Just some pictures



Just some random pictures that I want to share with you. This week I was most of the time studying so I got bored and took some photos.
The picture of me on my bike I took on a very lovely day. The sun was finally shining and I immediately felt happy.

Redredred

Today I wanted to play with my make-up a little. I took the Burning Heart palette, and I wanted to make an eyelook with the red color.
This is how the look looked, haha!
As a base I used a white eyepencil by GOSH and I applied the red eyeshadow (Love +) of the Burning Heart palette. I applied a black color (Diamond Black by MUFE) in the crease and the outer V of the eyelid. And at the edges of the black I applied a purple eyeshadow (Poison Plum). The eyeliner is Mac blacktrack and the mascara is Sephora's lash stretcher

A short post this time, but I don't have a lot to tell ;)

On saturday I had to go to the city because I needed a present for Hannah. So I took my sister with me. It was really nice because I don't see her that much since she is studying in Nijmegen. We went to the H&M (where I bought THE shirt) and other shops. And at the end we sat down in the Douwe Egberts where we had a latte and food.

We also went to the six where I saw these glasess. Pretty nice, I think. But I'm not going to buy them because I saw another one. That one was cooler!

Sweetysweety

Yesterday evening I already tried the Sugarpill palettes a little. But the looks didn't turn out very well, so I decided to start over today and I like the finished look :) on the picture above, my eyes look a little sad because of the pink, but in real life it looks nice haha. This was my inspiration; http://www.beautytreat.nl/?p=7622 I liked her look, but the pink eyebrows were a little too much for me, haha! So this is what I came up with;


I started with a base, this time I used an eyepencil by Sephora in 03 pure white. I like to use a white eyepencil because it makes the eyeshadow appears brighter. I started to apply Midori (green) all over my eyelid and in my crease. I also applied Afterparty (blue) in my crease and I blended those two together. Than I decided to add a pigment (loose eyeshadow powder) by coastal scents in Spirit (green with gold shimmer). I applied Dollipop (pink) underneath my eyes and in the inner corner of my eyes I applied Tako (white) which I also used under my eyebrow and at the end of the blue/green color to give it a soft edge. And I lined my eyes with Make-Up Forever's 307 Diamond Black and I finished the eyes off with mascara.

On my lips I used two products. First I applied NYX Round lipstick in Spellbound. On top of that I applied my OCC lip tar in Pageant, which is a very bright pink lipgloss. On the photo it doesn't look that bright, but I can tell you; it's bright!

Because of the bright lips and eyes I didn't use a very bright blush. I used a light peachy blush by Catrice in 110 Coral Sand. And I also contoured my cheeks a little with a brown contouring powder :)

That was everything I guess. I have to say; I already fell in love with my Sugarpill stuffies! :) I like them a lot, and they are awesome. The shadows are bright, good pigmentated, very well to blend and they stay for a long long long time! Wauww,

Burning Heart and Sweet Heart

I'm obsessed with eyeshadows, especially the bright colors. So it wasn't very strange that I totally fell in love with Sugarpill Cosmetics. Sugarpill is designed by an ex-seller of Kryolan, which is a theatre make-up brand with lots of bright colors with a super pigmentation! She was inspired by the brightness of the Kryolan colors and she wanted to develop bright colors which would stay the whole day and were not very ordinary but wearable. Sugarpill was born!

Wednesday I saw that there was a -15% discount on the Sugarpill eyeshadows at boozyshop.nl
I already wanted two of the palettes, and this was my change! Normally a palette is sold for €34,95 and now it was only €29,70! It was for sure that I had to buy them ;)

So, I bought two palettes: Burning Heart and Sweet Heart. There is also a third palette, which is called Cold Heart. I didn't bought that because there are 3 of the 4 colors already in the other palettes, so I would only miss the black color and I could live with that! Because I already have a good black eyeshadow by Make-Up Forever, so that palette wasn't necessary for me!
Burning Heart:
As you can see there are 4 colors in the packaging. They look very matte, but when I took the photo's I saw a little shimmer in the red and purple color. But it wasn't very much, so I guess the colors will appaer matte on the eye.

Flamepoint is the name of the orange color. It's not a cooltone orange, but more a warmtone. The pigmentation of the color is awesome and it also blends very well.
Buttercupcake is the name of the yellow color. Again, it's not a cooltone yellow, but there is a warmtone in it. What I really like, because I already have a cooltone yellow eyeshadow, but I didn't have a warmtoned one!
Love+ is the name of the red color. This color has a little little little shimmer in it, but when I swatch it it's matte. It's very rare to find a good pigmentated red eyeshadow, so if you're looking for one, I definitely recommend this color!
Poison Plum is the purple color. I heard a lot of good things about this color, it has to be the greatest purple ever. And I can say you, it is! With one little touch on the eyeshadow your whole finger appears purple, in a possitive way!
Sweet Heart;
This palette is definitely sweeter than the other palette. But there is nothing wrong with the pigmentation, which is still aaaaamazing! Just like Burning Heart it has a shimmer turned color on the photo's, but in real life I can't see it when I swatch it. But the green color looks a little shimmery.

Dollipop is the pink color. And normally I don't like pink eyeshadows, because most of the time they make my eyes sad. But this color is great! It's the pinkished pink you've ever seen, and again with one touch your finger will be totally pink, I like it:)
Afterparty is the blue color. Afterparty is a unique color. It is a mix and match between dark and light blue. You can build it up very well so you can make it as blue as you want, what is very nice!
Midori is the green color. And this is also a very unique color. I've never seen a green like that, and I'm sure I will use it a lot.
Tako is the white color. This is a really white white. Whiter than this you won't find I guess. Also a very pigmentated and matte color!

I'm very happy with this palettes. And the colors are amaaaazing! The pigmentation is great, and you definitely get the color in the pans on your eyes. The pans are so big and you need a little for a good result, so I can use this palettes forever!! I like a lot, and I definitely can recommend this shadows if you want to have bright and good colors :)

New H&M



The same day we shot the pictures, me and Maartje also went to the City. That was mainly because we wanted to check out the new and improved H&M in 's-Hertogenbosch. It wasn't totally finished but there already were new fitting rooms. I tried some things on,

first I tried the harem pants on. I really love harem pants because they are just very comfortable and they look nice with flip flops but also with heels. I didn't buy it because I don't have that much money but I like it!

Then I tried on a white blazer. Normally I wear black blazers so this was just something different. I really like it but you could see my tanktop through the blazer and then for 25 euros... It's a little too much I think.

I also tried some kind of tanktop but then with two layers. Out of the three things I tried on, I liked this one the most. I think it matches my skintone very well and there is just a lot of volume in it.

Also saw some amazing shoes that I really want to have. But I'm just waiting until I get my pocket money so that I can buy them.
