Major Orange Crush

It started with some orangie/coral heels, then a skinny belt, nto nail polish, then lip stick...now I'm craving some orange for my closet.  It's official - I'm Orangified!

Orange Crush

You almost, almost, don't even notice the crappy paint job and little nubbin' nails with this Revlon "Craving Coral" Nail Polish painted on.  Looks a lot more orangey than red in person, sans harsh flash (not winning any photog awards on that pic)

If you can avoid looking up my nose, you might see my fun painted pucker - oooo love that Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren.  And it even lasted through my morning coffee, bagel and into the afternoon!

Absolutely perfect springy-summer dresses that I must get my hands on....

Beauty Review: Clinique Redness Solution Makeup

I have blotchy skin with red undertones.  It's especially sensitive in the winter...most make up I apply just makes it itchy and even redder!  So I saw ads in all the latest magazines for Clinique's new redness solutions line and I was excited to try it!

This does not just do a great job of covering up blotchy skin without looking cakey - but it actually works to even out skin tone (without wearing make up!).

Just a small amount blends over my whole face - acting a little like lotion, a little like foundation and even a little sun protection. I wear this daily now and it'll be my go-to "foundation" or base make up from now on.

Have you tried this stuff?  What is your go-to make-up finds?

Ici Paris XL; Blogging Session #3.

When I received the giftvouchers, the first thing I tought was 'NAILPOLISHES'! And these are my 3 beauties!

Ici Paris XL; Blogging Session #1.

This evening I was invited at 'Ici Paris XL; Blogging Session part 1'. We learned about Perfumes, how they made them, the history and a lot of practical stuff.

It was great to meet the other bloggers and to discover the 'perfume' world!
at the end we also received a gift, thanks Paris XL and Oona!
You can see all the pictures, and more information after the 'Click here...'.

I guess that The Netherlands and Belgium know what ICI PARIS XL actually is. It's a perfume store since 42years! Two times a year, september and February they launch new perfumes, about 50 in a whole year!

I received a lot of information about the process of making a perfume, but I'll make a post about it later!
The top 3 of best perfumes:
1. Coco Mademoiselle
2. J'adore Dior
3. Angel

Stay tuned for the post about the history and other informations!

Mascara Deluxe Sampler Review (Part 4, of 10)

Sephora's Deluxe Mascara Sampler consists of 10 high-end designer mascaras.  My favorite beauty products is mascara, that and concealer (but that's out of necessity), so when I saw this sample pack - I began that path to use and review these trial sizes.

The first 3 reviews:

Hourglass Superficial Lash Mascara

Urban Decay Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara

Korres Abyssinia Oil Volumizing and Strengthening Mascara

And on to sample 4:

Benefit A Little Bit BADGal Lash Mascara

What Sephora has to say: a little bit of BADgal lash for the girl on the go. Even though it's little, it carries a big BADgal punch.

My review:

Pros - Lashes look long.  The mascara really builds off itself extending your lash length.  The consistency is a bit drier, so not smudging or smearing.

Cons - The brush is really big, making it hard to get the corners and shorter lashes.

Reader's Left - mascara applied; right side - plain lashes

BADgal mascara on both lashes - see length here

Reader's left - L'Oreal Voluminizing Mascara layered over BADgal - You can see how it just adds a bit more umph!

Couple swipes of BADgal mascara and then a slow application of L'Oreal

What is your favorite mascara right now?

Mascara Deluxe Sampler Review (Part 3, of 10)

Back to the mascara review (see first two here), after the using the first few trials in Sephora's Deluxe Mascara Sampler to fruition (no matter how much I liked it, I wanted to use it all), I'm on to review sample 3:

Korres Abyssinia Oil Volumizing and Strengthening Mascara

Here's what Sephora said about Korres Mascara: Enriched with Abyssinia oil, a conditioning botanical that builds volume and length for lush, gorgeous, natural-looking lashes you will love.

My review:  

Pros - the mascara lengthens and makes for natural looking lashes.  A good base layer! They also felt soft, and no flakes!

Cons - mascara color is not dark enough.  I like dark black mascara!  No thickening on my lashes.

The Photos:

Reader left - mascara, right - naked lashes

Both eyes have a couple layers each. Lashes are long, yet natural looking.  I used this mascara as a base before adding on my (still) favorite, drug-store brand: L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen

Added L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen to both set of lashes. Lashes are a little darker, little thicker.

Overall I really liked the Korres Abyssinia Oil Volatilizing Mascara - I would definitely get this again to use as my base layer or bumming around (times I don't need the full-effect lashes).

Have any of you tried this kind of mascara, or this sampler pack?  What is your favorite mascara?
