The newest mono shadows from Essence have arrived! They are part of a new line called the I <3 NUDE eyeshadows. And there are 6 shades available.

I picked up three. Wondering if these are better than the old ones. Keep reading.

New: Catrice & Essence Collection Update

European beauty budget lovers might know that super budget brand Catrice & Essence have a collection switch two times a year. Now in February the first change of 2015 comes.

I had a closer look and I'm showing you my favourites. Take a look.

What didn't make the cut!

Whenever I get a new make up item, I really enjoy testing it. Sometimes I just get my hopes up to high and the product lets me down very much.

Normally I like to keep this blog mainly positive with not to bad reviews. However I feel its time to show you what didn't make it on to the blog.

Now get steady for some not so good (bad) reviews coming your way.
Lets jump right into it.

Essence: Rock Out blush

As I am watching the EMAs right now I thought it would be really fun to write a review about a Limited Edition that comes with the famous music show, this year, held in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Rock Out collection seemed to be focused on the younger girls since, to me, it had that appearance. The collection wasn't to interesting for me but I did pick up the blush.

What do I think of it? Continue reading.

Essence: Soo Glow, Cream to powder highlighter

Going down the budget road the past blogposts! Turns out I love me some good budget and I love to show you guys that!

Today, yes no surprise here, I am showing you some Essence goodies that came with their new autumn/winter change.

Remember me reviewing the Essence Soo Blush products. I really enjoyed them. Perfect for summer.

Yet with autumn and winter approaching the sunny days are gone, I like to create a more highlighted and bronzed face to lighten up the plain days, if that makes sense. And therefore these highlighters come in the picture.
My review, you can find it here.

September Favourites + Everyday make up

September is over. Summer is over! Yes someone is getting depressed here! I already see and notice major skin differences and I don't like it!

This month wasn't a month of a lot of experimenting therefore. I stuck to a well loved look of mine and that transfers into my monthly favourites which is kind of also my everyday make up.

Does it seems interesting? Lets have a look.

Essence: Effect Eyeshadow

Lately I prefer to go for cream shadows, they are easy to use, quick and if you are as lazy as I am in the morning, creams are your best friend.

I already found some precious babies in the Maybelline Color Tattoo creams and I haven't found one that could compete next to them.

Yet with an Essence change a few months ago (where I wasn't to impressed about) I did find new creams.

Effect shadows. Way cheaper than Maybelline. Are they better than my Maybelline ones? Lets find out.

Essence Hello Autumn: Adapting blush & powder

As the latest limited edition from Essence came into my local drugstore, I got really excited to try the products out! All focused on autumn shades I fell in love almost instantly.

I already reviewed the two lovely palettes in the collection. Click here to read that review!

Today I am back with the last two products of the collection that I got myself. An adapting blush and a powder.
Seems interesting? Continue reading.

Essence: Hello Autumn Eyeshadow Palettes

Ever since summer I feel local budget brands as Essenc and Catrice really are doing great in the Limited Edition department! Metallure was awesome, upcoming ones are great too and the new Hello Autumn, I instantly loved! Focused on the autumn shades this collection is perfect for that time of the year.

The collection includes make up wise: 2 palettes, brow powders, eyeliners, two lipcreams, nailpolish, blush and a powder. Also some hairbands.

I got myself the two palettes, the powder and the blush. Which there will be reviews about. Today first of are the two palettes.

My autumn approval? Lets find out.

August Favourites

Well where did August go? Where did the summer went to? I can't believe this year is passing by so quickly. This month the new fall/winter collection (make up and fashion wise) started to arrive in stores. Dark lips for the win you know. 

I can't wait to try all those new beauties as well. However I kept my make up very natural this month. I didn't splurged to much on new stuff and pink hair and colourful make up somehow don't fit me.

I did gathered up some new loves in August and I will show you those in this blogpost. Lets get right into it.

New In: Essence Hello Autumn

Limited Editions, you have got to love them. The last Limited Edition however from Essence, I wasn't intrigued by and actually purchased nothing.

This time there was a very intrigued me and I got myself everything I wanted!

Today I am giving you a quick overview of what I got and of course its also a sneak peak of upcoming reviews!
Lets jump right into it!

Essence: Soo Blush, Cream to Powder blush

Not only Catrice did had some changes goitng on, Essence also changed up their assortment bit.

To be honest with you, the Essence change wasn't near as good as the Catrice change.

Although there were a few items that I really wanted to give a try. I've heard its quite a quest to get these products but I thankfully got my hands on the ones I wanted.

Today we go down the  blush road. And I am going to bring you along. Intrigued? continue reading!

My Summer Essentials

Normally in summer my make up routine doesn't undergo radical changes. This year though, I have had more of a drastic change than other years.

I first of wanted to go much lighter than I usually go. Though, I still kept my statement eyeliner and mascara. Aside that I have gone for some summer essentials this year.

And as the tittle says that is what I am going to show you in today's blogpost.
Interested? Keep reading!

May Favourites

A month has passed by and new loves appear again. What did strike me, I don't have a lot of favourites. I frequently went for the one colour eyeshadow look and let my face breathe with light things. I wanted to keep my make up as low key as possible with the hot days that we had.

Also not a lot of skincare because I'm allergic to practically everything my skin touches.

Therefore, I have for you 5 products in my monthly faves.
What they are? You can read it here.

Essence: Mattifying cream, Take 2

I have an oily and sensitive skin. I therefore want to use as little products as possible. I thought, as many do, that I was 'overproducing' oil. And I took it away. 

But ever since my teacher once told that the thing with oily skin is that all the oil on your skin should actually be in your skin. That changed.

My biggest tip now: Moisterize, moisterize and moisterize. I have found myself an everlasting favourite. Budget and beautiful!

How do I take care of my skin? Continue reading.

Essence: Shimmer Bronzing Powder

Since a few weeks now I have been totally loving to play around with bronzer. If I am doing my make up that bronzer nowadays is always to be found in my routine.

Today the weather was absolutely amazing and I was hoping for that tiny bit of first tan. Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Because of the fact that I don't get any colour to my face, I use bronzer to. And today I have for you a review of my newest bronzer. 

Are you ready to bronze up the face? Then keep reading.

Summerproof: Highlighter

Even though summer has been not easy to find the last few days, I can't wait until the sunshine has an influence on my mood.

On a gorgeous freshly tanned skin some highlighter does miracles too. Some make up products, in my opinion, can do that beautiful extra to your skin.

Today my focus is on some very nice highlighters. Are you ready to highlight those cheekbones? Then keep reading.

Summerproof: Blush

In summer I try to lessen down the amount of make up I use so my skin can breathe. And also because the weather is warmer I'm not putting as much on because otherwise it would just slide of my face. -No sight-

Something that I will never leave is definitely a blush. That add is absolutely gorgeous and can add a perfect glow.

Today I wanted to run you trough some of my favourite summerproof blushes.
Are you interested in what they are, then keep reading!

April favourites

I love to watch/read other peoples monthly favourites. Getting to know other brands or products and thoughts on those products.

I to have beauties every month but I never had the amount that I could put it into a proper blogpost.
This month though something changed and I noticed that I actually had quite a few.

So today I have for you my first monthly favourites!
Are you interested? Then keep reading.

Essence: Eyeshadow

I love trying new looks. I want to see which colours suit me, which colours go together. But most of the times, on daily basis I do the same thing all over again.

A few days ago I also was talking about the fact that I really don't have a lot of different eyeshadows. I always tend to go back to my beloved Sleek palettes.

Last week I went a bit crazy on palettes. Which totally wasn't the plan.
Today I want to share my thoughts on my purchased goodies.
