Shimmer-trip (swatches Sleek Vintage Romance Palette)

Like the title says this post is simply to provide you with some swatches galore :D I received this palette as part of a goodiebag I got at a blogger event! It retails for €10,99 in various online shops and exotic hair shops.

Into space (swatches Sleek Solstice Palette)

No extensive review for you today, but merely some swatches and a look I did earlier with this palette!

Rosy Glow Makeup Tutorial (video)

Hi loves! Today I'll show you how I achieve this sweet glowy look, in my second makeup tutorial! It's really easy and I mostly used drugstore products!

Sweet pink (review Primark Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayon)

In my last birthday haul first impression, I showed you some products I scored at Primark. Today's post is to show you the products up close and on me!

Such a steal (review L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer)

I bought these L.A. Girl HD Pro Conceal concealers at the Afro Indian Market in The Hague, as part of my humble birthday shopping spree. They costed me about €3,95 each, a pretty good deal imo. I chose two beige toned colors, 'GC976 Pure Beige' (left) and 'GC973 Creamy Beige' (right).

Country got ya crazy (review R.K. by Kiss Matte Lipstick) + video

Hi loves! Join me today as I share my second birthday haul first impression with you on my Youtube channel (scroll down to see it)! This blogpost is dedicated to the matte lipstick by Kiss I scored at the Afro Indian Market in The Hague, as part of my birthday haul.

Such a shame (review Kiko Precision Lip Pencil)

Last week I celebrated my 26th birthday and as a birthday present I got to score some make-up goodies (on sale)! I just posted my 'Birthday Haul + First Impression' video on my Youtube channel, in which I show you all the stuff I purchased with a demonstration of the products! In this post I will show you the Kiko Precision Lip Pencils up in close.

Matte Me dupe? (Note vs Sleek)

A while ago I went to Alanya, Turkey on a vacation. I scored a bunch of beauty products there, mainly lipproducts, and have reviewed all of them up until now with the exception of one. I probably was excited by this one the most!

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...

Crayon XL (review Golden Rose Matte Lipstick Crayon)

When I went on a vacation to Turkey last month, I made sure I left the country w/ a stash of new makeup products. For my previous review, I first tried out the Flormar Waterproof Lipliner. Today's brand is one that is unfortunately not for sale in NL (at least not that I know off)!

Wrong souvenir (Flormar waterproof lipliner review)

During my vacation in Turkey last month, I of course did a teensy-weensy bit of shopping. Being the make-up hoarder that I am, I mostly scored some budget lipproducts from brands that I had never seen before or are not available for purchase back home.

Subtle shade (Kiko contouring pencil review)

My favorite products to contour w/ are just the regular ol' powdered bronzer and highlighter, my current fav being the Sleek Face Form palette. I really wanted to try out some contouring pencils after I saw them in a video by itsjudytime. She made shading seem so effortless w/ her Smashbox contour sticks!

Supermarket swag (review Cien lipstick)

Hi loves! Yes, I am still here! My apologies for not posting, I was enjoying myself being on a vacation to Turkey! More about that later this week, for today I want to write about some cheap lippies I scored at the Lidl supermarket a few weeks ago! I purchased a frosty pink lip color from this line in the past, and although I did not use it a lot (no clue as to where it is at this moment), the quality was not too bad for the price of €1,99. So when I spotted some new colors, whilst waiting in line being bored AF, I chose two of them to take home w/ me!

Eyelash lotion (review Catrice Luxury Lashes waterproof)

As part of my latest Kiko haul, I reviewed some mascara's I bought with a discount. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed by them! So when I spotted Catrice's new line of mascara's called "Luxury Lashes" on a 1+1 sale, I decided to purchase two.

Lactose-free latte (review Primark: Sunkissed Intense Color)

In my last post I reviewed some low budget lipliners I found at Primark for €1,50. That same shopping spree I noticed that Primark now sells another brand of make-up products, aside from the PS line. This line called 'Sunkissed' offers make-up that will help you getting a bronzed look. I decided to try out an Intense Colour chubby lip pencil/lipstick in the color 'caffé latte' (€2,50). Seen as I also picked out a brown lip pencil by PS to review, I thought these colors could possibly complement each other well.

On a hunt (review Primark: PS lip liner pencil)

Lipsticks and lipliners are my weaknesses. However, I do not like to spend too much on them, especially not on the latter! Passively I am thus always on the hunt for the best budget liplipers I can find, in a selection of nude/mauve/light pink colors. When I saw these PS lipliners for only €1,50 each at Primark I once again caved in. I only saw four colors available (pink, mauve, brown, and red). Aside from the pink one, named 'light pink', the pencils are nameless.

Kiko haul/review (pt. 2: Unforgettable mascara, False lash concentrate)

In my previous post I reviewed some of the face products I purchased at Kiko. Today I will be reviewing my Kiko eye products! I bought them with a discount, because Kiko was (and still is at this point) having a sale on mascara's. Because of the low price I figured, why not try out two? I really wanted a waterproof variant, because it usually lasts longer on my lashes. And so my first choice fell on the Unforgettable waterproof mascara, which promises you longlasting curled lashes (€7,20).

Kiko haul/review (pt. 1: Unlimited foundation, Dark circle concealer)

The first time I visited a Kiko shop was in Amstelveen, where I bought three lipliners and a BB cream on sale. Two out of the three liners quickly became my new budget favorite, but unfortunately the BB cream was a tad bit too dark for me. My second visit was at the new shop in Amsterdam, in search of a lipscrub in lipstick form. So many other things caught my attention that day! On the brand's website I saw a nice color selection in foundations and concealers, but unfortunately I could hardly find any reviews/swatches online to determine what my color would be. So I decided to refrain from online shopping and to just visit the store to pick out the right shades!

Lipstick scam (review Max&More lipstick)

Ah, yes. Another (budget) lippie review! Today I will discuss the 'nude lips' and 'red lips' lipstick/lipliner sets by Max&More, a brand that is sold at one of my BFF stores ever; Action. What sold me were the included lipliners, and the bold red color. The choice for 'nude lips' is no more than obvious, seen as I am a big nude lipstick hoarder. And well, for the price of €0,89 or so each, they were kind of difficult to walk past.
