Happy 2016!

Dear lovely readers! I wish you all the best for the new year, and may your wishes come true! I personally do not really set any real new years resolutions, because I make new resolutions every week, hehe. BUT, if I had to choose one I definitely want this year to be all about personal development ánd my career, which are intertwined. Of course this includes the things I am most passionate about: being creative! Done through writing, filming, taking pictures, applying make-up, styling outfits, whatevs! Do you boo!

Contour for beginners (review Max&More Contour stick)

Before I stumbled upon affordable contour sticks, I always used a mat bronzer to shape my face a bit. I still use a bronzer every time I apply make-up, even over my cream contouring. (And no, I do not always use a contouring stick, although I included it in my everyday make-up tutorial, lol.) In my opinion the best way to start playing around w/ shaping is by using a powder. Also, affordable contour sticks are still hardly available here in NL!

Wholesale make-up (review Gabrini + Rapsodi matte lipsticks)

When I was in Turkey a few months ago, I went HAM at on buying make-up. I was so excited to spot budget matte lipsticks, so I bought some in my favorite shades (pinky nudes). I scored these lippies by the brands Gabrini and Rapsodi for about 6TL (€1,80). Maybe a bit too cheap to expect good quality lipstick for, looking back. But then again, I really enjoy my €1,99 Lidl lipstick too...

Zakjes-dieet (Weight Care minikuur review)

Nee hoor, ik ben niet overgewicht. Maar net als ieder ander meisje ben ik de slechtste niet om te zeggen dat een paar cm's eraf te werken geen kwaad kan. Scheelt toch wat bezoekjes aan de Kalverstraat om een nieuwe garderobe aan te schaffen in een maatje groter dan gewend.

Hardly any progress at all (review II Wagamama)

A few weeks ago I went out for a quick dinner w/ my cousin Varishta Shireen, before we parted our ways at the Amsterdam Central Station. Looking for a place somewhat convenient to dine at that would not cost us too much, our choice fell on Wagamama. It had been a few years since I visited the restaurant, because my previous experiences did not leave the best impression on me. I found the food to be overpriced and not too impressive.
