Hema 2016 Christmas make up collection
Every year HEMA, a Dutch store that does it all, releases some special edition make up products. I reviewed some of those last year as well and when I saw this year’s offerings I knew I had to pick up some items to show you. I find the selection and little bit more limiting than…

I Heart Make Up Unicorn Hearts highlighter
Baked make up products are an acquired taste if you ask me. It’s not that I don’t like them, but 9 out of 10 times you have to work hard to make the product do very little in the end. But when I heard about the new I Heart Make Up Unicorn Hearts highlighter, I…

First impression: Kruidvat Originals
Affordable skincare difficult to find? I think so. If there is one thing I like to invest in a little bit it’s my skincare. Good skincare will do wonders and I have been getting a lot of compliments lately about the way my skin looks because I finally found a routine that works. It’s extensive…

High end products I would repurchase
High end make up products are the type of product that I usually give a good hard think before buying them. I like comparing and weighing opinions before shelling out €40 for a foundation. Still, once I have a certain product in my possession, my aim is to make the product last as long a…

H&M Beauty liquid lipsticks
Earlier this year I decided to try some H&M Beauty. About a year ago the brand completely revamped their make up line and I knew I wanted to try a few bits. I already showed you the single eyeshadows and bronzer that I purchased, time to show you some of the lip products I picked…

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Pearl
If there is one make up product that is high on many beauty lovers’ wishlists it has to be a Becca highlight. In the past 2 years, Becca has become THE talk of the town when it comes to highlighters and for good reason. Their highlights are intense, incredibly smooth and most importantly: non-glittery. I…

Lush store opening The Hague
Last Friday the biggest Lush in The Netherlands opened its doors in the center of The Hague. And I was there. One of my blogging friends, Jolanda, was in New York and offered for someone to take her place. I of course gladly accepted. This Lush is the first of its kind in The Netherlands.…

Low budget & high end tag
Tag time! I thought it was high time for me to do a beauty tag. I don’t do these too often, but they are fun from time to time. Today I will be taking you through a rather controversial topic in the land of beauty: low budget vs. high end make up products. Care to…

LA Girl Pro Conceal Concealer Light Ivory
I am a sucker for concealer. Yes, I love my shadows and colorful make up products, but when it comes to base products, concealers are my jam. I am not much of a foundation girl. I will take a light coverage foundation over a full coverage one any day. But when it comes to concealer…

Make Up Geek Duo Chrome & Foiled eyeshadows
One brand which I had been curious about for some time was Make Up Geek. For a long time, this brand was fairly hard to get a hold of in Europe, but ever since BeautyBay started stocking the brand, it’s become a lot easier. So a few months ago I decided to take the plunge…

Kiehl’s mini review
Today I have a 3-in-1 review for you of a few mini sized Kieh’l’s products. I received these minis as part of a gift set and I figured it would be best to review them all together in one blog post. There’s the Ultra Facial Cream, the Creme de Corps body lotion and finally the…

The best bang for your buck
Where I love me some higher end make up, I couldn’t go without my drugstore gems. They may be a touch harder to find, but when you do, they are there to stay. So I thought it would be good to show you some of those drugstore gems. These are the products that I think…

Eek! It’s November which means we can start thinking of Christmas. The Body Shop is nicely helping us along with doing that, as they have just released their new Christmas scents to stores this week. There are three scents and all three are different from anything The Body Shop has put out before, yet still…

Urban Decay Highlighter Aura
Despite the highlighter craze it wasn’t one of my favorite make up products for a long time. I tried a few here and there, but most highlighters tend to be golden toned and I don’t always find that flattering on my fair skin tone. But that’s when I discovered cool toned highlights and how they…

The Body Shop skincare favorites
It may not have been lost on you that the past two days, there were no blog posts going live. That’s because I spent some time traveling and once I got back, I didn’t have the energy to write some new blog posts. So apologies for that, but today I’m back with new content! To…

Bobbi Brown pressed powder
Last year I decided that one brand I hadn’t tried many products of was Bobbi Brown. Then one day, a Bobbi Brown counter opened in my town and I went in to get a few products. I bought and already reviewed a foundation stick, a corrector and a shimmer brick. Today I will be reviewing…

The one face travel make up bag
When I travel I like to pack light. I try not to take a ton of make up with me and keep it very simple. I will take enough make up with me to have a bit of variety, but for the most part, it revolves around a couple of similar products that I always…

MayBeauty The Incredible Face Gel
This past year my skin has become so much better when it comes to being sensitive and prone to allergic reactions. I truly believe that my new and improved skincare routine is the reason why and that has made me feel more adventurous to try new skincare products. When I discovered MayBeauty, a newly launched…

MAC lipsticks: Relentlessy Red, Captive, Rebel, Darkside
If there is one brand whose lipstick I love it would be MAC. I remember the days when everyone was raving about their favorite colors and you weren’t part of the beauty community if 50% of your make up collection wasn’t MAC. Boy, how times have changed. But MAC lipsticks are still getting a lot…

For fall Sleek has released three new I-Divine eyeshadow palettes: On the Horizon, Goodnight Sweetheart and Nordic Skies. I decided to buy two of them and today, I am reviewing the first…

Catrice lipstick collection
As far as budget make up goes, Catrice is my favorite brand. And their lipsticks are some of the best affordable lipsticks on the market. That’s why I thought it would be cool to show you the different lipstick shades I collected over the years. Some of these have now been discontinued, but often they…
