Time for some presents

Hi lovelies, 

It seems like I want to start every blogpost with 'long time, no see', I hate having less time to blog. I still haven't figured out how I can have better time-management so I actually find time to blog. Enough whining, let's discuss the subject of the day.

Almost 2 months ago I celebrated my birthday and I got a few gifts from my girlfriend and I also got myself some gifts.

On my birthday itself Anais brought me a little bag stuffed with goodies. The bag contained a nude Catrice lipstick, a Catrice nude eyeshadow palette and a Chanel creamblush. All things I wanted but never bought for myself . That's why I found these presents even more considerate. But as you can see in the picture, there is an extra lipstick. I bought myself a Mac lipstick, because you now... you can buy birthday presents for yourself. (Every excuse to buy stuff will do...)

Swatched : Catrice Hey Nude! // MAC Wear with flare // Chanel cream blush in affinité first the brightest it can be and next to that a lighter application

A few days later my next present came in the mail and turned out she bought me this Rise Against band tshirt. I absolutely love this shirt. Good job Anais <3

Last but not least we agreed that we would book a trip to Disneyland for my birthday so the weekend after my birthday we headed of to Disneyland (pictures of which can be found here and here) but I ended up buying a few things there. One of those is this cute Mickey Mouse mug with vintage looking drawings of Mickey Mouse on.

Lastly in Disney I could leave these cute little snugglets behind. They are part of the stackable toys collection. They are extra cute baby versions of the Disney characters. I bought Thumper from Bambi and Perry from Phineas and Ferb.

Voila, those were my birthday presents. I felled extra blessed with my presents and activities around my birthday. 

Goodbyeeee

What's on my face #20 - Autumnal soft make up

Hi lovelies,

Guess what today isn't is? Jep you guessed it, that promised haul. Turned out that was too much effort so I decided to a what's on my face instead. That haul is still coming though, I pinky promise.

As for a little life update, I'm interning in our local hospital which is pretty intense and stressfull. What have you been up to?

On my face are a few new things: A new Chanel cream blush, an NYC liquid eyeliner and a mineralize rich lipstick by MAC

I went for a matte base using the NYC mousse foundation. I added a lot of colour using the bright cream blush in the colour affinite and a mediumtoned hema bronzer. For an extra bit of glow I added a Catrice limited edition highlighter in bloomynous which is a gorgeous pink highlighter. 

For the eyes I used way to many eyeschadowshades : over the entire lid matt singh, in the middle matt rosen en matt wood in the outer corner. All of these shades are from the meet matt nude palette from the Balm. But it doesn't stop there I added a matte black in the crease and a copper shade from the MUA undress me too palette in the inner corner/piece of the eyelid. I finished things off with a wing using my new NYC eyeliner and lots of volume million lashes mascara by L'oreal. Lastly I used the mineralized rich lipstick in wear with flare from MAC 

I hope you liked this look. It turned out to be intense and somehow still soft at the same time.

Goodbyeeee
