My favourite autumn inspired lipsticks!

Every autumn, I dig deep in my make-up collection to find darker shades of lipsticks. I have a few all time favourites and a few lipsticks I fall back in love with every year.
Of course, I also have a couple of new lipsticks every year. Today, I'm walking you through my favourites.

- Classic reds:
The perfect red never goes out of style. I wear it all year long. For this time of year, it's perfect as well. For classic reds, I have four favourites. I am a big fan of MAC's Russian Red, as well as Rimmel's "111 Kiss of Life" and my "Blake's pure red" by L'Oréal. My last red lipstick, called "Pleasure me red" by Maybelline is one of my favourites as well!

- Nudes:
I always have a very hard time finding a nude lipstick that I really like. I got a new one recently, called "Nude Embrace" by Maybelline that I'm crazy about!
Such a pretty colour! I have a review coming up on this one!

- Purple shades:
Last year, I had a bit of an obsession with purples when it came to lipsticks. I have three absolute favourites.
One of them is Catrice's Plum & Base. The other two are Rimmel's "107" and "18" by Bourjois (Rouge Edition).

- Dark Shades:
Essence's "Très Chic" and "08 MATT MATT MATT" are two of my favourites. The other favourite that I have, is MAC's "Dark Side".

Do you have any favourite lipsticks? If so, please let me know in the comments below!
I hope this gave you some inspiration for the holidays!

Have a good day! I'll see you soon!

A walk through the fall beauty trends!

Goodmorning all of you! How are you?
About a week ago I posted the fall trends in fashion and today I'm going to show you my three favourite trends for make-up this winter.
(All of the pictures I used are pictures that I found on Instagram or other apps/sites. None of them belong to me.)

Glow
Highlighting, strobing, whatever you prefer, as long as it makes you glow! I'm personally a big fan of highlighting. Not too much, but just that little extra "oomph".
My favourite highlighters are Catrice's highlighter and MAC's "Soft and Gentle". I compared these two to each other as well, read it here!

Gothic
In fashion, chokers come back as a "gothic" trend, but also in fashion there's a bit of a gothic vibe. Of course - dark lips. Not just daerker reds and deep purples, but also browns and even black.

Glitter
Tis the season to be jolly, and glitter is always a big part of the holiday season. You can incorporate glitter in your make-up look in a lot of ways.
The glitter cut crease trend has been really big and I'm absolutely in love with this! I found tons and tons of gorgeous pictures on Instagram. Here are a couple of them.

Thanks for reading!
I hope to see you soon!

Spring make-up trends :)

Goodmorning all of you!
How have you been doing? I have been so busy working on a bunch of different things (most importantly: my teaching and guiding my students in their learning proces!), which you might have noticed from my absence.
I'm not going to say it's never going to happen again, because honestly, I don't know. The days have just been flying by and I feel like sometimes I can't keep up.

Spring is just around the corner now andere I van barely wait!
Today I'll be showing you my three favourite make-up trends for spring. I absolutely love spring; the birds, the sun, the weather that's still a bit chilly but leaves you hopeful, ah, I can't get enough!

Glitter

I don't consider glitter to be a trend, simply because I personally wear it all the time, but if you're not the kind of girl that wears glitter on a day to day basis, then no problem! But maybe you could give it a try this spring!

Below, I've linked a very glittery, but oh so gorgeous make-up tutorial for you guys. If, however, you don't like all over the lid glitter, don't worry! Below the first video, you'll find a second one. This second one is more neutral and subtle - glitter eyeliner is your friend this season!

Rosy tones
If you're not really into glitter and all that jazz, or maybe you just want to tone it down for a couple of days, you can always go for rose, pinky tones. I was never a big fan of pink shades until I got the Nude Dude make-up palette by The Balm a couple of months ago. Since then, I've also been experimenting with cranberry/burgundy shades.
Scared this eyeshadow look will make you look sick? Go for pink lips instead! 


Blue eye make-up
I used to be a very huge fan of blue eyeshadows. When I just started out experimenting with make-up, I couldn't get enough of it.
I feel like now, I've come to my senses and I've started to act more natural, but I'm quite happy to see that the pop of colour will be making a comeback this spring.

Again, I've got two tutorials to inspire you! 

Thanks for reading!
Enjoy your first day of May!
