Look who's back? A few favorites!

Hi girls! I really hope you had a wonderful happy new year celebration and wish you all the best for 2015. I'm slacking big time in the blog department, I have been working long hours and I'm feeling very sleep deprived. Also the fact that there is not a lot of natural light - understand when it's dark at 3 pm -  when I'm home doesn't help to take pictures. I just want to cuddle in bed with my hot bottle of water and watch Real Housewives on repeat. 

Here's a few of my favorite products from my current routine. These are the products I have been using non stop on a daily basis. Some of them are new, some of them are products I have been using for years now! On the list you can find : 

Face → 

Bourjois Happy Light: best dewy foundation ever. 

Essence concealer: amazing and super cheap

Bourjois Délice de Poudre Duo Highlight: My current favorite bronzer. I love the soft shimmer.

Illamasqua Aurora highlighter: A gorgeous cream highlighter. Pretty new but love it so far.

The Balm Hot Mama blusher: My favorite blusher at the moment. Reminds me of Nars - Orgasm.

Eyes → 

Mac Paintpot Painterly: the one and only base. I have been using this since forever.

Lorac Pro Palette : the most gorgeous and perfect palette. Sleek packaging, pigmentation through the roof and best every day colors.

Lips →

Bourjois Color Boost - Proudly Naked: A perfect every day nude.

Catrice - In a Rosegarden: Great nude with a little bit more of pink undertones.

Perfume →

Liu Gio: I have received this before Christmas and it's almost finished. I just love the scent! 

What has been your favorite product lately?

Have a lovely sunday!

Wish list ⎜winter essentials

Hi girls! Here my wish list for my winter essentials from SheInside. I'm in a mood to wear a lot of grey, winter dresser and striped sweater. How cute is this white collar trend? I love it! Also, nothing can beat a cosy maxi cardigan on cold days. The two dresses are super pretty, I love the one with the faux sweater on top of it! I do find it a little bit hard to wear dresses during winter time as pretty much all of my dresses are very summer-y so these two picks will be a great addition in my closet!

Which item if your favorite?


1. Grey maxi cardigan (here) // 2. Grey loose knit cardigan (here)
 3. White sleeve striped sweater (here) // 4. Floral dress (here) // 5. Collar dress (here)

Lorac Pro Palette

Hi girls! I hope you're all doing good, probably getting ready for the last days of 2014 and making your resolutions list for next year? right? Haha. I'm not planning on any resolutions, just get my driving license and work hard to be where I want to be in life! CHEESY! Haha

Today was the first snow in Belgium, I was so pretty and clean. The roads weren't that bad so I went for an hour drive to practice my driving skills and it was so cool. I feel much more relaxed - but still very alerted - and really enjoyed the drive! 

Seeing all the Instagram post I can see that many people have been rotten spoiled for Christmas. The amount of presents under the trees were just insane! I got spoiled too by Santa with this beautiful Lorac Pro Palette. It's the most perfect nude, day to day, eyeshadow palette. I got a little bored with my Naked palettes so I'm thankful that Santa read my wish list haha! 

I love how pigmented the colors are, the warm shades, the matte and the shimmers separation, the sleek packaging...everything is on point! I know that this palette isn't hot news but I think it's amazing!!! Thank you Santa!

Instalife #32

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful time last night celebrating, eating amazing food and watching your favorite Christmas movies. I was so tired from working 24/7 so the night was quite short and relaxing. Watching Love Actually all over again in my pj's and eating some delicious food! I got spoiled by Santa too but the present so far I got this year is my provisional driving license! 

Today I'll rest, eat plenty more of delicious food and try to take pictures for the blog :) 

Enjoy this day!

Hello December! ☃

Hi girls! I'm going to be really annoying and cliché so here's my advent calendar for December! 

I know people will probably get sick of seeing these everywhere on Instagram during 24 days throughout the month but I couldn't resist.
This year I chose a Kinder calendar because there's nothing like waking up to a mini Kinder Bueno, right?

Wish list ⎜ Christmas

Hi girls! Happy sunday. I'm really tired from a long week of working and learning how to drive. I'm already mid way through my driving  cursus so by the 11th of December I should be able to drive by myself and this is a rather scary thought haha!

Here's my Christmas wish list. I had to add a little bit of Chanel, a little bit of makeup and a little bit of tech. I don't have any particular need this year except maybe a new phone as mine is getting quite slow. Also, I know that the Lorac Pro palette is not new but I never purchased it back it the days and I suddenly feel the need to have it as I'm getting a little tired of my Naked palettes!

I'm off to practice my driving skills and then I'll be cooking all afternoon long. This how I roll on sundays! Have a nice day :)

XO,MARILOU
