new year resolutions for 2017

So this post will be for my personal resolution and some are related to this blog. A lot will change for me next year. Some for the better some for me to learn from. It will be turbulent so my blog will also have some changes. I do hope that I can look back next year with a smile on my face and remeber all the good things just like I am doing right now with 2016.

Favorites of 2016

Im sorry I missed my post last week for christmas. But my week was busier then expected. Sorry for that. I'll upload twice this week. For now since it is the last week of 2016, I want to share my favorite products from this year. These can be products that I have repurchased or that I discovered this year. Are you curious?

Astor lip color

 I got this on my recent trip to germany. I really like these types of colors so I brougth this unknown brand with me. I don't remember the exact price but everything I bought was under 10 euros, so buget proof. This is in the color 019 Plump it from the Soft sensation lipcolor butter.

Lamin sheet mask

 I got this mask a while back when I was in Japan. I got this while buying some other products. It was not something I chose personaly, so the more curious I am about this product.

Germany Make up shoplog

So about a week ago I went to Germany to take a Japanese test in preparation for my exchange next year. I might go into detail about this later on. I took this opportunity to look at some brands that you can't find where I live. So I went to the German drugstore and found some interesting items. All items will be reviewed later on.

Self brow tattoo tint pack

 I got this still from my latest yesstyle shopping spree. It is from the brand secret key. I didn't find the right amount of time to review this product. That is what took so long and why there were no posts available this week. I am sorry about that.

shoplog primark

 I had a early shoppin spree at the primark. I spend to much money on gifts clothes and christmas decorations. I'll show you what I got an maybe give you some ideas to get yourself.

Shoplog Yesstyle November 2016

I once again found some items on Yesstyle.com. I thought I would share these items with you.

berrisom OOps Angel lip tatto #5 Dreamy cherry blossom

I ordered some items online. A full shoplog will be up later. This was a lipstick that I saw and was quite intrested in.

Lush jelly pots

Last summer my dad bought me some Jelly pots from lush, thinking that I will like them. Needless to say I was happy when I got them and wanted to take a shower immidiatly. 

TonyMoly Red wine mask

I got this mask a while ago but never got around using it. I finally had the time to enjoy this mask.

Japanese slimming products

 Japans obsession with being thin is obvious wherever you go. In all kinds of stores you will find products that will enhance your beauty by slimming parts of your body with different techniques. I saw so many different products that I became curious whether it worked or if it is just a marketing trick. I got 2 different products for 2 body parts.

etude house masks

I tried 3 types of masks that I found in a korean store. Each masks has it own function and I want to see which one works best for me and whether they do what they promise.

Etude house wonder pore freshner

 I got this in Japan as well. I know what you must be thinking it is november and she is still showing things she bought so many months ago. Well yes I am, and I think I will be for a while. But anyways, this product intriqued me since my pores are usually very big and this product promises to make them less visible. I want to find out if that is true.

canmake your lip only gloss

 This is a product that I heard a lot about when research what I wanted to buy in Japan. This lipgloss was something that was mentioned so many times. Now I am not the biggest fan of lipglosses. to be honest I don't like the stickyness of them. I prefer lipstick. But because of th emany prices it has won and the great things I have heard about it, I am willing to give it a try. I hade to pay around 8 euros for each lipgloss, if i remember it correctly. Each lipgloss has a plastic seethrough container with a print locked with a golden top.

etude house playstick 101

 I found the etude house store in Nagoya last summer. I found this contour stick that I have been curious about for a while now.

Ciate nail polish

 I really waned a black nailpolish and a store I went into had this cute bottle of black nail polish.

W7 On cloud nine

 I found this in my still to try drawer at home. I was curious to see how blue eyeshadow looks on me since I think that blue eyeshadow is difficult to work with.

catrice ulluminating blush La vie en rose

 I came across this catrice blush The pattern within the blush is something that intrigued me. The darker shade with the lighter shade. I was eager to try this out.

Sugao blush

This product is a Japanse blush that i found in a store. It is from sugao.

tony moly liquid lipsticks

 

I got to liquid lipsticks from tony moly when I was in Japan. It number 1 and 2. since the names are in korean I can't read them. so the numbers will have to do. It is a pink and a red lipstick.

Dolly wink eyeliners

 

 

This is one of those products that I heard a lot about. But because it is very expensive to buy this online I decided to wait until my next trip to Japan. In the first store that I went looking for these the black one was already sold out. I was warned for that since these are very popular. In the end in managed to get a black one and a brown one. I am talking about the dolly wink eyeliners.

etude house blush

One of my favorite brands from Asia is etude house. I managed to get my hands on one of there cute blushes. It is number 2.

Revlon Ultra matt lipcolor 12. Addiction

I will finally start with my products from Japan. I know this is not a Japanese brand but the color looked so amazing that I was not able to leave it. I just had to take it with me.

