Travel Bag

Hi everyone,

This really is my last blog until I’m back from holiday. My adventure has actually started already and I’m already on my way…. but I wanted to finish this before I relaxed completely.

I’m going to England for about a week and I’m bringing only handluggage. Now I’ve chosen a sportsbag by Fila because it’s the right size and has handy compartments.

Because I’m using this and only this bag, I’ve been thinking a lot about my fluids to bring with me. I haven’t flown since 9/11 and with all the restrictions it’s getting difficult to pack only handluggage.

I’ll talk you through my fluids first. You can bring max. 10 products of max. 100 ml in a 1 litre ziplock bag. So that meant figuring out what’s a fluid and apparently creams are fluids too so that includes toothpaste and balms and lipgloss and mascara ARGH!!! How am I going to do this? Well, like this:

Let me tell you about what I’m bringing fluid wise:

Basic face products (video & blog) (part 5 of 5)


The products I mention this video are:

- Smashbox – Cream Eyeline Palette (this one is no longer available, but the mini version is, that is sold in a metallic and a cream version). Great as an eyeliner, but you can also use this as a base underneath shadow.

- Make Up For Ever – 12 Flash Color Case
This is great as a base, for more funky looks, I’ve used this for Halloween looks, it can also be used as lipcolour. This is muli-use and amazing.

- Benefit – HighBrow
A great highlighter on the browbone, but Continue reading

Basic face products (video & blog) (part 1 of 5)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to tell my friend a lot about primers, concealers, tinted moisturizers, etc etc. so I started this video and it became two because I have a lot to talk about. I finished the video with a makeup look but after 15 minutes my camera automatically stops recording…. ARGH!!! So for the finished look, I took pictures at the end. When adding the product information and checking if I don’t look like a complete rambling idiot I found out that a HUGE part of the video was missing, so I reshot part 2 butttt not the makeup look, so I’ll explain the look and show you pictures at the and of this post (part 2 of the video is coming later today). When retaping the second part I actually talked so much more that I now have a set of 5 video’s and a 2 part brush video (incl. eyeliner tutorial) to show you soooo…. get some tea (I’m drinking a cup of tea whilst writing this), get some snacks, get comfortable and I hope you don’t fall asleep halfway through ;)

All products were paid by me or bought for me. No sponsoring or anything of that sort in these video’s this is just me, my favourite products and my opinion.


The products I mention are:

Amore Pacific  - Treatment enzyme peel
I used this because Continue reading

Video of a quick pop of colour under the eye

Here is another quick video for you guys.

So here is installment 2 of the set I’m recording for my friend. Sorry I go out of frame occasionally, I’m new at this.

I’m wearing Rated Holographic by China Glaze on my nails.

I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion in the colour Sin. I used a Bourjois Cafe & Cream pencil (the cream side) on my lower lashline to brighten it.
Next I used an Urban Decay Shadow brush to apply Sin (from an Urban Decay Palette) on the lid of my eyes up to the crease (and blended it softly by turning the brush a quarter). This gives a shimmery finish to the eyes.
I used an amazing blue Aqua Eyes eyeliner pencil by Make Up For Ever in the colour 15L on my bottom lashline and smudged it with a Smashbox smudger brush. I set this with a MAC duochrome loose pigment in the colour cornflower (make sure to tap of the excess before applying to prevent fallout). Smudge this as low as you like, my rule of thumb is that I don’t go lower then my lower lashes are if I look straight, no lower, this time I went halfway down I guess. I then curled my lashes with my Shu Uemura eyelash curler and used Rimmel Sexy Curves in black as my mascara on top and a light layer on the bottom lashes.
On my lips I used a pink gloss by Smashbox and I quickly contoured under my cheekbones with a Chanel Bronze Universel cream bronzer and an Illamasqua synthetic brush (cream works better on synthetic brushes). I also went under the jawbone and up to the temples to slim my face a little.

Bourjois Diner a Paris 37

Hi everyone,

This is a deep burgundy red, it’s like you dipped your nails in a red wine. So amazing. This polish applies like a dream (only 2 coats are on my nails) and dries perfectly even without a topcoat. I could wear it for 4 days. The only downside is the removal, it stained my nails (I do have a basecoat under this polish) and my cuticles.
