YSL - Lingerie Pink

Back in June I was lucky to buy the well known YSL Rouge Volupte Lingerie Pink lipstick on a blog sale by the wonderful Charlotte at Lipglossing.com. This lipstick had been on my wish list for ages - after reading about it & seeing so many gorgeous images of it on my favourite blogs, I knew I had to have it! But the price tag in the shops always put me off a little. So this blog sale was perfect and I was able to score it at an awesome price - THANKS again Charlotte! Somehow it got "lost" in the mail we think, because it took just over a month to arrive in The Netherlands from the UK, crazy right? But anyways it arrived today and I am just so over the moon. 

For me the lipstick really lives up to its huge reputation! Super creamy with the most pigmented and glossy formula I have ever tried. See it swatched on my lips below! Lingerie Pink (#7) is a stunning light pink with blue undertones.

What I love about this lipstick too is that you can apply it lightly for a more neutral pink or if you apply it more heavily it becomes a very bright light toned pink. Me wearing my new awesome lippy below!

I am indeed officially in love ♥ May need to get some more of the Rouge Volupte lipsticks now (sorry bank account!) ;)

Maxi's!

I have found a new love; Maxi dresses! I have always loved the look of them on other people but I never thought they suited me (don't know why..) so I didn't own any. This holiday so far I have bought 3x and just think they are the perfect outfit for summer. Very breezy, comfortable and casual but still stylish! Here are two recent OOTD's wearing my Maxi's! ♥

Maxi dress by Zara (TRF Collection)

Striped Maxi dress by Topshop

The third maxi dress I got was just a very simple black jersey racer-back one from H&M. Which can perfectly be accessorized with different colour belts, scarfs and jewellery (as per this little polyvore set I created)

Another exciting purchase I wanted to tell you all about is my NEW CAMERA! The other day (after years of yearning for one) I finally spoiled myself & bought a DSLR Sony A330 :) I can't wait to learn how to use it haha and start taking beautiful pictures! 

Ps: Holland lost the World Cup Final 1-0 :( 

So I'm feeling a little sad today...

Hup Holland Hup!

I'm about to head into The Hague city centre to the pubs with my brother and his girlfriend to watch the World Cup Final between HOLLAND and Spain! Soooo nervous! I have my Dutch Football shirt on to support Orange! Hope we can win this, would be soooo amazing! Wish us luck :) 

Hup Holland Hup!! Me = Proud Dutchy ;)

Plenty of love in our house>

Oh how I am loving this amazing European Summer weather at the moment! It's a fab improvement from the cold & drab weather in Wellington, NZ! In the Netherlands it's been sunny and between 28-34 degrees the last few days. Which means time to bring out summer dresses or shorts. Love it! Here's my casual OOTD:

"There was plenty of love at our house" T-shirt by Ruby

100% Linen khaki/grey shorts by Witchery

Large diamonté studs by Witchery

I am having so much fun playing around with all my new MAC eyeshadows. So I thought I would share one of my favourite new looks by using Haux in the crease! It's such a beautiful soft brown/rosy shade and a dream to blend!
