Dear readers,

I had to buy some sweater as it feels like it's getting colder. And as boohoo has everything on Sale right now plus my discount as a student I had to order loads of stuff. I'm following Ling KT for a while now, so I know, boohoo also sells makeup. I love how the liquid lipstick looks on her, so I thought why not. And surprisingly, they're cheaper than I thought and the quality is way much better than I expected.




One package includes 3 of those liquid lipsticks. I chose the nude package and actually, two of them were part of my favourite nude liquid lipsticks right now. The colour is so pigmented and matte. It dries really quickly, so applying them has to be learned. And as they are drying so quickly, they making my lips very dry, so I had to hydrate them constantly and put a basic layer of balm and healthy lip oil before applying the liquid lipsticks by boohoo. But it is so worth it! They are even waterproof and they last for hours. Even hours of clubbing and drinking.




And at least the "matte me up" lip kit was way too cute to ignore and they are perfectly as small gifts for female , so f I didn't opeit to try them out.

boohoo is really known for clothes, but it's really worth it to try out their makeup section. This is not an advertisement or a collaboration! I bought them myself, just to try them out.

Dear readers,

it was a little bit quiet around me, but honestly it wasn't because of the Christmas Season. Niclas and I couldn't really enjoy Christmas this year as we're having a lot to study. Although we celebrated Christmas very special this year as we were at my godfathers home in Eindhoven, Netherlands. As my sister spending Christmas in bars instead of having heading out of presents on Christmas Eve, we had to open our gifts at home.

I didn't wish for anything special this year. But I was glad about the presents I received. I got a lot of expensive fragrances, so I can extend my fragrance collection. I nearly change my favourite scent every year. But they are nearly the same. It has to scent flowery and sweet with a small note of fresh. And there are a few I really like.



One of my first scent was "La vie est belle" by Lancôme. More flowery than sweet. The scent of jasmine makes the scent very feminine. "Coco Mademoiselle" by Chanel is the fragrance for strong women. The scent is very oriental and powerful. It's more for women over 30 as it smells very mature. I don't use it very often, because it's matching better to my mum than to me.




"Daisy Dream" by Marc Jacobs smells very fruity and fresh. Especially for office and for college I like to use it as the scent is not too heavy. "Omnia Crystalline" by Bulgari was one of my favourite scent about a couple of years ago. It is also fruity and fresh, but I like mostly the note of fresh lotus in it. The fragrance "Black Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent is more for my sister than for me, as it is really sweet. More girly than feminine.



And my absolute favourite at the moment is "Sì" by Giorgio Armani! Very feminine and sexy. It has a flowery note of jasmine, the sweetness of vanilla and the fruity note of currants. I has the perfect combination I really like and it is not too heavy.

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas. Tomorrow Niclas and I will celebrate our 5th anniversary and I'm already planning the perfect makeup, the outfit and anything else. I am so excited.

Dear readers,

every morning I woke up, it is dark and cold. I hate waking up for work or for college in cold days. I won't get out of bed easily although it's already tough for me to wake up early. The only advantage of this season are the oversized sweaters. I like those sweaters in different styles and sizes, but mostly in soft colours. And I like the small details of all the sweaters. And I wanted to point out some specific details.




My first choice is very simple. But with my form of face it's difficult to wear turtleneck sweaters. Luckily, I found one by Pieces, where the turtleneck is very small and the material feels like cashmere. The salmon sweater has shoulder cutouts. A trend of this season and it's like, why am I wearing sweater with cutouts, when I want to wear warm clothes. Good question. So I just wear cutouts sweater for outside night outs.




The grey sweater is tied up at the back. I love this sweater, because it is oversized. Mainly for everyone, who likes to wear leggings, this sweater covers perfectly everyhing, which has to be covered (if you know what I mean) and it looks casual chic.

Last but not the least, the glamourous one. A ripped one shoulder bodycon sweater. This one was perfectly for Dinner with Niclas in cold days or even combined with leather leggings on New Years Eve. What are your favourite details of sweater? Do you know more interesting details?

Dear readers,

I think since the day I started to use makeup, I always had a favourite makeup brand. It changes a lot and it mostly depend on the product. But I recognize I use Smashbox a lot. My best friend presented me a contour kit by Smashbox on my birthday once and I was curious about the brand.



I took advises of makeup artist I know and I collect samples to learn more about the brand and at least, I can't stop buying them.




I swear on the Smashbox photo finish primer oil I used it nearly every day. Just nearly every day, because this product is always sold out! I planned to buy more in reserve. Never using the foundation of Smashbox before, but I read loads of positive comments about it. I actually use the perfect match by L'Oréal, but it don't last all day long. And I need the matte effect.
I will create my makeup look with this foundation soon.

My next growing collection is the always on liquid lipstick. The colours are absolutely pigmented and matte and they definitely beat my MAC matte lipsticks collection. They last a whole day and a whole night, but it's getting really dry on my lips. My trick is to put vaseline on my lips or the photo finish primer oil to make my lips a little bit moist again.



I also tried out the different mascaras and I am convinced of the x-rated mascara. I bought it by advise from a makeup artist. It's a little bit more expensive than the full explosure mascara, but the quality is much better. The full explosure mascara has a mini me, and the mini me is definitely much better than in original size.



I order my products online right from their site, since I recognize there are more benefits and cheaper to get them on their page. You don't even need to be a member to get a lot of discounts on the products. I just wished they are working on the texture and formula of their always on liquid lipstick making the lips less dry.

That would make me sooo happy.

Dear readers,

I am crazy about lipsticks. My very first lipstick is "Ruby Woo" by MAC Cosmetics. The colour ruby woo was my inspiration for my pseudonym "RubyliXious". But MAC is not only famous for its lipstick. There are lot more to discover, but not everything is good. I was absolutely disappointed in the primer of MAC, so I gave MAC up for a little while. My sister had the idea to buy me bronzer and highlighter of MAC for my birthday and I was skeptical first.



I tried out a lot of bronzer and highlighter, but I was not satisfied. I like light highlighter with glitter and bronzer with glitter as well. But most of the bronzer and highlighter with glitter were too much to handle. Therefore, I was happy about the quality of the products my sister bought me.

Not only happy, I am flashed, literally. These are definitely my favourites of MAC. I really love my lipsticks, but I can't live without these. I don't actually use them just for bronzer and highlighter. They are perfectly as eye makeup as well. They contouring my face and it the best part I look fabolous with all the glitter on my face.



And as we all know the quality of MAC, it lasts the whole day and night. The price is fair for this quality. I have mine since April now and I still have a lot, so I think I don't need to rebuy it so often. So, the price is really fair.
