MAC Cremeblend Blushes - Spring 2011

Hi there! So MAC decided to release a couple of new cremeblend blushes. It's nothing fancy, just a couple blushes. So as usual below a quote :

"For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility you’ve ever had…Starts creamy, stays creamy and proves once and for all that powder is NOT your only prerogative. You can get back to a new build for that retro “rouge” look – Old Hollywood Glamour made modern – or stop at subtle and natural; it’s all in your hands. In three aspects, two shades of each: One matched to skin, one for a brighter glow and one darker for cream contouring, it’s perfect for all skin colours, minus the silicone, particularly adept at preventing ashiness on darker complexions. Make powdery a thing of the past. "
The blush costs $19,50, and they are going to be regulars in the collection. Available in the following colours:
  • Brit Wit
  • Ladyblush
  • 'Posey
  • So sweat, so easy
  • Something special
  • Tea petal


These are going to be available 3rd of March(US) and March 2011 internationally. I hope you like my post. And I'll blog you tomorrow.

Random blog

Hi there! As usual sunday is no make-up day and that means just randomly blogging. Talking about my life. What has been going on in my life. My life is actually really boring though. But what has been going in my life?

So this week was Spring Break for us in the Netherlands. We get like one week free from school. And I decided to go to my internship and work. So I was working 2 days and 4 days interning. So today is basically my only day off. When I told my mom, she was like. Why the hell did you do that?  Because she took one week off to from work. And then I was working and interning. Anyway, summer vacation still starts earlier for me though.

Oh, and have you guys heard? There is going to be an Victoria's Secret in Holland. Yay !! I'm so excited. I finally get to buy their make-up, clothes and all the other stuff. We have to wait till fall though.

Oh, and work. Can I complain, please? Because I don't like my boss anymore. He is so annoying. I've been working for almost 3 years there. And now he treats me like I just started there. Oh, okay so I had to work monday, tuesday and saturday. And the saturday before I said, I can't work anymore, because I had to go to my internship. And he just said, no you have to work. And I was like, no! Then my collegue from another store, worked for me and I still had to work on tuesday. I was so mad, I told on a piece of my mind. And what did he say? He said(in dutch,though): that's a load of crap. I was like whatever, because in that situation I was right.

Anyway, this was my random blog for today. Hope you liked it, enjoy your sunday. And i'll talk to you later!

Ever heard about Hard Candy cosmetics?

Hi there! So I was as always surfing on the internet for some inspiration, and found the site of Hard Candy. And I was like, what's that? Because I for sure never have heard about this brand or anything. I thought, hmm why not make an post on it. I never tried their products. But would sure as hell love to! So I made a small of selection. Products I myself would buy!








\

Kal-eye-descope - Baked Eyeshadow Duos. These eyeshadows are baked. And as you know, baked eyeshadows apply better when they are wet applied. Supposed to be highly pigmented.
Glossaholic - Sequin Saturated Shine Lip Gloss. I'm in love with the colour of these. Like I want to go on a plane to the US and buy these. Haha, crazy ha? It has sparkles and makes your lips fuller and plumper.
Sheer envy - tinted moisturizer with spf 15. SPF is always good! It is basically a moisturizer with a tint. What more is there to say?
Fox in a Box - bronzing duos & blushing quads. And then the eyecatcher of all the products I would buy. Like I seriously love the packaging. Look at the little black polkadots! That is so cute!  Anyway, these are again supposed to be highly pigmented.  All the colours should be blendable.
And that were all of the products I would buy. These are available at Wal-Mart.To bad, I can't ! Maybe someday when I go the US, right? And I'm sure I will! I hope you enjoyed and I'll blog y'all later!


Glamoflauge - Heavy Duty Concealer . Which is supposed to be full coverage. Which can hide dark circles and even tattoo's.

    Mijn Catrice nagellakjes(review+swatches) + NYC in NL !

    Hoi allemaal! Het is weer dinsdag en dat betekent dat het weer tijd is voor een Nederlandse blog. En dit keer over mijn catrice lakjes die ik tot nu heb. En natuurlijk over NYC!

    Ik heb in totaal 6 lakjes van Catrice. En dat zijn :
    • 070 Caught on the red carpet - een donkere rood
    • 200 From dusk to dawn - een taupe, nude kleur
    • 310 I see trough you - Een doorzichtig lakje
    • 250 I sea you - Een mintgroene kleur
    • 150 Big spender wanted - Roze, met een lichte sheen
    • 110 Poison me, poison you - Donker paars
    Ze lakken erg fijn over het algemeen. Je hebt er wel 2 coats voor nodig. Maar eigenlijk mag ik helemaal niet klagen. Want dit zijn de beste lakjes voor €2,50. Ze drogen snel. En ik heb ze natuurlijk ook even ge-swatched voor jullie. Dat heb ik gedaan op mijn eigen nagels, want ik heb nog nagelwiel(helaas!). Ik heb ze zonder topcoat en zonder basecoat aangebracht. Alle lakjes zijn in 2 coats aangebracht.



