TED BAKER MAKE-UP BAG | december 10, 2013

Hi guys!

Today just wanted to show you my new make-up bag really quickly, which my mom got my as kind of an early Christmas present. I didn't put my make-up in it yet, as I'm still deciding if I'll keep it as a bag only for when I'm travelling or for everyday use. 

The details: it's a small make-up bag from Ted Baker London. (I think last years collection, I'm not entirely sure)

The pictures: (excuse the poor picture quality)

Essie's 'The lace is on'

As I was shopping earlier this week between classes, I discovered they started selling Essie nail polishes at the local drugstore. I've wanted to try this brand for quiet a while now, so  I decided to buy one.

I bought a shade out of their fall collection, 270 The lace is on. The colour is something between pink and purple, and there is some shimmer, sparkle in it. Anyway, I tried it out earlier today and so far I'm really liking it. I do think it could use a topcoat though, to prevent chipping, which I didn't apply.

The things I like about it:

  • It had a slightly rounded brush, which makes it easy to apply
  • It's very pigmented
  • It covers very well.
Below are some pictures of the polish.

Thank you very much for reading, please like :)

RIMMEL vs RITA ORA

Time to get excited!

It was announced yesterday that Rimmel London (one of my personal favoutire make-up brands) will be collaborating with singer Rita Ora this winter for a new collection. Together they will create a limited edition collection that will be launched in February 2014!

I am very curious about in what way this collection will be different than the Kate Moss collection (which is - let's face it - pretty fabulous). I am very excited for this new Rita Ora collection though, I can't wait to see what they will come up with!

SUGAR DISCOVERIES

Since this morning, I am back from my trip to Italy. I had an amazing time over there and I really can't wait to go back.

Obviously, when in Italy, you have to go shopping. While in Verona, city of Romeo and Juliet, I discovered the Italian make up brand KIKO. I ended up buying these three wonderful nail lacquers:






















sugar mat:

kiko sugar mat; colour number 633




















The first colour I choose turned out a little different than I expected. I thought this was just an ordinary mat colour, but as you can see, the container says Sugar Mat. The texture feels like sand and it looks like you sprinkled sugar over your nails. I have never in my life seen a nail polish like this (here in Belgium at least), so I'm actually kind of happy I actually bought this. It's something different than what I'm used to, and I defenitely like it!


fall colour:

kiko; number 325




















In my opinion, this colour is more something for fall, so I didn't try it out yet, and just like the next one, It's just a regular nail lacquer. I'm really looking forward to trying this out in fall and winter!


dark grey:

kiko; number 382




















Then the last nail polish I bought was this dark grey, almost black one. I believe it's actually the second darkest colour in their collection after black. I probably won't use this in summertime, I feel like this is a colour you should use in winter, because it's just too dark for summer...


what it looks like:




















In this picture, you can see what the pink sugar mat laquer looks like. You can't see it very well, but it kind of gives you an idea of what it's like.

ITALY

Tomorrow evening, I'm leaving for Italy for just over a week. I'm really looking forward to a little bit of a holiday, I feel like now I can finally relax after some very busy months (with college, and work). Not that I haven't had a good summer break, I've quite enjoyed my break until now (by going shopping etc... there will be a haul blog post about that when I get back!)

Back to the subject of Italy now! I've been in Italy a few times before, but always different regions, which I think is a good thing. I love travelling, and what I love most is to visit places I've never been before, rather than where I have been already.

While in Italy, there are quite some places I'm going to visit around there, so I will write a blogpost (or multiple) about my trip. My goal is also to snap some nice pictures, so that I can share a little of my holiday with you.
