I'm in a video-clip! Check it out!

What most of you don’t know about me is that a volunteer for a project called ‘’Nationaal Jeugddebat’’. It’s a project for kids between 12 and 18 to learn more about politics in the Netherlands.
Every year we get together with some of the volunteers to make a video-clip and this year I am in it! We filmed it a couple of weeks ago in The Hague, unfortunately the weather wasn't great. Marcel, the boy with the Obama T-shirt wrote the lyrics and Thomas, the boy with the suspenders was the cameramen and did the montage work.

It looks pretty good for a bunch of amateurs don’t you think?
Do you like it?

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

Sheen Supreme Lipstick ($14.50 €?)
Bare Again: Pinky neutral beige
Behave Yourself: Light blue pink
Can’t Get Enough: Beige neutral
Can’t Resist: Golden purplish red
Full Speed: Bright clean yellow pink
Good to Be Bad: Deep burgundy
Gotta Dash!: Pale coral
Impressive: Neutral gilded plum
Insanely It: Watermelon pink
Look at Her!: Metallic copper
New Temptation: Vivid blue red
Quite the Thing!: Deep blue plum
Supremely Confident: Pale nude
Ultra Darling: Mid-tone yellow pink

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?

MAC Cremeblend Blush Collection, Spring 2011

For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility you’ve ever had…Starts creamy, stays creamy and proves once and for all that powder is NOT your only prerogative. You can get back to a new build for that retro “rouge” look Old Hollywood Glamour made modern or stop at subtle and natural; it’s all in your hands. In three aspects, two shades of each: One matched to skin, one for a brighter glow and one darker for cream contouring, it’s perfect for all skin colours, minus the silicone, particularly adept at preventing ashiness on darker complexions. Make powdery a thing of the past.

Release date:

Kelly's January Favourites 2011:

January is over, so it’s time for favourites. This is a list of products I’ve discovered in January or products I’ve used a lot in January, I also added some non-beauty favourites.

Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Well what’s there to say about this palette. It’s amazing! You’ve got all the colours you need for a neutral daytime look or a smokey night-time look.
Review: http://things4her.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-urban-decay-naked-palette.html

Lipstick: MAC Plumful
Love this colour, a purple-plum with a lustre finish so it’s school and work appropriate.

Lipgloss: MAC Sin-tillation (Cham Pale collection)
The perfect gloss with a lot of shimmer, can be worn on its own or over a lipstick or lipliner to make your look more fabulous. Looks really great in combination with MAC Plumfull lipstick.
Review: http://things4her.blogspot.com/2011/01/mac-cham-pale-review-lip-gelee-sin.html

Blush: MAC Instant Chic

A perfect coral blush for everyday use.
Review: http://things4her.blogspot.com/2011/01/blast-from-beauty-past-mac-instant-chic.html

Eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
I can’t apply liquid eyeliner, but gel liner is a piece of cake for me. Funny thing is most people have it the other way around. I love MAC Blacktrack Fluidline, because it’s ultra black and stays on all day.

Nail Polish: OPI Diva of Geneva

This month was a purple month I guess, my favourite lipstick is purple and so is my favourite nail polish. OPI’s Diva of Geneva is perfect with this still cold weather because it’s not too bright and summer-ish but it still is a fun colour.
NOTD + review: http://things4her.blogspot.com/2011/01/notd-opi-diva-of-geneva.html

Perfume: Vera Wang Glam Princess

Just the packaging already looks so glamorous, it’s smell great but you have to like strong scents.

Youtuber: http://www.youtube.com/user/lette76
Check out this amazing Retro Make-up Tutorial by Colette, after watching this I immediately looked on her channel for more amazing looks and subscribed to her channel.


TV-show: Hellcats
I already watch too many tv-shows but I came across this promo on Youtube and got curious. I started watching and got addicted. Anyone else agrees with me that brown hair looks amazing on Ashley Tisdale?


Song: Fefe Dobson – Stuttering
I heard this song on Hellcats episode 109: Finish What We Started, I just had to know who it was and I’ve been listening to it ever since almost every day. It has such powerful lyrics and a nice beat. The clip is unfortunately not what I expected, in my opinion it doesn’t really match the lyrics. Do you agree?


Well these are my favourites for January, what are your favourites? Got any questions or requests for reviews? Please let me know in the comments below!

Penultimate Brow Maker ($16.50 €?)
Penultimate Eye Liner ($16.50 €?)

So this is the next limited edition collection by MAC. I don't know all the prices yet but I'll change the post when I get more information. No special packaging this time but those eyeshadows look lovely with the denim print. I think that they will be bigger than the normal eyeshadows, just like the Tartan Tale and Peacocky ones. I just don't see the point in that because I never finished a normal size MAC eyeshadow. I think I’ll wait for the swatches on Temptalia before I decide what to buy.

Are you planning on buying something from this collection?
