TheBalm: FRATBOY

You knew it was coming, I kinda forgot to post it. But have no fear, the post is here. 

Here's my review of the FRATBOY blush/eye shadow from TheBalm. This pretty blush has stood on my wishlist for quite some time. Until ..., TheBalm came to Belgium. Some time ago I was able to take a look at the collection they're offering here in Belgium and of course I couldn't leave empty handed. This first product I brought home, you all saw some blog posts ago. Today the blush is up for review. 

The FRATBOY blush is a pretty pinky, coral blush with great pigmentation. It has a very subtle gold shimmer and a pearly sheen when applied. FRATBOY can be used both as a blush and eye shadow. The texture is extremely soft and silky. You can apply the blush as sheer or as bold as you like. Also, the color won't fade away very fast. It lasted all day on me. 

Here are some swatches:

Sheer - Bold

This blush looks especially great during summer in the sun, but I think it works great all year round. 

Have you tried other products from TheBalm you really liked? Or have you tried FRATBOY blush yet? What were your thoughts?

Lots of love.

Maybelinne Color Show: Brocades

Glitter nail polishes are beautiful all year round. But when Christmas is around the corner glitter nail polish can take your outfit to another level. Recently Maybelline has come out with a some new nail polishes in the Color Show range: Brocades. 

The Body Shop: Vanilla Bliss and Linen Spritz

I love me some good smelling products. Especially when they smell like vanilla, nothing smells better to me than perfume or body products that have vanilla in them. This Christmas season The Body Shop came out with three limited edition sents. Cranberry Joy, Ginger Sparkle and Vanilla Bliss. Normally, I'm not a big fan of The Body Shop. I think their products are kind of expensive and the sents they have in their permanent line never really swept me off my feet.

Nail obsession: imPRESS Press-on Manicure

Nails are a good way to express yourself, or more appropriate impress. I've had more compliments on my nails the past week then I've had in a while. People have been noticing that my nails looked exceptionally good this week. Everyone asked if I had my nails done or what was different? Well, here's the secret. I've been wearing press-on nails all week.

The Balm: Shady Lady

Hi everyone,

Recently I've discovered a new brand in the Belgian 'drugtores'. Much to my surprise The Balm found it's way to Belgium. American brand that provides paraben and cruelty free products worldwide. I rushed my butt over to the store as soon as I could but kinda forgot to blog about them. I had my eye on that blush for a long time now. A lot of beauty guru's on youtube rave about the Fratboy blush. So there was no doubt about it that that baby would find a new home when I saw it lying on the shelf. Review of that will follow soon.

 

The other thing I had my eye on was the Nude Tude eyeshadow palette. But when seeing it in the store it looked to much like all the other eyeshadows I already own, so I couldn't justifie buying that. But the makeup hoarder collector in me couldn't walk out with only that blush though.. So the Shady Lady happened.

Nail of the day: A cut above

Hi everyone,

Here's a quick nail of the day for you all :)

I've been loving me some sparkle lately and I thought I should share that, cause frankly who doesn't like sparkle?! 

I'm wearing OPI's 'My Pimped Out Wonderland' (from the Astrid Bryan collection for OPI) and my newest Essie polish 'A cut above' (limited edition).  

Lots of love.

Haul: Beauty shopping in London

Hi everyone,

During this summer vacation I've had the time to do some traveling again and went to a city (one of them at least) that stole my heart. London has it al! I just love the people, everyone is so friendly, the vibes the city gives, not to mention the shopping.
London takes shopping for girls like us to another level..

Here's the haul of all the beauty things a got when in London:

The overview

Londen after Christmas: Part 2

Hi everyone,
Here's part to of my London haul. Let's hop right in :)

After going to Gap we went to Topshop. I was looking for a hat i had seen before but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway, I went through the rest of the store and found a really nice pair of paint is the sale section. I had been on the hunt for a sort of oxblood colored pair of pants and found exactly what I was looking for.

The picture doesn't really do the color of the pants justice but that's the best I could do with the lighting at that time.

London after Christmas

Hi everyone,
I know it's been a while since the last blog post here on Eausobeauty.
Well, I needed a little break and the holiday time seemed very great timing.
I'm back again and I'm going to try to work out a plan to have up at least 4 blog post a week.
Let's say I'll try to put on up every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. If I miss a day feel free to call me out on it! :) But I promise to do my very best not to let you guys down again! :)


So to begin blogging again I thought I would start by sharing what I bought in London with you all.
My parents surprised me and my brother with a surprise trip to London right after Christmas.
The day we left home and arrived in London was the first day of the sales in England, called Boxing day. All the stores start there huge sales and they last for a certain amount of time, (a month? I'm not sure). Anyway, here is an overview of what I bought.
