Hey ladies! I recently got back from a trip to Italy with my boyfriend. We did a tour through Tuscany and visited Lucca, Firenze, Arezzo, Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. Italy is the land of Kiko, you can find them in every city! Also, you can find Sephora in most of the cities! I picked up a few things from Kiko, Sephora and a local supermarket.

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. 

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Review and Swatches

Hey beauties, let's do a review on an amazing eyeshadow palette today. As a big chocolate lover, I knew I had to have this palette. It was sold out in Paris last summer at all the Sephora stores, but I found it in Lille in the beginning of February. I'm talking about the Too Faced Chocolate Bar. There has been so much buzz about this beauty and I'm a sucker for nude palettes, so it had to be welcomed into my collection.

Let's talk about the packaging first. How cute does this look? Like the Naked 2 and Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay, this has a tin packaging, but with a magnetic close. It's shaped like a chocalate bar and looks delicious! But it does not only look delicious, the 16 eyeshadows included in this palette also smell delicious... as they are enriched with pure cocoa powder. And YES, that smells as good as it sounds. I sometimes just open this palette to smell the heavenly chocolate scent.

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!

Too Faced Eye Love Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm showing you guys a gorgeous eyeshadow palette by Too Faced Cosmetics. If you know Too Faced, you probably know about all of their beautiful eyeshadow palettes, like the Natural Eye palette, the Romantic Eye palette and others. So when I went to Sephora, about a year ago, I couldn't decide between all the palettes. But then I saw this: the Eye Love Palette, which contains eight beautiful eyeshadows.

The packaging is pretty and I like that the palette is not too thick. The original palettes are gigantic, which makes them not practical to take on a trip. This palette is thin, so it takes very little space in your makeup bag.

This Palette contains two shadows from the Natural Eye palette (Heaven and Push-up), two from the Smokey Eye palette (Silver Spoon and Smolder), two from the Naked Eye palette (Satin Sheets and Like a Virgin) and two from the Romantic Eye palette (Honeymoon and Ever After). You also get instructions on how to use the eyeshadow to create the perfect look.

With this palette, you can create beautiful looks, for day and night.

                     Swatches: 1st row: Heaven, Silver Spoon, Satin Sheets, Honeymoon
                     2nd row: Push-up, Smolder, Like a Virgin, Ever After

All of these eyeshadows are so softly and pigmented. They glide on the skin and are so beautiful. This palette is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't know how to chose between four palettes ;)

This Palette is available at Sephora.

Do you like the Too Faced palettes?
