Pin-up make-up tutorial

Hey you guys! How are you doing?

I have another video for you today! 

 

I actually recorded this look three times! The first time I was out of focus the whole time, the second time I wanted to film tutorial style, I was sharing tips and tricks but then there was a memory card error and the footage disappeared.

However, I recorded it again, edited it and now it's online.

This  look is my pin-up make-up look. If you've been following my blog, you might have seen my pin-up outfits. This is always the look that I go for when I'm wearing one of those outfits because it's simple, neutral but classy.

I hope you like this video. Please subscribe if you'd like!

OOTD: Pastel Perfect

Hello everyone!
How have you guys been doing? Today I have an outfit of the day for you! I actually wore this outfit last week, when the weather was still good.
Right now, there's a whole lot of rain, a lot of thunder and lightening (which I'm not a big fan of... like, AT ALL) so I'll probably have to stop wearing skirts and dresses for a while.

Anyway, in this outfit I'm wearing I have on a burgundy T-shirt that you (unfortunately) can't see. Over top, I'm wearing a white cardigan. I paired that with my pastel blue skirt (which also has burgundy, light pink and green details in it) and my light beige ballet flats.

OOTD: Parrot ♥

Hello everyone! How have you been doing?

Once again, I have an outfit of the day post for you guys. I know this is not as much fun as it used to be because you always see thesame white wall in the background,
but I don't have my "photographer" (aka sister) here with me now that I live alone and I can't go outside and put my camera on timer because I'm pretty sure it'd get stolen while I wast trying to take a picture.

 

Okay so today I wore a babyblue dress with parrots on it. This is a halter dress, which is perfect for this kind of weather, it's still quite hot outside!

I got it online (on Topvintage.nl).

I put my beige cardigan over it. This one is from H&M. I tied it in a knot so it wouldn't be too long and take away the "wow" effect of my dress. I quite like how this turned out to be honest! My nude ballet flats are by H&M as well. My watch is from New Look. 

 

I like this look a lot, what do you think about it?

OOTD: Swinging!

Hello everyone! 

How have you been holding up?

It's getting colder and colder here in Belgium, but I can't give up on skirts and dresses just yet! This outfit of the day is one that I wore last week, during my very first "real" week of school! 

 As with my first outfit during the introduction week, I was doubting if I should wear this.

I come from high school and in high school people are very judgemental, not that I have a problem with that, I have a problem with their need to put you down.

Anyway, I decided to just go for it and again - I got zero negativity!

I'm a huge fan of this skirt, I love it so much! I got it online on Topvintage.nl

My T-shirt is by H&M, as well as the bun and the flowers in my hair! 

Thanks for reading!

OOTD: First day of school!

Hello everyone!
I've had a good and a long summer, but school has started up for me as well!
This new schoolyear brought a lot of excitement, but this "first day of school outfit" made me freak out a little. I didn't know if I wanted to wear jeans, or go for my pin-up outfit - which would probably make me look like "the weird kid". It's something I have always struggled with and I will probably continue to struggle with it. It isn't easy.

But I thought I should be loyal to myself. There's no point in waiting, there's no point in crawling in a hole, because I know that if I crawl in a hole, I'll never come out of it.
So dispite fear or anxiety, I decided I should just give it a try.... Here's my outfit!

The weather was crazy, it was so hot outside!
I put on one of my favourite skirts by Hell Bunny (pin-up brand ♥). My watch is by New Look. The flowers in my hair, my bun, my shoes, my T-shirt (and a grey cardigan that's not in the picture) are by H&M.

What do you think of this outfit?

Thanks so much for reading today!

Have a good day!

OOTD: Spring is coming!

Hello everyone! 

Spring is here and I'm so excited, it's so nice and warm outside. Time for dresses again! I have a little outfit of the day for you. I took this pictures in the house before I went to a friend to celebrate his birthday.

 

I got my dress from Topvintage. I have said it before and I will say it again: I love their dresses. They are so  comfortable and beautiful! Oh, and also very va-va-voom! 

I put a few flowers in my hair for more pin-up "feel", these are by H&M. My make-up is based on this tutorial (click here) and my lipstick is "Russian Red" by MAC.

I love this look! 

Thanks for reading! 

 

OOTD: Chin up, pin-up!

Happy Saturday! 

