Collections ~ Lipstick Collection 2013/2014

'I know, I skipped last years Lipstick Collection... so I squeeze 2013 and 2014's Lipstick Collection together. I changed some things again.'

'First I did another clean up for my NYX Round Lipsticks. I thought how many browns I had, so I gave a few browns away. Still 8 of them left, and still not using them as much as I want. The reason for that is the fact that they're too creamy for me. The consistency gives me the feeling that the colours will slip off my lips easily. So I try to use them more often in the winter.'

'I also used loads of my Catrice Collection up. I only have a few with the black package left, cause I like those better then the ones with the silver package. I have use also loads of Catrice old line, I now have only two colours left. The Limited Editions I used with care, cause you know, they are limited edition. Good look-a-likes are hard to find.'

'For my Barry M, Sleek and MUA didn't change a lot. I try to use these brand more often as well, but again carefully cause these brands aren't easy to find here in Holland. I need to purchase them online, and I don't have that option at the moment.'

'I expanded my Essence collection a bit. I find Essence lipsticks not that attractive in the past, but since they sell matte colours I'm in love.'

'I added two new lipsticks to my Yves Rocher Collection. I used up one of my LE Cream lipsticks in Rose, and as you can tell, still using that color. I also finished 3 lipsticks with the blue caps.'

'I gave away a few Baolishi lipsticks, and kept my LA Girl Cream lipsticks.'

'I also found two Maybelinne Lipsticks, along with my Rimmel Kate Lipstick, and also pretty new: my Oriflame Colour Drop Lipstick with his funky shape.'

'And lastly my latest addiction, these lipsticks by Pink Tease. As you can tell, a few of them I used to dead, and some of them I don't have for a long time yet. These are so affordable. The red one I didn't try on yet.'

'Brands you're not find back, but where mentioned in my collection of 2012 are: Max (Action, the package breaks easily, so I gave them away), NYC (the scent was spoiling).'

Collections ~ Show Me Your Blues! Tag For April's Autism Awareness Month

Collections ~ Eyeshadow Collection 2013

'My last Eyeshadow Collection was a while ago, in 2011. I didn't find the right time to do a new Eyeshadow Collection for 2012, cause I was waiting for different Eyeshadow palettes. So, time for a new Eyeshadow Collection this year. I can tell you, that my collection changed a bit, and grew. Let's get through the brands I have.'

3. Monaco Palette

4. Au Naturel Palette

2. Duo's 

3. I have four single ES left by Catrices regular line

Collections ~ Lipstick Collection 2012

'I had to update my Lipstick Collection as well. It changed a lot in comparison to my collection in 2011, and like you maybe read about me, I'm very picky about lipsticks. Time to take a look on what I have now.'

'First batch of lipsticks are the Catrice ones. Left you see two Ultimate Shine Lipsticks, and as you maybe noticed, I toss out a lot of  the Ultimate Shines, cause after a while they are going to smell really bad. I don't like the smell of them anyway, but I decided to keep two colors I like to wear on special occasions. The other seven are from the Ultimate Colour line, wich I like more.'

Left to right ~ 

Ultimate Shine: Berry Me! and Stoplight (both discontinued) 

Ultimate Color: Breakfast At Tiffany's (discontinued), Tell Me A Berry Tail, Ginger and Fred, Maroon 20, Pink Me Up, My Red Card, and Princess Peach

'Next I have a few Catrice Limited Editions, which I'm afraid to touch, lol. I'm still on the hunt for some good dupes. Bloody Red is the perfect matte red lipstick for me without drying my lips to bad during the day.'

Left to right ~

Urban Baroque: Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth and Victoria

Revoltaire: Bloody Red

'These lipsticks I have for ages. These are an old line by Catrice as well, and it's discontinued. However, I still love them, they are so soft and creamy. Catrice came out with an Ultimate Shine color in Gentle Nude is back, but nehhh, I don't have inclines to pick it up...'

Left to right ~

Gentle Beige, Noisette Coctail, Gentle Nude, Dark Burgundy, Indian Brown, Spicey Coral

'There's not so much changed for my NYX Round Lipstick Collection. Here are the ones I want to wear most, and are easy to wear for me. Favorite color is Black Cherry, but I like Mauve and Taupe too.'

'Off course I have also some harder to wear NYX ones. I use them mixed with other lipsticks mostly.'

Circe, Cream, Aphrodite, Eggplant, Bruised, Helio

'Now a few newer ones by Barry M and Sleek. I love both brands and I defenately planned to get more colors. Currently I love Sleek in Taupe, it's the perfect lilacy/ brown color.'

Left to right ~

Barry M:  Pink Suede and Mulberry

Sleek: Taupe (regular) and Peaches&Cream (sheen)

'My MUA lipstick collection has also grown a bit. I want more of the Lipbooms MUA they came out with, because it's such an nice product.'

Left to right ~

Limited Editon: Mauve, Tomette and Rose (with back up)

Regular: Orange Hibiscus, Rose Alba and Mauve Pensee

'Here I have also some random lipsticks from Essence, NYC and LA Girl. The Essence ones I bought because of the package which reminds me of MAC. I'm not sure if I like NYC lipsticks, because it smells like crayons. I love the color, but I mix it mostly. I still try to get my hands on more of the LA Colors Cream lipsticks, cause I really love the texture on these.'

Essence: Limited Edition 50's Reloaded in I'm Sailing and Back To The 50's.

NYC in Sugar Plum

LA Girl Cream Lipstick in Rendesvouz

'My most recent lipstick find are these by Baolishi. I love the scent, texture, and their color selection. They could be a bit drying, but that's easy solved with lipbalm or gloss. I planned to get more in the future, because they are cheap too. And the package is really cute.'

Left to Right ~

Nr.5, Nr.9 and Nr. 8

'Finally my cheapest brand Max Lips. You can buy them at the Action here in Holland and they have the same sort of package like the LA Colors ones. These are my not so favorite brand I own, but the colors mentioned on the picture at least I want to wear. Purple Pink is an back up, and I'm on the hunt for a color like it, because I really hate the package, which falls really easy into pieces.'

Left to right ~

Purple Pink, Retro Red, Pink Blush and Terra
