Fashion Inspiration: Spring/Summer Outfits (Lookbook)

For reference, my measurements are 32-24-34. I am 5’2″ short and I weigh 110lbs. I’m usually a size XS-S (UK size 8, NL size 34/36), my ideal jeans size is 28/29 (skinnies) or sometimes 28/30 (bootcut). But in Forever 21 jeans I’m always a size 27 though, for some odd reason…I guess they run big

How do you guys like my autographed Stargate SG-1 photos on my wall? Oh and I didn’t record all these outfits in one go, hence the hairstyle changes, different lighting and different times on the clock, etc.

Special thanks to Ariel Bellvalaire for allowing me to use her songs “Take A Step Back” and “Blind Side”! You can visit her website at: http://www.arielbellvalaire.com

Hilary Duff Inspired Glamorous Hollywood Makeup Tutorial

Even though I don’t look anything like the beautiful Hilary Duff, when I saw some photos of her from the Kendra Scott grand opening, I felt the irresistible urge to try and copy her awesome makeup

After seeing the footage, I think that maybe Urban Decay’s Midnight Cowboy Rides Again e/s or even Urban Decay’s Nylon e/s would’ve been better on the lid than UD’s Sellout, but ah well, Sellout looks pretty too

Why does YouTube always choose such silly thumbnails for meeee?

Inspiration pictures: Photo 1 & Photo 2 Please keep in mind that my skintone, hair colour, eye shape, etc. are completely different from hers. Hence it’s an inspired look, as it’s bound to look VERY different on me

Shop MAC Haul: Shop & Drop Eyeshadow Quad + Dish It Up Lipstick (Swatches)

MAC hasn’t come out with an interesting limited edition collection in ages. There, I said it. I, Suzy the (once) MAC junkie lost interest in MAC months ago. Possibly because of my love for Asian cosmetics… The top notch quality of Asian brands really shows that MAC isn’t the bee’s knees. But, lo and behold: the Shop/Cook MAC collection. Bold colours, funky packaging and an eyeshadow quad and lipstick that rekindled that want!need!musthave! feeling I used to feel whenever I saw new MAC releases.

As soon as I saw the promotional images for this collection, I knew I had to make the Dish It Up lipstick and the Shop & Drop eyeshadow quad mine. I have a major weakness for purple-toned lipsticks and as for the quad…hehehe…I mainly wanted Hypnotizing e/s. It’s a re-release and I’ve been lemming it ever since the Love Lace LE from 2009

Btw, it’s such a shame MAC only used the brightly coloured packaging for the slide on covers. Underneath those, you’ll find the usual boring black MAC packaging

Since I don’t have a MAC counter near me, I decided to order online. Here in Holland, we only have one online store that sells MAC and that’s De Bijenkorf (a famous department store). You’d think such a fancy store would be able to wrap orders with a wee bit o’ bubble wrap, but I guess not *sigh* When I got the package, the two products were on the bottom of the box with only a bit of flimsy brown paper on top. Thank goodness nothing was broken…

Fake flowers, new phone, new ceiling, same ol’ wonky body

Oh blog, what to do with you? I keep looking at you, all sad and lonely on the internet…without many posts. I think you need some attention, don’t you?

Seriously though, I really miss blogging. But I don’t think I want to even remotely attempt beauty blogging ever again. I was so naive when I started beauty blogging… Full of good intentions, planning to have fun, socialize and whatnot. But my goodness, the Dutch beauty blogging world is a nasty drama filled one; a lot of those women are like freakin’ piranhas It honestly scares the crap out of me and I wanna stay faaaar, faaaar away from it

So I’m tempted to just turn this into a personal blog where I write about whatever I wanna write Life, Lily, beauty, my health struggles, etc. And if people wanna read it, cool. If they don’t, also cool hehehe Plus, it would be nice to have a place to vent since my health has been so wonky lately. And wow, I’m overusing smilies already it seems…*ahem*

So anyway, from piranhas to fake flowers! I wasn’t quite sure what to do about my bridal bouquet, since well…you know, I’m deadly allergic to flowers But my mum simply walked up to the customer service desk at our local little garden centre, said “My daughter’s allergic to flowers, but she needs a bridal bouquet. Please help us.” And 5 minutes later I had chosen fake flowers and they had asked a talented girl from the floral department to put them together as a bouquet. Isn’t it pretty?
