  • Rimmel Provocalips Play with Fire & Kiss Me You Fool

    Where last week was all about red lips for beginners, this week I am bringing you quite the opposite. The two Rimmel Provocalips liquid lipsticks I am reviewing for you today, are a both a full on red. There is no beating about the bush with these two babies, because…

  • Essence & Catrice liquid lipsticks

    Are you ready for liquid lipsticks review #211100? I feel like all brands are coming out with liquid lipsticks and after reviewing the Anastasia Liquid Lipstick and the MUA Velvet Lip Lacquers the turn is now for Essence and Catrice to show what they have in store. Essence Liquid Lipstick…

  • Lip addict tag

    Tag time! I saw this tag going round multiple places, but I didn’t decide doing it myself until I saw it on Denise’s blog. She posted about it on her Instagram this week and thought: I want to do that tag. So here we go!

  • Maybelline Color Sensational matte lipsticks

    One of the products I wanted to get my hands on when I was in the US, were the Maybelline Color Sensational matte lipsticks. I heard some raves about these from US beauty gurus on Youtube and I liked the Color Sensational lipsticks I had tried in the past. So…

  • MUA velvet lip lacquer

    I am all about liquid lipsticks these days. It is a true hype in the land of beauty and I already reviewed the Anastasia Liquid Lipstick in Carina two weeks ago and I loved that. Time to see if the much more budget friendly version released by Make Up Academy…

  • Anastasia liquid lipstick Carina

    A beauty product that took the beauty world by storm when it launched were the Anastasia liquid lipsticks. Then again, matte, fully opaque long lasting liquid lipsticks are hot and happening right now and there are many brands that do them. Anastasia Beverly Hills made sure plenty of bloggers and…

  • Dior lipstick round up

    When it comes to the highest priced make up brands, my favorite would have to be Dior. I feel their overall collection is well-rounded, with plenty of classics (but not only) and the odd bright pop of color (yet nothing too crazy). One side of the brand I hadn’t really…

  • L’Oreal Extraordinaire liquid lipsticks

    It seems that summer time for me has been all about rounding up some reviews of older products that I do really enjoy but just never got round to review. Today I am showing you two products that have been around for some time, but the buzz around these has…

  • NYX lip gloss, lipstick & butter gloss

    Just recently the Douglas around the corner from my house reopened and now includes some new brands. Apart from high end brands Bobbi Brown and Benefit, we now also have NYX! Excitement abounds as NYX is a great brand, but so hard to get a hold of. Back in the…

  • Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencil

    Lip pencil come lipsticks/ lip balms are one of the biggest trends in make up land in recent years. NARS do them. Clinique do them. So it was not going to be long until drugstore brands would dive into a lip pencil that works just like a lip pencil. At…

  • Dior Addict Gloss Fastes

    For the longest time I had a Dior Addict lipgloss on my wishlist. Mainly because I adore the packaging. But spending more than 30 euros on a product that I wasn’t sure I was going to wear (I wear lipgloss next to never), I never actually gave it any serious…

  • Topshop lipsticks: Armour & Beguiled

    Did you know Topshop just opened its first store in The Netherlands? No? Well now you do. On Feb 26th the very first Topshop opened in The Netherlands. I haven’t had a chance to visit yet, but I am certainly curious to see what they have on offer. And one…

  • Favorite lipstick colors for spring

    Where my eyelooks become more muted for spring, I love to instead put the focus on my lips for spring. Out come the bright pinks, corals and reds, good bye smokey eyes. For this post I’ve picked some of my favorite shades that I find myself bringing out year after…

  • Catrice Ultimate Colour lipsticks On the Pink Side of Life & Rose-Mantic Nights

    Lipsticks didn’t used to be my thing. I was more of an eyeshadow girl. Until I figured out that a good lipstick can make or break your entire make up look. I love wearing different shades and experimenting with them to see what suits me best. So when Catrice renewed…

  • Catrice Luminous Lips lipsticks

    Last week I spotted the renewed Catrice line and part of that renewal are the Luminous Lips lipsticks. I posted a first impression last Saturday, but I hadn’t tried them properly just yet. I picked up three different shades of this new lipstick range which replaces the Ultimate Shine line.…

  • Catrice Viennart & Ultimate stay lipsticks

    It is no secret that one of my favorite drugstore brands for lipsticks is Catrice. When I spotted their Christmas limited edition collection in stores this year, I wasn’t too impressed at first. But I came, swatched and picked up two shimmery numbers as well as one of their new…

  • It’s the season… to wear lipstick

    You say Christmas, I say red lip. A good red lip is about the most Christmassy thing I think of. I love red lipstick in general, but with Christmas it’s even more festive and fun looking. In my fall lipstick post, I showed you mainly berries and purples. But today,…

  • 6x lips for fall

    I love how fall allows you to go all out with your make up. In summer I never feel like wearing too much as it just melts away. For fall, I love that I can wear smokey eyes and some of my favorite lip colors: berries & plums. I have…

  • YSL Rouge pur Couture lipsticks in Rose Perfecto & Fuchsia Fétiche

    If there is one thing I love more in the world than anything, it’s a good lipstick. True, I love my eyeshadows and blush, but ever since I discovered lipstick, it simply takes the cake. High end lipsticks especially. There is just something a bit more special about them. From…

  • 3x new Catrice lip products

    In my recent beauty haul I showed you a couple of lip products I picked up from drugstore brand Catrice. I took home a lip smoother and two lipsticks. I’ve been trying them out and today I will briefly review all three products. Catrice Beautifying Lip Smoother 030 Cake Pop…

  • Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy lipstick Impulsive

    Nude lips. Not my cup of tea. Not at all. Nude is a little too nude on me and very quickly makes me look like I was raised from the dead. Still, since I like to wear quite bold eyeshadow looks from time to time, finding a good every day…

  • My neutral drugstore lipsticks

    Nude or neutral lips: not necessarily my cup of tea. Finding the perfect ‘my lips but better’ shade can be a pain and often I just think: what’s the point?! You could manage just fine with a layer of sheer lip balm to create a similar effect. Yet, because of…

  • Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks in 69 & Venom

    One of my favorite brands for eyeshadows is Urban Decay. I swear by their Naked palettes, I have both Vice palettes and a few other random bits and bops as well. On international blogs I found that they also launched a range of lipsticks, but I haven’t really seen these…

  • HEMA Moisturising Lipsticks

    Don’t you just love finding great make up products that are a steal? I sure do and when I found these lipsticks at my local HEMA, I was a very happy bunny. These lipsticks are budgetproof, stay on nicely, and don’t dry out your lips. Even better: the range comes…

  • New in: YSL Rouge pur Couture in Rouge Neon

    After daily posts towards the end of the year, I decided to take a bit of a breather for 2 days and didn’t blog. What better way to get back into the swing of things, then with another high end lipstick purchase. The minute I saw this amazingly bright orange…

  • Chanel lipstick in L’eclatante

    Recently, Ici Paris XL had another one of their infamous 40% off on all lip products deals and naturally I couldn’t resist taking a peek. That peek resulted in the buying off a lip color I have been eyeballing for months. And this time, I finally decided to buy it.…

  • New in: YSL lipstick in tropical pink

    One make up trend for spring/ summer 2013 are bold bright lips. I have been on a bit of a lip kick make up wise. I’ve been changing up my standard heavy smokey eye and switching it for bolder, darker and brighter lips on and off since last summer. These…
