Real friendship?!

Heelllooo,
I know, I know I have done a blog post about friendships before but today I need to write about something that really bucks me at the moment. 
You know that when you're a friendgroup of 3 and then you don't see each other for a while because of holidays and once you're back, thinking everythings normal, nothing is normal. This just happend to me. 
As you might know I moved again to move in a new flat with a friend of mine who is in this friendgroup but since we are back everythings kinda strange. Both of my friends are really close and do stuff all the time, but I'm kinda left out. Even when we see each other they kinda ignore me.
As I described before it's normal for friendships to grow apart but still it's a strange feeling to come back to your normal life, thinking everything is okay and then you have to realize nothing is in fact okay and normal. 
Of course I do have other friends I can do things with and all kind of things but it still hurts a bit. Also knowing that a confrontation wouldn't do anything good, so you sit there having no control over things that are happening and knowing that you're basically powerless to change anything. 
I mean I'm totally fine with the fact that people grow apart and all the things that have to do with it, but not if you can't do anything about it and you have to see how you drift apart from people you still like because they give you actually a bit of a shitty time. 
Personally I don't even have any advise or tips you could do against that because as you know now I'm stuck in that as well and I hate the situation but don't know what to do. So instead of me giving advise this time feel free to leave a comment if you think you have some tips what someone in this situation could do. 
Sorry that this isn't a normal blog post and I'm kinda down because of that, but I felt it's liberating to write you guys about it. :)
I hope whatever you are doing you are doing fine and you like what you're doing at the moment. :)

Lots of love,

Current make-up favourites

Heelllooo,
I know it has been a long time since I was active on this blog, firstly sorry about that. But my last couple of months have been quite crazy and hectic. Long story short: I moved back from England to Germany, before that I was on a road trip with my best friend in Ireland, spent a short time at home and then I moved to a different part of Germany to start University. Also at the end of this month I'm moving again into a new flat. Since then my life was quite stressful but also very exciting. Right now I probably should study for my exam on friday, but I felt I had to do this first! Ah, and I also (finally) started a YouTube channel (where I have to film, edit and upload a video as well! Oh gosh, I'm the worst, aren't I?). 

Anyways, now I'm back and today I wanted to share my current (to be fair, it has been that for like a year or so) make-up favourites. 
First things first: Skin

 

These products have been my go to products. To be fair I've never been the biggest fondation girl on a everday basis but when I use some I always go for my Rimmel 'Wake me up' one. On a more everyday basis I use the Manhatten 'bb cream beauty balm 9 in 1 longlasting', this one is a good cover up for school, uni or work and I like it a lot because its light on your skin but still with a good amount of coverage (tip with this one: I find this one better to apply with a brush or spong. I personally don't think its a good product to apply with your hands). For a under the eyes concealer I love the Rimmel 'wake me up' one, the same as the fondation its amazing. It gives you a nice glow under your eyes which makes you look more awake and definitely covers up your dark circles. For powder I used th Rimmel 'Stay matte pressed powder' for years now, and I would recommend this to everybody! For a blusher I always tend to go for my trusty Manhatten 'powder rouge in 'fresh peach 53N''. I had this one for years and I perosnally like that it makes your cheeks a bit glowy but also look very natural. And finally the Bourjois 'bronzing powder in 52', I love this stuff and it smeels like chocolate, who wouldn't like that? :)


For my eyes I love 4 products in particular. Firstly my trustworthy 'color tattoo 24h' by Maybelline in '35-On and on Bronze', if I could I would wear this everyday. This colour makes green or blue eyes pop unbelievable. The same as my beloved Rimmel eyeshadow in '30-Smokey Quartz', once again I had this for years and still always reach out for it. Two of my favourtie paletts are the Sleek palette in 'Au Naturel 601' and the Revolution one in 'Redemption Palette Iconic 3'. These have amzing colours in it, and especially for people with green or blue eyes the colours in it are very suitable and flattering. 


As a eyeliner I like to use the Rimmel 'Scandaleyes' in black and going along with it the waterproof kohl kajal in black. If I feel more adventurous I like to use my Maybelline 'Lash Sensational' in extra black and a blue Kohl pencil from Yves Rocher on my waterline and also along my lower lashline.


On my lips I like to vary the colour. One day I go for the classic Rimmel 107, another day I like to keep it more a classic look with the Rimmel 160 and if I feel a more nude lipstick I tend to go for the Rimmel 03. If I decide to wear a lipgloss I most likely grab my Tanya Burr one in 'Picnic in the park'. But to be honest with you on a day-to-day basis I mostly wear either a lipbalm such as the Labello 'Lip Butter' in Vanilla & Macadamia or the Maybellin 'Baby Lips' in 'Cherry me' to have a bit of colour but don't have the stuggle to make sure my lipstick is perfect during my lectures. 


I thought I also have to include my favourite brushes at this point and without a shadow of a doubt this have to be my beloved realTechniques ones. I love them and if I had the money, I would go out and buy every single one multiple times. Thats how much I like them. They're perfect to apply any make-up and also especially with eyeshadow they plend them in very nicely. 

These are my current favourite make-up things and if you likes this slightly different blog post, let me know and I'll do more in the near future. :)
Also once again sorry for the lack of presents in the last couple of months but I promise to you, I'm back now! :)


Lots of love,
