Amsterdam, Cake & Catching Up

Last Tuesday me and my friend had a girly day. We had lunch, did a bit of shopping and chatted a lot. We actually wanted to have lunch at a new place, but since it is Amsterdam’s current hotspot, there was no table left. After strolling around we took the tram to go to our favourite lunch café in the center of Amsterdam: De Drie Graefjes.

Ever since I went to uni I always wanted to go there. I am actually that person that looks at the menu online and imagines what she is going to order. So when I finally ate at De Drie Graefjes I was very happy.

It’s a very cute café with amazing sandwiches and yummy cakes. They also have an American Bakery right next door where you can pick up all sorts of cupcakes, cookies and cakes to go. They have THE BEST Red Velvet Cake. If you ever go to Amsterdam I highly suggest you go there, even when it’s just for tea and cake. Which might even be better in my opinion, I love cake!

Because cake for lunch is very yummy, but not as healthy, we ordered sandwiches. I had the ‘American’, a sandwich with smoked chicken, bacon and chive-mayo and my friend had the ‘Pollo’, a sandwich with smoked chicken, guacamole and avocado. Both sandwiches were very tasty and because we don’t go to De Drie Graefjes that often we decided to have cake for dessert. We ordered Red Velvet Cake and Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake and shared them. They were both amazing, but the Red Velvet Cake was the best cake I have ever tasted. I will definitely pop into the American Bakery more often to treat myself to a slice of that delicious cake!

We also made the deal to try different food hotspots every month. So whenever we go somewhere I will make sure to snap lots of photos and share them with you all. If you cannot wait for a new lifestyle post, you can follow me on INSTAGRAM where I share more yummy food photos and artsy pics!

GRWM Winged Liner Make-Up Look

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:

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms

As you would’ve seen in my London Haul I went a bit crazy in Boots and Superdrug. During these crazy shopping trips I picked up two Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms in the colours ‘215 Shameless’ and ‘225 Sultry’. Two beautiful lip products that are currently my favourites. I got them both for free, because there was a deal on Revlon products at the time. I already took pictures of them, but I wasn’t happy with the outcome. Then I got my new camera two weeks ago, so I decided to photograph them again!

Since the Kylie Jenner lip trend I just love those matte, nude colours. So I was hoping Sultry would be the perfect match. It’s a bit darker and pinkier than I expected it to be, but I still love the colour.

I picked up Shameless mainly, because there were no other colours that I liked. I already have a lot of reds and pinks in my collection, so a purple is something different. I actually like the colour a lot. I love bold lips, so this beauty is right up my alley!

Sultry

Shameless

They are both very easy to apply. They both have the same consistency and scent. When you apply the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm, a minty scent goes straight into your nostrils. In the beginning I had to get used to that, but I quite like it now. Both colours are very pigmented and longlasting. Even though they are matte formulas I don’t find them drying at all. Normally I need to apply a thick layer of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream before I go to sleep, because my lips are dry and flakey after a matte lip day, but luckily those days have changed!

If you like a good matte lip then I would definitely recommend these Revlon Matte Balms. When I go back to London (and I hope this is very soon), I will have a look at the Revlon counter and look for more Colorburst Balms!
