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?

Project Pan Update + December Empties!

Some of you might be wondering how everything is going with my Project '6 months' Pan. In November, I decided to stop buying makeup products for six months, so I had the chance to use up products in my collection and remove them. 

At first, I thought this was going to be easy. When I go shopping, I don't go into stores like Kruidvat or Di. Those are the Belgian drugstores, where they sell a lot of makeup. I just ignore stores like that. BUT being at home, on a computer, I get tempted to go on websites and see al the sales going on or new products coming out (Asos, I'm looking at you). This makes it harder. But I'm still motivated to go on and not purchase anything. 

I already have a few empties as well! These are products that were already almost empty when I started, but hey, they still count as empties! I already threw them out, so I went online to find pictures to show to you guys.

  
1) Maybelline The Falsies Mascara: At first I didn't like this one. It was very wet and it clumped on my lashes. But after a while, the formula dried up a bit and I loved it! It seperates and lengtens the lashes. I am going to miss this mascara and I might repurchase it ;)

2) Bourjois Gentle Eye Makeup Remover: My favorite remover of all time! It gets everything off without any problem and does not leave a greasy feeling on the face. This is the third bottle I used up and I always repurchase it. I just love it!

3) Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer: I saw a review on this by Amarixe and MissGlamorazzi on Youtube so I decided to try this out and it was fantastic! It covers up dark circles very good and it blends easily into the skin.

4) Nivea Calm&Care Deodorant: If you're looking for a deodorant that doesn't irritate your skin after shaving and smells nice and fresh, you'll love this. The smells stays a long time, but is not overpowering. I use this everyday and after shaving and it doesn't irritate my skin. Very very great deodorant!





That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you are having a Project Pan going on, tell me all about it! What products have you used up?

Yves Rocher Expert Réparation Body Lotion Review

Hello everybody, I wish you all a happy newyear! I hope this year will be fantastic for everyone. Today I'm showing you my favorite body lotion ever: the Yves Rocher Expert Repair Lotion for extra dry skin. I bought this in may, when I recieved another card from Yves Rocher. I had -50% on a few products by choice and I decided to chose this one. I never thought I would love this so much!

 

This is a soft, moisturizing cream infused with shea butter that doesn't leave a greasy feeling on your skin. I usually use it after a shower or when my skin needs that little something more . It sinks in to the skin very quickly, which I like a lot. It also has an amazing scent that stays for a while.It keeps the skin very soft. I use often on my arms, because they can get really dry.

I like the product, I like the scent and I will definitely repurchase this (after my project pan)! I just love it! ;)

What's your favorite body lotion?

Essie No Chips Ahead Top Coat Review

Hello again everyone! Another Blog post today about the Essie No Chips Ahead Top Coat. I got this in September, at the Brussels airport. It came for free with an exclusive airport set of three bestselling Essie polishes (Mademoiselle, Chinchilly and All Lacquered up).

Where do I begin? First of all, I don't think the little brush is that practical. Most of the Essie nail polishes have these thick brushes, that make it easy to paint your nails. This one has a very thin one and I don't like that at all. The formulation is very runny and takes a long time to dry, something I do not have patience for.  
And than we have the fact that I don't think it actually does something on my nails. As most of you, I do not like chipped nail polishes and this did not help with that. I'm glad it came for free in that nail polish set because I don't think I will ever repurchase this. I will use it up but only because of my project pan ;)

I'm not sure how much this Top coat costs, but I think it's around €10,99. I think that's a lot of money for a top coat that doens't really work that well, in my opinion.

Have you used this top coat? What did you think of it? 
Or do you have another (better) one?
Let me know ;)

Yves Rocher Correction Shine and Fill Base Coat Review

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk to you guys about the Yves Rocher Correction Shine and Fill Base Coat. I bought this about three months ago, when I realised that I actually never really used a basecoat that much and I wanted to get one that would also fill in the ridges of my nails.

 
I won't say this is a fantastic base coat, but it does the job. I'm using it to protect my nails against discoloration, because I like to use darker nail colours in the winter.
It dries quickly and leaves a matte finish on the nails. It doesn't fill in the ridges on my nails that well, but I don't mind. I'll use this up but then I'll start looking for a better base coat :)

You can get this base coat in the Yves Rocher stores for €6,95 but if you get the Yves Rocher News Letters in your mail (the cards that they send every few months with coupons and free gifts with purchase), you can easily get this with 50% off, like I did.

What base coat do you use?
