RIVER ISLAND SHOES AND PULL & BEAR TROUSER

Oops I did it again. Went to the market to buy some vegetables and ended up in River Island and Pull & Bear. I've told myself I ain't gonna buy nothing this week since I'm going to newcastle, UK, December 26. Guess now I will have less money to spent there!

BLACK PATENT BOOTS BY RIVER ISLAND

Not long time ago I posted a picture of these patent boots I wanted so bad but couldn't get them cause they were sold out in my size?
Well as usual when I go to the city I have to go to River Island to see what new they have in store and to my surprise the "restocked" these boots and they had my size! (Last pair) I was beyond happy and even more when I got €10 promotional discount! So I only paid €40

Like them as much as I do?

Let me know in the comment section below

Happy Holidays

MINI BEAUTY HAUL DUSSELDORF

Last Saturday I went on an one day trip to Dusseldorf to visit the Christmas market. It was super crowded but also super fun. It wasn't my intention to buy anything beauty related or visit stores we already have here in The Netherlands. But who was I kidding? When we were "done" walking around I went to their local drugstore. To my surprise almost everything are regularly half the price compared to The Netherlands. 

NEW IN: LEOPARD PRINT GLOVES

My hands are getting super cold, stif, dry and red with this weather. Only solution to this problem are gloves. 

I went to River Island and saw these Leopard print gloves and fell immediately in love. Guess my hands won't be suffering anymore.

I'm definitely gonna buy some more gloves, black ones, since these are printed and won't look good with every outfit.

REVIEW: BURT'S BEES REPLENISHING LIP BALM WITH POMEGRANATE OIL

Dry lips is one of the biggest problem during winter. Dry lips can also be super unatractive.

Since my lips are becoming super dry i decided to once again buy another lipbalm. 

New way to dress up your nails - Cuticle tattoos

Have you heard about the cuticle tattoo?  That's the new nail trend right now. (For me though since I just find out about it). This is an other fun and new way to spice up your nails.

The cuticle tattoo is basically a temporary tattoo or "sticker" which you can put on your cuticle to spice up your nail.

Kitch me if you can and The monkey gets funky by Catrice

Catrice cosmetics has a really nice variaty  of nail polishes. What caught my attention this time was (45) Kitch me if you can. It's a chunky pink glitter top coat (effect coat). I don't really like to use glitter polishes since they are super hard to take off but I thought since the holidays are coming this would be perfect to spice up my nails.

Next to this effect coat there was this pretty mauve color with gold sparkles in it - (23) The monkey gets funky. The color itself isn't that special but these two polishes were looking perfect next to each other. So I gave in and bought it so I can use it as a base for the effect coat.

Getting ready for the cold weather

The best thing about fall and winter is the cozy weather and it super cute items you can keep to keep yourself warm and comfortable. I just love the cold and the rain, well when I'm inside though. 

So since it started getting really cold I decided to go to Primark to buy some cute weather approved items. 

Primark always has the best and cutest things for this season and ofcourse super cheap.

Here's what I got till now

This bad robe is super soft. Sometimes I don't want to take it off

3 thermal socks and 2 of the cutest slippers (hope that's the right word)

I also bought a white fluffy throw for our bed. Will definitely post an after picture when I use and.

THE ERASER EYE BY MAYBELLINE

I've always wanted to try The Eraser Eye by Maybelline. Since I'm running out of my current concealer I decided to give this one a try. It claims to instantly conceal dark circles and fine lines. 
If I'm not mistaken you can get the Eraser Eye in 4 shades. I got the shade Light, the lightest one out of the 4 colors.

Can't wait to try it
In depth review will be up after using it

Here are some inspirational fall pictures with things I will be definitely wearing myself

CLEARASIL FACE CARE LINE

I'm a "hoarder" when it comes to face cleaning products. I'm constantly buying and testing out new products in the hope to find the perfect one for my oily skin. I've always been curios to try out Clearasil and since I ran out of my Formula 10.0.6 Daily Foam Cleanser(Review up soon) I decided to buy some Clearasil products

NEW IN: STUDS AND LION FACE

I always reward myself for whatever I do and accomplish. So after some busy weeks at work I decided to go to the city and see what's left from the ZARA sale since I haven't been there since the sale started...

