Hey girls! I'm here today with a very exciting drugstore haul! Kruidvat was having a VIP night last friday with -20% on everything (except book, but don't ask me why). I took the chance to completely go crazy and buy some products I've had my eye on for a while now. I also went a little nuts in the 'matte' liquid lipstick department. 

March Beauty Haul: Deauty, Di & Kruidvat

Can you believe it's already April? March was a very busy month but I managed to get some shop therapy every now and then. I got some things on sale at Kruidvat, received a Deauty box and splurged at Di (local drugstore). Some nail polish, cheek products, eyeshadow and lip stuff... I'm ready for Spring, bring it on!

I'm also very proud that after 4 years of blogging, I finally went Facebook official! You have follow me here. I'll be posting photos, links, new blogposts and so much more over there. Join me!

Time to Recylcle: Empties #11

I was so happy to see the products pile up in my Empties bag again: Time for another one of my favorite posts! I've done a big declutter in my make-up stash last month and threw away everything I don't use anymore/haven't used for a long time. I'm not going to show you everything, don't worry. But I'm showing the products I've used up recently and will tell you if I would repurchase them or not. 

Little Beauty Haul + Summer Small Talk

Hi there, everyone. Long time, no blogpost! I'm so excited to be able to sit down and talk to you guys. How are you all doing? How is your summer going? I've been working the last couple of weeks in amusement parc 'Plopsaland' at the sea side. After work, I'm often to tired to do anyting (except watch movies on the sofa) but today, I really wanted to blog. On one of my free days, I went to Kruidvat, our local drugstore, and decided to treat myself a bit. The result? New make-up! 

Empties 8: My Beauty Trash (May 2015)

Hey sweeties! Ready to look trough my beauty trash together? My empties bag started to look a little bit full again so I decided to do another empties post. As you know, I absolutely love reading and writing empties posts so I actually really wanted to do one, after a few months. Let's start talking and then recycling!

January 2015 Make-up Favorites

February has already begun but I still wanted to share my January favorites with you guys. I don't do these type of posts often because I feel like I'll always show the same products. I want to do these more often this year so I'll try to write them each month or maybe every two months. Let's get started on the products!

I have a mix of old favorites and new discovered items. A bit of makeup, a bit of skin/hair care. I did not include nail polishes in this post because I haven't worn a lot of nail polish this months. I gave my nails some time to be 'free'. But don't worry, I have some NOTD's coming soon ;)

December Kuidvat VIP Sale: Drugstore haul

Hey sweeties! About a week ago, the Belgian Drugstore Kruidvat was having a VIP sale night, where they stayed open late and gave a -20% discount to everything in store! My friend Ynee got a ticket from a friend who worked there. I was so excited, this was the ideal time to pick up some thing I needed and to try out some new thing at a discount!

Product Empties: July 2014

Oh, that feeling you get when you finish up a product. I've been collecting my empties for a very long time now - So much stuff was almost empty at the same time! - and I can finally write this. It's going to be a long one, so you know what to do: get a snack and something to drink and ENJOY.

May/June Favorites

Hello, sweeties! Today, I'm doing a favorites post for May AND June. I didn't do a favorites post last month because I didn't have a lot of new favorites to show you. There was only 1 product I really loved that month (more about that later). Same for June, but I was able to find some products to write this post. I just don't want to show you guys the same blush/concealer/mascara/shampoo each month. So these are the products that really stood out to me the last two months.

April Favorites 2014

April has flown by and summer is getting closer and closer. I skipped my March favorites this year because there wasn't a lot of difference with my February favorites. But in april, I discovered some new stuff (mostly hair stuff and blushes) so let's get started!

Essence Cookies & Cream Collection: Jumbo Eyepencils

Hi sweeties! Today I'm showing you the two jumbo eye pencils from the Essence limited edition Cookies & Cream collection. I already showed you a nail polish from this collection, but I also picked up the two jumbo eyepencils. I liked these more than the regular eyeshadows.

There are two jumbo eyepencils in this collection:

• Last night a Cookie Saved My Life: a reddish brown color
• Yummy, Yummy!: grey taupe

December 2013 Beauty Favorites

Hello everybody! It's the end of the month again and that means: time for favorites! This month, I don't have a lot of favorites, but I used a few new products a lot this month so I have some stuff to show you guys.

