EOTD: I want to marry cranberry

I love fall. I'm not a fan of the weather (I tend to get cold really fast), but I do love the colours. Cranberry, copper, green,... 

I'm currently in a cranberry loving fase. I try to incorporate this colour in most of my make-up looks. Here's the make-up look I've been wearing frequently.

I used my ELF 144 neutral palette, The Balm Nude Tude and Nude Dude palette, and MAC eyeshadows for this. 

 

 I applied 'Creme the nude' color tattoo as eyeshadow base, then I used "Flawless" from my Nude Dude palette in the crease. After that, I applied "Texture" by MAC and "Espresso" in the outer corner. I also used "Sleek" from my Nude Tude palette to darken up the outer corner.

I first applied "Metallic pomegranate" on my lid and then picked out a cranberry eyeshadow colour. I used my ELF 144 neutral palette for this. I used Essence eyeliner and mascara to finish the look.

Today I used my MAC lipstick in "Dark Side". I think it looks absolutely gorgeous in combination with my cranberry make-up look.

Essence lash princess mascara review

Hello everyone! I'm back today with a mascara post. It's been a while since I've done one of these.

I rarely ever get a high end mascara, simply because drugstore mascara's are just as nice. Recently, my friend recommended this Essence lash princess mascara to me.

Will it make me feel like a princess? Time to test! 

Let's talk packaging! 

I think this packaging looks quite beautiful. It's a black tube with pastel pink/salmon coloured detailing.

The cap of this mascara looks like what the back of a princesses dress would look like. I think this was a lovely idea, it looks like they really put effort in packaging.

This is what the brush looks like. It's rather thin and long.

This is what the mascara looks like on my eyes. It makes my lashes quite long and it gives nice volume as well. This mascara does everything that a mascara should do. I like it!
Cheap, good quality,... Good job Essence!

So, how's life?

Blogging is my passion. I absolutely love writing about stuff that I like, but I also like to get to know you guys through my posts.

I used to write about my week every week before the summer holidays started but I haven't kept it up. Why? My weeks pretty much look alike and after a while I didn't think Weekly Diaries were very interesting anymore. 

However, I like more personal posts and I don't want to lose touch with my readers. So, how's life?

 

The new academic year started off. I am now in my second year and so far, everything is going great! I'm hoping to become a teacher in two years, it's very exciting, but a lot of work! 

I still live on my own, which is nice, but it can get a little lonely. Just before the summer holidays I had a hard time keeping up my blogging after a break-up, but I've reflected a little bit since then and I have decided that I am too busy working for what I want in life to have a boyfriend. Even though I meet special people everyday, I haven't met anyone special when it comes to love. So I am still single - I am totally at peace with that and I am a very happy girl.

Aside from all that I have been experimenting and exploring a lot. A new look: new hairdo, two new tattoos, changing the style of the blog a little (writing new kinds of posts), travelling. I feel like I still haven't found myself a hundered percent, which is fine, I've got time.

 So yeah, I'm just trying to find new passions. I'm trying to get better at what I do. But I do what I love, and I love what I do.

I hope you are doing really good as well. I hope you wake up every morning happy and grateful for the life that you lead.

At the risk of becoming a little cheesy, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my posts and visiting my blog.

I might not mention it enough, but I do appreciate and love all of you.

Have a nice day!

OOTD: Camp Nou

Happy Thursday! 

 Today I have one of the last posts concerning Barcelona for you! This outfit of the day was shot about a month ago when I was in Barcelona.

 

We visited Camp Nou, a football stadion in Barcelona, and of course I wanted some pictures! My outfit of the day is quite simple. It has a bit of a vintage/pin-up feel to it, thanks to my striped shirt and high waist shorts. It's been a really long time since I've had the chance to wear these, but everytime I do, it makes me feel so happy.

White is the main colour in this outfit - I've had a bit of an obsession with white recently.

My shirt is by H&M. Although it's a basic, I'm absolutely crazy about it. It's one of my favourite items. My shorts and shoes are both by New Look. The purse in this post is by Primark.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Catrice Sun Glow bronzer review!

Fall is in town and I'm desperately trying to keep my tan. After running out of bronzer this summer, I decided to try this new one by Catrice. Catrice is a brand that doesn't disappoint me very often, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I got both "020 deep bronze" and "030 medium bronze". I actually thought "medium bronze" would be the lightest colour, but that's not the case. It's the other way around.

Let's start with packaging. The bronzer looks pretty simple, it's packed in shiny grey plastic, exept the top is see through.

I'm quite happy with this bronzer. The pigment is good and "020 deep bronze" is a good match for my skin. When I contour, it still look natural instead of orange and fake. I like! 

I used "020 deep bronze" in the pictures below. I'm pretty satisfied with the way it looks on my skin.

What do you think? Do you use some kind of bronzer, if so, which one?

Have a nice day! Until next time!
