Versace x H&M: My Buys

Finally I can show you my buys from Versace x H&M. I know it's late but I finally had the time to make some pictures from my buys.

When I was in Maastricht for the collection I was by the first group to choose from everything they had. I was there at 6.30 AM. They had almost everything from Versace for H&M, so I was really happy about it that I could score everything what I want. I went not to Hasselt, because last year I went there for the Lanvin x H&M but they hadn't the coat that I wanted. I bought the green blue scarf, the heart printed bag, the red ring and the necklace with the logo from Versace.

As we were waiting outside we get the Dutch Grazia from that week for free and they also handed out some coffee or tea. So that we all could bare the cold.

Here are the pictures. Hope you enjoy it!

Baobab First Flagship Store in Belgium

Baobab is a brand, that is created in Tanzania and 100 % belgian, which sells luxury scented candles. Now it has opened his first flagship store in Brussels located near the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe-ter-Zavelkerk in the historique Zavelquarter.

I discovered the brand on the Pure pressdays, where I immediately was intrigued by their packaging and the scents of the candles. I also got a candle in my pressday goodiebag which I was really delighted with.

In the store you can find a wide range of scented and design candles in different formats, colors in transparent or tinted glass or stainless steel. There are five formats. Also you can find the known interior perfumes from Baobab Collection.

You can also find diffusers, luxurious accessories and a Christmas collection for 2011.

So this can be a perfect Christmas gift for your family and friends.

Review: Too Faced “Sweet Dreams” Makeup Collection

When I saw this new palette from Too Faced, I was really excited. I really love the palettes from Too Faced, so i really needed this one too.

The set contains 15 eyeshadows, a bronzer, a highlighter, 2 blushes, instructions cards and a Primer.

When I first opened it, my first reaction was: 'wow'. I think it's a really gorgeous palette, but it's so big and the edges could easily break. My first thoughts about the eyeshadows where that they're used again different colors, in order to the one from 2010 (which I didn't bought because there were too much white and dark colors.). The eyeshadows are also high pigmented. Also the blushes and bronzers are really good.









The negative I find about this palette is that there no compartment is for the primer, it was in the box, on top of the palette and that there are no lip glosses in it.

In the Buff - Peach Fuzz - Copper Peony - Today Bear - Lovely Dovey

Satin Sheets - Cut the Cake - Party Girl - Nice Ash - Smolder

Honeymoon - Label Whore - Nice Stems! - Cop a Teal - First Dance

Chocolate Soleil - Candlelight Glow - Cocoa Rose - Sweet Pink

The palette cost 49 euros/ 52 dollar. It's available in Sephora stores and on the Amercian website from Sephora.
