In's and Out's

IN'S

Lush skincare

My skin hasn't looked this good since I was 12... I'ts still not perfect but I guess thats an unrealistic goal. I'm just glad that I don't have to worry about it all the time, and am able to go out the door without any concealer, foundation or powder once in a while!

The up comming hollidays

I'm not a big fan of the hollidays itself, the awkward family meetings and the expensive gift buying arent really on my favorites list.. But I love all the fuss that comes with them. The fact that it's dark really early and candles are burning everywere around the house. Shopping for a new years eve party dress. The pretty decorations everywhere, Amsterdam is so pretty around christmas!

My new glasses

I can finally see again! And the compliments that come with wearing them aren't bad either :)

My winter coat

For the first time in yearsss I finally found one I really like, and I don't have to walk around in a thin leather jacket and 300 layers of shirts this winter.

OUT'S

My winter coat

Yes, I'ts in out's too.. There's nothing wrong with the coat itself, but I see someone wearing it, at least twice a day.... I bought it when it was still to warm to wear it, and I guess everybody did. If I knew this many people bought it, I wouldn't have bought it myself. Wearing something that everybody has, is just less fun for me.. Wich brings me to out #2

H&M's designer collaborations

I really love the concept of this though. Making designer clothes available for a wide range of people. It just got out of hand a little bit... First you have to survive the biggest catfight ever. And if you get your hands on the object you wanted, everybody will know where you got it, how much you payed for it, and half of all the girls everywhere will be wearing it!

Men

Whats wrong with this half of the human kind, and why don't they know how to treat the other half...

Oh well maybe it's me, I do have a thing for the tipacal bad boy..

Outfit

An outfit I wore to scool this last week.

Pretty simple, black and gray. How I like it :p

The black jeans were dyed with a kind of shiny black dye, wich make them look leather-ish. (you can kind of see it on the seccond picture)

I wore my new H&M cardigan and tooth necklace with it!

Jeans: Zara (long time ago)

Shirt, cardigan and necklace: H&M

Boots: Taft (originally light bown, I dyed them black a while ago)

Bag: Invito

I think I'll do a favorite nacklace post soon... I've bought some nice ones lately :D

Me and Mr. Ray Ban

My new glasses!

I had my first pair of glasses 3 years ago, and my eyes have gotten a little worse since then. :(

The benefits: I got to choose a new pair!

I wanted something similar to my old ones, but I with a black and a little bolder frame.

And found the perfect one at Ray Ban!

Ray Ban

Frame # RB5120

I also got lenses to try out for a month, becouse I didn't want to walk around with glasses every day. But I really like wearing this one! It gives all my outfits a whole new level of sophistication :)

Outfit

My outfit from last friday night.

I always keep things pretty basic when going out. I wear a lot of black desses, black boots and big statement jewelry.

This dress has the big statement jewelry build in with the beaded neckline!

Dress: H&M

Gray/Silver tights: H&M

Bracelets: most of them H&M Men

Boots: borrowd from friend... still on the hunt for my own!

Artdeco Cosmetics

Oke, lets talk make up!

Artdeco is a brand that I never really paid any atention to... Its a German brand and in the L'oreal, Maybelline price range, but has different kind of products. (available at some Douglas stores for my Dutch ladies!)

It has a wide range of eyeshadows that you buy in separated pans, and "beauty boxes" (pallets), to put them in.

I wanted to try those, and some other products!

What I bought:

- eyeshadow #554, a matt neutral vanilla

- eyeshadow #05, a pearly grey brown

- eyeshadow #524, a matt dark gray mocha

- Beauty Box (Trio)

- Eyebrow Pencil #6, a medium grey brown

- All In One Mascara in Brown

Some swatches!

The eyeshadows are great if you dont want to spend a lot of money on MAC! The quality is pretty good! The only thing is that the vanilla one doesn't really show up on my skintone... But they're verry buttery soft and pigmented!

The eyebrow pencil has the perfect colour for me! My hair is a dark gray-ish blond, and other pencils always were too brown or too yellow-ish..

And here my makeup from last night using the eyeshadows!