FASHION NEWS: PRIMARK ON ASOS.COM

I must say that I'm not the biggest fan of Primark when it comes to their clothes but somehow I got really exited when I saw Primark on ASOS.com
Primark is a British store known for their cheap trendy clothes and accessories
So if you've heard of Primark but haven't been able to shop at their store this is your chance

Here's my favorite Primark pieces on ASOS.com

Primark Graffiti Print Midi Skirt
Primark Aztec Cut Out Skater Dress
Primark Wallpaper Print Midi Dress

SERIOUSLY SHINE FREE BY FORMULA 10.0.06

Remember my post about Formula 10.0.6 where I bought some of their Skincare items to test out? Since I want to do like a "full" review of this Skincare line I decided to buy the moisturizer as well. As described on the cover it's a matte finish moisturizer which will keep your skin smooth and shine free all day. We will see about that

NEW IN: HEMA Nailpolishes

I got two new HEMA nailpolish to add to my collection
As a huge OPI addict I've learn that it's not always about the brand but about the quality.
HEMA's Nail polishes are really high in quality. Definitely going to buy some more since their collection is huge and there's so much fun color that I would really like to have in my collection

NEW IN: Zara, New Look, Lush cosmetics, Sephora and Vero Moda♥

A girl can never have enough clothes, that's all I can say so I decided to go on a "mini" shopping spree
First I went to New Look. This is the second time since I came to the Netherlands that I bought something there. I'm not really fan of their clothes but since they where the only store that had midi dresses at my size I decided to go ahead and buy two

 Pink Aztec Sleeveless Midi Dress €19.99 Get it here

Black and White Aztec Stripe Sleeveless Midi Dress €17.99 Get Similar Here

I also fell in love with this necklace. It has this Egyptian style with it and I think it will look great with allot of things

Gold Rope Metal Necklace €9.99 Get it Here

Sephora will be closing it's door 25th of May here in The Netherlands so I decided to go take a look to see what I can still grab but sadly enough they didn't had almost nothing anymore. Only things they have in stock are Sephora brand items. Since I needed new mascara I decided to try out Sephora by Sephora. They where 3 for 10 Euro anyways
I got Ultra Black Triple Action Mascara, Lash Plumper and a Eyeliner in #02 Clubbing Stilletos

Jeans jacket are a must have and since I didn't own any I deiced to buy this one from Zara

 Zara Jeans Jacket €49.95

Along with this jeans jacket I also got these two tops

Beaded Top by Zara €39.95

I love the beading it has and it's also really feminine which I'm really into right now

Spring Top By Zara €27.95

I think Vero Moda(Lijnbaan) is closing so they where having this huge sale on everything. Tooo bad I just found out today and there wasn't that much things I like so I ended up buying only these two blazers. Again these are just basics for the wardrobe

 

They where €15 Each

Stepping Stone €5.55

Since it's almost sandal and slipper weather I decided to go to Lush to get myself I Stepping Stones( foot scrub). It has a really strong Citrus smell with it which I really like

I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED THIS HAUL

New In: H&M Mini Haul

I can't help myself but I'm constantly browsing through the sale section from H&M. There's always something to buy at a good price. This time was no exception. When I saw this mint blazer I immediately fell in love with it. I was a little scared though cause pics can be deceiving sometimes but when I got it, it was just exactly what I wanted it to be. This top is just something basic that you can dress it up easily. Also looks good with this blazer. Items will be featured in future OOTD posts

What do you guys think about my haul? Would you buy these items yourself?

Spring Ready: Outfit Inspiration by Chique and Glam

Can't wait for it to be warm to enjoy my Spring clothes, but while it's still cold outside here are some Spring Fashion Inspiration

New In: Tally Weijl Mini Haul❤

 I realized that every time I have an early shift which rarely happens I go to the city and going back home with things I don't need. This time was no exception. As we where "window" shopping I saw that Tally Weijl just opened their store in Rotterdam (Lijnbaan). I've heard about this store but I have never visit it until now. At first when I walked in I wasn't that exited. Their clothes wasn't exact my style (seems really old fashioned) but still I didn't leave empty handed (shopaholic problems)
I found this two colored jeans jacket on sale for just €19,99
I also got this necklace (boyfriend bought it for me) which will look really great with this jacket

Hope you enjoyed my mini haul and I really hope that this will be my last clothing purchases for April

New In: River Island Sale❤ and H&M

It's been such a long time since I've posted something. School and work has been keeping me super busy leaving me with no time to blog.
I went to the city Wednesday after almost a month (avoiding temptation) and As soon as we got there I saw the big red sign (Sale!!!) on River Island. So of course I had to go take a look. I picked allot of things (Retro style sunglasses is from H&M), especially bottoms and bags. As I was walking to the register I felt somehow bad for the amount of items I got and decided to only go with these items I'm about to show.
I'm really in love with my maxi skirt (black and grey one). It has a super sexy side split. Can't wait to wear it

All items will be featured in future OOTD posts

P.S. I'm really proud of myself for not buying the rest of the items just because they were on sale even though I still think I bought allot for an "unexpected" trip

Shades of Blue

I love OPI and I promised myself that I will never cheat on them, but these two colors of blue was so attractive that I couldn't resist. I'm talking about these HEMA nail polishes. I got #835, #836 and a top coat
These two shades are really nice. Review and swatches will be up next week