The Lipstick Tag!

Hello lovely ladies! Time for another tag! Today, I'm doing 'The Lipstick Tag'.Like Gwyneth Paltrow once said: 'Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.' One of the first things you think about when the word 'makeup' comes up, is lipstick. I love lipstick so much, so when I saw this tag, quite a while ago, on Sanja's blog, I knew I had to do it some day.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

How many lipsticks do you own?
I counted them all as best as I can and I think I have about 35 to 40 lipsticks (lip glosses not included). When I counted them, I was surprised because I thought I had a whole lot more! I'm not sure about the correct number because it is possible that a few lipsticks are hiding in a handbag or somewhere else in my room.

What was your first ever lipstick?
The first lipstick I ever bought was a very light pink and frosty lipstick by Hema. It's didn't look good on me at all and I haven't worn it a lot, to be honest :p 

Kruidvat Haul: Sale items and Repurchases!

Hello everybody! Today, I took a little trip to Kruidvat. Kruidvat is one of the popular drugstore chains here in Belgium. I went there just to repurchase some of my favorite products and of course, I got sucked in and bought some sale items...So I wanted to show you guys my purchases now, I could'nt wait until tomorrow!

Summer of Bloggin', July 21: My Current Summer Favorites!

Hello girls! We are halfway July and I wanted to show you my current favorite products to use. I've never done a 'favorites' post, but I wanted to start with this one. July is not over but I know I won't be using other products because I've reached for this almost every day now, unless I'm not wearing any makeup. It's very hot here in Belgium now, so I like to keep it simple.

Discontinued Products That Need To Be Back!

Hey everyone, today I wanted to do a blogpost about some products that I really like. The only downside on these products is: They are discontinued or the brands are no longer available in Belgium. I'm doing this blog post because I really like these products, but I feel like I can't do a separate review on them, because they aren't available anymore.

'I hate cosmetics companies. They get you addicted to the perfect lipstick or nail polish and then, six months later, they discontinue it. You have to buy your favorite colors like you're storing up for the Apocalypse.'
- P.S. I Love You 

This quote pretty much explains it all.

You will notice that a lot of these products are from Eyeko. Eyeko is an awesome that makes on of the best liquid liners out there. But their nail polishes and pencil liners are great as well. BUT... about two of three years ago they completely discontinued their whole makeup line and now, they only make liquid liners and mascaras. I can't even begin to describe how disappointed I was. I have found a website of a Belgian beauty store, Beauty Queen, where they still sell some of the Eyeko products. Maybe I should stock up?

1. Essence Multi Colour Blushes in 'How Cute Is That?' and 'Fashionista'.
These are not the most pigmented blushes I own, but they are gorgeous. I like the 'How Cute Is That?' one for a daytime neutral cheek, 'Fashionista' is also a nice neutral pink, but also perfect for going out.
2. Eyeko Cherry Fat Balm
You can use this as a blush or a lipstick. It's a gorgeous berry color and it smells like sweet cherries.

3. Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in 'Ruthless'
One of my favorite eyeshadows ever! Soft, pigmented and creamy. Everything we look for in a good eyeshadow. Urban Decay doesn't sell this type of eyeshadow anymore, too bad :(

4. Eyeko Graffity Eyeliner in Black
Pigmented. Black. Lasts all day. Great. The best liner ever.  I've noticed this is drying up a little bit. Why, Eyeko? Just why?

5. Eyeko Line & Shine Duo Colour Pencil in 'Electric Purple/Plum' and 'Electric Blue/Teal'
The Plum side is my very very very very favorite everyday eyeliner. The other colors are so fun and bright for when you want to do a look with a pop of color.

6. Wet 'n Wild
They used to sell Wet 'n Wild in Di, but not anymore. The last couple of years, I've been hearing so much about this brand and I want to try out so much stuff. I have 2 palettes: This one on the photo and a neutral one. They are very old and I don't know their names. I love the texture of the shadows and I'd like to try out more.
7. Eyeko Nail Polishes in 'Tea Rose Polish' and 'Chichi Polish'
Eyeko had great polishes. They are pretty much opaque in one coat, why would they discontinue fantastic polishes like that?

 

So tell me, what product(s) do you LOVE, but aren't available anymore?
