The Empties-bag in my bathroom started looking a bit full again so I decided it was time for my favorite blogpost again! This time, a lot of mascara is included because I cleaned out my mascara box and decided it was time to toss a lot of them out. Other than that: face products, hand products, deodorants. I say we get started on recycling!

Paris Haul: Beauty & Skin Care

Hi sweeties! Today, I'm showing you all the beauty stuff that I got in Paris. I mostly went to Sephora and I got some stuff in a Pharmacy and one thing at Monoprix. I really wanted to buy the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette, but it was sold out everywhere. I went to three Sephoras and one girl who worked there said it was sold out in all the Sephoras in France. Too bad, but I found some other fun things.

This will be a long blogpost, so get yourself a snack and something to drink, sit back, relax and have fun reading ;)

The best part of the haul is that EVERYTHING was -20% at Sephora! (Also on the website)They were having some kind of June sale. 

January Favorites 2014: Beauty and more!

Hello everybody! Today I'm talking about my january favorites. It's the first month of 2014 and it has gone by so quickly... It was not a very exciting month, I had exams at school, like most of you guys had as well. So my makeup had to be quick and easy this month! I have a few favorites to show you, and a lot of them are new ones. So let's get started!

Favorite shower products?
I've been loving my Cranberry Joy Body Polish from the body shop. Their body polishes are amazing! They exfoliate the skin in a gentle way, but makes it very soft! Put your favorite body lotion on top on you'll have soft, irresistible skin.
I've also been loving the Yves Rocher Cocoa-Orange shower gel, which smells like Jaffa/Pim's Cakes. When I smelled this, I immediately went back to the store to buy another bottle.
Nivea Straight&Gloss shampoo is an all-time favorite of mine. Even when I don't include it in a favorites post, you can just be sure that is was a favorite because it's the only shampoo I use. I always go back to this one when I try out something else. It makes my hair soft and not frizzy.

Benefit 'The Bronze of Champions' Palette review + swatches

Hello everybody! Today I'm showing you the Benefit palette I got a few weeks ago in Lille. This is the 'Bronze of Champions' kit for eyes, lips and cheeks. This kit contains 'a good source of goddess glow'. I've been eyeing this palette for a while now, so I finally decided to pick it up. And I'm happy I did!

Beauty Haul: Kiko, Sephora and more!

Haaaa, the first blogpost of 2014! I hope you all had a festive New Year's Eve! A week ago, I went to the French city Lille and I did some shopping there! I went to Sephora, Kiko and I also bought some stuff in the beauty section of a supermarket.

Firstly, I went to Kiko and I bought one of the Kiss Balms. This are described as 'A nourishing treatment with a full-bodied texture that unites lip care and vibrant colour with the pleasure of delicate fruit aromas'. I got the color 'Blackberry' and I love it. It feels very soft and moisturizing on the lips and it is quite pigmented for a lip balm.

November Favorites 2013

Hey everyone! Today, I'm doing my first 'favorites' blogpost ever! I never did one of these blogposts ever, but I'm not sure why. So I decided to start this month! November has flown by so fast, I can't believe it's already december! 2014 is coming closer! I have 10 makeup products to share with you, let's get to it! ;)

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.

Summer of Bloggin', July 4: Benefit Most Glamorous Nudes Ever Swatches and Review

Hi girls. To all my American readers, I want to say: Happy 4th of July! Today I'm here with a review of the Benefit World Famous Neutrals- Most Glamorous Nudes Ever Palette. This is available in Belgium now and when I say it at INNO, I just had to have one.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow In 'Birthday Suit' Swatch + Review

Hey everyone! Today I'm back with a review on the Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in 'Birthday Suit'. This is a light metallic, soft goldish colour that I bought this a few months ago in a Sephora in Paris. These are supposed to be a cream eyeshadow/liner that stays put on your lids all day!

I really like Benefit packaging! It's always so cute! This is a glass container with a black lid with birds on it. I think it's beautiful, but practicalas well.

This is a beautiful, creamy eyeshadow, perfect as an all-over-the-lid colour or as a base for other shadows. BUT for me, it's not creaseless. I always have to use a good primer to make sure my (cream)eyeshadow doesn't crease troughout the day, also when I use this kind of eyeshadows. So yes, I like this a lot. I just to do the extra effort to put on my Too Faced Shadow Insurance underneath this.

Do you like cream eyeshadows? What's your favorite?
