NEW IN: YANKEE CANDLE WAX TARTS

I'm not that innocent anymore. I cheated on Bath and Body works and got myself some Yankee Candle wax tarts. I've been eager to buy them for a while now but never got around them until last Wednesday when I took a trip to Amsterdam.

When I got to the store (Yankee Plaza in the Magna Plaza Amsterdam) I couldn't believe my eyes. They have a really huge assortiment which made is super difficult for me to choose from. Since I'm so over this cold weather I decided to get some spring and summer scents.

I got Pineapple Cilantro, Citrus Tango, Clean Cotton, Mango Peach Salsa and Champaca Blossom.

I find them to be a little pricey though. The wax tarts are €2.50 each. 
I'm gonna cut them in 4 parts so I can get the most use out of them.

I'm so glad that they don't have a yankee candle store near me otherwise I will find myself there every week.

Q: Which one is your favourite? Bath and body works or Yankee candle?

COLLECTION: BATH AND BODY WORKS CANDLES

I'm officially a Bath and Body Works candle addict. It all started when I bought my first Bath and Body Works candle at Chique Cosmetique here in Rotterdam. I got the Homemade Cookie and was hooked since then. 

For those of you who's not familiar with BBW, it's an American brand that sells body products such as soaps and lotions, spa and skin products and of course candles which they are super famous for.

BEAUTY: NO MORE DRY LIPS PERFECT COMBO

It's the most wonderful time of the year but also the worst time for my lips.
I have the whole year around dry lips but winter time they get the worst.
I've tried so many chap sticks but nothing help until I've tried out this combo.

REVIEW: YVES ROCHER PURE CALENDULA DAY AND NIGHT CREAM

 In todays post I will be reviewing the Yves Rocher Pure Calendula day and night cream.
One can never have enough face products or better said I'm always on that never ending search for the best day and night cream.

NEW IN: YVES ROCHER CHRISTMAS BROCHURE UNBOXING

I didn't need anything but when I got the Yves Rocher Christmas brochure in the mail I knew I had to get me some things. I think it's really important to spoil yourself sometimes and just buy things you don't really need.
I love Yves Rocher when it comes to face and bath products. They have always the cutest packaging.

NEW IN: O.P.I. NAIL POLISHES AND SWATCHES

I'm very weak when it comes to nail polish, especially O.P.I. 
Big Bazar (the Netherlands only) was having an amazing deal again on O.P.I. nail polishes and I knew I had to get me some. 
They had some amazing colours this time but I told myself I'm only gonna get 3. (well I'm regretting it now and I'm thinking about buying 3 more).

REVIEW: GARNIER MICELLAR WATER

I've seen this cleansing water all over Instagram ever since I moved to the Netherlands. Never thought I would get it since I was very pleased removing my make-up with make up wipes (for the lazy days) until last week when I decided it was time to try something new.

PRIMARK SCARVES - WHY SPEND ALLOT WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY SAVE?

It's been along time since I went to Primark. I used to go there every month, not necessarily to buy something but to just browse around and see what's trending.

Since the opening of different Primark stores here in the Netherlands and seeing tons and tons of hauls I decided that it's time for me to start visiting Primark more often.

SALLY HANSEN MIRACLE GEL - REVIEW

If you follow me on Instagram you might already know that I bought the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel. I was super exited when I saw them and I knew I had to buy one to test out. Well, I wanted to buy more since they have a huge color variety and I couldn't decide which one to get first. I ended up with 110 - Birthday Suit. A simple nude color, perfect for every season.

ESSENCE EXPRESS DRY SPRAY REVIEW AND NOTW

In this post I will be reviewing Essence express dry spray. I saw this spray on a fellow bloggers Instagram and I knew I had to go out and buy it hoping that I will work.

I love painting my nails but since I'm always busy, or better said doesn't always have the patience for it to dry, that it often turns out in quite a mess.

NEW IN: FALL SHOES (TOPSHOP AND PULL & BEAR)

While allot of us are sad cause summer is coming to an end (well feels already like fall here in the Netherlands), I can't wait for it to be fall already. Despite the shitty weather which I don't really mind, fall has definitely become my favourite season.  
Like always I love to shop for new seasonal clothes, especially shoes.
I bought myself two new shoes which was both on sale!

WORTH THE SPLURGE: MAYBELLINE THE COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS MASCARA (+REVIEW)

Beauty products can be really expensive sometimes but some items are worth the splurge.
I can go weeks without lipstick or even sometimes without foundation, but I'll never leave the house without mascara.
I've been using the Colossal Volum' Express by Maybelline ever since I started using mascara. It was my first and basically the only brand of mascara I tried and immediately fell in love with.

SHORT POST: O.P.I. STAINLESS STEEL AND STIR-FRIED EGGPLANT SWATCHES

Here are some swatches of my newest O.P.I nail polishes

Bought them recently (total of 3) in an awesome deal Big Bazaar (The Netherlands only) was having.

I AM NECKLACES - SALE ITEMS

I don't know why but I never seem to visit I AM stores (only once i think) but this time I took a visit thanks to those SALE signs. I found two necklaces for just €5 and I knew I had to get them. I have a similar one as the first one but with Silver chain so I thought Gold chain would be nice for a change. 

I love these types of necklaces on plain simple shirts. 

VICTORIA'S SECRET BODY LOTION MINI HAUL

I'm thinking about opening my own drugstore or bath and body type of store. I've been buying allot of shower gels and body lotions. Its like my weakness.

Remembered my The Body Shop post? Well, I promised myself I wouldn't buy any body lotion, shower gel or whatsoever anymore till I, at least, use up 2 of them. But guess what, I bought myself 2 body lotion. Did I needed them? NO, but oh they smell so amazing I couldn't resist.

As you might know (those living in the Netherlands) Etos was having a great offer on VS body lotions and body mist. I went to 3 different Etos but they were already sold out. Honestly I was happy cause I saved myself some money until yesterday.

They have tons left so it was a little challenging for me not to go overboard. 

I got Midnight Exotics and Aqua Kiss.

Are you a sucker for body lotions, fragrances and shower gels like I am?

SWEATER WEATHER HAUL

Weather has been acting up really bad lately. The one minute it's raining and then it's sunny again. But I don't mind cause I got my sweaters ready!

THE BODY SHOP SALE HAUL

I get super exited whenever I see the sale sign especially at the body shop. I really love The body Shop but I think that the prices are a little too much. Even though they offer great quality products I still don't want to pay €16 for example for a body butter.

Well, as I said The Body Shop is having their summer sale so it was perfect for me to get myself some bath and body products. I didn't go overboard since I didn't actually needed anything. Well, they didn't had that much left where I went otherwise I would have got more to be honest.

I got the Passion fruit body butter and shower gel and a vineyard peach body butter. I wish they had the vineyard peach shower gel as well cause it smells amazing.

TIP: The Body Shop products are great as gifts. So I recommend, if you can of course, to buy some when they're on sale. It saves you money and you don't have to worry anymore for those last minute parties.

Sale ends August 3 while supply last

If you bought anything from their sale please share your link with me in the comments below or on my Facebook page. I love watching other peoples body shop haul

FAVORITE SUMMER BAG - PARROTS EVERYWHERE

It was love at first sight when I saw this bag. As a Caribbean girl I always loved birds, especially parrots so I couldn't resist and bought the cutest parrots bag ever at H&M. They also have a watermelon want in case you're not a bird/parrot person. The watermelon one was also really cute but this one just screamed my name since it's so colourful.
