Rachel Zoe

For I've been abandoning posting the last few weeks (or is it even months?), and I'm still not having time to tell you about Paris and New York (where I've seen the Alexander McQueen exhibition, which I am dieing to tell  about) I thought it might be fair just to share some inspiration from the new Rachel Zoe you can see now on style.com
Enjoy!

 

Love, Maartje

Paris je t'aime! (2)

And that were my most beautiful pictures of Paris. I hope to see you soon!

Silverlight

I want to share this quick eyelook with you :) I wanted to try out my new Candy Glitter Liner in Silver and this is the result :

I just used 2 colors of eyeshadow. On my eyelid I  used Heaven by Too Faced and in my crease I've put Cork by MAC. I also used gelliner (blacktrack by MAC) and over that gelliner I used the glitter eyeliner. I also added some black kohlpencil on my waterline.
I've never used a glitter liner, so maybe it isn't a very decent line. But I'm going to practice more :)

Hmm, I don't know what I can tell more about the eyes. Oh, I used the NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk as a base for my eyeshadows. I always use a base underneath my eyeshadows, otherwise the shadows will crease and smudge through the day and that do we want to prevent!

That's pretty much all I want to tell today, I hope you liked it!

Order from cherryculture.com

This is just a short post about some things I've bought. Today I found a nice little package in my mailbox. It was my order from: http://www.cherryculture.com/index.php
I had ordered some little things of NYX and I would like to show you!

So this is what I ordered. I had ordered it last week on sunday, so it took only 8 days before it arrived here. The packaging was very well protected, so the products survived the whole trip from America to the Netherlands. And I also received a free lip balm from cherryculture. The lip balm smells like candy and it's very sweet. I like that and it also feels nice on my lips!

I ordered two lipsticks. The left one is called Twist and it is a red-brownish color. The right one is called Lousiana and that is a very bright pink. I don't have time to swatch them now, but I'm sure you'll see them soon pass into another blogpost!

I also bought some eye pencils and liners. I really needed to have the famous NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, so I bought that one. I also bought 2 eye/eyebrow pencils in Acid Green and Teal. I really don't think that anybody would put these colors on their eyebrows, but okay that's just how NYX is calling their eye pencils ;) And the last one is the Candy Glitter Liner in Silver. I made a quick swatch of the eyepencils/liner :

From left to right it's; Teal, Acid Green, Milk and Silver!
I hope you liked this quick post.

Paris je t'aime!

We went to Paris with school a while ago. So this is kind of old but still.. I want to share these pictures with you. The trip was amazing and so was Paris itself. Here are just some buildings that just are magnificent! I really love Paris and I hope to return soon!

Natural winged eyeliner

Today I made another natural eye make-up. But I made it a little bit more different than the others by adding a winged eyeliner to the eye. So this is what it looks like:

Products used:
- UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion)
- MUFE (Make Up Forever) e/s from the Rock For Ever palette;
              - 306 (salmon/peachy color)
              - 82 (silver)
              - 07 (white)
- Mac fluidline in Blacktrack
- Mac e/s in Cork
- Diorshow waterproof mascara
- Bareminerals Warmth as contourcolor
- NYX lipstick in Saturn

I really loved the way the eyeliner turned out. It makes my eyes super super big, without being too much! So, I hope you'll like it too.
