When I saw this skirt from COS a couple months ago, I didn't buy it. I also had seen another skirt in the COS store in Antwerp in red and I was really doubting which one I would buy. But I didn't buy it because I already had enough skirts in my closet hanging. When I saw they still sold it online this month, I immediately bought it. Because it has such a great color and the other skirt they didn't sell online.

I am also wearing my Tiany Kiriloff for Vero Moda coat, which is very warm en were I got a lot of compliments. Also I am wearing my Tiany Kiriloff jacket, because it's a great color which really matches with my skin tone (for this one I also got a lot of compliments!).

Versace x H&M: My Buys

2011-12-28T18:55:00.007+01:00

Finally I can show you my buys from Versace x H&M. I know it's late but I finally had the time to make some pictures from my buys.

When I was in Maastricht for the collection I was by the first group to choose from everything they had. I was there at 6.30 AM. They had almost everything from Versace for H&M, so I was really happy about it that I could score everything what I want. I went not to Hasselt, because last year I went there for the Lanvin x H&M but they hadn't the coat that I wanted. I bought the green blue scarf, the heart printed bag, the red ring and the necklace with the logo from Versace.

As we were waiting outside we get the Dutch Grazia from that week for free and they also handed out some coffee or tea. So that we all could bare the cold.

Here are the pictures. Hope you enjoy it!

Review: Too Faced “Sweet Dreams” Makeup Collection

2011-12-12T15:47:00.007+01:00

When I saw this new palette from Too Faced, I was really excited. I really love the palettes from Too Faced, so i really needed this one too.

The set contains 15 eyeshadows, a bronzer, a highlighter, 2 blushes, instructions cards and a Primer.

When I first opened it, my first reaction was: 'wow'. I think it's a really gorgeous palette, but it's so big and the edges could easily break. My first thoughts about the eyeshadows where that they're used again different colors, in order to the one from 2010 (which I didn't bought because there were too much white and dark colors.). The eyeshadows are also high pigmented. Also the blushes and bronzers are really good.

The negative I find about this palette is that there no compartment is for the primer, it was in the box, on top of the palette and that there are no lip glosses in it.

In the Buff - Peach Fuzz - Copper Peony - Today Bear - Lovely Dovey

Satin Sheets - Cut the Cake - Party Girl - Nice Ash - Smolder

Honeymoon - Label Whore - Nice Stems! - Cop a Teal - First Dance

Chocolate Soleil - Candlelight Glow - Cocoa Rose - Sweet Pink

The palette cost 49 euros/ 52 dollar. It's available in Sephora stores and on the Amercian website from Sephora.

Review: Harajuku Lovers Fragrances: G of the Sea

2011-10-21T17:10:00.015+02:00

Today I'm going to talk about the fragrance G of the Sea from the Harajuku Lovers Collection.
The Harajuku lovers collection has 18 fragrances in their range. She has also her own fragrance from her label L.A.M.B. and it's called L.

The Harajuku Lovers Collection is based on the Japanese street fashion and youth culture. The fragrances are recognized by the kawaii or "adorableness" of the packaging. The G in the collection represents Stefani and her four back-up dancers - Love, Angel, Music and Baby.

I already had the previous fragrances in sets from the label and this one, G of the Sea, of course. The only I didn't have are the new fragrance 'Jingle G" and "Super G" (I didn't like the packaging of this one).

G of the Sea is a floral woody musk fragrance.

Top notes are red apple, wild berries and water lily.
Middle notes are jasmine, freesia and peony.
Base notes are woodsy notes, amber and musk.

My opinion about is that it first smell likes citron and afterwards it smells like flowers
It would be great for yourself to wear it on a first date.
