Review | Revlon colorstay!

lips after applying the lipstick

lipstick stain left at mug

my lips after finishing my cup of tea

Hi guys! I recently bought three Revlon Colorstay lipstick/gloss because my sister told me how awesome it is. So I thought I should try it out as well.. I can honestly can say that I've never been quite so impressed of a make-up item before! The color actually stays! The liquid of the lip gloss is a bit watery just like a liptint one but with more pigments. The watery liquid dries out quickly (less than 3 minutes) and becomes matte on your lips. Even after drinking hot tea or eating a sandwich, the color stays. It only leaves a little stain on the mug but the lips still look very spot on. I don't know what the actual retailer's price is since I bought mine for cheap at a fair, but I don't think it's more expensive than a mac lipstick since it's a more drugstorey brand. I can definitely recommend this product to anyone who find it annoying to keep on applying lipstick or who likes to eat and drink all day through (like me) and not worrying about your lipstick. So far I've only tried this red color called "top tomato" , can't wait to see what the other colors look like on.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Review

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Review

Hi guys this is a review on the new colorburst matte balms from Revlon.If you are subscribed to me on Youtube then you will know i'm a sucker for a Matt lips so when i heard Revlon were bringing these out i just couldn't wait to get my hands on them to try them.

They do live upto my expectation 100% i love them so much and have done a Youtube video review on these already so if you would like to watch that then please click the link below,and i would love you to subscribe while you are there thanks ♥

So i went to my local Boots which is in a big City so no surprise that most of the Colours were out of stock but i grabbed 2 to begin with to give them a go and as it was 3 for 2 then i also got a cream blush too which is gorgeous.

The Balms are fresh with a hint of mint,so they smell and taste of a slight fresh mint taste which is yummy just like a lip balm so very creamy but dry's to a Matte finish.

I was so impressed with the first two that i had bought that i had to pay another visit to boots to see if they had more colours and alas they did yippeee,so i then got two more and as it was still 3 for 2 i got the photoready perfecting Primer which i will review again.

So now i owned 4 of the Matte balms which i  was over the moon about as if you have ever tried their just bitten kissable then they are very similar only a Matte finish so they stay on your lips for a good while before any touch up's are needed.

I did notice that they didn't sell the purple colour instore though which i was really gutted about as it was my fave colour,a friend actually told me they only sold it Online plus i have also been been asked quite a few times by my subscribers why they couldn't find the purple colour one which is called  {Shameless }

So i contacted Revlon asking why they only sold Shameless Online and because they have impeccable PR customer service the lady offered to send me Shameless to review so that is what i am doing.

So yes just to let you know,i did pay for all four other colour's out of my own money but was Gifted the purple colour Shameless for free from Revlon and i can't thanks them enough as of course it is my fave colour,after trying it i fell in love but then again i love them all and can't stop wearing them,i wore the pink one the other day and it lasted quite a good few hours even after drinking a few cup's of tea and eating it had only started to wear slightly,and of course anything is going to wear off your lips and this product doesn't even claim to be long lasting,it just says Matte so yes it lives up to my expectation just like most of Revlon products i use.

If you have not tried these yet then i do highly recomend them as they are handy to carry in your bag and taste nice and last too so what's there not to like.Please take a look at my swatches and i will also leave the links to where these can be purchased.

Thanks for reading and please follow my blog with Google or Bloglovin,thanks Littlemissstyleguru ♥

EVENT | First time Huishoudbeurs (part 2 of 3)

First thing's first..wow.. What an experience! I haven't been to the annual Huishoudbeurs before but I've heard so much about it. So when I got the chance to go to the fair as press, I knew it was time to go. I went there with my friend, Sara, and we both didn't know what to expect. We didn't want to waste any time, so we just went off right away after dropping some stuff at the lockers.

This would be the second post for the Huishoudbeurs 2014 mini-series and it's about the experiencing the fair. You can read and see more picture by clicking 'read more' below! For the first part of the series click here.

Haul & event | Huishoudbeurs 2014 (part 1 of 3)

Yesterday I went to the annual HuisHoudBeurs in Amsterdam and got some cute stuff! Firstly I want to say a lot of thanks to the HHB for inviting me to their event as press. It was my very first experience to their event and it was definitely one of the most versatile and fun convention/fair I've ever been to. I will post more about the experience tonight!

But for now I will show you a small haul I got from the fair. A cute laptop case from Muja Juma, never heard of this brand before but they sold all these kinds of cute laptop cases/bags that I've haven't seen before. It's made of all kinds of different fabrics put together. They told me that this was from four years ago winter collection so I got it for a reasonable price, 15 euros, and they also told me that they made sell only 300 pieces for each model! So if you're going to the fair, make sure to go to the Fashion/Beauty hall and get this piece for your self (or as a gift).

Another thing I bought are these Revlon colorstay lipcolours. My sister was so excited for this product when she bought it from her trip to Indonesia. And I don't really know where you can buy this brand in the Netherlands. They used to sell it at our local drugstore (Da) but I don't know if they still do. Nevertheless, you could never find these lipcolours for so cheap! They were three pieces for 10euros. Couldn't leave that behind!