     Zoals je ziet, dekken ze heel goed ! Op mijn duim heb ik nude kleur op. En die is op de foto wat nuder dan normaal. De consistentie van de donker rode was heel dun. Maar deze dekt alsnog in 2 coats. En de doorzichtige hoef ik natuurlijk niet te swatchen, he! Over de andere lakjes heb ik eigenlijk niet zo veel te zeggen. Want ze dekken normaal, en de kleuren van deze zijn beyond pretty !

    Mijn persoonlijke voorkeur gaat uit naar I sea you en From dusk to dawn. Dat zijn voor mij de twee mooiste lakjes van allemaal wat ik heb. Natuurlijk zijn de andere lakjes ook mooi, anders had ik ze niet gekocht!

    Anyway, enough about Catrice! Nu over NYC. New york color is een amerikaans budget merk. Een beetje net als Catrice. Alleen vind ik dan dat de producten van NYC veel meer lijken op high-end. Dit merk wordt in Maart geintroduceerd bij de Kruidvat. De prijzen zullen niet zo heel duur zijn, waarschijnlijk vanaf 2,99? Anyway, ik ga elk geval wel naar de kruidvat toe in maart! Dat zeker, gaan jullie ook? Laat het me weten in de comments!

    Random blog

    Hey everyone! It's sunday and that means it's time for another random blog. And I know, I already posted an random blog this week. But I feel like, I have to do one. Just because it's sunday. So remember I told you guys, that I was going to the Huishoudbeurs friday? I did go, and it was crazy.

    Me, my mom and my sister  ended up going. My aunts didn't want to go anymore. They are going today. Ok, so I brought my camera to take pictures(obviously). Because I wanted to show you guys pictures of it. Well, that didn't happen. I was trying yo get pictures, but it was so crowded that night. I just couldn't . Like I was so afraid that someone was going to steel my camera.

    But it was like so busy. Okay, you have like two stores that they hired. And it's divided in fashion, food and house hold stuff. And of all the stands, the food one was the busiest. Like everyone was there. Everybody was getting food. Including us, haha. Loreal, rimmel and some other make-up brands were there to!

    So now about how my week was. Well, my week was exhausting. Why? Because I had to be at my internship for four days, and then 1 day school till 4.30 pm and then Saturday I had to work till 5 pm. Sucks, right? The one thing that keeps me going is this blog. Because everyday I'm excited to come home and write an post. And you know, I don't like to pre-write. Because I feel like, your writing ahead and you don't know what is going to happen that day. Eventually I have to.

    So anyway. This was my usual blabber for today. I'll blog you tomorrow!

    Ever heard about Nutrimetics Cosmetics?

    Hi there! So I was just surfing around the web. And I came across this site of an beauty brand. And I was like huh? Why have I never heard about this brand?

    China Glaze Crackle Collection 2011

    Hi there! Who doesn't love nailpolish? I love, love, love it. To be honest ... I like China Glaze polishes, but I'm not in love with them. Because for some reason the darker colours seem to apply better, and dry faster. It's weird, right? It may just be me. Okay, so I got Sunset Sail from the Anchors Away collection. When they deliverd it, I was like so excited. Who wouldn't be? I tested them out, and turns out I have to apply like 3 coats of Sunset sail. I mean, I don't mind putting on 3 coats. But usually nailpolishes cover at 2 coats. And it didn't dry as fast as I expected, but that is just me!

    Anyway, this collection is going to be so AWESOME! If I may use that, haha! So they are coming with crackle polishes. OPI has them in the collection, and I think it's so pretty. I personally love nail art though. They are releasing 6 crackle polishes. In the colours :
    • Lightning Bolt(White)
    • Black Mesh (Black)
    • Broken Hearted (Pink)
    • Cracked Concrete (Grey)
    • Fault Line (Purple)
    • Crushed Candy(Teal)


    So basically what you do is : apply your favourite nail polish, that isn't a crackle. Wait till the nail polish you've applied is dry. Then you apply one of the crackle nail polishes. Wait 5 minutes, and there you have it. Oh, and these are available as of now! In the US at sally's beauty supply. And for my dutch people, go to http://www.nailpolishfashion.nl/ .

    I hope you liked it. Comments are always welcome. And i'll blog you tomorrow!

    Aan wat voor beauty producten geef jij je geld uit?

    Hoi allemaal! Dus vandaag tijdens mijn stage, zat ik te denken waar over ik vandaag zou schrijven. En ik had letterlijk gewoon geen idee. Het kwam er vandaag echt niet uit. Dus ik besloot rond te surfen op het net. Kwam langs een webshop, en dacht : Aan wat geven jullie je geld uit qua beauty producten? Als beauty addict, geef ik soms bijna heel mijn salaris uit aan beauty. Wat overigens niet zo heel veel is hoor! Ik werk zelf bij de Blokker. En als 17-jarige verdien je bijna niks daar. Tenzij, je je uit de naad werkt voor €400. En dan heb ik het over, in de kerstvakantie letterlijk je hele vakantie werken. Sucks right?

