Vanity Table

2011-07-31T13:38:00.005+02:00

I finally went to Ikea to buy my vanity table. My plan was to buy the Malm(€99,95) vanity table but they only had the white one, which doesn't match with any of my other furniture. So I decided to check some other tables/desks instead. I ended up buying a desk with a drawer(€29,95) and a drawer unit(€39,95) from the same line. The drawers are the same color as the rest of my furniture so it's

Recent Beauty Purchases

Recent Purchases from MAC, Illamasqua & Real Techniques Here is a break down of my recent beauty purchases from MAC, Illamasqua, Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman and La Roche Posay. I tested them all out already and I like them all. MAC Purchases On Monday I bought MAC Summer Shower Lipstick from the Fashion Flower Collection, Faux Gold and Hint of Sapphire Mineralize Eyeshadow from the

Update MAC Semi-Precious Collection

2011-07-09T16:23:00.004+02:00

As soon as I finished work I went to my MAC counter at Douglas to get my goodies. I was really excited and ready to swatch some eyeshadows. As you can see I bought two lipsticks, two Mineralize Blushes, the 234 brush and one Mineralize eyeshadow. My MAC Semi-precious Purchase I swatched the Mineralize Blushes in Warmth of Coral and Pressed Amber, they both looked very pigmented. They both

MAC Semi-Precious Collection

2011-07-06T20:29:00.004+02:00

When I first heard of this collection my list was really long. This collection consists of lipsticks, cremesheen glasses, mineralize blushes, mineralize skinfinishes, mineralize eyeshadows and some new brushes. It comes out this Saturday. But after seeing some swatches of the products I managed to narrow my list down. I am definitely gonna buy: Gem of Roses Lipstick - Mid-tone Strawberry Pink (

The Naked Palette

2011-06-27T22:59:00.003+02:00

So I finally got the call that Urban Decay's Naked Palette was in stock again at Sephora. I was sooo happy, I tested some of the colors, not all yet. The Naked Palette came with a small Urban Decay Primer Potion(UDPP) and a brush instead of the eye pencil. So here is my review on the colors I tested so far and also some close up pics of the palette. This is what you get Virgin is truly a

Mini Movie Review: Fast Five

2011-06-16T12:15:00.003+02:00

So I went to see Fast Five last Friday. I am a huge fan of the franchise since the first The Fast and the Furious except for Tokyo Drift, what can I say I like the original cast! I really enjoyed this movie because I think it has a good balance of action(the stunts are incredible maybe not always possible but it can be plausible, right?) and drama/romance(I'm a Brian and Mia fan!) to keep me

Fluffy

Just a little update on Fluffy being cute... All grown up! Enjoy the new week! Alexa

New nail polishes

2011-05-21T13:05:00.018+02:00

After debating whether I should buy new nail polishes online or not I took the courage and just did it. I bought 5 new nail polishes on Trans Design. And also Nailtek Foundation 2 which Misschievous says alot of good things about. And finally Seche Vite top coat, I heard so many good things about it from various people so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately when the package arrived

MAC Surf, Baby!

2011-05-18T14:10:00.000+02:00

This collection is rather large but I only bought three things. This collection has a lot of bronzers in it but I love my Guerlain bronzer too much so I will stick to it and that is why I skipped all the bronzing products. I really loved the Surf, Baby! cheek powder just for the overlay, with that being said is why I didn't buy the powder. The lipsticks I didn't really like any of the shades

Online purchases

2011-05-16T19:05:00.010+02:00

It's been a while since my last post. I took a week off from work to take care of my little brothers because my mom underwent surgery. She is doing better now. And I also had surgery to my right eyelid but I'm also way better now, I was just not looking forward to the needles. I just can't wear any eye make-up for a few weeks... But that still doesn't stop me from buying new eye make-up! Before I

MAC Jeanius Collection

2011-04-16T20:46:00.000+02:00

After work today I went to the nearest MAC counter to check out the MAC Jeanius Collection. When I reached there the Indigo Pink Lipglass was already sold out. I swatched all the lipsticks and the Pink Cult Blush. I ended up buying the Docile Lipglass. I liked Riveting Rose lipstick so maybe I will buy that later. I didn't like the nail lacquers because the glitter in them were quite obvious to

Quick Review on Missha BB Cream

2011-04-15T19:39:00.000+02:00

At first I wanted a tinted moisturizer but after testing the one by Estee Lauder, it wasn't enough coverage for me and it also was too dark for me. That is when I ordered my first bb cream on eBay, The 20 ml Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade No. 21. I read about it all over the internet and decided to purchase the 20 ml one instead of the full size 50 ml because I wasn't sure if the shade

Update MAC Quite Cute Collection

2011-04-02T21:25:00.000+02:00

I went today to the MAC counter to see the collection for myself. I ended up buying the Play Time lipstick, it has a cremesheen finish. I wanted to buy the Candy Yum Yum but I don't know how often I will be actually using it. I swatched it and loved it even more, so I decided when I go to the counter again for the Jeanius Collection if it is still there Candy Yum Yum will be mine! If it isn't

