Belgium August 2014

2014-09-01T06:00:00.000+02:00

Last week Monday I went to Belgium to visit family, of course, I went shopping. I was there for 4 days and I didn't really buy very much (since I had to carry it with me on my way back home).
I did, however, buy some stuff that I'm very excited about to use!

Back Up Lash Curler + Kiko Supergloss Dupe?

2014-08-31T06:00:00.000+02:00

As you all may or may not know, I moved out of my parents' house in February this year. Through the week I stay in the place I rent and during the weekends and holidays I stay at my parents' house (home;).
This means I have to take things up and down with me all the time. I kept up with it for a pretty long time, but lately I'm starting to forget a lot of things, which 'forces' me to buy back ups of products, in case I forget to take it with me.

Labello Pure & Natural in Mint & Minerals

2014-08-30T06:00:00.000+02:00

Yup, it's that time again. My lips are chapped so bad and it seems like nothing helps (or I don't put enough lip balm on). They also hurt because they're on the edge of bleeding (yeah, it's pretty bad). A while ago I bought this one, but never used it, because I wanted to wait until I finished another lip balm. I remembered I had this in my cupboard and wanted to try it out. I hoped that the mint in it would extinguish the fire burning on my lips..

Lush Mini Haul

2014-08-27T06:00:00.000+02:00

Last week saturday I went to Utrecht with my Mum. I wanted to go to Lush since my Tea Tree Water is running low and I wanted to buy a new bottle. I recently rediscovered it and I remember why I loved it. I don't really know why I stopped using it actually, but my skin was getting bad (as in, redness, dry) and I started to use the toner again before I applied my moisturizer and after a few day I saw my skin was getting less red and much more smoother.
Anyway, moving on to the mini haul!

NOTD Essie Snap Happy ft Leading Lady

2014-08-25T06:00:00.000+02:00

Wow, it's been a while! Hope you all do well :). Anyway, today a NOTD. I usually don't wear red that much (lips, nails, clothes), but as red is a classic nail polish color, I felt like I had to wear it al least once.

Guess What?!

Hi guys!

I know I've been MIA lately, but there's a reason for that. I started to go to college! Since February. Yay.
I passed my Physics exam what meant that the ticket to college was in! It's a very new experience for me. I moved out of my parent's house, which made it feel like life was about to begin.
As if past year was the last year that I'll live with my parents.
It hard to explain what I really mean, but it pretty much feels like growing up.

More about that later, I have lots of homework to do for tomorrow!
Hope you all have a nice day!

Love,

Anna

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

2014-01-24T18:57:00.001+01:00

With my lips still dried out and almost cracking I am in huge need of a lifesaver, or, actually, a lipsaver. Everytime I try to smile my lip is on the edge of bursting open, which is very painful. I tried my organic lipbalm, but that's not really a great SOS-lipbalm, it's more suitable for, let's say, maintenance. I had one Maybelline Baby Lips balm lying around and I decided it's time to try that baby out!

Essence Gel Tint

2014-01-16T17:17:00.001+01:00

Most of the time I'm in a rush. I don't even have time to apply something on my lips in the morning or touch up from time to time. That's why I love lip stains, they're supposed to last a long time, because they stain your lips and what I like about it most is that it doesn't leave a trace of lipstick or -gloss when you're drinking from a cup or bottle, also, your hair won't stick to your lips if the weather outside is windy and your hair is swooping all over the place.

Recipe: Meringues

2014-01-15T18:05:00.001+01:00

Today a recipe: meringues! For those who don't know what it is: it's basically a kind of (edible) hardened foam made out of eggs and sugar. Very easy and fun to make and very yummy to eat!
I love baking stuff when I'm bored, when you're finished you'll have something to eat and you have something to do when you're bored. Keep on reading for some pictures of my creations and of course, the recipe!

Hard-to-Combine Shoes

2014-01-12T19:17:00.001+01:00

A while ago I bought these shoes. I thought they were pretty cute with the laces and that they're "closed" shoes, not that open like pumps. Most of the time I wear pumps and not these ankleboots(?). I don't really know how to call them. I actually barely wear them, because I find them hard to combine. Most of the time I wear jeans or leggings and these jeans or leggings obviously stop at the end of my leg, what causes a small part of my skin being visible. Not that I don't want any piece of skin covered, but I like the way it looks when you're wearing tights. Like it's one entirety. That's why I think these shoes are hard to combine with my pants. I still love them, though!

