I'm running late to meeting a good friend of mine that I have seen in aaaaages so this post won't be long. Here's what I'm wearing on my face today. I have been trying the new L'Oréal Eau de Teint foundation and because it has a super matte finish I had to mix it up with my beloved Rimmel Wake Me Up to get my glow on. In the mascara dept. I have been ob-sessed with my Une 3 in 1 paired with Cover Girl lash blast.

On my cheeks I'm wearing Frat Boy blush by The Balm (I have been wearing it everyday since I got it combined with a little bit of High Beam & Mary-lou Manizer. On the lips it's Mac Myth and on the eyes it's a mix of my base I love stage by Essence, Benefit Rich Beach and The Balm Overshadow 'if you're rich I'm single' (Do I have a pattern with any eyeshadow gold digger related or what?). As an eyeliner I have applied a HINT of my favourite Bourjois Erasable mixed with Essence gel liner in London Baby.

Ok so now I'm off you guys but until the next post, I hope you're all having a wonderful day

Wishlist #12

Bourjois Rice Java powder ⎪ The Balm Cabana Boy blush ⎪ Mac Rebel lipstick ⎪ E.l.f Stippling brush

YSL Youth Liberator foundation ⎪ Dior BB Cream ⎪ L'oréal Base Magique ⎪ NailsInc Baker Street

Since I have finished quite a few products this summer (a round of applause please) mainly foundations, primers and lipsticks I think I deserve to create a make up wish list with some of the things I might purchase in a near future. First of all, I need to restock on foundation as I have finished 5 this summer and I feel so empty now. I will be buying the Bourjois Happy Light foundation as I used it all summer long and absolutely loved it. I also have my eyes on the YSL Youth Liberator foundation and the Dior BB cream.

Next is the Bourjois Java Rice powder, I have heard soooo many amazing reviews about this that I just have to get it and see what the hype is all about. I also need to get my hands on the blush Cabana Boy from The Balm now that it's available in Belgium. Next thing is the Mac Rebel lipstick as I'm on the hunt for a very dark plum color for fall/winter, I think this may be the one. I also have had my eyes on the e.l.f stippling brush for so long but have been to lazy to order it so I might take the plunge and finally get this little baby.

The new L'oréal Base Magique is also on my wishlist knowing that I have a thing for any smoothing primer. And finally the oh-so famous Baker Sreet from NailsInc is the only nail polish I plan on getting so far.

What's on your beauty wish list?

New in ⎥Catrice lipsticks

Princess peach ⎥  Sweet Coraline ⎥ Pinkadilly Circus ⎥ It's a Matt World 

When I spotted the 2 for 5€ mention in Kruidvat the other days for the Catrice lipsticks, I just knew I had to complete my collection and get some new colours. I'm a huge fan of their lipsticks and never managed to get some of their other colours just because the shades were a little bit out of my comfort zone. I never wear/have worn orang-ey lipstick in my life, I just don't think it suits my skin tone and really not feel comfortable at the idea at wearing orange lips in a public place. Since the offer was so appealing I just picked up four new shades (and two oranges in the bunch)! I have to say, I'm really not into the Princess Peach as, as expected, it doesn't suit my skin tone AT ALL. The Sweet Coraline on the other hand has a lot of orange undertones but suits me much better but I'm not sure I will be wearing this a lot. It's still a little too much out of my comfort zone. On the other hand, I'm obsessed with Pinkadilly Circus, which such a gorgeous pink spring-y shade! It's super bright and shiny. And last but not least, my favourite of the bunch, the gorgeous It's a Matt World. Such a gorgeous bright matte red.

Which one is your favourite? Do you like orange lipstick?

Playlist⎥ No light, no light

I'm a huge fan of Florence and The Machine. I have her last album and I love this song. I think it's the only real album I actually own (that is a real CD I mean) everything else is on my iTunes LOL. I wish I could go see her live!

Happy weekend!

The Balm ⎥Rockstar palette

First row: Metal-ica⎥Iron Maid-in⎥Lead Zeppelin⎥Alice Copper  Second row: Adagio⎥Allegro⎥Moderato⎥Presto

 Third row: Blink 1982⎥The Stroke⎥R.e.m⎥Third Eye Blinded 

Highlighter and blush: Solid Gold⎥Don't You Want Me ? Lips/cheek stain: Milly⎥Vanilly

Ok so, I'm beyond excited to review and swatch this incredible little gem I was really happy to received.  Let me introduce you to The Balm Rockstar face palette also known as Balm Jovi (you got it? Balm Jovi...Bon Jovi...ah!) This palette is the ultimate all over palette needed for weekend with your girlfriends away or a sleepover at your boyf'. It contains 12 eyeshadows, 1 highlighter, 1 blush and 2 cheeks/lips stains. (I only discovered the lip stains later on!) 

The main theme here is, well anything rock related. All the eyeshadows are named after a band or anything to do with music. The highlighter reminds me A LOT of Mary-lou Manizer and the blush looks very similar to the Frat Boy blush too. So if you consider buying the Mary-lou manizer and this blush you might just as well get this palette with the whole nine yards. At the bottom of the palette, two cheek/lip stains are hiding (I honestly didn't discover them until I starting swatching the products!) These two really make this palette super complete. 

Just like all the other The Balm products, the pigmentation is super intense and the eyeshadows/blushes are REALLY powdery (I emphasize on the really). You sure do not need a lot of product to get a pigmented result. I find the eyeshadows a bit hard to apply sometimes but I guess it's a matter of habit. The packaging is over-the-top rockstar-y cute. I love love love the heart shape mirror. Although the palette has numerous of make up gems inside (16 in total) it is still reasonably small and easy to carry around everywhere you go. The only thing I really hate in this palette, is the Metal-ica which is a white shimmery eyeshadow. I mean who wears that?????? yikes. All the other colors are so exquisite and perfect for fall, I can't wait to show you some look with this palette. You can find the Rockstar Palette from The Balm at Di drugstore (belgium) for 39€. 

What do we think ladies? Will you be buying this little gem?
