Catrice Velvet Finish Foundation, Concealer + Powder | Review

A while back, Catrice came out with a whole new base makeup family called Velvet Finish. I will review, swatch and compare these products today. I am a big fan of Catrice foundations in general, but this time I have concerns. Let's see why.

Essence 'Wake up, Spring!' Trend Edition | Preview

Goodbye winter, hello spring! Feel the first rays of the warm sun on your face and enjoy spending time outdoors again. From now on, scarves and hats can remain hidden in the closet as essence welcomes the spring season with the new trend edition “wake up, spring!” from March until April 2016. The pastel colour scheme includes apricot, pink, lilac and mint, and the product design convinces with spring-like floral elements. The ultimate spring pieces include a blush with an integrated mirror, a small blush brush with “wake up” lettering on the handle and the tie & dye nail polish sets with a base and two soft jelly shades each for gorgeous colour gradients on the nails. Finally spring… with essence!

Collective Make-up Haul | Catrice & Essence

Hi everyone, I hope that the new year has been kind to you so far. I still have quite a lot of haul posts sitting on my laptop, so I plan to empty my "unwritten hauls" stash in January and February. Let's see what today's haul has to offer.

Catrice Rough Luxury Trend Edition | Preview

Ice and Fire. Abstract formations of icy landscapes meet upon soft and warm femininity. In view of the dropping temperatures and inspired by the breath taking nature of the arctic wilderness, the designer collections include coarse knits, delicate décor and trendy fake fur pieces. Interpreted in a modern way as oversized pullovers and combined with skirts, skinny jeans or culottes, the fashion items are sure to put you in the mood for the frosty time of year. The interplay of contrasting silhouettes, colours and structures creates a look that is translated into the language of beauty with the Limited Edition “Rough Luxury” by CATRICE. From December 2015 to mid January 2016, cool grey tones for a smokey eye make-up style are combined with soft lips in nude or gently contoured eyes in powder shades with lips in bold oxblood. Highlights include the Soft Baked Eye Shadows with three baked eye shadows each, the Gradation Blush as well as the Frosted Matt Top Coat for a satin-matt nail polish finish.
