Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Review & Swatches

Monday, May 1, 2017

Hallo lovely ladies, today I want to talk about the Bourjous Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks. These are probably one of my favorite lip products out there. I own three of the current collection and I like them all very much. 


Nail of the Day: Studded Manicure with Essie 'Style Cartel'

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Hey everybody, time for another manicure! Today, I cleaned out my nail polish drawer. I found these gorgeous golden studs and a dark blue Essie color. I decided to get a bit creative and treat myself to a rock 'n roll manicure. 



Nail of the Day: Essie 'Spin The Bottle'

Monday, March 20, 2017

Hello everyone! Time for another NOTD. Last week, when I visited Kruidvat, they had a huge bin of Essie colors -50% off. I looked around for a bit and found this gorgeous color called 'Spin The Bottle'. I think this color was part of the 2014 Spring collection, but I'm not sure. 

NYX Matte Lip Cream First Impressions

Friday, July 1, 2016

NYX cosmetics has opened its first store here in Belgium and I couldn't be more excited. It opened on the 23rd of June, but I was still on vacation then. I heard people waited in line to get in for three hours (!!). I had to be in Ghent Wednesday so I decided to take a look at what the store had to offer. I went in with one goal: finally pick up some Soft Matte Lip Creams. So I did! This is a first impressions post, to show you girls which colors I got, how they look and what I think about them so far.


H&M Beauty: Review and Swatches

Monday, June 13, 2016

As a lot of you may know, H&M has recently brought out a FANTASTIC new beauty line. About two weeks ago, they were having a 'buy 2, get 1 free' sale. I bought some stuff and now, I'm completely hooked. I got a lipstick, a blush and a velvet lip cream. A week later, I went back to get another lipstick. In this post, I'll be showing swatches of everything. 


I got the following products: 
- Velvet Lip Cream in 'Le Beau Monde'
- Pure Radiance Powder Blush in 'Pink Peach'
- Cream Lip Color in 'Siena Piazza' and 'Penny Red'


Kiko Clics System: Review & Swatches!

Sunday, March 22, 2015

Happy Sunday everyone! How is your weekend going? Today, I wanted to talk about the Kiko Clics System. Just like the Inglot Freedom System and with MAC palettes, you can now buy seperate palettes at Kiko and fill them up with the colors you want! This way, you can make your own perfect palette. When I visited Kiko in February, everything from the Clics system was -50%. So I decided to put together a palette for myself!

I decided to pick up a palette for 4 eyeshadows. You can pick up a palette for 1, 3, 4 of 24 colors. The palettes are quite cheap, the one for 4 colors is 2,50€. The most expensive one for 24 colors is 6€. They have a wide variety of eyeshadows, bright as well as neutral colors. The eyeshadows are 2,40€ each. It wasn't easy to choose from all the colors, but I managed to find 4 lovely colors.

Nail of the Day: Essie Splash of Grenadine

Thursday, February 19, 2015

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? The sun has come out here in Belgium for a couple of days and that means: time to paint the nails in a nice spring color! I chose 'Splash of Grenadine' today by Essie today. I saw this on Essiebutton's blog and loved how it looked. This color has been sold out a few times in the drugstores but I was very happy to have found it.


Kiko Top Pairs Duo Blushes in '02 Raspberry Rose & Peach' and '03 Rosewood & Azalea' Review

Saturday, February 14, 2015

Happy Valentine's day, sweeties! How are you guys spending the day? I'm going to watch 50 Shades of Grey later tonight! But for now, I want to talk about some amazing blushes from Kiko. I went to Lille last week and they have a few Kiko stores there. I wanted to find the duo blushes from last season's 'Daring Game' collection. I did find them AND they were on sale. They still had two color pairs available.

I saw these blushes on lots of blogs a few months ago and I just loved the packaging. It's a pearl white compact with hot pink metallic print on it. Gorgeous! It's quite a big compact so it will take some place in your make-up bag. But waw, they are just so beautiful!

NOTD: Neutral glitter with OPI 'My Very First Knockwurst' and Maybelline 'Rose Chic'

Sunday, February 8, 2015

Hey sweeties! How is your sunday going? I'm back today with an NOTD. I was in Lille this week for some shopping and I got this lovely nude OPI nail polish called 'My Very First Knockwurst'. It was from the Germany collection a few years ago. I don't think it's available in Belgium anymore so I was happy to find it. I also picked up Maybelline's Rosy Gold, from the Crystallize collection.

Revlon Colorstay Nail Polish Haul + Review

Saturday, January 24, 2015

It has been 25 days since my last blogpost. 25! God, I've missed you guys! How is everyone doing? I've been studying like crazy the last couple of weeks. I had exams this week and I made a pact with my friends: start studying at 8AM, stop at 9PM. It has been hard and boring at times, but it was all worth it: my exams went quite well! Now, FINALLY time to blog again! Let's talk about something very fun today: nail polish!


