EXAMS ARE OVER!

Hello you guys!
This day is the day that I have been waiting for for two weeks! I finally finished my exams!
I don't have my result yet, they'll call me on Wednesday if I'm not though and I'll get my report card on Thursday! I'm really excited but also a little bit nervous!
Anyways, from now on I have some extra time free to blog!

I said yesterday that maybe I would make two posts on certain days. I will be doing other stuff this summer and I will be busy so I wanted to start doing two posts on Tuesday and Thursday. For now I'm only doing those two days because I don't know how it will work out yet!

Let the summer begin! Thanks for reading (and supporting me during the exams)!

Huge book haul!

Hello you guys! 

Two more days and my exams will (finally) be over! The last few weeks I have been collecting some new books to keep myself busy during summer but I've never shown them. That's why today I decided to make a huge bookhaul! 

 

Here’s a list of the names and writers of these books:

• Sebastian Fitzek: “The eye collector”
• Asa Larsson: “Sun storm”
• Dutch, non translated book (holds two stories) Kluun: “Komt een vrouw bij de dokter” and “De weduwnaar”

Next I have a book from David Baldacci, I've never read one of his books but I'm quite excited to see if I like them. I don't know how the book is called in English but literally translated it's "Foul play". It's a thriller! 

I also got a war diary by an artist and soldier called Len Smith, who wrote from 1914-1918 about his experiences in the trenches. Over the last few years I've become very interested and fascinated with the two world wars so... I also think this book is personal and it's a good source of information. Bookreviews of these books will be up as soon as I finish them! Have you read any good books lately?

See you later! Thanks for reading! 

Kelly Brook by New Look eyeshadow palette review + makeup look!

Hello you guys! How are you doing? I hope you're all doing okay.
Today I decided to make quite a long post for you guys! I'm going to be reviewing my Kelly Brook by New Look smokey eye makeup palette that I got when I was in Paris!
I'm also going to be showing you my look that I made with this palette, and a photo tutorial will be up soon!
I hope you guys enjoy!

 

I think the packaging of this palette is really pretty. The palette was in a tiny black box with gold letters on it. I usually don't take smokey eye palettes home easily (because I don't wear dark makeup often), but this one I couldn't resist. The palette also holds some colours that I don't have yet.

 

 

The palette itself doesn't really have anything on it. It's rather boring. I was surprised to see how big the eyeshadows were though.

 

And then the makeup look... As always I want to warn you that the colours look darker in real life. I take all of my pictures in front of a window, because I always try to use natural light, but it makes the eyeshadow look more neutral. It isn't.

That's it! Thanks for reading again today!

New in: Color Magic eyeshadow kits!

Hey you guys! Last week a very cheap shop called "Action" opened in my city. Action is a store that has a big assortment, you can find everything there: they have makeup, cooking stuff, food, hair dye, home decoration,...

I went to check out there makeup products and I found these eyeshadow kits by a brand that I had never heard of before. The brand is called "Color magic". I brought home two of their eyeshadow sets.

 This is what the sets look like, I got both warm and cold colours! 

 

The "warm colors" set holds two different colour palettes. One side is green, the other side is pink (and purple). The design of the eyeshadow palettes reminds me of Dior, by the way!

  

The "cool colors" palette holds brown and blue colours...

I think these palettes look amazing! I haven't had much time to play around with them yet but I certainly will! Now, I'm curious... Have you ever heard of this brand?

Swatches and makeup looks will be up soon! Thanks for reading! 

Fashionista in the dark on Instagram

Hello you guys!
I have got some good news to share! I announced it on Facebook already yesterday, but I decided to put it on the blog as well: I got Instagram! I've been wanting it for a really long time but I couldn't put apps on my old phone. As an early birthday present, my dad gave me a smartphone (which I love) and which can open apps! I installated Instagram rightaway and I just thought I'd let you know!
