Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation & Concealer
We are kicking off the week with a 2-in-1 review of the new Urban Decay Stay Naked foundation and concealer. These products created some hype when they first launched last August. Of course it took ages to come stores in The Netherlands which meant I wasn’t able to try it properly until early September. I…

30 Day Make Up Challenge #17 Matte
Are you ready for an all matte make up look? Because that is exactly what I have in store for you today. I know that this thing is called the 30 Day Make Up Challenge, but by now I have been making my way through the different tasks for a year and a half. But…

30 Day Make Up Challenge #18: Extreme
For this rendition of the 30 Day Make Up Challenge, I decided to think outside of my comfort zone. I decided to pile on the make up and even though this may not be very extreme for some people, it is for me. I often only have 15 minutes, if that, when I do my…

30 Day make up challenge #16 – colorful
Oh yes, the 30 day make up challenge is still on! This time we’re playing with color. Since I hit the halfway mark last January, I’ve noticed that this challenge is now taking a far more interesting term. Interesting, challenging and more innovative than the past 15 installments have been. So here’s to trying something…

My signature make up look
It’s been a while since I made a video and I thought that the next installment for the 30 Day Make Up Challenge would be a good one. Today we’re on Day 15: Signature make up look. Watch the video below to see how I go from a bare face to a full face of…

Happy Moments #7
Let’s get personal again shall we? Lately I’ve been realizing just how blessed I am and how amazing my life actually is. I’m not sure why, but before, when things got hectic, I sometimes lost track of that, but I’ve taught myself how to focus on positive things when life feels like a maelstrom. With…

30 day make up challenge #13: Contouring
A make up technique I only just started applying is contouring. I don’t do it every day, and I definitely am not very good at it. I feel I just haven’t found the right brush yet to ensure a nicely blended contour. So far, I’ve succeeded in drawing a line, but I usually find them…

Sleek I-Divine eye shadow palettes
For today’s blog post I decided to change it up a bit. This isn’t necessarily a review, but more like a swatch blog post. Back in the day, I used to buy make up, but I didn’t necessarily take the pictures for placement on my blog. The result? A bunch of awesome products I never…

30 Day make up challenge #12: Glitter
On with the themed eyelooks of the 30 day make up challenge! Last time meant making smokey eyes, today it’s the complete opposite. This time I’m trying my hand at glitter. Only to sort through my entire stash to find out I own next to no glitter make up products. It’s just something I never…

Completed book challenge
I did it! I made it! I finished my Goodreads reading challenge of reading 50 books in 2016. And what a ride it’s been. In this post I will tell you all that I experienced while doing the challenge and will share some titbits about my favorite and least favorite reads. A bookcase filled with…

30 day make up challenge #11: Smokey
Moving on the 30 day make up challenge ladder. It’s a slow and steady process, but trust me I haven’t forgotten about this challenge. I hadn’t set out to complete this challenge in 30 days anyway, and so I feel that as long as I complete it in the end we’ll be fine. The last…

Best eye shadow colors for brown/ hazel eyes
When it comes to eye shadow I love my every day neutral looks. However, I am not afraid of using a little bit of color. Depending on the season, I have a preference for different colors that I feel fit best with my eye color. I have brown eyes with a hint of green in…

216 of 2016
It’s become quite the tradition for me to write up a giant list of facts of my year in review. I usually post these on January 1st, but I’m sure nobody minds me doing it a few days later this year. And this time I’ve decided to tag on a few new year’s resolutions/ a…

30 day make up challenge #10: Black
Is anyone with me on a love/hate relationship with black eyeshadow? Don’t get me wrong, black eyeshadow is a staple color to have, but I hardly ever reach for it. To me, it’s a bit too dark, too much and usually makes my small eyes look even smaller. But for this 10th installment of my…

L’Oreal Butterfly False Lash Effect mascara
Talking about a long overdue review! I have been using this mascara for 2 years I believe and not once did I mention it in a review. Shame on me, and so I am here to turn the tide and introduce you to one of my favorite mascaras: the L’Oreal False Lash Wings Midnight Blacks…

30 day make up challenge # 9: Grey
Wow how long has it been since I last showed you a 30 day make up challenge post? A little search on the blog tells me it’s been almost 2 months. Yikes! Time to put this challenge back into business. I’m showing you a very simple look (again). I just find these first 10 assignments…

30 day make up challenge # 8: Red (budget look)
When I think of red in a make up look, I unmistakably think of red lips. I do have red eyeshadow, but I think that I will have to use that in looks that are coming up in the future. So for this one, I’ve decided to keep things simple on the eyes and go…

30 day make up challenge #6: Blue
Time to play catch up! As you may have read in my previous installment of my 30 day make up challenge, I accidentally skipped the color blue. So today I present to you my blue make up look. I have been playing around a bit with my camera settings to ensure that the colors look…

30 day make up challenge: pink vintage party look
Last Sunday, my friend threw another vintage party on behalf of her historical events company Beleef het Verleden. This is the 4th such party she held and I attended all 4 (you can find links to my other 3 looks at the end of this post). The party had a vintage theme, meaning the dress…

30 day make up challenge #4: bronze
So much for calling this challenge the 30 day make up challenge if I posted the last look in this series over a month ago right? Oh well… I thought I’d kick back into the swing of things with this warm bronze look. After soft greens I now introduce you to shimmering smokey browns. I…

30 day make up challenge #5: Peach
The 30 day make up challenge is still going strong, however I found out I made a mistake. After the green make up look, I should have done a blue one, but instead I chose the next one of the list and went with bronze. So yeah, I skipped one. My bad and I’ll make…

My New Year’s Eve make up look
The original plan was to post my signature make up look today. As part of the 30 day make up challenge that I am still working on after over a year. One blog goal for this year is to complete that challenge. I’m not sure yet how I’ll do that, but I thought I might…

30 Day Make Up Challenge #2: Purple
Day 2 of the 30 Day Make Up Challenge calls for a purple look. And when I saw this gorgeous by MUA, I just knew it was what I would be using to create this look. I made this look before I went to work and I was in a bit of a hurry and…

30 Day Make Up Challenge #3: Green
We are still on the color themes of the 30 day make up challenge. The first 10 rounds are, and we are now at round no. 3 which calls for a green make up look. I went with this very autumnal looks, with a mossy green eye and a plum colored lip. It’s a mix…

2014 make up favorites
Before reading this post, I suggest you grab yourself a cup of tea, hot cocoa or anything else to keep you entertained while reading. Because we’re in for the long haul. I really did try to narrow down my make up favorites, but I’ve been a) trying so many new products and b) been liking…
