Hi everyone. I have another review of the Kat von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. Kat von D is cruelty-free make-up brand, exclusively sold at Sephora. For this week, I’m going to show you swatches of the shades Bow N Arrow, Lolita and Vampira. You can check out last weeks review of the shades Lovesick, Mother and Berlin here.
Milani is an afforable, creulty-free make-up brand mostly known for their baked blushes. The shade Luminoso has been praised by Nikkie from Nikkietutorials as an amazing blush which suits almost any look. Nikkie is a make-up goddess to me so of course I had to have it for myself. I’ve also ordered another shade called Bella Rosa. I’m going to show you swatches of these two Milani Baked Blushes.
It has been about two months since The Beautynerd has launched, and I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything using the brand Kat von D! It is one of my favorite brands ever. Kat von D, the famous tattoo artist is the face of the cruelty-free make-up brand named after her, exclusively sold at Sephora. Her love for make-up can be seen in how much effort she puts in her products. Most of the packaging has her own drawn designs and she is involved personally for every product that is launched. The quality of her products are amazing. I have a lot…
Here is the second part of my favorite holographic nail polishes, the Color Club Halo Hues. These are the colors of the Color Club Halo Hues 2013 collection. You can find my review and swatches of the Color Club Halo Hues 2012 Collection here. Just like the previous collection, these are all linear holographic nail polishes.
If you’re looking for an affordable lipstick with great pigmentation, I would definitely suggest to check out the NYX Matte Lipsticks. NYX is one of my favorite affordable, cruelty-free make-up brands around. The quality of a lot of their make-up products are absolutely amazing, while the price is on point. I’m going to show you three shades of the NYX Matte Lipsticks, which are Tea Rose, Merlot and Pure Red.
Linear holographic nail polishes have been my obsession for many years, especially during the summertime. My favorite holographic nail polishes are the Color Club Halo Hues. There are twelve Color Club Halo Hues polishes in total, six released in 2012 and the other six in 2013. These nail polishes make your nails look like a rainbow, a glittery hippy tie-dye shirt, crushed diamonds, a fabulous unicorn that has taken LSD and barfed on your nails. I’m going to show you swatches of the Halo Hues 2012 collection.
MAC Lipsticks are known for their high quality, large variety of colours and finishes. There are so many MAC lipsticks to the point that a lot of colours almost look the same when just looking at the lipstick however, they can look very different after applying. To show you these slight differences, I am going to review three nude shades from the MAC Lipstick collection; MAC Faux, Mehr & Please Me.
Foundation can feel very heavy and uncomfortable on the face during hot Summer days. During these days, it is nice to switch over to a BB cream instead. BB (Blemish Balm) Cream combines skincare properties together with a sheer tint so you don’t have to put several layers of product on your face. The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is one of my favorite BB Creams of all time. This BB Cream has an oil-free formula, which makes it very suitable for Combined to Oily Skin. It mattifies the skin while still keeping it hydrated, reduces the appearance of pores and imperfections and…
Hair removal has been one of the biggest struggles in the women beauty regimen. Nowadays, there are plenty different options to choose for hair removal like shaving, plucking, waxing and laser hair removal. Each option has its own up and downside. Veet, one of the biggest hair removal brands has come up with a new product called the Veet Spawax. I’m going to give you an in-depth review about this product.
Helloooooo Summer! The nice sunny weather has finally decided to show up in the Netherlands. As far as the weather predictions go, it will become very Sunny with temperatures around 30°C for the next coming days. I love Summer however, make-up does not really go well in this heat. I usually don’t wear much make-up during the very hot days but if I do, I try to use lightweight and water-resistant make-up as much as possible. Here are my Summer proof make-up tips. I will go step-by-step from the base to finish.
