The Beautyblender is an essential tool for applying make-up. It is amazing for blending out cream products like foundation and concealer. The Original Beautyblender is quite expensive however, so there are my dupes around. One of the most popular dupe is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I’m going to review and compare these beautyblenders.

As some of you already know. I’m a (liquid) lipstick addict. I started this addiction about 2 years ago. I only felt comfortable wearing brown nude shades. I remember buying my very first sheer pink lipstick and let me tell you, I needed to get used to that a lot. Since then, I’ve gotten more to wearing a lot of shades and now own many different nude, bright and daring shades of lipstick. Nowadays, unusual colors like black, green and blue lipsticks have been promoted lately by a lot of different make-up brands. I have gotten curious about these shades so I purchased a blue…

Strobing has been the Summer trend of 2015, which is basically highlighting on crack. Even though summer has ended, you can still rock a beautiful summer glow using highlighters like the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. This beautiful, limited edition highlighter has been made in collaboration with the beautiful Youtuber Jaclyn Hill.
I love using facial masks. There are so many different types like clay masks, sheet masks or masks made from fresh ingredients.

I’m going to review the Montagne Jeunesse Cucumber Peel-off Mask.

There are many (monthly) subscription boxes to choose from nowadays. I’ve been subscribed to a lot of different beauty-related boxes, but there are also tons of other subscription boxes outside of these beauty boxes. I’ve found a very cool monthly subscription box through Instagram called Gamer Girl Monthly, which offers video game inspired jewelry and other collectibles. This subscription box is quite new starting from July this year. I’ve missed the June and July Boxes, which themes were “Pixel” and “Power Up”. The theme of the month of August is “Friends”. I’m going to unbox and show you all the items of the August…
Hi all! I apologize for the lack of posts last week. As some of you guys know, I’ve been to the USA last week, completely unexpected! I had one week to prepare to go to Bethesda (near Washington DC) for work at the National Institute of Health. This was the first time ever that I visited the USA! Luckily, there was enough time to explore and go shopping. I did not bring any make-up to the USA so I could purchase everything that I need over there. I want to show you all the stuff that I’ve purchased during my visit in…
Body piercings have been a changing trend throughout the years. In the 90’s, there was the Nose Piercing. In the 00’s, there was the Navel Piercing. This decade, it’s time for the Septum Piercing. A Septum Piercing is placed in between the nostrils. Since it’s on the center of your face, it looks very striking, bold and edgy. If you’re not ready to commit to the real deal, you can also try a fake one. With a Faux Septum Piercing, you can just see how it looks without having to spend a lot of money, pain and maintenance. I’ve purchased a set with three different styles…
If you’re a fan of Matte Liquid Lipsticks like me, you probably have the same struggles as I do after wearing these lipsticks, dry and even sometimes chapped lips. This also happens especially during the cold winter times. I scrub my lips weekly and use a lip balm every day before going to sleep to keep them flake-free and moisturized however, sometimes my lips just need a little extra boost. When I heard about the Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch, a mask for your lips, I had to try this out for myself. I’m also hosting a giveaway so make sure to check out…

The theme of this Fall Soap Box collection is “Old Hollywood”. This box contains eight products in total. I’ve been experimenting with some editing and tried to edit the pictures to match the theme as much as possible, I hope you…

MAC Heaux is a very popular limited edition lipstick shade, originally released during the Summer RiRi ♥ MAC Collection in 2013. It sold out very quickly and since then, the demand for this shade has only grown. These high demands resulted in a price increase on websites like Ebay, being offered for prices up to ~80 Euro’s. This month, MAC Cosmetics has released a new limited edition Heaux Lipstick with a different finish and a possible dupe, D for Danger. In this blogpost, I’m going to compare original Heaux to these new lipsticks.
