(Nail Art) Prizes/ Giveaways - Thanks Kruidvat and Catrice

'Somewhere in August I won a Catrice set with all new Fall season make uppies in there. This giveaway was on the Dutch Kruidvat Facebookpage. Omg, I'm feeling so lucky, cause I found two of their new Ultimate Laquer The Next Level polishes in the bag as well. Oh, how I love their polishes... I know, I didn't even do nailpolish swatches from their Summer 2015 shades, and I apologize, but I wasn't really in the mood to blog that much on here lately. I can't promise anything, but let's hope that will change. Aaaanyway, let's get into the video I made from this prize and their pics....'

'But, what's inside?!?!'

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).'

'See my Lipstick Collection for 2012 <here>. I also made a Lipstick Collection Video <click>.'

Reviews ~ Pink Tease Lipsticks In Depth (Big Bazar)

'A while back, I purchased one lipstick from budget brand Pink Tease, wich are available at the Big Bazar for only €0,99. Time to give you a review in depth about these lipsticks, cause I purchased a few more. I also back upped a colour at this point by accident, and I totally don't mind.'

The other batch, with a different package

'What I love about these lipsticks is the fact that they don't have an annoying scent. Actually they don't smell at all. Also, the stainpower and colour pay off are incredible. It takes me a good 3 hours before the colours are fading on me, and for just one euro, you can't complain. The package is cheap looking, but it's sturdy. I kept a few colours in my purse, and they didn't crack or break into there, so that's defenately a plus. Another good thing is the fact that you don't feel them on the lips, even when you smeared a big layer on.'

Dry lips here, trust me this color looks better with smooth lips

Sometimes you need to layer them up... this one I used for the 1st time

'The coverage of these lipsticks are pretty good. There's only one little complain about the lipstick. If you have pretty dry lips, the product has the incline to set into the lines of your lips. If you have well moisturized lips, there's nothing to complain about the consistency. '

Incredible soft and pigmented one

Rich pigmentation

'I think this product is an good bargain. You can try several colours, and if the colour is a miss, there's not much lost. I only think the fact that the lipsticks don't carry names or numbers is a little bit odd, but the most annoying part is that I have lipsticks out of 2 different batches. So the brand deals with batchnumbers, wich could be confusing if you're searching for the same colour again. Another strange thing is that the package did change a little between batches, but the quality is the same. Overall I think these lipsticks aren't that bad. Specially for the price.'

Purchases ~ Awesome Christmas Stocking Stuffers (Big Bazar, Action)

'A recently new shop here in Holland is the Big Bazar, and I found out that they have awesome bargains. In this post I will show you my recent purchases. I also visited the Action this time.'

'First a few Big Bazar items for only €0,99 a piece. At first a Pink Tease Lipstick. I can't discover a name or number on the package, but it's an beautiful rosy shade. It doesn't have a scent to me.'

'Also for €0,99 a piece, these W7 Squeeze Me Lipglosses. I have Vamp It Up and Really Nude here. Those glosses have a brush, and I love brush lipglosses. These have a sweet cupcake scent. I like them, and for the price you can't beat it.'

'Then I also found at the Big Bazar some cool brands like Revlon, Sally Hansen, Rimmel and Maybeline for €1-€3 a piece. I only picked up this Maybelinne Lipstick in Desert Bloom for only €2,99, but I planned to pick up a few Revlon Nailpolishes when they stocked it again.'

'I also visited the Action, and I found good things as well. They have temporary Rimmel and Maybeline items, all for €2,29 a piece, so I stocked up a Maybelinne Lipstick in Lilac Shimmer here. Love this color for layering over another lipstick. In the past I owned this lipstick, till now, I couldn't find it anymore. Glad I found it again.'

Purchases ~ Essence Long Lasting Lipstick #07 Natural Beauty

'Here's a better close up from my not so long ago purchased Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in #07 Natural Beauty. I love these lipsticks from Essence, finally it's not all glitter bomb for their lipsticks. I also purchased a Basecoat from Essence, but I forgot to make a close up picture, so that's why I post the official first picture with all my recent purchases again.' 

'These lipsticks are in Holland available at the Kruidvat or Trekpleister for only €2,40. Coming up close up purchase: New Wynie Nailpolish Bottles.'

(Nail Art) Prizes/ Giveaways ~ Thanks Oriflame

'Past week I got another nice surprise in the mail from Oriflame. Reason why I post this now, is because the fact that or server needed a reset or something like that. Our server isn't there where we need it yet, so I found another way to make posts. Anyway. Continue with the Oriflame Colour Drop Lipstick in Rose Elixir wich I got from Oriflame.'

'I love the feel of this lipstick, and I love the way this lipstick "follows" the lines of your lips. The scent isn't annoying either, it smells between flowers and vanilla in my opinion. However, this lipstick is something between a balm and a lipgloss, and as you can tell, this lipstick has an glossy finish. I prefer more matte or satin finishes. What I don't like, is the fact that the color doesn't pop on my lips, but maybe that's just the color. I have pretty pigmented lips. Also , the product glides easily into my lines, especially when I have very dry lips like I have here. Not a fan of lipsticks wich stay into those lines. I want to give this lippie another try when I don't have very dry lips, cause I really like the feel of it. Maybe in another color?'

One layer of Rose Elixir

Two layers of Rose Elixir, with two layers, the product slides into my lines

'Catalogue price is €10, and I'm not sure I want to pay that price. Sometimes Oriflame put discounts on their products, and if I'm not mistaken, Oriflame has a discount on their Colour Drop Lipstick. Right now you pay only €5,99 for this lipstick. Go and get you some, if you think this post was helpful...' ^_^
