My First Lancome Try-Out

Ah - my first luxury powder. Okay, it may be a sample, but it's luxury nontheless! And yes, I didn't remove the sticker because - secretely - I love seeing that little Lancôme flower when I open up this small compact. It makes me feel special. Now, let's not get too caught up in the super-duper superficial stuff en get to the actual content.

Radiant Concealer

I've got a concealer for you today. Concealer is a product that is near and dear to my heart seeing I've always 'struggled' with redness on my cheecks. Since I've discovered it's benefits, I've never set a foot backwards and always apply it quite liberally. It's just a crucial step to get that blank canvas so I can but on my other face product. A red blush, for instance - oh, the irony.
Enough chitter-chatter though, let's talk about the Radiance Reveal Concealer by Bourjois

Infallible Foundation

Yay! Another foundation! And there are more to come because I've been hoarding some! (That rhyme action though...)
Today it's going to be all about the European version of the Infallible 24H Matte foundation by L'oréal. This one has been in my collection for quite some time now so I think it's time I tell you my thoughts about it.

I'm into The System

No, not a Nails Of The Night for this one, because it's so much more than just a nail polish. It deserves it's own post. I visited New York this summer and ofcourse I picked up way to many goodies. Including The System by Formula X, which I completed with the shade Exquisite of their The Colors nailpolishes. These were hyped some time ago, but now I finally got my hands on them and I'm not afraid to share my thoughts!

Maybelline Superstay

To stay in the 'oldies' theme, I thought I'd talk about a foundation-concealer combo I was intrigued by for a long time before picking it up. I remember swatching this foundation when it first came out - before I was truly a makeup crazy - and thinking that it felt very. Special. Now it doesn't feel as special as back then - I've gotten too used to these different consistensies - but when I saw Maybelline had an offer, I had to pick up their Superstay Better Skin foundation and the Superstay 24H Concealer.

Colourful Drama

I come to you with a product that's not a new release, but hey, why leave out products just because they aren't brand-spankin' new? I think they deserve some love to. Or at least be fairly reviewed and/or criticised. Anyway. It's all about the Maybelline Color Drama lip crayons today.

Budget And Waterproof

I'm once again bringing you a gem from the drugstore.Essence always brings a slight - maybe creepy smile when all alone in the drugstore - smile to my face when discovering new to me products, but that have actually been in their line for quite a while. Or maybe not. I don't really remember/study all the releases on the market. The new ones, ofcourse. But anyway. I picked up these Gel Eye Pencil Waterproof a while back, so keep reading if you want to know my thoughts about this formula

A Maybelline Matte

Even though we finally - kinda - are back in the season of pinks and corals - if only, I still love myself a dark red lip. I don't wear it very often, but I love the vibe it sends into the world and the edginess it adds to a look. Not to forget that you can almost skip everthing else but foudation and mascara and look extremely put together. Enough excuses as to why I'm now reviewing this Color Sensational Matte by Maybelline in the shade Divine Wine, let's get to it.

Aftershave Hype Tested

Who in this community hasn't heard of this wonder of makeup, of life and everything surrounding it? It's a 'myth' first seen, experienced and told by Nikkietutorials, who doesn't really need an introduction I guess - youtube makeup queen! - and has been hyped up so much I needed to try it out for myself. Well, I'm talking about the Nivea Men Sensitive Aftershave Balm.

A Very Special Delivery

I've been naughty, but it feels oh so good... 

By that I mean that I've spoilt myself with a little - or not so little - purchase of off Cult Beauty. Something that was announced a couple of days before it got released. Something you had to sign up for to get an email invitation. Something that contained all my dreams and desires as a beauty blogger. If you're into the beauty/makeup blogging world like I am, you just may know what I'm talking about, in which case you're practically dying of jealousy or are also a happy owner. I you don't... Well... Take a look!

Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara

Let's talk some more mascara. You know I'm addicted to the cheap kind you find in the drugtsture and does what it priomises you. At heart though, I love luxury. So I'd been eyeing up this beautiful and hyped up mascara for a while and when I was in Malaga (blog post here), I finally snatched it up to give it a go. Yes, I am talking about the Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced. High claims to live up to, right?

Last Minute Limited Editions

I'm coming to you with a small review of some limited edition goodies I bought from both Essence and Catrice, my two favourite drugstore - and most affordable - brands. Why last minute? Because it's almost no longer possible to buy these anymore. But, knowing Kruidvat in Belgium, it will probably be available longer than expected. They always seem to be a little bit behind - two to three weeks or so - with these limited edition collections. But enough chatting, let's get down to business.

Another great W7 product

Let's once again talk about a brand that is getting some real good attention on my blog this past time. Yep, it's all about W7 and their affordable, yet great products - which include some subtle dupes. I've already reviewed their Absolute Lash Mascara and Hollywood Bronze & Glow - two products I absolutely love - so now it's time to talk about their setting spray: The Fixer Face Spray.

Sheer and shine lipstick need?

Let me start this one of with a question: Why is it so hot this winter? I'm a cold weather kinda gal and it makes me sad to be able to go outside with a light jacket and a scarf that doesn't suffocate me. Then I'd be able to say how much I need some extra moisture on my lips because the icy wind has just completely parched them and BAM. Good intro. If I were to talk about moisturising lipsticks. But we're stuck with an endless autumn so I guess I'll just talk to you about these  Sheer & Shine lipsticks by Essence.

Seriously good drugstore mascara

If there's one product I review more than the others, I think I can say it's mascara. It's not just because I'm searching for the 'perfect one'. I like to try out different ones all the time to find out everything about every. single. mascara. It's one of the few products you have to change up a lot as well, so that gives me all the more reason to try out a different one each time.
I had to share this. Now let's get on with my review of the Glam & Doll Volume Mascara by Catrice.

Travel Roundup: Malaga

I think it has been about two weeks ago that I visited a friend of mine who's currently studying in Malaga, but life got in the way in the form of a stomach flu and the tiredness that comes with it and stays with for way too long. Now I'm finally coming around to post some of the pictures I took when I was visiting this sunny country - can you believe I was walking around in a shirt over there?

Maybelline's Master Sculpt

These days, with all the snacking going on, I'd like to get some contour going to minimise the puffyness that's starting to get more and more noticable. So what better time than this to test out Maybelline's Master Sculpt duo.

Some Urban Decay Purchases

Urban Decay has made it's way to Belgium! Let's just take a moment to be amazed and shocked. I mean, Who knew their eye would fall on a small country like mine? It actually was available for quite some time already, but only online or in Brussels, which I don't visit too often. So when it arrived in Antwerp... Well, you can guess the end of that sentence. I didn't pick up too much and I sure wanted to buy more, but I restrained myself from it and kept it to two items.

November Favourites 2015

Who can't believe autumn is almost over as well? It gives me some bittersweet feelings because it's really my favourite season, but at the same time winter is me second favourite. And it's extra cosy and accompanied by festivities. But for now, let's talk about the things I have been loving this month.

Another Subtle Dupe

A few weeks ago I first got aquinted with the brand W7 and their dupes. Yes, you read it correctly, this brand consists mainly out of dupes of great, hyped up and rather expensive makeup products. i already reviewed their Hollywood Bronze & Glow palette (link here) without anything to compare it to, but today will different! This Absolute Lashes Mascara is obviously trying to be a dupe for the Benefit They're Real Mascara I tried a while back and loved.
