My makeup for a day off

For my days off, I choose completely different kind of makeup and products. I like to go for very fresh, glowy and almost no makeup look.

1. girl meets pearl from benefit (to give nice glowy base)

2. Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizer (I was applying it with my fingers, but sponge gives a little better finish)

3. NYX Cream Blush in 01 Rose petal (looks very fresh and can be used for lips-even though it made my lips a little too nude for my taste-applied with fingers and blended with stippling brush)

4. all nighter from Urban Decay (sets everything)

5. bare minerals mineral veil powder (applied only in the t-zone to set everything)

6. real techniques contour brush (because I wanted my powder only in certain areas, this brush was perfect for precision)

1. eye drops to have brighter and less red eyes

2. Smashbox brow tech (Blonde)

3. Realtechniques eyebrow brush 

4. Shu Uemura eyelash curler

5. no7Exceptional Definition from (I love this for a day off as it is in brown/black colour-not that harsh-and it contains nourishing vitamins and proteins which is a plus to help my lashes)

6. Clinique chubby stick in 07 Super strawberry (I love this for work even for a day off-beautiful colour)

Review: Chubby sticks for eyes

Product a lot of people were waiting for as chubby sticks for lips are absolutely loved. I had a chance to play around with chubby sticks for eyes, so I will tell you a little piece of my mind.

I got only one chubby stick in colour pink and plenty (07), but I have tried darker colours as well as lighter shades.

Chubby sticks for eyes are amazing if you are on the go, just want to place a little bit of eyeshadow with minimal effort. It is smooth and easy to apply. If you are going with darker colours, I would make sure that you try to blend it as soon as possible as they set pretty quickly. 

Trying to do a little bit of 2 shades- one all over colour and one in the crease was first a little challenge, but if you make sure that you have quite clean (even applied POWDER first) canvas, so blending is so much easier. If you forget to put them first, it is easy if you just blend it afterwards. 

The chubby sticks are beautifully opaque and if they set, they stay for whole day.

As they stay, I would suggest to have a good eye make-up remover by hand as they don't feel the easiest to come off.

Overall rating: Great for everyday, even when transforming to the night. The easiest smokey eyes. 

Great for: Everyone who wants to look great with little time and little makeup skills.