If you have any tips on how to wear these shoes, please do tell :-)

It's very hard to capture the color of these shoes, especially in this light (I really don't like the way colors turn out in this light, oh well), but it's somewhere between the colors of these two pictures.
What do you think about this kind of shoes? Yay or nay?

Organic Lipbalm With Camelina Oil

2014-01-09T19:32:00.000+01:00

A few weeks ago you might have seen this one popping by (click!). Since the weather is cold outside and I'm getting a kind of cold, what forces me to breathe through my mouth when I sleep, my lips tend to dry out. The last few days I used whatever I could find on my lips. Well, what seemed suitable anyway. I decided to try out on of my new lipbalms!

DIY Make Your Own Dip Nail Polish Remover!

2014-01-08T22:56:00.001+01:00

I love DIYs; I love to 'experiment' like making lipblams and stuff. A few days ago I made a jar with nailpolishremover, the one where you can stick your finger in, wiggle it and your nail is free from nailpolish. I always wanted to try one out, but never bought one, because I always had some nailpolishremover in stock. I decided to make one myself a few days ago!

Perfumefree Nightcream by Kruidvat

2014-01-07T17:01:00.000+01:00

First of all I want to wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year! Hope you had a good one. Yesterday I went for a little shopping, actually I went windowshopping. I didn't really need anything but a night cream, since the one I'm using is almost done. My skin is very dry and irritated lately, so I wanted to try an extra nourishing one. So I went to 'Kruidvat', a Dutch drugstore. I found this one, which is perfumefree and from their own brand. I happen to own the daycream version of this one, so I got the nightcream too now!

What To Do About Clogged Pores Or Blackheads

2013-11-05T23:53:00.000+01:00

We all want that pure porcelain looking face. Nobody wants clogged pores that ruines your silky smooth skin. Today I'll share a few tips with you about how to fight them and keep them tamed.

A few years ago I had (huge) clogged pores on my nose. Not pretty. It really made me feel insecure about myself, because it looked, well, gross (my opinion). It was summer and my face gets greasy easily with hot weather, so it was only getting worse. Those nosepads which will pull out the thingies in your pores only helped for a while: the next day they were visible again and when I got home in the evening it was just as worse as it was before I used the nosepads. When I ran my finger over my nose I could feel them. Yikes, right?

Now they are reduced so much and I almost don't have to worry about them anymore! Keep on reading to find out how I did it.

November 3rd

2013-11-03T23:55:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone! Hope you had a wonderful day. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that there will be no post today. I just landed in my bed after a day full of coziness. Tomorrow it's my mom's birthday and we kind of celebrated it today. So I had no time making a post, I didn't plan anything in my posts for today either :(. Maybe I can entertain you with my personal blog? It's not much, but it's something.

Alverde Macadamianut & Sheabutter Body Butter

2013-11-02T23:45:00.000+01:00

Last year in Frankfurt I went to the DM. It's a German drugstore and I was blown away by it! Dutch drugstores are close to nothing compared to German drugstores. Because Germany is a much bigger country, drugstores have a bigger 'reach' if you know what I mean. So when they launch a new product the public they present it to is much bigger than the public in the Netherlands. In Germany there are a lot of organic cosmetics. Alverde is one of the many. It's a brand from the drugstore called DM. I got this because the packaging says that it's the number 1 in most sold organic brand. I was wondering if it was a real buttery body butter and not a more lotion-ish one (those are kind of disappointing:( ). Will it make my skin soft? For less than 3 EUR? You'll read it after the click!

Lancôme L'Absolu Nu Lipstick

2013-11-01T01:17:00.000+01:00

As you might know I love make-up. I don't know why, but it fascinates me: the way packaging looks, how different the prices can be, you name it. When I get in to a store where they sell high end cosmetics, my brain crashes and I'm in heaven. Today I'll show you my very first and my very own (by which I mean one I didn't steal from my mom) high end lovely, yummy, beautiful lipstick from Lancôme!

OPI My Chihuahua Bites!

2013-10-30T17:06:00.001+01:00

Today a hot pink on my nails. I wore it in the summer and it is a perfect summery color! I really get that summerfeeling when I look at my nails with a few coats of this color, but unfortunately summer is over. But hey, nothing wrong with reminiscing right?
