Inspired by Chanel Spring Summer Neapolis Collection 2018

This blog post contains *PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. Inspired by is a series I started to convince me that I did not need to rush out and buy lots of new products to recreate a certain makeup look, but that I´d manage to recreate something it by shopping my stash.     I did a lot of those posts over the last years, some turned out better, some turned out horrendous, but most of them were fun.

Inspired by YSL Solar Pop Collection Summer 2017

If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included! The look that made the cut this time is effortless, summery, and (quite an exception this season) not featuring blue eyeshadow and orange lips.

If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included! Dior Colour Gradation Makeup Collection Spring 2017.     That one was a challenge. I don’t own many blue eyeshadows, and even though I know that blue is going to be big this year, I don´t think I will invest in many more. Achieving a…

Dressing up and awkward posing included!     Quite honestly, the Dior Splendor Holiday 2016 makeup wasn´t much of a challenge, makeup wise. Nor was it super unique. But I have done the Dior Holiday look every year since starting the series (here and here), and I have a weakness for…
