It’s been a while, but none the less I’ve still been giving myself a new nail art every week. If you want any tutorials just holla at me!


 Tomorrow it’s world animal day, so maybe it’s a fun idea to give your pet a manicure?

Until next time!



More M.U.S.T.

This mainly matt eye shadow pallet is from Makeup studio, a brand i talked about a few articles back.  This is the first thing I bought from M.U.S.T. my first pallet! As you can see it contains 18 different colors.

There is not much to say about this pallet because I can’t find anything about how much it contains or the names or numbers of the colors anywhere. You can buy this particular pallet on http://www.visagieshop.nl/index.html were you can buy more M.U.S.T.

Until next time!

Nail that art

Here's some of my nail art of the last weeks.

Maybe some inspiration for the nail art fans.

Until next time!

Kiko vs. MAC vs. Chanel

I am over the moon with my Gem of Roses lipstick, it is just the perfect your-lips-but-better color.  But at the beginning of this year I bought one of the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks, I have it in my purse because it’s not that flashy. But as it just goes you kinda forget it’s in there, but after I bought Gem of Roses I thought i would be a pretty good dupe. The colors are very similar, but the Gem of Roses was a limited edition so you can’t get it anymore, but if you still want that color you now can see 2 dupes.

So we got the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Fetiche #52. This one is the most sheer and fades the fastest. It's a really creamy lipstick that glides on with the grandest of ease. But the down fault is, it's €29. That's a lot of cheddar yo! Yes, that is a lot of cheddar.

Next is the MAC Gem of Roses. This one is a luster lipstick. It was part of the Semi Precious collection and was a favorite among lots of beauty lovers. It was €17.50 so that is less expensive but still not really budget.

The Kiko is #399 of the creamy lipsticks. This one is the darkest of them all. I am not very familiar with the Kiko creamy lipsticks but it smells nice, and I’ve wore it for an afternoon and it’s still pretty decent. So for the small price of €6.50 you’ll do fine!

Until next time!

Shopping Germany style

[Warning pic heavy!]

So I went to Centro in Oberhausen again, with the loverrrly Wendy. I kept it pretty decent with the shopping, but momma needs her retail therapy! So this is what I got:

Earrings at Forever 18 €2.99

Brushes at the Douglas by Beliance, both made of martenhair and €3.95

Essence 03 Hello Holo at the DM €1.75 and KIKO #219 at the Kiko store €1.50

The first is a regular swatch, the second after I tried to rub it off. (clearly I couldn't)

Kiko cream waterproof eyeliner #03 Midnight Blue €3.70

Kiko creamy lipstick #399 €4.50

Kiko sunscreen gloss #02 Rose €3.75

Kiko cleansing water for delicate skin €6.90 Kiko softening toner all skin types €5.90
I'm gonna review them both after trying.

Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit washgel microclear technology €4.95
I'm gonna review this one too, after trying offcourse.

Kiko pure clean instant make up removing wipes €5.90
It's supposed to get off waterproof make up too, so I'm gonna test that szizzle.

Well that was all the stuff. If we tally that up it's €49.74, that's not even €50 so I think that's decent.
Maybe with all the new stuff I'm gonna take care of my skin a little bit more? I don't do that now because I'm a lazy ass.
Unyil next time!

Make up goddess

This article will be a little off topic. But bear with me people, it will be interesting.

I’ve always wondered how you pronounce the name of the cosmetic brand NYX. Is it just one word, an abbreviation or maybe it’s an acronym? Even though I am not sure how to say NYX it always reminds me of the Greek goddess Nyx. So in this article I want to tell you about the beautiful goddess Nyx.

Nyx was the goddess of the night, and the mother of personified gods such as Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). She doesn’t appear a lot in the Greek myths, but she was known for her exceptional beauty and power.

The myth tells that Chaos created Gaea (earth), Nyx (night) and Erebos (deep darkness or shadow). With her brother Erebus she made Aether (atmosphere) and Hemera (day). In some myths she also gave birth to Apathe (deceit), Geras (age), the Moerae (the three fates), Momos (blame) and Philotes (tenderness), most of them resided in the underworld. Orpheus describes her as a goddess with incredible black wings, residing in the underworld by day and came out at night. She would be accompanied by Wind and put a silver egg in the lap of darkness.

In Ilias by Homerus he writes that because she was older and more powerful then Zeus he feared her and commanded her wishes. On one of Heracles’ quests Hypnos lulled Zeus into a sleep to create a storm. When Zeus awoke and saw that Heracles has gotten off course he was furious and threatened to throw Hypnos into the depts of Erebus for punishment. When Hypnos fled into the arms of his mother Nyx, Zeus recanted. He didn’t dare to speak up to the more powerful goddess of night.

Nyx lived in Tartarus which was considered both a place and also the name of her brother. The stories say that at and above the gates of Tartarus are the sources and ends of heaven, earth and sea. It is said that both Day and Night live here in the same home, behind the gates of Tartarus yet they are never there at the same time. The myths say that when one, either night or day, crosses the earth, the other will wait at home. They will greet each other only at the threshold where Atlas holds up heaven. Her element was water, her planet the moon, her colors silver and black, her animals owls and bats and her associated symbols were stars on a black veil. Nyx had prophetic powers and was usually depicted riding a chariot, with trailing stars bringing the night, and accompanied by her two sons Hypnos and Thánatos. She could be helpful or harmful to mankind, bringing either sleep or death.

Well after this history lesson I won’t quiz you, so put away your pen and paper. I think this goddess kind of fits the cosmetic brand, since she was supposed to be very pretty and powerful. And isn’t that what we all want to be, confident and beautiful? I know I do.

Until next time!

MAC all around!

[Warning, pic heavy]

I am quit proud of my MAC pallets so I wanted to show my pretty baby’s. It isn’t to brag, ok maybe a little, but just give me this moment. My pallets are sorted by color and they are pressed pigments and eye shadows mixed. I removed my separation from the pallets so I could fit more into them. So here we go! 

Teal, One-Off, Steamy, Blue Brown, Humid, Swimming, Juxt

Golden Olive, Copperized, Old Gold, Lucky Green, Coco Motion, Tan, Gold Mode

Gold Stroke, Chocolate Brown, Copper Last, Embark, Sweet Sienna, Dark Soul, Black Tied

Atlantic, Fresh Water, Clarity, Electric Eel, Moon's Reflection, Cornflower, Tilt

Sky Blue, Aire-de-blu, Frozen White, Frost, Quietly, Cobalt, Purple Haze

Violet, Cranberry, Plum Dressing, Star Violet, Pinked Mauve, Swish, Viz-a-violet

Passionate, Fuchsia, Post Haste, Brash & Bold, Rose, Stars 'n' Rockets, Budding Beauty

Kitch-mas, Sweet Lust, Helium, Pink Opal, Vanilla, Gold Dusk, Pink Bronze

Melon, Coral, Copper Sparkle, Orange, Golden Lemon, Chrome Yellow, Bright Future

Fairy Lite, Nehru, Shroom

The quad contains more than MAC so that explains why I only swatched 3 colors and there being 5 pan’s in the quad. In the quad I keep my everyday and much used colors.

Some of the eye shadow were depotted, to save some space. I depotted them with the flame method so I could take them our unharmed. It is the easiest and safest way to depot your make up. I hope the swatches will help if you are looking for a specific color, or check the color before you buy it online.

Until next time!
