My weekend in the homeland

Before taking off on holiday to the USA for two weeks I first made a little stop in the homeland. Here some instagram pics from my weekend :)
In flight refreshments from KLM 'a cup of blond' hehe

Delicious Vietnamese dinner after the movies.

Next stop?
Early tomorrow morning I am getting on a plane to Los Angeles for a week in Calfornia. I can't wait to soak up the sunshine, cruise around LA, go rollerblading at Venice beach, try paddle-boarding, shop, try to spot celebrities in Hollywood and watch one of my best friends tie the knot in San Diego! I will try my best to post the occasional update on here now that I have my handy iPad with me! See you later everyone......USA here I come!!

Bourjois Paris Flowers - Summer Trend look+

Back in June Bourjois launched their 2012 summer collection inspired by the beauty of tropical flowers from Latin America with a palette of bright blue teamed with spicy orange.
They created the above look using the following new products from the collection:
Bourjois round pot eyeshadow in no.16, a spicy orange
Bourjois round pot eyeshadow in no.02, a vivid blue (blue canard)
Bourjois 3D effet lipgloss in no.53 Corail artistic (one of my favourite glosses this summer!)
Bourjos Volume Glamour Max Waterproof mascara
I liked this colourful summery look, so I decided to recreate it myself :)
I applied the burned orange eyeshadow (16) all over the lid and into the socket line. Then I dampened the eyeshadow applicator and applied the bright blue shade (02) close to the top lash line for that fun splash of colour!
Other products used in his FOTD:
Clinique stay matte foundation in #9
Vichy dermablend ultra-corrective stick (review here)
UNE BB cream bronzer (review here)
NARS blush in the shade Orgasm
 
What do you think about Bourjois new summer collection? Is this look something you'd ever wear?
 
The full Bourjois Paris Flowers collection is available now at Boots & Superdrug stores nationwide and online.

Life's a beautiful thing...

It's that time of the week again! I love this quote by Marilyn Monroe....
 
Happy Hump Day!

I  also wanted to show you this brilliant gift one of my friends got me the other day. Just for no reason because she felt it had 'roz' written all over it. Check it out...a Ryan Gosling colouring book. What a genius idea. I can't wait to get the crayons out for this one ;)
