Makeup: Experimenting with focus

Hi guys, today I was inspired by yesterday evening where I removed all my eye and cheek makeup and just wore a bright different lip, I thought I'd try it out for school today :D

Not certain of how visible it is due to bad lighting and bad camera. (Working on getting a new one) I went for a red and gold lip, so took a red lipstick on the corners of my lips, and placed a goldish (or you could use a nude) lipstick in the middle and afterwards dusted the gold center with gold eyeshadow. I'm not wearing any eyeshadows but I'm kiiind of wearing a bit more mascara than I wanted to, so tomorrow I'll try this look again in another colour and a more sheer blush so focus only will be on the lips.

- Happy new year from Elk!

Review: Mentholatum Softlips

Softlips lipbalm from Mentholatum, in this case I got the French Vanilla version.

This lip-balm is enriched with vitamin E and has SPF 20 which always is good. It smells minty-fresh but with a bit of vanilla in it. Whether this is nice or not is of course a personal choice, it's a bit weird scent-mixture but OK for me, and when you're wearing it you can't smell it anyway.

It feels smooth on the lips and gives you a fresh minty feeling. Also, this product is slimmer than other stick lip-balms which gives it a cuter and more unique design but this can also be a bit annoying since you have to spend more time applying it all over your lips. The bigger your lips, the more time you have to spend.

Also I feel a need to re-apply this product more often than other lip-balms and when I've been wearing it for a longer period of time, the skin on my lips starts to chap beneath the balm.

It gives your lips a natural look, it's not noticeable at all, your lips just look moist but not glossy.

All in all I'm not too keen on it, I really don't like the fact that it makes my brittle lips chap even more :(

As you can see this lip-balm is longer and slimmer than other balms, but this also means that you have to spend more time on applying it.

Ho ho ho fellas!

Here's what I got for Christmas this year!

My dear mom and dad gave me these Converse All Stars. I love these shoes, I pretty much always wear Converse, I've gone through a couple of pairs but I break them :( so luckily they gave me these. I really like the chocolatebrown colour.

Diamond Brilliance lipgloss from Wet 'n Wild in the colour Rocking Rubies. This gloss is unbelievably pigmented, it's insane! It's not as light as on the picture, it's only due to poor lighting ;) but look. So rich and pigmented product!

This lipgloss is so unique. It's clear with a holographic, blue, purple, green shine - looks really good on!

Just a detail, these are all the tops of the Wet 'n Wild diamond-line products. Isn't that just to die for?

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas!