Anyway, this was my small haul from the fair and stay tuned for another post about the fair's experience!

Need a new highlighter then grab these from Beauty-uk ♥

Need a new highlighter then grab these from Beauty-uk ♥

Ok so yes another great find if i do say so myself is again from Beauty-uk,i'm doing this blog as i featured these in my 2013 fave products on Youtube then i have also done a separate video on them if you click the link below and owww please subscribe while you are there it would make me grin from ear to ear especially if you told me you had subscribed after reading my blog :)

  Click Here For Youtube Video Review ♥

So anyway i was yet again browsing in Superdrug and walked past the beauty uk stand and thought eye eye i like the look of that funky packaging i wonder what it is,so i opened it as it said Blush thinking it was going to be a blusher but to my surprise it was i would say a highlighter,well i wouldn't use this as a blush as it's the most stunning shimmery champagne type colour highlighter it's gorgeous,i couldn't swatch in the shop as they didn't have one on display and this had film across the top so i took the plunge but yes i got home and though this is most certainly a highlight not a blush but as i lurve highlighters then i was so happy,it's very pigmented so the next time i was in superdrug again i noticed another but it said bronzer but by looking at it then it looked to be baked and too shimmery for a bronzer,so before i knew it i was again at the till getting another one ha ha,couldn't wait to get home to swatch it,and once again it did not dissapoint as yes this was a golden bronze colour,i wouldn't use as bronzer but i would certainly use as a bronzed highlight when i have a tan in summer so whatever your skin type then both shades would look amazing ok the top's of your cheek bone,cupids bow which to you and me is the middle part just above ur upper lip to make it look more pouty and full or bridge of nose or anywhere else you like to highlight,you could even use both on your eyes as shaddow too especially the golden bronze it's stunning and yes they are only £3.99 and as i write this blog they are buy one get one half price in superdrug so be quick and grab two items from Beauty-uk.

If you like the look of these the lighter shade is called Halo and the bronzer shade is called Goddess

The packaging is cute and comes with a handy mirror so great for on the go,please see swatches below and check out the Beauty-uk website and Superdrug on the Links below.

Thanks for reading and as always i would love you to follow here or on Bloglovin or both,thanks

Beauty-uk Posh Palettes Review Masquerade & Festival

Beauty-uk Posh Palettes Review Masquerade & Festival

Hi everyone so as the title might give it away,this is a quick review of two very inexpensive yet very pigment palettes by Beauty-uk,i don't own a vast amount by beauty uk but i do own some items and i bought these two palettes quite a few months back now from Superdrug,i walked into the shop and saw that Beauty-uk had a deal on and i think it was buy one get one half price or something like that so i noticed these palettes right away as they came in bright white packaging and had really big colours inside,i couldn't swatch the colours as they were sealed so ok it was a gamble but for £5.99 and getting the other half price i was willing to take the risk and oh boy i'm so so glad i did,they have three palettes like this called posh palettes and the two i bought were Masquerade and festival but there is also one called Eden which is also a neautral one which looks fab but at the time i wanted the Masquerade more for a certain redish/brown burgundy type colour.

Anyway both palettes i have used quite a few times during 2013 and now into 2014 as i do grab for them quite often.

As you will see by my swatches i have done swatches taken with the flash and without so you can see what they are like but i have to say that they are very pigmented and have Matte colours and shimmers which is brill,i have done a video on them too if you would like to click the link below to see my youtube video in more detail then please feel free {thanks} and subscribe while you are there it would mean the world ♥

Click Here for Youtube video Review ♥

So yes ok you might think wow Vinny i wouldn't use the Festival colourful palette as i don't wear colours but maybe this is your year to shine and to experiment with colour,i don't mean walk down the road like a clown but having a neutral eye but then using a pop of colour just as a line under the bottom of the lash or in the crease slightly maybe to match the colour of your top/dress etc then it makes a whole lot of difference as i explain in the video but i will let you decide but honestly don't be scared of colour,work with it and you can create some amazing looks,have fun and i hope after seeing my swatches or and video you will check out the links below for Beauty-uk and superdrug and grab yourself a bargain or pop into your local superdrug and see if they have them as i don't think you will be dissapointed and i actually featured them in my 2013 fave products i loved them so much,thanks for reading,please leave any comments or questions and please remember to follow me here or bloglovin thanks guys xx

ootd | The Biker outfit

Primark denim blouse, New Look faux leather vest, Zara skort, Nike Air max Thea

Been out for a little while, but I'm back! Needed some time to get back on uni stuff and some time with some friends. I had a high school reunion last weekend because they were going to demolish the building and build a new one. So I met up with some high school friends and we relived some of our high school days (miss those simple days). 

