SPRING MAKE-UP LOOK















MAKE-UP MONDAY Beauty post it is! When we shoot these images yesterday I already couldn't wait to show you everything and now the time is finally there. You guys have been asking me for some make-up posts serval weeks, months, years so let's start with this one. A spring ready make-up look. When I created this look I started searching for the perfect spring colors. Okay it's so obvious, every tree gets green and the fresh pink and coral flowers are growing everywhere. Now you can already understand why I exactly chose for these colors for my look. The green and golden eyes, pink cheeks and coral lips and nails.

I tried to combine every kind of make-up together. From cheap to something more expensive, items from my daily routine and items I don't use so often. Let's get started with the beginning! A good basic make-up is very important because it will make you look fresh and the other make-up will come out more. I am not a huge fan of foundations etcetera (you'll look like an apple pie and for me it feels like my skin can't breath anymore) so I always use this fantastic Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Beige Rosé No. 22. It's basically a compact foundation so it's perfect to correct some spots and as a base for your eyes. The name already says that it's a very light one as well. You really don't feel like wearing tons of make-up so I can really recommend this one! 

The next step also belongs to my daily routine which is a good bronzing powder and sweet blush. The powder I always use is from Guerlain called Terracotta Light Brunettes No. 03. The thing which makes this one so perfect for me is the different colors in this pallet so you'll never get too brown or to pink. It's also without a shimming which I hate in bronzing powders. They make you look shiny and that isn't really what you want.. (even more when your skin is a little oily than you really have to avoid these shiny ones!) At last the blush where you can use a shiny and glittery one if you like because you'll only use it for your cheeks. Mines is from the new make-up collection from Dior Blush Trianon Edition No. 763 and it's totally amazing! It's the best pink color for my cheeks and it really suits with my daily wear. If you are blonde and have a light skin like me this color can be really nice as well as a more orange one. If you're a brunette I should go for a blush with more brown and dark orange colors. This will make you shine as well! 

That was the basic, let's do the most fun part: the eyes. Like I said I really wanted to combine the colors with the colors you see outside. Before I applied the eyeshadow I wanted to do my eyebrows. I just made them in a little better shape with this Anastasia highlighting kit, afterwards I also used the lightest highlighter for below my eyebrow. When it was done I finished it up with some clear eyebrow gel from the same brand (which I forgot to photograph) to keep them in shape. Now the eyes. I used the BeYu Eye Base before I applied the eyeshadow because it will last so much longer. Then, with a soft brush you can apply the gold which you'll use for your total eyelid. I used one from L'Oréal Paris No. 151 (similar from Mac here). After you did this you can apply the green in your arcade arch. Therefor I used Yves Saint Laurent Ombre Solo No. 05. The best way to do this is keeping your eyes a little bit open and use the soft but round brush. Now you have a good basic and go further with making it in a perfect green shape. A little more brush here and there!

To finish your eyes you need a very pointy black pencil so make sure you have sharpen it perfectly. The one I used is from Estèe Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil No. 01 but of course you can use any kind of black pencil for this step! Now you will start to create a very fine line. Close your eye and do it with patience is all I can say. After you did this you'll do it again but this time with a golden crème eyeshadow and a hard eyeshadow brush. This crème eyeshadow is from Chanel Illusion d'Ombre No. 89 which is really cool because you can do so many things with it! Anyway, when you did this you're almost done. The last step is the mascara. Curl you lashes a little bit while you're using a eyelash curler and then apply your favorite mascara! Mines are Dior New Look and Lancôme Doll Eyes

You're done with the hard work! Apply a lipstick which is the same color as your nails and your spring make-up look is ready! The nail polish I used isn't in the stores anymore I am afraid of because it's already too old but here is something similar. The lipstick I used is from Yves Saint Laurent called Rouge Pur Couture No. 17 which absolutely is my favorite color ever!

Okay loves, this was the first Make-up Monday but I am sure there will follow many more! I enjoyed writing this beauty post so much, same as shooting the photos and doing the make-up. Now the only thing I hope is that you liked it as much as I do! I would love to hear your thoughts! Wish you all good luck and much fun with creating this spring make-up look by yourself.

Lots of love xxx

YELLOW FLOWERS










SUNDAY FUNDAY First of all I hope you are still having a fabulous weekend! Today I worked on something I have promised to do and I am so excited to share everything. It's about a spring make-up look which you guys have been asked for. I really don't know why it took so long to do a new beauty post.. It's so much fun and I love writing about it so much! I really can talk for hours about make-up, hair and skin care and so on!

