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.

Passion Fruit Body Butter | Vineyard Peach Body Butter | Passion Fruit Bath and Shower Gel

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

I will use #2 more as a what "dressier" summer bag for either a walk downtown or a dinner at the beach.

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.

MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS - PINK PUNCH AND CHERRY ME

Don't you just hate when you're all done standing in line to pay and you see all those gems at the counter? Well, it happens to me every time. Even though I always wanted to try them and heard so many good things about them, I never really thought of buying them simply because I have to much lip balm. This time I couldn't resist and went away and bought them. They were just €2,50 I got Cherry Me and Pink Punch. At first I thought they are going to be more sheer but they are more pigmented than I thought. I really love them and wear them almost everyday!

REVIEW: FRESH GEL UNDEREYE BAGS, EYES CARE BY YVES ROCHER

Hey Friends, I'm doing another review today. It's the Hydra Vegetal Fresh Gel Undereye Bags by Yves Rocher. I got this as a gift with my purchase which came perfectly on time. I've been sleeping really late and waking up really early which are giving me every girls nightmare, under eye bags and dark circles.  

NEW IN: H&M HAUL ALL IN BLACK WITH A POP OF COLOR + VOGUE T-SHIRT

This isn't really spring and summer approved but I couldn't resist. It's been a long time since I bought some things or even visited H&M. I can't remember why I stopped so I decided that it was time to start visit H&M again.
To my surprise I bought some things and for no more than €40. Happy wallet, happy me.
Even though they are super basic I still wanted to share them.
I also couldn't resist and bought the Vogue Magazine so I can get the Vogue T-shirt.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE: 100% JUICE

I've never heard of these juices until I was walking in Big Bazaar. They caught my eyes by their cute packaging and of course by the 100% on it. They are the 100% juice, no preservatives so it's 100% natural.

They currently have 3 flavours right now, Simply Red, Bananarama and Beetle Juice.

MAKE UP HAUL - TREKPLEISTER BOGO ON MAKEUP

I always miss out on the 1+1 sales different drugstore have here in the Netherlands. I'm either working, have schoolstuff to do or find out when the stores are already closed. I don't mind cause I save some money but this sale is probably the best way to buy make up (either necessities or products to test out). Anyways back to the good stuffs. I bought 6 items, two lip glosses, a foundation, a highlighter and a brow pencil...

PRIMARK HAUL - MAY EDITION

As you might know from my Inspiration post I posted a couple of days ago you might know I'm in a desperate need of some new Spring/Summer approved clothes.

I decided to start of with Primark first just because I still haven't visit Forever 21 in Amsterdam and has a feeling I will be spending allot there. So still trying to save some more money so I can go all out there! 

Back to Primark, I bought two tops and two shoes...

I OWN A BESTSELLER - MORINGA BY THE BODY SHOP

I finally bought the famous Moringa from The Body Shop. I don't think it needs any introduction.
I got the XL shower gel and the body butter. I was going to buy only the body butter but ended up getting the shower gel as well thanks to the good work of the salesgirl.
At first I didn't liked to smell of it but slowly became addicted. It's not too strong and perfect for daytime and nighttime. I would definitely recommend Moringa!

INSPIRATION FOR MY NEXT SHOPPING TRIP

I was cleaning my clothing rack when I realised I don't own that many coloured clothes. I should have know that already since I mostly use dark coloured clothes. Since it's Spring and Summer is around the corner (not really but I can see it :p) I decided too at least start with some inspiration for my SS 2014 shopping trip.

STATEMENT BELT FROM PRIMARK

I can be super lazy sometimes when it comes to my outfits, especially early in the morning. I just throw on a plain top and I'm good to go. It doesn't feel that good in the end so I started buying more and more statement belts.

Statement belts can make a huge difference to your outfits. A plain white tee can become so fashionable in an instant. 

Primark always has cute statement belts and this time was no exception. I saw this cute gold belt with this rhinestone flower detailing and of course I had to buy it.

The belt was only €3

FOLLOWING THE TREND: MASON JAR AND SMOOTHIE OF THE DAY

I've finally bought a mason jar. I've been wanting to get one ever since it became a 'trend'.
I've always been a smoothie person though. I've been drinking smoothie almost everyday for about 3 years now so this new healthy 'trend' is not new to me. But since I've been using just 'normal' glasses to drink my smoothie I decided it's time to 'upgrade' or better said time to start 'following the trend'.

FLORMAR MAKE UP HAUL AND REVIEW

I didn't new about this make up brand until when I recently took a trip to Amsterdam.
When I saw the store I knew I had to go in and take a look (and of course buy some things to test out)
First thing I noticed is their wide variety of product. They have everything, from make up brushes, foundations to nail polish remover.
Second thing I always look at when i enter a new store is the price. Flormar is super affordable which made me even more happy (good excuse to buy more than one thing).

LONG LASTING NAIL POLISH BY HEMA (SS2014 EDITION)

I love this time of the year. Spring is a super good excuse to go out and buy allot of new spring and summer approved fashion and beauty items(may I say sometimes to much?). This time I went out and bought some new nail polishes.
I got 4 nail polishes: #813 (Dark Salmon), #442 (Pastel Blue), #807 (Pink) and #830 (Lavender Purple)...

YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE AND ROUGE VOLUPTE ICI PARIS XL SALE

ICI PARIS XL Is having a super great sale where you get 40% off on their lipsticks and lip glosses. I have this unhealthy obsession with lipstick so I couldn't miss this opportunity to get myself some lipsticks. I really didn't need anything but I still managed to get myself two lipsticks.