Some of you probably already know but another big reason that took up a lot of time was.. The Walking Dead. Yup, I went there. I am a sucker for a good tv series and this is another one that got me totally hooked. The thing that got me watching was actually because "the Conan show" did a spoof of the series and did some interviews with the actors. And because all series I am watching weekly are on a short break. So I started watching it on Saturday and have 8 episodes left to watch.. So that means I've watched 3 seasons, 37 episodes, 1665 minutes in 4.5 days. Is that considered healthy? The show is so good though! It absolutely deserve all the rage for it. If you can stomach lots of blood, organs and have a thing for zombies.. You should definitely start watching it.

My days filled with fighting zombies probably had affected my outfit of today. At least my interpretation of a though biker chick, who can kick zombies some asses, look. I've been wearing my Nikes a lot again (driving with sneakers is so much easier) and paired it with my Zara skort. On top I wore a button up denim blouse and to finish it added a faux leather vest. Don't know if I really like the combination of the leather and the skort though. I must have thought so in the morning.. You never know if you don't try, right?

What do you think of my biker outfit?

Cherry Blossom Spring Fragrance by Yves Rocher

Un matin au jardin - cherry blossom fragrance by Yves Rocher (pr-sample). 
Look back on the good old days when you were a child - discovering nature and all of its magical and sweet scents.

Bald ist es schon soweit und der offizielle Frühlingsanfang steht bevor. Ein wunderschönes Sinnbild des Frühlings ist der Kirschbaum und sein süßer und lieblicher Duft (◕‿◕✿). In Japan trifft man sich zur Zeit der Kirschblüte in den großen Stadtparks und veranstaltet ein großes Picknick mit Freunden und Familie. Der Andrang ist meist so groß, dass viele, die sich nicht schon tags zuvor einen schönen Platz reserviert haben, kaum Chancen haben ein annehmbares freies Fleckchen zu finden. Erinnert Ihr Euch noch an Umino aus Sailor Moon, der die Nacht extra in einem Schlafsack unter dem großen Kirschbaum im Park verbracht hat, nur um der Gruppe um Usagi & Co. einen schönen Platz zu sichern? - genau so, soll es in Japan auch in Wirklichkeit zugehen (°.°“).

If you have ever smelled on a real cherry blossom you will love this scent 

- it perfectly captures the smell of a fresh cherry blossom in full bloom.

Unsere deutschen Stadtparks sind leider nicht allzu üppig gesegnet mit Kirschbäumen, aber ich erinnere mich noch so als wäre es gestern, an den Geruch des großen Kirschbaums im Garten unserer Nachbarin aus meiner Kindheit. Wer mit der Natur aufgewachsen ist, vergisst sowas nicht so schnell. Ich habe mich daher auch sehr gefreut als ich von der neuen Kirschblüten Duftlinie von Yves Rocher erfahren habe und den Duft zum Testen ( ♥-lichen Dank ) zugeschickt bekam (⌒▽⌒ლ):

Un Matin Au Jardin - Cerisier En Fleurs - Kirschblüten  

 100ml zartrosa (fast schon unsichtbar) eau de toilette 

von Yves Rocher

Direkt nach dem Aufsprühen riecht es noch sehr intensiv, aber mit der Zeit verfliegt diese Intensität und man spürt nur noch einen dezenten Hauch von Kirschblüte - ein zarter, absolut nicht aufdringlicher Duft - perfekt fürs Büro, Schule, Uni und eben jene, die viel im Indoorbereich arbeiten oder unterwegs sind. Und wer es doch noch einen Hauch intensiver mag, der möge seinen kleinen Handtaschenzerstäuber immer griffbereit halten (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).

OOTD | Size it up!

H&M jacket, H&M blouse, SevenSisters jeans, H&M ankle boots

Have you ever seen a clothing item you've wanted for a while but not in your size? It's still worth to try it out! I've had times when I see something I like but not in my size but a few size up.. (it usually happens in Primark) and I just refuse to put it back on the rack again and just keep ahold of it. Until it's time to decide if I want to buy it or leave it. This blouse was one of those days. I saw it hanging on the sales rack and I really liked the layering detail of the blouse but it was as you can guess already too big. I think about three sizes up. But I just tried it on and I thought it was cute as a tunic.

So how do you decide to buy it? First you just look at the fit. Is it okay to wear it a bit oversized? You can always ask someone's opinion on it. Second if it doesn't fit, is it okay to belt it? Usually by cinching it in your waist, you instantly look more pulled together. So next time you see some cute blouse a few sizes too big, try it on! It doesn't really work with pants though.. Maybe the boyfriend fitted ones are okay.

Have you ever worn something a few sizes up than your size?

OOTD | Another plaid-ful day

Zara plaid shorts, Pieces grey sweater, Bershka kneehigh boots, Mango necklace

Another outfitpost with my Zara plaid shorts and kneehigh boots, but I couldn't help it! Especially since I got my driving license, the weather isn't really a big factor in my outfits anymore.. Courses are starting again and I'm feeling motivated to do this right! The coming week is still filled with fun stuff to do but I need to plan my free hours and study hours better this time and maybe this semester will be a little bit more stressfree.

Anyway, my first giveaway ever ended successfully! I wanted to thank all the participants and congratulate the winner. I will plan another giveaway soon! :)
