FOTD: Yellow Submagreen
Remember how I showed you some new Catrice & Essence products a few days ago? Well here’s the look I created with some of those new products. This look focuses mainly on the eyes, but I really liked the overall look and feel of it. It has a bit of color, but it’s still very…

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…

Favorites of 2013: Make up
Today is the last day in my favorites of 2013 series. And it’s devoted to one of my biggest obsessions: make up. I think, when push comes to shove, I like make up the most. I like trying out new things, wearing different colors and I never wear the same make up look twice. I…

Collective beauty & make up shoplog (Spring 2013)
Hold up. Stop. Before you think I purchased all of this in one go: nah-uh. This shoplog comprises every beauty and make up related item I purchased in the course of 2.5 months. You could call it a collective spring 2013 beauty shoplog if you’d like. So don’t go thinking that I went on a…

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…

LOTD: Smokey blues
As I promised you two days ago: my hands were itching to create a make up look with my latest Inglot purchase. I decided to now only use all of the shades in my new palette, but also add some eyeliner and just go pretty much all out with different shades of blue. This is…

New In: Catrice & Essence make up
Every few months German budgetproof make up brands Essence & Catrice renew their lines to keep it fresh and up to date. So when I was in the store the other day and found the displays had just been restocked I checked it out and went home with some eyeshadow and a blush. Read on…

Updated make up collection & storage
A collection update. It was about time. The last time I showed this was almost 2 years ago and lots has changed since then. I purged quite a few sections mainly, but on the other hand, not so much has changed. I still store my make up collection in the same way and I honestly…

FOTD: Classic pin up look with a modern twist
Today’s face of the day (FOTD) is killing two birds with one stone. For one it shows you the make up look I’m wearing yesterday’s Jean Paul Gaultier inspired outfit post AND I’m showing you what the Rimmel BB cream looks like on my skin. I wrote about the Rimmel BB cream on Monday. You…

Budget make up favorites #2
Despite my love for high end brands such as MAC, Benefit, Dior and Urban Decay amongst others, I also have a lot of love for budget proof make up. So much so that I already wrote about my budget make up favorites before. Please click here to read that post. Today is a complete new…

FOTW: Make it pop!
How silly can one person be? I had wanted to post this some time during the weekend, but then I left my memory card at work so I didn’t have my pictures. Anywho: sorry about the delay. On to the programme: today’s post features a bright pop of pink. Who says you can only wear…

My make up favorites
Favorites: a funny thing. Because when do you label something as your favorite? When you use it often? If you like using it? There are many reasons why you could say something is your favorite food, song and also your favorite make up product. A favorite make up item for me is when I use…

FOTD: Blackened purple (incl. tutorial in description)
I rarely make a make up look that I feel is awesome enough to redo just to take pictures of it and show it on this blog. Last week however, it happened. I grabbed a few random eyeshadows that I had lying about and felt I should use again and voilá: this is the result.…

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…

Make Up Collection: Cream shadows & bases
This will be the last post containing the contents of my make up collection. Last year, I decided to show in detail the make up I had. By now, I have cleaned out parts of my collection and added on to it and it isn’t the same anymore as it was, but I still wanted…

Budget make up favorites #1
Quite a bit of make up I have is middle to high end brands such as MAC, NARS, Chanel, Dior, Urban Decay, etc. Even though these brands are pretty good (and some of it is still hit and miss!) there are also plenty of brands that you can find at drugstores that only cost a…

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…

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: 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…

Nail Polish Collection *Update*
I thought it was time to give you all an update on my nail polish collection. Because even though I decided not to buy any more polishes a while ago, I just can’t help myself with all those pretty colors that are being released all the time. I do have to say that I have…

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…

Video: Collective shopping haul
I thought I’d try something different again and instead of bringing you a haul post in pictures, it’s now in video. And you can watch it in HD. Only thing is that for some reason my upload got scrunched and I don’t know why. It will probably be some setting I used when publishing the…
-
Blogsale
I decided it would be time to sell some of my make up. Buying make up is a bit hit or miss sometimes and so I do have a couple of things lying about that I used only once or twice, or which I swatched and it just turned out it wasn’t right for me.…

Haul: Inglot, Zara & other make up, cosmetics and random stuff
I desperately needed a ton of things this time round, as I was running out of necessary products girls need every once in a while (usually once a month, ahem). I also wanted to go to Amsterdam to pay the MAC Pro store a visit to buy the final eyeshadows for my palette and thus…

Make Up Collection: Eyeliner, lipliner & every day things
Okay peeps, so far so good. We are almost done with the first drawer of my make up stash. Up next will be eyeshadows and I have a ton of those, so stay tuned for that. Right now we’ll focus on eyeliner, lipliner and my every day things such as mascara and eyeshadow primer. Ready?…

Budget Proof Make Up
This post is triggered by a comment Alison left last week on my post on Benefit Cosmetics. Benefit is indeed an expensive make up brand. No matter where you are located. Therefore, it is always a good idea to try and find cheaper alternatives. Drug store brands from around the globe often offer some very…

Tag: Are you a beauty addict?
I got tagged in this post by Noelle. Her tag is in Dutch, so I’ve taken the freedom to translate the questions into English and answer them here. Source: weheartit.com Which make up/ beauty product did you buy last and which product did you have to save up for? Last item I bought was probably…
