L’Occitane is a brand that usually doesn’t create Limited Edition products for the Holiday Season but instead, creates beautiful gift sets full of their products that we all know and love. The most interesting gifts available in my opinion are the Advent Calendars. L’Occitane has two different ones available, a Signature and a Luxury Advent Calendar. I’ve received the L’Occitane Gift The Light of Provence Signature Advent Calendar, which I’m going to tell you more about down below.
I love wearing Color Contact Lenses to change up my make-up looks, especially during the Holiday Season and on special occasions. However, if you’re someone who only likes to wear color contacts occasionally like I do, buying them tends to feel wasteful since you only get one pair and usually made to last up to three months. This year, Desio has launched the Attitude Collection, consisting of different shades of One-Day Color Contact Lenses. These lenses are perfect of occasional wearers or someone who wants to spice up and change their looks daily. I’m going to tell you all about the Desio…
MAC Cosmetics has launched their Holiday 2017 collection called Snowball, full of amazing new products and gift sets with a Limited Edition packaging.

I was able to purchase the gift set and I’m going to show you all the products and if the highlighter is worth the hype.

For this season, Makeup Revolution has launched the Renaissance collection, inspired by the Renaissance Era.

Bobbi Brown has a launched a new lipstick line called Crushed Lip Color. This line consists of twenty shades, rich in Vitamin E, C and Beeswax for comfortable wear, hydrated, soft and kissable lips. With these lipsticks, a long-lasting “just kissed” stain effect can be created or built up for an intense color. I’ve received the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Lipstick in the shade Telluride, which I’m going to review in this post.
A powder formula lipstick!? Clinique introduces the Pop Lip Shadow Cushion Matte Lip Powder, a unique texture changing lip product that gives an explosion of color with a soft matte finish. The super intense, creamy and pigmented formula is supposed to glide effortlessly on the lips, changing into a weightless powdery finish. There are eight shades available in total. I’m going to try out the Clinique Pop Lip Shadow Cushion Matte Lip Powder in the shade Crimson Pop.
Hi all! I collaborated with Etos to show you a Simple Halloween Look. I wanted to launch this post last Friday however, due to personal circumstances (which is explained on my social media pages), I was only able to write this today. My apologies for that, I hope that you are still able to use this for today or the coming days until Halloween next Tuesday! For this look, you basically only need things that you may already have at home like foundation, concealer, bronzer/contour powder, blush, black eyepencil, black eyeshadow, red lipstick and a clear gloss. It’s a very easy…
Being someone who has a job outside the beauty industry and having no education in make-up, I’m always curious about the experiences and tips of make-up artists and other people who work in the beauty industry. Recently, I was able to interview the Bobbi Brown Director of Artistry & Education, Eliano Bou Assi. He was in The Netherlands for a few days to train the make-up artists working at the Bobbi Brown booths at Hudsons Bay. I asked him tons of questions which you can read down below.
For the holiday season, Etos has launched the Limited Edition Botanical Boost collection in collaboration with the Hortus Botanicus, which is a Botanical Garden in Amsterdam.

The scent for this years line is Rosemary & Fig, featuring several products for home and body. I’m showing you three products of the Etos Botanical Boost Rosemary & Fig Collection in this post.
Working 5 days a week having a high-paced job can have a huge impact on my sleep and stress-levels, which in turn results in dark under-eye circles. Bobbi Brown has an easy solution to cover those areas with their new Instant Full Cover Concealer. This concealer is supposed to have a strong pigmented coverage that brightens dark circles and softens fine lines in a blink. I’m putting the Bobbi Brown Instant Full Cover Concealer in Warm Beige to the test in this post.
Warm-toned eyeshadow palettes are still one of the most popular palettes around. Even after more than a year of it’s popularity, brands are still creating more variants.

Fenty Beauty is a new make-up brand created by the famous singer Rihanna. The beauty community has been praising this brand for having 40 different foundation shades called Pro Filt’r Foundation for the lightest to darkest skintones and everything in the middle. The foundation is supposed to have soft matte finish, which makes it more suitable for normal to oily skin types. However, I was still curious to see how the foundation would perform on my dry skin type, so I purchased the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation in the shade 240. I’m going to let you know what I think of this foundation…
The brand Kat von D has released the new Limited Edition Everlasting Mini Liquid Lipstick Set for the holiday season, featuring seven existing shades and one new exclusive shade.

One month ago, I wrote an article about my weightloss journey with Oenobiol Beauty Supplements, since these products that contain natural ingredients, enhancing beauty from within may help with losing additional weight. Since I’ve already covered describing the Oenobiol products in the previous article, I’m not going to discuss this now but you should definitely check that one out if you haven’t done so yet. For today’s post. I’m going to tell you about my experience using these products and some initial results after a month.

Etos offers a selection of new make-up products, including a matching lippencil and lipstick combination in the shades We Rebel Together and Purple Haze to create Vampy Fall Lips. I’m going to review and show this combination in this post.