Since I was 15 years old I worked at a very big perfumery story here called Douglas (maybe you know it form your own country). So my ex-job really helped me with this addiction although, I have to admit that it is in the genes as well because my mom loves cosmetics too. Through the years we both saved so many make-up and perfumes that we can have our own store mwhaha. But as I promised earlier to show you my collection as well I will make a post about all my (our) beauty stuff very soon! I am thinking about creating a Make-up Monday actually, how does that sounds?

Stay ready is all I could say for now folks, tomorrow the blog will explode with some spring beauty images and advices! :). Normally I wear more natural make-up but for the shoot I loved it to work with some colors and the result became totally awesome. Okay I have to stop otherwise I'll already tell you everything.. Let's end my story with this post and new outfit. Like I told you before, I am so addicted with soft pink items at this moment so I literally fell in love with this new sweater. Besides the color it's really comfortable as well. That's why I created this comfy Sunday outfit. Hope you like it!

I was wearing: 
Sweater: Zara (cashmere one)
Scarf: Zara
Hat: Ted Baker

DRESSED BY DRESSLILY












WHITE SHIRT, BLUE ACCESSORIES First of all, happy weekend loves! I hope you will have some fabulous free time! Like I told you last weekend I do love these days. This will be a busy weekend which already started yesterday. That was at the same time the reason for the delated post. But here we are and I can't wait to share my story with you! Like you maybe have noticed on Instagram I was very quiet yesterday. That wasn't without a reason of course. I have been working on a project which I dreamed about when I was a little child. It's about modeling. For now I am just a beginner but I hope, one day, I can do some really exciting projects and shoots! So yesterday was a great Kick Off. I had a shoot for the brand Trust with their subbrand Urban Revolt. They have those really cool gadgets for your mobile phone and tabled and it was so much fun having this shoot. When the photos are online I would love to show you them! A little more patience because it will come very soon! :)

Besides this shoot I hope to do a lot more. Don't worry, blogging is still my biggest passion and I will always share everything with you. Not only the photos but also more about lifestyle. Since I entered this adventure I needed some changes in my body which is totally okay for me. It's always good to have so goals for yourself and I really start to enjoy them. So I should do a healthy lifestyle post very soon, maybe you would like to read them and will help my tips and tricks you to reach your own goal! Besides this I got so many requests about more make-up posts and, like for example, spring make-up looks. That would be also a thing to work on. Maybe in my free day tomorrow I'll make some time to work on a make-up tutorial post! Stay updated anyway and I would love to hear more ideas and requests from you! 

At last I would like to say something about this outfit which is just perfect for daily wear but also for an evening out. That's because of this amazing top from Dresslily and the necklace. I love the snit and the fabric is just so elegant! Can't describe it in any more words actually. You will definitely see me more in these great items! Oh and don't forget about my bag from Notisz Musthaves! Their site is just great and they have so many things for such a good price, you should definitely check that one out! 

Wish you a great weekend folks! Mwuah XXX

SUMMER DRESS BY OASAP







WHITE EMBELLISHED DRESS How gorgeous is my new dress from Oasap?? When I received it yesterday I couldn't be more happy because wow, it's just perfect! I love the simple white fabric with all those colorful embellishments. That makes it oh so summer ready! Because it's still spring so it's a little colder I wore the dress with one of my suede trousers. I think the taupe color of the pants suits very well with the dress, same as the shoes and the bag which matches great with the dress too! Perfect color combo for this spring-ready look. I already can't wait to wear this dress without a pants. How lovely will it look with some matching sandals and nice nail polish? I just love that kind of simple looks!

So I was excited about the dress but I am so much more excited about what is to come to Floortjeloves. The new blog is almost finished and I am overloaded with new inspiration and ideas. Like I told you yesterday I had an interview today. It was with my cousin which studies commercial marketing, so she knows everything about social media and stuff! She gave me so many good advices which will be very good for you too! Like the advice to listen more to your needs of what you want to see. I already tried to do it as much as possible but there will be so much more work to do!

Here is the idea, let's make some more structure about what I post daily. Let's say for example Make-up Monday. I got so many questions form you guys to show my tips and tricks with you and my make-up collection so we actually thought this really was a good idea. To do a weekly post about what you really want to see besides all the outfits I post. So my question for today, how can I improve Floortjeloves the best way you want to see it? And what do you want to see according to articles like make-up, DIY's, videos and so on! I would love to hear all your thoughts and ideas!!

Sending you all my love! xxx
