You don’t need a special occasion to wear red actually. But if you are too shy (or whatever reason you have) to wear it on a casual day – go ahead and wear it for the Valentine’s.

Speaking of Valentine’s – I used to hate is with a passion, but now I love that day. Why? Because it’s Makeup4all’s Birthday. This Valentine it will turn THREE years old which is unbelievable.

But back to the lipsticks. I have chosen seven variants of the lipstick that are not limited edition.

If I do a red lip – I like a bright deep matte or satin  colour, but since not everyone would go for that I’ve also added a sheer version and a lip/cheek stain.

Let’s take a look!

So here are the swatches. I am not going to write anything as you can read all the reviews but clicking the links!

1. Ellis Faas  Creamy Lips in L101 Ellis Red – see it on the lips here

2. High Impact lipsticks by Daniel Sandler in

Here is a preview of Daniel Sandler’s Spring 2012 makeup collection called Spring Sunset.

Here is what Daniel himself says:

“My Spring Sunset colour collection will enhance a woman’s natural beauty by using tones that Mother Nature herself creates. These unusual yet flattering shades haven’t been seen for ages and they’re perfect for creating the new “no makeup” makeup trend seen on the S/S 2012 runway at shows such as Nicole Farhi and Jaeger.”

•  Dimensional Eye Shadow in Pale Moon £10.25
•  Sheer Satin Eye Shadow in Terracotta £10.25

Remember my post about the beautiful candles that would make a great Christmas present?

I’ve actually got the In Love Candle by Daniel Sandler just in time for Christmas from Daniel himself. That was such a lovely gift!

It comes in luxury black packaging which is glossy on two sides and matte on two other sides. Inside you can see the black, white, and red DS logos.

As for the candle itself, it is made in collaboration with Jonathan Ward, and I already love his candles, so I had no doubt about the quality. And it is a great quality, the burning is very clean.

In Love is made with organic soy wax and is hand-poured into hand-blown Italian crystal glass.

I absolutely love the notes that were chosen for this candle:

End of September – end of November are very busy months for me in terms of Birthdays of very special people!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to find out what the person wants to get. Sometimes I’d find out with the help of other people but sometimes I would just ask.

I’ve noticed that very often my girlfriends ask for a mascara makeup-wise.  In fact, I had two mascaras requests last week.

I though that may be useful information as the holidays are approaching. And since almost every woman wears mascara, you can’t really go wrong.

Here is just a photo of some random mascaras that I’ve found in my personal makeup stash.

Ellis Faas mascara, Hourglass Film Noir mascara, DiorShow Ultimate mascara, Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara, Benefit BADGal mascara, Smashbox Bionic mascara, Lancome Hypnose mascara, Daniel Sandler Baby Jet mascara, BECCA The Ultimate mascara.

If you want a budget friendly variant, I’d recommend Max Factor 2000 Calories or Max Factor False Lash Effect, both are amazing!

I wrote about Daniel Sandler new Watercolour in POP last week and today I want to show you how it actually looks like applied.

I’ve been wearing it non-stop ever since I received mine.  I can definitely see why is it called POP as it is a pretty pink shade which gives  a pop of colour to your complexion. POP also contains silver shimmer which looks beautiful in real life and  on the photos.

Daniel actually told me that it is his favourite shade. By the way, you can follow him on twitter for some great tips and more.

Here is a swatch. Can you see how
