Hey everyone! I thought it would be fun to show my basic everyday make-up, this is how I do my make-up when I go to class and stuff. (Although technically I'm not going back to college, I'll work in a hospital as a researcher for a couple of months, which is all part of my thesis). This is basically a 'my face but better' look, perfect for school or work!

Here you can see my face without any make-up and how it looks when I wear my everyday make-up. It's pretty much the difference between 'hey...are you sick today?' and 'oh, you look pretty!'. Even though I don't mind walking around with no make-up at home or in a grocery store, I love how it can make me look healthier. Below you can see what I do to prettify myself!


What does your everyday make-up look like?

I love using glitter nail polish, but I absolutely hate removing it. I did hear about the foil method before but it just seemed a bit scary to me, the thought of soaking my nails with a lot of nail polish remover made my heart cringe. So I kept scrubbing my nails like crazy after every glittery manicure, until I got a bit sick of it and started to avoid glitter polish. After a while I really started to miss the sparkly glitters, and the foil method crossed my mind again. I decided to give it a try, with the help of some hand cream of course! ;)











How do you remove glitter nail polish?

A couple of months ago I wrote a post about sharing NYX swatches, but because making lip swatches can be a bit time consuming I quickly forgot about the idea. A couple of days ago my sister reminded me of the enthusiastic plans I had, and I agreed that it would be a shame to toss all of that away. I love the NYX lipsticks, and I know that swatches can be very helpful if you're trying to pick a suitable colour for yourself! We decided to make little groups to keep things fun, and today I'm going to start with the wearable pinks. (Why pink first? Because Ben, our lovely assistant disguised as a kitten, loves pink shades). Since I don't own all of the wearable pinks I'd still love the help of others though! You can read the post I mentioned for more information :)

I'll post all of the shades I have below, and update this post when I have more swatches to add. There are probably 2 more posts coming, one with nudes/oranges/browns and one with bold shades (hot pink, deep red, lavender, etc.).

















If you would like to help me out (=allow me to add your swatches to this post with credit of course) don't forget to leave me a link below. They don't have to be all pink shades of course, the other shades will follow very soon! And if you would like to know when I update this post with new swatches, I suggest following me on twitter (it will be easier to share the news there).


I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Hi everyone! I noticed that I have quite a few unloved lip gloss mini's/samples in my make-up collection, it's about time to try them out and swatch them! I'm more of a lipstick girl and only use lip gloss if I want to give my lips a bit of a shine, so these little ones just ended up in a random drawer. I decided to swatch them all at once to make the post a bit more interesting, you know what they say: good things come in small packages! ;)
