I have many make-up products, but my favourites and my most used products are obviously in my make-up bag. I bought this make-up bag a couple of months ago and it sort of represents my love for macarons, and make-up of course. I am always interested in what other people use. From a peek in their make-up bag you can immediately find out what their miracle products are for flawless skin and voluptuous lips. Today you will get a peek in my make-up bag and find outwhich products are my faves!
Lately I have been very inspired by a few fashion bloggers. Their make-up is always on point and
their outfits are fabulous. Negin Mirsalehi is the girl that inspires me the
most and I LOVE her make-up. I think her winged eyeliner looks amazing, so I
decided to try something similar. A couple of weeks ago I went to a b-day party
and I always love to put a bit more effort into my make-up when I am going to a
party, so I decided to get the perfect winged liner, similar to Negin’s.
Can I just say that
winged liner is so hard to do. Matching them took ages, but in the end I
managed to get two ‘sort of even’ lines above my eyes. I also used the Revlon Matte Balm in Sultry from my last post. This results in a lovely
look with a Kylie Jenner vibe.
So see here my GRWM Winged Liner Make-Up Look:

advance haha)

Today I
wanted to talk about something that has been a big insecurity of mine for the
past 7 years. Ever since I got my first blemish my skin got worse and worse, especially
in the years when I was 16-20 years old. I have a lot of scarring,
redness and break-outs that keep coming back.
Since November
2013 I have been getting facials every single month and this really helped to improve my skin. It still didn’t solve the
problem, but it made it a bit better. Last December I was introduced to a
wonder product. I call it that, because believe me it is THE BEST! This product
is called Gladskin and I will do a full review of it on my blog soon, but this
product really helped to fix all my skin problems.
A couple of
weeks ago I did get a few break-outs and I filmed this video. I mainly filmed
it because I had time to film and I really wanted to film an ‘Everyday Make-Up
Look’. While editing it I saw that my skin wasn’t the best. I contemplated a lot if I should upload it
or not and it has been on private for about two weeks now.
In the end
I decided to put the video on public, because overall I am quite happy with how
it turned out, when it comes to the editing part. The only problem is my skin
and some of you might think that I should not worry about it. Maybe your skin
is way worse or you just don’t care, but for me this was and still is a big obstacle.
I decided to overcome this by uploading it and maybe helping some of you along the way.
While I am
typing this my skin is actually pretty good and I filmed a new make-up look
yesterday which I still have to edit. It will hopefully go up soon! :). That
video will also be the last video with sucky video quality, because I got a
present from my dad and it’s a Canon 700d! I cannot wait to film loads of
videos for you, but for now here is my Everyday Make-Up Look on a ‘Bad Skin Day’!
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips: Custom Eye in Nude I always go for a nude eye, but since it is fall I wanted to go for a more dark smokey eye. The darker colours in this pallet are really good for that. The pigmentation is not amazing, but you can build it up very easily. Unfortunately it got smashed when I was travelling to London, but I can still use it. It had a good wide range of colours, so everyone can use it.
Sleek Face Form in Light I absolutely have been loving this product in October. I think it is so handy that you have a contour powder, a highlighter and a blush in one kit. I have other bronzers that I use for contouring, but they always look a bit orange on me. This one however leaves a perfect contoured face. The highlighter is beautiful as well. It gives me a nice glow. The blush itself is beautiful. it reminds me a lot of Nars Orgasm. When I need to go away I always bring this product with me. Now I just need one product instead of three. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight I was looking for a new nude in my life and I found it! I saw this in a couple of YouTube videos and decided to buy it. It is a beautiful colour. It really moisturises my lips and it goes with everything. Riri for MAC Lipstick in Riri Woo I knew that when the Rihanna for MAC Collection came out I had to have at least something. Everything looked so pretty. I had my eyes on the lipstick Talk that Talk, a gorgeous dark purple lipstick. Unfortunately it was sold out everywhere. The lipstick Riri Woo was also hard to find, but I managed to get my hands on it. The colour is beautiful. It is really pigmented. Because it is a matte lipstick, the lasting power is amazing. It can be a bit drying though, but with some lipbalm you should cover that problem. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant I have had this one for ages. I have used it for a while, but went back to my all-time favourite Purol. It is a Dutch product, so I don't think you can get it everywhere. But this is a good dupe for it. Or maybe the Purol is a good dupe, because it is like €3 when the Eight Hour Cream products are way more expensive. But I decided to use this product again, because my Purol ran out. And as a lipbalm junkie that I am, I decided to use up some products before I started buying new ones. It moisturises my lips very well. It is a great product although I have one con and that is the packaging. You have to be really careful with opening and closing the lid. I have another one of these and I can't open it anymore because the lid is stuck. So beware! Syoss Volume Dry Shampoo I love the textured hair trend that is going on right now. I would love to use the Oribe Dry Texturising Spray, but since it is really expensive and I have to order it from the UK I decided to find one that was cheap and a little bit closer to home. This one is really good, I try not to wash my hair everyday anymore. I know that it is bad but I just love the feeling of freshly washed hair. This one comes in really handy in the second day when my hair starts to get a little bit greasy. It is great for adding more volume. I absolutely love this product! Face Brush I bought this product probably about two years ago. I wanted a Clarisonic, but since it is expensive I wanted to try out a cheaper version. I used it to much I think, because my skin got red and irritated. Since then I have never used it. But last month I decided to use it just at night and very gentle. I have to say, this product is amazing! My skin feels so soft and clean. I cannot believe I stopped using it after one bad experience. I you want the Clarisonic but you're not sure yet, just try out this ''dupe''.

