Kiko Make Up Milano


A few weeks ago I went to Rome with my family. We were so busy sightseeing,that I didn't even think about shopping. Until we came across a Kiko store in Vatican City. I practically dragged my mum and sister in there and together we explored the wonderful world of Kiko.


The first product I was desperate to buy, was this water eyeshadow 228. It is a taupe/greyish shade with a pretty purple shimmer.I think it's a beautiful colour, but sadly it creases very fast, even with a primer underneath. I haven't tried applying it with water yet, so I'm not quite sure what that'll do to it.


Then I stumbled upon this beauty: the Glow Touch lips & cheeks 102 wave hibiscus. I've always wanted to try a liquid blush (well, sorta liquid) and it was on sale, so it was the perfect match! It is very easy to apply as a blush and as lipbalm, but I do think that it is less hygienic than something with an applicator. As you can see on the picture, it attracts dustlike honey attracts bees. Despite being unhygienic, I like this product a lot. It stays on your cheeks for a full day and it feels nice on my lips ^.^

Now I really want a Kiko store in the Netherlands. I can't wait to try more of their products :)

Have you ever tried Kiko makeup? What did you think? Let me know in the comments ^.^


Have a nice day!

I'm a mermaid!


  I might actually need a fishtail before I can call myself a mermaid, but my hair makes me feel mermaid-ish (does that word even exist?). About two weeks ago, I suddenly felt an undeniable urge to dye the bottom of my hair turquoise. So I bought a tub of La Riche Directions dye in the colour Turquoise and dyed my hair. Talk about making impulsive decisions :').


I'm quite surprised to see that it actually turned out bright turquoise, because I didn't bleach it first. Of course it would've been more vibrant if I bleached it first, but I really like the colour as it is. I've washed it a few times now and it has turned into an almost mint green colour, which I think is lovely. Better than pink, which faded superfast and turned into an awful orange colour on my hair. I'm not sure how long I'll like this colour, but I don't think I'll get bored of it easily. After all, it makes me feel like a mermaid.

Have a nice day!

PS If you'd like to see a video on how I dye my hair, please let me know in the comments!

Music of the moment #6


Hey y'all -wait, since when do I say hey y'all? it's ridiculous- it's time for another Music Of The Moment!
I've been listening to all sorts of different music lately, so be prepared for a very odd combination of songs. 

Upside Down - Paloma Faith


Yes, I'm kinda late with discovering this song, since everybody else already knows it. I really like her voice and style of music, it even reminds me a bit of Florence + The Machine. If you like this song, you should check out Just Be and Can't Rely on You as well.

L-O-V-E - Nat King Cole


This is a golden oldie. I've been listening to this kind of music for a week now, and it makes me so happy. It kind of, makes me want to dance around my room.

She Looks So Perfect - 5 Seconds of Summer


Over the past few months, I've fallen in love with these boys. They're so talented and amazing and YOU SHOULD JUST CHECK THEM OUT ALREADY AND BUY THEIR NEW EP. 

Best Day Of My Life - American Authors


This is just a really good and happy song ^.^

Nina Nesbitt - Stay Out


Because Nina Nesbitt is awesome and her lyrics are brilliant.

What have you been listening to lately? Do you have any recommendations? Leave them in the comments below ^.^

Have a nice day :)
