Harley Quinn make-up look

Hi babes,
A few weeks ago I went to see Suicide Squad with my friends and absolutely loved it. I loved the movie, the special effects, the characters, the story but most of all I loved Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. I've never been interested in comics but the more superhero movies (or in this case villains) I see the more it sparks my interest to read the comics and know more about the characters. I loved how they'd portrayed the relationship between Harley and the Joker. So intense yet destructive, very intruiging. If I got my way there should be a book about their story instead of so many seperate comics or to go along with the comics because I'm personnaly more comfortable reading books, that's what I know best.
That being said the movie was a rollercoaster of emotions I laughed, I got mad, I cried (many times) which is always a sign of a good movie. Continue reading if you'd like to see my version of a Harley Quinn make-up look and which products I used.

Lóreal - La Palette Glam REVIEW

Hi babes,
Today I'm going to review La Palette Glam by Lóreal Paris. The reason I bought this is because I wanted to do a Harley Quinn make-up look. I didn't have a bright red or blue eyeshadow so drugstore-make-up-hunting I went. Let me say one thing the drugstore has no bright eyeshadows. Everything is nude!!! Luckily I found one eyeshadowpalette that had bright colours so I picked it up without even thinking about it.

First of all for being drugstore this was quite expensive at 21 EUR. Clearly Lóreal makes a unique product for the drugstore market which the price represents if you ask me. There is literally NO competition for this kind of product. So good job L'oreal for coming up with this palette.

First the positives : This palette is the only one of it's kind so it's special. The packaging is gorgeous, There's a decent amount of shades. At first glance the shades are beautiful with both mattes and shimmer finishes.

Sadly that's where the positives end for me. I was so disappointed in this product. One of my shadows arrived broken but that's not the worst part. The shadows have nearly no colour pay-off. The shadows kick up a lot of powder when you dip your brush in the palette. Which means you''ll have to deal with lots of fall-out under your eyes. There are a few eyeshadows that show up decently on the eye when used with a wet brush like the pink, brown and the red one but all the others are pretty poor quality. The purple shadow is just a disgrace in itself and doesn't show up at all.

To round this review up; I'm disappointed, the shadows are definitely not worth the money.
It's quite sad when a review turns out this bad but at least you don't have to waste your money on it :(
If this product did work out for you let me know!


Goodbyeeee

What I'm wearing - Asos bathingsuit

Hi babes, 
How are you? As I'm writing this I'm getting mentally prepared for my summer job which starts tomorrow (for me, today for you). I'm so nervous, I really want to do well as this is a job in the field and institution I'd like to work in in the future. I've already interned there so that's great but also means they have higher expectations, ones that I'd like to meet. Aaaah so nervous but let's hope it will be fine. 

Let's rewind to last month when I was still sunbathing in the South of France. Ah better days, chill days. Today I want to highlight an Asos bathingsuit. I haven't worn a bathingsuit since I was obligated to do so in a school swim class when I was 15 years old. I've never felt comfortable in them and felt I had to compromise a certain femininity when wearing them. I felt like a giant dork and well plain ugly in them. Luckily the tide has turned. This season especially I've seen many a feminine and sexy bathingsuit. Swimmingsuits have stepped it up a notch. Asos had such a great range of swimsuits I wanted to order like twenty of them but that's a bit outrageous when you only have like ten swimwear-appropriate-weather-days a year. 

I've decided to go for this one with a deep V neckline in the front and back. Its held together underneath the boob which makes you feel more secure. It prevents you from feeling like your boob may pop out when swimming, diving in the water or just general moving. I actually did the test, dove in the water and everything did stay tucked which I cannot say about any of my bikinis... Anyway the bathingsuit also has cute ruffles in the waist. I found this to be quite flattering and different than most bathingsuits. 

Somehow this blogpost turned into a bathingsuit review but hey, that's okay. At least I'm converted and maybe you should try one on too ;)












What I'm wearing 

-Asos bathingsuit
-Prescription Rayban sunglasses 
A little bit of goofballery doesn't hurt right? This is what happens when you get tired of akward posing and being told your posture is shitty.
Goodbyeeee
