Missha BB Cream
As you may have noticed from some of my shoplogs I have set out to trying some new beauty products. One of these new products is a real Asian BB Cream. I bought the Garnier BB Cream when it came out in October and have been loving it. I have been using it every day…

We are nearing the end of my showcasing my make up collection. I literally have only 2 more of these I can do and after that, I don’t have any more make up to show you. Today I will be showing you my Sleek I-Divine eyeshadow palettes. I have 7 of them and I love…

My first Make Up Store purchase
There are soooo many make up brands out there and the more you read about make up, the more brands you hear about that are sometimes harder to find. One such brand, is Make Up Store. This Swedish make up brand falls into a similar price range as MAC, but is slightly more difficult to…

FOTD: Subtle Neon Green
This week I am not posting a nail of the week. The reason? Because I want to try something new, but am not yet sure how it will turn out. So that post will be back next week. Instead, I thought that the eyelook I made a few days ago turned out rather nicely so…

Make Up Collection: Face Products
Let’s have another look at my make up collection. Today features the category that interests me the least. Face products just aren’t something that you need a ton of. Once you have the right color, you have the right color and you can just stick to that. I watch these make up collections on youtube…

Review: John Frieda Go Blonder
‘Wow your hair looks blonde!’ That’s how I was greeted by a friend the other day. Ever since I got my hair cut I have been using some John Frieda Go Blonder products to get that dull winter look out of my hair and spruce it up for summer. Curious to see whether it works?…

LOTD: Rocker chic
It’s time for a new outfit of the day with a make up look to match. Now I have to apologize in advance for the quality of some of these pictures. By the time I could take these pictures, the skies had turned an eerie gray color and thunder and lightning was abound. The weather…

FOTD: Minimal smokey eye
I had no clue what to call the following look. The way this came about is because I just recently bought a few items from budget proof brand Catrice which I wanted to try. So to keep it simple I decided to just use all three products in one look. I’m surprised at how it…

FOTD: Green with Envy
The last time I posted a look, I showed you my take on the 1920s flapper girl look. That is why I thought it was time to show you a more contemporary look again. I loved the look I made the other day, but unfortunately taking pictures somehow was a feat that day. My camera…

FOTD: cool bronze
As promised a few days ago, when I posted an outfit of the day, that I would post a separate on a make up look. The outfit I posted went with a makeupless face. I just didn’t feel inspired that day to do any make up and usually on days off I will opt out…

LOTD: Orange & Polka Dots
Today I have another look of the day for you. This time featuring a ditsy polka dot dress and a bright orange eye look. I bought the dress at Topshop in Dublin when I was there in August and apart from a salsa night in September I hadn’t had the chance to wear it yet.…

Haircut time
This past month my hair was absolutely hideous. It looked awful. I couldn’t wear it down and it felt dry in certain places too. It has been nearly 6 months since I last went for a haircut and since my hair just looked bad overall I decided to get it cut. Last time, I not…

Make up collection: Catrice & Essence eyeshadow
Catrice & Essence are two very budget friendly make up brands which are available here. I have a bunch of mono eyeshadows from them, which I transferred into a Z-palette as the single packaging took up too much space. Here are the shadows & the swatches: The palette The round shadows are by Essence, the…

Review: The Falsies Flared Mascara
I am not one to easily change up beauty products. My skin hates most cremes to begin with and I figure: when I like something, why exchange it for something that I could potentially hate? That is why I usually stick to what I have been using for a while. With that said though, I…

My 5 favorite blushes for spring
Let’s talk blusher! I think one major make up item that can easily amp up any look is blush. Especially when you where foundation or use anything else to even out your skin, it’s a must just to give more dimension to your face. Apart from eyeshadow I think blush is the make up product…

Look what I won: Andrelon hair care
A while ago, Dutch beauty blogger Veracamilla held a giveaway contest where you could win the complete haircare line of European haircare brand Andrélon. You could enter to win the line for straight or curly hair. When I saw the contest I immediately decided to enter. You had to explain why you wanted to win…

My New Inglot Eyeshadow Palette
As you saw in my Amsterdam shoplog, I bought a new Inglot eyeshadow palette. I already have one 5 eyeshadow palette which I purchased in September. Having loved this palette so much, I knew I wanted more. I don’t have that many bright colors of eyeshadow and since brights and pastels are in style for…

Make up collection: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
It’s here. It’s finally here! The other week the Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette was introduced to the Dutch market without as much as a whisper. No one knew when or even if it would show up in our tiny country and then suddenly it did. So when I went to The Hague last…

Make Up Collection: Depotted Eyeshadows #2
Last week I already showed you my depotted NYX eyeshadows, but I have another palette filled with Sephora eyeshadows which I will show you today. Now I hear many people say bad things about Sephora shadows: they’re not pigmented, they give me a rash, etc. I have had no problems with these shadows though. Yes,…

Make up collection: Depotted eyeshadow
A while ago I decided to depot a bunch of my single eyeshadows. I wrote a blog post about it here. I had many single eyeshadows lying about by NYX and Sephora, depotted them and put them into two Z-palettes. I nicked a few of them while depotting so excuse some of the destroyed shadows,…

Make up collection: small eyeshadow palettes
Another part of my make up stash: my small eyeshadow palettes. Next to nail polish, eyeshadow is quite possibly my favorite make up related item. So I have tons. I already showed you my MAC eyeshadow palette a while ago, and today it’s time for more eyeshadow! I will be showing you my smaller eyeshadow…

LOTD: A Different Shade of Blue
Ok. First of all, this look is not coherent. I just threw together an outfit and then randomly selected a palette to do an eyelook with, so the make up & the clothes don’t match. I don’t care though, as I don’t think make up & outfit should always match. In fact, I think that’s…

FOTD: Sugar Plum Fairy
Remember that delicious cheesecake I made over Christmas? Well the girl who originally made that cake isn’t only a great cook, but she’s even better at make up. For Christmas she made a make up look called Sugar Plum Fairy and I thought it so pretty that I wanted to remake it.Today, I suddenly had…

Make up collection: Brushes
I grew up using nothing but sponge tip applicators that came with the product to apply my make up. Ever since I became more and more interested in make up, I quickly learned that you can do so much more as long as you have the right brush to do it. You can have the…

Favorite make up products of 2011
Next up in the end of year ‘best of’ lists is make up. Many posts on here feature make up and so I have plenty of favorite make up products that I could list. However, I decided to be strict: I tried to represent every category with one product (ok, I cheated and picked two…

My new haircut & quick outfit of the day
It’s not the cut that is different, because that is something I’ve kept pretty much the same. I decided to go for a splash of color though. Something that is very trendy right now is ombre hair. I’m usually not big on trends, especially hair trends, but when I saw this ombre trend going around…

Make Up Collection: MAC eyeshadow palette
Just the other day I realized that it has been a while since I posted pictures of part of my make up collection. Today, we are moving on to my favorite make up product: eye shadows. Since I have quite a few eye shadows (I have so many that I do not want to count)…

FOTD: London Rain
I wanted to make a new outfit post, but unfortunately lighting was horrible so I’m only showing you my make up today. I decided to finally use my Catrice London palette from the City collection, which I showed you in this shopping vlog a little over a month ago. I was suddenly inspired to use…

Make Up Collection: Blushes
I already showed you all of my lip products in a few separate posts, here, here and here. This time we’ll move up the face and it’s time for blushes. Here are the ones I have, I will indicate which ones are my favorites as we go along. ***Warning*** This post is picture heavy. I’m…
