My Life | My Summer Holiday to London 2013!

In August I went to London with a friend. We had the BEST time ever! I love London so much. The city, the atmosphere, the people, everything! I have been there two times before so we did not really had to go sight seeing etc. Instead we went a little bit shopping crazy. And with that I mean really really crazy haha.

We did had some free time though, so we did do some sightseeing and went to Camden Lock Market. We also saw the musical Wicked. It was a holiday I will never forget!

Some bits and pieces I bought:

I am looking forward to December when we will go back. Aah you gotta love London! <3

How was you Summer Holiday?

London Drugstore Beauty Wishlist: What Did I Ended Up Buying?

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?

My Life | Where Have I Been?

It's been almost a year since I started this blog. It was a way for me to share my passion about beauty, fashion and lifestyle. After a while I just did not have any idea what I needed to post on here. I felt like I needed to post every day which sometimes made me post quick boring stuff. 
Then school started to become really busy and stressful and I could not find the time to write posts etc.

In July when school started to come to its end I looked at my blog and I saw that I still had views. Not a lot but I was really pumped that people actually red my blog. Even if I didn't post for almost a half year. 

This summer I had time to relax and think about a lot of stuff. I worked a lot, but also made time to relax and go to the beach. I went to London which was the highlight of my holiday. 
My blog came to my mind a lot. I feel like when you start a blog you need to post regularly and not once in a while. So it was either to continue it or delete my blog. I decided to continue with my blog. I changed the name from CocoBlue to MissCocoBlue. And I have a fresh mind full with ideas. I will put post up 3-4 times a week. This way I can combine it with school. And my posts actually make sense. 

I am also thinking about maybe doing YouTube. I have some video's ready but I am not sure yet. Uploading videos of yourself to the web is a really big scary step for me. So I will keep you updated on that.

I hope you all had a lovely summer holiday and I will talk to you soon!
