Natural Brown


Hey,
This is a look I made a while ago. And I wanted to show it here, and tell you what I've used. ;)
I was playing with the Sleek palette in Storm, so most of the colors on my eyes are from that palette!


What I've used on my eyes;
- GOSH white eyepencil as a base
- Sleek Storm palette no.1 on the whole eyelid
- Sleek Storm palette no.11 in the crease and above the crease
- Sleek Storm palette no.6 in the outer V of my eye
- Sleek Storm palette no.7 in the outer V and on the outer lower lashline
- Sleek Storm palette no.2 under my eyebrow and at the teardrops of my eye
- Sleek Storm palette no.12 at the lower lashline
- Mac blacktrack gelliner at my upper lashline
- Sephora mascara

What I've used on my cheeks;
- A brown blush to contour
- Sephora Blush Me in abricot no.11
- Sephora highlighting powder in rose/pink

And what I've used on my lips;
- MNY lipgloss in 577

So that was pretty much everything! And I guess there will be more looks coming online soon,

NYX round lipsticks

Last friday a package was waiting for me to open! The NYX lipsticks were in it, and I was very curious to try them out. But I hadn't a lot of time, untill saterday evening. I swatched them out and took pictures. But it was too dark and I decided to swatch
them again, when the light would be better. So today I had enough time and

The first lipstick I tried was B52. In the packaging the color looks very dark and brown. But on my lips it looks more nude and there is a little purple undertone in it. I really like the color because my own lipcolor isn't very outstanding. And this color gives my lips more color but it's still very nude! The matte finish of the lipstick makes it also very nude. So this lipstick is definitely good to wear on a schoolday!










Next, I tried Spellbound. In the packaging it's a very bright pink color. And on my lips the color is still very bright. It is a matte color and it gives a good covering on the lips. But you've to be very carefull with the application, because it is very easy to make mistakes with a bright color like this, and it's a lot more difficult to fix those. It looks like it's a warm tone pink color, but on the lips it's more a cool tone. It is good to wear on a schoolday, if you're not afraid
to wear bright colors.


And this is Snow White. A red lipstick. I'm really curious to this color, I hope it's a nice red for me. After applying it I think they could better give a more vampy name to this lipstick. This is more a darker and warmer red than Snow White. However, I like this color. It is a great red and also has a matte finish. The application is a little difficult, because red is not easy to fix when you made a mistake. But when you apply it slowly with a steady hand it will be easier!





The next color is Hebe. Hebe is a very chic color. It is a mix between red and pinkish, a very warm color and also very classy. It isn't as bright as Snow White or Spellbound, but a lot more neutral. This color also has a little shine in it, and is easier to apply than Snow White and Spellbound. Hebe is a
color you can wear every day, it's not to bright to wear at school but it is bright enough to wear in the evening!












And the last color of today is Saturn. Saturn has, just like Hebe, a little shine in the lipstick and I really like the shine in it. It's not too much, but just very natural. It doesn't give my lips a lot more color, but it makes them looking very healthy. So this is my favourite lipstick for every day wearing, but for a night out or a party I would choose a brighter lipstick than this one.






The lipsticks are all very nice to apply, they are creamy and have a lot of pigmentation. They also cover very well, so you won't notice your own lipcolor throu
gh the lipstick. They also stay the whole day, and you can drink and eat without damaging the lipstick. I'm very pleased with the lipsticks, and I definitely will order some new lipsticks in the future!

As you can see on the photos, the weather wasn't great. But although I think we shot some beautiful pictures. We had so much fun doing this! Hope to post something like this soon!

Must have

Just recieved a mail from H&M and I saw this T-shirt and I really really like it. If I see John Lennon and Yoko Ono, I immediately think of peace. Why couldn't we just all live in peace? It would make everything much easier. I think I'm going to buy this shirt.

I love T-shirts with a message or a print. Some may think that they are boring. But I just love to combine these shirts with vests or jackets. There are so much possibilities. Here is my beloved T-shirt collection.

Just ordered new lipsticks

I'm so exited.
I just ordered my first NYX lipsticks,
and I wanted to show you which colors I picked!

I wanted to buy 6 lipsticks and the Jumbo eyepencil in Milk.
But the eyepencil was sold out, and one lipstick too. So, I have to order them another time.

Normally I don't spend my money that much on lipsticks. I'm doing more with my eyes, I always highlight my eyes and I didn't put lipstick or lipgloss on my lips at all. But I guess that has to change! I think my face will be completely finished when I put a little of product on my lips, so that's why I decided to buy some NYX lipsticks.
The NYX lipsticks aren't very expansive, and I read so much good stuff about them on the internet. So I needed to try them out.

I bought the following lipsticks ;

- First I picked the color B52. I saw some swatches on other blogs, and I was thinking; I want this!! It's a nude lipstick but I guess it will be darker than my normal lip color. In swatches the color looked very special to me, I thought I saw a little purple undertone in it. But we will see that when I swatch the color on my own lips.

- Another color is Spellbound. This is a dark pinkish color. I really needed to buy a dark pink color. Because normally I wouldn't buy it, haha. It's just that I want to expand my lipstick stash a little, and I think I need more different colors and not only light pink colors or only nude colors etc. And I was looking at some swatches and the color looked nice to me, so I bought it!

- The third color is Snow White. And no, it isn't white but red. I guess the color have to look like snow white's lips but I'm not sure about that. When I saw the swatches it looked like a red lipstick but not over-the-top red, just a warm red lipcolor which would be great with a chic pin-up look.

- The next color is Hebe. This is also a dark color pinkish brownish lipstick. Haha, I realize now that I actually ordered quit a lot dark colors, but never mind. Hebe is a fun color I guess. It looks pink, with a brown undertone in it what makes it warmer. This is also a very unique color.

- And the last color is Saturn. I really loved this color. It also is a pinkish brownish lipstick, but more lighter than Hebe. I liked how the color looked in the swatches and I hope that it will be gorgeous when I'll swatch it too!

I just can't wait untill my lipsticks will arrive. And I'm so exited to swatch the colors, to wear them and make different looks with them!
I think they will arrive within 3 or 4 days. And I just can say to you;
'If you wanna see the swatches and my thoughts about the lipsticks? Keep an eye on this website ;)'

Lynn

Let's get it started!

Oops, Lynn and Simone were stalking me to post my 'introduction' too because they couldn't wait to post some stuff... So, here it is!

My name is Maartje, I'm 17 years old and I love fashion/clothing/styling.
For I love clothes, accessories, and specially SHOES... I also love to shop. 
Further I love dancing, singing and taking care of my beloved pets.

I also love to sit down somewhere and just watch people.
Watch the way the walk, the way the dress themselves, and watch how beautiful and unique every person is. Altogether you could just say that I love people.

But so far for the basics...
I'll tell you something about my passion for clothes :)

I just asked myself this question: ''Why do I love styling, and how did this love develop? ''
And I really shouldn't know when precisely that began xD
But I do know a few things:
~ That I always ( I would almost say from  the moment I was born, but I wasn't wearing anything then, and my mother also didn't look too good xD but however..)  loved to see how people dress and I could see very fast what was 'wrong' and not...
~ That I didn't always had enough guts to wear the clothes I wanted to wear.
~ That a certain person made that I began to feel more secure and made that I dared to show how I am
~ That that period of feeling more secure made that I can be totally Me now.
~ I dare to wear what I want, and I dare to love what I wear.

Well, so far for this psychological stuff...
I love clothes, and my beloved friends Lynn and Simone and I really can't wait to share my passion witch you!

Let's get it started!
