The blog has been up for 9 (!) months now. It's crazy how much fun I've had writing and taking pictures. I really do enjoy being part of the blogging world. As it's the end of 2013, I thought a quick overview of my current favourite beauty products/tools might be appropriate. I love reading about people's favourites but it never occurred to me that maybe you'd be curious about mine too.

Another Lush product review, and I'm not sorry! Lush is clearly one of my favourite cosmetics brands. Not only do I love their products, I admire the brand's mindset and their way of communicating their beliefs to customers. I've been using their Godiva solid shampoo bar for the past four months. Of course I had to write down my thoughts for all of you to read here!

I can't believe Christmas is here already! Time flies, but I do love this time of the year. Not long ago I promised to show you my makeup look more often. What better occasion than my look for Christmas Eve?

Lately I've been inspired by dark lipstick. I used to never have the guts to make my lips really stand out, but I've seen so many people rock beautiful shades this season that I wanted to try it myself - and I think I might just wear it more often. Plum, berry, burgundy, I need all of them!

Do you like dark lipstick? Which finish do you prefer - glossy or matte?

Last week I picked up this shower gel from The Body Shop's Cranberry Joy limited edition holiday collection (find out about the other 2 collections at thebodyshop.com). The festive packaging instantly drew my attention with its bright red colour - so cute!

It's December and I am excited! The holiday season has officially kicked off, which means the house is now beautifully decorated, I can watch Christmas movies all day (seriously my favourite thing!), stores are getting all christmassy as well and I am ready to find my friends and family some nice presents. But I also get to pick out goodies I'd very much like to have myself! Yep, another one of my favourite things to do.

I've been thinking a Face/Look Of The Day post has been long overdue, so today I want to show you my makeup from last Saturday. Please note that this picture was taken 5 hours after doing my makeup, so the foundation didn't look that great anymore. I couldn't find any good light in my house either. I'm really sorry about the bad quality but this will have to do for this post.

It seems as if these green little tins have been playing hide and seek ever since they became available in Belgium, but I finally found one! I'm talking about the Bourjois Java Rice Powder, an illuminating loose powder that is actually a relaunch of the brand's first bestseller back in 1879! Today it is a loved product amongst beauty bloggers and with good reason.
