The Turtleneck





autumn is here and it brought one trend back i waited for all summer - the turtleneck!
with hairs plugged in and neutral colors this look is just right up my street. heavy knits or smooth cashmere, i don't care as long as it is cozy and keeps me warm!

Pink Lips




as you can see i was inspired by garance doré, i love her illustrations and my drawing style is greatly influenced by her, as you can tell by this picture. i did this one in photoshop with a graphic tablet. i love to paint this way, though i still have my little problems with it. but no one is born as a master and i'm still learning. 

i love pink lipsticks, they look so fresh and glamorous without looking too fierce. they are the perfect option to red and make you look younger and happier. 
i own more pink lipsticks as i want to admit, in every shade and with different undertones. but i have two favorites. here they are for you.



the yves saint laurent rouge volupté shine nr. 12 is my favorite lipsticks of all. i love everything about it! the light texture, the color and of corse this luxurious looking golden tube. it was the first one i tried and what can i say, love at first sight. it's perfect for every day with it's sheer color, but when layered also the perfect choice for an evening make-up. 
the only thing i have to criticize is, this lipstick smears and runs pretty fast when you don't wear a primer under it. but that is the only disadvantage...ok maybe the price is another one as well^^ i paid 32 euro for it, but it's worth every cent! 



the other one is a more affordable one from astor. it's a lipcolor butter and very shiny and light, but has a full coverage. it feels like a very light lip balm, but the color is so vibrant, like it says, ultra vibrant. thats definitely true! the price lies around 7 euro and is more than ok. 
but this lipstick really needs a lot of dedication. once applied it will stay true to you the whole day. it's like the pigments sink into your lips, even when wiped away with make-up remover your lips are still very pinkish.

Illustrations




today i first tried my graphic tablet which i bought last summer and never really worked with. now during photoshop course i gave it a second chance, and badaboom - i looove it!

this illustrations each took me about half an hour to 45 minutes and are quite good for my "first" try. i have to say, i've learned a lot in 12 days of photoshop course. sure, it's far from perfect, but i think it's good enough to share it with you guys. 

if you want to comment, please be so kind and keep in mind that it was my first try today and i'll need way more practice^^
