Wanna make this

Pictures from: Julia Minamata

This girl did the greatest job in drawing her entire make-up stash. She even used the actual color of it on the paper, so it's the real deal lol. I love it and when i've got more time then i have now, i'll definitely give it a shot! 

At the moment i'm struggling with my graduation project. It's closer and closer till the deadline. I'm a hermit, I don't even dare to leave my home these days. 

Nail art: Monarch Butterfly

My project for hours, yesterday i saw this tutorial how to make Monarch Butterfly nails & decided to give it a try!
I used Kiko nail polish (orange), Essence nail art pen (black) and for the dots Catrice nail polish (in 470-Snow Motion!).

Hola Santa

In case you have a hard time finding a present for me, this MUFE Aqua Cream set á 175$ will do :)

Some new stuff

Finally i found a store where Essence's budget version of OPI's crack polish wasn't sold out! My first try today with yellow nail polish underneath failed, so better luck next time..
Also i got these NYC products with discount coupons. Had to bring some old make-up to the store & then i could trade it for a product of the NYC line. Freebies are the best : D

Gotcha!

check out Iron Mermaiden's cool color effect on the bottom

This week Catrice has introduced about 19 new colors, so for sure the hunting season is open again!
I've chosen two new colors (410 - Pool Party At Night & 490 - Iron Mermaiden) and the prismatic effects topcoat. Guess i'm gonna try this topcoat tomorrow to spice up my red nails.
Oh no.... already feel the need to buy more of them brothers and sisters to join my precious collection..

PS. I really really really need a big nail polish display. NOW

Catrice on top

Catrice is doing sooo well since they've launched their Ultimate Nail Lacquer line in March 2010. I bet the company members are so happy at the moment, because every single thing they make seems to be popular!
Their whole collection looks nice, complete with Shu Uemura inspired eyeshadows & cheap nail polishes in almost every color you can imagine. I need to have some new stuff asap!

Sephora 2010 - part 2

Sephora @ Prijzencircus always hits me. Here are my older weakness confessions: September 2009 & March 2010

Nail paint by Barry M

Bought this Barry M nail polish (291 Cobalt Blue) in London, together with a light blue. I like the polish very much: fast-drying, strong color, good coverage! What else do you need?

I had a feeling

Yesterday i wanted to have a new perfume without knowing which one. After googling 'nd surfing a lot while checking reviews, base notes, olfactive groups blahblah i thought i found my new perfume, Obsession Night by Calvin Klein. I went to the store but unfortunately they didn't have that one in stock. Too bad.

Next step was just wondering around which one i  might also like when Paco Rabanne's Lady Million caught my eye. Never smelled it before but somehow it triggered me everytime. And i bought it! Have to say i'm not in love with the heavy gold but yeah i like the smell & it looks better than Avril Lavigne's Black Star lol.
It's kinda like a belated birthday present because i paid the biggest part with gift vouchers i got...bonuss

Hysteric glitterrrrr

super close-up of my thumb lol xD

Last week i bought my firrrrst... OPI nail polish!

As you see it's one of the glitters out of the Alice in Wonderland-collection, that's called Mad As A Hatter. Read several positive reviews about this nail polish, so when i saw it last week during shopping in Rotterdam i decided to buy this precious immediately! Couldn't help it, who knows it's gone next week?!  

On the pics above i wear Mad As A Hatter on a black Catrice nail polish (320 Back To Black).

HEMA Jip & Janneke vs. MAC Hello Kitty

Today i was at the Dutch store HEMA (sells all kinda home stuff, from cotton pads to candles) that launched a limited make-up collection featuring Jip & Janneke. They are a fictional drawed boy & girl who appear in Dutch books for children, but also on shirts, pens, stickers etcetera.
I haven't bought any of the make-up yet, but liked the silver nail polish much. It looks so cute!

But that wasn't my point today. I was looking at the Jip & Janneke collection when i immediately recognized the similarities with MAC's past Hello Kitty collection. Of course the quality isn't the same, but HEMA did a well job copying MAC's style!
Wouldn't be amused when i was from MAC, but as a normal customer i'm quite happy with HEMA leaving his old style slowly.

240 - Sold out forever

Here in Holland the well-known dupe of Chanel Jade nail polish.. as you see this one is from Catrice.

Color by numbers

A month ago Topshop launched this beautiful looking range of make-up! I love the look, i want it all!
I'm only wondering if the collection has a good quality, because it's the first cosmetic line Topshop ever made..

Matte mateys

C01 - Pebble Beach (limited edition)

080 - Let's Talk About Barrie!

Pebble Beach from the first pic i wore couple of days ago & is
a matte finish nail polish itself. It's a pretty strange color although i liked it. Today i'm wearing the second one, which is normally shiny but i used it in combination with the matte topcoat from Hema.
I don't know what finish i like most, but i think matte is a nice change from all those shiny nail polishes. 

Create your own drug store

This time my mum & i are obsessed with Catrice nail polish. 
Great colors, great price. Especially when they're in sale like last week, one bottle for only €1,24 !!

what colors do we have.. which one do we still need? 

all the Catrice brothers & sisters together hehehe (we have about 25 out of 32, collect them all!)

Sea You, London Birds!

010 - Don't Feed The Birds

280 - London's Weather Forecast

250 - I Sea You! 

As i promised in my last post about Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer, i bought some new ones this week!

Don't know, i just can't resist them plus they look so cute together.. hehe reason enough if you ask me ;p
It makes me wanna wear other colors everyday, but they last pretty long so it's a bit of a waste to put another color on each day! This turquoise I Sea You! looks fresh & tropical, i bet it looks great with the Hawaiian flower dress i don't have hehe.

♥Ikea

Today i bought this incredible cosmetic organiser @ Ikea.
It has several compartments, to store your nail polish or lipbalms & stuff. Also you can put the compartment with the yellow foundation brush etcetera upwards, to place more stuff underneath. I'm really in loveee with this!
The fun already started when i was buying it, but at home it was like yeaahhhh put everything in! Happy happy happy!

Crazyness @ Bijenkorf Rotterdam

Some clothes + Clinique eyeshadow + Lancôme juicy tube for only €12,50 !

Today there was a crazy "unknown" sale @ Bijenkorf, where all kind of products were 4 for 10€.
They had  made some special place for it but it was still superrr crowded. Although better than years before, when i had to wait for 2,5 hours in a small hot space. Die hard....

Peach & Dawn

170 - I Scream Peach!

200 - From Dusk To Dawn

Time for some new nail polishes! I bought two pieces of the new collection from Catrice: Ultimate Nail Lacquer today.
I tried From Dusk To Dawn, a greyish taupe color & it's nice!
Okay, i love the weirdest colors but about the product: i used 2 layers and it dried very fast. Price: €2,50
Awesome price, soon i'm gonna buy some more...