    Anyway, ik ben echt heel slecht met geld uitgeven. Al zeg ik het zelf. Ik geef het liefst honderden euro's uit in een keer. Maar dat komt waarschijnlijk omdat ik toch elke maand weer iets zie qua beauty. Ik koop vooral gezichtsverzorging, make-up, haarproducten & huidverzorging. En dan moet je denken aan biodermal cremes, MAC make-up. Maar ook vooral budget make-up want at is uiteindelijk waar ik me op wil focussen. Want niet iedereen heeft het geld om Chanel, Dior, Guerlain te kopen. Ik bedoel eens een keer, mag je tuurlijk jezelf wel trakteren op Chanel hoor. Maar ik trakteer mezelf liever op MAC hoor! Haha, anyway!

    Ik zou graag willen weten , waar geef jij je geld aan uit, beauty gerelateerd natuurlijk?!

    Charles Worthtington Heat Defence Spray Review

    If you have curly hair like me. You probably straighten you hair a lot. Because it is so hard to maintain curly thair. I've been looking a long time for a good heat protecter. And may just found the one. It's the Charles Worthington Heat Defence Spray. I love it! Want to know why? Well, just keep on reading.

    So basically what it does for your hair:
    • Protects hair from the daily aggresors of heat styling uv radition and pollution.
    • Smooth frizz and maximise the staying power of your finished style.
    • Lock in moisture an transform hair manageability an shine.
    That's what it says in the package. Now back to real life. About the pollution I'm not sure. Because my here gets dirty very fast sometimes. So it may have to do with my hair. But other than it's an amazing product. It makes your very shiny, it does smoothes my frizz a little bit. But the fact that is pretty good, because my hair is ver frizzy. Remember the frizz hair look from the runway? That's what it looks like sometimes. Crazy huh?  An it gets better. It's an drugstore product.

    You buy this at your local drugstore. And it's not expensive I bought it for I think either €6.99 or €7.99. Compared to CHI products that is cheap. So that is what I think of the heat protecter. I hope I was helpful. I'll blog you tomorrow!

    Random blog

    Hola, Hello, Hallo, Hoi, Hey and Bonjour! How are you today? Let me know! As for me,I'm a bit tired but happy at the same time. I seriously don't know why? I'm just a bit happy today! It might have something to do with the fact that I started changing my eating habits this week! I tried to stay away from all the junkfood. And it went well, except for the time that I ate chips(think fries) one time only. But it was one time only and I ate healthy for the whole week! It feels so good. Especially drinking nothing but water, it makes me feel so fresh every time!

    And you know, since I've been drinking a lot water this week(nothing but). I treated myself on a cup coffee yesterday. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. But it's okay because drinking nothing but water is HUGE! Most people drink coffee every day, they drink juices and all that other stuff. I didn't, yay for me! Anyway enough about the eating habits. Let me tell you how my week went! 

    So this week I had to start my intership. I'm an intern at an financial magazine. You may not know, but I'm studying to be an assistent-accountant. So I'm not writing for the magazine and stuff. I wish I was. Anyway, my supervisor contacted me and said that he was sick. Since I had to start Monday, and he said well I think I'm not coming to work this week because I'm sick you know! He was like, can you start Thursday? I was like hell yeah. I can get some rest this week! Because I have to work there 4 days a week, then one day school and then 1 day work. And then I have one freaking day for myself. Sucks, right? It's gonna be all worth it, when I get my diploma!

    And I think when I'm done with this course. I will follow another course, that has more to do with writing. I think I'll follow communication. That seems so much fun. Or I might follow an make-up artist course. What do you think? Let me know in the comments !

    Anyway, my post is as usual way to long. But I hope you liked it. And I'll blog you tomorrow!

    How to: prevent frizzy hair ?

    Hi there! Everybody wants smooth hair right? And for some people like me, that really is hard. Because i have really curly, frizzy hair. And sometimes it's so hard to maintain, that i just straighten it out. Like i have to. But when i straight it how do i prevent the frizzy-ness of my hair? So because i know a lot of girls have this problem here are some tips :
    • Use a serum after you straighten it(oh, and don't forget your heat protecter).
    • Do not comb your hair to often. You may think: Why if i don't i have a lot knots?. No, the more you comb it, the more if frizzes! And i know this from experience!
    • What i often use to prevent frizz is the palmer's hair food formula! It is the best. And in overall the smell isn't the greatest but for the price i would definitely buy it. Because it's bearable.
    • And do not wash your hair every day! Not even every other day. Because we have curly,frizzy hair. And the hot water dries it even more out than it is. And it soun kind of "yakkie" but i wash my hair 2 times a week. And sometimes even 3.
    That were my tips on how to prevent frizzy hair. And i'm not saying that your hair is going to be frizz free. But it's going to help you on days when it's really bad. So i hope i was helpful. I'll blog you tomorrow!
