Coral Forever...


Hi everybody!

I hope you had a nice weekend! In Austria we had Monday off because of Whit Monday, so today, Tuesday, feels like a Monday! :-)

For me, it was an outdoor weekend, I was really happy the weather played along nicely, it was fun to be out moving!

As you know I have taken up jogging again this spring (totally inspired by MissChievous' summer fit videos). It's gotten to the point where I "need it" after a long day at work, which is good, but we'll see how long that lasts! :-) Usually, it takes little and I'll be lying on the couch again! :-))

Anyway, my fitness score on Runtastic this month so far:

Not bad, right?


Kilometers run:

 Since I needed new running clothes, I went to H&M and got myself this outift:


Both top and shorts are still available, if you're interested, I'll link you to the pages here and here.

Oh, and by the way, I am on Instagram now, if you want to follow me, I'm @_blusherine!

Since coral is my favorite color, I painted my nails coral to match my outfit:


 Essence Nail Polish in Be Flowerful
(Floral Grunge Collection)

 Makeup-wise I hit pan on two eyeshadows by Nyx from their Champagne & Caviar Palette, which is always a good thing, right? :-)




The two colors are comparable to Soft Brown and Mystery by MAC, I use the light brown shade to blend out the crease and the dark brown shade to deepen up the outer corner.

I have this palette at my boyfriend's place and it's my "one does it all palette", what I love about it is that it has shimmery lid colors and then a matte highlight shade, a matte blending shade and a matte dark brown shade, that's just perfect! If you have a lot of eyeshadows already, this isn't a must-have though, it's very convenient for me because I have most of my makeup collection in my own apartment and I need a good versatile palette at my boyfriend's place!

What else last week?

I went on a Via Ferrata in Mödling, Lower Austria, here are a couple of pictures from that trip:





Mödling lies 16 km south of Vienna, here is a picture of the town (you can see the outskirts of Vienna in the upper left corner):



The aqueduct in the front part of the picture is actually still in use, it transports drinking water to Vienna!

Then yesterday, on Whit Sunday, we went to Tulln in Lower Austria for a walk on the promenade along the Danube river and to get some ice cream. Near the promenade there are statues of the Nibelungenlied which I took pictures of:


 

 

And to finish off my week in pictures, here are two dishes I had:


Tikka Masala, an Indian dish, cooked by my friends

  

A platter of cold cuts at our local wine tavern
 
That's it, that's my week in pictures.

I hope you also had a good week and are ready for the one to come!

MAC Bare My Soul Quad

Hi ladies!

Today I tried out my new MAC Bare My Soul Eyeshadow Quad from the current Temperature Rising Collection.

Here is what the palette looks like:



And here come swatches:

 (click to enlarge)


For the look I made it a point to only use the colors in the palette, because I think if you go out and get it, you should be able to do a look without having to add a ton of additional colors.

So here is what I came up with: 


 


Products used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Maybelline Color Tattoo On and on Bronze (all over lid)

MAC Quad:
Bare my Soul (all over lid)
Romantico (in the crease, blended up almost until brow)
When in Rio (outer v)
Friendly (outer lower lashline)
Romantico (inner lower lashline)

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in shade 10 (as highlight)

MAC Pearlglide Eyeliner Petrol Blue (upper waterline)
 MAC Eye Kohl Teddy (lower waterline)

MAC Plush Lash Mascara
b.pretty transparent eyebrow gel

 
 Here is everything laid out:


   
And here are two more pictures:

MAC Temperature Rising Collection


Hi everyone!

I went to MAC's Preview Party for their collection Temperature Rising yesterday, together with Lilly and Nyota. We met many fellow bloggers there, Kirschblüte, Chinda-Chan, Michischaaf, Nagellackprinzessin, am I missing anyone?

As always it was great fun to stroll around and swatch everything. I also enjoyed talking to complete strangers at the testers, it was interesting to see what they thought of the items.

There werde three collections on display: Temperature Rising, Art of the Eye and Fashion Sets (Fashion Sets had no testers however), so expect these color stories to launch on May 2nd at MACs here in Austria!

I am always looking forward to summer collections, they are my favorite ones throughout the year, I just love the bronzy, tan, coppery shades and I feel like I could plaster them all over me! :-D

So I did my share of haulin' for sure!

I was really impressed by the two eyeshadow quads and I got them both, gorgeous gorgeous colors, well selected and put together:


 
Bare My Soul Eyeshadow Quad


Here is a look with the palette:

The second eyeshadow quad is:

 
Temperature Rising Eyeshadow Quad

 Of the bronzers I already had Sun Dipped Prolongwear Bronzer from last year's Hey Sailor Collection, I can totally recommend that bronzer if anyone is interested!

Since I am a total bronzer girl and I have always wanted to try Refined Golden (which is permanent), here was a chance to pick it up in the pretty LE packaging:

Refined Golden Bronzing Powder

Already tried it this morning, love it! 

Of course Blusherine rarely leaves a preview party without buying a lipstick, so here is the one I picked up:

 
Caliente Lipstick (Dazzle)

For a dazzle finish this lipstick is really pigmented! There IS a good (good!!) share of glitter in the formula, but - opposed to dazzle finishes that have been released before - there is also a good base color, so you get both glitter AND color when applying the lipstick!

Since I love the regular Strobe Liquid Lotion available in the permanent MAC range and I'm almost out of it, I thought I'd give the bronzy version a try:

Strobe Liquid Lotion Golden Elixir

 I applied it this morning and  - at a first glance - I think the regular version is a little more reflecting (in a good way) than this one (the original one being whitish). The shimmer in the bronze version is much closer to my skintone than the shimmer in the regular version, so it doesn't show up quite as well! But don't quote me on this one, I will have to really compare the two before I commit to my opinion based on just one usage! :-)

At checkout there was a really nice surprise:

  
A free drinking bottle, yay! :-)

Comes really handy now that I have started jogging again! Thank you MAC!

Are you eyeing anything from the collection?
Any favorites, must-haves, no-gos? :-)
