Haul

Hey everyone ! How's everybody doing today? Well, since i promised you guys an haul ... Uhm, this kinda it ... Anyway, i didn't swatch every product i bought, i only swatched the sleek eyeshadows and highlighter.  Let me know if you guys want swatches of the other products.WARNING : I only bought drugstore products.

First of all, my sleek palette! I've been wanting this palette since the day i heard about it. I really don't know when actually. I got Storm.

I'm so sorry of the quality of the picture. And i should've took a picture before i used, hihi! Anyway sleek is a drugstore brand. The quality of this palette is amazing, the eyeshadows are so soft! Here are some swatches :

Don't known if you can see it, because the light colours you should see, because i have dark skin. Anyhow, it is because of my camera. But the first line of shadows are very light to bronze and the second rowe are dark shadows. So you can switch from daytime to party or a night ent. Sleek are in different prizes, depends on your country. I bought them for €7.25 .






Now my nail laquers. I bought four nail polishes, thought i'd start my collection. I bought:

  • Catrice nail expert. It's a see trough topcoat. That supposed hold up to 10 days.
  • Catrice nail laquer,in 310 I see trough you.
  • MNY in 549
  • And catrice nail laquer, in 200 From dusk to dawn.

Lipglosses. I bought freaking 5 lipglosses. I totally went crazy, haha. These are the on i bought:
  • Essence xxxl nudes, in 01 pure beauty
  • Essence xxxl nudes, in 04 Toffee forever
  • Essence xxxl nudes, in 03 Nude kiss
  • MNY, in 479
  • MNY, 397



Well, since i needed a new blush. I thought why not buy this blush. It was like 4 euro's i think. And it's not like over pigmented or anything. But i'd say for 4 euro's it definitly worth it.


Here in Holland, everybody knows Hema. There isn't like one person that doesn't knows it. And they sell about anything(clothes,candy,make-up, school supplies.) And i came by the make-up area, i was looking for a temporary foundation. Because i want to invest my money in sigma brushes. For anyone who buys MAC brushes. Please don't, they're so expensive and a waste of money. I'm not saying that the quality is bad. No, not at all. Because sigma is way cheaper, and has the same quality. So it's like a waste of money. Anyway, i bought this brush for 3 euro's. That is like so cheap. Because it's so soft, applies my foundation smoothly. I love it.



My favourite foundation of all time. I recently re-discoverd this foundation. It's the second skin foundation by Maxfactor. This foundation is perfect for everyday. I used it several month's for like everyday. And i didn't break out majorly. This is what a foundation should. like if you break out from a foundation. Lose it, throw it in your trashcan. Because that foundation doesn't work for your skin. Anyway i bought it for 17 euro's in the colour 080 bronze.


Concealer, couldn't life without it right? Anyway this was like 3 or 4 euro's. And i didn't test it for a long time. So i can not tell if it's good or bad or anything. I'm going to try it out, and do an review for you guys.


So that were all the products i bought. Hope you liked them. I'll blog ya tomorrow!

....

Hey everyone! So as you can see, i left the title of this blog open. For a reason, because lately i've been feeling so sad. And i just wanted to get it out of my system. A blog really is going to help me do that. Because if you read my random blog posts it talked about how chubby i was and how everyone was bullying me at that time. Well, now i don't get bullied or anything. But that feeling still has been around me. Don't know why. But it really gets me, in some way.

And everytime i think about it makes sad. But then i'm thinking, on the other had; since i am at different school. I've just been myself, and noticed i don't need to hide myself away from other people. They just needed to so ME. And really, if you just be yourself. People will like you, for who you are. It doesn't matter who you are, what size you are, what colour you are. That all doesn't matter. For example i have a turkish best friend, and i'm British-Guyanees.  And i seriously could tell her anything, even though we're not seeing each other that often. She still is there for me if i need anything. And i'm just doing this blog, so i can really express myself. Because sometimes talking to strangers is way better than anyone you know. I know i don't get like loads of bloghits. But there many girls out there like me, who are 17, who have been bullied and are feeling miserable right. I just wanted to say, i got bullied. It wasn't a easy time for me. But together we can prevend it, right? And i am overweight. So what? I'm gonna try my hard to loose some weight. Because not only is it necessary. For me it's something, that is making me feel confident about myself. I've never been the girl, that is confident about herself. But now, and i told myself this many times; i'm gonna step it up, lose some weight, be confident, be happy and healthy. For the girls out there who don't feel good about their selves. Please think happy thoughts, i can assure you'll feel better. And if you are getting bullied, just say something to them. Otherwise they'll never stop. Go to your principal or just anyone and tell them.

Oh, and the reason i'm not doing any tutorials is because i still haven't had the mony to buy a good camera. Like right, i'm taking pictures with my iphone. And no not an iphone 4, but a 3G. So like the week of the 10th december, my camera should arrive. And i'll do a tutorial. That's gonna be my first christmas tutorial. Yay, so excited about that. I'm trying to get my first make-up haul up tomorrow. Should i promise you guys that? Tomorrow a haul post? Yes? A haul post it is tomorrow, and that's a PROMISE !! I hope you guys liked it, and seriously i feel a lot better now. I'll blog ya tomorrow !

Random blog day : about me (2).

Hey everybody ! I don't know if you read my previous blog that was about me. But it was all about the bad things in my life, like the face that i was bullied. For a really long time of my live. But i don't want to focus it anymore on the bad things, i want to tell you all about the good things happend to me. So here we go!

