The Seven Deadly Sins of Beauty TAG

I'm feeling a bit uninspired today, but I do feel like blogging, so I decided to pick out a fun tag to share with you guys! Several beauty gurus have done this tag, so I don't really know who came up with the idea. Though I don't consider myself a beauty guru, I do love beauty so I thought this would be a fun thing to do!

 1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?

My most inexpensive beauty item is probably nailpolish. I think my most expensive is my Urban Decay NAKED palette, which I boughton the boat from France to England. I think I paid 34 pounds for it, but believe me, it was worth it! ^.^



2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
I love/hate my black pen eyeliner from Maybelline, because I love winged eyeliner. Sometimes I just can't get the wings even and I feel like throwing my eyeliner out the window.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
 I think my Cranberry Joy body butter from The Body Shop. It has a really sweet smell and it looks kinda delicious too


4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
Powder. I never use it. I do own a few powders, but I always forget about them. I don't really need them too so I guess that's why.

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

A bold lipstick always gives me a lot of self confidence, though I almost never wear it in places where a lot of people know me (school etc.).


6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I love guys with an amazing sense of humour. And I have a bit of a thing for guys who wear nerd glasses occasionally.
 
7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
Oooh tough question. Beauty related, MAC brushes, because I'm very curious about their quality and I just want to try them out. Non-beauty related, a new laptop. My old laptop is slowly falling apart so I kind of need a new one :p

Sooo, this is the end of this tag, If you're going to do this tag too, please leave a link in the comments, because I'd love to read them!

Bye! XX <3

Summer favourites: Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine


Yes guys, it's almost summertime! Though the weather in the Netherlands isn't always that great, the clouds have finally disappeared and the sun is shining at it's brightest, which makes me very happy ^.^ To really get into the summer mood, I'm introducing a few blogposts with my summer favourites: products that I use and love for summer!

My first summer favourite is a lipstick by Bourjois. It's number 21, Rouge making of, from the Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine collection. I bought this lipstick a few weeks ago, and I've been wearing it very often ever since. First of all, the lipstick looks supercute. I think it's one of my prettiest lipsticks and the bright colours look so summery!



The colour is quite hard to describe. I think a perfect description would be pink-coral-reddish. I wouldn't wear it if you have yellow teeth, as the lipstick has a bit of an orange undertone. What I love about this lipstick, is that it is bright, but not too bright. It's a very wearable colour. It is a balmstick, which means that it feels nice on the lips, and it hydrates them too. The colour stays pretty long, I wore the lipstick on a school day of 5 hours, and I only had to reapply after eating something.


VoilĂ , my face with the lipstick :p Aaah I just love this lipstick! I definitely want to pick up some more colours from this collection. In the Netherlands, they cost 12,99 but I'm not sure how much they are abroad. Well, I hope you're feeling a bit more summery after reading this summer favourite :) Next up: foundation!

Outfit of the day ^.^


Hi guys! I haven't blogged in a while, so I decided to show you my outfit of the day. It's not a very special outfit, but I thought it looked cute so I wanted to share it with you! I'm wearing a sheer blouse from a Dutch store called Vero Moda, but I think you can easily find  a similar blouse. I'm just wearing a simple black top from H&M underneath. The shorts and the belt are also from H&M.


I'm wearing these cute rings from Topshop. I bought these when I was in London, so I always think of that trip when I'm wearing them. They came with 4 other rings, but wearing 8 rings feels a bit like overdoing it ;p


The stockings are also from Topshop, but there's a little bit of a problem with them. The dots are glued onto the stockings, so they are coming off pretty fast. So, if you want to buy stockings with polkadots, make sure the dots aren't glued, but sewn onto them.

This completes my outfit of the day! Like I said before, it isn't anything special, but I just thought it looked cute ^.^

Bye!! XX <3
