Get the Look for Less - Chanel Metiers d'Art '15 // Consigue el Look por Menos

Hello pretty Ladies! Today I'm opening a new section on the blog called "Get the Look for Less". In this section I'll reproduce beautiful make up looks with low cost products so you can get the same effect expending less money. I hope you like it! :)

The same day as the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, in Salzburg, Karl Lagerfeld showed the Chanel Metiers d'Art collection. The beauty look was really femenine and opulent with nude lips and beautiful smokey eyes with gold glitter eyeliner. The eyes gleamed with the candle lights and the models looked like dolls with their porcelain skin and hair bows.
 
Here's the official makeup list used on the show in case you're curious about it. Some of the products haven't been released yet and the highligter Camelia de Plumes is a limited edition product that they've just released for Christmas:
To achieve the same I have selected some cosmetics that will give a similar global look. I'm not going to use as many products as in the Chanel's list because otherwise it will end up being super expensive and I want to keep it affordable. So let's see the low cost selection!
 
 
Liquid Eyeliner in 37, by Inglot (10 €) // Microshadows in Nightfall and Brownie, by Make Up Store (16, 20 €) // Lash Princess, by Essence (4,19 €) // Nail Lacquer in Ballet Slippers, by Essie (8,95 €) // Eyebrow Stylist, by Sleek (6, 99 €) // Powder Blush in Natural and Pinched, NYX (4, 99 €) // Accord Perfect Foundation, by L'Oréal (18,98 €) // Concealer Wand, by NYX (5, 99 €) // All about Matt Compact Powder, by Essence (3,79 €) // Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights, by Makeup Revolution (3,80 €) // Baby Lips in Hidrate Me, by Maybelline (3,86 €) // Ultimate Shine Gel Lipcolor in Better than Nude, by Catrice (4,59 €) // Smart Lip Pencil in 703 Rosewood, by Kiko (2, 50 €)
 
Did you like the look? And the section? Is there any makeup that you would like me to recreate? Tell me in the comments! Kisses :)

Victoria's Secret Show '14 // Products Revealed

Yesterday the Angels strut their stuff on the runway for the annual Victoria's Secret Show that took place for the first time in London. We all want to know the secrets behind those gorgeous women, apart that they were lucky in the genetics department!
 
They get ready for four hours before they're ready to spread their wings in front  of all the world and during that time a huge amount of people help them to look as beautiful as angels. Hair extensions, makeup on face and body, hand and foot massages... I would love to have all that but since I will never be able to go to that runway, I've checked their backstage pictures to look for visible products so that I can share them with you and we can try to recreate their looks at home.

Without further delay, here you have the pictures and products! You can find the links to buy them under each picture. Do you like the show? Do you like the kind of beauty they represent? Kisses!

PS: I will update this post if I see new products when they reveal more pictures during the next days. *Edited (4 more added)

Beauty Gift Guide // Under 30 €

Hello ladies! These gifts series are almost done, only one to go (of course if you want more gift ideas just ask and I'll make more!) Today is the turn of a selection of cosmetics under 30€. My favourites? The Tamanna Palette and the Box o' Blushes, specially the second one is amazing because of all the blushes you get for such a low price. Another one I want to get is the Contour Kit, it's becoming really well known and I want to try it so badly!
 
The packaging from Lush is really pretty and their products always smell like heaven! St. Tropez is the master of the self tanning products and the brushes set by Japoneques is great for travelling since the tube will protect them from any accidental blow. If you are looking for something extra luxurious you should choose the Diorific lipstick (it has two finishes in one!) and for an extra glitter touch, choose the nail set from China Glaze. In the classics department we have the Touche Éclat and the Beauty Blender, two of the most famous products in the cosmetic market.
 
Have you already bought your gifts? Are you planning on getting something specific this year? Tell me in the comments! :)
