30 Day Make Up Challenge: #1 Nude
My friend Karin from Meerbeauty.nl embarked on the 30 day make up challenge when she first started her blog. She had so much fun doing it that she recommended I do it too. And I figured that wouldn’t be a bad idea. Much like her, I will not be posting 30 solid days of make…

It’s time for another personal post again. And today I will be giving you a peek into my life by showing you a few pictures from my Instagram from the past 3 months or so. I’m not a very fervant photo taker and especially now that I’ve gone back to work I have little time…

Happy 4th blog anniversary!
Today is the day! September 4th 2010 was the first day my blog went live. I knew nothing about blogging, had never done it before and had no idea what to do. Here we are 4 years later and still going strong. And what a ride it’s been. Earlier this year I finally decided what…

My MAC blushes & MSFs
When it comes to make up brands, MAC is one of my favorites. I love their lipsticks and eyeshadows. What I’ve tried from their face products has also been right on the money. But one item from MAC’s line is not something I get drawn to when I enter a MAC store. It’s their blushes…

Colorful make up look for summer
Apart from colorful nails, I like wearing colorful make up looks from time to time. Especially summer time calls for brighter, bolder colors on the eyes. I love going for greens, blues and purples. My favorite palette to use for adding some pop of color is one of my Inglot palettes and so I used…

Favorite make up tutorials
I stopped watching TV years ago. Instead, I’ve found myself more online, reading books or watching television series. However, one of my favorite past times is watching youtube videos. Some of my favorite videos are well executed make up tutorials and I thought it would be nice to share with you some of my favorite…

Catrice All Matt Plus foundation
The item in my budget make up shoplog I was most curious about, was the Catrice All Matt Plus foundation in 010 Light Beige. Since the end of last year I’ve been on a foundation trial kick. I already tried a Dior one and a L’Oreal one, but nothing super duper budget proof. I had…

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 in over 20 different shades…

Monthly favorites (January 2014)
Last day of the month, so time for favorites! This month isn’t gonna go into the list of favorite January of all time. Overall, this month just sucked as I realized that I am a bit worse for wear than I had expected. I am still on the road to recovery and do what I…

After it having been released 3x, I now finally got my hands on the much coveted RiRi Woo lipstick from the special collection MAC released in collaboration with Rihanna. By now the entire collection has sold out online again and I was lucky enough to be online when the collection launched and snatched one up.…

214 of 2014
The last day of the year and so it’s time to reflect. Reflect on the year that was. That for me, was a year filled with many ups and many downs. But like they say: every cloud has a silver lining. So I worked through my very crappy first half of the year and found…

Why dance is important to me
One thing I’m still working on in my journey to making a full recovery from my burn out earlier this year, is my fitness level. Being burned out leaves you incapacitated most of the time and thus regular workouts aren’t something you’re willing to waste your energy on. However, no matter how bad I felt…

London travels: the report
You have seen the shoplogs (here and here), but of course I did a little more than just shop. Although I’m sure that if you go through those two posts you might have thought I didn’t. Nothing could be less true though. Apart from shopping my tail off, I spent 4 blissful days in London,…

Plastic Free Tuesday
Do you know what day is today? It’s Plastic Free Tuesday! When my college friend Annemieke asked me to participate in a worldwide movement to create awareness for the amount of plastic in the world and hopefully minimize the impact of plastic to our environment, I didn’t hesitate and said yes. The challenge? Do not…

213 of 2013
So last year, I decided to look back on the year that was, by summing up 212 facts. I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. But since it’s a year later, I changed the number to 213. Let’s look back at 2013! 2013 was the year I graduated for my Research Master’s in…

Blog Challenge Day 18: What’s in my make up bag?
I don’t have a make up bag. I do have make up though. I only use a make up bag when I’m traveling. Other than that, I have it all neatly stored in my room, because too much make up to fit into a make up bag. So I assemble a make up bag, whenever…

Song Challenge 01 – Your favorite song
I already posted about my favorite song when I did the 30 Day Blog Challenge. I picked Mesh 29’s Over the Barricade. This is still my favorite song, but since I have tons of favorite songs it certainly doesn’t end there. It’s actually the reason why I decided to post songs of the day. When…

London Days 6, 7 & 8
After 5 days of touristy things and some sightseeing, my final days in London would be spent shopping. My friend left London in the middle of the night to catch a flight to Italy. That gave me plenty of time to scour the town for make up, clothes and of course, shoes. I arrived at…

Current favorite songs
Ever since I started doing the 30 Day Song Challenge I haven’t really been posting anything on my current favorite songs or what I’m listening to right now. That is why I thought it would be time to give you 10 songs that I’m loving right now. Mind you, these songs are completely random and…

Seven Deadly Sins Challenge
I found this challenge on several blogs and thought it would be interesting. It’s a lot shorter than any of the 30-day ones. This one only has 7 topics: Day 1 – Vanity: Seven great things about yourself. Day 2 – Gluttony: Seven guilty pleasures. Day 3 – Avarice (Greed): Seven worldly material desires. Day 4…
