I'm leaving + face of the day!

Hello everyone!
Oh god, I am both exited and sad. I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip with school, which is amazing and I think it's going to be a lot of fun. But I won't be able to blog for (maximum) two days, which makes me a bit sad too.
Anyways, I will make it up to you guys with a post about everything that happened there, pictures and all, so that you can see what it was like! After all, I don't want to share fashion and beauty stuff, I also like sharing some personal stuff every once in a while!

Today I just wanted to post my face of the day. I have blogged about my purple Estée Lauder lipstick before and I wore it quite a few times, but never for school. I decided that now was the time to wear it, no matter what anyone said. After all, the only one who has to like the lipstick is me.
And damn, I do really like it! I kept the rest of my face neutral because I didn't want my eye makeup and my lipstick to clash. I don't think it did, I just wore gel eyeliner (Midnight in Paris by Essence, if you're wondering!)
I have a few pictures of my face of the day, scroll down to see them!

Oh, and I just realized that my lipstick matches the colour of my orchids! How cute, don't you think?

Have a good day and I hope to see you on Saturday! 

Estée Lauder Violet Crush Review

Hello everyone! 

A few days back I got a great product: a new lipstick.

It's called "Violet Crush", a nice matte lipstick by Estée Lauder. It's a purple/pink lipstick. I really love wearing bright colours for lipstick, like hot pink, red and purple so I decided to get this for myself, as a little treat. I wrote about it really quickly in a haul but then I never mentioned it again, so that's why today I wanted to do a review on this Violet Crush lipstick!

The first thing I really like is the packaging. I think it's so beautiful. Obviously I have seen this packaging before but I've never had a lipstick that looked this good (exept for a YSL one). I know that people often say that you pay the packaging too but in this case I don't really have a problem with that, I mean, look how gorgeous it is! 

I just got this without planning it so I can't really tell you why I got that colour. I guess I was just in the mood for something crazy and I loved how it looked on my hand when I swatched it. The pigmentation is really really great. I love the colour. Not everyone will wear a colour like this, I think, but I wanted to try it.

After having it on for a few hours and eating and drinking a lot it goes off a bit but it does leave a purple stain on your lips.

This lipstick is a matte so there's no kind of shimmer or anything in it. Also you just have to be careful because when your lips aren't smooth, you'll see this after applying the lipstick. I don't really have problems with that.

I really think this colour is amazing, I think it's special and cute and I'll probably wear it very often. It's pretty obvious that not everyone will be crazy about this but I am and I'm definently crushing on the violet (get it?) Do you like this colour?

Have a great day!

Shopping Haul

Hi everyone!  Today I'm going to show you what I got when I went shopping yesterday. I know it's a little bit later than expected but the internet is so slow at the moment! Sorry!

I almost got Steve Madden shoes yesterday. After shopping for a few hours I had a lot of money left. I asked the girl in the store if they had the shoes that I liked in my size and she replied that there were almost no shoes left in my size! It made me a little bit sad because I really loved the shoes they had in the store. Next time better?
Anyways I did get quite a few beauty items and I'm going to show them today. There are both budget proof items and a high end item! Here we go!

The first palette I got is "Twinkle in the eye" by Catrice. I thought it looked cute and I didn't have any palette with colours that looked like this.

Swatches! Looks pretty good, huh?

This lipstick is called "Violet Crush". It's a matte lipstick.

Oh how glad I am I finally got myself a lipstick from Estée Lauder! I hear such good things about it all the time. This lipstick is pink/purple. It's a very special colour. I really love it. In the picture it'll look a bit more pink than it is in real life. Normally I like red lipsticks more but this one is really great as well!

 

This "stay all day" eyeshadow by Essence is called "Coppy right". I think it looks great! You can build up the colour and I just love it! The colour is a bit between green and brown.

I got two body butters! Oh god I really love these! They smell very very nice!

Another Essence item! A little while back I got an eyeshadow from the Fantasia collection and now I got a highlighter. The main reason I didn't get it last time is because it was sold out, haha! I heard great things about this and I'm very excited to try it. Doesn't look to bad, now does it? I really love the design.

Nothing really special, this last item. I got an eyebrow pencil by Catrice!
I also got some non-beauty items. I got 5 of the Harry Potter books (like I said, I really wanted them!). It was the perfect day to celebrate the ending of my exams.
Reviews and more pictures are coming up soon!

How was your day?
