origins & earth day

Origins is giving out 1 full-size moisturizer in order to help promote recycling! Today and tomorrow (depending on where you are based)!

All you need to do is go to your local origins counter/store and return an empty cosmetics or skincare product. You can then choose between Starting Over and A Perfect World. Visit this link for more information:

The products are full size and in special packaging. My fiance and I both picked one of each up. I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this promotion. The empties you hand in will be recycled into new packaging. Perfect! Needless to say, I am pretty stoked about the products as well, since I have been looking for a good light-weight moisturizer for the day. Origins products are vegan, mineral oil and paraben-free.

So ladies and gents, call your local origins counter to find out if they're participating in this promotion.

peaches and rings

With the warmer weather and sunshine we've been getting, I started experimenting with brighter nail colours again. Yesterday I decided to go for a milky peach shade with fine shimmer, that's hardly noticeable. What a perfect shade for spring/summer and definitely more daring than my go-to taupes. It even makes me look more tan. I also stacked some rings on top of each other. Definetely liking the look. What do you think?

Nailpolish: Sing: Oh, Champs-Elysees by Catrice (German drug store brand)
Rings: Bands on ring finger by H & M and my engagement ring; ring on index finger by Claire's

Also, who's on Instagram?

Love,

good ol' haul

Hello to all my dear followers,

I passed all my exams and only have one paper to finish up. I thought I'd make a blog post that I'd been planning for some time.

This is an older haul, but since 2 of the products are permanent and the lip stick gets repromoted quite frequently, why not show you anyway?

I bought:

- Nars Duo eyeshadow in Dogon = ♥
- Nars Illuminator in Copacabana
- MAC lipstick in Everhip (Perfect coral for spring/summer)

Please let me know if you'd like me to review or swatch any of the items.

Love,
Maya
