LE Catrice & Essence collections

I got some amazing Essence & Catrice LE sets lately and I haven't showed them all. I have been using them on a regular base, so I thought I'll just make a color wheel out of it :)

Essence-Fairytale (5 /6), Catrice - Big City Life, Essence - Ballerina Backstage, Catrice - Welcome to Las Vegas, and the last 2 spots for my Hema polishes.

Thanks to lovely Dolores and Ivana I got these 5 polishes yay!! I totally missed out on them, and I can't even recall if they were released in the Netherlands. I know Germany had them...but I ran into an empty display a couple of times boehoeee... From left to right; 2 Pixie Dust, 3 Once upon a time, 4 Humpty Dumpty, 5 Tinka's Dress & 6 Welcome to Wonderland.

Lubly Catrice's Big City Life collection. Loooved their palettes, but didn't buy any for myself :S Cause I had only just bought heaps of MAC and Kiko make-up and well...can't have it all right?! 1 London, 2 Berlin, 4 New York & 3 Sydney. I have no clue why they picked these colors for the cities really...

 Essence - Ballerina Backstage, it took me a while to complete this. I had to travel to a couple of small villages nearby. 1 Dance the Swan Lake, 2 Wear your little tutu, 3 On your gracile tiptoe, 4 Do a floating pirouette and 5 Grand-plie in black (omg...this one is gorgeous!!!) I truelly think nr 5 was a huge hit. Is it me or am I the only one thinking nr 3 & 4 are sorbets?? they applied so weird and were so see-through.

Catrice's Welcome to Las vegas...I love them...all!! I even bought the black/gold glittery eyeliner and I wish I bought more of them. The body dustthingy I havn't used yet, but I felt that needed to come home as well :) 1 Lovely Sinner, 2 Alluring Night, 3 Star of the Show & 4 Drama Queen. Again the last one a black, glitters in this one are more subtle then Grand-plie in black. I love it and I think I'll polish my toes with it just now.

Hhmm I had 2 "spots" left so I used my 2 Hema Jip&Janneke polishes for it. They're not named just extremely colored :) a fuchsia pink and a silver. Apply okayish, shine well and were cheap!

Time to say goodby....

e...no way!!! I'm not going anywhere mhuahaha :)

I'm very excited cause the items I own from Teeez are amazing and I feel somewhat honored the sent me this...but I will be completly honost about my reviews ;)

BB cream

Garnier released an a-ma-zing product!!! I actually have no idea when it was introduced first, but I do know it's been around a coupld of months. Just had to wait for the proper bargain discounts as I didn't wan't to spend full price on it, but I wish I did buy it earlier :)

BB-cream, no Idea what it stands for...all in 1 daily miracle skin protector. 1) fades away little visible lines , 2) evens your skin 3) glows your skin 4) hydrates your skin 24h (now this is weird cause I do tend to wash my face before going to bed, why do I wan't it to hydrate 24h?! ) and 5) spf 15 protection oeh!  ( I picked out the light version, there is a darker version available for us as well )

Now check out what it does to my skin, I took a wee bit drop on my hand and rubbed it in. Compare the first with the last photo to see how my little spots on my hands "disappeared"

Yes you can still see 2 tiny brown spots/birthmarks, but the others are almost gone. But this is all without the feeling of a thick layer really. I love it so much. My face indeed feels very very hydrated and nourished during the day. I don't have to wear any foundation since this covers well enough. It doesn't smear on clothing at all. I will use this more often for sure!

my new MAC obsession

I can't really recall when it all happend, but I'm pretty sure my NY trip had to do somethign about it....but I'm slightly getting addicted to MAC cosmetics. Already bought some items here in NL, I still find the prices quite high here. Yes I know I know quality /price blabla, but I really think this brand is worth the money, only just US dollars not my euros. So I bought a couple of items on allmakeupwholesale and had the opportunity to swap some on MUA as well yay!!

sheen supreme lipstick Impressive, paint pots Girl Friendly & Delft, liquidlast liner Visionaire, fluidline Blitz&Glits (with tiny brush, very very handy!!) and a studio fix pressed powder which I will not use, yet, till my end of the swap has arrived.

Now I'm not very handy with the paintpots yet, I have a little practise to do :) Specially the blueish Delft as it can "stain" quite a bit if I don't smear it out even. Was thinking of buying a descent brush for it, but I have no clue which brush as I searched down for tutorials it seems everybody uses his/her own kind of way to apply it :S Ideas are always welcome!!

I'm completly in looove with the lipstick and pink eyeliner, I mean...they're so pinkish both!! What more do you want :)