Baby lips balm and blush

For my birthday, a while ago, I received a baby lips balm that you can use for your lips and on your cheeks. I was curious to find out whether it worked or not.

catrice trio contour palette

After all these weeks I am finally back to my make up. I will start of with something form europe before I get to the Asian make up. I found this palette at a local drugstore and got enthusiastic when I saw it.

My last week in Japan

I'm back. I am still a bit sick but I feel well enough to make this post again. So I will show you about my third week in Japan this summer.

 

 

sorry

Tpday I won't be posting any blogs. My university has started again and for some reason I have been feeling sick all week. Because of this I have not had the time or energy to make a new post this week. Sorry for that. I hope to feel better this weekend and update again normaly on tueseday

Japan Shoplog 2016

I spend 4 weeks in Japan this summer and of course I had some time to go shopping. I mostly bought Asian products and a few western products. I will show you everything today.

Koji eyelash glue

 

When I got my fake lashes I wasn’t too happy with the glue that came with it. My lashes came off after a couple of hours. That is not something you want to happen to you on a normal day or a night out. So I decided to try out some other glue to see if that one worked better. I found the Koji eyelash glue in clear for less than 3€.

What would you buy tag

I wanted to do a new tag for a while now. and since I have not yet been able to prepare my blogposts since my vacation I thought this is the time. This tag was invented by Dutch beauty blogger  elisejoanne.  For this tag you get a certain product type and you will have to recommend a product to buy.

Personal update

Hi everyone,

As you may have noticed this past tueseday there was no post. I recently came back from my 4 week trip in Japan and am currently hosting some people at my house. I realised that I gave less time on my hands than I expected. this means that I do not have as much time to work on my blog posts as I would like. Starting next week I will post regularly. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Next week i will also upload some vlogs from my time in Japan. please look forward to them.

See you next time,

Leonie

I found this lipstick in a sale part of a drugstore. At first I thought it was a nailpolish because of the shape. But after opening it I found out it was a lipstick.

etude house precious mineral any cushion

 

I got this in a little shop in the Netherlands. I found them online and realized they sold Korean make up. I went to pay them a visit and found the etude house precious mineral any cushion bb cream. This was actually on my wish list for my trip to Japan this summer. But I already found it now. I got it in #2 light beige. I think this is the lightest color they have.

real thechniques eye shadow brushes set

 

I know real techniques came out with new covers to keep the brushes in. But when I ordered them I still received the old cover. And to be honest I like the old cover as well as the new one.  The newer one looks nicer but the old one is fine to.

W7 in the night

 

 

 

I already tried the in the buff pallet from this brand, which I really liked. So when I came across this pallet I did not think twice and bought it. It is filled with pink and purple tones a high lighter and a black liner.

Lush 9 to 5

I wanted to change my nightly routine again since I wasn’t completely happy with the results of my previous one. I decided to get rid of my cleansing milk and toner and try something new. I start off with a micellar water to remove my make up, and will continue with lush 9 to 5 for cleaning my pores.

cezanne high lighter

I have had this high lighter for quite a while now. And it has become one of my favorites, so I couldn’t help but wanting to share it with you.  Do not get scared because this looks really white and it might leave a white glow on your face, I will tell you all about it.

Red carpet tattoo chic burgundy

I got myself a new red lipstick. I thought it was going to be a kind of classic red but now I am not sure how to describe it. It is a lipstick that I do like.

Nature republic Aloe vera gel

This product is a hyped product. I wanted to know what the hype was all about. Since the packaging is all in Korean I had to look up what it is actually used for. Now I found out that there are 8 ways of using this product.  I decided to try all the possible ways and find my preference.

etude house BB cream

This is a product that I have wanted to try for so long now. It is my first Asian BB cream. This is from the Precious cover bright line in the color 2 light beige. This line comes in 3 different shades. In my opinion they are light shades. I think I got the lightest shade.

TonyMOly crystal busher #3

A saw this blusher online and immediately wanted to get it since it looked really cute. The color is a peachy color.

TonyMoly Auto lip liner

Today another product review from my shop log of Korean make up. I bought this lip liner because I wanted a dark one, and this one seemed perfect. It has two sides to it. One side with a creamy lip liner and the other side with a brush.

This lipstick seems like a bit of a darker pink lipstick but in reality it is more of a nude pink

nude BB powder

A while ago I tried a poweder foundation my friend had. I fell in love with it but sadly eneough we both do not know which brand it was from. Ever since I have tried to find that foundatioin or one that was just as good. This is in the color for the light skin tones and promisses to give a velvet finish.

it's skin eyeshadow

 

In my shoplog I already showed you this eyeshadow pallet I bought.  I bought to separate eyeshadows and a loose pallet to place them in.  originally I was not going to buy the pallet but once I was reading the comments in the eyeshadow, for some research, I read that the eyeshadows come without packaging. Since I do not own any changeable pallets I bought this pallet which was around 8€. In this pallet you can place 6 different eyeshadows. Each eyeshadow will cost around 4€ - 5€
