OOTD: Tag me!

Hello everyone! How are you doing?
January really is a month full of exams. About twice a week, we have exams, so aside from getting ready to go to school, I don't have a lot of time to do my make-up, let alone experimenting with it. That's one of the reasons I've been uploading quite a few outfit of the day pictures. Also, I have gotten some inspiration for locations recently, which is always fun!

Could I have looked worse in this picture? I don't know!

We just started shooting pictures at this beautiful location with very nice grafitti art, when a cat welcomed us. She wouldn't leave us alone and followed us around the whole time we were there. She was so cute!

Today's sweater is the very glittery "Elfie Selfie" sweater that Katy Perry designed for H&M. When I first saw it, it made me giggle so much, that's why I got it. I think Katy Perry can be a very cheesy person and I absolutely love it. Underneith, I wore a pastel yellow button down shirt by New Look.
My pants are by H&M as well.

Thanks for reading! 

Let me know what you think about this outfit! 

January empties!

Hello everyone! January is finished and so are some of my make-up items. Some months I have no empties and some months I have quite a few, like this month. Most of them are face products.

To start off I have a product that I think I will finish in the next week. It's my Catrice All Matt Plus shine control foundation. This is one heck of a nice budget foundation. Loved it! I have another foundation already but I think I might actually repurchase this foundation later.

Another product by Catrice that I most definitely will repurchase: their camouflage cream. This product is the best concealer in the budget departement. High coverage, low price. Got to love it!

Another concealer that I finished is my Essence match 2 cover concealer. I'm using the last few leftovers that I can get to, to shape my eyebrows or shape my face. I liked this concealer, but not as much as the Catrice concealer.

I also finished the left side of my ELF eyebrow kit. I know there is some product left in the corners but I can't get to it with my brush. For now I'm just using the powder (on the right) but as you can see, I'm going through that rather quickly as well! I loved this product and I will for sure repurchase!

That's it! Thanks for reading! 

Make someone smile today :)

Januari favourites

The first month of 2014 is over already. Can you believe it? Time goes so fast!

January has been a month full of hard work and beauty favourites. The hard work is not something I like to write about, beauty favourites are. Take a peek?

Ever since I got this palette back in October, I believe, I've been using -and loving- it. I can only use a palette for months in a row if I really really like it. When it comes to my Nude 'Tude palette by the balm, there isn't one thing I don't like. I know you're probably getting bored of hearing me say this but it's the truth.

I have also "discovered" something new. I've seen a picture on Tumblr of a girl with heart shaped lips. I saw it a long time ago, it must have been a year ago already (or longer maybe).
Just now I decided to try it. And I fell in love with it. I can't wait for spring and summer to come back, I'm pretty sure this will be my signature look.

My favourite lipstick of the month, the one I use to create the heart shaped lips, is "Russian Red" by MAC.

Back in August I went to the MAC store for the very first time. I got a couple of makeup items that I loved. However, I didn't use them often because I didn't want to hit pan. I wanted the eyeshadow product to last.
Seeing it just sit on my vanity over the last few months was a bit sad, I mean, when you spend so much money on a product, you would want to use it, right? So I did. I found a video online (totally coincidential) where a girl used this colour and I recreated it rightaway. Eversince, this has been one of my go to beauty looks. The name of this eyeshadow is "Texture", by the way!

Another product that I have been loving this month is my Color Tattoo by Maybelline. This one is called "Permanent Taupe". I'm guessing I don't need to explain why I love this!

H&M has totally surprised me with this eyeshadow trio! Beautiful colours for everyday and so appropriate for work or school. It's also tiny, which means you can just throw it in your purse and touch up your makeup later. Oh,and it's so cheap!

Last but not least I have my products by The Body Shop. Lipbalm, shower gel and body butter.
All of them have helped me take care of my body in this cold weather and ah.... I can't explain how attached I have gotten!

Which items have you been loving lately?
Thanks for reading!

January empties

I have emptied quite a few products last month. A few makeup/beauty products as well, which is always good because that means my challenge will end soon and I'll get to buy new products.
I have finished a lot of my daily products and I noticed I didn't have a back up so now I'm here without my essentials, which is a pity. Anyways, here is an overview of the products I've emptied last month.

Two jars of makeup removal pads. It's not like I wear so much makeup that I need a lot of removal pads to take off my makeup at night, it's just that I started both my jars at thesame time so I had no control over when I was going to run out of my pads. And of course, just when you need them the most, you realize you have finished both jars at thesame time. Yup, that's what happened to me.

I have finished two foundations; my drugstore foundation which was a replacement for the foundation I originally used: "L'Oréal True Match" foundation.
I also finished a lip balm by Sence. I had been using this one a lot, the wintertime hasn't exactly been good for my lips. I loved this lipbalm!

Last I also finished three products that I recieved in my "Deauty box". The products were a biotherm Blue Therapy Serum, the L'Oréal Youth Code Luminizer and the bee nature shower milk.
I was very happy about the first and the last product, but the youth code luminizer wasn't really my thing. I didn't notice any difference so....

Those were the products I emptied this month!
