Beautiful fall fashion colour : burgundy / wine colour

Hey guys,

This fall you'll see a lot of burgundy or wine coloured clothes. And guess what I'm in love with these colours! From pants to dresses, they're everywhere this fall and winter. For a couple of items from different stores and price ranges check out my pictures below.

To start with, here's a beautiful lace top from ted baker. Available from 129 pounds (+/- 150 euros). It's a beautiful lace top that would look pretty with some burgundy or black bottoms. Because this fall "simple is the new black" as they all say.
If you want to buy it check out this site: ted baker




Now over to some pants who are more affordable in my opininon. I found these pants on topshop. They're sold for 49 euros. They look so pretty with some black boots and a white blouse or top. If you want these, go buy them at topshop.



And for our shoes, I went with some ankle booties from asos.com. They have a pretty small heel but if you prefer some comfortable shoes, you can definitely go with some burgundy sneakers or flat boots or flats or so.  ASOS (39 euros)





Now over to some chique clothing. For a less casual look I went for the ted baker dress who is colour blocked dress with some burgundy and black. Because of the black on the sides of the dress your waist will look a whole lot slimmer. This dress would look pretty with the previous shoes and the handbag I'll talk about next. ted baker (+/-190 euros)

And to end with here's my favourite pic. It's a perfect bowling kind of bag. It looks sofisticated and will go with a lot of clothes and will make any look stand out. It retailes for about 260 euros, which is quite expensive but definitely worth thinking about. ted baker








So I thank you for checking out my burgundy inspired post. Hope to see you soon again guys!

My beautyblogger wishlisht

Hey guys,

As I was looking at a lot of different blogs of you guys and other beautybloggers, I saw there were a lot of wishlisht posts going on. So I thought I would join this upcoming trend. Below you can see which items I would love to have. Definitely let me know which items you wish for.

nr. 1 First of all I'm going to start off with my personal favourite, the Michael Kors Hamilton satchel in black with gold hardware. If you also like this bag, it's available on michaelkors.com and various Michael Kors stores.

nr. 2 Now over to some makeup products. The eyeshadow I really want at the moment is the creamy color tattoo from maybelline in pink gold. I recently bought the taupe version, so if you want a review on this product, please let me know.

nr. 3 I also want a new makeup brush set. It's the core set from Realtechnique brushes made by pixiewoo. I've heard they're real nice and soft brushes that apply well and aren't that expensive actually.

nr. 4 The third makeup product I'd like is the Chubby stick from clinique. I'm still not quite sure which colour I want. But if you have a favourite colour, definitely let me know!

nr. 5 Now over to the last makeup product: the L'Oreal Carbon Black Telescopic Precise Liquid Eyeliner in black. I didn't really read a lot of reviews on this product, but if you have tried this product out definitely let me kow!

nr. 6 And yes, we're already onto the last product. It's a necklace from j-crew, a supernice store in the USA and maybe also in other countrys?

So guys, this was my wishlist at the moment. If you want me to do these more often, let me know. And please let me know if you have any of these products and what you think of them xxx

The beauty blogger tag

Hey guys, 

A couple of days ago I was tagged to answer some beauty questions by Jackie Harrisson. She has a beauty and fashion related blog, you should definitely check her out: www.tifi11.blogspot.com

The rules of this tag are:
1- State this tag was created by http:/www.thebeaubow.blogspot.ca
2- Tag some more beauty bloggers
3- Title this as I've done to show what the tag is about.
4- Answer the questions

Now over to the questions themselves.

Q: Name the beauty routine you barely do!
A: I barely do liquid eyeliner or other eyeliner. Me and the liquid eyeliner didn't always get along, but recently I started using it more often, but still not very frequently!

Q: Is washing your makeup brushes something you regularly do?
A: I wash my makeup brushes frequently, because I don't want breakouts from the bacterias or so from the brushes. With eyeshadowbrushes I like to do it even more often when I use different colours, otherwise they get mixed up. And I wouldn't want some purple eyeshadow on my lid when I'm doing a nude eye look.

Q: How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?
A: I like not to last my chipped nailpolish very long, because it doesn't look very clean. On lazy days the chance I don't remove my nailpolish is greater than on days when I have to go to certain events.

Q:  How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e. top coat, foundation etc)?
A: It depends on the product for me. When it comes to basic face products like bb cream or so, I'll replace it faster than nail polish products or eyeshadows or so. 

Q: What is your worst beauty habit?
My worst beauty habit is definitely forgetting to remove my makeup when coming home from a party or so. Recently I used more makeup wipes when I come home, but I should definitely use face wash when I come home from events.

Q: Name something non-beauty related you put off doing all the time?
I don't really have something in mind right now, but I'll definitely let you know when I think of something.

