Vera Valenti Palette Review + FOTD!

Hey guys!

To kick off my great catching-up-course, here's a post I've been wanting to finish for ages; a review + face of the day using the Vera Valenti eyeshadow palette from the August Glossy Box (summer .. *sigh*). Enjoy!!

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - Realistic Skull Makeup

Hello everyone!

Over the years, it has become more and more clear to me that I have the coolest birth date ever. And for anyone who doesn't know me personally; I was born on October 31st, also known as Halloween! I think Halloween is a hugely undercelebrated holiday here in Holland. No trick-or-treating, no scary decorations. If you're lucky there might be a half decent dress-up party somewhere not too far away. So, as a Halloween child, I felt obligated to breathe new life into this day and show everyone how awesome it can be!

That's why I'm going to show you some scary, gory, unsightly Halloween looks that are often way easier to recreate than you might think. I've never, ever done looks like these before, but I'm loving it already. To officially launch this series, I've chosen a classic Halloween symbol that I'd been wanting to try and recreate for a while ..

The skull. *scary movie tune*

Basic Bridal Make-up: Natural, Long-lasting and Super Easy!

Hey guys!

It's been waaay too long! I've been very busy during the past month, but I have a few days off now so I finally have time to update you guys on what I've been up to. To begin with, the most awesome thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I was approached through facebook by a girl I went to primary school with, and she said that she and her friend had been looking through my facebook pictures and that they both loved my makeup looks. So much even, that she asked me if I'd like to do her friend's makeup. On. Her. Wedding day. So - never having done an actual bridal look before in my life - I was like whut?! for about three seconds before I wholeheartedly answered "Yes of course!" and "I'd love to!".

FOTD: Edgy Cut-Crease/Cat-Eye + Video Tutorial!!

Hello again!

So the day of my very first real YouTube makeup tutorial has finally come *cheers* ! It still feels very weird and awkward, but also very exciting and new, so I'm very curious to hear what you think of it! The look I'll be doing is this very strong Arabic cut-crease cat-eye using only neutral colors. I think this would be

FOTD: Subtle Green/Brown Day-time Look - Photo Tutorial!

Hi guys!

I felt like showing you all how to do this supereasy daytime look using browns and silvery greens. I'm a big fan of the green-ish shadow I'll be using for this, because I feel like it suits my eyecolor perfectly! It's a very wearable look and I think the pop of green gives it just that bit extra. I hope you enjoy!

Let's Talk Eyeliner! How-To Video + My All-Time Favorite!

Hello everyone!

So, in my very first post on this blog, I said that I was planning on recording make-up tutorials, which I still am! I'm just trying to find an efficient way to record and edit the material, because I tend to be quite chaotic and slow when I don't think everything through beforehand. I've already recorded one tutorial, but after a few weeks of contemplating I decided that I'm not satisfied with the end result, so I will record a new one as soon as possible. In the mean time, I hope you enjoy this blogpost, including a mini-tutorial on how I like to do my eyeliner!

W7 "Silky Eyes" Shades of Brown Eyeshadow Quad: Review, Swatches and FOTD

Hi guys!

I must admit that I'm a huge sucker for cheap eyeshadow palettes, so when I saw this quad lying on the shelves in a drugstore nearby, I couldn't resist (I believe it only cost me about €3,-). All the eyeshadows have a silky (hence the name) metallic finish to them and this particular one contains a soft pink, a bronzy brown, a chocolate brown, and a frosty white (I wish they would've named/numbered the colors *sigh*).

How to mend a broken ... compact!

Hi guys!

So, a while ago I ordered a Make-Up Studio palette filled with different blush colors. A couple of days later I heard an ominous thump coming from my front door, after which my mom called me to say that one of the blushes hadn't survived the blow. I almost cried when I found out that it was the hot pink one, but then I remembered the magic trick I'm about to show you. This method is very quick and simple (and even quite fun to do) and it doesn't affect the quality of your compact whatsoever. After this, you're gonna want to break all your compacts just so you can fix them again :)
