Palette love: Too Faced Chocolate Bar

It's no secret I'm a make up junkie.. So, oops I did it again.. I placed a little order on sephora.fr recently and one of the thing I got was this yummy looking palette. After hearing a lot of buzz about this Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and actually leaving it behind on my trip to New York last April -  even though it smelled delicious and I didn't want to leave it.. - I finally caved and ordered it online. And boy do I regret not getting it sooner when I had the chance.. 

The first thing that hits you when you open the palette is the delicious smell of chocolate that almost makes you want to eat the palette right then and there. I would advice you not to though, cause the eye shadows aren't exactly edible but look gorgeous blended all over your lovely eye balls.

IMATS New York 2014

A couple of weeks ago I was in New York citytrippin' with my best friend. Being the makeup addict that we are, a quick stop at the International Make-up Artist Trade Show was kind of a given. We were lucky enough to be in New York when IMATS was happening so off we went on Saturday.
I was really looking forward to this convention because of all the amazing brands we can't get in Belgium and the awesome discounts. Plus I knew some of my favorite YouTube beauty gurus were going to be there! I didn't actually meet any of them though. We didn't even see them - but they were there. I knew the convention would be really crowded but man was that an unpleasant feeling. You had place to walk around but when it came to actually checking out the products of the different booths you needed an armor to keep people from pushing you away. 

NYC made me do it: Beauty Haul: PART TWO

Drugstore Beauty Haul - plus Inglot

Next up haulin': Drugstore beauty products. And some Inglot as well. For me there's no way I was going to leave New York without a visit - or four - to their drugstores. We went to Duane Reade, CVS and even Target. Because most of my money went to Sephora and other pricey stores, I managed to do a little damage here as well. Here we go:

Maybelline 'Baby Lips'
I already own some Baby Lips to begin with, but when I saw there is stores I just couldn't leave them. I picked up two from the black line - is that a thing? - and two limited edition shades on a third or even forth trip to the drugstore. The first two are 'OH! ORANGE!' and 'STRIKE A ROSE'. The two limited edition shades I have are 'BLUSH BURST' and 'ROSE RUSH'.

NYC made me do it: Beauty Haul: PART ONE

Starting off the week that will be filled with hauling stuff, we should begin with mascara. Not one. Not two. But six. Now I don't use six different mascaras every time I do my make-up, so why do I need six? Well I didn't actually need six new mascaras - especially when I still have two untouched ones laying around at home, but that's my dirty little secret - but I just couldn't bring myself to leave them.. You see they have a lot more mascaras to choose from in the US are a hell of a lot cheaper than in Belgium as well.. There, totally justified them all right? Me thinks so too. 

NYX: Slide on,Glide on eye liners

The NYX Slide on, glide on, stay on & definitely a turn on, water proof, extreme shine eye liner. There, the name is a real mouthful but NYX says that the just had to be that long, cause the eyeliner is just that good. I'm not going to go into detail about that, cause i haven't tested them long enough yet. More on that soon! But since did recently buy them I though I would share already :) 

NYX Slide on, glide on eye liner: Jet Black - Tropical Green - Golden Olive

Join me on the Dark Side

Lipstick can totally transform your look in my opinion. When only wearing some mascara and blush a little lipstick can spice up your look any time. I didn't used to be a huge lipstick fan, I love playing up my eyes - eye shadow girl all the way - but I'm a convert.. From time to time I like to play up my lips too change things up a bit. To do that I love to use dark lipsticks! They give an extra special look and some even make your teeth look whiter. Bonus! This recent addition to my lipstick collection is really pretty during this time of year. Dark Side by MAC is a more sheer burgundy/wine shade.
