Review & Swatches: Y.S.L Rouge Volupté Shine Lipsticks


When it comes to the world of lipsticks, in my opinion, Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks are at the top of the lipstick Mount Everest. Their packing has the appearance of a three billion dollar mansion, their quality is as good as Iron Man’s suit and just their overall feeling makes you feel like a Hollywood star.

When I saw amazing makeup artist Lisa Eldrigde use Y.S.L’s Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick in number 19 I literally gasped for air. Such a stunning, modern pop of color.
I decided to splurge and buy two Rouge Volupté Shines myself!

Review & Swatches: M.A.C “Year of the Snake” Lipsticks

When M.A.C emailed me the press release for their “Year of the Snake” collection
I -no joke– screamed a little, almost burst out of my skin from excitement and begged for collection samples. I imagined writing the most awesome blogpost review on the products I’d receive, and just having a good ol’ time while doing all of it.

But when this pretty package landed in my hands, I actually had the flu.
And the flu, ladies and gentlemen, is a bitchy little thing. It makes anything pretty look 200% prettier. It makes pretty things look like angels sent from above.
(Imagine: Glowy products looking like a “glowing, mind blowing sunset”)

You can imagine that when I opened this pretty package, all the flu told me to do was:
“SWATCH ALL OF THIS. You know you want to! *evil face*”
I was weak. I was lacking any type of pretty in my life at that moment.
And so I ended up swatching all the products, meaning I ruined them for review pictures.

But I did accomplish to leave the lipsticks unharmed..

M.A.C “Taupe” Blush VS. N.Y.X “Taupe” Blush

My undying love for N.Y.X’s blush in “Taupe” has been a well known fact for months and months now. It’s my life saver: It makes me look like a supermodel when I feel like a crack-addict. It makes me look like a photoshopped goodness when I feel like an unliquified mess. This blush is heaven and more to me..

But then N.Y.X decided it was time to shatter my golden days and discontinue “Taupe”..

New in Portfolio: Fashionmilk 3.0 – The Class of 2012!


Eva Bus @ Fresh Model Management
Since I launched my highly improved website with an entire new layout and tons of other fun stuff, with that Bianca Toeps (good friend, photographer and website builder… really what can’t she do?) also made a gallery for me. In there I could easily add photoshoots I’ve worked on and other cool stuff I want in there.

A couple of weeks ago Bianca (also the woman behind awesome Dutch website Fashionmilk.com) organized the third “Fashionmilk” shoot. As I’ve been a part of these shoots since day 1 it was my job to do makeup that day!
