A Random Haul - New Look, H&M, Sephora

Tutorial Glitter M&M's - challenge

It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a tutorial/ seriously, it feels like it’s been ages!

January 2012 is over and done and after counting the votes for the readers make-up challenge the winner picture and theme were…

The M&M’s picture and Glitter theme

I wanted to do an extreme look, but the thing is I failed completely. I could not manage to get any extreme look.

After several attempts of priming, blending, removing, glitters, lipsticks, eyeliner….

I came with this creation. I use the colors of the M&M pictures and added the glitter to finish it off.

Check it out!  

New Years Eve Look

On New Year’s Eve I celebrated among my friends. We had a great time, saw some fireworks, ate delicious food, and drank champagne… anyway, like I said we had a great time.

And you guys know for an awesome night you need to have an awesome makeup, especially if it’s the last day of the year.

So I went all out and use a little bit of everything… colors & glitter, just the way I like it.

New Years Eve Nails

My New Years Eve nails. Sorry for the little messy nails, but I just had to share this with you gals. Maybe I’ll post my NYE look later. 

The polishes I used are Catrice #550 Marilyn & Me, Golden Rose #12 and Essence glitter #02 Julia.

Video: Smokey Eyes Tutorial

A couple of months ago I got the request to do a smokey eye tutorial on dark skin tone. I’ve been postponing this for I don’t know how long. I did made a tutorial then, but wasn’t that happy with the results.

After lots of applying, blending, wiping off and doing it all over again, I finally came out with two different smokey eye looks: a softer one and a dramatic one.

This next tutorial is of the dramatic one. For this look I’ve used my Sleek ‘Oh SoSpecial’ palette since I noticed that I never did any look or tutorial with this palette, which also is one of my favorite palettes.

The softer smokey eye tutorial will be uploaded at the end of this week.

Anyway, enough chit-chat. Here’s the tutorial! Enjoy!

A gracious tutorial

It’s not very often that I get inspiration out of an everyday thing or any magazine look. Usually I play with the colors, look which ones to combine with and then create my own looks.

But some weeks ago when visiting my family in Maastricht I came across a Dutch ‘Grazia’ and it had a real cool look that just knew that I had to remake.

So I did and today I’m sharing my tutorial on this colorful yet simple and fresh look.

The model in the magazine had a nice fresh face without any heavy make-up on. So I also went for the same and tried to keep it as fresh as possible.

This look would be great for a midsummer afternoon on the beach or for a festival.