MAC Quite Cute Collection

2011-04-01T19:15:00.003+02:00

This Collection I didn't find interesting until I saw Candy Yum Yum Lipstick, I don't know if I will be able to pull it off but it looks so good in swatches and video. They start selling this collection tomorrow the 2nd of April here in the Netherlands. I want to either buy Candy Yum Yum or Playtime lipstick. I find Quite Cute looks good in the tube but I don't think it's that flattering on the

March Haul

2011-03-31T17:43:00.005+02:00

Just for fun I wanted to recap what I bought in March. I don't think I'm gonna do this every month, just now and then. The pictures aren't the best quality I took them with my blackberry... The batteries of my camera died on me. Things I bought in March From MAC I bought two items from the Wonder Woman Collection which I already described in an older post. Here are some pictures... I really

Moisturizers

2011-03-21T21:06:00.003+01:00

As I posted before I received a sample of Hope in a Jar by Philosophy when I purchased Purity Made Simple. I was hoping this would become my go to winter moisturizer because I do love Purity Made Simple. But I was wrong! When I applied the cream it stayed like on top of my skin and made my skin really oily, I was hoping my skin would just "drink" it up. But that wasn't the case. After many hours

Shopping Adventures

2011-03-06T21:29:00.000+01:00

After work I went to the MAC counter to check out the new MAC Wonder Woman Collection launched yesterday. When I got there both items I wanted appeared to be sold out because they were not in the display anymore. I regretted not calling them to ask to save the items for me. I then went over to the Bobbi Brown counter to check out the new Rich Lip Color SPF 12. I couldn't decide before which shade

Make-up books

2011-03-02T21:45:00.005+01:00

Back when I decided I wanted to do my own make-up for the weddings I had to attend I also decided to buy some books about make-up. The reason for this is that I enjoy looking at the pictures and wondered what new tips some authors had. I already owned Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin, I bought this book many years ago. After doing some research on Amazon and Google I decided last June to buy Make-up

Brushes

2011-02-27T21:39:00.007+01:00

So I decided to blog about the brushes I have and the ones that I want and why I have these. I currently own the MAC brushes 217, 219, 239, 187, 130, 129SH and the 182 - Kabuki Brush. My favourite brush for applying my foundation is the 130 and for applying MSFN powder I use the 182. I also use the kabuki if I want to lighten my blush if I picked up too much product. I bought the 129SH for

Change of plans

2011-02-25T12:34:00.003+01:00

So I was very interested in Diva in Distress eyeshadow from the Jeanius Collection because in the first promo pics it looked like it was going to be a grey eyeshadow but now after viewing swatches on Temptalia, for some reason it is blue-ish. So I am very disspointed in that, also the one lipstick I wanted to buy Riveting Rose also looks different, so I am torn. I think I will still get the

My Birthday!

2011-02-21T17:44:00.009+01:00

So today is my Birthday and I just wanted to thank my boyfriend for buying MAC Mega Metal Eyeshadow Odalisque for me! I couldn't believe it when I saw it! I am sooo happy! It is such a beautiful color! He told me that it was sold out...sneaky sneaky sneaky! I will take pictures later... Here are some pictures: MAC Mega Metal Eyeshadow in the shade Odalisque Have a great week! Alexa

MAC Peacocky Collection

2011-02-16T14:36:00.003+01:00

So for Valentine's Day my boyfriend got me 2 products from this collection! I am sooo happy that he remembered! I got Noir Plum Mega Metal Shadow and Scandelicious Kissable Lipcolour. So I tested the lipcolour, I really like the texture and the finish. It doesn't feel like a regular lipglass so that is one of the reasons I really like it. The color is darker on me than I expected but the more I

It's been a while...

2011-02-09T20:47:00.004+01:00

So it's been a while since my last post. Have been really busy at work and with school. I now have more free time so, I will try to post more often. We had a full house for the holidays! My aunt and cousin came for Christmas and New Year. They were excited to see snow for the first time since they never saw it before. My cousin would go play outside everyday... in the cold! Me and my mother

Up until now...

2010-10-30T20:46:00.001+02:00

I applied for a part time job and got it! So I am working 5 days a week. I still have to get used to it even though I only work 4 to 5 hours a day. But I have been a student for quite some time, it's time to adjust to the new experience! Up until now I am enjoying it so I hope it stays that way. Moving on... so I bought the brush guard after hearing about it from some make up guru's on youtube.

New Shoes!

2010-10-18T20:30:00.003+02:00

So today I just went to eat in the city center after I went to the dentist. That is when I decided to just pass by Zara to see their shoes, usually they always have a few that are to die for! They didn't disappoint me this time, I fell in love! The pumps I bought are so cute and quite cheap €69,95. The upper, lining and sock are all leather. I just love them! It has a hidden platform that is just