Earlier today, I went to a store called 'Action', where you can buy all sorts of things for a very cheap price. From cleaning goods, school stuff, food and (the best part, ofcourse): beauty stuff! I went through the boxes of nail polish on the bottom shelves. I wasn't that impressed at first, because they mostly had Sally Hanssen glitter polishes. Suddenly, I saw a Revlon Colorstay nail polish in my hand. My jaw dropped. You can't find these ANYWHERE here in Belgium, and suddenly they were here at Action? I looked further (I literally sat on my knees in the store and looked trough all the boxes) and found another bunch of them. In total, I got 6 colors. But the best part is: these were €0,99 a piece.

Nail of the Day: Chanel 'Rouge Noir'

Monday, November 24, 2014

Hello lovely ladies! I'm back today with a review on a real cult classic... Chanel's Rouge Noir nail polish. Uma Thurman made this polish infamous when she wore it in the movie 'Pulp Fiction'. I got a coupon for -20% off everything at a parfum and makeup store and I knew I had to pick this one up. I've been looking at it for so long and I'm really into dark, vampy nails lately.


This is my first Chanel nail polish ever and I was very excited to pick it up at a discount. The bottle is so simple and sleek but looks classic and timeless. Chanel knows what they are doing.

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in 'Naked' and 'Rapture' Review

Thursday, August 14, 2014

Hello, darlings! Today I'm back with a review on two lipsticks I picked up when I was in Paris in June. These are the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks. There was a lot of commotion around these when they just came out, because UD had improved the formula and packaging and they are supposed to be quite amazing.


I picked up two colors:

  • Naked: A nice pink nude. This is a perfect nude to me because it's one or two shades lighter than my lips. So it's not too pale and therefore it does not make me look sick.
  • Rapture: This is a berry rose color. It looks quite dark and vampy on me when I layer too much on, so I think it's best for me to use this color lightly and with caution. It's a perfect fall color though. 

MUA Mosaic Blush in 'English Rose' Review

Saturday, April 19, 2014

MUA (Make Up Academy) has officially arrived in Belgium and the Netherlands. The complete range is now available at Kruidvat. A few days ago, I went to Kruidvat and when I saw the chelfs, I almost screamed. I looked at the products but I didn't feel the need to pick anything up. I think most of the eyeshadow palettes were sold out because there were a few types left. But then I saw the Mosaic Blush in 'English Rose'.

MUA is a British makeup brand that is very affordable. It had beautiful eyeshadow palettes (a few of which are exact dupes for the UD Naked palettes), lipsticks, blushes, mascaras, nail polishes... I suggest you look up product reviews before you pick up something because some products are better and more pigmented than others.

Nail of the Day: Rimmel Space Dust in 'Aurora'

Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Hello, sweeties! Rimmel's Holiday collection has finally arrived here in Belgium! I've been looking forward for this collection for weeks now. Ever since I saw photos of the Space Dust nail polishes, I know I had to get my hands on 'Aurora'. They had a few other beautiful colors, but this one was my favorite!

This polish is one of the 'Liquid sand' type polishes. It's very interesting because this is a gritty glittery polish, that looks quite matte at the same time. I love this kind of polishes. But if you don't like the texturised feeling on your nails, this might not be something for you.

Nail of the Day: Essie 'Parka Perfect' Swatch + Review

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

Hello girls, today I'm back with another NOTD. Last week, there was a sale on Essie nail polishes in the drugstore: buy 1, get 1 half off. This opportunity is very rare, so I bought two. I reviewed the first one, 'The lace is on', last week. Today, I'm showing you a color from the winter collection: 'Parka Perfect'.


Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Vintage Pink' Review

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Hello Sweeties! Today I wanted to show you guys the new Moisure Renew Lipstick by Rimmel. I got this in the color 'Vintage Pink'. I've heard that Rimmel has given these lipsticks a complete makeover: new packaging, new formula and new, beautiful colors.


Nail of the Day: Halloween Edition: Bloody Nails!

Tuesday, October 29, 2013

Hello, my lovely readers! It's almost halloween and I was feeling a little bit in the mood for some nail art today. I used to be really into (easy) nail art a couple of years back. When I saw all the halloween tutorials on youtube, I really wanted to do a look as well. This is a look that I've seen a lot of people do, but it looks really cool and it's not hard at all! ;)



Nail of the Day: OPI 'Peace&Love&OPI' Swatch and Review

Sunday, October 6, 2013

Good afternoon, my girls! Let's talk about 'Peace&Love&OPI' from the new O.P.I. San Francisco collection. This is the only color I picked up from this collection and for me, it's also one of the more unique colors. It's a gunmetal grey color with a purple and green duochrome to it.


Barry M Lip Paint in 'Touch Of Magic': Coolest Lipstick ever!

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Like I said in my London Haul, the Barry M Lip Paint in 'Touch of Magic' is something very special. It's a bright 'Kermit the frog'-green color. Can you imagine walking around with lips like that? But don't worry, this is not the color that will appear on your lips.
