Simple makeup looks (same principle, different colours)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to show you how you can alter a quick and easy look to make it seem like a different look when it’s basically the same.

This look is very simple, you place a gold shade (Urban Decay – Half Baked) on the lid and use a slightly darker gold (Urban Decay – Baked) in the crease, blend this well. You then use the lighter gold (Half Baked) on the inner corner of the lower lashline and (darker gold) Half Baked on the outer corner of the lower lashline. The pop of turquoise colour (Urban Decay – Shattered) on the middle of the lower lashline adds a summery edge to the look.

To define the eye a little more but keep it light you shouldn’t take a hard black, but a warm tinted brown eyeliner pencil (Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eyeliner Pencil – Bourbon) to line the waterline and define the eye some more.

As a mascara I used the YSL – Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking in black. This mascara is impressing me ever so slightly, why you might ask? Well, because even though it isn’t waterproof, it does hold up to a little rain, but taking it off doesn’t require a lot of rubbing even with a not amazing makeup remover.

For the next look I used Continue reading

Yves Saint Laurent – Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking

Hi everyone,

I did this bright makeup because I felt like adding colour after the many browns and neutrals of the last few months if I even wore any makeup at all.

When I did this look I immediately had the plan of testing this Yves Saint Laurent – Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking (6,4 ml = €30,48) that was in my April GlossyBox. I started today to see if my curl would fall, which it didn’t :D .

I’ll do water testing and tell you guys about removal and how it lasts etc etc in the next coming month. But first here are the pictures of the mascara on my lashes today when I first applied it:

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

Glossybox April 2012 unboxing (incl. video)

Hi everyone,

I got this Glossybox yesterday and I am really excited about at least two of the products but I will tell you more about all the products here under the video because this time I filmed the actual unboxing and that means I had no opinion on some of the new products yet. If you like my old version of the unboxings (having opened it before but “reopening” it on camera and knowing more about the products so I can tell you more about them) let me know in the comments so I’ll do the following unboxings in the way you guys enjoy best.

For more information on GlossyBox in the Netherlands visit: www.glossybox.nl

The following products were in this box (all prices are for fullsize products): Continue reading
