Baby, it's cold outside

Hi everyone,

As much as I love the snow outside, I, and mostly my skin, don't like the cold that comes with it. It's terrible for my skin! Earlyer I allready did a blogpost on skin protection, where I talked about my favourite face cream and hand cream. Today I'm gonna talk about something I bought today. I was at the supermarket for some stuff, because I'm going on a trip to Prague tomorrow and I came across this labello wit raspberry scent. I just could'nt resist it, because I absolutely adore raspberries and the packaging is totaly adorable. Plus, in wintertime it's realy impotant to take care of your lips as well.

Here are some pictures of the packaging:

It has a cute gnome on it and some raspberries. The Labello is from the Love therapy collection and is a limited edition lipbalm. This one is called raspberry dream. They also had one called magic mint, but I didn't buy that one because I'm not realy a fan of minty scents. 

The package of the lipbalm also has a little gnome on it and a raspberry. It's so cute, and pink, and I love it! I think this is gonna be my new favourite lipbalm. It gives your lips a lovely pink pearly shine, but it's not too harsh. It's kind of like putting on a lipgloss. 

Here's a swatch on my hand. As you can see it's not that harsh, so  it just gives your lips a nice shine without being to overwhelming. You can compare it with the labello pearly shine, but with an extra sweet scent. It absolutely smells delicious!  I would realy recommend this. I bought mine at Carrefour, but I'm sure you can find it in a lot of other drugstores, like Kruidvat, as well. And if you're not a fan of raspberry, you can also try the one with mint. Let me know if you tried that one out and if I should get it. ;)

Love,

Laura

MUA at a fotoshoot from Musthave

Hi everyone,

a few days ago I had the great opportunity to be a make up artist at a fotoshoot for a friend of mine. It was for an advertisement for het clothes and jewelry she sells in her webshop. Make sure to check out her Facebook too! She sells realy nice stuff! :)

It was realy great to be able to do this. It was my first time doing make up on other people so I was quite exited. The result turned out good as well. I'm proud of myself. ^^ Here are some pictures from behind the scenes. I will post some of the eddited pictures as well, when my friend is done with them. I'm exited to see the final result! :)

Thanks to Ines for giving me this opportunity and thanks to the models for being patient with me! ^^ I had a great time. :) I'll be posting some of the final pictures in a while.

Love,

Laura

Hopscotch non toxic nail polish review and swatches

Hi everyone!


Here's a little review on a nail polish I got from my niece for christmas. It's a lovely blue color from the brand Hopscotch. Hopskotch Water Colours are non-toxic, kid-friendly alternatives to solvent base nail polishes. The polishes are water based and are free of the harsh, smelly chamicals most nailpolishes contain. This makes them a lot better for your nails and also makes them perfect for kids to use. The colours they sell are realy vibrant and happy. I got the colour "Three sailors went to sea sea sea", a realy bright blue. I absolutely love it! Here is a picture of how it looks: 

It's absolutely gorgeous! The polish has a realy nice shine to it and just looks realy vibrant and joyful. It also gives a realy nice coverage, allready after one coat of polish. On the picture I'm wearing two cotes, but actually one coat could be enough. I added another, to make it a little bit more solid. I also recomand adding a top coat, because without a top coat it does tend to chip away quite fast. But other than that I realy love it. The colours are lovely, and it's a polish that doesn't harm your nails. Just what I needed! You can check their products out at their website: http://www.hopscotchkids.com/index.php

See you next time!
