HOLLYWOOD GLAM

Good afternoon lovely readers,

a couple weeks ago Miss Irina from Stella Models visited the House of Knoth for yet another test photoshoot. 

Just some background info on Irina for you guys - just to make us normal people feel bad about themselves :p This beautiful lady you are seeing before you has already given birth to two (!) super cute kids! I mean, I'm beyond words, she looks freakin amazing! Frequenting the gym every once in a while doesn't seem so bad, considering... Oh, and good genes help, too :)

For the shoot I decided to try my hand on glam hollywood curls (did I mention that Irina has the most enviable hair ever? Like ever!). I paired it with a neutral eye and my favorite red lipstick, Lady Danger by MAC; et voila there you have your classic retro Hollywood Glam look. 

Cheers,

HAPPY CORPSE DAY - MY LIPSTICK COLLECTION

Hello fellow make up lovers,

today is a holiday in Austria - Frohnleichnahm in case you're interested, 'happy corpse day' is what I call it :p I honestly have no idea what happened on that day and why they give us the day off, but based on the name I reckon it's got something to do with Jesus' dead body... I should google this one day, been wondering for years... 

Aaanyways guys, bottom line is, I had time today. Yes, TIME; I was sleeping in, did the dishes, checked the news (and Daily Mail oops :), and when the weather was still kinda so so I decided to start getting organized. Lipstick wise that is. 

If you own more than say... 30 lipsticks you know that at some point you kinda loose track of what you own and tend to just grab one of your 10 go-to ones, while the other 20+ lipsticks rarely see the light of day. Guilty, anyone? :) So knowing what you own is always a good thing. For me, since I am building up my make up kit at the moment, having an overview of what I have and still need to buy to cover all lipstick colors for all skin types is crucial (like life and death crucial hahaha). 

So since I swatched all my lip products and took photos anyways I thought I could just post them here as well. All lipsticks are grouped by color (kinda...), except MAC lipsticks that are all swatched together. Fluid lipsticks, lip pens and lip liners got swatched separately. Photos were taken in natural day light without direct sun, and with flash. Enjoy ;)

Cheers,

LES FLEURS MULTICOLOR

Hey guys,

for this photoshoot I was taking inspiration from this year's fashion week make up and Vienna's Life Ball theme "Garten der Lüste" (garden of earthly delights). Pastel eyes, graphic liner elements, intense lips and flowers in the model's hair, paired with the all-white current fashion trend. Oui oui, c'est trendy trendy :p Hope you enjoy!
