FOTD: Wood You Mind?

Het lukte eindelijk weer met de full face foto's, en daarom weer een FOTD voor jullie! Ik ben een beetje uitgekeken op de natural eyes, en speel nu weer iets meer met donkere kleuren. Vandaag vertel ik jullie wat ik allemaal op heb!

Draag jij vaak natuurlijke oogschaduw of durf jij wel extremere ooglooks te maken?

FOTD: 2/03/12

Vorige week Vrijdag ging ik naar de stad in Dordrecht om mijn nieuwe bril op te halen (blogpost komt nog, ik heb nog geen goede foto's.) en toen had ik weer eens een extreme winged eyeliner gedaan. Tijd voor een FOTD :)

Zo zag het er dus full-face uit. Later toen ik weer naar huis ging en in de bus stapte, kreeg ik nog een complimentje van de buschaffeur (is daar een vrouwlijk woord voor eigenlijk?) dat mijn ogen "ZO MOOI waren, maar dat kan ook komen door de manier waarop je ze hebt opgemaakt, echt heel mooi". Mijn dag was weer goed.

Products Used:

FOTD: Neutral with a twist

I've always been a big fan of eyeliner, without I look dull and sick. Today I'm going to show me my "every day" look. It's nothing too much, and only focused on the eyes.

First, I apply an eyeshadow base and put a neutral eye shadow on top. Then I put on eyeliner and mascara and: You're ready! This is seriously all it takes. Of course I also put on foundation, powder and blush, but I really want to focus on my eyes for a minute. This look only took me 4~5 minutes. Can you believe it? Life can be so easy when you know how to use makeup. I really recommend to not give up when it doesn't work, practice makes perfect! I'm also not the queen of applying eye liner, but you should see me 4 years ago!

I always wing out my eyeliner to get the effect of bigger eyes. Without the wing, I don't feel as pretty as I do with the wing. It's just my "signature look".

Products used for the eyes:
Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base
Essence eyeshadow in 22 Blockbuster
Catrice Gel Eyeliner in 010 Black Jack with Jack BlackL'oreal Paris Lash Architect False Lash Effect Mascara in Waterproof

Until next time!

Shoplog 2011/10/11

Today I payed a quick visit to famous drugstore "Kruidvat". I saw a blog post earlier with brushes and an eye shadow base from Essence. Although I'm definitively not a fan of Essence, I just couldn't let these things slide.

First things I bought were these 3 brushes. A Blush Brush, an eyeliner brush and an eye shadow brush.

I've heard a lot about these brushes so decided to try them out, this brush was about €2,99 and I've just tried it out. I'm not really a big fan yet, but it does apply blush the way it's supposed to, so I guess I just need to try this one out.

This eyeliner brush is the first eye liner I've tried in my life. So I can't really say if it's the best ever. I still need some practice so when I'm experienced I'll tell you my honest opinion. This brush was also around €2,99

I'm a big fan of eyeshadow brushes and I can't ever have enough. This brush, for around €2,99 is definitively a brush I like. It applies just as the other brushes I own and I have nothing bad to say about this.

When I visited a blog from Vera Camilla and saw she posted something about this eyeshadow base, I definitively had to read the rest of her blogpost. She even claimed this base was better than the one from the HEMA, the one I'm using currently. So I bought this for 3,99 perhaps?

My first time buying eye liner in a jar. I am really surprised it's so easy to apply. I used to think it would be a mess on my lids but it's actually really amazing. The receipt doesn't show product names, only "MAKEUP CATRICE" or "MAKEUP ESSENCE". So can't really see what the price was. Since I only bought two items from Catrice, I can see one is 2,79 and the other is 3,99. WHY? It's the same product only one is brown and the other is black. I don't get it. Anyway, I really like these, they're not waterproof however but it works completely the same as a regular liquid liner.

Last but not least, an eye shadow with a very neutral color, almost the same as my lids. I do have such a color but it's in a "blush combination package" and I really wanted just one for the convenience. So I got it and it's exactly my skin tone, totally love this.

So with a total of €21,42 I guess I spend enough money for this month. I'm trying to kick back from shopping for make-up, and only get things I really need. I'll keep you posted about this one.

Until next time! 

NOTD: Nails of the day

Happy October!

For today, I'd like to show you some pictures of different nails I've had this September.

Here I'm wearing Essence Nail Art Effect Topper in 02 Circus Confetti

This is Catrice 550 Marilyn&Me. My favorite red nail polish so far. This is from their new collection, so get it while it's still there!

Here I wear Catrice 630 Sing: Hey, Dirty-Lilah! with Essence Nail Art Twins Glitter Topper 2 in 02 Julia
 

Last but not least, H&M Nail polish in Plum. Sorry for the picture, my nails weren't really pretty on that day, haha. But I love this nail polish!

Short blogpost, but I'm working on some more, have a good day!

My Catrice Cosmetics Collection

If you live in Holland, you must have heard from the new make-up brand "Catrice". With it's big collection of not only eye shadows, but also blushes, eye liners, foundation and much more, It's found in a store called "Kruidvat" and it's shockingly affordable. I've been a fan of this brand for quite a while, and now I'm going to show you my small, yet amazing collection.



This isn't everything I own from Catrice, but couldn't fit more on the picture!

So let's talk about these products first! Starting with my nailpolish collection!


So what I like about Catrice is that they give their products awesome names like "Bye, Bye Birdy!" or "I scream Peach!". They also have a "Ultimate Nude Collection" and I own 4 from that collection (I think they have 6~7 in total).




Okay the 170 I Scream Peach! Does not belong to the Ultimate nude collection, it was just standing next to the 040.


Also, the left and right nail polish don't belong to the collection I'm talking about now, only the 050 Moulin Rouge Light.
My least favorite from this NUDE collection is the 050 and the 020. They just don't look good on my nails, but they might look good on yours so try it out! My favorite NUDE polish must be the 040. I'm wearing it atm and I can't imagine my nails without them.




So these are the other nail polishes I own beside the NUDE collection. Overall I do think it chips pretty early, but all my nail polishes chip quite easily on my nails. I don't know the prices of these nail polishes but I think they're around €3,-


So this is a rouge but I like to use this for eye shadows as well. I hardly use this as a rouge or maybe for contouring because my skin is quite pale.




So it gets really easy on any brush you may have. I usually don't take anything from the top row because it's to dark for my skin, but I think this works great for anything you're planning to do with it. Can't remember the price of this one either, around €3,50 perhaps?


So here is my wonderful Catrice Eye Shadow collection, like a pretty tower!


So from left to right these are called:

240 It's a girl (looks quite orange on the picture but it's pink in real life) - 090 Bring Me Frosted Cake - 110 Gilbert's Grapefruit - 190 Petrol Keeps Me Running - 070 Mr. Copper's Fields


See? 240 It's A Girl! is a soft pink eye shadow.


I bought this palette a few days ago, it's called 030 OMG I Want That! and YES, I want that. These colors are so amazing I can't wait to try them out!


So on the right you see another palette which looks like the left one. It's called 040 Never Let Me Go!  And under these two palette's I have 2 blushes. The left one is called 020 Peach Sorbet and on the right it's 040 Chocolate Cream. These blushes are from their Defining Duo Blush collection. I believe they have around 4 from these.


So that's all for my Catrice Collection! I hope you guys like it! I will never stop buying things from Catrice Cosmetics because I'm so satisfied with their product quality! This is my longest blogpost ever I guess, haha. I hope you enjoyed reading and if you live in Holland or Germany or even France you gotta look at this brand!

Enjoy your day x
