yummy oils!!

Have you seen or even smelled the latest oils from The Body Shop????

I saw an advert in my mailbox, but I didn't really pay any attention to it. The advert was more about sort of a ladiesnight where new products would be introduced, such as make-up by Lily Cole, but it showed a small pictures of the small bottles of new body oils as well.

I was in Antwerp last saterday and I had to smell them. They come in small bottles of 100ml in different scents; strawberry, mango, pink grapefruit, shea, olive, sweet lemon,coconut, chocomania, satsuma, cocoa butter & moringa. The shop had a special introduction discount of 20% and I had to have one...well after I smelled em I actually wanted two, but the moringa was already being sold out boehoee.  I picked out the mango one and already used the tester all over my arms and hands so I could smell it's scent the entire day.

I stole this pic from the interwebzs

I looooove this fresh scent. It's really fruity, not too heavy and it reminds me of summer. As the bottle discribes you can either use it on skin (both body and face) or in your hair...which I haven't tried out yet, but I can imagine if you're a beach girl and want to protect your hair you would use this a lot! It dries up quite fast as well so your skin doesn't feel greasy all day. The only thing is I need to take care when to use it as my bf has a severe nutallergy and guess what it contains...a combination of 3 different kind of nut oils :)

Ooeehh

A quick tiny post in between the madness called life ;)

I received a small package from OPI NL....I won goodies from a give-away on Facebook wooop!!

I stole this photo from the interwebz!!

But to reaallly wrap this up, here is my sweet Lola sunbathing after a hard day of being lazy in the garden :)

 

hurray scored some LE Catrice & Essence

I was once lucky again to get my hands on some of the LE of Essence and Catrice, since we have the worst drugstore in the entire NL boehoee...but I nagged about it too much already ;)

Catrice LE Revoltaire;
all 5 polishes; Innocent Toxin, Attracting Camouflage, Colour Bomb, Colour of Honor, Mission Lilac
Colour Bomb blush
Both eyeshadow boxes; Toxic Combination, Explosive Combination
Lipstick nr 2 Nude Alarm, I didn't buy the others cause I wouldn't wear them. This is more my kind of color.

I really love the design of this LE. The eyeshadow boxes look very professional for such a cheap brand, but when you open them up..woooweee...some weird musty smell comes from them :S I didn't dare to use them yet. I'm gonna leave them for a bit till the smell wears off first haha.

Essence LE Fruity
Banana Joe, Peach Beauty, Very Cherry,  Mashed Berries and I got the scented tc. I only bought the polishes that caught my eye...and 1 was already sold out boehoee, so if anyone has a spare One Kiwi a Day...I would love to have it in my collection!!

Sooo much to try out again aahhh....

I think I will put myself on a no-buy polish regime for a while. I have such a big stash now, and so many colours not used yet and not payed enough attention to. And!! I should do more stamping, just because it's fun alone

Yesss this is my very first ever made lemon meringue pie :) My sweet friend Susannah who visited us (with hubby ofc) for a weekend in NL thought me her family recipe. Though the process had a slow start as I didn't buy the right flour, it ended up well. It does need more practise, but it looked and tasted soooo gooood :)

back with polish on my fingorsz

Wow...an entire month without any posts, I should really stop taking breaks so long haha.

For the entire month we've been busy redoing our attic and cleaning out the entire house. Since we moved in we used the attic as an extended storage space and only stuffed it with boxes or items we perhaps want to sell on Evulbay. But with the visit of our Uk friends, we had plenty of time to finally sort things through and really redo the place. So each evening after work and even during the weekend it was all about cleaning, throwing stuff away/drive to the citydump, and paint. Which meant for me extremely dry skin on body and hands, not to even mention my nails....oow wow they have suffered so much :S

During this month I went to Amsterdam, yes again :), with my colleague to a certain Vichy/LaRoche Posay sunseminar...but not without some shopping as we both had the day of and the seminar started after diner. I finally picked up my 3 eyeshadows at Inglot.

Now this was very hard for me to do as I always go for pinks and purples, I sooo wanted something different and googled my way for swatches. 44 (shine), 419 (pearl) and 444 (pearl), but one them is not the color I picked out, I wanted it to be moe with a hint of blueish but it was sold out so picked out a different one. Together they look amazing...but since green is new to me I still have to "play" with it more to create my own look :)

And yaaay, no more heavy cleaning or painting so it was time to do something to my hands :S I have them a nice treatment with a handsoak with Koh products, filed them down, erased the extreme excessive cuticles and painted them in my newly bought Essie polish. Yes you read that, Essie...my silly country started selling Essie at the Etos-shops and they were on a discount atm. I have bought an Essie polish on my NY trip and euhm...how shall I say this..it was super cheap/normal pricedd. But when some brands hit this shore and being sold out here prices almost double up or in some cases triple up and I aks myself why??? But I love the colors soooo muuchh and it's good quality, and I always say; I dont smoke, so I have "spare" money to spend (no offence on smokers, but that's just my way of approvel to spend money hahaha).

I ended up buying 2 bottles of Essie, Dive Bar and Smokin Hot.

And I luuuub em :)

Sooo what did I miss this month?! What have you been up to??