Songs:
Little Mix - Move This song is so catchy and it's been on repeat for about three weeks right know. I can't wait to hear there new album! Ariana Grande - Yours Truly Album I love every song on this album. I still have some favourites though. I love Honeymoon Avenue, Right There, Lovin' it and Piano. I think she has an amazing voice. It is also really exciting that she will be backstage at the MTV EMA'S in Amsterdam. Unfortunately I didn't get tickets, so I will watch the show in front of the tv. :(
TV Shows:
Glee I was a huge Glee addict, but when season four came I suddenly did not watch it anymore. You had to wait like a month for a new episode and I just stopped watching it. At the beginning of October I really wanted to get into it again. I love the fact that Demi Lovato is in Glee and I really wanted to see the tribute episode to Cory. I loved every episode and I will be catching up with every episode from now on. PLL/ Ravenswood How amazing was the Halloween episode right. I was like OMG all the time. I won't spoil a thing so you have to watch it for yourself. Now we have to wait till January for a new PLL, but we still have an episode of Ravenswood every week. I really like the show. It is a bit creepy and scary sometimes, at least for me, but I find everything scary. I do find that the storyline of Caleb is sort of created for the show. I don't know but why would he stay with Miranda? He just met her on the bus, isn't that weird. Well we see how the show develops. What are your October favourites?
Before I went to London I made this wishlist. I've been to London two times before. The first time I was there I just fell in love with the city. The atmosphere there is just amazing!
Since not all brands are available in The Netherlands (Revlon, Collection, NARS) I went a little bit crazy in the shops. Here are the beauty products that I wanted and what I ended up buying in the end:
1. Sleek - i Divine eyeshadow pallet in Au Natural I did not get this one. The colours were not as pretty as I thought they would be.
2. Sleek - Face Contour Kit I did not get this ons either, Instead I got the Sleek Face Form which is just the same only that one has a blush.
3. Barry M - Nail Polish Everyone seems to love these nailpolishes. They are really hyped up but the hype hasn't got to me yet. That's why I didn't get any. Maybe next time :).
4. Sleek - Face Form This one I did get! I love it. The bronzer and the blush are really pigmented and the highlighter is gorgeous! I also love that you have three products in one kit, so handy!
5. Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer OMG! I LOVE this concealer sooooo much! I bought it in the colour 1 fair and it is a little bit light but when you work it in to the skin it looks really nice. It covers up my scars, acne and dark circles really well. I think I need to order some on Ebay because I am already running out and I can't wait to stock up on these in December when I go back!
6. Revlon - Lipbutters I picked up three of these: Candy Apple, Wild Watermelon, Juicy Papaya. De colours are beautiful. It is a mix between a lipstick and a lipbalm. Definitely worth the hype. I will definitely pick up more!
7. Revlon - Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin I sort of picked this up.. Do any of you have the problem that when you buy tights you sometimes don't even look at the size (this happens to me all the time). That is what happened with me buying the foundation. I have been looking at this foundation all week. When I bought it I just picked up the right colour and thought that I bought the combination/oily formula. Instead I picked up the dry/normal formula. Of course I found out about this when I was back home. I tried it on but I looked really cakey. I will buy the right formula when I go back to London.
8. Topshop - Lipstick It was so busy at Topshop that I quickly looked at the beauty department. But I decided not to buy anything.
9. Real Technique - Brushes I picked up the Expert Face Brush. And I love it so much. It works in my foundation really well. Definitely worth the hype. I want the Blush Brush soo bad. So that will definitely be my next buy! I am really happy with all the products I ended up buying. Did you buy any new make-up products this summer?
