Gosh + Manhattan lip combo

Soooo I own these to colors for a long time, but I don't like how they look on me seperatly. The Gosh lipgloss is a shimmery pink with 'cool' blue/pearly undertones which I don't like. The Manhattan lipstick is a very brownish nude which I don't like either.. TOGETHER though... I found out that they look very nice!

Manhatten Lipstick N53

Gosh Lipgloss Cool Lip Jam 106 (Do you see the blue/pearly undertones??)

Mixed Together

This is how it looks on my lips :)

pretty pink glitters!

Hello girls!

Today I have another glitter manicure for you! I'ts a very feminine and glamourous look.

the nailpolishes I used are: "Doll house"from China glaze, and "Just married" from Catrice.

 "Just married" is a very light pink colour, so it is hard to get this shade to look opaque on your nails. I had to apply 3 coats of this nailpolish. It took a lot of time to dry, but it was worth it, because the colour is gorgeous. On top of the Catrice nailpolish I applied "Doll house". This is a clear nailpolish with very large hexagonal glitters in it. This nailpolish from China glaze is great to use as a topcoat. I wouldn't recommend to wear it on your nails without an opaque colour as base coat, because you would need a lottttttttttttt of layers to get "Doll house" opaque.

This is my result:

What do you think about this nail-do?

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick, Spring 2011

Gloss is good, but there’s nothing quite as wonderfully, worldly cinematic as a Lipstick – and they’re coming back! We’ve updated formulas to make it all plausible. Sheen Supreme is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated colour of, say, Tilda Swinton’s I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss. Imagine no muddy undertones, gliding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel. It’s a new medium, with M∙A∙C in the lead. This is retro/modern – and devastatingly chic.

Release date:
USA: March 3, 2011
Nederland: March ?, 2011

These will become part of the regular line. The price for The Netherlands is still unknown but I will update this post as soon as I find out more. Are you interested in these lipsticks? As a lipstick-lover it caught my attention, but I want to wait for swatches before I decide to buy one. I think the promo image is pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to do that, drawing with a lipstick on a mirror. I wouldn’t use a MAC lipstick for that though. Anyone else also bothered by the models chipped nails?

Glamorous simple hairstyle using #carmen curlers

Hi there,

For those of you who are interested in a simple glamorous everyday look check this out! FYI: I have quit thick curly hair , but since I started growing my hair out, the curls turned into waves because of the weight. When I want to give my hair some extra volume and body I use my loveely carmen curl set:

This is how I did it:

On my wet hair I always apply a leave-in conditioner and a heat protector first.

Then I blowdry it utill it's like 80% dry, brush it and then you're ready to put it the curlers. Make sure the curlers are hot enough.

I prefer to work from top to bottem, so I start with my bangs etc.

Let it sit for 15/20 minutes, and take them out.
Spray some hairspray all over and your ready!

Ofcourse you can add a cute bobby pin or headband if you like.



What do you think of this quick affordable hairstyle?

Holographic nails "Atlantis"

This is a very beautiful nailpolish from China Glaze. "Atlantis" is one of my favourite "holographics".

This polish has a gorgeous green/blue colour that reminds me of the ocean. And it contains loads of glitter!!

I used a blue/green nailpolish from H&M ( #Bella's choice) as base coat, then I applied three coats of "Atlantis". I did this to get it opaque.

This is my result:

What do you think about holographic nailpolishes? Which one is your favourite?
