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...