Anastasia Beverly Hills has released two new Liquid Lipstick shades for her summer collection, Craft and Unicorn. The consistency and wear-ability of the Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks has been my favorite compared to other liquid-to-matte lipsticks that I’ve tried. Therefore, I would like to review and show you swatches of the newest additions of the Anastasia Liquid Lipstick collection. Be sure to check the end of this post for the Giveaway!
The return of Urban Decay to the Netherlands has been a huge hit. On the day of return, the Ici Paris XL website was flooded with people who wanted to get their hands on all the latest Urban Decay products. I was one of those people who ordered like a crazed maniac and today, I would like to share what I’ve purchased and also created a look using these products.
MAC Heroine has been one of the most unique and bold colours in the MAC Lipstick range. It began as a Limited Edition shade, and was re-released as a permanent shade in March 2014. Not only that, MAC has also released a Heroine Lip Pencil and a Lipglass. Since I’m not so fond of Lipgloss type of products, I only purchased the Heroine Lipstick and Lip Pencil, which I’m going to review for you today.
The extremely talented and beautiful Nikkie from Nikkietutorials has recently posted a video on the power of make-up. In this video, she talks about the “Taboo” of wearing make-up, and shows you how fun make-up can be by showing a half-face transformation using make-up. To follow the footsteps of Nikkie, I’m writing this blogpost to give my opinion on the topic of wearing make-up and the reasons why I wear it.
The NARS Audacious Lipsticks are supposed to be one of the best lipsticks around. The formula of these lipsticks is supposed to be creamy and highly pigmented, a complete coverage within one stroke with a long-lasting satin finish. It was the winner of the Temptalia 2015 Readers Choice awards in the categories best lipstick and best new product of 2014. Since I highly value the opinions of Christine and the Temptalia readers, I had to try these lipsticks for myself. There are 40 different shades in total. Since these lipsticks are rather expensive, I’ve had the difficult task before me to only pick one colour. After looking…
Fortune Cookie Soap is a small store based in the US which sells hand-made bath & products. You can kind of compare their products to Lush. The scents of their products are very unique and special. Fortune Cookie Soap is known for their Fortune Cookie shaped soaps, which are all specially decorated. They also have a seasonal subscription for a Soap Box with their very own themes. Examples of previous Soap Box themes include A Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. The theme of this Summer Soap Box collection is named “Straight on Till Morning”, inspired by Peter Pan, which is mostly known by the…
Surprise! In celebration of Urban Decay returning to the Netherlands, I’m giving away my favorite Eye Pencil, the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Zero. This pencil is amazing for the lashline and to use as a base. It really glides on very easily and the colour payoff is great. This stuff also doesn’t budge and stays on like no other. I use this pencil almost every day in my upper lashline to make it look more fuller.
Urban Decay is finally back in the Netherlands! After the leave of the store-in-store Sephora’s inside selected V&D Warehouses, Urban Decay was only available at international webstores. As of today, is available through the Ici Paris XL website and the Ici Paris XL Store and from the 25th of June in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam. I have been a long fan of this amazing make-up brand because of the outstanding quality of their products. Therefore, I would like to show you one of my most favorite palettes of their brand, the Urban Decay Electric palette.
The Anastasia liquid lipsticks have been a huge hit in the beauty community. The liquid to matte formula of these liquid lipsticks is supposed to be one of the best ones around. There are 20 different colors available (excluding the 2 limited edition colors from the summer collection). I’m a major fan of matte lipsticks, it is my favorite lipstick finish and is also very long lasting. As a matte lipstick fanatic I of course had to try them. I have bought five colors which I’m going to swatch and review.
I’m so excited to start my new blog! Let me introduce myself. My name is Lariesa and I’m 26 years old. I’m living in the Netherlands and working full-time as an Assistant Scientist in a Pharmaceutical company doing research on new Vaccines. I’ve created this blog as an output for my creative outbursts and to spread the love for one of my biggest hobbies, beauty. When I was younger, I always loved to get my face painted and stealing my moms makeup to try it out myself.
