Blue-Orange Fantasy Makeup
I used MAC pigments and the Coastal Scent 88 matte palette to create this look. The glitters I got at a local Ben Franklin craft store and the Lashes are Red Cherry D 005 and some random bottom lashes.
Alverde Haul
Alverde's new makeup line is available in DM stores in Hungary/Austria/Germany. I bought my first items in aDM store in Hungary. I think in Austria/Germany you can also get them at Muller and Rossman stores. They're worth checking out, because there are some really good products among them and they it is all BIO!
You can find the ingredients list of Alverde's makeup line. It's in PDF format, and you can download it here from Drogerie-Markt's official website.
I got:
Quatro Eyeshadow in 37 Chocolate
Pressed Powder in 040 Apricot Beige
Anti-Aging Liquid Foundation in 020 Honey-Gold
Lipstick: 20 Apricot Red
Lipgloss: 14 Cool red and 205 Cappucino
Extra Vlume Mascara in 010 Black
Alverde Tinted moisturizer with almond in Goldbeige for all skin types

Lipgloss/lipstick:
I really like their lip glosses. Their consistency is great and its not too sticky. I added some swatches of the lip glosses and the Apricot Red lipstick.
Pressed Powder:
The color I got is 040 Apricot Beige and it matches my skin color really nice. it seems that there are tiny little glitters in the powder, so it gives the appearance of a nice golden glow.
Liquid foundation:
Well, I personally don't like heavy foundations, so this one is perfect for me. It's kindda like a tinted moisturizer with a menthol smell. It even feels cool like menthol on the skin.
Tinted moisturizer:
I got the one with almond oil and the color is golden beige. It has a very nice smell as well (not to intense). I have pretty dry skin, and it seems to help with the dryness, so it will be perfect for the winter.
Mascara:
The one I got is for creating extra volume and has a kindda funny looking thick applicator. To be honest, I think this applicator is a bit clumsy and thick to reach the lashes in the inner corner. The consistency and smell otherwise is good.
Eyeshadow:
They have two quads...one is black, silver and the other one is brown colors. I got the brown one and I absolutely love it. There are three matte (light beige, a middle brown and a dark brown) and one shimmery color (dark brown with a satin finish).
All in all I like their products. Its good quality for a reasonable price. I hope this was helpful:)