Here I am with an outfit post, finally. I had to do some grocery shopping today and I figured I'd wear one of my swing dresses again, it's been a long time! The swing dress is from Topvintage (and so are my shoes) and my shirt is by H&M. I love the colour!

I added pearl earrings and a little elegant necklace, and of course I couldn't leave my lipstick behind! Today I'm wearing MAC's "Russian Red".

In my hair I have some flowers. I wanted to curl my hair at first but I didn't have enough time, unfortunately. The white flower is by H&M and the black one is by Claire's. My watch is by New Look.

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day!

Vintage haul part 2

This girl right here is so excited for spring and summer! Over these last few weeks, I've collected a couple of skirts and dresses (all pin-up style) that are so incredibly adorable and beautiful! I have put up a post not so long ago showing you a couple of skirts that I got, today it's time to take a peek at two other dresses that arrived!
In these pictures I'm actually wearing the dresses, they're not on my mannequin. What do you like to see most: clothes on the mannequin or clothes on me? Let me know!

Both of the dresses that I got are by Hell Bunny and they're both light blue. I really love bright colours and patterns in the spring and summer, it feels and looks refreshing in my opnion! Ok so here is the first dress (I also have a skirt with thesame pattern that you have seen in outfit posts before!).

This is the skirt with thesame pattern.

The next dress that I got is a halter dress, it's blue as well and it's got parrots on it. It's by Hell Bunny as well! They also had this kind of yellow colour that I really liked but someone got the last item just before I wanted to order it so yeah.

That's my new vintage stuff! Thanks for reading again today!

Manicure monday #1

Hello everyone! Today I have a manicure Monday for you.

As you probably know if you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm in love with the vintage/ pin-up style. 

One thing that I've wanted to try for a long time is the half moon manicure - you might know this from style icon Dita Von Teese, she wears it a lot too! I finally managed to do it one or another way! Take a look with me?

I'm wearing fake nails in these pictures, I like fake nails because my natural nails always break (they're so weak) and using stick-ons hide my nails (and can't make them break).

The colour that I used on my nails is "Do you speak love" by Essence, which is a perfect colour for winter and the holidays. I think the colour looks very classy and sassy!

What do you think?
Thanks for reading! Make a stranger smile!

OOTD: Almost Winter

Hey guys! Remember this swing dress? Today I'm back with a little outfit of the day! Even though it's getting colder and colder, I still try to wear skirts and dresses every once in a while.I decided it was time for my swing dress with flamingo's to be worn again so... Here it is! I would like to get a nice, vintage jacket that is detailled on the waist and has faux fur on it but I haven't purchased anything yet so. I think I will start collecting more winter items soon, as it's getting really cold, really fast!

Thanks for reading!

Nude 'tude eyeshadow palette review

Hi guys! If you have been following my blog these last few day, you'll know that on Friday I went to Brussels and got some new makeup while I was there. One of the items that I got is the "Nude 'tude" palette by The Balm cosmetics. When I saw this, my heart jumped a little bit - I have been looking for this since I started out with makeup, which is quite a while ago now! Even though I thought it was a little bit on the expensive side, I decided to get it. I couldn't just leave it behind, knowing I would blame myself when I got home.

I think the packaging of this palette is very beautiful. It has some soft colours and the back is used to show you what colours there are in this palette. 12 to be exact! It also included a little brush.

And this is what you see when you open the palette. Six adorabe pin-up girls that have their private parts hidden behind an eyeshadow colour. How cool is this?! I have a think for pin-up girls so I almost died when I saw this haha! Especially the pin-up girl that has the colours "sexy" and "silly" looks very pretty to me! Maybe that's because I like those colours a lot for this fall as well!



Here are the pin-up girls up close for you. I've started with the lightest colours and I will be finishing with the darkest colours. 

 The pin-up girl detailing already was a huge 'yes' for me, but what about the eyeshadows? I tried all of the colours and I can tell you that I'm not dissatisfied!

The swatches are good quality. The black eyeshadow in this palette is actually the best pigmented black I have in my entire collection!!

The eyeshadows are easy to apply, blend, and build up and even the black eyeshadow doesn't give a lot of fall out! 

With its €35 price tag (about $50), it was a rather expensive purchase, but I'm very happy with it!

Looks and tutorials are coming up soon! Have a great day!
