how to make your own chips/ crisps

 Okay, step one: Slice a potato as thin as possible! I first used a knife but later I used a cheeseslicer or in dutch just kaasschaaf. :) This just is the most efficient and (a bit more) safe way.

Lipstick Rose passioné

 While the sun finally shines a bit here in The Netherlands and I'm listening to some 'summer feeling music' and loving my new lipstick. And most of all finally some sunlight after all this rain we've had here. :) 

And some more good news. My trip to London is finally booked! :) And I'm also in the middle of my exams right now.. I had art history today, dutch tomorrow and have economy on wednesday. Wish me luck ;) hope economy goes well.

The lipstick's named: 13 rose passioné

Bourjois has the greatest make-up. especially the colors are so pretty. I found this lipstick and instantly loved it. What's your opinion about Bourjois and the whole thing?

Meet glamour

As an faithful subscriber of Glamour I was invited to come to the Glamour office. I guess it's because of the new editor in chief. It's in Diemen, which is close to Amsterdam. So I planned a litte go-to-see-the-none-h&m-a-like-shops-day :) I went to see a lot of cool shops, found a litte chinese shop where you could buy chinese tea, china, wallets, keychains, everything. Amazing! Anyhow, I went to Diemen finally. And when I finally found the office I was way too early. (normally I'm late so this was new to me ;)) well I wasn't the only one who was too early, we were getting invited to get upstairs to the real office. Everywhere was glamour, pink allover, pink walls, pillows, post-its everywhere.. Loved it! They made name cards, and had a couple of bottles with Moët and ordered some fries. There were all sorts of cookies.  

The Glamour editorial staff was so kind! we were first talking about us, what we like, what our fave brands are, where we shop, then about what we like and don't like about the magazine. And then the best part came, They showed us the room with all the designer items, there was a whole clothing rack full with Stella McCartney, another with Chanel, another with gucci... I was secretly wondering what would happen if one of them would disapear.. :) haha, the woman opened another room with 'stylists own' stuff and some none desinger clothes. And another room was filled with make-up. I had a wonderful time! At last they told me that they always need trainee's, so when I'm studying I'm just gonna sollicitate there, and hopefully it's still possible. That would be a dream come true. 

And we received a goodie bag! Below you can find photos of what was inside of it!

perfect eyeliner inspiration

I've been trying for a while now, to make the perfect eye line. tried liquid eyeliner, eye pencils, eyeliner out of a marker, arabic eyeliner, gel, everything. And I must say that just eye pencils are the best if you'd ask me. but a huge disadvantage of those is that they smudge. Your eye liner isn't an eyeline, it's an eyesmudge, all over your eye lid. In my case though. Soo.... since my lines are getting curvier and less line-a-like when I use liquid eyeliner I first draw the line, then overdraw (haha, that isn't a word, I'm sure!) it with liquid eyeliner or those markerthingies. At least they don't smudge and overdrawing isn't too hard for me, I can handle it. ;)
So here's my tip for everybody who's as skilled with eyeliners as I am: first draw a line with a pencil, then 'overdraw' it with liquid so it won't smudge, and it's even 'blacker'.

All tips are welcome! Well below some inspirational photos!

Much Love and enjoy your weekends!

small pretty bags

Oh, I have this weird thing with small bags. I always think theyre prettier than big bags. I got a few big ones though, but always try to put all my stuff in the little ones. haha, my wallet is often too big to fit in these small bags. I have no idea how you call these certain bags, but I love them. Which one is your fave? I'd prefer a timeless brown or black one. Maybe the first, or the prada. But I wouldn't mind to have the minty Chanel. haha! Anyhow, I'm way too lazy right now to put all of the links in here, so you can find all bags on my fashiolista profile, which you can find to the left of you!

Thank you for reading and visiting my blog!
I want to wish you all a wonderful evening!

Much love,

Love for mint

Mint, what a lovely color! Yes, its oh-so-fashionable, and who doesn't love the color!
Eversince chanel introduced the 'Jade' nailpolish and I couldn't afford to buy the real one, I bought a green and a white nailpolish and made my own. Unfortunately it turned out it wasn't too good for my nails. They had a yellow coat. Haha, later I bought a mint green nailpolish at Claire's which was empty after a half year. Since those times I love the color. Below some weheartit photos, just for inspiration and even lower you will find minty asos items. how lovely.

By the way, I'm despately searching for a green sweater, knitten, not too expensive so if any of you found one at a shop like forever 21 or something like that, I'd be glad to hear it!

Much love,

P.S. enjoy your weekend!

The battle of the hotties: Johnny Depp vs. Axl Rose

Dear everyone,

Yes, another ... vs. .... And this time the lucky guys are Johnny Depp and Axl rose!
Both hot, sexy, and both have charisma. Is that also an english word? Anyhow, who would you chose?
I'd definitely chose for Axl, as a faithfull guns n roses fan, well it's actually more axl rose than guns n roses but the whole band is amazing! But who'd you choose?

I gotta go, I got a sollicitation this evening at Lush, you know, the soap store! So wish me luck!