Q: When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not?
Nope, I definitely don't do that. I like to start getting ready a couple hours before I have to leave. I do'nt really like to hurry, so I don't put this off. 

Q: Can you submit to spending bans?
I may do this for a couple of days, but a whole month or so won't happen.

Q: How organized is your makeup and nail polish collection?
My nailpolish collection is pretty organized, but there's still some work on my makeup collection. Next week I'll go to ikea to get some organization stuff to finally get my makeup organized. 

Q: What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?
That's about a week since I went to a festival , where internet didn't really work. Otherwise I would have probably posted a post while I was gone.

Green eyemakeup look - shisheido

Hey guys,

As I already promised you all, I'm here with the eye makeuplook of my niece. It's a beautiful green eye look and if you want to recreate this one, you can find the products below.

In the inner corner of her eyes , she applied the shisheido eyeshadow in gr 708. In the outer corner she applied the shisheido eyeshadow in gr 707. She blended these colours well and applied a black eyeliner, who turned into a more green colour because of the eyeshadow. The eyeshadows are cream eyeshadows and very nice to apply.

These colours go really well with hazelnut eyes, I don't think they'll look as pretty with blue eyes. But I'm not sure of that. You guys could try it out and let me know what you think about it.

When you like this green look, let me know and I'll try to recreate this look with some drugstore eyeshadows.

I hope you like this look. I'll keep you posted for more eyeshadow looks and other posts.

ELF haul & first impressions review

Hey guys,

As I announced in my sneek peak earlier today, I've received my order from elf (eyeslipsface). Jeuj! I'm going to do a little haul and mini review or first impressions for you.

First of all I'm going to start with the product I was most excited about: the stippling brush. I'm going to use this brush for cream blush and foundation and I'm curious on how he'll work for me. This brush costs 4dollars and is a part of the studio line. When I tried it a couple of times and like it, I'll do a review on it sometimes.

Then over to another beauty tool: the ELF professional eyeshadow brush. And please guys don't take the name to serious, it's a one-dollar brush but I like my first impressions on it. It's a nice dense and soft brush. I'll probably be using this brush to applie my eyeshadow on the lid. It may work for highlighting beneath your eyebrows, but I'm not sure yet.


Now over to the face makeupproducts. First, I bought the ELF studio line blush (also 4 dollars) in the shade tickled pink. The colour looks pretty much the same as on the website, so I like that. The consistency seems nice as well. And I'll be glad to use this product and may include it in one of my next makeuplooks.  Ps. sorry for the photo, but my blogger couldn't make it stand the other way.

For my face I also bought a concealer: the elf corrective concealer. It comes in four shades: two beige shades for all imperfections, a green shade to cover up redness and a pinky shade to cover up your dark circles. I really like the concept of using different colours of concealer to make your skin flawless. I used a concealer palette like this in the past and I liked it, so I hope I'll like this one as well.




Now something about the waterproof eyeliners, I swatched here on my hand. The left one is the eyeliner in black and the right one is the eyeliner in coffee. They both cost 1 dollar , so I thought the consistency probably wouldn't be very nice, but I like it so far. Swatching them on my hand, they glide on smoothly and I do like both colors. The black liner is maybe more edgy and the brown one is definitely suitable for a neutral day look.

I didn't only get eyeliners, but also a pearl white eye widener. I bought this white eyepencil to brighten up my eyes and maybe highlight beneath my eyebrows. I tried it on my hand and it glided on properly as well, I think this pencil has a nice creamy texture, which is nice for the sensitive eye-area.

And to end with, I also bought the elf makeup mist & set, a setting spray for your face makeup. I really like the packaging and I hope it will make my makeup stay on a lot longer in summer. But except for this I can't really tell you anything else before trying this product out.

Hope you guys enjoyed my little haul and when you want me to do a whole review on a specific product , please let me know in the comments.

Sneek peak elf haul & preview

Hey guys,

Tuesday I ordered a couple of elf-products. For the people who don't know the brand yet: it's a more affordable makeupbrand that is available only online in the most parts of the world. But when you live in the States , I heard you can also buy it in some targets. If somebody knows where to get this brand in stores in your country, please let me know. ELF stands for eyes lips face and I heard a lot of people who were raving about this brand. But for me this will be the first experience with elf-products. 

When I'm saying this brand is affordable, I mean like really affordable! You've got three lines : the 1-dollar line, the studio line and the minerals line. I bought some products from the 1-dollar line and the studio line (3-4 dollars for most products). 

I'm going to test the products later this day, so stay tuned for little reviews and swatches of the products later today. 

Hope you guys are excited as well for the reviews. When you want me to do a review of a product you want to try or so, please let me know. 

xx
