Press Days AW 2013-14 - 4 ♥

30577_454642647951005_1462225976_nEven though we’ve just waved our long winter goodbye, fashion is always a step ahead and brands are already introducing next year’s fall and winter collections.

Every year, April means press day month, and I always try my best to attend  those fashion and beauty filled days. Even though I’d rather concentrate on summer clothes and accessories right now, it’s interesting to see what the seasons will bring us next year.

I was mainly interested in the sequins and neons and also got a glimpse of (faux) fur here and there. As for shoes, creepers are said to get a lot of attention, even though it’s not a trend I’m too fond of. I did like the jewelry collections a lot, especially Sofie Valkiers for Diamanti Per Tutti and Just Julia.

As for beauty, many brands seem to work with and concentrate on figs. They have a lovely, fresh scent and I’m excited to see, try and smell more! continue reading →

Bobbi Brown Nude Beach Collection - 3 ♥

Bobbi Brown Nude Beach CollectionHave you already seen the Bobbi Brown Nude Beach Collection for summer 2013? If not ánd if you’re – just like me – totally into that bronzy, natural-looking glow for summer, this collection is definitely worth checking out.

I’m not usually the one to often post press releases, since I find them pretty boring plus they’re published all over the internet in no time. I prefer working with my own material, pictures, swatches etc. But from time to time I do receive press info about collections or products that are 200% to my liking, that I’d willingly spend some $$ on, and that I do feel like sharing with you. continue reading →

Used Up & Re-Purchased: YSL Matt Touch Primer - 3 ♥

Yves Saint Laurent Matt Touch PrimerThe very first and probably most important step in my daily makeup routine is applying a primer. I have combination skin that tends to get oily, especially around the T-zone. So I need a proper primer to prevent my face from looking like a grease bucket at the end of the day.

A couple of years ago, a sales woman at Ici Paris XL recommended me the Yves Saint Laurent Matt Touch Oil-Free Primer. She promised it would work miracles for me. And oh dear, she was damn right! continue reading →

Spring/Summer Fave: Grapefruit Lips - 7 ♥

Park AvenueIf you’ve seen my  latest MAC haul (click here), you know I have a weak spot for nude/neutral lippies. I just can’t get enough and keep adding more varieties and shades to my neutrals collection. There is however one other color trend I feel the same way about and that I always fall for.

Can you guess?  Right, coral! continue reading →

MAC Haul! - 14 ♥

MAC Haul Last week, I spent a day at Antwerp and of course, had to pass by MAC and pop in very quickly. After years and years of using the Studio Sculpt foundation, I noticed the formula wasn’t doing justice to my skin any longer, so I was in desperate need of a new foundation. continue reading →