Well as i told the bullying started in 4th grade, and also that was the time my little baby brother was born. 2001 my little baby brother was born, everyone was so excited ! Including me, because other than my little sister i had finally a baby brother. And yeah, i'm the big sister. Like there's me, my little sister, my baby brother and my baby sister.

Actually, everybody like spoiled me. Because i'm the oldest grandchild from my father's side of the family. Anyway, like i said i was the smart kid in school. They let me participate in reading contests, we did dancing(altough i'm not the best dancer,really). Like one time in 8th grade me and my other classmate participated in contest that was about how smart you were. Yes, really. And we ended up on the 8th place. Haha, starting to think of i was really that smart. Anyway, despite the face we ended up in 8th place. Our teacher was really proud of us. And it made us obviously feel great. Oh, and in 8th grade. My baby sister came along, wauw she was so cute. She still is though.

In middle school, i was chubby and still am. And some people were cruel. And despite the fact that i am fat, i still had a couple who i could rely on. They were so sweet, and i'll never forget the things they said to make feel better. But they didn't last long. In 4th grade of middle school(secondary school) i met my best friend who still is my best friend. She was the only one, with who i could really be myself. She listenend to, and i listenend to her. She helped me and i helped her ... Like she sucks at english, haha sorry best friend but you said it to me. And i talked all day long english to her. And she started getting better at english. Well my mother is from British-Guyana so my english isn't that bad.

Anyway we graduated from that school, got our diploma's. Now we are at high school. And although we go to the same school. We follow different courses. We don't have the same schedules. But whenever we have time, we go out to the movies, the mall and stuff like that. I have to admit, starting to really miss her now. So now i'm at high school, not afraid to be myself(otherwise i wouldn't be blogging). Couple years ago, i would be terrified to speak up. But now i'm not. I've become stronger and stronger.

That was my story of my life. I'll blog ya tomorrow!

Purr by Katy Perry (fragrance)

Hey everyone! Today i wanted to talk about something other than make-up. So i decided i'd talk about a fragrance. And yeah Katy Perry's perfume is already released. I'm so excited, because Katy is one of my idols. Her songs are so awesome, especially Firework. It's my all time favourite song. I could listen all day to that song and don't get bored. BTW i have this awesome teacher and today was her last day. Well, because she's pregnant and is going on maternity leave. I will miss her, so we decided to go go bowling and eat diner with the whole class. It was so good. Anyway enough going off-topic. Let's talk about that perfume.

So the name of the perfume is Purr. It begins with the aroma of peach nectar and forbidden apple, evolves with a distinct flor bouquet of jasmine blossom, bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid. Also it slowly of creamy sandelwood and musk. Like how amazing does that sound? If this perfume is releasing in the Netherlands, i'll 100% buy it. For internationally i don't know if it is going to be released all over the world, in the US it already is for sale at Nordstrom 's.

Available in 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz, the prizes are $45 and $65. Hope you enjoyed reading my blog and i'll blog ya later.

PS: i'll soon do a haul, i'm waiting for my sleek palettes to be deliverd, yay !

Guerlain, Les ors holiday collection 2010

Heeeeeey everybody ! So excited to blog. Because i got 77 views on one freaking day ! I mean, that's a lot views especially for a newbie like me in the blogging world. And i just want to thank y'all and hope you keep on reading my blog.

So Guerlain is ofcourse releasing a holiday collection. And like always, we wouldn't expect anything less or more. This collection is marvelous(haha i just spoke british). Well, feel free to correct me if "marvelous" is grammatically incorrect. And again i'm so sorry if i bore you guys with this kinda posts. Anyway, Guerlain has pretty products as always. So let's get to the collection.


These are the Le 2 Volume in 13 Or 2 Nuit ( Mascara) and the Ombre Elcat 4 Shades in 410 Velours d’Or ( the eyeshadow palette). The palette includes four eyeshadows. Wich coordinated at eachother. It a black matte, purple matte, bronze/gold with a little bit of shimmer and dark purple. Wich also has a little bit of shimmer. The mascara. Well ... There is something extraordinary about this mascara. Because unlike other mascara's at the end it has eyeshadow(wich makes most sense to me). The eyeshadowis also  bronze/ gold colour-ish . The palette is available for $59,00 and the mascara for $36,00.


 Then we have these two amazing looking products. Hmm, what could it be? The long round thing is actually a skin primer, called Guerlain midnight star skin primer.You can use it at night like when you're having a long night ahead of you. And your skin looks exhausted, it will be refreshing ! Then the pretty bottle with the gold stuff? It's the Or Imperial Sublime Radiant Powder Face & Body. It's a powder you "spray on your face"(for example) . It will give you an beautiful golden look. The primer is available for $73,00 and the powder for $85,00.


Who doesn't loves pearls? Right? Guerlain pressed powders are supposed to be an pearl(well they are). This is the Meteorites Poudre d’Or . 6 pearly shades for fresh and luminious finish. Decorated in real Swarovski crystals. Wauw, this one i really want. Anyway this pretty collector's item is available for $170,00. Oh and there's a version without the crystals wich is available for $56,00.


Our last item in the collection. And i think this one is not hard to guess. They are lipsticks. Guerlain named them Kiss Kiss Strass. These pretty lipsticks are available in the colours Rouge imperial and Rose de la reine. There are possibly other colours available at nordstrom i think. But these colours weren't in the main collection. This lipstick is available for $31,00.

So that was my blog for today. Thank you all so much for reading and i'll blog ya later!
