The Budget Makeup Edit

Ph/ Private

I thought it was about time I did another beauty edit. I have discovered, tried and tested a lot or products and brands lately - KIKO, Aesop, Bourjois and The Body Shop are just a few of those but some of their products really did need to be mentioned and highlighted.

1. Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and intuitive liner from Bourgeois are what I have been wearing on the eyes lately. The Bourgeois liner is really easy to use and stays on for a better part of the day.

2. The KIKO lip balm has been a life saver and so far I am extremely happy with it and the results.

3. For my skin I have been applying the KIKO universal fit hydrating foundation topped off with the Body Shop all in one BB cream for the cheekbone area (this product is amazing and one of the best BB creams yet). I have recently switched blushes and started using the honey bonze bronzing powder from The Body Shop which has the perfect colour for my skin.

Edit: I have since stopped using the KIKO universal fit - wrong texture and colour for my skin.

4. To prepare my skin I apply vitamin E overnight serum from The Body Shop before going to bed and in the morning, I apply vitamin E illuminating moisture cream when my skin is hydrated enough. When my skin needs a little help I tend to use the Hydra Zen moisturiser by Lancôme.

5. Finally, I never go anywhere without my Aesop aromatic hand balm.

Snapped, Stored & Shared (#15)

1 & 2. I have been asked a few times about my pet, well he he is Swiffer, the rabbit. I know, not your usual rabbit or dog choice, but his fun 3. Amazing skirt from Mango, very Balmain 4. Found these paper bag midi skirt in H&M. They exist in orange, brown and black 5. Went to No Concept (great clothes stores in Brussels) on Thursday evening to have a chat and a drink with Cyrielle 6. Loved this outfit; new red bag (featured soon), Mango fringed boots (A/W 2010), and YesStyle coat 7 & 8. Spent most of my weekend catching up on my TV series (completely addicted to, well, nearly all of them) and cleaning the apartment 9. My nails are going heading for the greens and blues next week (from right to left: Kiko, Hema, Maval and Hema) 10. It might be winter, but that doesn't mean any less of my yellow heels (who have to be the most uncomfortable heels I own) 11. My two go to products at the moment c/o L'occitane and Oona 12. The most amazing sunset, on the minus side it's now dark as of 18h00 which is not going to make taking pictures any easier

I also wanted to share with you this pretty fun cool new hotdog place in the center of Brussels. It's all organic, tasty and not too expensive, oh and delicious of course. A must to try out, and a perfect Sunday snack.
