My red lipstick collection!

One of the most fun things about being a pin-up girl/vintage lover is that I have built up a huge red lipstick collection! Today I want to show you all nine red lipproducts that I have! I don't have reviews on everything yet - in fact, I should get started on writing them - but I'll link the ones I do have. Also, if there's a certain product that you would like to see a review on, let me know!

 

Here's a list of all the lipsticks, starting from the left and going to the right:

* Biocura lipstick

* Essence lipstick in "On the catwalk

* MAC in "Russian Red"

* Kate Moss for Rimmel London in "107"

* Kate Moss for Rimmel London in "111" Kiss of Life

* Miss Sporty in "Malaga

*Essence stay matt lipcream in "Silky Red"

*Essence stay with me lipgloss in "Kiss Kiss Kiss"

* Rimmel Apocalips lip laquer in "The Big Bang"

Most of these items (exept the one by MAC) are super affordable and all very good quality.

Thanks for reading and have a lipsticklicious day!

My newest pin-up palette!

Hello everyone! I couldn't be more excited to show you my newest pin-up palette. And when I say pin-up palette, I do really mean pin-up palette. 

This is the "Nude 'tude" palette by The Balm, which holds 12 colours. The special/fun thing about this palette is that there are six pin-up girls in there that have their private parts hidden with eyeshadow. Need to say more? Probably not!

I knew that this palette existed, but I've looked for it quite a while, yet I could never find it. It was last week when I was on a trip with school to the capitol of my city, that I saw this beauty. My heart almost jumped out of my chest! 

When I saw the price - €35, which is almost $50 - I doubted a little bit but at thesame time I knew that I would regret not buying this from the minute I was going back home.

This is what the palette looks like when you open it. Doesn't it just make you melt? The pigmentation of these eyeshadows is great as well! I must admit that the black colour in this palette is the only palette in my whole collection that is so pigmented. And I do have quite a big collection so that means something!

 

Here are all the girls in detail!

This one is my favourite. Such pretty colours and also, I think this pin-up girl is the most beautiful one. Well no, she just speaks to me the most!

This Saterday I had a party and I decided to use the colours from the palette for this look. I used the white, called "Sassy", the browns called "Sultry" and "Sophisticated" and the black eyeshadow called "Serious". I also used false lashes by Ardell in nr. 109. The liquid eyeliner and mascara that I used are by Essence.

 

I'm so excited about this palette. I love it and I will be using it for sure!

I'm very happy I got it!

Comparing: MAC VS Rimmel

A budget and a high end lipstick that look a like? I always love it when this happens! 

Today I'm comparing MAC to Rimmel. Could Rimmel's lipstick be the budget version of MAC's Russian Red?

Below, you can see the two lipsticks next to each other. They do look similar, don't they?

Swatches! The first one is with flash and the second one is without flash. MAC is the left swatch, Rimmel is the right swatch. I do really think they look similar, the MAC one might just be a little bit darker.

I would say Rimmel's "Kiss of Life" is a pretty good drugstore dupe for MAC's Russian Red. It is slightly less red and a little lighter, but everything else is pretty much thesame!

Thanks for reading!

♥ My day in Brussels ♥

Hi guys! I told you in my previous post that I went to Brussels for a day with school. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but I wanted to share you the ones that I got. I also have an "outerwear" outfit picure. A shorter post today, but I hope you enjoy!

 

Isn't this so cute?! Pin-up street, I loved it! I will be going back one day, haha!

I don't have a longer jacket yet but I do for sure want a brown or a black one with faux fur.

I also do want a hat or some kind of accessory for my hair, but that's for when I go shopping! 

Thanks for reading!

Favourite fall lipsticks

Hey everyone! Today I will be showing you a few of my favourite lipsticks for fall. I might do an updated version of this soon (I have been gaining some other favourites as well), but for now I'm doing the ones that I have been wearing the most.
I do like berry/purple-ish, red, and coral colours a lot! I will list them and link them (if I have a review on it yet).

From left to right:

OOTD: Dots!

Hi everyone! Today I have another outfit of the day for you. This was actually taken on the last sunny day in fall. This outfit is quite simple.

I wore my black basic T-shirt from H&M with a belt and my pencil skirt that is loose at the end. I also wore a lack and gold watch, a black cardigan, a red half heart necklace and my scarf with dots on it. My shoes are very shiny mary jane pumps. Almost all the items that I'm wearing are from Topvintage, which is an online shop.

The red lipstick that I'm wearing is by MAC. Here's the link to my review.

I don't really like fall because it's just so cold outside and often times it's rainy (too rainy!) but I will try to have outfit posts up every once in a while! Thank you for reading!

Take good care of yourself and others! I will see you soon!
Lots of love!

OOTD: Owl City

Hi everyone! How have you been doing? I unfortunately lost my voice and I'm also a bit sick, I hope I can get better soon! Anyways, today I have an outfit of the day for you! 

 

I'm wearing a half sweater with studs (really handy now that it's colder in the morning), a pencil skirt from New Look paired with a shiny black belt and shiny black mary jane pumps. I also have a clock necklace, two bracelets and a scarf with little owls on it (they match the colour of my sweater perfectly).

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
